Why ?
 Life safety criteria : If the building has not partly or
fully collapsed, life is saved
 Reparability criteria : If the building is still
standing, it can be repaired and/or strengthened
Design Philosophy
Design Philosophy
 a)Under minor shaking, structural members should not be
damaged; however building parts that do not carry load may
sustain repairable damage.
Design Philosophy
 b) Structure should be able to resist occasional moderate
ground shaking without significant damage
Design Philosophy
 c) Structure should be able to resist major earthquakes without
collapse
Earthquake Resistant Design
We thrive for
Earthquake resistant design &
construction
not
Earthquake proof
Earthquake Resistant Design
No earthquake-proof buildings that will not get
damaged even during the strong earthquake -
Instead, earthquake resistant building.
such buildings resist the effects of ground shaking,
although they may get damaged severely but
would not collapse during the strong earthquake.
Thus, safety of people and contents is assured in
earthquake-resistant buildings, and thereby a
disaster is avoided.
This is a major objective of seismic design codes
throughout the world.
Damage - Unavoidable
Different types of damage occur in
buildings during earthquakes. Some of
these cracks are acceptable (in terms of
both their size and location), while others
are not.
earthquake resistant design involves
controlling the damage to acceptable levels
at a reasonable cost.
Damages during earthquakes should be of the acceptable variety,
and also that they occur at the right places and in right amounts.
To save the building from collapsing, you need to allow some
pre-determined parts to undergo the acceptable type and level of
damage.
What does this mean ?
 Buildings and other structures are designed for much lesser
load than imparted by a large earthquakes
 Why?
– Affordability
– Large earthquakes are rare
– Properly designed Buildings has Ductility, Redundancy
– Building has over strength due to considered safety factors
in loads and materials

Kashmir Earthquake. October 8, 2005
Earthquake load as per
code
 In Ordinary Load design (dead/ Imposed, wind
etc), it is expected that structure will essentially
remain elastic even during severe most design
loading
Ordinary Load vs Earthquake Load
 Where as in earthquake resistant design it is
expected that structure could go in inelastic
regime and suffer severe damage during a major
earthquake
Gravity Loading
 Dead Load: self-weight, superimposed
load - The dead loading is calculated from
the designed member sizes and estimated
material densities
 Imposed load: occupancy type - The
magnitudes of live loading specified in the
codes are estimates based on a combination
of experience and results of typical field
surveys
Lateral Loading
 Earth pressure – Predominantly static
type of loading; calculated from
density and depth
 Wind – Dynamic - pressure on
exposed surface area
 Earthquake – Dynamic - Random
motion of the ground at the base
Earthquake vs. Wind Loading
Dynamic actions are caused on
buildings by both wind and
earthquakes.
But, design for wind forces and for
earthquake effects are distinctly
different.
Earthquake vs. Wind Loading
Design for Wind Loading
wind design:
– is force-type loading - use force
design, wherein the building is
subjected
to a pressure on its exposed surface
area.
Design for Earthquake Loading
the building is subjected to random
motion of the ground at its base -
which induces inertia forces in the
building that in turn cause stresses.
Displacement loading
Earthquake load as per nbc 105 and is 1893
Earthquake Loading
Concentrates particularly on the translational
inertia forces, whose effects on a building are
normally more significant than the vertical or
rotational shaking component
Earthquake loading
consists of the inertial
forces of the building
mass that result from
the shaking of its
foundation by a
seismic activity.
Earthquake induced inertia force:
• The mass of the building.
• Building Stiffness.
Elastic behavior without damage render the
project economically unviable.
As a consequence, it may be necessary for the
structure to undergo damage and thereby
dissipate the energy input to it during the
earthquake.
Thus the basic philosophy:
a) Minor (and frequent) shaking with no
damage to structural and non-structural
elements;
b) Moderate shaking with minor damage to
structural elements, and some damage to
non-structural elements; and
c) Severe (and infrequent) shaking with
damage to structural elements, but with NO
collapse (to save life and property
inside/adjoining the building).
Buildings are designed only for a fraction
(~8-26%) of the force that they would
experience, if they were designed to remain
elastic during the expected strong ground
shaking, and thereby permitting damage.
But, sufficient initial stiffness is required to be
ensured to avoid structural damage under
minor shaking.
Thus the basic philosophy:
The design for only a fraction of the elastic
level of seismic forces is possible, only if the
building can stably withstand large
displacement demand through structural
damage without collapse and undue loss of
strength. (Ductility)
It is relatively simple to design structures to
possess certain lateral strength and initial
stiffness by appropriately proportioning the
size and material of the members. But,
achieving sufficient ductility is more involved
and requires extensive laboratory tests on
full-scale specimen to identify preferable
methods of detailing.
Thus, seismic design balances reduced cost
and acceptable damage, to make the
project viable. This careful balance is arrived
based on extensive research and detailed
post-earthquake damage assessment
studies.
design against earthquake effects is called
as earthquake-resistant design and not
earthquake-proof design.
 An earthquake-resistant building has four
virtues
– Good Seismic Configuration
– Minimum Lateral Stiffness
– Minimum Lateral Strength
– Good Overall Ductility
Steps
– Configuration (simple geometry, plan
aspect ratio, slenderness ration)
– Adopt a structural system that will resist
the vertical and lateral loads offering
direct load paths in both plan
directions of the building
Steps
– Identify a desired collapse mechanism
– analysis
– Verify, if the desired mechanism is
generated in the building (push over/
time history)
– Detailing
Static - Seismic Coefficient Method

• Irregular buildings in plan and/ or elevation
• Buildings with abrupt change in strength and
stiffness in plan and elevation
• Buildings with unusual shape, size, importance

Fundamental Time Period
 The time taken (in seconds) for each complete
cycle of oscillation (i.e., one complete back-and-
forth motion) is the same and is called
Fundamental Natural Period “T” of the building.
 “T” depends on the building flexibility and mass.
 More the flexibility, the longer is the T, and more
the mass, the longer is the T.
 In general, taller buildings are more flexible and
have larger mass, and therefore have a longer T.
 On the contrary, low- to medium-rise buildings
generally have shorter T.
Equivalent Static Lateral Force
 Determine design base shear based on
 seismic hazard,
 building use group,
 total building mass,
 and building fundamental period
Equivalent Static Lateral Force
 Distribute base shear to building stories based on
story masses and elevations
 Design for story forces applied in each orthogonal
direction
 Also, ensure inelastic story drift does not exceed

Thus the basic philosophy: a) Minor (and frequent) shaking with no damage to structural and non-structural elements; b) Moderate shaking with minor damage to structural elements, and some damage to non-structural elements; and c) Severe (and infrequent) shaking with damage to structural elements, but with NO collapse (to save life and property inside/adjoining the building).
  • 31. Buildings are designed only for a fraction (~8-26%) of the force that they would experience, if they were designed to remain elastic during the expected strong ground shaking, and thereby permitting damage. But, sufficient initial stiffness is required to be ensured to avoid structural damage under minor shaking.
  • 32. Thus the basic philosophy:
  • 33. The design for only a fraction of the elastic level of seismic forces is possible, only if the building can stably withstand large displacement demand through structural damage without collapse and undue loss of strength. (Ductility)
  • 34. It is relatively simple to design structures to possess certain lateral strength and initial stiffness by appropriately proportioning the size and material of the members. But, achieving sufficient ductility is more involved and requires extensive laboratory tests on full-scale specimen to identify preferable methods of detailing.
  • 35. Thus, seismic design balances reduced cost and acceptable damage, to make the project viable. This careful balance is arrived based on extensive research and detailed post-earthquake damage assessment studies. design against earthquake effects is called as earthquake-resistant design and not earthquake-proof design.
  • 36.  An earthquake-resistant building has four virtues – Good Seismic Configuration – Minimum Lateral Stiffness – Minimum Lateral Strength – Good Overall Ductility
  • 37. Steps – Configuration (simple geometry, plan aspect ratio, slenderness ration) – Adopt a structural system that will resist the vertical and lateral loads offering direct load paths in both plan directions of the building
  • 38. Steps – Identify a desired collapse mechanism – analysis – Verify, if the desired mechanism is generated in the building (push over/ time history) – Detailing

  • 42. Fundamental Time Period  The time taken (in seconds) for each complete cycle of oscillation (i.e., one complete back-and- forth motion) is the same and is called Fundamental Natural Period “T” of the building.  “T” depends on the building flexibility and mass.  More the flexibility, the longer is the T, and more the mass, the longer is the T.  In general, taller buildings are more flexible and have larger mass, and therefore have a longer T.  On the contrary, low- to medium-rise buildings generally have shorter T.
