| Abstract | “Consequence–Based Engineering (CBE)” is an emerging field for the execution of risk
management, as it can deliver an insight into the seismic performance of civil engineering
infrastructures. Fragility analysis is one of the components of CBE and it can be employed
for pre-earthquake planning as well as for the loss estimations after the earthquake
occurrence. In this particular study, a new methodology is proposed for fragility
assessment of High-Rise structure, considering their higher mode effects. For this purpose
a case study is conducted by considering a 55 story high-rise building, located in Manila,
Philippines. Static POA and cyclic POA are conducted in the weaker direction of the
considered structure, and quantitative limit states of the structure are defined on the bases
of results obtained from static POA of first four modes. The current study considers the
variations in the materials’ strengths as well as in the seismic demand. 15 ground motions
are used and scaled at various intensity levels to generate an appropriate and adequate
range in structural response. UMRHA procedure is employed by making SDOF systems of
the actual structure for first four modes, and finally depending upon the results obtained
from UMRHA, the fragility curves are developed along with the direct sampling
probabilities corresponding to two particular limit states of the considered structure. |
