Seismic Collapse Safety of Reinforced Concrete Buildings: I. Assessment of Ductile Moment Frames Curt B. Haselton1, Abbie B. Liel2, Gregory G. Deierlein3, Brian S. Dean4, Jason H. Chou5 Ground motions used for the nonlinear dynamic analyses are recordings from large magnitude earthquakes (magnitude 6.5 to 7.6) recorded at moderate fault rupture distances (10 to 45 km). The 39 ground motion record pairs (each with two orthogonal horizontal components) and their selection criteria are documented in Haselton and Deierlein (2007). This ground motion set is an expanded version of the far-field ground motion set utilized in the FEMA P-695 (FEMA 2009). Ground motion records are selected and scaled without considering the distinctive spectral shape of rare (extreme) ground motions, due to difficulties in selecting and scaling a different set of records for a large set of buildings having a wide range of first-mode periods. To account for the important impact of spectral shape on collapse assessment, shown by Baker and Cornell (2006), the collapse predictions made using the general set of ground motions are modified using a method proposed by Haselton et al. (2009). The expected spectral shape of rare (large) California ground motions is accounted for through a statistical parameter referred to as epsilon (ε), which is a measure of the difference between the spectral acceleration of a recorded ground motion and the median value predicted by ground motion prediction equation. A target value of ε=1.5 is used to approximately represent the expected spectral shape of severe ground motions that can lead to collapse of code-conforming buildings (Appendix B of FEMA P-695 2009; Haselton et al. 2010).
