Simulated Portfolio for the Seismic Risk Assessment of Composite Structures
Publication: Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete VII
Abstract
Assessment of damage costs due to an earthquake is an important issue for the insurance industry, yet it currently lacks real damage data for realistic pricing of individual risks. Sophisticated numerical tools, which are widely used to assess structural behavior in great detail (like FEM), may be used with confidence in modeling damage and therefore, they may be suitable in seismic risk assessment for insurance purposes. To produce a virtual damage database, the “Simulated Building Portfolio”-Tool (SBP-Tool) was developed at the University of Kassel in cooperation with the Munich Re. This paper presents the first virtual portfolio for steel-concrete composite frame structures. The SBP-Tool uses beam elements for the composite columns and steel girders, and shell elements for the concrete slabs. Shear springs are automatically created to model the composite action between concrete slabs and steel beams. Rotational springs model the semi-rigid beam-column connections.
