Deterministic and Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment of a Low-Code RC Frame Structure

Abstract

The paper presents the seismic performance assessment of a reinforced concrete frame structure representative for existing buildings in Bucharest. The assessment was performed using deterministic and probabilistic approaches, the last using Response Surface Methodology. Finally, fragility curves were obtained considering the peak ground acceleration as seismic intensity measure.
