Abstract (EN): In recent years Performance-based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) techniques have been gaining significance as an alternative to existing deterministic assessment procedures. Briefly, on the basis of an extensive probabilistic framework, PBEE intends to provide information to various stakeholders in terms of monetary losses, downtime and/or casualties associated to a return period. These expected losses are the end result of three fundamental components: the hazard, the exposure and the vulnerability. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the influence of the record selection procedures on the quantification of the physical vulnerability, and consequently on the seismic loss estimations, arguably recognized within the scientific community to produce a higher level of variability in structural demands when comparing to material properties and different numerical modelling solutions. © 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers.
