PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
Estimating the response of reinforced concrete columns to a transitory action, represented by a ground motion, is an uncertain task. The randomness of the seismic event and that of the response should be accounted for. The probabilistic seismic vulnerability analysis is a method that one can use for estimating confidence intervals for the response of reinforced columns. In this paper a mixed method using numerical analysis results coupled with experimental data is used for the assessment of the vulnerability of reinforced concrete columns.
