| Summary: | (2% probability of exceedance in 50 years) according An approach for evaluating reinforced concrete crographics. analyses and structural fragility curves. Three Buildings & Other Structures (BSSC 1997), structural capacities. Three different hazard levels representing conditional probability of exceedance of the three considered. Monte Carlo simulation technique was used curves developed in this study correlate the curves for the three limit states. The fragility design criteria according to the proposed 1997 NEHRP different records of measured time histories, from establishing design criteria for new buildings, for evaluating the extent of damage incurred by a building exceedance in 50 years) and maximum considered event hazard levels, non-linear time history dynamic immediate occupancy, life safety, and collapse in 50 years), design basis event (10% probability of involved in estimating the structural limit state limit states, pushover analyses, various seismic methodology was developed. The method integrates the nature of earthquakes was simulated by using 25 performance levels (or limit states) consisting of performance of various structural systems. prevention according to FEMA-273 (ATC 1997a) were previous seismic events and scaled to various response Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulation for New spectra intensities (hazard levels). Inter-story was standard frequent event (50% probability of exceedance Structural fragility curves can be used for structural frame systems subjected to seismic forces structural performance in form of structural fragility structural performance limit states (BSSC 1997) to the the FEMA-273 (ATC 1997a) and FEMA-274 (ATC l997b). three different seismic hazard levels prescribed by to FEMA-273 (ATC 1997a) were used. The probabilistic to model the variability of strength and stiffness under seismic demands and for comparing the under the framework of performance-based design used as an indicative parameter for evaluating |
