4 7 September 11, 2013 Megathrust Events in the Pacific Northwest Average return interval 300 to 600 years Last 4 events: 710, 1150, 1500 and 1700 Last megathrust event: January 26,1700, Magnitude 8.7 to September 11,
5 Engineering Coefficients for Design Richter Magnitude: Not used by engineers for design. Richter Magnitude only describes the energy released by an earthquake, not the ground shaking at a particular building site Seismic Zones : The building code stopped using seismic zones in The Seattle area was in Zone 3, but this designation is no longer in the code, or accepted by building officials. Seismic Hazard Maps: These are contour maps that show ground shaking intensity for any location in the United States. The maps provide a much more accurate characterization of seismic hazard than the old seismic zone system. 9 September 11, 2013 Engineering Coefficients for Design Seismic Zones no longer exist in the building code. Earthquake design coefficients are now obtained from USGS maps. 10 September 11,
6 Effects of Earthquakes on Buildings 11 September 11, 2013 Analyzing Earthquake Effects Fundamental Approach Acceleration, g Time, seconds F = Mxa a max Max EQ Force = Building mass x a max? 12 September 11,
7 Analyzing Earthquake Effects Acceleration, g Time, seconds F = Mxa a max Max EQ Force = Building mass x a max? 13 September 11, 2013 Analyzing Earthquake Effects on Structures F = Mxa would be the right answer only if the building were completely rigid, and elastic 14 September 11,
8 Analyzing Earthquake Effects Earthquake engineering is more complicated than F = Mxa max because seismic design must account for 1. Dynamic response of the flexible building - Distribution of stiffness - Distribution of mass - Multiple modes of vibration 2. Inelastic response of the building - Yielding - Cracking - Friction 15 September 11, 2013 What Causes Earthquake Damage? Interstory Drift (Structural Racking) Both structural and nonstructural systems are damaged by racking of the structural frame: Shear Walls Columns Beams Cross Braces Foundations Exterior Cladding & Windows Interior Partitions Doors MEP Systems HVAC Systems UPS Systems Fire Suppression 16 September 11,
9 What Causes Earthquake Damage? Cracking 17 September 11, 2013 Photos: Andy Taylor/NIST What Causes Earthquake Damage? Accelerations Cause damage to non-structural components: Equipment Racks (tipping) Generators, Chillers, Compressors, Pumps Battery Racks Suspended Ceilings, Light Fixtures Raised Floors Furniture and Cabinets Elevators 18 September 11,

15 What Are the Goals of the Building Code? The current U.S. building code is the 2012 International Building Code, and ASCE The general goal of the code is to preserve the life safety function of a building: prevent injuries and allow safe egress from the structure. The building code does not generally provide for continued functionality of a building, or even reparability. For certain important structures, extra strength is provided, and structural racking is limited. 29 September 11, 2013 What Are the Goals of the Building Code? The Seismic Importance Factor I e, is based on Risk Category. It is applied to earthquake design forces. Risk Category I e I or II Normal Hazard 1.0 III High Hazard 1.25 IV Essential Facility September 11,
16 What Are the Goals of the Building Code? The maximum allowed story drift, a, is reduced for higher risk structures Risk Category Relative a I or II Normal Hazard 100 % III High Hazard 80 % IV Essential Facility 60 % 31 September 11, 2013 Performance-Based Seismic Design 32 September 11,
