Vulnerability of steel moment‐resisting frames under effects of forward directivity
In near‐fault regions, forward directivity causes long‐period pulse‐like motions with high amplitude and short duration perpendicular to the fault surface. Pulse‐like motions have important roles in forming the distribution of damages over the structure height. Recent studies indicate that the number of spans influences the demand distribution over the moment frame's height. Considering the destruction of the buildings near causative fault in Bam earthquake, Iran (2003) demonstrates that most damages are concentrated in the ground floor of moment frames. Hence, in this study, forward directivity effect on vulnerability distribution of steel moment‐resisting frames with a few number of spans has been studied by nonlinear dynamic analysis of five structural models with different heights under 20 earthquake records. Related to frames height, results showed that 70% to 90% of forward directivity effects are accumulated in lower one‐third or half of model's height. Also, in near field of fault, growing rate of ductility demand at lower parts of model's height is two times higher than that of far‐fault regions. In addition, it was observed that ductility capacity in lower half of low‐rise or one‐third of high‐rise models has a key role in stability of moment frames under near‐fault pulse‐like motions.
