Dependence of RC high-rise buildings response on the earthquake intensity
Abstract
The relationship between the ground motion intensity measure, IM, and the engineering demand parameter, EDP, is analysed in the paper so as to identify and define the most efficient EDP-IM relationships for RC high-rise buildings. A 30-story RC high-rise building with the core wall structural system was selected as the reference building. 240 nonlinear time-history analyses were conducted for 60 ground motions on the spatial model of the building. The existing intensity measures were analyzed and the new ones – providing the most efficient relationships for RC buildings - were proposed.
