Abstract Earthquake events with magnitudes larger thaneight Richter along subduction zones have been reportedworldwide. Due to large number of load reversals and ex-cessive hysteretic energy, the effect of cumulative damageon structural components due to deterioration becomes crit-ical for buildings designed based on current seismic codes.By specifying the damage index of a structure from its realinelastic behavior, the required criterion for strengtheningwould be given. In this paper, three steel structures withdual systems consisting of intermediate moment-resistingframes and concentrically braced ones were selected and de-signed based on ASD method of UBC-97. Then, for eval-uating inelastic behavior, these structures were subjected tothree earthquake records and the nonlinear dynamic analyseswere carried out by the PERFORM 3D (VER 4.0.1) software.Next, hysteretic energy and damage measure were computedfor all members of the structures. It is observed that in spiteof uniformity of strength ratios along height and also amongresisting elements of each story, structural damages amongsuch members do not confirm this uniformity and most of thedamage of columns and beams is correlated to the externalbracing frames. Of course, some regularity in the damagedistribution has been seen in plans of buildings, so that con-centration of damage in the center of the plan is less thanthat of external frames. Thus, approaching the center of theplans, the damage imposed on the members decreases.

1 Introduction

In recent years, the general evolution of the structural de-sign criteria adopted for the modern structures and the ma-jor importance of the evaluation of the seismic behavior ofexisting under-designed buildings have extended the objec-tives in the seismic design; safety against the collapse re-mains the most important objective, while performance interms of functionality and economy is assumed to play acentral role in the design criteria [1,2]. Therefore, severalauthors have discussed the need of an improvement of the

current earthquake-resistant design methods in order not onlyto avoid the collapse for destructive earthquake, but also tolimit the seismic damage for moderate earthquakes. Mov-ing from a simple force-strength approach the new designphilosophy tends toward multi-level probabilistic structuralperformance criteria [3–5]. Also in the seismic design ofstructures, the concepts of damage and vulnerability play acentral role. It is accepted that standard design procedures,based on the concept of the force reduction factor, even ifadequate in most practical cases, do not result in structurespossessing uniform and indexes or damage indicators havebecome popular [6]. Modern codes for seismic design implylarge values of the seismic force reduction factor relying onthe design and detailing strategy, which allows a substantialdissipation of hysteretic energy supplied by spreading theductility demands in large parts of the structure [7].

For more than a decade now, performance-based seismicdesign (PBSD) has been at the forefront of earthquake engi-neering research. One of the prime aspects of PBSD is therealistic characterization of seismic structural damage and itsdirect incorporation in the design or performance evaluationmethodology. In addition, a major emphasis is also placedon the consideration of all the uncertainties in the designand evaluation of structures. The various modes of charac-terizing the potential seismic damage lead to various PBSDapproaches [8].

The present study focuses on the evaluation of the damagedistribution pattern in all parts of dual steel buildings accord-ing to Park–Ang damage index, designed in accordance withUBC-97 [9]. To obtain parameters of damage indexes, non-linear dynamic analyses have been carried out using PER-FORM 3D Software. The PERFORM 3D is a complete andpowerful program to perform nonlinear dynamic analysesthrough which many nonlinear parameters could be achieved.Therefore, this program had been used for nonlinear dynamicmodeling.

2 Damage Indexes for Structures

Some parameters of the building response have been pro-posed as indexes of structural damage. They are shortly called

damage indexes. Each damage index uses specific damageparameters and the parameters used to categorize the dam-age index. Damage indexes are usually normalized so thattheir value is equal to zero when there is no damage and isequal to unity when total collapse or failure occurs. On theother hand, a damage parameter is a quantity that is used forestimating the damage. A damage index can involve a com-bination of one or more damage variables in its calculation.As a result, to calculate damage indexes, damage parametersshould also be normalized [10].

The earliest damage indexes were mostly based on dis-placement or rotational ductility only. For example, Banonet al. [11] used the rotational ductility (μθ) at the end of astructural member as its damage index:

μθ = θm

θy= 1 + θm − θy

θy(1)

where θm is the maximum rotation (including both elasticand plastic rotations) under an earthquake and θy is the yieldrotation, considering the member’s anti-symmetric doublecurvature bending with the point of contra flexure in its mid-span. Such ductility-based damage indexes fail to take intoaccount the effects of repeated cycles including the strengthand stiffness degradations under low-cycle fatigue. The “flex-ural damage ratio” [11] and the “modified flexural damageratio” [12] are two other damage indexes also suffer fromthese shortcomings. One of the earliest cumulative damageparameters was the “normalized cumulative rotation” [11],which is defined as the ratio of the sum of all plastic ro-tations (except for unloading parts) in inelastic springs tothe yield rotation. Several other researchers [13–15] also de-fined similar displacement-/rotation-based cumulative dam-age indexes, while some others [16,17] followed a low-cyclefatigue-based approach to define damage indexes in terms ofthe number of cycles to failure.

Among the many damage indicators available, the Park–Ang damage index appears to be the most promising due to itssimplicity and extensive calibration against experimentallyobserved seismic damage in reinforced concrete structures,although it is less reliable in the case of steel structures [18,19]. The relation between Park and Ang damage index anddamage state is shown in Table 1 [18]. In this method, thedamage index, DPA,I, consists of a linear combination of the

Minor Minor cracks; partial crushing of concrete in columns 0.1–0.25 Minor damage

Severe Extensive crashing of concrete; disclosure of buckled reinforcement 0.4–1.0 Beyond repair

where Umax = is the maximum response deformation, Uu =the ultimate deformation under monotonic loading,

∑dE =

The global damage index is a weighted average of thelocal damage indexes and the dissipated energy is chosen asthe weighting function. The global damage index is given bythe following relation:

DIG =∑n

i=1 DIL Ei∑ni=1 Ei

(3)

where DIG is the global damage index, DIL is the local dam-age index after Park–Ang, Ei is the energy dissipated at lo-cation I and n is the number of locations at which the localdamage is computed.

Values of β about 0.15, derived by fitting test results [20],were used in the literature for reinforced concrete structures[21], while in the case of steel structures a value ofβ = 0.025,which is used in the present study, can be adopted [22]. Acomparison of the effectiveness of different damage indexescan be found in many research publications [20,23–26].

3 PERFORM 3D Performance

The PERFORM 3D software [27] has been used for numer-ical modeling and analyzing of the structures. In a detailedfinite element model, each beam or column member is di-vided into a number of elements along its length as shown inFig. 1, schematically.

There are many different finite elements that might beused. In general, they can be of low or high order and can

Fig. 1 Detailed finite element model [27]

Fig. 2 Finite element model with hinges [27]

be based on moment–curvature or fiber stress–strain relation-ships. PERFORM 3D software provides two components thatcan be used for this type of model, namely curvature hingesand fiber segments. Figure 2 shows a finite element modelusing curvature hinges. The current version of PERFORMimposes a limit of all components in a beam or column com-pound component.

Each material and each basic structural member have oneor more actions or forces and corresponding deformations.For example, for a simple material the action is stress and thedeformation is strain, and for a simple plastic hinge the actionis bending moment and the deformation is hinge rotation.The relationship between these two parameters is the F–Drelationship.

Most of the inelastic members in PERFORM 3D softwarehave the same form of the F–D relationship. This is a trilinearrelationship with optional strength loss, as shown in Fig. 3.

Also, for many members an elastic–perfectly plastic rela-tionship, rather than a trilinear relationship, may be adequate.In this case, the Y and U points are the same.

Some members may continue to strain hardening withoutreaching an ultimate load. PERFORM 3D software allowsthis for some members, by an additional parallel stiffness asshown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 5 Strength loss

In a structural member, “brittle” strength loss can becaused by a number of effects, including tensile fracture, con-crete crushing, concrete shear failure, and buckling. When a

Fig. 6 FEMA356 action–deformation relationship

component loses strength, if possible the lost strength is re-distributed to adjacent members and the resulting behaviorcan be complex.

Usually it is not permissible to deform an inelastic memberbeyond the L point. It means that the deformation capacity isusually smaller than the L point deformation. For example,the FEMA 356 criteria generally allow deformation beyondthe L point only for certain secondary members at the collapseprevention performance level. Figure 5 shows the action–deformation relationships for FEMA 356 (Q–� relationship)and PERFORM 3D (F–D relationship).

In the FEMA 356 relationship, there is sudden strengthloss at Point C and total strength loss at Point E. In the PER-FORM relationship, strength loss begins at Point L and canbe sudden or gradual. It is likely that strength loss in an actualstructure will be gradual, and hence sudden strength loss isnot realistic. Also in the FEMA 356 relationship, there is to-

P-� and large dis-placement effects can cause nonlinear behavior in elementsand hence in the whole structure. This is usually referred toas “geometric” nonlinearity. PERFORM-3D gives options toinclude or ignore geometric nonlinearity. Nonlinear parame-ters in this model are recommended by FEMA356. They areshown in Fig. 6 and Table 2.

4 Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Structures

The steel structures with dual system consisting of intermedi-ate moment-resisting frames and concentrically braced oneshave been designed according to the requirements of the ASDmethod of the UBC-97. All of the structures are symmetrical.The cross sections of the beams and columns are general I-shape sections and the box sections are used for the bracings.In this paper, sections have been optimized and have stressratios between 0.95 and 1. So the impact of the earthquakehas been seen on the optimized sections with almost 1 stressratio.

Plans and geometry of the buildings are shown in Fig. 7.All of the plans in all buildings are similar and the bay widthis 4 m and the story height is 3.2 m, which is common inresidential buildings. Some structural design properties areshown in Table 3. All buildings have been designed consid-ering a response reduction factor R of 7, corresponding tothe dual system consisting of intermediate moment-resistingframe and concentrically braced frames. The buildings havebeen classified as “importance class III” structures accordingto the requirements of UBC-97 code, with subsoil of type Cand regional seismicity of category 1. In addition to the deadweight and the seismic loading, snow loads and live loadshave been taken into account, as well as lateral loads due tocolumn sway. In this paper, the steel type St-37 was used forall structural members.

After designing and detailing the steel structures, nonlin-ear dynamic analyses were carried out for evaluating struc-tural seismic responses. In this way, the hysteretic behavior ofthe beams, columns and braces has been specified. This hys-teretic model incorporates stiffness degradation, strength de-terioration and non-symmetric response.

behavior of steel elements is determined by trilinear skeletoncurve. Degrading parameters have been chosen from exper-imental results of cyclic force–deformation characteristicsof typical components of the studied structures [27]. Thus,the nominal parameter for stiffness degradation and strengthdeterioration has been chosen.

The acceleration records, selected for site class C and theirscaled response spectra, of all seismic excitations given inTable 4, were used as input data for the nonlinear dynamicanalyses. Earthquake records include three pairs of horizon-

tal components of far-fault records from major earthquakeevents. Scaling of the original seismic acceleration records,which modifies the nonlinear and the damage effects, hasbeen carried out in accordance with UBC-97. For each pairof horizontal ground motion components, the square root ofthe sum of the squares (SRSS) of the 5 % damped spectrum ofthe normalized horizontal components has been constructed.The motions have been scaled such that the average SRSSspectrum does not fall below 1.4 times the 5 % damped de-sign spectrum for periods from 0.2 to 1.5 T where T is the

5 Evaluation of the Results of Nonlinear DynamicAnalysis in Plan

Usually perpetual structural damage is seen in the end of anearthquake. Therefore, distribution of damage in this timeis an expressive of perpetual damage in stories of the build-ing. In this research, the structures have been subjected totwo scaled horizontal components of acceleration records,simultaneously. Average damage of the three earthquakes inthe members of 3-, 5- and 8-story buildings has been com-puted and is shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11, respectively.

In these figures, only the damaged members have beendefined. It means that damage indexes have been computedand shown for members that have experienced inelastic de-formations. Also, the braced spans have been highlighted in

the figures. The Park–Ang damage index has been used forevaluation of dual steel elements and all the buildings havebeen designed in accordance with UBC-97. Dynamic non-linear analyses have been carried out by PERFORM 3D forobtaining the parameters of damage indexes. Because of thelarge number of analyses with large stiffness matrixes, e.g.,388 nodes and 1,024 elements for the 8-story building, an-alyzing and evaluating the damage distribution in all partsof the buildings are very time consuming and difficult. Inthe Figs. 9, 10 and 11: DIBR, damage index of brace; DIC,damage index of column; DIB, damage index of beam.

According to the Fig. 12, maximum damage is seen in theexternal braced frames. In these frames, columns that arecorrelated with brace show the higher damage, both in theform of high absorption of hysteretic energy and that of highdisplacement.

In this section, damage indexes of the buildings are evalu-ated along their heights. It seems that higher stories undergomore serious damages than lower stories. Damages alongheight of buildings are shown in Fig. 12 which is result ofaverage of Loma prieta, Northridge and San Fernando earth-

6 Variation of Damage on Braces of Surveyed Structures

In this section, damage distribution of the elements in themain x-braces and the beams adjacent to them is discussedand shown. Because of symmetric and square plans, dam-age distribution on two diagonals of the same span is similar.In present study, two horizontal components of earthquakerecords are exerted on the structural models simultaneously.It is also possible that earthquakes are imposed on the struc-tures from every direction. Therefore, in the dynamic analysiswe must impose two horizontal accelerograms in all anglesinto the structures to find the worst mode in which membershave a maximum damage. But this method is time consum-ing and almost impossible. Therefore, only two horizontal

accelerograms are imposed on the four sides of the buildings.Because of symmetric plans in all the buildings under studyof this survey, to comparison member’s damage or assess-ment of one member damage, nonlinear dynamic analyse ofstructures; subjected to the one pair of accelerograms whichimposed to one side of structures is sufficient. In compar-ing damages, the maximum damage of surveyed memberand three other symmetric members has been chosen as amaximum damage in worst mode. In this section, damagevariation in the braces of surveyed structures has been eval-uated and shown in Figs. 13 and 14. These figures have beenconcluded from the average of three earthquakes of LomaPrieta, Northridge and San Fernando.

In this section, because of the large number of plans,only three of them have been considered. In accordance withFigs. 13 and 14, some regularity in damage distribution canbe seen in plans of buildings. Damage has been reduced whilemoving on diagonals of structure members. Therefore, dam-

age concentration in the center of the plan is less than that ofexternal frames.

7 Conclusions

In this study distribution of damage among structural mem-bers of dual steel buildings was evaluated. Damage indexesin all members of dual steel buildings with various number ofstories were evaluated, performing nonlinear dynamic analy-sis by PERFORM 3D software. The results of the study canbe summarized as followings:

1. In spite of uniformity of strength ratios in height andamong resisting elements of each story, damage valuesdo not have that uniformity and do not have a specificregularity in distribution of height and plan.

2. The most damage of columns and beams are correlatedto the external bracing frames and the maximum energythat imposed to these frames is absorbed by braces, andin the second stage columns absorb the hysteretic energy.

3. In plans of buildings, quite a regular distribution of dam-age can be seen, so that damage concentration in centerof plans is less than that in external frames. The closer we

get to the center of plans, the less the damage of memberswe see.

4. In upper and lower stories, braces have the most damageamong all members. Also in all parts of buildings, beamshave a less damage than the other members.
