Estimation of the Seismic Reliability of Buildings Using Incremental Dynamic Analysis Method of the Secant Stiffness Degradation Index (Idam-Ssdi). Part Ii

Abstract eng:
Presented herein is a methodology that enables us to obtain in an efficient manner the seismic reliability of buildings for different levels of seismic intensity, taking into account the uncertainties associated with the properties of the structural system considered and with the seismic registers. This methodology is developed by means of Incremental Dynamic Analysis of the Secant Stiffness Degradation Index (IDA-SSDI), whose results enable evaluation of the intensity of system collapse in an easy and efficient manner in order to evaluate the reliability by means of Cornell’s β index and a Z safety margin. The methodology is applied to a sample of eight 10-story buildings taken from Monte Carlo’s simulation and 40 accelerograms registered in the Valley of Mexico City. The buildings simulated are modeled in the computer program DRAIN 2D for non-linear analysis.
