A risk- and cost-related approach for the global seismic safety assessment of existing buildings

A probabilistic methodology is proposed to assess the seismic safety of a building using global performance metrics and to determine if it conforms to a given limit state. The performance metrics are the probability of occurrence of the limit state, the corresponding expected loss associated to the...
