Limitations of Type II Models for Seismic Hazard
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 115, Issue 4
Abstract
The use of the Type II distribution of extremes for seismic hazard is examined using simple examples. The sensitivity of the predicted reliabilities are examined with respect to structural strength and limiting earthquake magnitude.
