Seismic spectral acceleration assessment of masonry in-filled reinforced concrete buildings by a coefficient-based method

摘要: This study explores a coefficient-based seismic capacity assessment method with special emphasis on low-rise masonry in-filled (MI) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings subjected to earthquake motion. The without requiring any complicated finite element analysis is simplified procedure assess the maximum spectral acceleration of buildings. paper first compares fundamental periods MI RC structures obtained, respectively, from experimental period data and empirical period-height formulas. for then calibrated by published results obtained shaking table tests. comparison estimated indicates that can provide good approximations accelerations at peak loads if proper set drift factors initial vibration are used.
