Abstract

We assess the seismic performance of a hospital building designed following current Spanish codes. The assessment is done with a state-of-the-art probabilistic framework which provides a consistent account for the uncertainties in the evaluation process. A prototype of a health facility serves as a basis to discuss a realistic estimate of the implications of occasional and rare ground motion in essential facilities. To this end, this study comprises nonlinear time history analyses of the building structure, the identification of structural and non-structural performance groups, the probabilistic expression of structural response, and the quantification of damage and repair costs by means of fragility relations. This work reveals that the seismic performance of the analysed facility is inappropriate in terms of damage, loss of functionality and repair costs.
