| description | The floor acceleration amplification (FAA) factor is one of the most critical parameters in computing the equivalent seismic force of nonstructural component (NC). To evaluate the heightwise FAA distribution profile, the recorded acceleration response of the instrumented buildings was analyzed using the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) database. The FAA demands for three groups of buildings consisting of reinforced concrete, steel, and masonry buildings were analyzed. In each group, the buildings were classified into four subgroups according to their heights. Parabolic distribution profiles were suggested that could envelop most of the FAA data, as demonstrated by the processed results. An earthquake experience-based importance factor was suggested in terms of the percentage of the enveloped records. The obtained FAAs at the roof were generally larger than those in other levels. The percentile distributions of the roof acceleration amplification (RAA) were computed. The results showed that the roof FAA was underestimated in ASCE 7-16. The magnitudes of the FAA and the RAA correlated to the fundamental period of the building, which was considered by classifying the buildings according to the period ranges. The RAA profile against the period was obtained from a regression analysis. The developed FAA profile is expected to be useful in the seismic design of NCs, and it is expected to be adopted in future code provisions. |
