COMPONENT BASED SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE FOR RC BUILDINGS

A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed
for reinforced concrete frame buildings with masonry in-fill walls and reinforced
concrete frames including shear walls. The procedure uses member damage
functions, in terms of inter-story drift ratios, developed for the primary
components: columns, beams, in-fill walls and shear walls. Analytical
investigations carried out to determine the influence of a number of parameters
on the damageability of components were combined with existing experimental
data to develop component damage functions. A new approach has been
developed to combine component damage states to determine the story and
building level performance states. The procedure has been calibrated and
compared with other procedures by predicting the observed performance of
seven buildings exposed to recent earthquakes in Turkey. It was observed that the
damage experienced by most of the components of these buildings was predicted
satisfactorily, and that the observed building damage states were captured. The
procedure can be used for a reliable performance assessment as well as
performance-based design of the RC frame structures.
