SENS 54100605 Seismic design of buildings with multi-level basements Cetin Soydemir Holey & Alavch, Inc, Cambridge, Mass., USA Mehmet Celebi US Geological Survey Menlo Park, Cali, USA ABSTRACT: A simplified approximate procedure is proposed for the seismic design of high-rise buildings with rmul-level basements, which takes into account the sopersructure-substructuresoil interaction. To addition, ‘dynamic earth pressures developed on the exterior walls ofthe substructure ate considered. INTRODUCTION In current (1991) practice of seismic design of high: ris buildings with multi-level basements (Figure 1a) it is generally assumed tha the building is fixed supported atthe ground level, andthe superstructure (Figure 1b) is designed accordingly. However, the basement sobstructre (Figure 1e) does not necessarily provide a fixed suppor, andthe superstructure may ‘experience both a horizontal translation, w, and 3 rotation (rocking), a the ground level. Assuming thatthe substructure is rig it experiences the same o o a FLEXIBLY - SUPPORTED 'SUPERSTRUCTURE displacements, w and g. These forced displacements, in tur, result in dynamic earth pressures on the basement exterior wall, which should also be taken ito account in seismic design. ‘A simplified, approximate procedure is proposed to take into account the superstructure-substrocture-soil interaction in an idealized manner. The procedure follows the guidelines proposed by the U.S. National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program, NEHRP (1983). In addition, a simplified, approximate Approach is presented to entimate dynamic earth pressures on the basement walls. iio ‘suaSTRUCTURE o Figure 1.
