Vertical Seismic Effect on the Seismic Fragility of Large-Space Underground Structures

Table 1

Division of performance levels for large-space underground structures.

Performance levelsDamage statesDescription of performance levels

Fully operationalNo damageStructure components do not suffer damage. Structures can be used normally.
OperationalRepairableStrength and stiffness of structure maintain the same before and after the earthquake. Structures can be ensured its function with minor repair.
Life safetyIrreparableStructure components experience serious damage and stiffness degeneration but are not collapsed.
Near collapseSevereStructure components are destroyed, and their strength and stiffness degenerate greatly. Structure nearly collapses.
