Seismic Performance Evaluation of Residential Structures in Egypt

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, analytical fragility curves for three existing structures are presented. Structures are 2-story, 6-story and 10-story residential reinforced concrete structures designed under dead ,live and seismic loads of zone 3 according to Egyptian code (2008). The design acceleration is 0.15g. The fragility curves are developed based on nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis of three dimensional structural models using SeismoStruct under twelve historic ground motions. Four performance levels are considered; fully operational, operational, life safe and near collapse.
