Description

Flat-slab RC buildings with masonry infill walls-mid rise Mediterranean basin and USA Sampla Data. Buildings: schematic 5-story flat slab structure designed according to the regulations of ACI 318-99$Paragraph$Seismic hazard: 10 spectrum-compatible recorded accelerograms.$Paragraph$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%). To treat uncertainty, Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) Technique is employed.$Paragraph$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. Fragility parameters: Medians=[6.948, 34.783, 48.919, 69.909], Standard deviations=[2.487, 9.988, 14.029, 21.164] Syner-G taxonomy: FRM=FS FRMM1=None FRMM2=RC-ASC-HY NS=5 P=R E=R C=RI CM= D=D FS= FSM= DRS=None RSM= HL=None CL=HC Taxonomy link: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC80560/lbna25883enn.pdf
