An Idea of a Comprehensive Incremental Analysis Method Considering Multiple Intensity Measures and Failure Modes in Seismic Isolated Structures

Incremental dynamic analysis(IDA) is an emerging and accurate method to analysis the failure probability of a structure based on probabilities. Many researches has been done for using this method to the structures, especially the isolated structures. However, ordinary IDA method only considered single intensity measures(IMs) or single failure models of structure, limited researches have been done for IDA considering both multiple IMs and failure modes. This article mainly reviewed some of the important applications of IDA method in isolated structures, especially those IDA method considering multiple factors. Thus the ideas of a new comprehensive IDA(CIDA) method could be put forward, this CIDA method will considered multiple IMs and failure modes. The new CIDA method would be presented as a potential graph in 3D and more investigations can be done in the future, as this article focuses on the literature review part.
