In this study collapse capacity spectra based on various definitions of the seismic intensity are set in contrast and evaluated. The presented collapse capacities for highly inelastic non‐deteriorating single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems, which are vulnerable to the destabilizing effect of gravity loads, are derived for a near‐fault set of ground motions with distinct pulse characteristics.
