2. Performance Check of Structures
Purpose
How will a structure perform when subjected to
a given level of earthquake?
– Definition of structural performance
– Definition of earthquake level
– Determination of performance level
3. Performance Check of Structures
Process
Recently released guidelines for Seismic
Rehabilitation of Buildings:
– ATC-40
– FEMA 273 (ATC-33)
4. Types of Performance Checks
Linear Static Analysis
Linear Dynamic Analysis
Nonlinear Static Analysis
(Pushover Analysis)
Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
5. Performance Check Using Pushover
Expected Performance Point
for given Earthquake
Deformation Measure
Force Measure
Performance Limits
(IO, LS, CP)
Goal is to predict peak response of building
and components for a given earthquake
6. Why Do Pushover Analysis?
Design Earthquakes cause nonlinear
behavior
Better understand building behavior
- Identify weak elements
- Realistic prediction of element demands
Less conservative acceptance criteria can be
used with consequences understood
7. Steps in Performance Check
Construct Pushover curve
Select earthquake level(s) to check
Select performance level(s) to check
Select acceptance criteria for each
performance level
Verify acceptance
Capacity Spectrum Method (ATC-40)
Displacement Coefficient Method (FEMA 273)
8. Constructing Pushover Curve
Define Structural Model
Elements (components)
Strength - deformation properties
Define Loads
Gravity

Select Control Displacements or Drifts
Perform Pushover Analysis
9. Pushover Modeling
Definition of Structural Model
3D or 2D
Primary and Secondary Elements (components)
Non structural Elements
Foundation flexibility
P-Delta effects
10. Pushover Modeling (Elements)
Types
Truss - yielding and buckling
3D Beam - major direction flexural and shear hinging
3D Column - P-M-M interaction and shear hinging
Panel zone - Shear yielding
In-fill panel - Shear failure
Shear wall - P-M-Shear interaction!
Spring - for foundation modeling
