14 Characteristics of elastic response spectra 14

15 Characteristics of elastic response spectra For T n <T a pseudo-acceleration A is close to spectral displacement D is small u g 0 For T n >T f spectral displacement D is close to spectral pseudo-acceleration A is small Between T a and T c A > u g 0 u g 0 Between T b and T c A can be considered constant Between T d and T f D > u g 0 Between T d and T e D can be considered constant Between T c and T d V > u g 0 Between T c and T d V can be considered constant 15

16 Characteristics of elastic response spectra T n >T d response region sensible to displacements T n <T c response region sensible to accelerations T c <T n <T d response region sensible to velocity Larger damping: smaller values of displacements, pseudo-velocity and pseudoacceleration more "smooth" spectra Effect of damping: insignificant for T n 0 and T n, important for T b <T n <T d 16

17 Elastic design spectra Spectra of past ground motions: jagged shape variation of response for different earthquakes areas where previous data is not available 17

18 idealized "smooth" spectra Elastic design spectra based on statistical interpretation (median; median plus standard deviation) of several records characteristic for a given site 18

21 Inelastic response of SDOF systems Most structures designed for seismic forces lower than the ones assuring an elastic response during the design earthquake design of structures in the elastic range for rare seismic events considered uneconomical in the past, structures designed for a fraction of the forces necessary for an elastic response, survived major earthquakes f S b c d a u u u u um f S f S f S f S a b c d 21

22 Inelastic response of SDOF systems Elasto-plastic system: stiffness k yield force f y yield displacement u y Elasto-plastic idealization: equal area under the actual and idealised curves up to the maximum displacement u m Cyclic response of the elasto-plastic system 22
