Modelling Seismic Damage Accumulation and Recovery in Aftershock Sequences

Proceedings of the 31st European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2021), 2021
Civil structures’ life-cycle may entail performance degradation, due to point-in-time events such as earthquakes and/or continuous aging, as well as the enforcement of maintenance and/or retrofitting policies. The current performance-based approach to the life-cycle analysis requires consistent modelling of uncertainty involved in the degradation and ...

Markovian modeling of seismic damage accumulation

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2015
SummaryAnalysis of civil structures at the scale of life‐cycle requires stochastic modeling of degradation. Phenomena causing structures to degrade are typically categorized as aging and point‐in‐time overloads. Earthquake effects are the members of the latter category this study deals with in the framework of performance‐based earthquake engineering ...

EMPIRICAL MODEL FOR THE SEISMIC DAMAGE OF CHURCHES

2020
Generally, strong seismic events cause serious damage to cultural heritage, especially churches that are characterized by a high vulnerability due to the intrinsic peculiarities of their structural systems that are not able to develop an efficient resisting mechanism.

Seismic Loss Estimation Using Visual Damage Models

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2021
AbstractThis paper presents models for visual damage, together with a methodology for seismic loss estimation based on that type of damage prediction.

Direct loss model for seismically damaged structures

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2012
SUMMARYLoss ratio, which is the ratio of the repair cost to the total replacement cost, is an effective parameter for representing structural and nonstructural damage caused by earthquakes. A probabilistic loss estimation framework is first presented that directly relates hazard to response and hence to losses.

Seismic damage assessment using linear models

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 1990
The problem of earthquake damage assessment is defined. The role of the analysis of strong motion records in damage assessment codes based on expert systems is pointed out. The behavior of some damage indices proposed in the literature is studied using numerical simulations.

Mechanistic Seismic Damage Model for Reinforced Concrete

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1985
A model for evaluating structural damage in reinforced concrete structures under earthquake ground motions is proposed. Damage is expressed as a linear function of the maximum deformation and the effect of repeated cyclic loading. Available static (monotonic) and dynamic (cyclic) test data were analyzed to evaluate the statistics of the appropriate ...

A Seismic Damage Model for Masonry Structures

1987
Masonry structures are common in seismic areas despite their generally poor performance in past earthquakes. Loss of lives and severe damage to masonry structures during earthquakes, such as the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, underscores the need for a method to assess the potential damage to masonry structures subjected to seismic ground motions.
