Code Provisions

After briefly reviewing the need for earthquake resistant construction in Canada, this paper summarizes the development of the Canadian code provisions for seismic design 'loads.' Canadian code provisions for detailing earthquake resistant concrete buildings and the manner in which some of these provisions are applied in practice are then described. A statement of the specific Canadian problems that still need to be solved conclude the paper.

abstract The normal-mode, response-spectra approach to the design of earthquake resistant structures forms the background to many design codes including the New Zealand one. In order to apply these codes, and thus establish the seismic design loads, predictions of the elastic dynamic characteristics of a building must be made as part of the design process. This paper describes the analysis undertaken using an electronic digital computer for the purpose of predicting the dynamic characteristics of one of New Zealand's tallest apartment buildings, the sixteen story Jerningham Apartments in Oriental Bay, Wellington.

The Individual

In the normal-mode, response-spectrum approach to earthquake resistant design of multistorey buildings the extended elastic seismic design loads are frequently calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares of the modal responses. The individual member forces are then determined using these seismic design loads. Previous research workers have examined the limitations of this technique and it is accepted as being generally applicable in practical design procedures. Recent computer analyses of projected New Zealand high-rise buildings have illustrated two conditions in which the “square root of the sum of the modal responses squared” rule is inapplicable. In this note these situations are described and suggestions are made of an alternative approach which may be adopted when deriving design loads in such cases.

Reversed Cyclic

The current seismic design procedure for prestressed concrete buildings in Japan is described. The design seismic loads for prestressed concrete buildings provided in NZS 4203:1984 are compared with those in the corresponding Japanese code. Comparisons between prestressed concrete and ordinary reinforced concrete buildings are discussed with regard to design seismic load, dynamic response during earthquake motions and the performance of beam-column joints under reversed cyclic loading. The results of several tests are summarised.
