John Smeaton
Father of Civil Engineering
( 1724 – 1792 )
Civil Engineers are self created set of
Men, whose profession owes its origin
not to power or influence ; but to the
encouragement of a great & powerful
nation.
We civil Ers/Ars can contribute
Significantly towards above cause
History of Civil Engg
 In the beginning,Civil Engineering included all engineers that did not
practice military engineering; said to have begun in 18th century France.
 First “Civil Engineer” was an Englishman, John Smeaton in 1761.
 Civil engineers have saved more lives than all the doctors in history —
development of clean water and sanitation systems.
 Henry H.White, first KY Civil Engineering Graduate from Bacon
(Georgetown)College in 1840.
• Fall of 1886, “State College” (UK) established civil engineering
degree.
• JohnWesley Gunn of Lexington received first Civil Engineering degree
fromA & M College (UK) in 1890.
 Constructing earthquake resistant structures is the best opportunity to
save lives of human beings – A second opportunity.

What is RVS?
RapidVisual Screening (RVS) is a cheap and fast
procedure in assessing the safety of buildings
and classifying them according to the risk
that they pose in times of strong
earthquakes.
Primarily
(1) identify the primary structural lateral load-
resisting system, and
(2) identify building attributes that modify the
seismic performance expected for this
lateral load-resisting system along with non-
structural components

Q4. Does the building have slander
columns and deep beams at any of the
beam-column junctions?
Q7. Are adjoining buildings or adjoining
parts of the same building separated by
less than 2% of the height of the
building?
Q12. Are the main load bearing columns
oriented along the length of the
building plan?
Pounding
Q17. Did the building suffer
any significant damage in
the past due to earthquake
or other hazards?
57
On December 19, 2011, 8 people killed and 3 injured in a bridge
collapse at Rangchang Khola, about 18 kms from Singtam towards
Dikchu on the Singtam-Mangan highway. The incident took place
when a 48-wheeler heavy trailer carrying transformer of Teesta Urja
Project to its project site in North Sikkim was attempting to cross the
bridge span.
Q18. Does the building
possess any seismic
retrofitting or
strengthening measures?

RVS - Rapid Visual Screening
 (1) identify the primary structural lateral load-
resisting system, and
 (2) identify building attributes that modify the
seismic performance expected for this lateral
load-resisting system.
 (3)The screening is based on numerical seismic
hazard and vulnerability score.The scores are
based on the expected ground shaking levels in
the region as well as the seismic design and
construction practices for the city or region.
Rapid visual screening (RVS)
 Purpose of RVS is to classify “those acceptable
as to risk to life safety or those that may be
seismically hazardous” (FEMA, 2002a).
 RVS scores are a quantitative measure of the
probability of collapse and collapse is the
predominant determinant of life safety risk for
buildings.
 RVS scores are useful in the evaluation of life
safety risk and in the prioritization of seismic
retrofit programs for populations of buildings.
LevelsofAnalyses
 1. Rapid visual screening (RVS) procedure requiring only visual
evaluation and limited additional information (Level 1 procedure).This
procedure is recommended for all buildings.
 2. Simplified vulnerability assessment (SVA) procedure requiring
limited engineering analysis based on information from visual
observations and structural drawings or on-site measurements (Level
2 procedure).This procedure is recommended for all buildings with
high concentration of people.
 3. Detailed vulnerability assessment (DVA) procedure requiring
detailed computer analysis, similar to or more complex than that
required for design of a new building (Level 3 procedure).This
procedure is recommended for all important and lifeline buildings.
Use of RVS
To identify if a particular building requires further evaluation for
assessment of its seismic vulnerability.
2.To rank a city’s or community’s (or organisation’s seismic
rehabilitation needs.
3.To design seismic risk management program for a city or a
community.
4.To plan post-earthquake building safety evaluation efforts.
5.To develop building-specific seismic vulnerability information for
purposes such as regional rating, prioritisation for redevelopment
etc.
6.To identify simplified retrofitting requirements for a particular
building (to collapse prevention level) where further evaluations
are not feasible.
7.To increase awareness among city residents regarding seismic
vulnerability of buildings.
Seismic vulnerability
classification
 Building types
 (1) masonry buildings,
 (2) RCC buildings,
 (3) steel buildings, and
 (4) timber buildings.
Site class as per FEMA 154
 Site class A - Hard rock with measured shear wave velocity
greater than 5,000 ft/sec.
 Site class B - Rock with shear wave velocity between 2,500
and 5,000 ft/sec
 Site class C -Very dense soil or soft rock [velocity between
1,200 and 2,500 ft/sec]
 Site class D - Stiff soil [velocity between 600 and 1,200
ft/sec]
 Site class E - Soil profile with velocity less than 600 ft/sec
 Site class F - Soils require site-specific evaluations
[liquefiable, peats, high plasticity, or very thick
soft/medium clays.
Building system performance
 Ductility.
 Strength and Stiffness.
 Bracing/Seismic Resistant Components.
 Braced frames .
 Moment resistant frames (generally of steel or reinforced concrete)
consist of beams connected to one or more columns to carry multi-
dimensional earthquake forces.
 Horizontal Diaphragms are floor and roof deck systems that carry
forces across the building to shear walls, braced frames, and/or
columns.
 Shear walls are large structural walls placed in a building to carry
forces from the roof and floor systems to the supporting foundation,
and into the soils.
 Cross walls are interior walls and partitions that are not necessarily
continuous to the foundations, but which are attached securely to two floor
diaphragms (the top side of a floor diaphragm to the underside of the floor
above) and that are stiff and strong enough to resist the independent
movement of the two connected diaphragms.
 Connections.
 Damping.
 Weight Distribution..
 Building Configuration.
 Foundation / Soil Characteristics. ground shaking frequency played a
significant role. Sites with rock close to or at the surface will be less likely to
amplify motion, and with such sites, generally, the farther from the source of
an earthquake, the less severe the motion.
 Resonance.
 Redundancy.

Geo-professional’s food for
action
 Earthquake information – IMD reaches to public by FAX after
USGS, despite having more than 100 seismographs in place
 Strong motion data – questionable integration and timely
dissemination among 17+ organisations?
 Seismic microzonation of Sikkim – a geologist’s mindgame – very
far from true ground reality – ignorance or incapacity or not yet
handled by abled geotechnicians?
 Earthquake Codes – elegant and accountable to less than 3% of
the country’s building stock. Majority in general use more “Steel”
than proper “ductile reinforcement”as per IS:13925
 Govt. reserves $1.5 billion / yr for up keeping 15000 KM hill roads –
where is the economy?
 Teesta Urja’s hydel project cost over run shoot up by 300% --yet to
start due to Geopolitics
 Govt. declared $5 billion aid package but no authentic damage
documents yet made acceptable to Central Govt. by Sikkim Govt.
113
RoadMap
 Masons construct buildings without
knowledge of disaster effects – skill building
 Enforcement of guidelines, Dev. Control
rules, NBC-2005 etc. – need a separate LAW
 Estd. Of Mega CivilWorks Haat/Mall – where a
citizen gets his house of choice with all
agencies under one roof
 Disaster museum – e.g. Hiroshima, Kobe
 Live demonstration of EQ. in a building with
people on board experiencing M-1 to M7.0
RoadMap –contd.
 Seismic observatories in association with
ISRO’s Bhuvan & Gagan mission – GIS mode
 Live demonstration of Geo-tectonic process &
Landslides, earthquake,Tsunami waves –
defining safe vs. vulnerable built environment
 Real life Performance of prototype buildings
subjected to Flood, cyclone, high
winds, fire, ..vis-a-vis good practice in the
country
 Museum for vernacular structures in the
country
“Roadmap”
Wheredoyouthinkwe are lacking?
 Knowledge & wisdom?

  • 72. Haity EQ. 2010 – before and after [importance of open space]
  • 73. RVS - Rapid Visual Screening  (1) identify the primary structural lateral load- resisting system, and  (2) identify building attributes that modify the seismic performance expected for this lateral load-resisting system.  (3)The screening is based on numerical seismic hazard and vulnerability score.The scores are based on the expected ground shaking levels in the region as well as the seismic design and construction practices for the city or region.
  • 74. Rapid visual screening (RVS)  Purpose of RVS is to classify “those acceptable as to risk to life safety or those that may be seismically hazardous” (FEMA, 2002a).  RVS scores are a quantitative measure of the probability of collapse and collapse is the predominant determinant of life safety risk for buildings.  RVS scores are useful in the evaluation of life safety risk and in the prioritization of seismic retrofit programs for populations of buildings.
  • 75. LevelsofAnalyses  1. Rapid visual screening (RVS) procedure requiring only visual evaluation and limited additional information (Level 1 procedure).This procedure is recommended for all buildings.  2. Simplified vulnerability assessment (SVA) procedure requiring limited engineering analysis based on information from visual observations and structural drawings or on-site measurements (Level 2 procedure).This procedure is recommended for all buildings with high concentration of people.  3. Detailed vulnerability assessment (DVA) procedure requiring detailed computer analysis, similar to or more complex than that required for design of a new building (Level 3 procedure).This procedure is recommended for all important and lifeline buildings.
  • 76. Use of RVS To identify if a particular building requires further evaluation for assessment of its seismic vulnerability. 2.To rank a city’s or community’s (or organisation’s seismic rehabilitation needs. 3.To design seismic risk management program for a city or a community. 4.To plan post-earthquake building safety evaluation efforts. 5.To develop building-specific seismic vulnerability information for purposes such as regional rating, prioritisation for redevelopment etc. 6.To identify simplified retrofitting requirements for a particular building (to collapse prevention level) where further evaluations are not feasible. 7.To increase awareness among city residents regarding seismic vulnerability of buildings.
  • 77. Seismic vulnerability classification  Building types  (1) masonry buildings,  (2) RCC buildings,  (3) steel buildings, and  (4) timber buildings.
  • 78. Site class as per FEMA 154  Site class A - Hard rock with measured shear wave velocity greater than 5,000 ft/sec.  Site class B - Rock with shear wave velocity between 2,500 and 5,000 ft/sec  Site class C -Very dense soil or soft rock [velocity between 1,200 and 2,500 ft/sec]  Site class D - Stiff soil [velocity between 600 and 1,200 ft/sec]  Site class E - Soil profile with velocity less than 600 ft/sec  Site class F - Soils require site-specific evaluations [liquefiable, peats, high plasticity, or very thick soft/medium clays.
  • 79. Building system performance  Ductility.  Strength and Stiffness.  Bracing/Seismic Resistant Components.  Braced frames .  Moment resistant frames (generally of steel or reinforced concrete) consist of beams connected to one or more columns to carry multi- dimensional earthquake forces.  Horizontal Diaphragms are floor and roof deck systems that carry forces across the building to shear walls, braced frames, and/or columns.  Shear walls are large structural walls placed in a building to carry forces from the roof and floor systems to the supporting foundation, and into the soils.
  • 80.  Cross walls are interior walls and partitions that are not necessarily continuous to the foundations, but which are attached securely to two floor diaphragms (the top side of a floor diaphragm to the underside of the floor above) and that are stiff and strong enough to resist the independent movement of the two connected diaphragms.  Connections.  Damping.  Weight Distribution..  Building Configuration.  Foundation / Soil Characteristics. ground shaking frequency played a significant role. Sites with rock close to or at the surface will be less likely to amplify motion, and with such sites, generally, the farther from the source of an earthquake, the less severe the motion.  Resonance.  Redundancy.
  • 81. Building survey in East Delhi  Lalita park building collapse – 71 died, 65 injured  Judicial inquiry commission by Delhi Govt.  Forensic investigation – NIDM (Jan-Apr 2011)  Structural safety of all buildings in east Delhi – NIDM (May 2011 to till date)
