The efficiency of vector-valued intensity measures for predicting the seismic demand in gravity dams is investigated.The Folsom gravity dam-reservoir coupled system is selected and numerically analyzed under a set of two-hundred actual ground motions.First, the well-defined scalar IMs are separately investigated, and then they are coupled to form t
