Seismic Fragility Analysis of RC Industrial Frames Based Stochastic Vibration

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study focus on derivation of such fragility curves using conventional industrial frames with masonry infill wall. 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. Industrial structural seismic capability of longitudinal and transversal orientation is different. Stochastic damage scatter diagrams based different seismic intensity index are obtained. Seismic fragility of longitudinal axis (X axis) is larger than transversal axis (Y axis) of frames under major earthquake obviously.
