Predicting seismic response of structures to future earthquakes contains a large dose of uncertainty. This is primarilydue to inability to know exactly the characteristics of future earthquakes, and in the second simplifying assumptionsused to calculate the structural response. One of these simplifications is that current design methods used elasticcalculation, while the response of several structures under the action of an earthquake is inelastic.
