An efficient approach to evaluate seismic performance and reliability of wood shear walls

Performance-based engineering and design aim to achieve multiple performance levels under different hazard levels. There is a need to define and quantify structural performance in a reliability based format for managing risk and uncertainty. The tedious process of nonlinear dynamic analysis of shear...
