8 General Philosoph of Seismic Design It is accepted worldwide that the design should accomplish the following objectives: 1. Prevent nonstructural damage in minor earthquake ground shakings, which ma occur frequentl during the service life of the structure. 2. Prevent structural damage and minimize nonstructural damage during moderate earthquake ground shakings, which ma occasionall occur. 3. Avoid collapse or serious damage during severe earthquake ground shakings, which ma rarel occur.

13 Nonlinear Inelastic Behavior Dead load Lateral load Idealized behavior (elastoplastic) Actual behavior Lateral load Lateral displacement Lateral displacement Yielding displacement of idealized behavior Photos from Dr. Jun-ichi Sakai (TIT) Actual ielding displacement Definition of Ke Parameters of Elastoplastic Sstem Consider an elastic sstem and an elastoplastic sstem subjected to an earthquake. The following figure show the envelop curve. Lateral load uo = maximum displacement of an elastic sstem f o fo = maximum force of an elastic sstem u = ielding displacement of an elastoplastic sstem f um = maximum displacement of an elastoplastic sstem f = ielding force of an elastoplastic sstem u uo um Lateral displacement um fo ductilit factor ( μ ) = Force reduction factor ( R) = u f 13
14 Constant-Ductilit Response Spectrum For design purposes, it is desired to determine the ield strength of the sstem for a certain design ductilit factor. It can be accomplished b resorting to a constant-ductilit response spectrum. The conventional elastic response spectrum can be considered as a constant-ductilit response spectrum with a ductilit factor of 1. How should we present the response spectrum? stiffness mass pseudo-acceleration A f = ku = m u = m u = ma = w g natural angular frequenc weight 2 2 Yield strength ( ω ) ( ω ) A g Ductilit factor Natural period How to Construct Constant-Ductilit Response Spectrum? 1. Define a ground motion. 2. Fix a mass and a damping ratio (tpicall 0.05). 3. Set a natural period T. 4. Determine response of a linear sstem. f o f o f u o 5. Set a target ductilit factor μ t 6. Determine response of an elastoplastic sstem with f < fo assumed 7. Compute a response ductilit um factor μ r = u 8. If μr μt > tolerance 0, repeat Step 6 b changing f until μr μt tolerance. Then keep u and f 9. Repeat Step 5 for a different target ductilit factor. 10. Repeat Step 3 for a different natural period. 11. Plot a constant-ductilit response spectrum. 2 A ω u = g g μ t u u o um T 14

A ( μ, T) = f f ( μ, T) = A ( μ = 1, T ) R( μ, T) ( μ = 1, T ) R( μ, T) T 15

Proposed empirical model vs. mean force reduction factor 16
17 Approximation of Force Reduction Factor: Equal-Displacement Approximation It is assumed that the maximum displacement of an inelastic sstem is equal to the maximum displacement of an elastic sstem. This assumption is considered applicable to long-period structures. This assumption is used in US and NZ. Lateral load uo = maximum displacement of an elastic sstem f o fo = maximum force of an elastic sstem u = ielding displacement of an elastoplastic sstem f um = maximum displacement of an elastoplastic sstem Lateral f = ielding force of an elastoplastic sstem displacement u u m = u u Ductilit factor ( μ) = u o m fo uo u μ u m Force reduction factor ( R) = = = = = μ f u u u R = μ Approximation of Force Reduction Factor: Equal-Energ Approximation It is assumed that the strain energ of an inelastic sstem is equal to the strain energ of an elastic sstem. This assumption is used in Japan. Lateral load f o f u uo um equal Lateral displacement u = maximum displacement of an elastic sstem f u u f o o m = maximum force of an elastic sstem = ielding displacement of an elastoplastic sstem = maximum displacement of an elastoplastic sstem = ielding force of an elastoplastic sstem Formulation: = 1 f ( um uo) = ( uo u)( fo f) 2 17
18 Approximation of Force Reduction Factor: Equal-Energ Approximation 1 f( um uo) = ( uo u)( fo f) 2 1 u f( μu uo) = ( fo f)( fo f) 2 f fu o 1 u f ( μu ) = ( fo f)( fo f) f 2 f fo 1 u fu ( μ ) = ( fo f)( fo f) f 2 f fo 1 1 μ = 2 ( fo f )( fo f ) f 2 f fo 1 f ( o f 1)( o μ = 1) f 2 f f 1 μ R= ( R 1)( R 1) 2 2μ 2R= R 2 2R + 1 R = 2μ 1 Lateral load f o f u uo um equal Lateral displacement R = 2μ 1 Comparison of Force Reduction Factors and Soft Soil (Kawashima and Watanabe (2003) Not conservative at short periods Taking account of the considerable scattering of the force reduction factors depending on the ground motions, it is conservative to assume the equal energ assumption instead of the equal displacement assumption for the evaluation of the force reduction factors 18
