Seismic Fragility Analysis of Hill Buildings Sited on Slopes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The hill buildings sited on slopes has been widely constructed in mountainous regions. In order to estimate the seismic vulnerability for this type of building under the effect of potential earthquakes, the exceedance probabilities of hill buildings and normal buildings in peak ground acceleration are calculated and compared by using the incremental dynamic analysis method. The fragility curves show the layout of hill buildings has considerable influence on the seismic performance. Specifically, due to the different layout for the hill buildings, the probabilistic characteristic at the collapse prevention level is significantly different from the characteristic of fragility curves at the initial performance level.
