Due to technological developments in last decade, new methods of seismic evaluation are in use like simulation based, algorithm based, probabilistic, software based etc. These developments have enabled researchers to move from linear to non-linear methods of analysis. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is performance evaluation method where a suite of ground motions applied to structure are further scaled to particular levels of seismic intensity. Seismic fragility curves become significant in estimation of structures risk possibility from the point of view of potential earthquakes and helps in predicting the economic consequences for forthcoming earthquakes. The paper reflects IDA and seismic fragility analysis of ground storey + 7 floor (G + 7) reinforced concrete frame subjected to suite of eleven ground motions. Primary objective was to perform equivalent static and linear-dynamic analysis to meet the National and International codal requirements. Then, pushover analysis is carried out by introducing parametric auto hinges as per ASCE 41-13 tables. To carry out pushover analysis, both geometric and material non-linearity was introduced. Strong ground motions were selected as per suitable criteria of seismic intensity. IDA is then carried out as per SeismoStruct 2022 software and using IDA curves, the fragility analysis was carried out. The results of study found useful for researchers to predict the probability of damage of the structure under earthquakes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
