2 Overview Introduction Background Chapters 16 & 16 A (Soil lateral and eq. loads) Chapters 18 & 18 A (Soils and Foundations) Summary
3 Introduction 2013 CBC is based on 2012 IBC, and ASCE 7-10 Will discuss changes relevant to seismic and geotechnical engineering
4 Chapters 16 and 16A (Earthquake Loads) Scope: buildings, structures and community college buildings regulated by DSA-Structural Safety/Community Colleges (DSA-SS/CC) and OSHPD
5 Estimation of Ground Motions Ground Motions No Site Class F (exceptions) Yes Yes For DSA & OSHPD SDC = E & F No Site-Specific Ground Motions Hazard and Site Response Analysis Per Chapter 21 of ASCE 7-10 Ground Motion Hazard Analysis Per Chapter 21 of ASCE 7-10 As Modified by Section 1803A.6 Code-Based Chapter 1613, 1613A Chapter 11 of ASCE 7-10 USGS Web Application
6 Major Changes Chapters16 & 16A (ASCE 7-10 Chapter 11)
7 Major Changes Table : Occupancy Category to Risk Category MCE is defined in two ways Geometric Mean (MCE G ) Risk-Targeted (MCE R ) PGA is associated with MCE and S DS /2.5 New table for factor F PGA to estimate site modified PGA consistent with MCE Long-period transition period (T L ) maps Risk coefficients maps Site-specific ground motion analysis is required for Seismic Design Category E &F for OSHPD and DSA-SS/CC Dynamic earth pressures for retaining walls supporting more than 6 feet of fill Engineering Geologic Reports Geohazard Reports

9 Maximum Considered Earthquake MCE is now defined in two ways Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCE G ) Peak Ground Acceleration: Geometric mean peak ground acceleration and without adjustment for targeted risk. The MCE G peak ground acceleration adjusted for site effects (PGA M ) is used for evaluation of liquefaction, lateral spreading, seismic settlements, and other soil related issues. General procedures for determining PGA M are provided in Section ; site-specific procedures are provided in Section Risk-targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE R ) Ground Motion Response Acceleration: Ground motions for the orientation that results in the largest maximum response to horizontal ground motions and with adjustment for targeted risk. General procedures for determining the MCE R Ground Motion values are provided in Section ; site-specific procedures are provided in Sections 21.1 and 21.2.
10 Risk Targeted MCE R Mapped values of S S and S 1 are for maximum rotated motions with adjustment for targeted risk The geometric mean spectral acceleration values from USGS have been factored by 1.1 for 0.2s or 1.3 for 1.0s to convert (approximately) to max direction. Site Class definitions use Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-10 F a and F v values are same as before S MS, S M1, S DS, and S D1 equations are same as before
11 Background
12 Geometric Mean vs. Maximum Rotated Motions All GMPEs are based on geometric mean (GM) values of 2 orthogonal horizontal motions GM = (h1 x h2) NGA is based on GMRotI50 GMRotI50 is defined as the 50 th percentile value of a set of geometric means computed from the as-recorded orthogonal horizontal motions rotated through all possible periodindependent non-redundant rotation angles (Boore et al., 2006).
13 Geometric Mean vs. Maximum Rotated Motions OSHPD and DSA adopted maximum rotated motion concept for site-specific ground motion hazard analysis in 2010 CBC

20 Maximum Rotated Motions NGAs are based on GMRotI50 For true maximum rotated motions, new relationships are needed using the MaxRotI50 Alternatively, there are ratios of MaxRot to GMRotI Beyer & Bommer (2006) Watson-Lamprey & Boore (2007) Huang, Whittaker, & Luco (2009) USGS used 1.1 and 1.3 ratios
21 Maximum Rotated Motions Period (sec) ln(sa maxrot /SA GMRot ) SA maxrot /SA GMRot
22 Maximum Rotated Motions ASCE 7-10 Supplement No. 1 If the spectral response accelerations predicted by the attenuation relations do not represent the maximum response in the horizontal plane, then the response spectral accelerations computed from the hazard analysis shall be scaled by factors to increase the motions to the maximum response. If the attenuation relations predict the geometric mean or similar metric of the two horizontal components, then the scale factors shall be: 1.1 for periods less than or equal to 0.2 sec; 1.3 for a period of 1.0 sec., and, 1.5 for periods greater than or equal to 5.0 sec., unless it can be shown that other scale factors more closely represent the maximum response, in the horizontal plane, to the geometric mean of the horizontal components. Scale factors between these periods shall be obtained by linear interpolation.

For seismically isolated structures and for structures with damping systems on sites with S 1 greater than or equal to 0.6, a ground motion hazard analysis shall be performed in accordance with Section Exception in Section For structures having fundamental periods of vibration equal to or less than 0.5 s, site response analysis is not required to determine spectral accelerations for liquefiable soils. Rather, a site class is permitted to be determined in accordance with Section 20.3 and the corresponding values of Fa and Fv determined from Tables and
59 Chapter 21 Site-Specific Ground Motion Procedure for Seismic Design 2013 CBC Section and 1616A.1.3 Modify ASCE 7 Section by adding the following For buildings assigned to Seismic Design Category E and F, or when required by the buildings official, a ground motion hazard analysis shall be performed in accordance with ASCE 7 Chapter 21, as modified by Section 1803A.6 of this code CBC Section 1803A.6 Modification The three Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) relations used for the 2008 USGS seismic hazard maps for Western United States (WUS) shall be utilized to determine the site-specific ground motion. When supported by data and analysis, other NGA relations, that were not used for the 2008 USGS maps shall be permitted as additions or substitutions. No fewer than three NGA relations shall be utilized.
60 Section 21.1 Site Response Analysis The requirements of Section 21.1 shall be satisfied where site response analysis is performed or required by Section The analysis shall be documented in a report. Section 21.1 Site Response Analysis o Base ground motion for MCE R for bedrock or equivalent using GMHA o Site model. For deep soil sites, at least to Site Class D o Site response using nonlinear or equivalent-linear methods o At least five recorded or simulated scaled time histories o Ratios of surface ground motions to input ground motions o Recommended MCE R spectrum shall not be less than MCE R spectrum of the base motion multiplied by average surface-tobase ratio
61 Section 21.2 Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE R ) Ground Motion Hazard Analysis The requirements of Section 21.2 shall be satisfied where a ground motion hazard analysis is performed or required by Section Section 21.2 Ground Motion Hazard Analysis MCE R is based on both probabilistic and deterministic Based on the direction of maximum horizontal motion Probabilistic = 2% probability in 50 years Deterministic = 84 th percentile from the controlling fault and should not be less than Deterministic Lower Limit Adjustment to probabilistic for targeted risk using one of the two methods Site Specific MCE R = lesser of probabilistic and deterministic
62 Deterministic Lower Limit
63 Site Specific Risk-Targeted Methods Method 1: At each spectral period MCE R is taken as MCE R = Probabilistic MCE x C R where C R is the risk coefficient and shall be obtained using the values of C RS and C R1 from Figures and C R = C RS for periods 0.2 s C R = C R1 for periods 1.0 s C R = linearly interpolated for 0.2 s < period < 1.0 s Method 2: Based on iterative integration of a site-specific hazard curve with a lognormal probability density function representing the collapse fragility

65 Risk Coefficient Maps
66 Risk Coefficient Maps
67 Section 21.3 Design Response Spectrum Design spectral acceleration at any period shall be taken as S a = 2/3 S am Where S am is spectral response acceleration obtained from Section 21.1 or S a shall not be less than 80% of S a determined from Section For Site Class F requiring site response analysis, S a shall not be less than 80% of S a for Site Class E determined from Section

70 Chapter 16 Seismic Response History Procedure Not less than 3 suites of motions When 7 motions are used, take the average response When less than 7 motions are used, take the maximum response For 2D analysis, motions should be scaled such that the average value of the response spectra of scaled motions shall not be less than the design response spectrum of the site for periods between 0.2T and 1.5T where T is fundamental period of the structure
71 Chapter 16 Seismic Response History Procedure For 3D analysis, the ground motions shall consist of pairs of horizontal motions. For each pair of horizontal ground motion components, a square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) spectrum shall be constructed by taking the SRSS of the 5 percent-damped response spectra for the scaled components (where an identical scale factor is applied to both components of a pair). Each pair of motions shall be scaled such that in the period range from 0.2T to 1.5T, the average of the SRSS spectra from all horizontal component pairs does not fall below the corresponding ordinate of the response spectrum used in the design At sites within 3 miles (5 km) of the active fault that controls the hazard, each pair of components shall be rotated to the fault-normal and faultparallel directions of the causative fault and shall be scaled so that the average of the fault-normal components is not less than the MCE R response spectrum for the period range from 0.2T to 1.5T.
72 Summary Ground motion parameters are based on Risk-targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE R ) Spectral accelerations are in the direction of maximum horizontal ground motions PGA is associated with the maximum considered earthquake with geometric mean motions and are much higher than before Site Class shall be established using Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-10 Ground motion parameters have increased or decreased based on the location Dynamic earth pressures are required for retaining walls with backfill height of 6 feet or more Note changes in ASCE 7-10 especially in Chapter 21
73 ASCE 7-16 New tables for F a, F v, and F pga Additional exceptions for Site Class F in Chapter 20 Complete overhaul of Chapter 16 which allows spectra matching and conditional mean spectrum and additional requirements for near-fault sites Will take care of the issue where S M1 > S MS Procedure to develop vertical spectrum in Chapter 12
