5. Conclusions
Seismic risk assessment of RC frames is done with the help of fragility curves, hazard survival curves, plotted based on results of incremental dynamic analysis of 20 time history records on IDARC platform. The expected annual loss of each frame is calculated which is based on probabilistic financial risk assessment methodology for buildings in NZ. The performance of three frames analyzed with capacity design concepts taking into account shear capacity, flexural capacity and contribution from floor reinforcement to beams. Under varied scaling of peak ground accelerations of 20 earthquake ground motions, the associated financial risk of buildings with these three frames is compared with each other.
