Q

FORCES WITHIN A BUILDING IN A SEISMIC EVENT - FORMULA

A

FORCES WITHIN A BUILDING IN A SEISMIC EVENT OR EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

Q

3 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF EQUILIBRIUM APPLIED BUILDINGS.

A
  • The sum of all vertical forces acting on a body must equal zero
  • The sum of all horizontal forces acting on the body must equal zero
  • The sum of all moments acting on the body must equal zero.

Measured in P waves and S waves, P waves are faster
48
Displacement
Distance that points on the ground are moved from the initial position
49
Frequenzy High Frequency Waves
Small velocities and acceleration
50
Frequenzy Low Frequency Waves
Large velocities and displacements
51
typ. periods (seismic)
one second per 10 stories
52
Ground Amplification:
"Shaking levels at a site may be increased, or amplified, by focusing of seismic energy caused by the geometry of the sediment velocity structure, such as basin subsurface topography, or by surface topography."
53
Resonance:
Resonance "the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others"
54
Allowable Beam Deflection
The maximum vertical displacement of the member as it bows under loading. These limits vary depending on code requirements, but may be similar to L/180, L/240, L/360, or L/480 A beam spans 20'. How many inches will it be allowed to deflect if required to meet a maximum of L/240? 20’ \* 12” = 240” \> 240” / 240 = 1” Allowable deflection
55
• Gage line
• Gage line: standard dimension from corner edge of an angle to centerline of bolt holes. depends on size of angle

62
Unfinished steel bolts
A307 he A307 bolts were once the standard for all applications, but are currently used predominantly for secondary uses that do not require the high strength provided by A325 or A490 bolts.
63
Pressure P formula
Pressure P is defined as P=F/A where F is a force applied to an area A that is perpendicular to the force.
