Utjecaj karakteristika bliskih potresa na neelastični odziv višekatnice i analiza mjerenja intenziteta (Influence of near-fault characteristics on inelastic response of multi-storey building with intensity measurement analysis)

This study is presented to achieve three objectives: (1) to compare between the inelastic responses of buildings under near and far fault excitations, (2) to investigate the effect of the pulse to structural period ratio, and (3) to evaluate a set of intensity measurements (IMs) in terms of near fault (NF) earthquakes. A real reinforced concrete building with 35 storeys is analysed in the scope of the first and second objectives, whereas the third objective involves three general-frame buildings consisting of 6, 13, and 20 storeys. Results show that the NF excitation can drive the building to exceed its life safety performance level. Furthermore, the accuracy of the IM highly depends on the vibration period of the building and the function used to calculate the IM.
