The seismic assessment of existing buildings is an essential issue of seismic engineering. This work is focused on the evaluation of the seismic per-formance of existing RC buildings according to the current European Technical Codes. Alternative types of analyses, all consistent to the Code provisions, have been performed with reference to a case-study, that is a real, RC hospital building. An accurate knowledge of the building has been achieved, as a result of a collabo-ration between the University of Florence and the Regional Government. Both elastic and inelastic modeling, as well as static and dynamic one, have been adopt-ed in the analysis. The global response - with special attention to torsional effects - and the seismic performance of each single member have been found with all the performed analyses. The comparison among the analyses have been performed in terms of both global and local response parameters, and the reliability of each analysis has been pointed out.

Abstract
The seismic assessment of existing buildings is an essential issue of seismic engineering. This work is focused on the evaluation of the seismic per-formance of existing RC buildings according to the current European Technical Codes. Alternative types of analyses, all consistent to the Code provisions, have been performed with reference to a case-study, that is a real, RC hospital building. An accurate knowledge of the building has been achieved, as a result of a collabo-ration between the University of Florence and the Regional Government. Both elastic and inelastic modeling, as well as static and dynamic one, have been adopt-ed in the analysis. The global response - with special attention to torsional effects - and the seismic performance of each single member have been found with all the performed analyses. The comparison among the analyses have been performed in terms of both global and local response parameters, and the reliability of each analysis has been pointed out.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
