Systematic vs. Simplified Systematic Rehabilitation Any Performance for any EQ Any Building Any deficiency Simplified Rehabilitation Life Safety for 10%/50 year EQ Simple Buildings conforming to model building types Limitations number of stories deficiencies 1

2 Applicable Standards The Basic Steps Start Determine Existing Configuration Select Performance Objectives Determine Design Ground Motion(s) Evaluate Building Determine Deficiencies Develop Preliminary Design Perform Analysis Acceptable? No Done! 2

3 Building Configuration Defines overall behavior of building including: Lateral Force Resisting Systems Intended by designer Actual, including: structural elements non-structural elements Gravity Load Resisting System Building Configuration Hierarchy of parts that comprise a building: Elements Components Actions 3

4 Elements Horizontal or vertical subassemblies that comprise a structure: braced frame moment frame shear wall diaphragm isolation system Components Individual members that comprise an element: beam column joint brace pier footing damper 4

5 Actions Independent degrees of freedom associated with a component, each with an associated force and deformation: axial force - elongation moment - rotation torional moment - twist Building Configuration Primary Any element (component) {action} required to provide the building s basic lateral resistance similar to the concept of a participating element in the building code Secondary Any element (component) {action} that is not required to provide the building s basic lateral resistance may participate but is not required to do so 5

6 Primary & Secondary Permits engineer to utilize judgment in determining whether a building meets the intended performance levels Secondary elements are permitted to experience more damage than primary elements Acceptance criteria for secondary elements are more permissive than for primary elements Primary & Secondary Slabs (as diaphragms) (Primary) Slabs & interior columns (as frames) (Secondary) Plan Walls at elevator & stair (Secondary) Perimeter walls (Primary) Elevation 6

7 Determining Configuration Developing an understanding of the existing construction configuration is essential to: understanding its probable behavior developing reliable rehabilitation designs Sources of data: Original drawings, specs & calculations Renovation & remodel drawings Previous engineering reports Interviews with building maintenance office, owners, tenants Interviews with original designers On-site observation & inspection Building Configuration Economic conditions often lead to gathering less rather than more data The κ factor a reliability based coefficient used to adjust component strength values based on the quality of knowledge about component properties 7

8 How much do you know? Level of knowledge is: Comprehensive complete original documents or extensive surveys (destructive & non-destructive) extensive in-place testing performed material strength coefficients of variation < 20% foundation types & capcities well defined κ = 1.0 Minimum plan & elevation information based on documents &/or surveys visual confirmation of primary elements limited program of inplace materials testing performred or default values of Chapters 4 through 8 utilized foundation types known κ = 0.75 Minimum Levels of Knoweldge Foundations type, dimensions and materials of components Collapse Prevention & Life Safety Levels type, composition, consistency, relative density, and layering of soils through zone of foundation stress influence Enhanced levels unit weight γ, shear strength, soil friction angle φ, compressibility, shear modulus G and Poissons ratio ν 8

9 Minimum Levels of Knoweldge Structural steel Use of default values, or: material strength original documents + 3 coupons from every each group of components of a specified grade, or limited original documents + 3 coupons from every component type 6 coupons from each element type, every 4 stories weld metal 1 sample for laboratory testing Minimum Levels of Knoweldge Concrete 3 compressive tests for each element type minimum of 6 for entire structure minimum of 3 for each class of concrete minimum of 3 for each story, 200 cu yds, or 5,000 sq. ft. of surface area for lightweight concrete - similar requirements for splitting tensile strength 9

10 Minimum Levels of Knoweldge Masonry visual examination & default values, or: establish compressive strength and modulus of elasticity using test prisms flat jack tests in-place bed shear tests for URM 3 samples for each 3 stories, or 3,000 sq. ft. of masonry surface if original records specify strength 6 samples as above, if not Minimum Levels of Knoweldge Timber original documents defining grade + 2 visual verifications of grade for each component type for each 2 stories, or species and age is known, 3 visual verifications of grade for each component type for each 2 stories, or if no knowledge, 6 visual veritications of grade for each component type for each 2 stories absent documentation, at least 3 connectors of each type removed for grading and testing 10
