A five story flat-slab structure is used as the generic system for this study. Preliminary analysis of three, five and seven story versions had indicated rather insignifi- cant differences in the inelastic dynamic analysis results. This building is considered mid-rise. The reason for choosing a mid-rise building is twofold. Because of the inherent flexibility of flat-slab buildings, it may not be possible to satisfy the drift demands in high-rise construction. On the other hand, low-rise buildings would be sufficiently stiff and may not warrant special consideration. The selected dimensions of the building Fig. 1. Illustration of a typical flat-slab structural form. Fig. 4. Typical slab—beam section of the flat-slab building (symbol 5@12 denotes five reinforcing bars with a diameter of 12 mm and @10/15 denotes tied reinforcement with a diameter of 10 mm and having a spacing of 15 cm). One of the main concerns in flat-slab construction is the control of excessive lateral drift. This concern was addressed by placing masonry infill walls, which have high in-plane stiffness. At low levels of lateral force, frame and infill wall act in a fully composite fashion. However, as the lateral force level increases, the frame attempts to deform in a flexural mode while the infill attempts to deform in a shear mode. As a result, the Fig. 5.

Acceleration-based fragility curves for the framed structure This was accomplished by converting the spectral values and then matching the converted values with the corresponding response (interstory drift) values. The spectral acceleration-based fragility curves are shown in Fig. 15. Figs. 16 and 17 show the comparison of the curves obtained for framed structures against the HH curves and the SK curves developed by Hwang and Huo [26] and Singhal and Kiremidjian [27], respect- ively. The HH curves in Fig. 16 were developed for low-rise (1-3 story) concrete frames. Four damage states were considered in terms of maximum story drift ratio, Omax: (1) no damage, when oOmax < 0.2%, (2) insignificant damage, when 0.2% < dmax < 0.5%, (3) moderate damage, when 0.5% < dmax < 1.0% and (4) heavy damage, when dmax < 1.0%.
