Tolerable Level

A procedure for earthquake-resistant design is developed to limit the potential damage of buildings to a tolerable level. The procedure is based on the damage model developed earlier (Park and Ang, 1984) in which structural damage is expressed as a function of the maximum deformation and dissipated hysteretic energy. The tolerable degree of damage is defined on the basis of calibration with observed damages from past major earthquakes. The design method is examined in the context of reliability.

<p>Ferrocement thin walls are the structural elements that comprise the earthquake resistant system of dwellings built with this material. This article presents the results drawn from an experimental campaign carried out over full-scale precast ferrocement thin walls that were assessed under lateral static loading conditions. The tests allowed the identification of structural parameters and the evaluation of the performance of the walls under static loading conditions. Additionally, an isotropic damage model for modelling the mortar was applied, as well as the classic elasto-plastic theory for modelling the meshes and reinforcing bars. The ferrocement is considered as a composite material, thus the serial/parallel mix theory is used for modelling its mechanical behavior. In this work a methodology for the numerical analysis that allows modeling the nonlinear behavior exhibited by ferrocement walls under static loading conditions, as well as their potential use in earthquake resistant design, is proposed.</p>

Sufficient Strength

The basis for modern earthquake resistant design can be considered to be a two stage process the objectives of which can be summarised as follows: Provide the structure with sufficient strength and stiffness to resist moderate earthquakes so that the frequency of occurrence of structural and non-structural damage is acceptably low, and Ensure that the probability of collapse of the structure and the risk to life in a severe earthquake is acceptably low. The first stage can be satisfied by seismic zoning to ensure that
the risk of damage to structures of similar structural type is acceptable and approximately uniform over the whole country and by restricting interstorey deflections under moderate earthquakes. The second stage can be satisfied by the use of structural type factors. In particular, this study explains how these principles were used to develop seismic zones and evaluate lateral loadings for Earthquake Resistant Design for Buildings in Papua New Guinea.

ABSTRACTThe September 19, 1985, Mexico earthquake reminded scientists and engineers of the importance of considering soil amplification effects in earthquake-resistant design. The Mexico earthquake illustrated the “worst case”—the ground response and the building response occurring at approximately the same period, 2 seconds. This resonance phenomenon was predictable on the basis of similar experiences in past earthquakes. A number of areas in the United States also exhibit significant predictable soil amplification effects. Special steps are needed in these areas to mitigate the potential damage and losses that could occur in future earthquakes.
