Abstract

This paper presents comprehensive comparison of base-isolated and fixed reinforcement concrete frames (RCF) designed minimally compliant with ASCE 7–10. The investigation employs fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method which estimates the performance grades based on accounting for the weighting factors of each performance variable. Equivalent strength modification factors are developed to design the isolated structures. Structures that consider degradations and P-Delta effect are rationally modeled for nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) under multiple-intensity ground motions. The results show that the seismic performance of code-designed isolated structures under three scenario earthquakes is superior to that of the fixed-base structures. Moreover, the lower isolated structures perform better than the higher ones with the same period. Finally, the collapse mode of isolated structures may be of great difference from the conventional structures due to the cumulative speed of energy dissipation besides the property of the ground motion using incremental dynamic analysis (IDA).
