Abstract

To research the seismic damage characteristics, mechanism and vulnerability of multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, statistics and analysis, were made on 930 RC frame structures in Dujiangyan during Wenchuan earthquake, China. Firstly, seismic damage of RC frame structure in Dujiangyan is investigated comprehensively. According to the investigation results, easily damaged locations of this kind of structural system are: infilled wall, frame column, beam-column, joints and stairs. However, a large number of RC frame structures are basically intact or slightly damaged. By using the method of numerical statistical analysis, the non-linear relationship model and the fitting curve of seismic damage investigation samples under multiple seismic damage grades are given. Considering the number of stories, multiple ages and seismic fortification influencing factors, the empirical seismic damage situation of structures under each factor is analyzed, and the non-linear regression curve is developed. The empirical seismic vulnerability matrix and continuous regression function model and curve of RC frame structure in multi-intensity region are established. A calculation model of mean seismic damage index (MSDI) is proposed, and the vulnerability matrix and regression curve based on this parameter are given in combination with the empirical seismic damage investigation data. The above research results can provide a basic reference for vulnerability analysis and intensity scale revision of RC structures.
