Abstract
In this paper, we design and evaluate one retrofit scheme for a pre-Northridge 18-story steel moment-frame building using nonlinear time-history analyses under 3-component synthetic ground motion waveforms at 784 sites in the greater Los Angeles region from the magnitude 7.8 ShakeOut scenario San Andreas earthquake. We realize a reduction of ~23% in the collapse potential of the building. This case study is part of a broader study to construct a rigorous retrofitting framework for this class of existing buildings.
Additional Information
We are grateful to Rob Graves of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for providing us with the ground motion waveforms from the ShakeOut Scenario earthquake. This work is funded in part by USGS.Additional details
