Abstract: Extreme event performance evaluation using real-time hysteresis monitoring. A structure is monitored using one or more sensors. One or more inter-story Hysteresis Loops for the structure are generated in real-time using data from the sensors, thus enabling rapid decision making regarding the structure's condition.
