Aftershock Monitoring of Reinforced Concrete Buildings in Santiago, Chile following the February 27, 2010 Mw=8.8 Earthquake Presented by Anne Lemnitzer Project Collaborators and Contributors: Derek Skolnik (Sr. Project Engineer, Kinemetrics) Aziz Akhtary (Grad Student Researcher, CSU Fullerton) Leonardo Massone (Assist. Prof. , Univ. of Chile, Santiago) Juan Carlos de la Llerra (Dean, Catholic University of Chile, Santiago) John Wallace (Professor, UCLA) Anne Lemnitzer (Assist. Prof, Cal State Fullerton)
Preparation of Instrumentation Layouts Equipment provided by NEES@UCLA Instrumentation used:
Instrumented Buildings • Buildings selected based on: • - Access and permission • Typical design layouts representative for Chile and the US • Local collaborator for building selection: Juan Carlos de la Llerra Located in Santiago, Chile Ambient Vibration 2 Aftershocks Ambient Vibration 30 Aftershocks Ambient Vibration 4 Aftershocks
Building A: • -23 story RC office building in Santiago’s • Business district • Structural system: • 2 inner cores with surrounding frame • - Post Earthquake structural damage: None
Instrumentation Layout: Level 1: N Glass-facade Elevators Roof: Stairway Elevators DAQ
Building B: • -10 story RC residential building • - Structural system: • Shear Walls • Post Earthquake damage: • Shear wall failure, • Column buckling, • Extensive non-structural failure, • slab bending & concrete spalling
Observed Damages in the 10 story shear wall building: Repetitive Damage at the -1 level (Parking level): Wall-Slab intersections
Instrumentation on Ground Level: Triaxial sensor
Instrumentation Layout: First Floor (shear wall instrumentation) • Instrumented floors: • Parking Level (-1) : 1 triaxial sensor • 2nd floor : 3 triaxial sensors • 9th floor : 3 uniaxial sensors • Roof : 3 uniaxial sensors
Instrumentation Layout: Exemplarily for 2nd floor 3 triaxial sensors
9th Floor instrumentation: 3 uniaxial sensors

LVDT Measurements Vertical LVDTs Diagonal LVDTs
Shear and flexure deformations The rotation for flexure was taken at the base of the wall (so the top displacement is multiplied by the wall height), which is the largest value expected for flexure. If we assume that the flexure corresponds to a rotation at wall mid-height, the flexural component should be multiplied by 0.5.
2nd floor responses 3 triaxial sensors
2nd floor responses Torsion and rocking NOTE CHANGE IN SCALE FOR X- AXIS ROCKING 3 triaxial sensors Rocking about the x axis = orientation of shear wall (corresponds to shear wall cracking)

Future Studies for the Shear Building • Analysis of more aftershock measurements (Stronger intensities) • Transfer Functions • Further Analysis of Modal Components • Building modeling in commercially available software (e.g., SAP 2000 and others) • Provide data for shear wall research (cyclic model studies)
Building C: “Golf” • 10 story office building • Unoccupied except for floors # 2 & 8 • Inner core shear wall with outer • frame system • No structural damage • 4 parking levels (-1 through -4) • Instrumented floors: 1 & 10 • Sensors: 8 accelerometers
The only earthquake damage observed: Minor glass breaking on outside Fassade

Accelerations Floor 1 & 10 u2 u1 v0 v1 v2 q0 u0 u4 u3 v2 v3 Center acc were calculated assuming rigid diaphragms and using the following equations:
Max values 1st floor: E_W Center acc : 1.2 cm/s2 Corner acc: 1.2 cm/s2 N_S Center acc: 1.2 cm/s2 Corner: 1.2 cm/s2 Accelerations Floor 1 & 10 No Torsion Max values 10th floor: E_W Center acc : 3.5 cm/s2 Corner acc: 4.3 cm/s2 N_S Center acc: 2.8 cm/s2 Edge: 5.0 cm/s2 Torsion
Displacements Floor 1 & 10 Max values 1st floor: E_W Center acc : 0.31 mm Corner acc: 0.32 mm N_S Center acc: 0.29 mm Edge: 0.29 mm Perfect rigid body motion at 1st floor Max values 10th floor: E_W Center acc : 1.15 mm Corner acc: 1.2 mm N_S Center acc: 0.74 mm Edge: 1.24mm Twisting / Torsion on 10th floor
Future Steps: • Understanding building modal behavior • Building modeling and more advanced system identification (e.g., transfer functions) to obtain better modal properties (e.g., damping, mode shapes… if possible) • Test rigid diaphragm assumption using sensor redundancy on floors (e.g., comparing floor center motions using different subsets of sensors) • Comprehensive building modeling in SAP 2000 or equivalent software packages • Data sharing at the NEES platform
Lessons Learned • Airport regulations (invitation letters, label equipment as non stationary) • Trigger and record mechanisms (set minimum recording time vs. EQ duration + Dt) • Instrumentation cabling (<100m, Power supplies) • Time Frame (aftershock span) • Local collaboration (building access, installation, translations) • Equipment Transportation (luggage vs shipping) • Take Pictures of every sensor with reference on it….
