Cumulative damage in a real seismic sequence recorded in Mexico City soft soils

Abstract:

A reasonable estimate of structural damage is necessary for risk analysis and seismic risk mitigation. Estimate structural damage implies that the seismic hazard of the study region must be considered most approximately and realistically, considering the useful life of the structures. This analysis would imply that all the earthquakes that a structure should withstand during its useful life are considered, even if the design standards only use a unique design spectrum. This article analyzes the structural response and the expected damage in a structure subjected to a real seismic sequence recorded for 38 years. For this, a 2D-frame was considered using a degrading model to represent its plastic behavior and seismic energy concepts to study structural damage.
