SIGNIFICANT CHANGES RPS

RPS 2000
The zoning map of the RPS 2000 Release
depends only on the seismic ground acceleration:

RPS 2011
The new RPS 2011 version has two seismic

maps, in addition to introducing acceleration,

seismic ground velocity.
Accuracy of seismic parameters of each
municipality and province of Morocco.

Two classes of buildings:

Three classes of buildings:

-Class I: The construction for vital social and

economic activities for the people and should
remain functional, with little damage during the
earthquake (the hospitals, civil defense, academic
institutions, libraries, buildings intended for Ala
storage or generation ...)

Buildings-Class I: Buildings for vital social and

economic activities for the people and should
remain functional, with little or no damage after
the earthquake (the hospitals, civil protection
structures for storage or Ala Production ...)

-Class II: The buildings at risk because they

-Class II: The buildings do not belong to the class contain the general public (libraries, academic
centers, gym, party hall ...)
I, such as current buildings Ausage housing,
offices and shopping Ausage.

-Class III: The buildings belonging neither to

class I or class II ALA, such as current buildings
Ausage
residential, office or business.

Three types of sites:

Five types of sites:

Sites S1 - Rock any depth; Firm soil thickness

<15m2 Floor

S1 Sites - Rock any depth farms Floor thickness

<30 mm

Sites S2 - Firm soil thickness> 15m

Moderately firm soil thickness <15m
Soft soil thickness <10m

S2 sites Soil thickness 30 mm farms

Loose soil thickness <30

Sites S3 - Moderately firm soil thickness> 15

Soft soil thickness> 10

S3 sites - Soft soils thickness 15m

Soft soil thickness <10 m
S4 sites - Soft soil thickness 10
S5 sites - special conditions

Spectrum dependent dynamic amplification of

the three types of sites-

Spectrum of dynamic amplification in the three

types of sites taking into account the acceleration
and seismic velocity (relative acceleration /
speed)

V=ASDIW/K

F= SDIW/K

A: acceleration coefficient
S: coefficient Site
D: amplification dynamique factor
I: priority coefficient
K: the behavior factor

: rate coefficient
S: coefficient Site
D: amplification dynamique factor
I: priority coefficient

W: taking charge weight La structure

K: the behavior factor
