Peak Story Drift of a Building Structure Subjected to Earthquakes

Abstract:

Many studies have demonstrated that the story drift is the critical parameter that is best correlated with damage in buildings. In this study, an approximate solution for mean value and standard deviation of peak story drift at each story of a building structure under earthquake motions was derived, based on random vibration theory. The accuracy was demonstrated by the Monte Carlo simulation solutions. Comparison of the computed results with the available simulation results indicates that the proposed solution is satisfactory. The results of numerical examples show that the period of a building structure plays a major role that affects the peak drift at each story. The peak drift at each story increases as the period of the structure increases.
