Moreover, these structures are exposed to atmospheric corrosion deterioration due to environmental corrosive agents. Corrosion deterioration leads to section mass loss, stiffness degradation, and loss of energy dissipation capacity, among others. Thus, based on the corrosive category, old steel structures could experience considerable variations in their seismic performance. The present study examines the effect of different corrosivity categories on the seismic vulnerability of steel frames. A non-seismically designed three-storey moment-resisting frame is selected for case-study purposes and exposed to increasing corrosivity categories (C3, C4, C5, and CX) as per ISO 9223: 2012. As per ISO 9224:2012, atmospheric corrosion is assessed considering a 50-year ageing time and uniform corrosion. The seismic performance of the pristine and ageing steel frames is evaluated through Incremental Dynamic Analyses (IDAs) considering a suite of 43 ground motion records to account for the record-to-record variability. The seismic performance under different exposure categories is evaluated by monitoring local and global engineering demand parameters (EDPs), allowing the development of seismic fragility functions at components- and system-levels. date: 2024-06-24 date_type: published publisher: International Society for Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure (ISHMII) official_url: https://www.symposium.it/en/events/2024/iconrem-2024/ oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2303567 lyricists_name: Lad, Devang lyricists_id: DLADX31 actors_name: Lad, Devang actors_id: DLADX31 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper series: International Conference on Resilience, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring (ICONREM) volume: 3 place_of_pub: Turin, Italy event_title: 3rd International Conference on Resilience, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring (ICONREM 2024) event_location: Turin event_dates: 24 Jun 2024 - 27 Jun 2024 book_title: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Resilience, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring (ICONREM 2024) citation: Lad, Devang; Freddi, Fabio; Ghosh, Jayadipta; (2024) Influence of atmospheric corrosivity on the seismic fragility of low-code steel frame structures.
