Performance-based earthquake engineering: Seismic and structural assessments of an existing building in Prishtina
Session
Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment
Description
The earthquake disaster that has struck the world in the last 20 years have shown that, despite buildings that are planned according to traditional principles of earthquake-resistant design, major damage can still occur. This points out the limitations of current codes, which fail to ensure the minimum performance of structures during earthquakes. The buildings expected behavior during a design earthquake is assessed using performance-based earthquake engineering, or PBEE. Performance-based earthquake engineering offers a mechanism for testing a building seismic performance, assuring life safety and reducing financial losses, in contrast to the force-based method. This paper is divided into 4 parts.1. The theoretical part; 2. Structural In-situ Investigation; 3. Determination of dynamic, applying the Ambient Vibration Test and 4. Seismic analysis for earthquake resistance according to EN 1998 -1, 1998-3. Analytical model is developed in SOFISTIK based on laboratory examinations, and Pushover analysis is used to evaluate the building performance.
