Structural Configuration and Seismic
Performance
The configuration of a structure can significantly
affect its performance during a strong earthquake
that produces the ground motion contemplated in
the IBC/ASCE 7.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Structural Configuration and Seismic
Performance
▪IBC/ASCE 7 seismic design provisions were
developed basically for regular buildings.
▪Past earthquakes have repeatedly shown that
irregular buildings suffer greater damage than
regular buildings.
▪This happens even with good design and
construction.

Earthquake Experience

Magnitude 7.1
Loma Prieta, CA
October 17, 1989
Three and four story wood frame, brick veneer buildings in
the Marina District of San Francisco sustained damage as a
consequence of the ground shaking (10%g at rock sites, 20
to 30%g on sites underlain by bay mud) and liquefaction.
The soft first story made the buildings more vulnerable.
Buildings at corners of blocks sustained heavier damage
than those within the block.

Failure of columns of “SOFT STORY” Olive View Hospital.


The failure of the canopy pinned the ambulances, rendering
them useless. Ground shaking is estimated to have reached
approximately 100%g at the site.

Earthquake Experience
Magnitude 7.9
Philippines
August 16, 1976

Damage to reinforced concrete building. Torsion (or twisting) of


structures is a common cause of failure when the centers of mass
and stiffness are different. Buildings at corners of blocks are often
more vulnerable than those within the block because two sides are
open (e.g. glass windows for advertising) and two sides are solid
(e.g. at property lines). The first floor has pancaked.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT
Reasons for Poor Seismic Performance
of Irregular Structures
In a regular structure, inelastic demands produced
by strong ground shaking tend to be well distributed
throughout the structure, resulting in a dispersion of
energy dissipation and damage.
In irregular structures, inelastic behavior can
concentrate in the zone of irregularity, resulting in
rapid failure of structural elements in these areas.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Reasons for Poor Seismic Performance
of Irregular Structures
Some irregularities
introduce unanticipated
stresses into the structure,
which designers frequently
overlook when detailing the
structural system.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Reasons for Poor Seismic Performance of
Irregular Structures

Elastic analysis methods typically employed in


structural design often cannot predict the
distribution of earthquake demands in an irregular
structure very well, leading to inadequate design in
the zone of irregularity.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Code Regulations Concerning Irregular
Structures
▪Introduced in the 1988 Uniform Building Code (UBC).
Evolved since then.
▪Thrust is to encourage that buildings be designed to
have regular configurations.
▪Important feature is prohibition of gross irregularity in
buildings located on sites close to major faults, where
very strong ground motion and extreme inelastic
demands can be experienced.

Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity

Q. If the roof diaphragm has an opening in it which


results in the stiffness of the 2nd floor diaphragm
being 50 percent stiffer than the roof, does that
make it irregular? The plan irregularity definition
says story to story.
A. Yes, it would be considered irregular...doesn't
matter if floor or roof.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity

Q. I was wondering whether you have heard


anything about any exceptions in applying the Type
3 horizontal irregularity. This is the diaphragm
stiffness irregularity. One test is if the diaphragm
stiffnesses at neighboring stories differ by more
than 50%. This has been around since the UBC.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity

Q (Contd.). It would appear that almost all


buildings get hit with this considering metal deck
roof diaphragms are always much more flexible
than the concrete over metal deck floor systems
below. If so, then does the whole building get the
penalty for the irregularity regardless of number of
stories, or just the offending diaphragm level?

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity

A1. “I want to say that we exclude roof diaphragms


from the analysis because it is not a "story". The
intent seems related to buildings having floor
openings, etc. I admit I am having trouble finding a
specific exception or clarification to that regard,
however, I am trying to look closely at the definition
of the word "story“”.

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity
A2. “I agree that the intent is probably to compare the floor
diaphragm stiffnesses of adjacent stories. Each story has a floor
diaphragm. In a 5 story building, the 5th floor is the diaphragm
for the 5th story, the 4th floor is the diaphragm for the 4th story,
and so on. Having said that, there does not appear to be an
exception that excludes the roof diaphragm nor does the
language in the code explicitly exclude the roof diaphragm so it is
a little problematic to say it doesn't apply to the roof diaphragm.
The requirement dates back to the 1988 UBC so it may have
been part of the "Plan Configuration" provisions in ATC 3-06. I
don't have a copy of ATC 3-06, so I'm not sure about this.”

02/08/2022 URP | RAJUK | S-8 COMPONENT


Q/A Horizontal Irregularity 3:
Diaphragm Discontinuity Irregularity
A3. “Oddly enough, I can’t find any indication that it has been
dealt with before in code opinion or examples. I would like to
believe that roof diaphragms are not included in this
assessment, because so many more buildings would be
irregular. I’m guessing it is typically overlooked by default. If
you really split hairs on the definition of story it only goes to
the top of the rafters on the topmost floor, so the roof
diaphragm is not part of the topmost story – there problem
solved! Would that work?”
