Abstract
It is well known that structural displacement or ductility demands of structures subjected to near-fault ground motions are generally greater than ordinary ground motions. Therefore, the effect of earthquake records in the near region on the seismic behavior of structures has been widely studied in the last decades. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is an important key parameter, which determines structural behavior. However, structural behavior depends on the distance of the structure to the fault zone, the ratio of peak ground velocity (PGV) to peak ground acceleration, the velocity pulse duration of ground motion, and the natural period of the structure. In this study, the seismic behavior of buildings with flat slab systems was investigated under near-fault ground motions. Linear time history analysis was performed for a 30-storey building designed according to TBEC-2018 using SAP 2000 finite element analysis software. Results were compared with the behavior of the building with a solid slab system. It is concluded that the ratio of PGV/PGA is very effective on the flat slab systems.
