Abstract:To evaluate the seismic performance of masonry structures based on Building Information Modeling (BIM), we (1) analyzed the requirements for seismic performance improvement of masonry structures from four aspects, (2) calculated the seismic capacity with the strength and ductility of such a building structure, and (3) constructed an evaluation index system of seismic performance for masonry structures. On this basis, a fuzzy judgment matrix of the seismic performance indexes of masonry structures was quantitatively calculated using triangular fuzzy numbers, and the single-level sequence of seismic performance indexes was analyzed by calculating the fuzzy comprehensive value of seismic performance. Combined with calculation of the index weight coefficient and the single-item score of the seismic performance evaluation system, a BIM-based seismic performance evaluation of masonry structures was ultimately realized. Combined with analysis of a simulated project, the seismic performance of a masonry structure was tested with the collapse probability of the structure, while the accuracy of the proposed method was tested by the fitting degree of evaluated results and actual results. The results showed that the proposed method not only has good seismic performance, it can also accurately obtain the seismic performance evaluation results of masonry structures.
