Are seismic losses affected by the angle of seismic incidence?

The proposed study examines the propagation of uncertainty associated with angle seismic incidence a group ground motions, as well to that motion size, expected loss estimates reinforced concrete buildings. Six buildings infilled frame systems are studied, representative non-seismically designed structures typical southern European practice. Their monetary losses computed using performance-based earthquake engineering framework, which integrates site-specific hazard, structural response, damage building components and contents, resulting costs (repair, demolition, reconstruction). To estimate losses, an inventory non-structural elements is compiled existing cost data/functions employed. Seismic account for both probability collapse demolition result excessive residual storey drifts. Multiple stripe analysis performed this purpose numerical models capable simulating relevant limit states up collapse. Results presented in terms conditional on intensity annual determined by integrating former hazard curve site. show comparative effect size much more important when compared incidence, whose influence shown be less significant mostly concentrated variability results.
