The paper evaluates the seismic performance of industrial prefabricated reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames. Industrial buildings, used for manufacturing, assembly, and storage, often feature large open spaces and can be constructed using prefabricated, steel, or composite systems. Prefabricated RC structures offer advantages like reduced construction time and cost, improved material quality, and enhanced seismic performance. The study assesses seismic performance, focusing on resilience and cost-effectiveness. A performance-based seismic assessment approach was employed to analyze structural behavior under seismic loading. The results indicate that prefabricated RC industrial structures demonstrate favorable seismic performance, offering structural reliability and economic efficiency compared to commercial construction methods. The study highlights the benefits of prefabricated RC structures, including faster assembly, reduced onsite labor, and positive environmental impacts. This approach can improve design strategies for industrial facilities.
The seismic performance of an industrial reinforced concrete (RC) facility with 4 stories was assessed employing “Response Spectrum” (RS) concept for seismic stipulation.
