The Concept of Zero Seismic Capacity
Summary:
I have often stated that some structures have zero seismic capacity. That is not the same as zero ground motion, since any structure must stand up to the live loads such as wind and people dancing.
As a recap, I have dedicated my whole life to eliminating acceleration in reference to seismic. This was a standard adopted many years ago because accelerations are easily measured, and can be used
