The approach has been widely used for developing hazard maps and zone maps considering Peak ground acceleration (PGA) as the intensity measure (IM). Conversely in India, earthquake intensity, which is crucial for measuring seismic events without instruments, has been the primary input for seismic zone maps in the past without including probabilistic rigor. PSHA-based zonation using PGA often overlooks spatial damage distribution, while MMI-based zonation without probabilistic approaches fails to account for seismic variability, source characteristics, and site effects. To address these limitations, this study introduces an intensity-based PSHA framework for the Indian subcontinent. Leveraging historical and contemporary intensity data, it enhances hazard assessments by accounting for past damage distribution and spatial variations in the built environment, producing hazard maps that align more closely with observed seismic impacts. A region-specific Intensity Prediction Model (IPM) for Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) is first developed using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained on a comprehensive intensity dataset. The Indian subcontinent is classified into four tectonic domains while developing IPM: (i) Himalayan Active Crustal Region, (ii) Indo-Gangetic Basin, (iii) Stable Continental or Indian Shield Region, and (iv) Indo-Myanmar and Andaman-Nicobar Subduction region. Utilizing this IPM, hazard assessment is conducted employing a logic-tree approach to address epistemic uncertainties, generating MMI-based hazard curves and maps. Intensity-based seismic zone maps are created using the natural break algorithm. A comparative analysis evaluates the effectiveness of MMI-based seismic zoning versus traditional PGA-based methods, demonstrating its potential for more accurate hazard characterization in India’s diverse tectonic settings. The findings suggest that rather than considering PGA- and MMI-based PSHA approaches as competing methods, a rational integration of both can lead to an improved seismic hazard characterization. PGA-based maps remain essential for engineering design and structural performance assessment, whereas MMI-based maps provide critical insights into spatial damage patterns, particularly in regions where historical intensity records are available. By leveraging the strengths of both approaches, a more holistic and reliable seismic zonation map can be developed to better account for regional tectonic variability and real-world earthquake impacts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9364,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering","volume":"23 8","pages":"3057 - 3084"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model is a prototype of traditional self-built houses still prevalent in Chinese rural areas, which pose a significant risk of damage during earthquakes due to the structural weaknesses of the first and second floors. Despite its vulnerability, many residents continue to construct such houses due to their comfort and convenience. By subjecting the structure to seven seismic records, we analyze the seismic responses of the first floor frame structure, first floor shear wall structure, first floor seismic isolation structure, and second floor seismic isolation structure. A comparative assessment of the seismic performance of these four structures under earthquake conditions is conducted. The study indicates that after an earthquake, the primary damage to the building structure occurs in the first floor and the top node. The first floor shear wall structure reduces seismic actions to some extent. The seismic isolation story effectively prolongs the structural period and prevents resonance with the site’s predominant period. When first floor seismic isolation structure is adopted, the acceleration, inter-story shear, inter-story drift and base shear response of the structure are reduced to 19.9%, 20.2%, 30.9%, and 26.0% of the first floor frame structure, and the effect is very significant. Second floor seismic isolation structure is more effective than first floor shear wall structure, and first floor seismic isolation structure surpasses both second floor seismic isolation structure and first floor shear wall structure.

However, little research has been conducted to investigate the retrofitted MRFs’ post-repair performance and the cost-performance of intervention. This research conducted a numerical parametric study to assess the cost-effectiveness of the retrofitting approach and shed light on the seismic performance of the retrofitted frames. To this end, three steel MRFs (i.e., three-, six-, and nine-floor height implicitly representing low- to mid-rise buildings) were considered, and pinned constraints were applied to the end of frames columns to induce the soft-story mechanism. Through coupling a base-rocking wall to the examined MRFs, thirteen different retrofitted scenarios were created considering different height and stiffness for the wall. Risk and performance assessment and seismic fragility analysis of the retrofitted scenarios were conducted by performing pushover and incremental dynamic analysis. The cost of retrofitting was estimated for each scenario, and a performance index was introduced to evaluate the efficiency of retrofitting intervention and, after that, to conduct a cost-performance analysis. The results showed that the retrofitting approach considerably decreases residual drift, especially in low-rise buildings. The best performance was achieved in low-rise buildings, and the retrofitting efficiency decreased by increasing the building’s height. Increasing the attached wall’s height has a stronger effect on reducing the retrofitted scenarios’ collapse probability. Besides, increasing the height of the attached wall has a more pronounced effect than stiffness in improving the safety and inter-story drift uniformity of retrofitted scenarios. In terms of performance, for low-rise buildings, employing a less stiff wall leads to a better result, although for mid-rise buildings, scenarios with longer and stiffer wall greatly outperform others.
