Assessment of seismic reliability of rc framed buildings using a vector-valued intensity measure

This study evaluates seismic reliability of RC framed buildings with two different lateral load resisting systems. Four example buildings with different heights and different lateral load resisting systems are analyzed through incremental dynamic analysis under two sets of ordinary and near-fault records. A vector-valued intensity measure is used for reliability evaluation. The results of case studies show that in near-fault ground motions there is a slight difference between seismic reliability of MRF and dual systems, particularly for highrise buildings. In contrast, adding shear walls improves seismic reliability of both of lowrise and high-rise buildings in ordinary ground motions.
