Description

RC buildings - low rise - no seismic design provisions - low a/v Central-Northern Europe and USA Sample Data. Buildings: 3 storeys ordinary moment resisting reinforced concrete frame$Paragraph$Seismic hazard: recorded (three sets of ground motions) and artificial accelerograms (six set of ground motions). $Paragraph$The effects of aleatory uncertainties from material (normal distribution of concrete and steel strength) and ground motion on the vulnerability curves are investigated. The effect of randomness in material response parameters is far less significant than the effect of strong-motion characteristics.The verification of the analysis model and environmental is taking into account through comparison with shaking table experiments.$Paragraph$One curve for each set of ground motions used is shown in order to demonstrate the difference in fragility due to the strong motion characteristics. Fragility parameters: Medians=[0.05, 0.1, 0.17], Standard deviations=[0.02, 0.05, 0.1] Syner-G taxonomy: FRM=MRF FRMM1=None FRMM2=RC-ASC-LY NS=3 P=R E=R C=B CM= D=ND FS= FSM= DRS=None RSM= HL=None CL=NC Taxonomy link: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC80560/lbna25883enn.pdf
