SEISMIC RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF HARDENING STRUCTURES EQUIPPED WITH DOUBLE SLIDING DEVICES

This study deals with seismic reliability-based design (SRBD) relationships in terms of behavior factors and displacement demands for softening structures equipped with double friction pendulum system (DFPS) bearings. An equivalent 3dof system having a softening post-yield slope is adopted to describe the superstructure behavior, whereas velocity-dependent laws are assumed to model the responses of the two surfaces of the DFPS. The yielding characteristics of the superstructures are defined for increasing behavior factors in compliance with the seismic hazard of L’Aquila site (Italy) and with NTC18 assuming a lifetime of 50 years. Considering several natural seismic records and building properties under the hypothesis of modelling the friction coefficients of the two surfaces of the DFPS as random variables, incremental dynamic analyses are performed to evaluate the seismic fragility and the seismic reliability of these systems. Finally, seismic reliability is assessed and seismic reliabilitybased design (SRBD) curves for the two surfaces of the double sliding devices are described.
