Work on this project was intended to be an extension of a National Science Foundation (NSF), George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Grand Challenge project, "Mitigation of Collapse Risks in Older Reinforced Concrete
Linear modal analysis and superposition technique has been used extensively in earthquake engineering and seismic applications for decades, and it is here extended to the nonlinear domain by representing the material nonlinearity using the force analogy
This study was conducted by the National Institute of Building Sciences Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC). The goal was to develop standardized categories for older concrete buildings that incorporate more detail than those included in the standard

To encourage further development of PBSD, FEMA commissioned several action plans that included work plans and budgets, and these efforts culminated in 2002 when FEMA provided the Applied Technology Council (ATC) with funding to develop next generation
The performance of modern buildings with respect to protecting life safety in recent earthquakes (e.g., 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge, and 2001 Nisqually) generally has been adequate. However, economic losses refl ecting damage-repair costs and
