Chapter 2
Fire Following Earthquake at the Building Level
Publication: Post-Earthquake Fire Assessment of Buildings: Evaluation Framework
Abstract
The response of a building during damage following an earthquake, particularly damage owing to shaking, affects the building's performance under fire following earthquake (FFE). This chapter focuses on buildings' response to earthquakes and fire and describes performance-based design (PBD) for FFE. The dependence of a building's response to an earthquake on the characteristics of the structure is discussed; these characteristics include mass, stiffness, size, and shape. Applications of PBD, a well-established framework in earthquake engineering, are explored, particularly for assessment of the behavior of a structural system subjected to a series of ground motions to meet target design objectives. In addition, PBD aims to achieve a design that satisfies the needs of the owner/stakeholder regarding performance objectives that are set for different hazard intensities.
