Özet

This study presents a BIM-centred framework that integrates FEMA P-58 seismic performance assessment with component-level repair cost estimation for existing buildings. The main contribution is a unified, data-driven workflow in which a BIM model is used to extract component geometry and attributes, to map FEMA P-58 performance groups, and to export model data to Robot Structural Analysis for linear time-history analysis. Engineering demand parameters (interstory drift ratios and peak floor accelerations) obtained from the structural analyses are associated back to BIM components and evaluated with FEMA P-58 fragility/consequence functions to predict damage states and estimate repair costs. The methodology is demonstrated on a four-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame building located in İstanbul. Results highlight the feasibility of a BIM-integrated approach for accelerating component-level seismic loss estimation and indicate that the implementation can support decision makers in pre- and post-earthquake assessments.
