Building Models for City-Scale Nonlinear Time-History Analyses
This chapter proposes nonlinear multiple degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for city-scale nonlinear time-history analyses in an attempt to predict seismic damage to buildings in large urban areas. The computational models and the corresponding parameter determination methods are developed for multi-story masonry buildings, reinforced concrete and steel frames and tall buildings. The parameter uncertainties of the MDOF models and their impacts on the simulation results are also discussed. A numerical coupling scheme for city-scale nonlinear time-history analyses considering the interaction of densely distributed buildings in a city and the site (i.e., site-city interaction, or SCI for short) is also proposed. Finally, to take full consideration of the diversity of the structural types, available data, and simulation scenarios in a real application of the seismic-damage simulation to urban buildings, a multiple level-of-detail (LOD) simulation framework is established.
