A probabilistic seismic loss assessment of RC high-rise (RCHR) buildings designed according to Eurocode 8 and located in the Southern Euro-Mediterranean zone is presented herein. The loss assessment methodology is based on a comprehensive simulation approach which takes into account ground motion (GM) uncertainty, and the random effects in seismic demand, as well as in predicting the damage states (DSs). The methodology is implemented on three RCHR buildings of 20-story, 30-story and 40-story with a core wall structural system. The loss functions described by a cumulative lognormal probability distribution are obtained for two intensity levels for a large set of simulations (NLTHAs) based on 60 GM records with a wide range of magnitude (M), distance to source (R) and different site soil conditions (SS). The losses expressed in percent of building replacement cost for RCHR buildings are obtained. In the estimation of losses, both structural (S) and nonstructural (NS) damage for four DSs are considered. The effect of different GM characteristics (M, R and SS) on the obtained losses are investigated. Finally, the estimated performance of the RCHR buildings are checked to ensure that they fulfill limit state requirements according to Eurocode 8.

本文介绍了根据欧洲规范 8 设计且位于欧洲-地中海南部地区的 RC 高层 (RCHR) 建筑的概率地震损失评估。损失评估方法基于综合模拟方法，该方法考虑了地震动 ( GM ) 不确定性、地震需求的随机效应以及预测损坏状态 ( DS )。该方法在三座20层、30层和40层的核心墙结构体系RCHR建筑上实施。由累积对数正态概率分布描述的损失函数是根据 60 个具有广泛幅度范围的GM记录 ( M）、距源距离（R）和不同场地土壤条件（SS）。获得了以 RCHR 建筑物的建筑物重置成本百分比表示的损失。在估计损失时，考虑了四个DS 的结构性 (S) 和非结构性 (NS) 损坏。研究了不同GM特性（M、R和SS）对所获得损失的影响。最后，检查 RCHR 建筑物的估计性能，以确保它们满足欧洲规范 8 的极限状态要求。
