Seismic design and specification of seismic products is
Seismic-relevant structural applications
Structural connections are vital to ensure that the structure
responds to a seismic event in a proper, predictable manner.
Connections should therefore be clearly detailed in the design
phase to make certain that both contractors and building inspectors
comprehend project specifications.
Firm, well thought out specifications are the best way to ensure that
the designed product is the one that is actually used.
Seismic-relevant non-structural applications
Anchors are often used to fasten non-structural components.
Their design and selection is therefore crucial in terms of minimizing both injuries to building occupants and the costs associated
with seismic events.
As fire is a common byproduct of earthquakes, firestop systems
should be specified in accordance with their ability to withstand
extreme deformation.

New rating classifications for anchor performance under seismic load: C1 and C2
New European testing procedure for determining the seismic suitability of fastenings
The seismic pre-qualification of anchors has been regulated since early 2013 in Europe
following the release of ETAG 001 Annex E. Anchors subject to this new test procedure must
now incorporate in the ETA all the required seismic design technical data . The suitability for
seismic loading is classified as:
ETA seismic category C1 – similar to U.S. pre-qualification procedure; only suitable for nonstructural applications according to the EOTA TR045 recommendations
ETA seismic category C2 – arduous seismic crack movement tests qualify an anchor as
suitable for more demanding structural and non-structural applications

Post-installed anchor seismic design
EOTA TR045 sets the fastening seismic design standard
EOTA TR045 sets the standard for the seismic design of steel-to-concrete connections until the new EN 1992-4 is released (release date
pending confirmation). This code is in full compliance with the standards in the new ETAG 001 Annex E.
Three design options
The design code incorporates three design approaches which are described below. Note that all three of these approaches are acceptable
within their application conditions.
a1) Capacity design
The anchorage is designed for the force corresponding to the yield of a ductile component or, if lower,
the maximum force that can be transferred by the fixture or the attached element.
a2) Elastic design
The fastening is designed for the maximum load assuming an elastic behavior of the fastening and of the
structure.
b) Design with requirements on the ductility of the anchors
This design for ductile steel failure requires an anchor classified as ductile. Additionally, this approach is
applicable only for the tension component and some provisions require to be observed in order to ensure
that the cause of failure is steel failure.

Structural rebar applications
Approved per CSTB seismic pre-qualification
Post-installed structural rebar
Reinforced concrete design assumes that concrete has negligible tensile strength while
allowing for the design of rebar development length and avoiding brittle concrete failure, in
the following two situations:
• Transferring tensile loads from one bar to another (overlap splice)
• Development length of the tensile force in a bar beyond a node in equilibrium
Seismic structural rebar approval
French DTA approvals delivered by CSTB, a member of EOTA, recognizes Hilti
HIT-RE 500-SD and HIT-HY 200-A injectable mortars as products qualified for structural
rebar applications in seismic zones. By applying engineering judgment, engineers can use
this French approval when designing seismic structural post-installed rebar connections.
Included in the DTAs
• The design bond strength fbd,seism of Hilti mortar considered for use in seismic zones
• Formatted data for design with Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 8
• Application limit information (e.g. transverse reinforcement, settings instructions)

Reason why Hilti has decided to test
some nails and screw according to the
quite new AC 70 american acceptance
criteria which contains seismic test for
nails on metallic base material.
If the resistances after the test are not
more than 20% below the initial values,
the fastening may be qualified for siesmic
application without any loss of performance. This is similar to the C1 criteria
for anchors.

Recommanded firestop products in seismic
Fires following earthquakes represent a major risk, both for the safety of human lives and for the protection of facilities and assets.
After an earthquake, fire, smoke and water damage can cause severe problems including:
■ Damage to mechanical and electrical equipment
■ Breaking/leaks in pipe systems
■ Damage to electrical lines, including emergency equipment, lighting
■ Damaged communication networks
■ Gas leaks, creating an explosion risk
■ Blocked, unusable escape routes
Once these problems have been managed there will also be a need for repair, maintenance and reinspection.
Hilti seismic tests
Hilti has conducted extensive tests to determine the behavior of firestop products in a seismic event while
taking fire integrity and smoke tightness issues in a post-earthquake environment into consideration.
Test setup
The quasi-static cyclic loads according to FEMA 461* protocol were applied directly on the penetrants,
whereas the wall was fixed. Tests were carried out in x-direction (load in same direction as the penetrant),
in y-direction (load perpendicular to the penetrant) and in z-direction (rotation with the center in the wall
layer). Air/gas tightness was measured during the test with a pressure testing device to reach measurable
conclusions about damages of the penetration seal. After the seismic test an additional firestop test was
conducted to evaluate permeability of smoke and fire integrity of the relevant firestop system.
Results
Significant factors that were measured: displacement (mm), movement force, pressure drop (Pa/min),
start of pressure drop (mm), % pressure drop, plastic deformation of penetrant (kN), absolute pressure
at start (Pa).
Determining factors: flexibility-elasticity, adhesion, tightness, damage to penetrants, installation reliability.
Outcome: recommendations for suitable and non-suitable firestop products, installation and design
recommendations.

Sub-structures for ventilated facade has been
tested in seismic
Ventilated facade present a risk of falling down in case of earthquake. The French state of the art defines a
seismic test method for the entire system.
A design method based on EN 1998-1-1 (Eurocode 8) for non structural elements is also defined
(document CSTB 3725 dated January 2013).
For more information, please contact our technical back office.
Test setup
Three tests are defined:
Required displacement
■ Parallelogram test: This test is performed to observe the behaviour of the system to follow the
movement of the building on which it is fixed. The ventilated facade is installed on a rigid frame
(3 000 x 3 000 mm) fixed on the bottom. The support is gradually deformed in its plane (parallelogram)
by a static displacement applied at the head according to the cycles predefined.
The maximum displacement is ± 60 mm.
A visual control is done on fall elements, breakage or deformation of a component system.

Dynamic test
■ Dynamic test: This test is to observe the behavior of the system when the support on which it is
mounted is moving in its plane under the action a cyclic reciprocating motion imposed. The ventilated
facade is installed on a rigid frame (3 000 x 3 000 mm) on gliders. Cycles of movements are applied
around the frequency of the system. The maximum displacement is ± 60 mm. A visual control is done
on fall elements, breakage or deformation of a component system.
■ Dynamic perpendicular test: This test is the same as the dynamci test with movement perpendilar to its
plane

Installation systems need to be designed
specifically to resist of seismic loads
Pipes
For pipes installation, the basic principle is that the fastenings have to be designed so that the horizontal seismic loads can be
taken in addition to the gravity forces.
To take horizontal forces, the pipe fastenings must either be designed to be sufficiently flexurally stiff, or have bracing that can transfer the
horizontal forces (Fh). It must be ensured that horizontal loads can be taken transversely and longitudinally in relation to the pipe axis.

Seismic bracing
Braces for a earthquake-resistant installation need to be arranged at a distance (b) from each other that must be assessed in relation to
seismic acceleration, the mass of the pipes or (system in general) and the type of braces itself - i.e. the situation of the seismic brace
respect to the main axis of the pipe. For this reason, we can distinguish three basic types of seismic-resistant media:
■ Longitudinal bracing: seismic brace arranged longitudinally to the main direction of the plant - resistance to horizontal actions acting
along the main axis of the pipe
■ Transversal bracing: seismic brace perpendicular to the main direction of the plant - resistance to horizontal actions acting transversely
of the pipe
■ 4-way bracing: structure composed of both longitudinal and transversal braces, therefore able to withstand all of the forces acting on
the horizontal plane.
It is advantageous for the bracing to be at a spacing that is a multiple of the normal pipe fastening spacing of (s), so that, for example,
every third or fourth pipe fastening is braced.
