Erberik & Elnashai (2004) - CR_LFLSINF (RC FlatSlab)

Description

Name: Erberik & Elnashai (2004) - CR/LFLSINF (RC FlatSlab) | General comments: Sample Data: schematic 5-story flat slab structure designed according to the regulations of FEMA 368. The building is representing midium-rise flat-slab structures The yield strength of steel and the compressive strength of concrete have been chosen as the random variables. In particular, a lognormal distribution is assumed for the yield strength of steel (mean= 475 MPa and cov = 6%) and a normal distribution is employed for the variability of concrete strength (mean= 28 MPa and cov = 15%). Seismic hazard: 10 spectrum-compatible recorded accelerograms. Each record was scaled at 11 values of ground displacement. The developed curves were compared with those in the literature derived for moment-resisting RC frames. The study concluded that earthquake losses for flat-slab structures are in the same range as for moment-resisting frames for low limit states, and considerably different at high damage levels. This is due to the different structural response characteristics of the two structural forms.Valid for: USA
