Type of structure q
Reinforced concrete frame structures 2.5
Reinforced concrete shear wall structures 2.0
Buildings with reinforced concrete skeleton (not frames) with 2.0
infill masonry panels design only for gravity loads
1ST LEVEL METHODOLOGY
Fundamental vibration period is roughly
determined as:
3
T1 = kT H 4
H is the total building height (in meters) over the embedment section
T1 = 0,1 n
n - the number of levels above the embedment section
1ST LEVEL METHODOLOGY
The mean values of the normal stresses in the vertical
members (columns or walls) produced by vertical loads are
determined based on their tributary area considering the
values of the gravity loads associated to seismic design
situations according to EN-1990 (or to the Romanian code
CR 0-2012).
In a simplified manner, in the 1st level methodology the
"indirect" axial force from the seismic action is taken into
account only in the marginal columns.
1ST LEVEL METHODOLOGY
The mean values of tangential stresses in the vertical
member (columns and walls) is determined with the
approximate relationship:
Fb
m =
Ac
Fb – seismic base shear force
Ac – the sum of the areas of walls' cross sections (only the
walls having the same direction as the seismic force) and the
sum of the areas of columns’ cross sections (only the frames
having the same direction as the seismic force)
1ST LEVEL METHODOLOGY
The global seismic risk indicator - R3 represents the
ratio between the capacity and the seismic demand
(in terms of strength):
𝑣𝑎𝑑𝑚
𝑅3 =
𝑣𝑚
𝑣𝑎𝑑𝑚 = 0.7 𝑓𝑐𝑡 – allowable value of the mean shear stress in RC columns
𝑣𝑎𝑑𝑚 = 1.4 𝑓𝑐𝑡 – allowable value of the mean shear stress in RC walls
𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑚 = 0.3 – allowable value of the mean normalized axial stress in RC columns
𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑚 = 0.15 – allowable value of the mean normalized axial stress in RC walls
QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION
THROUGH STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The global seismic risk indicator - R3 (expressed
as percentage) is used as a guidance for a
preliminary selection of the appropriate
seismic risk class:
Values R3 (%)
< 35 35 – 64 65 – 89 90 – 100
SEISMIC RISK CLASSES
Class RsI –
constructions with high risk of structural collapse to
earthquake waves associated to the design ULS
Class RsII –
constructions that may suffer major structural
damages, but the loss of stability is unlikely for the lateral
movement associated to the design earthquake.
Class RsIII –
constructions where structural damages may not
significantly affect the structural safety, but may record
important non-structural degradation.
Class RsIV –
buildings where the expected seismic response is
almost similar to that achieved for new buildings designed
according P100-1/2013.
DECISIONS FOR STRUCTURAL
INTERVENTION
The authors of P100-3/2019 considered that:
An existing building is safe enough if it is able to fulfill the
requirements corresponding to the ULS for earthquakes with
an Mean Recurrence Interval = 100 years.
