Abstract
This paper describes in the first part some strong motion
acceleration parameters in the time and in the frequency
domain. Furthermore, a classification of the ground
motions at a site according to their damage potential is
presented. The second part deals with a nonlinear analysis
of a six storey reinforced concrete plane frame and the influence
of the afforementioned acceleration parameters
on the behaviour of the structure. Damage indicators in
the form of cross sectional ductility demand are evaluated
and correlated with the strong motion characteristics.
Furthermore, the ductility demand is compared with the
cross sectional ductility supply of the frame structure. The
aim is to extract among the several here presented seismic
parameters, those which have drastic affection on the damage
indicators of the structures. The attention is focused
on earthquake acceleration time histories recorded in
Greece.
