Earthquake Protective Design
Philosophical Issues
 High probability
of “Failure”
 “Failure”
redefined to
permit behavior
(yielding) that
would be
considered
failure under
other loads.
 High Uncertainty
 Importance of
Details
“In dealing with earthquakes we must
contend with appreciable probabilities
that failure will occur in the near
future. Otherwise, all the wealth of
the world would prove insufficient…
We must also face uncertainty on a
large scale… In a way, earthquake
engineering is a cartoon…
Earthquakes systematically bring out
the mistakes made in design and
construction, even the minutest
mistakes.” Newmark & Rosenblueth

Purpose of the Provisions
FEMA 302 Section 1.1
“The design earthquake ground motion levels specified herein
could result in both structural and nonstructural damage.
For most structures designed and constructed according to
these Provisions, structural damage from the design earthquake
ground motion would be repairable although perhaps not
economically so. For essential facilities, it is expected that the
damage from the design earthquake ground motion would not
be so severe as to preclude continued occupancy and function
of the facility.”
“For ground motions larger than the design levels, the intent of
these Provisions is that there be a low likelihood of
structural collapse.”

How to Deal with Huge Earthquake Force?
• Isolate structure from ground (Base Isolation)
• Increase Damping (Passive Energy Dissipation)
• Allow Inelastic Response
Historically, Building Codes use Inelastic Response Procedure.
Inelastic response occurs though structural damage (yielding).
We must control the damage for the method to be successful.

Interim Conclusion (The Good News)
The frame, designed for a wind force which is 15% of the
ELASTIC earthquake force, can survive the earthquake if:
It has the capability to undergo numerous cycles of
INELASIC deformation
It has the capability to deform at least 5 to 6 times
the yield deformation
It suffers no appreciable loss of strength
REQUIRES ADEQUATE DETAILING
4.12
ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginner's
Guide to ASCE 7-05
11
Interim Conclusion (The Bad News)
As a result of the large displacements associated with the
inelastic deformations, the structure will suffer considerable
structural and nonstructural damage.
This damage must be controlled by
adequate detailing and by limiting
structural deformations (drift)

Vertical Distribution of Base Shear
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.3
 For short period buildings the vertical
distribution follows generally follows the
first mode of vibration in which the force
increases linearly with height for evenly
distributed mass.
 For long period buildings the force is
shifted upwards to account for the
whipping action associated with
increased flexibility

Story Shear, Vx
 Story shear, Vx, is the shear force at a given story
level
 Vx is the sum of all the forces above that level.
ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginner's
Guide to ASCE 7-05
59
Horizontal Distribution
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.4
 Being an inertial force, the Story Force, Fx, is
distributed in accordance with the distribution
of the mass at each level.
 The Story Shear, Vx, is distributed to the
vertical lateral force resisting elements based
on the relative lateral stiffnesses of the
vertical resisting elements and the
diaphragm.
ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginner's
Guide to ASCE 7-05
60
Torsion
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.4.1-3
 The analysis must take into account any torsional effects
resulting from the location of the masses relative to the
centers of resistance.
 In addition to the predicted torsion, accidental torsion must
be applied for structures with rigid diaphragms by assuming
the center of mass at each level is moved from its actual
location a distance equal to 5% the building dimension
perpendicular to the direction of motion.
 Buildings of Seismic Design Categories C, D, E, and F with
torsional irregularities are to have torsional moments
magnified.

Using the results of the Seismic
Analysis
“The effects on the structure and its
components due to gravity loads and seismic
forces shall be combined in accordance with
the factored load combinations as presented
in ASCE 7 except that the effect of seismic
loads, E, shall be as defined herein.”

Overturning
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.5
 The effects of overturning must be considered.
 The overturning moment at any level is the sum of the
moments at that level created by the Story Forces at each
level above it.

Definition of E
See ASCE 7-05 12.4
 When Seismic effects and Dead Load effects
are additive:
E = Eh + Ev = DQE + 0.2SDSD
 When Seismic effects and Dead Load effects
counteract:
E = Eh - Ev = DQE - 0.2SDSD
 QE = Effect of horizontal seismic forces
 D = the reliability factor

The Reliability Factor, D
See ASCE 7-05 12.3.4
 The reliability factor is intended to account for redundancy in the
structure.
 The factor, D, may be taken as 1.0 for eight cases listed in
ASCE 7-05 12.3.4.1, including Seismic Design Categories A-C.
 For structures of Seismic Design Categories D-F:
D = 1.3
