Building code main objective is to protect life
and prevent structural collapse under ground
motions

In view of high level of ground motion


considered (2% in 50 years) and the difficulty
in predicting ground motions and their
effects on structures …

… ductile seismic design represents an


effective strategy to achieve code objectives
by controlling the system response and force
demand.

Design – Link Beams


Resistance can be governed by shear (short links) or
flexure (long links). Resistances affected by axial load:

Section must meet hd (md for flanges if e < 1.6 Mp/Vp )

e > d; upper limit on e applies in presence of axial load

Must meet limits on plastic rotation (p): from 0.02 rad


for e < 1.6 Mp/Vp to 0.08 rad for e > 2.6 Mp/Vp

Need for end and intermediate stiffeners; depend on


yielding mechanism & p

Warning!

Only basic design requirements have been


discussed; several other requirements must be
applied including those related to loads and
load combinations, demand critical welds,
protected zones, bracing, quality control, etc.

Only the systems designed and detailed for


high ductility have been introduced; provisions
also exist for other systems exhibiting
moderate and limited ductility that may be more
appropriate for some applications.

Seismic Design of Heavy Industrial


Buildings : Challenges

R. Tremblay, Polytechnique Montreal, Canada 166

83
Observations / Issues:
• Structures are not buildings:
– Irregular structures with heavy point masses and loads
and low damping
– Design is process driven and structure will likely be
modified to accommodate changes to the process
– Equipment may interact with the structure
– …
• Structures may have limited redundancy
• Damage under severe earthquakes must be limited:
– Structures may contain hazardous material
– No or short downtimes
• Application of ductile seismic systems not practical,
often impossible
• Current building code provisions not suitable
R. Tremblay, Polytechnique Montreal, Canada 167

Possible avenues:
Ductility (or alternative similar approach) needed to accommodate
uncertainty in ground motions and seismic response

1. Simple code provisions to control inelastic demand:


low R factors , use of dynamic analysis, etc.
2. Use of ductile anchorage systems with minimum
stretch lengths in combination with shear keys
3. Use ductile fuses in key structural elements to
control the force demand
4. Where applicable, use sliding or rocking systems to
control input
Above avenues are listed in order of ease of implementation
implementation and flexibility for future process changes;
however, the latest ones could be more effective

R. Tremblay, Polytechnique Montreal, Canada 168

In Canada, industrial structures are buildings and National
Building Code (NBCC) applies.

Conclusions
• Design provisions to achieve ductile seismic
performance for building steel structures are
now available for application in practice
• Design objective is to prevent structural
collapse and structural damage & residual
deformations are expected
• Some issues still need to be addressed
• Application of this design approach not
suitable for heavy industrial applications;
specific design provisions needed for these
structures
