Seismic risk assessment of an industrial steel building
The industrial building plays an important role in the operation and production. Industrial Buildings are designed for wind loads in the transverse direction as steel lattice towers are less sensitive to earthquake loads. In Recent times the collapse of transmission lines towers, under wind loading, has been increasing. Although the damages are controllable the threat under wind hazard is big concerns for designers. Similarly, the seismic analysis of Industrial Building is equally important as the response due to an earthquake may be severe than due to wind load. Recent cases of damage to Industrial Building during earthquake are during the 1994 Northridge earthquake two Industrial Building collapsed due to large ground motion, during the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake led to blackouts in the central and northern regions of Taiwan The main aim of the study provides which method is most economical method and, high bending strength, more load carrying capacity and high flexural strength by analysis of both working stress and limit state method. An investigation of the seismic response of an existing industrial steel building is presented in the following. Starting from as-built data collection, the study has been addressed to develop the complete process of seismic risk assessment, through the use of current performance-based analysis methods. This paper is focused on the main modelling aspects and results from analysis of seismic performance upon integration with site-specific hazard, the structural risk assessment, that is, a probability of failures. These buildings require large and clear areas unobstructed by the columns. The large floor area provides sufficient flexibility and facility for later change in the production layout without major building alterations. The industrial buildings are constructed with adequate headroom for the use of an overhead traveling crane. There are various international codes available for the design of steel structures. Developments are still going on, to achieve the great economy by using different methods as well as by using different codes of practice. By using this study, we can make a relation between the different parameter of codes, to achieve the above goals of a structural engineer.
