Abstract: Abstract The robust design of structures toward earthquake loads is the key for the mitigation of the structure damage against earthquake hazards. The structural engineer aims to design structures that are safe against possible future earthquakes and economic at the same time. The selection of suitable design earthquake loads for structural design is the first step to achieve this goal. The use of accurate nonlinear model describing the inelastic behavior of the structure is the second step to achieve this goal. Earthquake loads can be specified for seismic design of structures using the response spectrum method, using recorded accelerograms, or using the random vibration theory. The method of the critical excitation has been developed in the literature for specifying mathematical earthquake loads on structures.
