 EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION

▰ The ground motion at the site due to an earthquake is a complex

phenomena and depends on several parameters such as
▻ earthquake magnitude
▻ focal depth
▻ earthquake source characteristics
▻ distance from earthquake epicenter, wave path characteristics,
as well as local soil conditions at the site.

SEISMIC ZONING

▰ The intent of the seismic zoning map is to give an indication of the Maximum
Considered Earthquake (MCE) motion at different parts of the country.
▰ In probabilistic terms, the MCE motion may be considered to correspond to
having a 2% probability of exceedance within a period of 50 years.
▰ The seismic zoning map divides the country into four seismic zones with
different expected levels of intensity of ground motion.
▰ Each zone has a seismic zone coefficient (Z) which represents the maximum
considered peak ground acceleration (PGA) on very stiff soil/rock (site class
SA) in units of g (acceleration due to gravity).

RESPONSE SPECTRUM

▰ Response means motion of structure in response to a base excitation

(earthquake motion)
▰ For earthquake resistant design, the entire time history of response may not be
required. Maximum value of response of a structure to particular base motion is
important.
▰ The response spectrum describes the maximum response (maximum
displacement, velocity, acceleration, or any other quantity of interest) of a SDOF
system to a particular input motion as function of natural frequency (or period)
of the system and damping ratio

RESPONSE SPECTRUM

▰ Natural Period Tn of a building is the time taken by it to undergo one complete

cycle of oscillation. It is an inherent property of a building controlled by its
mass, m and stiffness, k.
▰ Usually, natural periods (Tn) of 1 to 20 storey normal reinforced concrete and
steel buildings are in the range of 0.05 - 2.00s.
▰ Frequencies of ground-motion for engineering purposes
▻ Up to 0.1 to 10 Hz (T=0.1 to 10 sec)
▻ Resonant period of typical N story structure ~ N/10 sec

DESIGN RESPONSE SPECTRUM

▰ The earthquake ground motion for which the building has to be designed is represented by the
design response spectrum.
▰ Both static and dynamic analysis methods are based on this response spectrum.
▰ This spectrum represents the spectral acceleration for which the building has to be designed as a
function of the building period, taking into account the ground motion intensity.
▰ The spectrum is based on elastic analysis but in order to account for energy dissipation due to
inelastic deformation and benefits of structural redundancy, the spectral accelerations are reduced
by the response modification factor R.
▰ For important structures, the spectral accelerations are increased by the importance factor I.

 STATIC ANALYSIS PROCEDURE

▰ Although analysis of buildings subjected to dynamic earthquake loads should

theoretically require dynamic analysis procedures, for certain type of building
structures subjected to earthquake shaking, simplified static analysis
procedures may also provide reasonably good results.
▰ The equivalent static force method is such a procedure for determining the
seismic lateral forces acting on the structure.

Mohaiminul Haque 56

Assistant Professor, Dept. of CEE, SUST

EQUIVALENT STATIC ANALYSIS

▰ To perform equivalent static analysis the following two conditions need to be

fulfilled
a. The building period in the two main horizontal directions is smaller than
both 4TC (TC is defined in Section 2.5.6.3) and 2 sec.
b. The building doesn’t possess irregularity in elevation as defined in Section
2.5.7.3.
