Seismic loss assessment of seismically isolated buildings designed by the procedures of ASCE/SEI 7-16

Abstract This paper investigates the seismic loss assessment of seismically isolated and non-isolated buildings with steel moment or braced frames, designed by design standard ASCE/SEI 7-16. The is calculated from damage to structural non-structural components, as well demolition collapse buildings. study demonstrates that expected annual losses for are half less than those These depend on types isolation systems force resisting used. Among cases studied in this paper, most cost-effective found be minimum strength requirement 7-16 isolators which have displacement capacity 1.5 times larger required 7-16, terms losses. also compares results obtained different approaches selection scaling ground motions. following research finds when Incremental Dynamic Analysis approach far-field motion set FEMA P695 used, computed total become doubled Conditional Spectra approach.
