Prediction of seismic demand model for pulse-like ground motions using artificial neural networks

A probabilistic seismic demand model that relates ground motion intensity measures (IMs) to the structural demand measures is a useful tool for reliability analysis of structures. It is common to utilize the scalar seismic parameters or a vector of a few seismic parameters to reveal ground motion uncertainty. However, for the qualification of an IM for representing the ground motion uncertainty, a larger vector of greater seismic component is...
