Abstract
To rank the pulse-like ground motions based on the damage potential to different structures, the internal relationship between the damage potential of pulse-like ground motions and engineering demand parameters (EDPs) is analyzed in this paper. First, a total of 240 pulse-like ground motions from the NGA-West2 database and 16 intensity measures (IMs) are selected. Moreover, four reinforced concrete frame structures with significantly different natural vibration periods are established for dynamic analysis. Second, the efficiency and sufficiency of the IMs of ground motion are analyzed, and the IMs that can be used to efficiently and sufficiently evaluate the EDPs are obtained. Then, based on the calculation results, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is employed to obtain a comprehensive IM for characterizing the damage potential of pulse-like ground motions for specific building structures and EDPs. Finally, the pulse-like ground motions are ranked based on the selected IM and the comprehensive IM for four structures and three EDPs. The results imply that the proposed method can be used to efficiently and sufficiently characterize the damage potential of pulse-like ground motions for building structures.
