Description

RC buildings - 13 storeys Bucharest - Romania Sample Data. Buildings: 1 RC frame structures. 12/13 storeys. Low code$Paragraph$Seismic hazard: 1 recorded accelerogram.$Paragraph$The compressive strength of concrete and the yield strength of steel are, as a minimum, the parameters that are treated as the random variables. Following Galambos et al. (1982), a normal probability distribution for concrete strength and a lognormal distribution for steel strength is used. $Paragraph$Based on HAZUS and ATC-40 methodologies with some alternative approach (Chopra and Goel, 1999). HAZUS gives the fragility function parameters that are appropriate for each type of building. In order to calibrate the fragility function parameters which are appropriate for Bucharest building types, the Monte Carlo Simulation Technique can be used. It involves the selection of the input capacity random variables required for the pushover analyses, the pushover analyses and the simulation of the structural damage. Fragility parameters: Medians=[4.94, 9.891, 29.281, 85.328], Standard deviations=[3.395, 8.063, 22.484, 84.706] Syner-G taxonomy: FRM=MRF FRMM1=None FRMM2=RC-ASC-HY NS=13 P=IR E=IR C=RI CM=AAC D= FS= FSM= DRS=None RSM= HL=None CL=LC Taxonomy link: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC80560/lbna25883enn.pdf
