Interdependence between seismic damage and masonry-infill wall topology for steel structures with a bare ground floor

With the use of a differentiated choice of seismic parameters 225 artificial accelerograms has been created. These parameters where the peak ground acceleration (PGA), the total duration of the seismic event (with TD values of 20 s, 30 s and 40 s) and the design spectra for all three Greek seismic regions (nominal PGA equal to 0.16 g, 0.24 g and 0.36 g) have been used. All the above were calculated based on the assumption of category B subsoil, as described in Eurocode 8 (CEN 2004) and the Greek Antiseismic Code (OASP 2003).
