  • In the middle of the 1980s, the performance assessment method began to proposed in the United States [Council, Rojahn, Shapiro et al (2000); Council, Rojahn, Moehle et al (1997)], and until 2012, this approach tends to become perfect [Hamburger, Bachman, Heintz et al (2011a); Hamburger, Bachman, Heintz et al (2011b)], but is only suitable for Northern California in the USA because of specific seismic intensity scale, component vulnerability groups, population flow models and so on

  • The seismic performance assessment process of FEMA P-58 taken as a framework, combined with the characteristics of domestic building structure and specification requirements, based on the probability theory of a modified seismic capacity assessment of buildings. for an individual building, the seismic performance is evaluated by the finite element analysis model based on PERFORM 3D and seismic economic performance assessment model based on performance assessment analysis software (PACT)

Introduction

In the middle of the 1980s, the performance assessment method began to proposed in the United States [Council, Rojahn, Shapiro et al (2000); Council, Rojahn, Moehle et al (1997)], and until 2012, this approach tends to become perfect [Hamburger, Bachman, Heintz et al (2011a); Hamburger, Bachman, Heintz et al (2011b)], but is only suitable for Northern California in the USA because of specific seismic intensity scale, component vulnerability groups, population flow models and so on. A modified seismic performance evaluation method can be used to develop three types of performance assessment: intensity-based, scenario-based, and time-based assessments. Intensity-based assessment is based on the specific ground motion intensity (e.g., defined by the elastic acceleration response spectrum with 5% damped) to determine the probability distribution of building seismic performance index (casualties, repairs or reconstruction costs, residence interruption time, etc.). The two main problems can be mainly solved by: 1) the average repair cost, in present dollars, and The probability of it exceed a certain value (e.g., 1 million dollars) necessary to restore a building to its pre-earthquake condition in the seismic basic intensity; 2) the mean repair time, in hours, necessary to restore or reconstruction a building to its health state in the large earthquake
