INTRODUCTION

• In order to perform the seismic analysis and design of a structure to be built at a particular location, the actual time history record is required.

• However, it is not possible to have such records at each and every location.

• Further, the seismic analysis of structures cannot be • Further, the seismic analysis of structures cannot be carried out simply based on the peak value of the ground acceleration as the response of the structure depend upon the frequency content of ground motion and its own dynamic properties.

• To overcome the above difficulties, earthquake response spectrum is the most popular tool in the seismic analysis of structures.

Methods of Seismic Analysis

namely, Response Spectrum and Time History methods

singly supported structural

system or a multiple supported

system where all supports

ORIGIN OF THE RESPONSE SPECTRUM METHOD

• In 1971, with the occurrence of the San Fernando, California, earthquake, the modern era of RSM was launched.

• This earthquake was recorded by 241 • This earthquake was recorded by 241 accelerographs, and by combining these data with all previous strong-motion records it became possible to perform the first comprehensive empirical scaling analyses of response spectral amplitudes.

Introduction

�Response spectrum method is favoured by

earthquake engineering community because of:

� It provides a technique for performing an

equivalent static lateral load analysis.

� It allows a clear understanding of the

contributions of different modes of vibration.contributions of different modes of vibration.

� It offers a simplified method for finding the

design forces for structural members for

earthquake.

of seismic reliability of structures.

Contd…� The concept of equivalent lateral forces for earth-

quake is a unique concept because it converts a

dynamic analysis partly to dynamic & partly to

static analysis for finding maximum stresses.

� For seismic design, these maximum stresses are

of interest, not the time history of stress.

� Equivalent lateral force for an earthquake is

defined as a set of lateral force which will

produce the same peak response as that

obtained by dynamic analysis of structures .

� The equivalence is restricted to a single mode of

vibration.

developed using the following steps.

find total maximum response of the structure.

Seismic force evaluation

• During base excitation

– Structure is subjected to acceleration

• From Newton’s second law

– Force = mass x acceleration– Force = mass x acceleration

• Hence, seismic force acting on structure

= Mass x acceleration

Page 38: SEISMIC RESPONSE SPECTRUM - · PDF fileINTRODUCTION • Response spectrum is an important tool in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the maximum response of

Seismic force evaluation

• For design, we need maximum seismic force

• Hence, maximum acceleration is required

– This refers to maximum acceleration of structure

– This is different from maximum acceleration of – This is different from maximum acceleration of

ground

– Maximum ground acceleration is termed as peak

ground acceleration, PGA

– Maximum acceleration of rigid structure is same

as PGA.

Page 39: SEISMIC RESPONSE SPECTRUM - · PDF fileINTRODUCTION • Response spectrum is an important tool in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the maximum response of

Seismic force evaluation

• Seismic force = mass x maximum acceleration– Can be written as:

• Force = (maximum acceleration/g) x (mass x g)

= (maximum acceleration/g) x W– W is weight of the structure– W is weight of the structure

– g is acceleration due to gravity

• Typically, codes express design seismic force as:

V = (Ah) x (W)– V is design seismic force, also called design base shear

– Ah

is base shear coefficient

Page 40: SEISMIC RESPONSE SPECTRUM - · PDF fileINTRODUCTION • Response spectrum is an important tool in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the maximum response of

Seismic force evaluation

• Maximum acceleration of structure depends on

– Severity of ground motion

– Soil conditions– Soil conditions

– Structural characteristics

• These include time period and damping

• More about time period, later

• Obviously, base shear coefficient, Ah, will also

depend on these parameters

Page 41: SEISMIC RESPONSE SPECTRUM - · PDF fileINTRODUCTION • Response spectrum is an important tool in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the maximum response of

Seismic force evaluation

• Seismic design philosophy is such that, design

seismic forces are much lower than actual seismic

forces acting on the structure during severe

ground shakingground shaking

– Base shear coefficient has to ensure this reduction in

forces

• Hence, base shear coefficient would also have a

parameter associated with design philosophy

Page 42: SEISMIC RESPONSE SPECTRUM - · PDF fileINTRODUCTION • Response spectrum is an important tool in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the maximum response of

• Thus, base shear coefficient depends on:
