1st Croatian Conference on Earthquake Engineering 1CroCEE 2021

The abstract In the past thirty years, significant efforts have been made toward establishment of uniform criteria for empirical performance evaluation based on earthquake damage classification and seismic evaluation of buildings. Developed empirical performance criteria have been used in many countries for estimation of physical, functional and economic losses, planning for reconstruction of earthquake stricken regions, or simulation of expected earthquake losses for different level earthquake hazard scenarios, disaster preparedness planning and planning for seismic risk reduction.
Recently, quantified performance evaluation based on inelastic response analysis of structural systems and dominant nonstructural components has been used. Implementing damage control criteria, seismic hazard parameters in seismic microzoning for urban development planning and design of buildings have been developed for the Planning Scale-, the Maximum Considered- and the Frequent Scale- Earthquake scenario.
For the considered earthquake scenarios, modification of vibrational characteristics such as dominant ground vibration periods, peak ground acceleration, spectral acceleration and relative velocity have been analysed for the selected urban area and the specific local soil conditions, considering low, medium and high rise buildings. Mapping of earthquake hazard parameters based on damage control criteria is presented and recommended for implementation in urban development planning.
