Seismic Vulnerability Studies of A G+17 Storey Building in Abu Dhabi - Uae Using Fragility Curves

The growth of tall buildings in the united arab emirates (uae) has paved the way for a surge in interest in the country's seismic vulnerability investigation. the case study building comprises of shear walls and rc columns as its lateral force-resisting system. it is a newly constructed g+17 storey building and is about 78 meters high. the non-linear dynamic seismic analysis which is the time history modal analysis, also known as fast non-linear analysis was performed on the study building with about 45 earthquakes in 3 sets of hazard levels (2%, 5%, and 10% probability of exceedance [pe]) to generate the inter-story drift values. based on the performance-based approach given by fema 356, the fragility curves are developed by creating the probabilistic seismic design modal. the resultant fragility curves are given in terms of 3 probabilities i.e., (1) immediate occupancy, (2) life safety, and (3) collapse prevention. the whole study depends on the idea that comparative sort of structures will have a similar likelihood of a given harm state for a given seismic force.
