“…Three damage levels are considered, namely immediate occupancy (IO), Life Safety (LS) and Near Collapse (NC) [30,4,9]. The damage state is defined in terms of inter-storey drift, on the basis of the FEMA [30] legislative provisions, which refers to the following limits: 0.0075 for IO, 0.025 for LS and 0.05 for NC.…”

“…However, if designed without any seismic criteria, even steel structures can undergo severe damages and collapses under seismic actions [4]. For this reason, recent works are focusing on developing strategies for estimating the seismic vulnerability of steel structures in residential [5,6,7] and industrial areas [8,9]. This interest is further remarked by the long-span (GL) CARTIS database, developed by Italian Civil Protection and many Italian universities [10], which collects data on industrial structures in the Italian territory with the final purpose of providing a reliable seismic risk assessment.…”

“…This typology has been recognised in many Italian areas, such as that of Spezzano Albanese, in southern Italy. The starting point is the exposure analysis conducted by using CARTIS-GL form [9]. Then, Finite Element (FE) models are constructed, considering both geometrical and material nonlinearities.…”

This work presents a numerical procedure for constructing mechanical-based fragility curves for industrial steel structures. In particular, the structures under considerations are characterised by the absence of anti-seismic details and by the presence of masonry infills. This structural typology has been identified in southern Italy and represents a widespread construction technology. The exposure information are obtained by an in-situ survey of the industrial area in the municipality of Spezzano Albanese (Italy) using the CARTIS-GL form. Fragility curves are constructed using Monte Carlo simulations and the industrial structures are modelled using mixed frame finite elements accounting for geometrical and material nonlinearities. 5041COMPDYN 2023 9 th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering M.

Recent earthquakes have highlighted the high vulnerability of the industrial structures that are not specifically designed for accounting seismic forces. Among them, a widespread typology is characterised by steel structures without bracing or other anti-seismic details and with masonry infills. With the aim of increasing the knowledge on the seismic behaviour of these structures, this work focuses on a mechanical-based approach for the evaluation of fragility curves for industrial areas. The exposure data are obtained by in-situ survey and acquiring information available in existing databases, like the Italian Cartis-GL one that is specifically devised for industrial structures. The variability of geometrical and mechanical data and the presence of epistemic uncertainties are considered by constructing a population of structures using the Monte Carlo method. Each structure is analysed through static-nonlinear simulations adopting mixed finite elements accounting for geometrical and constitutive nonlinearities. The approach is tested for infilled steel structures in the industrial area of the municipality of Spezzano Albanese (Italy). Results show that the presence of masonry infill drastically modifies the seismic behaviour of this structural typology. In particular, it turns out that if the mechanical contribution of the infill is neglected, the structures exhibit high damages even for low intensities of the seismic action.
