Evaluation of Seismic Code Provisions Using Strong-Motion Building Records from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake
Studied in this report is the earthquake response of eight instrumented buildings of the CSMIP database. These buildings were selected from the 57 CSMIP instrumented building structures that experienced and recorded strong motions during Northridge. Intentionally, they cover a wide variety of structural types including reinforced concrete frame and shear wall structures, steel braced-frames and moment resisting structures, mixed steel-concrete structural types, and steel shear walls. The general purpose of this investigation is to study the earthquake performance of these eight buildings using their recorded motions during Northridge. More specifically, the investigation is separated into two clearly distinctive parts, a phase that involves interpretation of the recorded motions in buildings without introducing any strong modeling assumption, and a second phase which involves a comparison between the analytically predicted response in the building and the actual recorded response. Important objectives behind this study are: (1) to evaluate the existing uncertainty that results from using current code recommended analysis techniques and, (2) to propose improved building analysis procedures that are calibrated using recorded responses.
