Seismic Retrofit of Warehouses with Masonry Infills and Glazed Curtain Walls through Hysteretic Braces: Refinement of the Italian Building Code Provisions
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2023)
摘要
A refined design procedure for the seismic retrofit of warehouses or, more generally, single-storey RC frames bounded by "drift-sensitive" masonry infills and glazed curtain walls, is proposed in this paper by means of hysteretic braces. The calculation method is based on displacement-based design (DBD) procedures in which both the as-built frame and the dissipative braces are modelled through simple linear equivalent SDOF systems arranged in parallel. In this regard, with respect to the provisions of the Italian Building Code, two refinements are introduced: (1) the definition of two performance targets tailored to the protection of glazed curtain walls (among most expensive non-structural components) and to ensure an acceptable level of damage level for masonry infills; and (2) the adoption of a more accurate formulation for the estimation of the equivalent viscous damping developed both by the main frame and the dissipative braces. The refined design method is applied to a case-study building and the achievement of the performance targets is verified through NLTH analyses.
