Summary
The seismic performance of older infilled frame reinforced concrete structures is
influenced by the interaction of different components and mechanisms and is highly
sensitive to several modelling parameters. A probabilistic response sensitivity
analysis is performed on a case study consisting of an infilled frame structure
incorporating state-of the art models of most significant sources of nonlinear
behaviour: 1) axial-moment interaction in the frame components, 2) cracking and
crushing of infill panels, and 3) infill-frame interaction induced shear failure of
columns. Nonlinear fiber section beam column elements are assembled with
eccentric ASCE41/FEMA356 infill strut models, hysteretic shear models of captive
columns based on EC8 shear strength, and are processed through pushover-based
tornado analyses. Probabilistic sensitivity to material parameters at operation,
damage, life safety and collapse limit states indicates that modelling parameters of
infill and mass source have a key impact on the system response.
