Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of uncertainties when studying buildings under seismic loading. These uncertainties are related to the simplifications used when constructing the model (model uncertainties) and to the numerical data needed at the computation stage (data uncertainties). It has been shown in previous papers that nonparametric models are able, in the case of linear dynamics, to deal simultaneously with these two kinds of uncertainties. The paper presents an extension of this kind of model by taking into account a “mixed” approach for concrete frame structures, which uses a nonparametric model for the part of the structure which behaves linearly and a parametric approach for the parts of the structure (plastic hinges) which behave non-linearly. A numerical application is presented in the case of a residential building.
