  Traditionally, collapse potential was estimated by using non-deteriorating systems in order to predict the Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs) and assigning judgment limits for these parameters. Recently, the deteriorating systems have been used for estimation of collapse but still based on pre-established EDPs limits. However, EDPs become very sensitive when the system is very near to collapse, and small disturbance of the input creates great variations in the response. In the earthquake engineering, the concept of global collapse denotes the lack of ability of a structural system for bearing the gravity loads in exposing the seismic excitation. In the earthquake engineering the concept of collapse denotes the lack of ability of a structural system or a part of it, for bearing the gravity load-carrying capacity under the seismic excitation. Collapse can be local or global; the local.. Read More»
