Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Mid-Story Isolation and Reduction Structures Based Stochastic Vibration

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study focus on derivation of such fragility curves using classic mid-story isolation and reduction structures (MIRS) in China metropolis. A set of stochastic earthquake waves compatible with the response spectrum of China seismic code selected to represent the variability in ground motion. Dynamic inelastic time history analysis was used to analyze the random sample of structures. The result reveal that good effect for superstructure and reduction effect for substructure of MIRS is favorable and obvious under major earthquake, Weak position of MIRS was be pointed out and fragility curves of typical MIRS of China was obtained finally.
