ROM/76/026 - Building Construction in Ehrthquake Areas

TERMINAL REPORT

I.

Background

1. earthquakes have affected extensive regions of the country during this century, (1940 and 1977) and it is expected that the seismogenetic processes known to be under way will continue to generate frequent earthquakes over the next decades.

Romania is a country affected by high seismicity. Two destructive

Official Arrangements

The project document was signed on 5 April 1979 by the Government and 2. 10 April by UNDP and Unesco. UNDP input of US $l5O,OOO, of which US $8,600 was for consultant services, US $27,600 for training and US $113,000 for equipment. Government contribution was foreseen as 85,000,000 lei (equivalent of US $7 million). The project was subsequently extended until 31 December 1983 and the UNDP contribution increased to US $151,055 (Revision H).

It foresaw two years of project activity, with a total

11. OBJETIVES

Immediate Ob ;i ect ives

3. The immediate objectives of the Project were:

- to assist in the development of earthquake building research and technologies by conducting experimental and numerical analysis of new solutions for structural systems;

- to improve standards and codes related to aseismic design by means of:

(a) furnishing the Central Institute for Building Research, Design and Guidance with modern specialized equipment (Automatic Data Acquisition System);

(b) training national earthquake engineering specialists.

Long-term Development Objectives

4. the National Plan for Earthquake Hazard Mitigation by developing earthquake building research and new earthquake construction technologies, as well as efficient solutions for aseismic structural systems. These would provide effective protection for man, institutions and properties from social dislocation and economic and ecological disruption associated with potential or realised earthquake hazard.,

The long-term objectives of this project were to assist the Government in

6. In Professor Sozen's report on his two-week mission to the Project he mentions his first trip to Romania in March 1977 and the very favourable impression he gained of the level of technical competence in the Romanian engineering community. that, in the field of structural dynamics and design of earthquake resistant structures, the level of understanding of current technology in Romania compares very well with that in Japan and the USA.

9. Concerning the planned system in INCERC, incorporating several types of shaking tables and servo-controlled cyclic loading jacks, it is mentioned that the efficient use of such a facility will require that a reasonably powerfil computer centre be under the control of the system manager.

10. Professor Penzien visited in Bucharest the UNDP office, ICCPDC INCERC, the Design Institute "Carpati" and ICB (Institute of Civil Ehgineering). visited the Iasi Branch of the Central Institute for Building Research, Design and Guidance (ICCPDC). The discussions carried out during his stay in Romania with specialists from various institutes covered a wide range of topics. These were :

Lectures were given on the development of research facilities at the University of California (Berkeley) as well as on some analytical research related to soil- structure interaction.

11. Regarding Romanian plans for greatly expanding experimental research in the fiture, Professor Penzien mentioned that plans should also be made for expanding analytical research, particularly in correlation analyses and in computer-aided dynamic response analyses. of course, require better computer facilities.

15. Mr. Raduinea, research engineer at INCERC, spent the time from 27 January to 26 April, 1980, in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to carry out a three months' specialization in the particular field of "Foundation Engineering in difficult ground conditions and seismic regions". in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. As a result of the studies undertaken and the general experience gained in this time, some modern research projects were developed at the end of the fellowship, such as:
