Inertia Force

In some circumstances, dynamic amplification (due to near-resonance) can increase the building acceleration to a value two or more times that of the ground acceleration at the base.

Generally, buildings with higher natural frequencies or short natural periods tend to suffer higher accelerations but smaller displacements.

In the case of buildings with lower natural frequencies or long natural periods, this is reversed and the buildings experience lower accelerations but larger displacements.

Load Paths

Response of Concrete Buildings to Seismic Forces

Compression chord

Tension chord

Seismic forces concentrated at roof and floor diaphragms

Diaphragm shear forces at each end of diaphragm are transferred to the collector beam and the shear wall

Collector beam accumulates diaphragm shear and transfers it to the end of the shear wall

Compression Tension

Shear force

Bending moment

Passive pressure

Friction

Variable foundation contact pressure

Seismic forces tend to push the shear wall over causing an overturning moment

The overturning moment causes tension and compression boundary forces in the shear wall

Shear forces are transferred to the earth by friction on the bottom of footings and by passive pressure on the sides of footings

Forces from gravity loads and seismic overturning forces are transferred to the earth by vertical contact pressures beneath the footing

Alternatively, for buildings with natural period less than or equal to 2.0 sec., the seismicdesign base shear can be calculated using ASCE 7 02 with seismic design parameters asgiven in Appendix C. However, the minimum value of should not be less than 0.044SDSI. The values of SDS are provided in Table 6.C.4 Appendix C.

Section 8.3, Earthquake-Resistant Design Provisions

2.5.2 Earthquake Resistant Design –Basic Concepts

2.5.2.1 General principles

The purpose of earthquake resistant design provisions in this Code is to provide guidelines for the design and construction of new structures subject to earthquake ground motions in order to minimize the risk to life for all structures, to increase the expected performance of higher occupancy structures as compared to ordinary structures, and to improve the capability of essential structures to function after an earthquake. It is not economically feasible to design and construct buildings without any damage for a major earthquake event. The intent is therefore to allow inelastic deformation and structural damage at preferred locations in the structure without endangering structural integrity and to prevent structural collapse during a major earthquake.

2.5.2 Earthquake Resistant Design –Basic Concepts

2.5.2.2 Characteristics of Earthquake Resistant Buildings

The desirable characteristics of earthquake resistant buildings are described below:

Structural Simplicity, Uniformity and Symmetry:

Structural simplicity, uniformity and plan symmetry is characterized by an even distribution of mass and structural elements which allows short and direct transmission of the inertia forces created in the distributed masses of the building to its foundation. A building configuration with symmetrical layout of structural elements of the lateral force resisting system, and well-distributed in-plan, is desirable. Uniformity along the height of the building is also important, since it tends to eliminate the occurrence of sensitive zones where concentrations of stress or large ductility demands might cause premature collapse.

2.5.2 Earthquake Resistant Design –Basic Concepts

2.5.2.2 Characteristics of Earthquake Resistant Buildings Some basic guidelines are given below:(i) With respect to the lateral stiffness and mass distribution, the building structure shall be approximately symmetrical in plan with respect to two orthogonal axes. (ii) Both the lateral stiffness and the mass of the individual storeys shall remain constant or reduce gradually, without abrupt changes, from the base to the top of a particular building. (iii) All structural elements of the lateral load resisting systems, such as cores, structural walls, or frames shall run without interruption from the foundations to the top of the building.

2.5.2 Earthquake Resistant Design –Basic Concepts

2.5.2.2 Characteristics of Earthquake Resistant Buildings Some basic guidelines are given below:(iv) An irregular building may be subdivided into dynamically independent regular units well separated against pounding of the individual units to achieve uniformity. (v) The length to breadth ratio ( = / ) of the building in plan shall not be higher than 4, where and are respectively the larger and smaller in plan dimension of the building, measured in orthogonal directions.

2.5.4 Earthquake Ground Motion

Appendix C Seismic Design Parameters for Alternative Method of Base Shear Calculation

Appendix C is closer to ASCE 7-05 than 2.5.4

Both use seismic zones and the same Seismic Zone Map (Fig. 6.2.24)

Both approaches yield the same design base shear.

2.5.5.3 Building Irregularity

2.5.5.3.1 Plan irregularity: Following are the different types of irregularities that may exist in the plan of a building.

(i) Torsion irregularity

To be considered for rigid floor diaphragms, when the maximum storey drift ( ) as shown in Figure 6.2.27(a), computed including accidental torsion, at one end of the structure is more than 1.2 times the average [ =( + )/2] of the story drifts at the two ends of the structure. If >1.4 then the irregularity is termed as extreme torsional irregularity.

(ii) Re-entrant corners

Both projections of the structure beyond a re-entrant comer [Figure 6.2.27(b)] are greater than 15 percent of its plan dimension in the given direction.

2.5.5.3.1 Plan Irregularity(iii) Diaphragm Discontinuity

Diaphragms with abrupt discontinuities or variations in stiffness, including those havingcut out [Figure 6.2.27(c)] or open areas greater than 50 percent of the gross encloseddiaphragm area, or changes in effective diaphragm stiffness of more than 50 percentfrom one story to the next.

(iv) Out- of-Plane Offsets

Discontinuities in a lateral force resistance path, such as out of-plane offsets of vertical elements, as shown in Figure 6.2.27(d).

(v) Non-parallel Systems

The vertical elements resisting the lateral force are not parallel to or symmetric [Figure 6.2.27(e)] about the major orthogonal axes of the lateral force resisting elements.

2.5.5.3 Building Irregularity2.5.5.3.2 Vertical Irregularity: Following are different types of irregularities that may exist along vertical elevations of a building.

(i) Stiffness Irregularity - Soft Storey

A soft storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70% of that in the storey above or less than 80% of the average lateral stiffness of the three storeysabove irregularity [Figure 6.2.28(a)]. An extreme soft storey is defined where its lateral stiffness is less than 60% of that in the storey above or less than 70% of the average lateral stiffness of the three storeys above.

(ii) Mass Irregularity

The seismic weight of any storey is more than twice of that of its adjacent storeys[Figure 6.2.28(b)]. This irregularity need not be considered in case of roofs.

2.5.5.3.2 Vertical Irregularity(iii) Vertical Geometric Irregularity

This irregularity exists for buildings with setbacks with dimensions given in Figure 6.2.28(c).

(iv) Vertical In-Plane Discontinuity in Vertical Elements Resisting Lateral Force

An in-plane offset of the lateral force resisting elements greater than the length of those elements Figure 6.2.28(d).

(v) Discontinuity in Capacity - Weak Story

A weak story is one in which the story lateral strength is less than 80% of that in the story above. The story lateral strength is the total strength of all seismic force resisting elements sharing the story shear in the considered direction [Figure 6.2.28(e)]. An extreme weak story is one where the storey lateral strength is less than 65% of that in the story above.

(a) For live load up to and including 3 kN/m2, a minimum of 25 percent of the live load shall be applicable.

(b) For live load above 3 kN/m2, a minimum of 50 percent of the live load shall be applicable.

(c) Total weight (100 percent) of permanent heavy equipment or retained liquid or any imposed load sustained in nature shall be included.

Where the probable imposed loads (mass) at the time of earthquake are more correctly assessed, the designer may go for higher percentage of live load.
