Building Construction in Ehrthquake Areas
TERMINAL REPORT
I.
Background
Romania is a country affected by high seismicity. Two destructive
1.
earthquakes have affected extensive regions of the country during this century,
(1940 and 1977) and it is expected that the seismogenetic processes known to be
under way will continue to generate frequent earthquakes over the next decades.
Official Arrangements
The project document was signed on 5 April 1979 by the Government and
2.
10 April by UNDP and Unesco. It foresaw two years of project activity, with a total
UNDP input of US $l5O,OOO, of which US $8,600 was for consultant services,
US $27,600 for training and US $113,000 for equipment. Government contribution was
foreseen as 85,000,000 lei (equivalent of US $7 million).
The project was
subsequently extended until 31 December 1983 and the UNDP contribution increased to
US $151,055 (Revision H).
11.
OBJETIVES
Immediate Ob ;i ect ives
3.
The immediate objectives of the Project were:
-
t o assist in the development of earthquake building research and
technologies by conducting experimental and numerical analysis of
new solutions for structural systems;
to improve standards and codes related to aseismic design by
means of:
(a) furnishing the Central Institute for Building Research, Design
and Guidance with modern specialized equipment (Automatic Data
Acquisition System);
(b) training national earthquake engineering specialists.
Long-term Development Objectives
The long-term objectives of this project were to assist the Government in
the National Plan for Earthquake Hazard Mitigation by developing earthquake building
research and new earthquake construction technologies, as well as efficient
solutions for aseismic structural systems. These would provide effective protection
for man, institutions and properties from social dislocation and economic and
ecological disruption associated with potential or realised earthquake hazard.,

ACTIVITIES AND OmPUTS
A.
UNDP/Unesco Activities under the Project
(a) Consultancy Services
5.
There were two consultants who were highly qualified experts:
Professor M.A. Sozen (University of Illionois, USA) and Professor J. Penzien
The former was in Romania from 20 May to 31 May
(University of California, USA).
1980 and the latter from 17 September to 30 September 1980.
1
I
6.
In Professor Sozen's report on his two-week mission to the Project he
mentions his first trip to Romania in March 1977 and the very favourable
impression he gained of the level of technical competence in the Romanian
engineering community. He observed that his 1980 consultancy had convinced him
that, in the field of structural dynamics and design of earthquake resistant
structures, the level of understanding of current technology in Romania compares
very well with that in Japan and the USA. In particular, he states that Romanian
experience of "typified" buildings "is without parallel in Japan and the American
continent".
7.
i,
The particular shortcoming of the professional community in Romania, in
Mr. Sosen's opinion, is their lack of direct contact with professionals in other
countries, along with their lack of access to data processing and calculation
equipment
~
I
In regard to the proposed seismic testing facility, some recommendations
8,
are made for training activities which would involve a serious work programme
aimed at building a capability for running the facility and other centres with
similar systems. Such training would also instil an intimate knowledge of the
weaknesses and strengths of other laboratories, thereby enabling exchanges of
information to be oriented more effectively.
9.
Concerning the planned system in INCERC, incorporating several types of
shaking tables and servo-controlled cyclic loading jacks, it is mentioned that the
efficient use of such a facility will require that a reasonably powerfil computer
centre be under the control of the system manager.
10.
Professor Penzien visited in Bucharest the UNDP office, ICCPDC INCERC,
the Design Institute "Carpati" and ICB (Institute of Civil Ehgineering). He also
visited the Iasi Branch of the Central Institute for Building Research, Design
and Guidance (ICCPDC). The discussions carried out during his stay in Romania
with specialists from various institutes covered a wide range of topics. These
were :
-
technical aspects of the design of earthquake engineering facilities
in research, currently under way in Romania;
development of various research methodologies and the achievement of
a proper balance between them;
,
-3-
-
evaluation and effects on design of seismic hazard and seismic risk;
-
general problems of structural safety and reliability;
-
design of high performance special-purpose structures;
problems of risk management in existing buildings;
selection and development of staff;
improved dissemination of scientific information;
training of specialists.
Lectures were given on the development of research facilities at the University
of California (Berkeley) as well as on some analytical research related to soilstructure interaction.
11.
Regarding Romanian plans for greatly expanding experimental research in
the fiture, Professor Penzien mentioned that plans should also be made for
expanding analytical research, particularly in correlation analyses and in
computer-aided dynamic response analyses. This latter expansion will, as a matter
of course, require better computer facilities.
Both consultants answered a questionnaire on the problems of structural
12
safety, which was used as the basis for a panel discussion published in the
Romanian journal "Constructii*v,December 1980. Their participation in this
panel. greatly contributed to the success of the publication, which aroused
considerable interest'in Romanian engineering circles.
0
The discussions with both consultants were particularly useful for the
13
development of the new Romanian earthquake-resistant design code, endorsed in 1981,
for the advancement of the design of earthquake engineering research facilities,
and for the design of some particular structures. Their mission to Romania was a
resounding success.
(b)
Individual Fellowships
Fellowships were granted to Mr. Nicolae Raduinea of INCEXC (Building
14
Research Institute, Bucharest), Radu-Dan Urma of IPCT (Design Institute for
Standardized Buildings) and Mr. Dumitru Vasilescu of ICCPDC Iasi.
-
15.
Mr. Raduinea, research engineer at INCERC, spent the time from 27 January
to 26 April, 1980, in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to carry out a three months' specialization
in the particular field of "Foundation Engineering in difficult ground conditions
and seismic regions". He also visited some companies and state agencies active
in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. As a result of the
studies undertaken and the general experience gained in this time, some modern
research projects were developed at the end of the fellowship, such as:
.../
-4-
total stress analysis concerning natural and consolidated loess soils;
up-to-date analysis procesures, where the SHANSEP, Professor CA Ladd's
approach, was the mowt usefil;
improvement of existing devices to run some modern tests (triaxial with
geostatic and extension cpndition, cyclic loads, etc.);
experimental investigation on liquefaction potential of sands and loess
soils
'
,..As a consequence of his fellowship, Mr. Raduinea was given the responsibility of
Staff Chief in the field of soil dynamics at INCERC Foundation Division.
,
f
Mr. Urma, a design engineer at IPCT, stayed in the United States from
16
27 January to 26 April, 1980; (host: Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he took some courses on analysis and planning of
structural systems, structural dynamics and structural loads. He also visited
several companies active in the field of construction of building structures.
At the end of the fellowship, many other specialists in Romania were able
17
to profit from the experience provided to Mr. Urma by the technical conferences.
In particular new knowledge and data obtained during the training period were used
in design activity concerning one storey and multi-storied industrial buildings in
seismic areas.
Mr. Vasilescu, a research engineer at ICCPDC (Iasi), was awarded a three18.
month Unesco, fellowship from 19 February to 18 May, 1980, which was administered
by the Institute of International Education in New York.
The primary objective of the training programme consisted of advanced
19
studies in Earthquake Engineering at the Department of Civil Ehgineering,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the United States.
The basic practical activities undertaken by him were aimed at providing
20.
opportunities for study, research, lecturing, attendance at professional
conferences and observations. The study programme covered the following areas:
(i)
(ii)
Investigation into the effect of earthquake motions on reinforced
concrete structures. This topic was still under scrutiny at the
Structural Research kboratory of the Department of Civil figkneering
at the University of Illinois during the lifetime of the programme
mentioned above;
studies concerning design procedures for reinforced concrete
structural walls used as lateral bracing earthquake resistant
multistorey systems;
(iii) studies on possibilities for simplifying the inelastic analysis of
reinforced concrete frames and frame-wall systems subjected to
severe seismic actions. Development and improvement of computer
programmes for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete
structural systems.
I
-5-
After contacting Professor Mete A. Sosen of the University of Illinois
21.
(the supervisor of the training programme), a preliminary schedule for the study
programme was drawn up. This schedule has been subse&ently detailed to include
further topics relevant to the field of Earthquake &gineering and to provide
opportunities for the fellow to attend some concurrent seminars and professional
meetings.
22.
The professional activities undertaken included:
-
-
-
visits to the Structural Research Laboratory of the University of
Illinois, including documentation on recent advances in Earthquake
Ehgineering. These activities provided the fellow with an up-to-date
information on the researches being carried out in the United States,
in particular at the University of Illinois, related to Building
Construction in Seismic Zones;
attendance at the Annual Convention of the American Concrete Institute.
Relevant to the Earthquake Ehgineering field, the following meetings
are mentioned: 307 Subcommittee on Earthquakes, 310 Subcommittee on
Seismic Provisions, 428 Subcommittee on Inelastic Behaviour of
Reinforced Concrete Structures;
studies regarding experimental methods for determing the seismic
response of reinforced concrete structures used at the University of
Illinois. Some discussions and exchanges of opinion were made on the
Earthquake Simulator of the Civil Ehgineering Department and on some
questions of earthquake simulation in the laboratory;
visit to the Portland Cement Association (PCA) at Skopje;
attendance at the Sixth National Meeting of the Universities Council
for Earthquake Engineering;
further studies on frame-wall structures subjected to strong eqrthquake
motions;
visit to the Earthquake Ehgineering Research Centre (EERC) of the
University of California.
These activities provided the opportunity for the fellow to acquire a
23
higher scientific and engineering understanding of the effects of earthquake
motions on reinforced concrete structures. It also familiarised him with recent
advances that have been made in the United States in the design of earthquakeresistant buildings.
The studies carried out and the discussions covering a large number of
24
particular problems of Earthquake Ehgineering (possibilities and limitations of
scale model testing, correlation of experimental results with analysis, seismic
provisions, etc.) offered many opportunities for exchanging views and contributed
to a better orientation of the fellow in the subject, and in the general area of
scientific communication.
-6-
25.
Most of the ideas he acquired were applied in the research activities the
fellow carried out in his own institute after terminating the training programme.
These activities included about ten research reports on various subjects in
Earthquake Ehgineering, the participation of the fellow in certain regional
cooperation programmes on Brthquake Risk Reduction and several papers published
in technical journals.
A fellowship was also granted to Mi. Radu-Serban Comsa, who was at the
26c
University of California in Berkeley: from 1 to 28 February 1983. While there,
h had discussions with Professors John Lismer and See of the Department of Civil
Ehgineering on earthquake effects on soil foundation systems, He then went to the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he had consultations with Professors
F. Richart, R. Woods and E. Wylie, of the Department of Civil Engineering. He
remained there until 15 March 1983, Finally, he visited the Department of Civil
Ehgineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge where he
had discussions with Professors Baligh and Sunder,
I
>
The fifth fellowship under this project was granted to Adrian Cristescu,
27
He went to the Polytechnic College in Milan, Italy, from 9 November 1983 to
6 January 1984, to study planning, general building, configuration, connection and
detailing conception for constructions in seismic areas in the field of architectural
seismic design.
28.
These fellowships provided the Romanim specialists with the opportunity
to extend their knowledge, which has proved beneficial to the Institute. It can
therefore be said that this programme of the project has been highly successful.
Fquipment
The research equipment specified for delivery on the basis of Project
29
activities is a Data Acquisition and Processing System based on a PDP 11/34 CPU.
The system is to be used in order to perform automated data acquisition during
laboratory tests at a high rate, and to process experimental data as well as to
perform engineering calculations related to earthquake engineering problems.
The configuration of the system was set up by LNCERC, in cooperation with
30
an institute specialized in the field of computer activities. The core of the
system, delivered within the framework of the Project, is to be completed by means
of some additional peripherals and interfaces, using different financing sources.
31.
The delivery of the system has been considerably delayed, apparently due
to licensing problems. After the delivery of the system some lengthy discussion
took place in connection with the insurance and installment of the system. The
conditions specified by the supplier (DEC , France) in 1982 were much less favourable
than expected on the basis of previous information, since a large amount of spare
parts,had to be bought by the user, the cost of the installment was high and one
year's insurance was requested. Given the impossibility of covering all the
expenses, which totalled around US $100,000, it was agreed to start the installation
of the system using the services of Romanian specialists trained by DEC. This
activity was started in December 1982, Tests of the system during this period showed
that some compenents of the terminal and of the tape unit had to be replaced.
I
-7-
Contacts with D E , Geneva (which inherited from DEC, F'rancet,the task of keeping
contacts with the user) were initiated, and, after conducting checks recommended
by DEC, Geneva,in order to detect the components to be changed, a request for
replacing the defective components was sent in early February 1983 to DE, Geneva.
After the defective components had been replaced or repaired, it turned
31
out that additional components were also defective. After the new request had been
accepted and complied with, the installment of the system was completed by Romanian
staff, as mentioned above. The last phase of installment included some final minor
repair work which could be done in Romania. The system has been operational since
early December 1983, and its w r e n t use has greatly assisted INCERC's earthquake
engineering research.
Summaq
32.
In summarizing the development of Project activities and outputs in
connection with the contribution of UNDP/Unesco it may be stated that the activities
related to consultancy services and to individual fellowships were successfully
completed, but that the late delivery of the equipment and the difficulties raised
in connection with its installation, led to some considerable delay in using the
system
.
B.
Government Constribution
The Government's contribution to this project included support of consultant
33.
activities, participation in fellowships and preparation for the delivery of the
research equipment.
General Domestic Activities
34.
Concern for earthquake-resistant construction was very strong in Romavlia
during the period covered by the Project, since the country was still suffering
from the effects of the destructive earthquake of 4 March 1977.
The experience of this earthquake was analyzed thoroughly by numerous
specialists of research, design and construction institutes and companies, as well
as of central state agencies. The summary of earthquake experience, worked out by
numerous staffs, included valuable recommendations made by foreign experts and brought
about an improvement of design codes and standards. It also made technical solutions
used in earthquake-prone areas much more effective.
35.
A sustained effort was undertaken on a national scale to upgrade hazardous
36.
buildings; indeed the success of rehabilitation activities carried out in Romania
during the immediate post-earthquake period met with wide international appreciation.
37
The concern for development of research activities and facilities was also
enhanced by the impact of the earthquake. The strong motion network was considerably
strengthened (an important role was played in this regard by the UNDP/Unesco Project
ROM/77/004), laboratory research methodologies were considerably improved, and
development of large-scale research facilities at INCERC Bucharest and at the
Iasi branch of ICCPDC is now under way.
-
- 8The experience of Romanian earthquakes, as summarized by Romanian specialists,
38.
has aroused the interest of international specialists on a number of occasions.
39
Over the years Romania developed its own international activities related
to earthquake-resistant construction. Besides the bilateral cooperation projects
under way or more recently initiated, it should be mentioned that Romania is active
in the frame of two UNDP-supported Balkan projects, FER/71j/(a4 (coordinated by Uneseo)
and RER/79/015 (coordinated by UNIW). Moreover, Romanian specialists have been
active at several international scientific meetings on the topic, where they
presented contributions of interest for the participants.
t
A subject which has increasingly absorbed the attention of Government
agencies and specialists, is the concern for existing building stock. This field
raises serious technical difficulties, and bears witness to the scope of concern
on a national scale. It is bound to remain a high priority of Romanian
specialists in the future.
40.
IV.
ACHI-
OF IMMEDIATE OaTECTIVES
.
It can be stated that, by February 1982, considerable progress had been
41
made towards achieving the immediate objectives, as foreseen in the project
document, namely:
-
-
I
the consultancy services provided by highly qualified experts made
contacts with them particularly efficient and useful;
the individual fellowships already granted were very usefil and
contributed to the improvement of earthquake engineering research
methodologies and design activities;
the equipment delivered in 1982 became operational in 1983 and was being
used efficiently in research activities;
the domestic activities related to various earthquake engineering topics
developed according to the terms of the Project Document.
Utilization of Project Results
424
The findings and recommendations provided through contacts with consultants
resulted subsequently in codes being drafted, the most important of them being the
code for earthquake resistant design P.100
81, endorsed in 1981, and applied
nationwide in design practice. It was also responsible for the development of
research methodologies (particularly in the design of the seismic testing station
of INCERC) and in some particular earthquakeresistant design projects.
-
43
The knowledge which the individual fellowships granted within the franework
of Project activities is currently used in research on foundation and structural
engineering, related to earthquake protection.
44.
The equipment supplied, put into operation and used in research activities,
has provided much-improved conditions for research, increasing the ability of the
1
-9-
research staff of INCERC to process data of various kinds proper to earthquake
engineering activities.
The domestic activities were sustained and efficient and led to significant
improvements of design regulations as well as to the development of new earthquake
resistant structural solutions used in building practice.
45.
v.
CONCIUSIONS AND RECOMMEKDATIONS
Some comments (correlated with those of the consultants and those
experiences of their Romanian specialists involved within this project) should
be made. They are:
d6
-
-
-
-
the level of technical competence in the Romanian tech-ical commnity
is good;
the existence in Romania of a direct link between research and design
is of direct and vital importance;
contacts of Romanian professionals with their counterparts of other
countries should be improved;
the current conditions of access to data processing and calculation
equipment constitute a hindrance to research;
the concern for risk management in existing construction should not
lose sight of the need for determination of priorities on the basis of
use and in relation to construction data, the development of categories
and of priority systems within given categories, and the initiation of
action for high priority buildings. Every effort should be made to
assess real damage potential and to develop and implement corrective
measures toward reducing overall risk to existing buildings;
seismic hazard mapping should be modernized. The seismic hazard maps
should be updated to provide a basis for better risk management;
more direct experience on non-linear computer analysis of structures is
necessary;
the lateral drift criterion should be used in the design of framed
structures;
the joints of large panel construction should be carefilly designed
and reductions should be accepted only on the basis of appropriate
analysis or tests;
experimental research is carried out at a high level; both in Bucharest
and Iasi, but more attention should be provided to analytical research,
including correlation studies. The analytical research conducted at
LNCERC is at an vvoutstandingv*
level, but expansion required by covering
- 10
the necessary correlation studies with planned experimental research
is no less necessary. The seismic testing facility of INCERC
Bucharest is well-planned and may be expected to play a role of
international importance. Some consultation with experienced and
successfbl foreign designers of control systems of shaking tables may
be necessary, The decision on the foundation solution for the shaking
tables should be adopted, always bearing in mind efficiency, cost and
maintenance problems involved in possible solutions, The Iasi facility
represents the result of application of high ingenuity, but current
work is hampered by a lack df the equipment needed for data acqgisition
and processing and by the rough reproduction of the seismic motion;
-
-
-
the development o f new experimental facilities requires particular
attention for the selection of appropriate staff. Ehgineers designed
to use it should be provided with the opportunity of working
extensively abroad, with similar systems;
improved access to information provided by technical literature,
visiting of experimental research stations in operation as well as
stimulating publication and dissemination of research results obtained
in Romania, should be provided.
Although it can be stated that the project was successful in achieving its
objectives, there still exists a need for additional assistance in terms of
consultant services, individual fellowships, study tours and equipment to meet
the requirements of Romania's Country Development Programme.
