Engr. Thaung Htut Aung M. Eng. Asian Institute of Technology Deputy Project Director, AIT Consulting • Selection of Structural systems – Load paths – Materials – Approximate sizing of members – Primary mechanisms of inelastic behavior • Review in terms of – Dynamic response parameters • Mode shapes, natural periods, modal participating mass ratios – Lateral load response parameters • Base shear, base moment, lateral displacement, story drift, shear distribution between frame and shear walls 3 • The Gravity Load Resisting System – The structural system (beams, slab, girders, columns, etc) that act primarily to support the gravity or vertical loads • The Lateral Load Resisting System – The structural system (columns, shear walls, bracing, etc) that primarily acts to resist the lateral loads • The Floor Diaphragm – The structural system that transfers lateral loads to the lateral load resisting system and provides in-plane floor stiffness Source: NEHRP Seismic Design Technical Brief No. 3 6 Purpose “To transfer lateral loads applied at any location in the structure down to the foundation level” • Primary Lateral Loads – Load generated by Wind Pressure – Load generated due to Seismic Excitation • In low seismic zones, expected ground motion will not produce the same large inelastic response demands that would occur in high seismic zones. • When the seismic force is small compared to the gravity load and wind load requirements, there is more reserve strength to resist seismic forces. • Permit to use systems and configurations with lower energy dissipation capabilities in low seismic zones such as concrete intermediate and ordinary moment-resisting frames, and concrete braced frames. • In high seismic zones, usually systems with high energy dissipation capacities are allowed. 8 Parameter Value Spectral acceleration (5% damped) at short periods (0.2 s) of horizontal ground motion 0.77 g (2500-yr. return period), S S Spectral acceleration (5% damped) at long periods (1 s) of horizontal ground motion 0.31 g (2500-yr. return period), S 1 Spectral acceleration (5% damped) at short periods (0.2 s) of horizontal ground motion 0.91 g (2500-yr. return period) adjusted for site class effects, S MS Spectral acceleration (5% damped) at long periods (1 s) of horizontal ground motion 0.88 g (2500-yr. return period) adjusted for site class effects, S M1 Design spectral acceleration (5% damped) at short periods (0.2 s) of horizontal ground 0.60 g motion, S DS Design spectral acceleration (5% damped) at short periods (1 s) of horizontal ground 0.58 g motio, S D1 Site class E Short period site coefficient, F 1.176 a Long period site coefficient, F 2.76 v Response modification coefficient, R (Dual system, Shear wall + IMRF) 6.5 10
