typical to 4 max typical
(i.e. Sec. 9.5.2.5.2.2 is now Sec. 12.5.3)
3. Simplify table and figure numbering
(i.e. Table 9.5.2.5.1 is now Table 12.6-1)
4. Create logical sequence of provisions aim at the structural engineering
community
5. Improve headings and clarify ambiguous provisions
2007 Structures Congress Seismic Design Under ASCE 7-2005 4

11.1 Purpose
“…specified earthquake loads are based upon
post-elastic energy dissipation in the
structure, and because of this fact, the
requirements for design, detailing, and
construction shall be satisfied even for
structures and members for which load
combos w/o EQ exceed those with EQ…”
2007 Structures Congress Seismic Design Under ASCE 7-2005 12
11.4 Seismic Ground Motions

12.6 Analysis Method Selection
Methods Defined
• Equivalent (Static) Lateral Force: ELF
• Modal Response Spectrum: MRS
• Seismic Response History (Linear and
Nonlinear): SRH (Defined in section 16)
Alternate classifications:
Static / Dynamic Max / Dynamic History
Linear / Nonlinear
2007 Structures Congress Seismic Design Under ASCE 7-2005 45
What type of Analysis?
• The answer depends on:
– what performance level you
are hoping to achieve
– the configuration of the
structure
– how accurate you need to be
• A wide range of choices
are available-
2007 Structures Congress Seismic Design Under ASCE 7-2005 46
Superior Performance Levels
• Behavior will be essentially elastic
– For regular structures with short periods, linear static
procedures are fine
– For regular structures with long periods and all
irregular structures - linear dynamic procedures are
better, response spectra accurate enough

Poorer Performance Levels
• Inelastic behavior is significant (elastic analyses
are the wrong approach!)
– For structures dominated by first mode response,
pushover analysis may be adequate
– For structures with significant hire mode response,
nonlinear time history necessary

ELF - Horizontal Distribution
• Distribute story shear to vertical elements
per relative stiffness of vertical elements and
diaphragm
• Account for computed (inherent) torsion - eccentricity
between mass and resistance
• Add accidental torsion, except for flexible diaphragms
• Amplify torsion if torsionally irregular

• Include enough modes to obtain a combined
modal mass participation of at least 90% of
the actual mass in each of the orthogonal
directions of response
• Short period branch of spectrum is usable
• Divide spectrum by (R/I) to obtain force
responses

Scaling Modal Results
• Compute limiting base shear, V, by ELF; if
T exceeds CuTa, then use T = CuTa
• Compare 85% of this force with combined
modal base shear, Vt
• If Vt < 0.85V then multiply all combined
response quantities from modal analysis by
0.85V / Vt

Editor's Notes

  • #18: Cumulative nature of Provisions. Since SDC based on SUG and Sa, Provisions address detailing for performance and design load levels. Large jump in requirements from A to B and from C to D. SDC A - seismic design not required, but structural integrity highly recommended. SDC D - higher seismic areas and where structure's use fills vital public need. (May turn back slide to stress these points.)
  • #27: Framing system in buildings in SPC B and above must be classed and appropriate R, 0, and Cd factors (Table 3.3) selected. R, Response Modification Factor, is a measure of ability of structure to dissipate earthquake energy inelastically; varies widely based on material and system. 0 is a system overstrength factor used to predict the maximum force that might develop in a structure subject to strong ground motion and designed according to the Provisions. Cd factor used to magnify displacements from elastic analysis for reduced forces to reflect expected total deflection, elastic and inelastic. The estimate for R is intended to be somewhat of a lower estimate. The estimate for the other two is intended to be somewhat of an upper estimate.
  • #35: Note: this will be discussed in more detail in another lesson devoted to diaphragms. Diaphragm flexibility is defined for several common cases. However, this definition does not cover all structures. Some cases with intermediate flexiblity should be checked both ways. Also refer to example in Guide of one story frame with steel deck. These definitions (essentially) appeared in the 1988 UBC, but many professionals specializing in wood framed structures were not cognizant of that fact. Following the publishing of design examples by SEAOC in about 1998, a controversy arose in the profession. It is likely that wood diaphragms supported by wood shear walls will be allowed to be analyzed as if the diaphragm were flexible.
  • #36: All issues affect seismic forces. Specific classification of irregularities based on shape used for requirements in Provisions. Regularity or irregularity of building determines minimum analysis procedure. Recall ELF based upon ideally uniform building. Irregularity does not affect analysis procedures until SDC D; but, irregularities must be identified even in SPCs B and C, since some irregularities create requirements on subjects other than analysis.
  • #37: Building irregular if has at least one of irregularities listed. Design reference sections for plan irregularities are as noted on slide. Each type of irregularity illustrated in a subsequent lesson.
  • #38: Building irregular if has at least one of irregularities listed. Vertical irregularities can cause serious problems; can create force distributions which vary significantly from distribution described in Chapter Four (based on regular structure). Each type of irregularity illustrated in a subsequent lesson.
  • #42: The quantitative requirement for redundancy is termed a reliability requirement. Note that it works two ways: a force penalty is imposed on systems with less than desirable redundancy, and a minimum amount of redundancy is required for certain systems and SDC’s.
  • #43: Northridge earthquake experience was impetus for introducing . There were many moment resisting frames with one bay per frame and two frames per direction, thus giving a system with poor redundancy.
  • #56: Since many calculations depend on h, height above base, definition of base of structure greatly affects design force determination. NEHRP Provisions provide definition in Chapter Two: "the level at which the horizontal seismic ground motions are considered to be imparted to the building." Dynamic response is key factor; gross changes in stiffness, such as foundation wall, can be considered the base. Examples on slide show that grade level is not necessarily base of structure. Configuration of basements affect determination of base: (a) shows flexible superstructure on rigid foundation; (b) shows structure with negligible change in stiffness at grade. See also example in Chapter 3 of Guide.
  • #59: When k = 1, vertical distribution of lateral forces is linear; when k = 2, distribution is parabolic. For periods between 0.5 and 2.5 seconds, k = 0.75+.5T. Note: k used to account for higher mode effects.
  • #60: Present Sections 5.3.5, distribution of shears and moments. Note: this distribution of story forces gives envelope of story shears from modal analyses of uniform and regular buildings. Story forces are not themselves an envelope.
  • #61: Wording established before age of 3D frame analysis. Amplification factor for torsion is similar to a ratio of spectral acceleration to ground acceleration. It applies only for rigid diaphragm buildings. For buildings with the vertical elements of the lateral force resisting system concentrated in a core area, this amplification can be very significant.
  • #62: 3 dimensional modal analysis automatically accounts for amplification of computed torsion, but not accidental. Maximum Ax = 3.0.
  • #63: Note: ELF story shears are upper bounds; may produce overly conservative estimates of overturning moment. Thus, reductions in overturning moment have been traditionally allowed. The period limit of 3.5 Ts for use of the ELF method effectively renders such a device unnecessary.
  • #64: Note: drift defined only on a story basis, not an overall basis.
  • #65: Introduce P-delta effect.
  • #66: Note: Cd in denominator means that inelastic displacements are ignored; stability analysis based on initial elastic stiffness. Upper limit on theta (thetamax) in provisions introduced to address this problem. thetamax = 0.5/(Cd) < 0.25 but not shown on slide. It is based upon stability at full residual displacement.
  • #67: Procedure only takes into account structural P-delta effect; local, "P-", effect missed since derivation ignores curvature in vertical member (thus underestimates true response). For frame with rigid girders and flexible columns,  could be as much as 22% greater.
  • #73: Note: in general, the base shear for modal analysis less than that for ELF. Dynamic analysis is preferred over static analysis. This particular comparison has changed in the 1997 edition.
  • #74: Most standard analysis programs can do these items. Note: many analysts include accidental torsion by applying horizontal moment rather than actually offsetting mass, but this depends on the capability of the particular software. In addition to masses, 3-D analysis with the rigid diaphragm assumption requires calculation of mass moments of inertia. This is illustrated in Chapter 3 of Guide.
