  13. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.Assessment of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames and buildings • Masonry together with reinforced concrete is the most widely used material in Bulgarian cuvil practice. • In Bulgaria masonry is used as: • Structural material • Non-structural material • Until now the effects of the infill on the behavior of the structures were usually neglected in seismic analysis of RC/masonry buildings. • 4.1Masonry-infills in Bulgarian civil construction practice • Use of masonry as primary (structural) material in combination with wood, steel etc. • Use of masonry as primary (structural) material in combination with RC. • 50s 60s – application in low rise buildings with up to 4-5stories (usually 3-4) • 60s – present – use in low rise residential houses up to 2(max 3) stories high • Use of masonry as nonstructural material • 60s – present – application in low, middle and high rise buildings with RC as primary structural material (usually RC shear walls are used) • Positives of the early designs: • Usually regular buldings • Use of bricks with no openings M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  14. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • Quality control of the masonry • Conservative design • Usually low height • High safety against premature out of plane failure of the masonry • Deficiencies of the early designs: • Designed according to low-level Design codes and usually lower seismic design acceleration • Poor detailing – lack of enough transverse rebar • Use of smooth rebar steel rods. • Low-strength concrete • Unknown quality of the mortar • Possible degradation of strength due to removed internal walls. • Brittle failure is expected • Positives of later designs • Designed according to better Design codes • Better detailing • Use of textured rebar steel rods (especially in the last decades) • High-strength concrete. M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  15. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • Neglecting the strength of infill is often on the safe side • Better performance might be expected (especially in buildings designed according to 1987 Seismic Design Code) • Deficiency of late designs • Use of bricks with high percentage of openings • Less conservative designs • Neglecting the stiffness of infill might be dangerous • Low quality control of the masonry construction due to the understanding that it is not important for the overall behavior of the structure. • Design and construction of irregular structures (especially after 1990) • 1990s period when overall control was not strict enough • Possible premature collapse of internal masonry walls (due to lack of connection between the frame and the masonry) M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  16. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.2Assessment of the behavior of in-filled RC frames • Importance • Lack of modeling techniques, prescribed in Seismic codes (either Bulgarian or Eurocode 8) • Types of infill models: • Macromodels • Bare frame • Single-strut • Double Strut • Multi-Strut • EQUIVALENT WIDTH OF THE STRUT M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  17. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • Micromodels M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  18. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • Comparison of Analysis Results M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  19. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • Nonlinear Strut Models • Importance and field of application • Data input requirements SEISMOSTRUCT Software Package nonlinear model M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  20. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.3 Application of infill modeling in assessment and retrofit • Linear Strut Models M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  21. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.3 Application of infill modeling in assessment and retrofit • Nonlinear Strut Models M. Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  22. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.3 Application of infill modeling in assessment and retrofit • Nonlinear Strut Models – Capacity Curves – Base Shear vs. Top displacement M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  23. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • 4.3 Application of infill modeling in assessment and retrofit • Nonlinear Strut Models – Strengthening of existing structures • Nonlinear Micromodels M. Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  24. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 • CONCLUSIONS • BDS EN 1998-3:2005 Assessment and Retrofitting of Buidings is the first complete structural code of this type in Bulgaria. • Contradictions between the old and the new code exist • Completely different principles • Different definition of “seismically resistant structure” • 2012 Pernik Earthquake conclusions: • The event in Pernik may be classified as a strong one (ref. 1987 code) • The event in Pernik may be classified as moderate or even low • Almost all buildings properly designed and constructed withstood the earthquake without severe damages. • Many of the Buildings that were constructed without proper designs and in contradiction to “good construction practices” were heavily damaged. • Some deficiencies of old local codes designs were detected. • Danger of falling non-structural elements of buildings during an earthquake exists. • Masonry-infills influence the behavior of structures. M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria

  25. ATHENS 12th of April, 2013 CONCLUSIONS 5. Modeling of masonry requires a lot of information and knowledge. 6. Introduction of national application handbooks is required. 7. Many of the buildings in Bulgaria may be rated as not seismically resistant if checked in accordance to BDS EN 1998-3:2005 8. But the last doesn’t mean that they really aren’t. M.Eng. VelyanPetkov The European Center for Risk Prevention, Sofia, Bulgaria
