Parasismic verification of a building according to Eurocode 8

Make the seismic verification of the new building of the sport center located in Liege according to the Eurocode EN 1998-1 The building characteristics are:

• Rectangular building of dimensions 28.2 X 12 m
• 1 ground level + 1 level and an underground level  3 levels
• Columns and central nucleus in concrete. All the other walls are in masonry except the underground walls

which are in concrete

• The slabs are in concrete
• The building is located in Liege with a soil class B according to EN 1998-1
• The building is an office building with meeting rooms
• Concrete is C 30/37 with an instantaneous non cracked Young’s modulus of 35 000 N/mm²
• The dead masses of the floor are 700 kg/m² and 600 kg/m² for the roof
• The live loads are 500 kg/m²
• The vertical component of the earthquake can be neglected

• 1. Simplify the static scheme

Ask yourself the following questions:

• In which direction do the earthquake loads act?
• What are the resisting elements under earthquake ?
• Do the columns sustain earthquakes loads ?
• What are the flexible parts of the building ?
• Which elements must be modelled ?
• The masonry has a very small resistance to horizontal loads  no resistance
• Make the simplest model to represent the structure behaviour under earthquake, minimise the dofs

Model the building with beam elements with only a few nodes, minimise the number of nodes

Static scheme – which element sustains the horizontal loads ?

Only the concrete central core !

Static scheme – improve the behaviour under horizontal loads

Big torsion in the central core. What can be done to reduce the torsion ?

Static scheme – improve the behaviour under horizontal loads

To add a concrete wall at the opposite side to increase the lever arm

Static scheme – underground level not taken into account

masonry concrte Very stiff In the soil  not taken into account

1200 x 40 25 m 3.3 m 4 m 1200 x 40 5 m No effect on the horizontal stiffness  not modelled But masses to take into account  Mnode = m.l

Static scheme – Masses

25 m 3.3 m 4 m 5 m

Masses = dead loads + 0.24 live loads 2 = 0.3 offices  = 0.8 Storeys with correlated occupancies

M = 600 kg/m² + 0.24 * 500 kg/m² = 720 kg/m² M = 700 kg/m² + 0.24 * 500 kg/m² = 820 kg/m²

• 2. Frequencies and eigen modes
• Establish and Compute the stiffness matrix of the system
• Establish and Compute the mass matrix of the system
• Compute the eigen modes and the frequencies
• Draw the deformed shape of the first 2 modes (by hand)
• How many modes do you have ?

• 3. Modal properties
• Compute the modal stiffness and mass of each mode
• Compute the effective modal mass in both horizontal direction
• Compute the modal share ratio for both horizontal direction
