Abstract

This study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. The comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity measures for low-rise buildings with different fundamental periods. In addition, since some specific intensity measures are commonly applied in codes, the amounts of standard deviation computed in this study could be very beneficial in answering the question of being worthy to consider another intensity measure, to improve the certitude of structural responses, noting expansion in calculationefforts.
