Estimation of Seismic Loss for Spatially Distributed Buildings

摘要: Abstract A simulation-based framework for assessing seismic risk of spatially distributed buildings is developed by taking the spatial correlation excitations into account. For each events compiled in a synthetic earthquake catalog, inelastic demand on that are approximated bilinear single-degree-of-freedom systems compared with uncertain structural capacity to evaluate damage severity. The proposed employed investigate sensitivity estimated sets degree correlated and simultaneously occurring excitations. In particular, four levels—no correlation, full partial with/without intra-event components—are considered. assignment based recently model, hypothetical mimic existing building stocks downtown Vancouver. analysis results highli...
