Vertical Seismic Effect on the Seismic Fragility of Large-Space Underground Structures
Table 1
Division of performance levels for large-space underground structures.
| Performance levels | Damage states | Description of performance levels |
| Fully operational | No damage | Structure components do not suffer damage. Structures can be used normally. | Operational | Repairable | Strength and stiffness of structure maintain the same before and after the earthquake. Structures can be ensured its function with minor repair. | Life safety | Irreparable | Structure components experience serious damage and stiffness degeneration but are not collapsed. | Near collapse | Severe | Structure components are destroyed, and their strength and stiffness degenerate greatly. Structure nearly collapses. |
