Abstract
AbstractSeismic events in recent years have underlined the need to quickly classify the built heritage in terms of seismic performances. The capacity of a structure can be assessed by means of inelastic analyses, requiring sophisticated numerical procedures. The simplified method herein proposed only requires use of common analyses such as the elastic structural analysis and the rigid‐plastic analysis. For this reason, it lends itself well to be used in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake, not requiring any static or dynamic non‐linear analyses. The proposed methodology has been set up by means of a large parametric analysis, carried out on 420 frames designed according to 3 different approaches: the first one is the Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control (TPMC), ensuring the design of structures showing global collapse mechanism (GMRFs), the second one is based on the Eurocode 8 design requirements (SMRFs) while the third is a non‐seismic design, based on design for vertical loads (OMRFs).
