Abstract
A technique is proposed to estimate probable maximum loss based seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings using three dimensional elasto-plastic analyses and Monte Carlo simulation. It is difficult to analyze damage of the buildings in detail to achieve a target seismic performance using usual PML estimation methods. The proposed technique enables us to analyze loss of structural and non-structural elements separately. As these analyses enable us to identify the structural or non-structural elements that the most loss are caused by, we can update structural design efficiently. PML of two example buildings are calculated to compare seismic performance of these buildings.
