1 Inelastic Design Response Spectra Developed by statistical processing of actual nonlinear spectra for ground motions, hysteretic characteristics, ξ and damage indices of interest. η plastic /g µ=3 Constant Ductility Spectra for various records Period Developed by modification of an elastic design spectrum. /g R µ=6 Elastic Response Spectrum µ=3 µ=6 µ=3 Period Period U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-1

2 Scope of Discussions Prefer: Actual spectra when site specific motions used. Empirical modification factors R and γ when elastic response spectrum specified. Look at typical empirical modification methods for ideal EPP systems Newmark and Hall (et al) Multi-linear relations (Hildalgo, Riddell, AC-32) Continuous functions (Miranda, Krawinkler, et al) Next Section: Examine briefly effect of and modifications for: P-Δ effects Shape of hysteretic loops Special ground motion characteristics soft soils near fault motions Viscous damping Duration of shaking other damage indices Compare to code provisions hen: Extend to multiple degree of freedom systems U.C.

5 A Note on Displacement Estimates d max = µd y = µq y /K So: = µ(q elastic /R)/K = (µ/r) ( elastic M)/K = (µ/r) S D elastic = γ S D elastic γ = µ / R hus, if we have a relation that defines R as a function of µ [R=f(µ,Τ)], we can estimate the maximum displacement using γ = µ/ f(µ,τ), However, the R function does not exactly fit the data (µ actual µ target ), so if we use γ = µ target /R our results will be slightly in error. R 1 R = f(µ,) Actual Ave. Data Period We only have a few analytical expressions for γ = f(µ, Τ) U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-5

15 Newer Displacement Amplification Factors For a comparison of various methods of estimating nonlinear displacements from elastic response spectra, see: Statistical Evaluation of Approximate Methods for Estimating Maximum Deformation Demands on Existing Structures, S. Akkar and E.

18 Some Example Applications Design - Use N & H methods = 1.2 sec (const. velocity range) elastic = 0.6g µ= 4 nl = 0.6g / 4 = 0.15g Q y = S a M = 0.15gM = 0.15W nl d y = nl /ω2 = 0.15 (386.4 in/sec 2 )/ [2π/(1.2sec)] 2 = 2.11 in. R=µ γ 1.4g 0.6g 1.2 sec d max = elastic x 1 = 4 x 2.11 = 8.44 inches => d plastic = 6.33 µ = 2 => Q y = 0.3W & d max = 8.44 inches => d plastic = 4.22 U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-18

19 Some Example Applications (2) Design - displacement reduced to 7.5 guess = 1.2 sec & elastic = 0.6g d max 7.5 inches max = 7.5 (1.2sec) / 8.44 = 1.07 sec. Still on velovity segment of curve? o s /2π=S v1.2 = 1.2 (1.2sec)/2π o = 0.6g (1.2sec) / 1.4g = sec. OK So, if M is constant, K new = (1.2/1.07) 2 K old = 1.27 K old = 0.6g (1.2 s)/1.07 s. = 0.67g S a elastic Q y = S a M = 0.67W/4 = 0.17W nl d max = S d x 1 = 7.5 inches nl 1.4g? 0.6g S D 1.2 sec? 1.2 sec d plastic = = 5.6 U.C.

21 Comment Note: for other period ranges, other relationships need to be used for the Newmark and Hall method. See previous equations relating µ and γ as a function of R It is straight forward to use empirical modification factors other than developed by Newmark and Hall In these other relationships, it may not be as simple to assess design changes necessary to change displacement or ductility to desired values. U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-21

22 Ductility Versus Displacement Consider two systems having the same stiffness designed to have the same ductility demand. Q 1 2 If we are in the displacement preserved range Q 1 2 d max If µ 1 = µ 2, then d max.1 /dy 1 = d max.2 /d max.2 => d max1 d max2 d if Q y1 = 2Q y2, => µ 1 = µ 2 /2 but... d plastic = d max - d y so µ = 1 + d plastic /d y if µ 1 = 3 and µ 2 = 6, then µ => +100% d pl => +25% d plastic.1 = 4 d y2 and d plastic.2 = 5 d y2 U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-22

23 Displacement vs. Ductility If we double the stiffness For the energy preserved range, similar calculations Q 1 can be done! Q Elastic 2 d 1 max increases slower than µ d y1 / 2 d y1 0.7d max1 d max1 Assuming Displacement Preserved hus, µ 2 = 0.7d max1 /0.5d y1 = 1.4µ 1 but d max2 = 0.7 d max 1 and d plastic2 = 0.7d max1 -d y1 /2 so, for µ = 3, d plastic2 = 0.53d plastic1 Q 2 d Elastic 1 d max may decrease 2 d U.C. Berkeley Spring 2009 UC Regents 9-23

24 Summary While there are many different equations used to represent the variations of R and γ with, µ and soil effects, they exhibit similar trends and all give similar results. Many codes are beginning to incorporate these factors directly or indirectly Increased focus on displacements Next Other factors: Hysteretic and viscous damping P-Δ effects Near-fault motions Pending factors for PBEE: Cummulative low-cycle fatigue damage Residual displacements U.C.
