Abstract

In critical earthquake-prone regions, many kinds of old-dated industrial facilities having structural deficiencies exist. Evaluation of seismic performance of these buildings to reach a sufficient level is quite vital. This paper scopes seismic performance assessment of an existing industrial structure. In the study, a comprehensive methodology is presented to carry out the seismic evaluation process of the buildings. The entire process is illustrated using a case study from an existing industrial precast facility. In this scope, initially, construction system, geometry, layout and material properties of the examined structure were determined through lab studies and site surveys to assess the performance level. Secondly, the current status of the structure was modeled using Midas Gen finite element software and a series of analyses were performed to reveal the seismic performance. In the analyses of seismic performance, the non-linear pushover analyses method was employed in seismic code. In the model the fiber and lumped hinges were assigned to the columns and beams, respectively. The strains occurring in the column cross-sections were calculated using the curvature values obtained from the corresponding members assigned hinges. These values were compared with the limit values which were specified in the code. It is concluded that this case study presents a practical approach for engineering applications regarding the seismic evaluation of industrial structures from the perspective of update codes.
