IDA-Based Seismic Fragility Analysis of a Concrete-Filled Square Tubular Frame

Based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method, this paper conducts seismic fragility analysis of a CFST plane frame, a CFST spatial frame under 1D (one-dimensional) ground motions, and a CFST spatial frame under 2D (two-dimensional) ground motions, with different attacking angles. Firstly, nine-story, three-span CFST frame structures (including the plane frame and spatial frame) were modeled in OpenSees, based on the accurate simulation of the hysteresis performance of the test CFST frames. Then, twenty-five groups of ground motions were employed to analyze the seismic response. Lastly, the IDA curve clusters, probabilistic demand models, and seismic fragility curves of frame structures were researched, respectively. The analytical results showed that the exceeding probability of the spatial frame under 2D ground motions was successively greater than that under 1D ground motions, and greater than the plane frame, and the maximum difference at each performance level was up to 6% and 16%, respectively. The fragility analysis result of the spatial frame was sensitive to the attacking angle of ground motion, and the exceeding probability of the 135°, 150°, and 165° fragility curves was larger than that of the 0° (original attacking angle) fragility curve at each performance level. The research results provide a reference for seismic fragility analysis of CFST frame structures employing the IDA method.
