Abstract


The velocity pulse and displacement fling-step pulse signatures may be present in a near-field earthquake ground motion record. It is generally known that near-field ground motion with pulse effects accelerated the building drift. The damage of building can also occur as a result of two or three earthquakes within the building's lifespan. The repeated earthquakes could cause minor to severe damage to the building, including structural collapse. This includes earthquakes with fling-step pulse, which impact is underexamined in the existing studies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of repeated earthquakes with displacement of the fling-step pulse on the near-collapse probability of 5-, 10-, 15 and 20-story concrete frames. Based on the response modification factor R = 8, 5, and 3, the frames are classified as special, intermediate, and ordinary, respectively. The result shows that the near-collapse probability of repeated earthquakes is more likely to occur on the concrete frames which reaches intensity measure of 27.0% than the effect of single earthquakes.
