ABSTRACT
Seismic events can produce damage and collapse of constructions, impacting the expected life-cycle cost and out-of-service time. Past seismic events showed that socioeconomic consequences at community scale are dramatic, even with non-collapsed structures, resulting in low resilience. To improve this, understanding the probable condition along service life of current structures and new designs is crucial for prioritizing the needs for structural upgrade, and support decision making. This process must consider the effects of different damage scenarios, from light to collapse. Nevertheless, this process is costly and time consuming, making difficult its application at a large scale or in non-special designs. In this paper, a methodology for agile LCC produce by earthquake damage is applied to a case-study consisting of multi-storey moment-resisting concrete frame. Its low computational cost makes it adequate for supporting resilience decision making related to a suite of structures or the assessment of new designs.
