CHAPTER I

GENERALITIES

1.1. Object

The purpose of this Standard is to provide the criteria to be followed in


of the Spanish territory for the consideration of the seismic action in the project,
tion, reform and conservation of those buildings and works to which it is applicable
in accordance with the provisions of article 1.2.
The ultimate purpose of these criteria is to prevent the loss of human life and reduce
the damage and the economic cost that future earthquakes may cause. The promoter
may require benefits greater than those required by this Standard, for example the maintenance
Maintenance of essential services functionality.
The achievement of the objectives of this Standard is conditioned, on the one hand, by the
precepts limiting land use dictated by the competent Public Administrations
as well as by the calculation and design specified in the following chapters, and by
another, for the execution of an adequate execution and conservation.

The seismic hazard of the national territory is defined by the hazard map.
Seismicity of Figure 2.1. This map provides, expressed in relation to the value of the
vedad, g , the basic seismic acceleration, a b - a characteristic value of horizontal acceleration
of the land surface- and the contribution coefficient K , which takes into account the influence
of the different types of earthquakes expected in the seismic hazard of each point.
The list of the annex 1 details by municipalities the values of the basic seismic acceleration
equal to or greater than 0.04 g , together with those of the contribution coefficient K.

2.2. Seismic calculation acceleration

The seismic acceleration calculation, a c , is defined as the product:

2.3. Elastic response spectrum

This Standard establishes a standardized spectrum of elastic response on the surface


free of terrain (figure 2.2), for horizontal accelerations, corresponding to an oscillator
simple linear with a reference damping of 5% with respect to the critical, defined by the
following values:

If T < T A α ( T ) = 1 + 1.5 · T / T A
Yes T A T TB α ( T ) = 2.5
If T > T B α ( T)=K· C/T

being:

v = (/)5 , Ω 0 4

where Ω is the damping of the structure expressed as a percentage of the critical.


For periods T < T A , the spectral ordinates will be linearly interpolated between the
values corresponding to T = 0 and T = T A.

CHAPTER III

CALCULATION

3.1. Generalities

The object of the earthquake-resistant calculation is to verify the safety of buildings against
Seismic actions that may act on them during their useful life.
For this purpose, the Standard provides the criteria for the determination of:
- the masses of the building to be considered in the calculation,
- the periods and modes of vibration of the structure.
- the response of the structure to the seismic actions resulting from the application
of chapter 2
- verification of the safety of the structure.
In general, the calculation methods indicated in this chapter refer to buildings
cios.

3.2. Masses involved in the calculation

For the purposes of the calculations of the requests due to the earthquake, the
masses corresponding to the structure itself, the permanent masses, and a fraction of the
remaining masses - provided that these have an unfavorable effect on the structure-
of value:
- for overloads of use in homes, hotels and residences: 0,5
- for overloads of use in public buildings, offices and shops: 0.6
- for overloads of use in agglomeration and entertainment venues: 0.6
- for snow overload, provided that it remains more than 30 days a year: 0.5
- for overloads of use in warehouses, files, etc .: 1.0
- for partition overload: 1.0
- for swimming pools or large water tanks: 1,0
In constructions in which the center of mass and torsion do not coincide, either
geometric or mechanical irregularity, or because of a non-uniform distribution of the masses,
the twisting effect that occurs must be taken into account.
In all constructions, even those that are expected to coincide with the center of
masses and torsion, an additional eccentricity of the masses should always be considered
or of the equivalent seismic forces in each plant, not less than 1/20 of the highest
of the plant in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the earthquake, in order to cover the
constructive gularidades and the accidental asymmetries of overloads.

3.5. Calculation methods

This Standard establishes the analysis of the structure by means of response spectra such as
reference method for seismic calculation (section 3.6.2). Study is also allowed
dynamic by integration of acceleration records (section 3.6.1).
The Standard also develops, in section 3.7, a simplified method of calculation for
the most usual cases of building, whose application is authorized for buildings that meet
plan the conditions of section 3.5.1.
In all cases, a sufficiently representative model of the
real tribute of rigidities and masses.

3.5.1. Conditions for applying the simplified method of calculation

The simplified method of calculation may be applied in buildings that comply with the
following requirements:
1. The number of floors above ground is less than twenty.
2. The height of the above ground building is less than sixty meters.
3. There is geometric regularity in plan and in elevation, with no entrances or outgoing important
tantes.
4. It has continuous supports until foundation, uniformly distributed in
plant and without sudden changes in its rigidity.
5. It has mechanical regularity in the distribution of rigidities, resistances and
masses, so that the centers of gravity and torsion of all the plants are
located, approximately, in the same vertical.
6. The eccentricity of the center of the masses involved in the seismic calculation res-

characteristic values obtained with each one.
For each earthquake, the spatial response of the structure will be determined by
three independent accelerograms acting in the three main directions of the
structure with an equivalent linear elastic model or with a non-linear model. In both
cases, the behavior laws adopted for the

3.6.2. Analysis by response spectra

This method uses the response spectrum defined in this Standard and requires the
weighted bination of the requests from each vibration mode of the cons-
construction.

3.6.2.1. Structure model

A discrete model, generally three-dimensional, will be established that considers the degrees
of freedom that best represent the behavior of the real structure.
The model of vibration of the buildings of floors with continuous supports to the core
and with slabs sufficiently rigid in its plane can be analyzed, as regards the
movements in that plane, with only three degrees of freedom per plant, assuming in this
the movements of the rigid solid in its plane: two translations and one rotation.
If the building has a regular floor and with a mass eccentricity compared to the center
of torsion less than 10% of the dimension in plan, the model of vibration in each
of the main dimensions can be analyzed by means of two orthogonal plane models
independent movements, reducing horizontal movement to a single degree of freedom

3.6.2.2. Maximum modal shifts

For each direction in which the seismic action is considered, the maximum
equivalent to u ij , max for the vibration mode i , corresponding to each degree of freedom
tad j , assumed in the equivalent linear model of the structure, are given by:

3.6.2.3.2. Calculation of the modal characteristics of construction

The characteristics of the construction (own period and shape coefficient of each
mode of vibration, and damping) shall be determined by any of the following procedures:
ductions, in order of preference:

- Essays on constructions with the same or similar characteristics to those


considers.
- Essays on models of the considered construction.
- Theoretical procedures of Mechanics and Elasticity.
- Approximate or empirical formulas, such as those indicated in sections 3.7.2.2 and
3.7.3.2.

3.6.2.4. Combination of the results obtained for the different modes

The combination of the results obtained in the analysis of the different modes of
vibration, must be made for every variable associated with each degree of freedom
(displacements, solicitations, tensions, etc.). If S represents the variable to be calculated and S i
its value in the i mode , the combination rule -in the hypothesis that the periods of
modes differ by more than 10% - is:

r
S = Σ 2S i
i=one

where r is the number of modes that make a significant contribution to the result.
If there are vibration modes whose periods differ less than 10%, you can apply
Take the previous rule grouping in a single variable S j the sum of the absolute values
of the variables S i that differ from each other less than 10%.

3.6.2.5. Calculation of the requests

The method requires the weighted combination of the requests from each
vibration mode of the structure.
The distribution of the solicitations -and consequently of the tensions- is obtained
ne from the variables S , obtained from the combination of modes, according to the
discrete model that translates the real structure.
In particular, in apartment buildings where three degrees of freedom have been adopted
per plant, the global plant requirements will be allocated to each element in

If two orthogonal plane models have been used, the allocation of the requests

RULES OF DESIGN AND PRESCRIPTIONS

BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTIONS

4.1. Introduction

This chapter contains a series of design rules and constructive prescriptions


These are to be complied with in all constructions to which this Standard applies.
Some of the rules and prescriptions reflected here have to be applied in function of
the ductility behavior coefficients, μ , adopted in the calculation.

4.2. Rules of a general nature

4.2.1. Form of the building


The geometric arrangement in plan will be as symmetric and regular as possible, work
in the building, in the resistant elements, and in the bracings, a
composition with two orthogonal symmetry axes (Figure 4.1).

In asymmetrical buildings, symmetrical structures can be obtained by separating them into


Regular independent bodies through vertical joints.
Equally, a geometric arrangement in elevation as regular as
possible, avoiding abrupt transitions of form or rigidity between one floor and the next.

4.2.2. Mass disposition

When to c 0.12 g , in order to avoid an excessive concentration of stresses, the


Total mass of a plant must not exceed by more than 15% the mass of contiguous plants,
nor in more than 50% the average mass of all of them. Also, if there are areas in a plant
that must bear loads that exceed the average general load by 25%, said areas
They should be located around the center of the plant.

plants.
If you entrust the resistance of horizontal efforts to elements of great rigidity
such as screens, walls, triangulations, etc., these must be placed at least in two direc-
tions, preferably orthogonal, in a symmetrical position and preferably on the perimeter
outside of the plant. In the case of arranging the elements of great rigidity in the form of
core, it is a priority that it be placed in the plant in a centered position.
When to c 0.16 g , the earthquake-resistant elements will be redundant, so that
the failure of one of them does not imply large changes in the position of the center of rigidity, and
therefore, the mass eccentricity (Figure 4.2).
To avoid effects of eccentricity in the supports, the distance between the geometrical axes
The beams and pillars will be as small as possible and, in any case, not greater than b / 4,

the structure will include a degree of vertical freedom in that node, the
vertical seismic actions, and - due to fragility - the demands of
cutting of the beams that rush to the knot with a value of the coefficient of behavior
by ductility μ = 1.
It must be ensured that the seismic resistance of the knots is greater than that of the
pieces, that of the supports is superior to that of the beams, and in these that the
Shear stress is greater than at the moment.

mitigate the effects of shock during seismic movements.

Joints between building bodies should preferably be vertical planes and with
a width of, at least, the sum of the maximum lateral displacements, u , of the two
bodies.
In areas with a c 0.16 g should not project support joints in free expansion,
except if a special study is carried out.
No general conduits will be installed crossing joint plans, except that
put on adequate flexible links.

When the foundation ground contains in the first 20 m under the surface of the
terrain, layers or lenses of loose sands located, totally or partially, below the free-
attic, the possibility of liquefaction should be analyzed.
If it is concluded that the terrain is likely to liquefy in the calculation earthquake,
avoid superficial foundations, unless measures are adopted to improve the
ground to prevent liquefaction. Similarly, in deep foundations, the points
of the piles shall be carried to sufficient depth under the liquefiable layers, to

4.5. Of the reinforced concrete structures

4.5.1. General criteria

The precepts of this Standard are formulated on the assumption that:

- The end sections of the beams are plasticized before those of the support, which
is fulfilled if the security coefficient of any request for all support is
always superior to any solicitation of any beam with which it concurs in a
knot.
- The end sections of beams and supports are exhausted before the occurrence of the
of the encounter, which is fulfilled if the security coefficient before the
of any connecting rod or anchor in any knot is slightly greater than that of
any solicitation of the sections of beams or supports that attack him.
- Flexural yield is reached in the steel of the longitudinal reinforcement before
the exhaustion of the section by shear, which is fulfilled if the coefficient of
The shear rate in any section is greater than that of the same section at the moment
tor. Short pieces, such as dwarfs, should be checked for shear
that results from considering moments in the extreme sections equal to the capacity
resistant to flexion they possess and with opposite sign.
- The checks to be carried out will include those of the pieces, as detailed in the
next sections, and those of the knots. When the knot between the support and the beam
be it concrete, the connecting rod should be checked on the diagonal of the same (Figure 4.7).

4.5.2. Concrete beams

4.5.2.1. General rules for beams

To be able to consider that the structure, in the direction of the beams, benefits from the
conditions of high ductility ( μ = 3), the following requirements must be met (see Fig.
ra 4.4):

- The lowering under the slab is greater than the calculation depth of the head
compressed in the fissured section.
- The width of the drop-off, b , is at least 0.20 m.
- At least 2 φ 14 are arranged on the upper face and all its development.
- On the upper face, the continuity frame in an interior knot will have a
less than b · h / 40, where h is the total edge of the beam.
- On the lower face and throughout its development at least 2 φ 14 and 4 ‰ are available.
- On the lower face there will be effectively anchored to the end at least one armor
A / 3, where A is the maximum amount of the upper tensile reinforcement of that same
extreme.
- Both on the upper face and on the lower side, it will be available, in all its development,
a minimum armor A / 4, where A is the amount of the maximum negative armor between
The two extremes. The shear-resistant capacity of the sections will be 25%
higher than that required by the calculation.
- In the extreme areas of the beam, in an amplitude of two edges from the face
of the support, fences of at least 6 mm in diameter and with a sepa-
serving no greater than:

• h / 4.
• 8 φ L , where φ L is the diameter of any compressed longitudinal reinforcement.
• 0.15 m
• In the rest of the beam the fences will have a maximum separation of h / 2.

In general, with concrete supports, the upper reinforcement of the extreme knots of
beams that are necessary for seismic solicitation must be fully disposed within the
support (Figure 4.8.a), counting its anchoring from the beginning of the area pinched by the

loss of traction per unit length equal to the vertical compressive tension guarantee
in that area multiplied by the diameter of the reinforcement. The solution of the anchorage of
the upper reinforcement by continuity behind the support, in a loop around its shaft (Figure
4.8.b), is limited to a total traction, between both branches of the loop, not higher than the
vertical pressure guaranteed inside.
If transverse edge beams are arranged on the edge, the upper reinforcement may be

Figure 4.14. Investment of moments

If there is an investment in an extreme knot, the same rules apply to the lower armor
than those indicated in the previous section for the superior.
If investment occurs in an interior knot, that encounter, for the purpose of disposition
of lower and upper reinforcement and of the abutments, behaves like two extreme knots
attached, except for the anchoring of the beam reinforcement, which in any case
it will be resolved by a straight extension from the opposite side of the support.
In the particular case of metal supports, when inversion occurs in a knot
extreme, it is necessary to have reinforcement linkage devices, both superior and
lower.
When the investment affects the extreme node of the last floor, it is necessary to have a
specific reinforcement on the diagonal of the knot, or anchor the beam reinforcement and support
to account for a connecting rod compressed on the opposite diagonal (Figure 4.15).
If the investment of moments is very strong, there may be a reversal of
