PERFORMANCE OF STRUCTURES DURING EARTHQUAKES
Rational studies along with a knowledge regarding theperformance of buildings in previous earthquakes haveshown that
Poor Building architectural design and planning woulddecrease the seismo resistant capacity of the buildingand also become the cause of collapse of the building

PERFORMANCE OF STRUCTURES DURING EARTHQUAKES
The seismic analysis and design alone do notensure good performance of the structure duringearthquakes. The building planning should alsoconform to the principles of earthquake resistantconfiguration
A real compatibility between the planning and thestructural design avoids a stepping of the seismoresistant capacity of the building and also providesa positive, efficient and integral seismic resistantsystem
Montreal’s Expo World’ Fair were 354 individual pre-cast concrete units were inter-
connected with post-tensioning cables, grouped into 158 apartments.

WHAT WILL EARTHQUAKE ENGINEER DO?
Earthquake engineers are concernedwith creating earthquake resistantdesigns and construction techniquesto build all kinds of bridges, roadsand buildings.
Earthquake engineers are faced withmany uncertainties and must besmart in their decisions in developingsafe solutions to challengingproblems. They rely on state-of-the-art technology, materials science,laboratory testing and fieldmonitoring.

BUILDING CONFIGURATION
IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 has recommended buildingconfiguration system in Section 7 for the betterperformance of buildings during earthquakes.
An important feature in building configuration isits regularity and symmetry in horizontal andvertical plane .
10
BUILDING CONFIGURATION
The Irregularities in building configuration system areclassified into two types.
1. Vertical Irregularities- sudden change in strength,stiffness, geometry and mass results in irregulardistribution of forces over the height.
2. Horizontal Irregularities – Refers to asymmetric planshape or discontinuous in the horizontal resistingelements such as openings and re-entrant corner andother changes resulting in torsion.

IMPORTANCE
Good Structural Configuration: Its size, shape and structural system carrying loads are such that they ensure a direct and smooth flow of inertia forces to the ground.
Lateral Strength: The maximum lateral (horizontal) force that it can resist is such that the damage induced in it does not result in collapse.
Adequate Stiffness: Its lateral load resisting system is such that the earthquake-induced deformations in it do not damage its contents under low-to moderate shaking.Good Ductility: Its capacity to undergo large deformations under severe earthquake shaking even after yielding, is improved by favourable design and detailing strategies.

Type 4: In-Plane Discontinuity in Vertical Lateral Force Resisting Elements

38
Type 5: Discontinuity in Capacity - Weak Story
A weak story is one in which the story lateral strength is less than 80% of that in the story above. The story strength is the total strength of all seismic-resisting elements sharing the story shear for the direction under consideration.
Do not confuse STIFFNESS with STRENGTH.

Building Configuration
The Irregularities in building configuration system areclassified into two types.
1. Vertical Irregularities- sudden change in strength,stiffness, geometry and mass results in irregulardistribution of forces over the height.
2. Horizontal Irregularities – Refers to asymmetric planshape or discontinuous in the horizontal resistingelements such as openings and re-entrant corner andother changes resulting in torsion.

L shaped Building
43
L – Shape in Plan / Elevation ?
44
Seismic behaviour of irregular shaped plansdiffers from regular shapes because the first canbe subjected to their asymmetry and/or canpresent local deformations due to the presenceof re-entrant corners or excessive openings. Botheffects give origin to undesired stressconcentrations in some resisting members of thebuilding
Plan Structural Irregularities
45
Plan Structural Irregularities
On the contrary, the ideal rectangular or square plane, structurally symmetric, with enough in-plane stiffness in its diaphragm, presents an ideal behaviour. Building shaped like a box, such as rectangular, both in plan and elevation, is inherently stronger than one that is L-shaped or U-shaped, that is a building with wings

Torsion Analysis
The analysis must take into account any torsional effects resulting from the location of the masses relative to the centers of resistance.
In addition to the predicted torsion, accidental torsion must be applied for structures with rigid diaphragms by assuming the center of mass at each level is moved from its actual location a distance equal to 5% the building dimension perpendicular to the direction of motion.
53
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

56
ROLE OF FLOOR When beams bend in vert
direction during earthquake the thin slabs move along with them (fig) & when beams move with columns in horz direction the slab forces the beams to move together with it
In most buildings the geometric distortion of slab is negligible in the horizontal plane; this behavior is known as rigid diaphragm action .
57
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.
58
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
59
Type 5: Nonparallel Systems
The vertical lateral force-resisting elements are not parallel to or symmetric about the major orthogonal axes of the lateral force resisting system.
Analyze for forces applied in the direction that causes the most critical load effect
60
General Guidelines for Planning
Building and its Structure Should Have a Uniform and Continuous Distribution of
Mass, Stiffness, Strength and Ductility
61
Regular and Irregular Configurations
To perform well in an earthquake, a building should possess four main attributes:◦ Simple and regular configuration◦ Adequate lateral strength◦ Stiffness◦ Ductility
Buildings having simple regular geometry and uniformly distributed mass and stiffness in plan as well as in elevation, suffer much less damage than buildings with irregular configurations.
Buildings with plan irregularity suffer from torsional modes of vibration whose effects may not be adequately represented in the equivalent static seismic coefficient method.
