Discussion on 'a framework for the evaluation of ground motion selection and modification procedures' by N. Simon Kwong, Anil K. Chopra, and Robin K. McGuire

摘要

The paper under discussion proposes a framework to evaluate ground motion selection and modification procedures and illustrates its application for two different procedures as applied to a non-degrading bilinear inelastic single-degree-of-freedom system. This discussion focuses on providing additional context that this writer feels is needed in relation to both the proposed framework and also its specific application in the paper, which are important for the conclusions made by the authors.
