An Assessment of the Seismic Performance of EC8-Compliant CBFs Taking into Account the Role of Soil: A Case Study
2024
Overview
Based on criticisms raised in the past by researchers about the effectiveness of the design rules reported in the European seismic code for the design of concentrically braced frames, a new design procedure has been proposed and included in the upcoming version of Eurocode 8. The upcoming version of Eurocode 8 is in the enquiry stage. Hence, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of the design procedure reported in the code using accurate numerical models and seismic inputs. In the present paper, a four-story building with concentrically braced frames in the chevron configuration is designed according to the upcoming version of Eurocode 8. A seismic performance assessment is carried out by the means of multiple-stripe analyses performed on refined numerical models. The seismic input is defined based on one-dimensional local site response analyses. The numerical analyses prove that the use of local site response analysis to properly account for the soil-filtering effects is of paramount importance, and that the design procedure reported in the upcoming version of Eurocode 8 for chevron concentrically braced frames leads to reasonably low probabilities of exceeding the considered limit states.
