Abstract

Earthquake events with magnitudes larger than eight Richter along subduction zones have been reported worldwide. Due to large number of load reversals and excessive hysteretic energy, the effect of cumulative damage on structural components due to deterioration becomes critical for buildings designed based on current seismic codes. By specifying the damage index of a structure from its real inelastic behavior, the required criterion for strengthening would be given. In this paper, three steel structures with dual systems consisting of intermediate moment-resisting frames and concentrically braced ones were selected and designed based on ASD method of UBC-97. Then, for evaluating inelastic behavior, these structures were subjected to three earthquake records and the nonlinear dynamic analyses were carried out by the PERFORM 3D (VER 4.0.1) software. Next, hysteretic energy and damage measure were computed for all members of the structures. It is observed that in spite of uniformity of strength ratios along height and also among resisting elements of each story, structural damages among such members do not confirm this uniformity and most of the damage of columns and beams is correlated to the external bracing frames. Of course, some regularity in the damage distribution has been seen in plans of buildings, so that concentration of damage in the center of the plan is less than that of external frames. Thus, approaching the center of the plans, the damage imposed on the members decreases.
