Incremental Dynamic Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Incremental Dynamic Analysis

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a method that runs time-history analyses on a structure with a single ground motion record, progressively increasing the intensity until the structure reaches a specified performance level or collapses. Introduced by Vamvatsikos and Cornell in 2002, this approach efficiently generates fragility curves relating earthquake intensity to structural damage and collapse probability.
