Seismic Performance Assessment of a Multistorey Building Designed with an Alternative Capacity Design Approach

Table 3

Time-based loss assessment analyses results referred to 50 years. Difference is obtained as subtraction between the single-q approach value and variable-q approach value.

Performance measure	Single-q approach	Variable-q approach	Difference (percentage)
Number of fatalities	30	17	+13.0 (+43.3%)
Number of injured people	12	7	+5.0 (+41.7%)
Total repair cost (million $)	3.637	3.188	+0.449 (+12.3%)
Total repair time (days)	268	239	+29.0 (+10.8%)
