Incorporating modeling uncertainties in the assessment of seismic collapse risk of buildings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the effect of structural component strength, stiffness, deformation capacity, and cyclic deterioration on the collapse risk of reinforced-concrete moment frame buildings, including both ductile and non-ductile frames.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismic Collapse Safety of Reinforced Concrete Buildings. I: Assessment of Ductile Moment Frames

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply nonlinear dynamic analyses to assess the risk of collapse of RC SMF buildings to quantify the seismic safety implied by modern building codes, and find that on average, these buildings have an 11% probability of collapse under ground motion intensities with a 2% probability for exceedance in 50 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of ground motion duration on earthquake-induced structural collapse

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of ground motion duration on the collapse of reinforced concrete structures by conducting incremental dynamic analysis on nonlinear multiple-degree-of-freedom models of concrete frame buildings with different structural properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismic Collapse Safety of Reinforced Concrete Buildings. II: Comparative Assessment of Nonductile and Ductile Moment Frames

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the seismic collapse safety of reinforced concrete frame buildings and examined nonductile moment frames that are representative of those built before the mid-1970s in California.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aftershock collapse vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete frame structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the aftershock vulnerability of four modern ductile reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings in California by conducting incremental dynamic analysis of nonlinear MDOF analytical models.
