Evaluation of Ground Motion Damage Potential with Consideration of Compound Intensity Measures Using Principal Component Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis

The primary motivation of this study is to develop a compound intensity measure (IM) to evaluate ground motion damage potential based on principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). To illustrate this, this study examines the correlation among intragroup IMs and intergroup IMs, as well as the correlation between various IMs and response variables. A compound IM, which can be obtained by a linear combination of ten IMs in the log-scale, is utilized to measure the ground motion damage potential. Elastoplastic, bilinear and hysteretic models are utilized to determine peak deformation and hysteretic energy as the response variables of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems. On the basis of the SDOF systems, the overall structural damage index is obtained by a nonlinear time–history analysis for two reinforced concrete moment frame systems. It is clear that the developed compound IM shows significantly high-level correlation with structural response. The better the correlations, the more one can measure the earthquake damage potential. A single IM alone inadequately characterizes structural damage, highlighting the necessity of multiple IMs to estimate the possibility of structural damage.
