Engineering for Earthquakes • Geotechnical Engineering Considerations • Site Response – modification of ground • motions by local geologic conditions • Ground Failure – mass movement of soil • (liquefaction, settlement, landslides, etc)
Path Source Site Response Problem: Predict the response of a soil deposit due to earthquake excitation Site
Site Response • Soil response depends on: • Type of soil • Thickness of soil • Stiffness of soil Bedrock • Results: • Some soil deposits amplify bedrock motion • Some soil deposits de-amplify bedrock motion • Some soils do both
Communications Building 30 m soft clay University Rock Site Response • 1985 Mexico City Earthquake • M = 8.1 • Over 200 miles away Young lake deposits
Site Response • 1985 Mexico City Earthquake • M = 8.1 • Over 200 miles away Rock – 0.03g Soft clay – 0.15g Soft clay amplified bedrock motions by factor of 5
Yerba Buena Island Treasure Island Yerba Buena Island Treasure Island Rock Soft soil Site Response • 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake • M = 7.1 • Over 60 miles away Oakland San Francisco
Soft soil Rock Site Response • 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake • M = 7.1 • Over 60 miles away Soft soil amplified bedrock motions by factor of 2-3 Rock – 0.06g Soft soil – 0.15g

Earthquake shaking High contact forces Low contact forces Engineering for Earthquakes Ground Failure Liquefaction Loose Sand
Earthquake shaking Engineering for Earthquakes Ground Failure Liquefaction • Soil wants to densify • Water pressure increases • Contact forces decrease • Strength decreases High contact forces Low contact forces

Engineering for Earthquakes Structures
Engineering for Earthquakes • Structural Engineering Considerations • Design of new structures • Retrofitting of existing structures
Engineering for Earthquakes • Design Considerations • Performance objectives Immediate Occupancy Life Safety Collapse Prevention
Vertical seismic loads • Gravity load (vertical) • Weight of structure • Weight of contents Horizontal seismic loads Earthquake motion Seismic Loading on Structures
Seismic Loading on Structures Earthquake motion
Rotation Shortening Lengthening Seismic Loading on Structures To prevent excessive movement, must restrain rotation and/or lengthening/shortening
Strong beam/column connections resist rotation • Types of structures • Moment frame
Diagonal bracing resists lengthening and shortening • Types of structures • Braced frame
Shear wall resists rotation and lenthening/ shortening Concrete Shear Wall
Structural Materials • Masonry • Very brittle if unreinforced • Common in older structures • Common facing for newer structures
Structural Materials Timber
Rebar Structural Materials • Concrete • Heavy, brittle by itself • Ductile with reinforcement
Tension Tension Prestressing strands Structural Materials • Prestressed Concrete • Strands tensioned during fabrication
Prestressing strands Rebar Structural Materials • Prestressed Concrete • Strands tensioned during fabrication Beam on ground – no stress Unreinforced Prestressed
Structural Materials • Steel • Light, ductile • Easy connections
