โœฆ Synopsis

A preliminary procedure to assess rapidly the likely seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete buildings is presented. In this procedure, a Capacity Index is computed considering the orientation, size and material properties of the components comprising the lateral load resisting structural system. This index is then modified by several coefficients that reflect the quality of workmanship and materials, and architectural features. The procedure has been tested and calibrated based on the data compiled from damage surveys conducted after the earthquakes that occurred within the last decade in Turkey. The method classifies the buildings either as safe, meaning the building might suffer no severe damage or as unsafe, indicating that life safety performance level would not be met.

A methodology for assessing the seismic capacity of existing frames in terms of energy is proposed. It estimates the global amount of input energy-in form of a factor AE IU -and hysteretic energy that the overall structure can dissipate until collapse under earthquake-type loadings. The method requi
