Earthquake Resistant Building Design

IS 1893

IS 1893:2002 CRITERIA FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF STRUCTURES
PART1 GENERAL PROVISIONS AND BUILDINGS
 
The Code is now split into five parts
 
Part 1 - General provisions and buildings
Part 2 - Liquid retaining tanks - Elevated and ground supported
Part 3 - Bridges and retaining walls
Part 4 - Industrial structures including stack like structures
Part 5 - Dams and embankments
 
Part 1 contains provisions that are general in nature and applicable to all
structures. Also, it contains provisions that are specific to buildings only.
 
The important changes as compared to IS:1893-1984 are as follows:
 

1. Seismic zone map is revised with only four seismic zones. Zone I is
upgraded to Zone II. Killari area is enhanced to Zone III. Bellary isolated zone
is removed. East coast is enhanced to Zone III and connected with Zone III of
Godavari Graben area.
2. Seismic zone factor is changed reflecting more realistic value of peak ground acceleration.   3. Response acceleration spectra are now specified for three types of founding strata viz. Hard, Medium and Soft.   4. The empirical formula for calculating fundamental natural period T=0.1n for moment resisting frames without bracing or shear walls is replaced with Ta=0.075h0.075 for RC framed buildings. This formula applies to bare frames e.g. in industrial plant buildings. The formula for framed buildings with in-filled masonry walls is Ta = 0.09h/d0.5 where h and d are the height and base dimension of the building along the considered direction of earthquake.   5. Revised procedure first calculates the actual force that may be experienced by the structure during the probable maximum earthquake, if it were to remain elastic. Then response reduction due to ductile deformation or frictional energy dissipation in the cracks is applied via `response reduction factor' R in place of the earlier performance factor K. The list of building systems and the corresponding values of R is more exhaustive.   The code procedures for calculating base shear VB are summarized below:   IS:1893-1984 ------------   VB = K.C.αh.W   where   K = Performance factor 1.0 for SMRF (IS:4326 detail) and 1.6 for OMRF (IS:456 detail)   C = Fundamental time period dependant coefficient = 1.0 for T <= 0.35 sec and 0.5/T(2/3) for T > 0.35 sec   αh = β.I.α0   β = Soil-foundation system dependant coefficient = 1.2 for isolated footings without tie beams in medium soils, piles in soft soils, combined or isolated footings with tie beams in soft soils = 1.5 isolated footings without tie beams in soft soils   I = Importance factor = 1.5 for hospitals, schools, cinema halls, monumental structures, telephone exchanges, radio, fire, railway power stations and 1.0 for others   α0 = Zone dependant design seismic coefficient   Zone II III IV V α0 0.02 0.04 0.05 0.08   W = Seismic weight of building = Dead load + appropriate amount of live load = Dead load + 25% for LL up to 3 kN/sq.m 50% for LL > 3 kN/sq.m 0% for LL on roof     IS:1893-2002 ------------   VB = Ah.W   [Z/2].[Sa/g] Ah = ------------ [R/I]   Z = Zero period acceleration value for the Maximum Considered Earthquake   Zone II III IV V Z 0.10 0.16 0.24 0.36   Sa/g = Spectral acceleration coefficient for Hard, Medium or Soft soil, 5% damping = 2.5 for T <= 0.40 and 1.00/T for T > 0.40 (Hard: GP,GW,SP,SW,SC with N>30) = 2.5 for T <= 0.55 and 1.36/T for T > 0.55 (Medium: All with 10<N<30 SP with N>15) = 2.5 for T <= 0.67 and 1.67/T for T > 0.67 (Soft: All except SP with N<10) I = Importance factor = 1.5 for hospitals, schools, cinema halls, monumental structures, telephone exchanges, television, radio, fire, railway power stations and 1.0 for others  
R = Response reduction factor   Ordinary RC Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF) 3 Special RC Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) 5 Ordinary RC Shear Walls 3 Ductile RC Shear Walls 3   Dual Systems with frames carrying >25% of VB   Ordinary RC Shear Walls with OMRF 3 Ordinary RC Shear Walls with OMRF 4 Ductile Shear Walls with OMRF 4.5 Ductile Shear Walls with SMRF 5   W = Seismic weight of building = Dead load + appropriate amount of live load = Dead load + 25% for LL up to 3 kN/sq.m 50% for LL > 3 kN/sq.m 0% for LL on roof Comparative Values of Maximum Base Shear ----------------------------------------   IS:1893-1984 IS:1893-2002 Percent Increase   Zone VB(SMRF) VB(OMRF) VB(SMRF) VB(OMRF) SMRF OMRF II 0.02W 0.032W 0.025W 0.042W 25.0 31.3 III 0.04W 0.064W 0.040W 0.067W 0.0 4.7 IV 0.05W 0.080W 0.060W 0.100W 20.0 25.0 V 0.08W 0.128W 0.090W 0.150W 12.5 17.2   Elimination of C results in higher force up to 11%, 25% and 43% for hard, medium and soft soils respectively in the peak region and elimination of beta results in lower force for soft soils to the extent of 20%.   6. Accidental torsion is introduced:   edi = 1.5 esi + 0.05 bi or = esi - 0.05 bi whichever governs
edi = Design eccentricity at floor i   esi = Static eccentricity at floor i defined as the distance between center of mass and center of rigidity   bi = Plan dimension of floor i perpendicular to the direction of force   7. Definition and treatment of irregularities is elaborated:   In Plan ------- i) Torsional : If floor diaphragms are rigid in their own plane and maximum storey drift at one end is > 1.2*average storey drift   ii) Re-entrant corners : if projection beyond re-entrant corner is > 15% of plan dimension in that direction   iii) Diaphragm discontinuity: if open areas > 50% of gross enclosed area or change in effective diaphragm stiffness from one storey to next > 50%   iv) Out-of-plane offsets: discontinuities in lateral load resisting paths   v) Non-parallel systems   In Elevation ------------ i) Soft-storey: Lateral stiffness < 70% of that in in the storey above or < 80% of the average lateral stiffness of three storeys above   ii) Mass: seismic weight of any storey except roof < 200% of adjacent storeys   iii) Geometic: horizontal dimension of a lateral force resisting element > 150% of that in adjacent storey   iv) In plane discontinuity: In plane offset of a lateral force resisting element > length of that element   v) Weak-storey having lateral strength < 80% of that in the storey above   Additional requirements for some of the irregularities are specified:   Soft Storey: The columns and beams of the soft storey are to be designed for 2.5 times the storey shears and moments calculated under seismic loads besides the columns designed and detailed for the calculated storey shears and moments, shear walls placed symmetrical in both directions of the building as far away from the center of the building as feasbible to be designed exclusively for 1.5 times the lateral storey shear force calculated as before.   Non-Parallel Systems: Earthquake effects about the two orthogonal axes must be combined:   a. Ex ± 0.3Ey b. Ey ± 0.3Ex   8. More load combinations are required:   Basic Combination Expanded Combinations   1) 1.5(D+L)   2) 1.2(D+L±E) 1.2(D+L+EXP), 1.2(D+L+EXN), 1.2(D+L-EXP), 1.2(D+L-EXN), 1.2(D+L+EYP), 1.2(D+L+EYN), 1.2(D+L-EYP), 1.2(D+L-EYN)   3) 1.5(D±E) 1.5(D+EXP), 1.5(D+EXN), 1.5(D-EXP), 1.5(D-EXN), 1.5(D+EYP), 1.5(D+EYN), 1.5(D-EYP), 1.5(D-EYN)   4) 0.9D±1.5E 0.9D+1.5EXP, 0.9D+1.5EXN, 0.9D-1.5EXP, 0.9D-1.5EXN, 0.9D+1.5EYP, 0.9D+1.5EYN, 0.9D-1.5EYP, 0.9D-1.5EYN   where   D : Dead L : Live E : Earthquake X : along X axis Y : along Y axis P : Positive eccentricity N : Negative eccentricity   This results in 25 actual combinations but can be reduced rationally.   Limits of static analysis ------------------------- Zone II Zone III Zone IV Zone V Regular buildings <90 m <90 m <40 m <40 m Irregular buildings <40 m <40 m <12 m <12 m   Example

Analysis & Design of Floor Slab A1B2 :

Dead load (0.15*25+1.25)   =  5 kN/m2
Live load                  =  5 kN/m2
Factored Load  1.5*5+1.5*5 = 15 kN/m2 

Aspect ratio = 5.0 / 5.0 = 1.0
 
M+  = 0.056*15*52 = 21.0 kN-m/m 
As+ = 504 sq.mm/m

Direct dead UDL on beam        = (75+125)/4  =  50.00  kN 
Triangular dead load from slab = 125/4       =  31.25  kN
Triangular live load from slab = 125/4       =  31.25  kN
Total                                        = 112.50  kN
  
Simply supported moment :
Dead = 50*5/8 + 31.25*5/6 = 57.29 kN-m
Live = 31.25*5/6          = 26.04 kN-m
Total                     = 83.33 kN-m

Fixed end moment :       
Dead = 50*5/12 + 31.25*5*5/48 = 37.11 kN-m
Live = 31.25*5*5/48           = 16.28 kN-m

Factored fixed end moment = 1.5*37.11 + 1.5*16.28 = 80.08 kN-m

Substitute Frame Properties:

Gross properties of sections will be used in the analysis. For beams, effective
width of flange is taken as lo/12+bw+3*Df where lo is the distance between points
of contraflexure, assumed as 0.7 times beam span and Df is the flange depth. 
 
Gross Moment of Inertia of Beams:
 
Overall depth = 500 mm
Web width     = 300 mm
Flange depth  = 150 mm
Flange width  = 0.7*5000/12 + 300 + 3*150 = 1042 mm

The treatment of torsional provisions is elaborated here along with a solved example. Clause 7.9.2 of IS:1893(2000) reads as follows: The design eccentricity, edi to be used at floor i shall be taken as: edi = 1.5esi + 0.05bi or = esi - 0.05bi whichever of these gives the more severe effect in the shear of any frame where esi = Static eccentricity at floor i defined as the distance between centre of mass and centre of rigidity bi = Floor plan dimension of floor i, perpendicular to the direction of force Under seismic loads, structures experience lateral forces acting, in general, at a design eccentricity edi with respect to a neutral point, such that deflections on the side towards edi are higher than those on the other side of the neutral point. The sides towards and away from edi are known as the flexible and stiff sides respectively. Multiplier 1.5 on esi in the first equation is the dynamic amplification factor to account for possible coupling of torsional and lateral modes of vibration and depends on the ratio of frequencies in the two modes. When frequencies in the two modes are far apart, dynamic amplification factor is 1.0 as in the second equation. Accidental eccentricity due to possible variations of live load, stiffness and ground motion along the width of building is given by 0.05bi. Obviously, this factor can take positive or negative value. Two cases are possible: 1. Lateral-torsional mode coupling occurs and accidental eccentricity is in the same direction as the static eccentricity which is reflected by the first equation. In general, this is the governing case for members on the flexible side. 2. Lateral-torsional mode coupling does not occur and the static eccentricity is in the direction opposite to the static eccentricity which is what the second part of the equation implies. In general, this is the governing case for members on the stiff side. Seismic force acting at the code specified design eccentricity results in torques at various floor levels. There are two approaches to account for this effect. 1. Floor Torques about Centers of Rigidity: Static eccentricity is defined as the distance between the center of mass and the center of rigidity at a given floor. Centers of rigidity are points on each floor of a multistoreyed building such that lateral loads applied through them do not cause rotation of any of the floors [1]. In order to locate centers of rigidity, the following procedure is adopted: 1. The structural models constrained to deflect only in the direction of applied seismic loads along x and y axes are analyzed. 2. Free body diagram of each floor is taken along with storey shears vi+1,j and vi,j above and below that floor respectively where subscript i refers to storey and subscript j refers to shear resisting element of that storey. 3. The point of intersection of resultants of net storey shears (vi,j - vi+1,j) along the orthogonal axes is the center of rigidity for the storey. A pair of design eccentricities and the resulting floor torques at each storey can now be calculated. These floor torques are applied to a three-dimensional frame model taking due care of the fact that 3D frame analysis accounts for static eccentricity 1.0 esi automatically. 2. Storey Torsion about Shear Center: Static eccentricity is defined as the distance between the center of cumulative mass from roof down to the level under consideration and shear center at that level. In order to locate shear center, the following procedure is adopted: 1. The structural models constrained to deflect only in the direction of applied seismic loads along x and y axes are analyzed. 2. Free body diagram of the substructure from roof down to the level being considered is taken along with shears Vxi,j and Vyi,j at the cut where subscript i refers to level and subscript j refers to shear resisting element at that level. 3. The point of intersection of resultants of shears Vxi,j and Vyi,j defines shear center at that level. A pair of design eccentricities at the level under consideration can now be calculated. Analogous to the quantity (1+6e/d) commonly used to calculate maximum pressure in an eccentrically loaded footing, magnification factors on all forces and moments obtained in step 1 above are given by: δxi = 1 + ediy*yi,k/rk2 δyi = 1 + edix*xi,k/rk2 where δxi = Magnification factor for frames in x direction at level i δyi = Magnification factor for frames in y direction at level i Vxi,j = Shear along x direction at level i in column j Vyi,j = Shear along y direction at level i in column j edix = Maximum additive design eccentricity at level i along x axis ediy = Maximum additive design eccentricity at level i along y axis xsci = x ordinate of shear center at level i = ΣVyi,j*xi,j / ΣVyi,j ysci = y ordinate of shear center at level i = ΣVxi,j*yi,j / ΣVxi,j xi,j = x ordinate of j-th column at level i yi,j = y ordinate of j-th column at level i rk = Radius of gyration of stiffness = (ΣVxi,j*(ysci-yi,j)2/ΣVxi,j + ΣVyi,j*(xsci-xi,j)2/ΣVyi,j)1/2 It must be emphasized that, in general, location of shear center is different from center of rigidity. Tso [2] has shown equivalence of the two procedures given above.  The second approach is computationally simpler and will be used to illustrate the effect of torsion on the two storeyed building shown below consisting of ground, first floor and roof levels.

Seismic Weight wi

Seismic weight at a particular level consists of:

- Dead loads of slab and beams including finishes at the level
- Proportional dead loads of walls and columns above and below
- Appropriate amount of live loads at the level as per code

The following table gives seismic weights at various levels along with x ordinate
of center of gravity, xcg measured from lower left corner which will be used later 
for calculating center of mass. Due to symmetry in vertical direction, ycg is located
at 2.5 m for all of the components. Density of reinforced concrete is taken as
25 kN/m3 for this example.

Center of Mass

Centers of mass at various levels with respect to origin at lower left corner are
calculated as :

xcm = Σwj*xcgj/Σwj
ycm = Σwj*ycgj/Σwj

where subscript j refers to each component of seismic weight from roof downwards
to the level under consideration.

ycm = 2.5 m at all levels

Seismic Analyses on Constrained Models

In lieu of analyses, it will be assumed here that all columns share storey shears 
equally at all levels. 

Shear Center

Following the assumption of storey shears being shared equally by all columns,
values of Vxi,j/ΣVxi,j and Vyi,j/ΣVyi,j are all equal to 1/6. Thus at all levels, 

xsc = ΣVyi,j*xi,j/ΣVyi,j = 2*(0+5+8)/6 = 4.333 m
ysc = ΣVxi,j*yi,j/ΣVxi,j = 3*(0+5)/6   = 2.500 m

Static Eccentricity esi

The distance between center of mass and shear center gives static eccentricity 
along each of the axes at various levels. 

Along x-axis: esix = xcm - xsc
Roof   : 4.090 - 4.333 = -0.243 m
Floor  : 4.094 - 4.333 = -0.239 m
Ground : 4.108 - 4.333 = -0.225 m

Along y-axis: esiy = ycm - ysc  = 2.5 - 2.5 = 0 m (at all levels) 
 
Accidental Eccentricity bi

Along x-axis = 0.05*bix = 0.05 * 8 = 0.40 m
Along y-axis = 0.05*biy = 0.05 * 5 = 0.25 m

Maximum Design Eccentricity edimax 

Algebraic addition of static and accidental eccentricities gives maximum value of 
design eccentricity.

Along x-axis = 1.5*esix + 0.05*bix

Roof   : -1.5*0.243 - 0.40 = -0.765 m
Floor  : -1.5*0.239 - 0.40 = -0.759 m
Ground : -1.5*0.225 - 0.40 = -0.738 m

Along y-axis = 1.5*esiy + 0.05*biy = 0 + 0.25 = 0.25 m


Minimum Design Eccentricity edimin 

Algebraic subtraction of accidental eccentricity from static eccentricity gives 
minimum value of design eccentricity.

Along x-axis = ediminx = esix - 0.05*bix

Roof   : -0.243 + 0.40 = 0.157 m
Floor  : -0.239 + 0.40 = 0.161 m
Ground : -0.225 + 0.40 = 0.175 m

Along y-axis = ediminy = esiy - 0.05*biy = 0 - 0.25 = -0.25 m

Radius of Gyration of Strength

rk = (ΣVxi,j*(ysci-yi,j)2/ΣVxi,j + ΣVyi,j*(xsci-xi,j)2/ΣVyi,j)1/2

The quantities Vxi,j/ΣVxi,j and Vyi,j/ΣVyi,j being equal to 1/6 at all levels,
rk2 = {3*(2.5-0)2+3*(2.5-5)2+2*(4.333-0)2+2*(4.333-5)2+2*(4.333-8)2}/6 = 17.14 m2

As expected, frame along grid 1 which is farthest from shear center and on the 
flexible side experiences maximum magnification factor.
 

δyi = 1 + edix*xi,k/rk2

Storey-wise magnification factors or, conservatively, the maximum value of 
magnification factor for each frame in x and y direction is applied to all actions
found from seismic analysis of constrained model.
