Summary It is desirable that nonlinear dynamic analyses for structural fragility assessment are performed using unscaled ground motions. The widespread use of a simple analysis procedure known as Cloud Analysis, which uses records and linear regression, has been impeded by its alleged inaccuracies. This paper investigates based on Analysis adopting, the performance variable, scalar demand to capacity ratio equal unity at onset limit state. shown careful choice records, leads reasonable...
