Abstract: | Copyright © 2022 The Authors. This paper investigates the seismic downtime of seismically isolated buildings with steel moment or braced frames designed by the procedures of ASCE/SEI 7–16. The seismic isolation systems considered in this study are comprised of triple or double friction pendulum isolation bearings with and without moat walls. The seismic downtime is calculated from the damage to structural components and non-structural components, demolition and collapse of buildings. The downtime components (repair and inspection) are defined, and mathematical expressions are provided for the computation of downtime fragility curves, expected annual downtime, and economic losses due to the expected annual downtime. The procedure is then implemented using the results of nonlinear response history analysis from previous studies by the first author. The study demonstrates that the expected annual downtime of seismically isolated buildings is less than that of the comparable non-isolated buildings regardless of the seismic isolation systems used. Among the cases of seismically isolated buildings studied in this paper, it is found that the most effective structural system to mitigate long downtime is the seismically isolated building with seismic isolators with enhanced sizes and with braced frames that are designed to be minimally compliant with the seismic design requirements of ASCE/SEI 7–16. |
