| Popis: | For any places located in zones with high seismic risk, seismic damage assessment of buildings is a crucial issue. In the past few years, much attention has been paid to the concept of performance‐based assessment due to ATC‐40. However, its tedious procedure and deficiency in precision have left room for improvement. In the present paper, a modified procedure is introduced. It is expected to improve the efficiency as well as accuracy of the assessment. The main idea of the modification is to treat the performance points on the structural capacity curve as input, and subsequently determine the corresponding seismic demands of RC structures. The proposed approach is also capable of finding the correlations between peak ground acceleration (PGA) and various structural performances. On the other hand, it is well known that the accuracy of pushover analysis is greatly affected by the proper setting of the plastic hinges. Here, an algorithm for determining plastic hinges with respect to three well‐kno... |
