    9.2 Review of concepts in Earthquake Engineering

    9.2.1 Basic definitions

    Earthquake Engineeringdeals with applying civil engineering design principles to

    reduce life and economic losses due to earthquakes, (i.e. to mitigate seismic risk).

    Seismic riskcan be defined as the probability of losses occurring due to earthquakes

    within the lifetime of a structure. The two main components of seismic risk are:

    a) Seismic hazard : This component of risk is determined by nature and cannotbe

    reduced. There are several damaging effects due to earthquakes including: ground

    shaking, landslides, surface ruptures and liquefaction. The level of seismic hazard

    can vary from having frequent low intensity earthquakes to having rare severe

    earthquakes.

    b) Structural vulnerability : This component depends on the structural

    configuration and properties and thus can be reduced by proper seismic design ofstructures. Steel structures have several inherent characteristics that are

    advantageous for seismic design. At the top of the list is the high ductility of steel

    compared to other construction materials. Ductility is the ability of the structure to

    deform past yielding without significant strength deterioration. However, to make

    use of the advantages of steel as a construction material for seismic design, the

    design engineer has to be familiar with the code design and construction

    provisions. In essence, code provisions are set to avoid different sources of

    structural vulnerability which include:

    inappropriate detailing

    inappropriate design

    poor connections

    irregularities in structural configuration (in plan and/or in elevation)

    soft storey (laterally)

    pounding against nearby structures

    failure to conform to the intent of the design.

    9.2.2 Nature of Earthquakes

    There are several causes for earthquakes: Some are caused by volcanoes which may be atriggering factor for earthquakes, or there can be induced seismicity resulting from

    underground explosions. However, a cause which is believed to be the main reason for

    most earthquakes is referred to as plate tectonics. Compared to the radius of the earth,

    the thickness of the earths crust is relatively thin. The earths crust is composed of

    several tectonic plates which move relative to each other about 50 mm per year.

    The roughness of the surfaces and edges of tectonic plates, and the huge pressures

    involved, cause potential sliding and slipping movements to generate friction forces large

    enough to lock-up surfaces in contact. Instead of sliding past each other, rock in a plate

    boundary area absorbs greater and greater compression and shear strains until it suddenly

    ruptures. At rupture, the accumulated energy (strain energy) within the strained rock mass

    releases in a sudden manner with a violent jarring motion. This is an earthquake.

    Most earthquakes are caused by movement between tectonic plates: 70% around the

    perimeter of the pacific plate; 20% along the southern edge of the Eurasian plate and 10%

    cannot be explained by plate tectonics some of which are intra-plate (within the plate).

    The surface along which the crust of the

    earth fractures is an earthquake fault.

    The point in the fault surface area

    considered the centre of energy release is

    termed the focus, its projection up to the

    earths surface defines the epicenter.

    The distancebetween thefocus and the

    epicenter is known as the focal depth.

    When the fault ruptures, seismic wavesemanate in all directions from the focus. The two

    types of underground waves which are generated by the fault rupture are:

    P waves(Primary waves) also known as compression waves, they push and pull the

    soil through which they pass.

    S waves(Shear waves) they move soil particles side-to-side either horizontally or

    vertically. This shear effect is of most concern and damaging to buildings.There is also a surface-rippling wave known as a Rayleigh wave.

    The response of the soil affects the features of the earthquake waves felt by the buildings.

    For example: deep layers of soft soil, as may be found in river valleys, significantly

    amplify shaking and also modify the frequency content of seismic waves by filtering out

    higher frequency excitations.

    9.2.3 Earthquake Magnitude (Richter)and Intensity (Mercalli)

    Earthquake magnitude defines the amount of energy released by the earthquake. Thus,

    earthquake magnitude is a quantitativemeasure of earthquake severity commonly

    measured by the Richter scale(1935). Each earthquake is assigned only one magnitude

    value. This is determined by seismologists from seismograph records. The Richter scale

    is a magnitude scale for earthquakes which relates logarithmically to the amount ofenergy released. This means that an increase of 1 in the number on the Richter scale

    represents a ten-fold (101) increase in amplitude and a 30-fold increase in

    discharged energy.(10

    On the other hand, earthquake intensity is a qualitativedescription of the earthquake

    severity. Accordingly, earthquake intensity varies according to the location where

    shaking is felt. Factors affecting earthquake intensity at a certain location includes:

    earthquake magnitude, epicentral distance and soil conditions. The most recognized

    intensity scale for earthquakes is the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scalesummarized in

    the following Table.

    considerable damage in construction of poor quality. Some chimneys

    broken.

    VIII Depending on the quality of design and construction, damages ranges

    from slight through to partial collapse. Chimneys, monuments and walls

    fall.

    collapses and buildings shifted off their foundations.

    9.2.4 Philosophy of Seismic-Resistant Design

    Given the uncertainties in determining the degree of severity of earthquakes and for

    obvious economical reasons, it is unrealistic to design a structure to respond elastically

    during a major earthquake. Thus, the philosophy of seismic design for major earthquakes

    is collapse prevention rather than damage prevention.

    For less severe earthquakes, lower

    levels of damage are accepted. As

    the importance of the structure

    increases, the criteria of accepted

    performance are more stringent as

    9.3.2 Factors affecting Seismic-Induced Forces

    (a) Building weight:

    When an object is subjected to a dynamic action, the inertia force is proportional to its

    mass according to Newtons second law of motion. Thus, as the weight of an object

    increases, the inertia force increases for a given level of acceleration. Buildings with

    heavier-weight structural materials are subjected to higher levels of seismic-induced

    forces than lighter ones. It is therefore advisable to use lighter weight construction in

    seismic prone areas (less mass gets excited).

    (b) Natural periods of vibration:

    A natural period of vibration is the time for one complete vibration cycle that a structure

    would undertake when subjected to an initial dynamic stimulus and then left to oscillate

    freely. The lowest frequency has the largest natural time period of vibration and is called

    the 1stmode or fundamental mode of the structure. Depending on the structural and

    geometrical configuration of the structure, there may be other periods corresponding to

    higher-order (2nd

    , 3rd

    , ...) modes. It is noteworthy that the contribution of the first(fundamental) mode of vibration is the most prominent and important for low and

    medium-rise buildings.

    (c) Damping:

    Damping is a resistance to free vibration and defines the energy-dissipation mechanism

    which steadily diminishes the amplitude of vibration. Damping in structures is mainly

    caused by internal friction within building elements. The type of construction material

    affects the degree of damping. There are many forms of damping. Viscous damping is

    velocity dependent. Currently, the most popular form is proportional damping (mass

    and stiffness dependent); it is also known as: Rayleigh, classical, orthogonal or

    modal damping. For additional information on damping refer to Tedesco et al.(1999).

    9.3.3 *** Response Spectrum concept ***

    Response spectrum is a powerful response vs. time graphical analytical tool used to

    quantify effects of natural periods of vibration on responses (acceleration, velocity or

    displacement) of buildings to an earthquake. Design codes use this response spectrum to

    develop design spectra.

    9.4 Lateral Load Resisting Systems

    9.4.1 Lateral Load Resistance

    The two main types of gravity load resisting systems are:

    oskeleton type structures: consisting of beams and columns.

    o wall bearing Structures

    The vertical members of both systems are mainly subjected to compression forces with

    the requirement to have sufficient cross section to resist buckling. The instability under

    lateral forces is a main issue for both systems.

    A main principle of seismic-resistant design is to ensure collapse prevention; therefore it

    is essential to design lateral-load resisting systems with lateral stability. NBCC-2010and

    S16-09seismic design provisions for lateral load resistance are based on the capacity

    design procedure. In this design procedure, certain structural components are designed

    to act as structural fuses (sacrificial elements). Specifically designed and detailed, these

    components are to fail and exhibit inelastic response dissipating energy during a design

    level earthquake. The locations of these components are engineered such that the gravityload-carrying capacity of the whole system is not impaired due to the damage in these

    components. The rest of the systems structural components are then proportioned to

    behave elastically.

    Two levels of reduction are inferred from this equation through the

    reduction factors dR and oR :

    dR is a ductility-relatedforce reduction factor that reflects the capability of a

    structure to dissipate energy through inelastic behavior.

    oR is an overstrength-relatedforce reduction factor that reflects the dependable

    portion of reserve strength in the structure.

    Both of these factors form the essence of Canadian seismic design philosophy and

    have numerically assigned values in [Table 4.1.8.9] of NBCC-2010.

    9.4.2 Seismic Lateral Force Resisting Systems

    The three most common systems used for seismic lateral force resistance are:

    Structural Shear Walls Braced Frames Moment-Resisting Frames

    - no penetrations - triangular penetrations - rectangular penetrations resist lateral force as

    vertical cantilevers with

    rigid connection to the

    foundation

    resist lateral forces as a

    cantilevered vertical trusses

    (braced bays).

    resist lateral forces

    through rigid connectivity

    between beams and

    columns (rigid frames).

    One of the three lateral systems should be present in each orthogonal direction of the

    structure.

    9.5 Seismic Forces estimation based on NBCC-2010

    9.5.1 Hazard and Design Spectra

    The procedure for estimating seismic-induced forces on buildings presented by the

    NBCC-2010is based on seismic hazard analysis for different locations in Canada. As

    illustrated on the 2010Seismic Hazard Map of Canada, each Canadian location has a

    certain degree of relative hazard. This is reflected in the quantification of seismic forces.

    When designing a structure to resist earthquakes, the design engineer should check the

    location of the structure and the corresponding degree of hazard.

    Using the Sa(T)information from seismic hazard maps which are expressed in terms of

    damped spectral response acceleration, the engineer can develop the design response

    spectrum for any locality in Canada. The design spectral acceleration (expressed as a

    fraction of gravitational acceleration), for a period T,is defined as Sda(T)and is given as:

    Sda(T) = Fa Sa(0.2)for T0.2 seconds,

    = Fv Sa(0.5)or FaSa(0.2), whichever is smaller for T=0.5 sec,

    = Fv Sa(1.0)for T=1.0 sec,

    = Fv Sa(2.0)for T=2.0 sec,

    9.6 Design of Ductile Moment-Resisting Frames based on S16-09

    Clause 27of S16-09present both proportioning and detailing requirements which provide

    acceptable inelastic response of steel structures under seismic actions. The main

    objectives of Clause 27code provisions are:

    a) avoid unstable sidesway mechanisms for structures exhibiting inelastic behavior.

    b) ensure ductile flexural behavior in yielding regions of the steel frame.

    In other words, S16-09code provisions for seismic design provide the guidelines to

    correctly defining the locations of yielding regions (fuses, plastic hinges) as well as the

    criteria for detailing the steel frames to ensure a safe failure of these regions under the

    effect of a major earthquake level. This section highlights some of the principles

    presented by S16-09for the design and detailing of Ductile Moment-Resisting Frames.

    9.6.1 Strong-Column/Weak-Beam principle

    Clause 27.2.1.1promotes a multi-storey side-sway mechanism dominated by hinging of

    beams rather than columns. The requirement of the formation of hinges (fuse locations) at

    beam ends and at column bases only is termed strong-column/weak-beam design. This is

    intended to avoid the formation of weak-storey (single-storey) mechanisms in which

    hinging occurs at the top and bottom ends of a single storey leading to overall instability.

    weak-column/strong-beam strong-column/weak-beam concept

    To achieve strong-column/weak-beam design, S16-09requires that the sum of columns

    flexural strengths at each joint exceed the sum of beam flexural strengths as specified by

    Clause 27.2.3.2.

    9.6.2 Beam-to-Column Connections

    S16-09provisions require that a beam-to-column connection is capable of transferring the

    moment and shear forces developed in the beam to the column. Clause 27.2.5.1requires

    that the connections should be capable of deforming in order that the frames can achieve

    specified drift levels. This is further discussed inAnnex Jwhere reference is made to

    pre-qualified connection configurations that have been tested for the ability to provide

    satisfactory performance. Some of these configurations are illustrated below:

    9.6.3 Detailing for Ductile Behavior

    The higher the level of ductility of the lateral load resisting system, the more it is

    expected to undergo significant inelastic behavior. Thus, S16-09sets detailing provisions

    to ensure ductile behavior which include:

    Protected Zones:

    Clause 27.2.8requires the designation of regions subject to inelastic deformations.

    Clause 27.1.9sets the requirements for protected zones where structural and other

    attachments that can alter the desired behavior of these zones should be prohibited.

    Protected zones should be indicated on structural design documents and shop details.

    Compact Sections (Class 2):To ensure reliable inelastic deformation, S16-09requires width-to-thickness b/tratiosof

    compression elements to be limited such as to avoid local buckling (Class 1or 2).

    Column splices:Since column splices are critical to the overall performance of moment-resisting frames,

    step 1:estimate of fundamental period Ta :

    The response spectrum adopted by the Code is based on estimating a value of the

    fundamental period of vibration of the structure. NBCC-2010provides a number of

    empirical formulas for different structural systems to estimate the fundamental period:

    Article 4.1.8.11 (sentence 3):

    3) The fundamental lateral period, Tain the direction under consideration, shall be

    determined as:

    a) for moment-resisting frames that resist 100% of the required lateral forces and where

    the frame is not enclosed by or adjoined by more rigid elements that would tend to

    prevent the frame from resisting lateral forces, and where hnis in metres:

    i) 0.085 (hn)3/4

    for steel moment frames

    ii) 0.075 (hn)3/4

    for concrete moment frames, or

    iii) 0.1 N for other moment frames,

    b) 0.025 hnfor braced frames where hnis in metres,c) 0.05 (hn)

    3/4 for shear wall and other structures where hnis in metres, or

    d) other established methods of mechanics using a structural model that complies with

    the requirements of sentence 4.1.8.3.(8), except that:

    i) for moment-resisting frames, Tashall not be taken greater than 1.5 times that

    determined in Clause (a),

    ii) for braced frames, Tashall not be taken greater than 2.0 times that determined in

    Clause (b),

    iii) for shear wall structures, Tashall not be taken greater than 2.0 times that

    determined in Clause (c),

    iv) for other structures, Tashall not be taken greater than that determined in Clause (c),

    and

    v) for the purpose of calculating the deflections, the period without the upper limit

    specified in Subclauses (d)(i) to (d)(iv) may be used, except that for walls, coupled

    walls and wall-frame systems, Tashall not exceed 4.0 sec, and for moment-

    resisting frames, braced frames and other systems, Tashall not exceed 2.0 sec.

    - the upper limits (above) are imposed on the periods of structures (Ta) because of

    concern that structural modeling does not include non-structural stiffening elements,

    thereby resulting in values of Tawhich are too high

    results in calculated seismicdesign forces which will be too low.

    calculations:

    Hn= 9 x3.6 metres=32.4 metres

    fromArticle 4.1.8.11(above), Ta= 0.085(32.4)3/4

    =1.15 seconds

    the structure meets the criteria of Article 4.1.8.7, sentence 1), case (b)and, therefore

    qualifies for analysis by ESFPmethod (equivalent static force procedure).

    step 2:Spectral Response Accelerations (SRA):This is the crucial step in seismic analysis and is based on the hazard classification given

    by NBCC. The value of Sa(T)5% damped spectral response acceleration will depend on

    the period of the structure and the location of the building. It can be obtained using the

    maps included earlier in this chapter or, in this case, from NBCC-2010 COMMENTARY J

    (TableJ-2). The reference soil is always class C. Some of the data from this table is:

    CitySa(T): 5% damped SRAseismic data

    Sa(0.2) Sa(0.5) Sa(1.0) Sa(2.0) PGA

    Victoria 1.2 0.82 0.38 0.18 0.61

    Winnipeg 0.095 0.057 0.026 0.008 0.036

    Since the period of our structure is t=1.15second, we interpolate between the values of

    Sa(1.0)and Sa(2.0)for Victoria, BC and could

    get spectral response acceleration at t=1.15sec, as

    Sa(1.15sec)= 0.35 (units are fractions of g), but

    there is a better way using the complete spectrum.

    9.8 Seismic Analyses summary

    Structural seismic analyses is a world of its own. The structural design analysts may

    encounter any of the following procedures indicated below. National and international

    codes are trending away from ESFPs (equivalent static frame procedures).

    SEISMIC ANALYSIS / DESIGN TOOLS Linear Static:

    oBuilding code formulae for calculating base shears similar to ESFP.

    (NBCC-2010Article 4.1.8.11, see example problem 9.7class notes).

    Linear Dynamic by Modal Response Spectrum Analysis (Article 4.1.8.12):

    oresponse spectrum analysis requires a response-spectrum curve

    consisting of digitized points of pseudo-spectral accelerations vs. time

    periods in a given direction for the structure (Commentary J, Note 32)

    oresponse spectrum seeks maximum response rather than a full time

    history analysis. It is based on modal superposition and eigenvectors or

    Ritz vectors.

    Non-Linear Static: Pushover Analysis

    operformance-based analysis,

    othe structure is pushed to failure with an increasing load up to expected

    level of performance,

    oprogression of plastic hinges are monitored until complete collapse

    mechanism is formed.

    Time History Analyses (THAs) (NBCC-2010 Article 4.1.8.12):

    - used at fault locations and whenever historic data is available,

    ocan be linear, or non-linear (geometric and/or material).ocan be modal superposition (MTHA) or direct-integration .

    ocan be transient or periodic.

    Although more sophisticated seismic analyses are a daunting task, they are becoming the

    requirement of codes. Software such as SAP2000and related tutorials, webinars and

    training sessions are available to assist structural seismic engineers.
