Seismic Safety of California Concrete Structures by Jashwin Ullal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses using collapse risk to inform seismic safety decisions for existing reinforced concrete structures in California. It summarizes how legislation has historically been triggered by damage in past earthquakes. Recent advances now enable explicit calculation of collapse risk, allowing comparison of risks between structure types. This provides an opportunity to standardize and prioritize seismic safety policies. As an example, the collapse risk of an archetypical older concrete moment fram
