Therefore, considering an appropriate number of ground motions is crucial to enhancing the reliability of the input variables used in evaluating the structural performance. Keywords: ground motions; seismic fragility curves; earthquake damage 1. Introduction Earthquakes are unpredictable natural disasters ...
2. Types and Characteristics of Ground Motions The ground motions used in this study were referenced from the set of ground motions used in FEMA P-695 [24]. In FEMA P-695, ground motions are classified as “Far-Field” if the epicentral distance is 10 km or more and “Near-Field” if...
