Earthquake hazard and risk

• Earthquake hazard: Any physical phenomenon, such as ground h ki d f il th t ishaking or ground failure, that is

associated with an earthquake and that may produce adverse effects on h man acti ities (Science andhuman activities. (Science and Technology Dictionary)

• Earthquake risk: The probability that i l i fsocial or economic consequences of

earthquakes will equal or exceed specified values at a site, at several sites or in an area during asites, or in an area, during a specified exposure time. (STD)

Amplitude parameters - PGA and PGV

• Peak ground acceleration (PGA): related to the force induced in rigid structures

• Peak ground velocity (PGV): good correlation to damage in structures• Disadvantage

A i l k i f l ti• A single peak is a poor measure for a complex motion.• Structural properties are not accounted for.

Particularities of the elastic approach

• Advantages: • Takes into account the dynamic properties of the ”building” by the

fundamental period (T) and damping (ξ).• Shortcomings:

• The simplification of a structure into an SDOF may not be acceptable.The simplification of a structure into an SDOF may not be acceptable.• The supposition that the oscillator is elastic is also restrictive. Usually,

it is not feasible to build buildings which withstand earthquakes in the elastic rangeelastic range.

• Solutions:• Use of multi-mass oscillator (MDOF).

C bi lti l ib ti d Ad t ith “ ti ” ffi i t• Combine multiple vibration modes. Adapt with “correction” coefficients and procedures the SDOF response to an MDOF response.

Definition of design goals in ”modern” codes

• At ultimate limit state (ULS) Ec8 aims at “no-collapse requirement”. • This means that the structure shall withstand the design seismic g

actions (DSA) without local or global collapse and must retain structural integrity and a residual load bearing capacity. The primary aim is to save the lives of the occupantsprimary aim is to save the lives of the occupants.

• DSA defined by a reference seismic action with probability of exceedence of 10 % in 50 years, or the reference return period of 475475 years.
