How to Deal with Huge Earthquake Force?

Interim Conclusion (The Good News)

Elastic vs. Inelastic Response
The red line shows
the force and
displacement that
would be reached if
the structure
responded elastically.
The green line shows
the actual force vs.
displacement
response of the
structure
The pink line
indicates the
minimum strength
required to hold
everything together
during inelastic
behavior
The blue line is the
force level that we
design for.
We rely on the
ductility of the system
to prevent collapse.

Not permitted in Design
Categories E & F
Design forces for lateral force
connections to be increased 25% in
Design Categories D, E, & F.
Type 2: Re-entrant Corners
Both projections
beyond the corner are
more than 15% of the
plan dimension of the
structure in the same
direction
Type 3: Diaphragm
Discontinuities
Diaphragms with abrupt discontinuities or variations
in stiffness, including those having cutout or open
areas greater than 50% of the gross enclosed
diaphragm area, or changes in effective diaphragm
stiffness of more than 50% from one story to the
next.
Design forces for lateral force connections to be
increased 25% in Design Categories D, E, & F.
Type 4: Out-of-Plane Offsets
Discontinuities in a lateral
force resistance path, such
as out-of-plane offsets of
the vertical elements.
Design forces for lateral
force connections to be
increased 25% in Design
Categories D, E, & F.
Type 5: Nonparallel Systems
W is to include:
all dead load (all permanent components of the
building, including permanent equipment)
25% of any design storage floor live loads except
for floor live load in public garages and open
parking structures.
If partition loads are considered in floor design, at
least 10 psf is to be included.
A portion of the snow load (20% pf minimum) in
regions where the flat roof snow load exceeds 30
psf.
Seismic Response Coefficient, Cs
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.1.1
Cs = SDS /(R/I)
T < Cu Ta
Wx = Weight at level x
hx = elevation of level x above the base
k = exponent related to structure period
When T < 0.5 s, k =1, When T > 2.5 s, k =2,
Linearly interpolate when 0.5 < T < 2.5 s
Story Shear, Vx
Story shear, Vx, is the shear force at a given story
level
Vx is the sum of all the forces above that level.
