Earthquake Design Considerations

       By Dr. N. Subramanian
           3rd Nov. 2012




             Dr. N. Subramanian
Pounding between adjoining
buildings due to horizontal vibrations




               Dr. N. Subramanian
More mass on
one side causes the floors to twist




             Dr. N. Subramanian
One-side open ground storey building
 twists during earthquake shaking




              Dr. N. Subramanian
Unequal vertical members cause
building to twist about a vertical axis




                Dr. N. Subramanian
Waves of different periods




If the ground is shaken by earthquake waves that have short periods, then
short period buildings will have large response.
Similarly, if the earthquake ground motion has long period waves, then long
period buildings will have larger response.
                               Dr. N. Subramanian
Soil condition at site may influence
                damage

Base Isolation Technology
 One of the most
  significant
  developments in
  earthquake
  engineering in the
  past 35 years.

 It provides the
  design profession
  the ability to design
  a building that is
  “operational” after a
  major earthquake
                          Base isolated structure   Conventional structure


                               Dr.N.Subramanian                         44
BASE ISOLATOR
                       Base isolators may be
                       either coiled springs
                       or laminated rubber-
                       bearing pads, made of
                       alternate layers of
                       steel and rubber, and
                       have a low lateral
                       stiffness.




    Dr.N.Subramanian                   45
Examples of Base Isolated Systems

event. Every isolator will extend in any
direction 21 inches.
                            San Francisco Airport International
                            Terminal is the World’s Largest Base
                            Isolated Building
                                Dr.N.Subramanian                   46
Energy Absorbing Devices
• “Passive energy dissipation is an emerging
  technology that enhances the performance of
  buildings by adding damping to buildings.”
• (ASCE/SEI 41-06, pg 280)




                     Dr.N.Subramanian           47
Commonly used dampers
 Viscous dampers (They consist of a piston-cylinder
  arrangement filled with a viscous silicon based fluid,
  which absorbs the energy)
 Friction dampers (energy is absorbed by the friction
  between two layers, which are made to rub against
  each other).
 Hysteretic dampers (energy is absorbed by yielding
  metallic parts)
 Visco-elastic dampers (containing visco-elastic
  material, sandwiched between two steel plates, which
  undergoes shear deformation, thus dissipating energy.
                       Dr.N.Subramanian                48
Other Types Of Dampers
 Tuned mass dampers (TMD)- They are extra
  masses attached to the structure by a spring-
  dashpot system and designed to vibrate out of
  phase with the structure.
 Tuned liquid dampers (TLD) – They are essentially
  water tanks mounted on structures and dissipate
  energy by the splashing of the water.
 Hydraulic activators- They are active vibration
  control devices and have a sensor to sense the
  vibration and activate the activator to counter it. -
  Require external energy source and are expensive.

                       Dr.N.Subramanian              49
Why Use Dampers?
Dampers dramatically decrease earthquake induced
  motion .
 Less displacement : over 50% reduction in drift in
  many cases
 Decreased base shear and inter-story shear, up to 40%
 Much lower “g” forces in the structure. Equipment
  keeps working and people are not injured
 Reduced displacements and forces can mean less
  steel. This offsets the damper cost and can sometimes
  even reduce overall cost.

Viscous Damper




    Dr.N.Subramanian   51
Example- Viscous damper




        Dr. N. Subramanian
Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)




Taipei 101, the world's second tallest skyscraper is equipped with a tuned mass
damper. This 18 feet dia.,730-ton TMD acts like a giant pendulum to counteract the
building's movement--reducing sway due to wind by 30 to 40 %. Cost: $4 million
