In dealing with earthquakes we must


contend with appreciable probabilities

the world would prove insufficient
We must also face uncertainty on a

Purpose of the Provisions


FEMA 302 Section 1.1
The design earthquake ground motion levels specified herein
could result in both structural and nonstructural damage.
For most structures designed and constructed according to
these Provisions, structural damage from the design earthquake
ground motion would be repairable although perhaps not
economically so. For essential facilities, it is expected that the
damage from the design earthquake ground motion would not
be so severe as to preclude continued occupancy and function
of the facility.
For ground motions larger than the design levels, the intent of
these Provisions is that there be a low likelihood of
structural collapse.

How to Deal with Huge Earthquake Force?

Isolate structure from ground (Base Isolation)


Increase Damping (Passive Energy Dissipation)
Allow Inelastic Response
Historically, Building Codes use Inelastic Response Procedure.
Inelastic response occurs though structural damage (yielding).
We must control the damage for the method to be successful.

ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginner's
Guide to ASCE 7-05

Interim Conclusion (The Good News)


The frame, designed for a wind force which is 15% of the
ELASTIC earthquake force, can survive the earthquake if:
It has the capability to undergo numerous cycles of
INELASIC deformation
It has the capability to deform at least 5 to 6 times
the yield deformation
It suffers no appreciable loss of strength

REQUIRES ADEQUATE DETAILING


4.12

ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginner's


Guide to ASCE 7-05

10

Interim Conclusion (The Bad News)


As a result of the large displacements associated with the
inelastic deformations, the structure will suffer considerable
structural and nonstructural damage.

This damage must be controlled by


adequate detailing and by limiting
structural deformations (drift)

Horizontal Distribution
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.4

Being an inertial force, the Story Force, Fx, is

distributed in accordance with the distribution


of the mass at each level.
The Story Shear, Vx, is distributed to the
vertical lateral force resisting elements based
on the relative lateral stiffnesses of the
vertical resisting elements and the
diaphragm.

Torsion
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.4.1-3

The analysis must take into account any torsional effects

resulting from the location of the masses relative to the


centers of resistance.
In addition to the predicted torsion, accidental torsion must
be applied for structures with rigid diaphragms by assuming
the center of mass at each level is moved from its actual
location a distance equal to 5% the building dimension
perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Buildings of Seismic Design Categories C, D, E, and F with
torsional irregularities are to have torsional moments
magnified.

are additive:
E = Eh + Ev = QE + 0.2SDSD
When Seismic effects and Dead Load effects

counteract:
E = Eh - Ev = QE - 0.2SDSD
QE = Effect of horizontal seismic forces
= the reliability factor

The Reliability Factor,


See ASCE 7-05 12.3.4

The reliability factor is intended to account for redundancy in the

structure.
The factor, , may be taken as 1.0 for eight cases listed in
ASCE 7-05 12.3.4.1, including Seismic Design Categories A-C.
For structures of Seismic Design Categories D-F:
= 1.3
With listed exceptions (ASCE 7-05 12.3.4.2)
