    Module 4. Lesson 1 Earthquake-Load-Combinations

    Uploaded by

    Rich Lenard L. Magboo
    This document discusses adjusting load combinations for strength design or load resistance factor design based on site-specific seismic parameters. It provides an example of adjusting three load combinations given data on the seismic source type, distance to fault line, soil profile type, location zone, importance factor, and redundancy/reliability factor. The example calculates the earthquake load factor based on these parameters and adjusts the load combinations accordingly, showing the modified equations.

    Load Combinations Using Allowable
    Stress or Allowable Strength Design
    Example:
    Given the data below, Adjust the load factors for the following load
    combinations:
    1. 1.2D + f1L + 1.0E
    2. 0.9D +1.0E
    3. 1.0D + 0.6W or E/1.40

    Given:
    Seismic Source Type = C
    Distance of site to Fault line = 25 km
    Soil Profile Type = Sa
    Project is located at Zone = 4
    Importance Factor = 1.0
    Redundancy/Reliability Factor, ρ = 1.12
    Solution:
    Given the data below, Adjust the load factors for the following load
    combinations:
    1. 1.2D + f1L + 1.0E
    2. 0.9D +1.0E
    3. 1.0D + 0.6W or E/1.40

    a. Calculate for Earthquake load factor using:


    E= ρEh + Ev
    Where :
    Ev = 0.5CaID

    Ev = 0.5CaID where: Ca = 0.32Na = 0.32(1) = 0.32


    Ev = 0.5(0.32)(1)D
    Ev = 0.16D

    Therefore
    E= ρEh + Ev
    E= 1.12E + 0.16D
    Solution:
    E= 1.12E + 0.16D
    Adjusting
    1.2D + f1L + 1.0E
    = 1.2D + f1L + 1.0(1.12E+0.16D)
    = 1.2D + f1L + 1.12E+0.16D
    = 1.36D + f1L + 1.12E

    Adjusting
    0.9D +1.0E
    = 0.90D + 1.0(1.12E+0.16D)
    = 0.90D + 1.12E+0.16D
    = 1.06D + 1.12E

    Please take note that the adjusted Load Combinations with Seismic/Earthquake
    component will be used instead of the standard equation presented in Slides 2 and 6.
    Adjustment of the load combination is needed in order to account for the varying site
    characteristics/seismic design parameters.
