Metodologia de Avaliação da Vulnerabilidade Sísmica Estrutural do Ministério de Construção do Japão: Adaptação e Aplicação ao Corpo 22 do Hospital de Santa Maria

08/10/2008

Buildings located in high seismic hazard zones and demanding urgent structural rehabilitation spread all over the world. Therefore, quick assessment of reinforced concrete buildings seismic vulnerability became urgent on a large scale, establishing priorities to proceed with structural rehabilitation in order to fulfil the requirements of most recent design codes. The scope of this work is to present the Standard for Seismic Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings, developed by Japanese authorities, explaining its assumptions and theoretical bases. Also, the adjustment of that standard was also carried out to Portugal, reflecting local construction methods and detailing, taking into account EC8 concepts and the most recent release of the Portuguese National Annex. Furthermore, the applicability of such method to block #22 of the Santa Maria Hospital was tested, which had previously been evaluated using non-linear static (pushover) analysis, whose results were taken as reference.
