OFFICIAL CHILEAN STANDARD NCh3171.Of2010

Structural Design - General Provisions and


load combinations

Preamble

The National Institute for Standardization, INN, is the body in charge of


study and preparation of technical standards nationwide. He is a member of the
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION (ISO) and COMMISSION
PANAMERICANA DE NORMAS TECNICAS (COPANT), representing Chile before those
organisms.

This standard was studied through the Structural Design Technical Committee , to establish the
general provisions and load combinations for the design of buildings and other
structures, as indicated in clause 9.

Because there is no International Standard, in the elaboration of this standard it has been taken into
consideration of ASCE / SEI 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other
structures .

The NCh3171 standard has been prepared by the Standards Division of the National Institute of
Standardization, and in its study the Committee was constituted by organizations and
following natural persons:

4 General provisions

4.1 General

4.1.1 Loads and their appropriate combinations, which have been developed to be
used together, they are established for both resistance and stress design
admissible

4.1.2 For design resistances and for permissible voltage limits,


They must respect the design specifications for structural materials.

4.1.3 Buildings and other structures must be designed using combinations


indicated in clause 9, which must be used to size the elements of a
specific construction material throughout the structure.

4.2 Resistance Design Methods

4.2.1 Ultimate resistance design

in such a way that they resist the load combinations indicated in 9.1 without exceeding the
Design strength of structural elements.

4.2.2 Design by admissible resistance (admissible voltages)

Buildings and other structures and all their components must be designed and constructed.
in such a way that they resist the load combinations indicated in 9.2 without exceeding the

10/2/2019 Structural design - General provisions and load combinations
admissible resistance of the structural elements.

adequate rigidity that limit deformations, vibrations, deformations of
mezzanine and any other deformation that affects the projected use and performance of
Buildings and other structures.

NCh3171

4.4 Self-induced internal efforts

When applicable, internal forces caused by


differential settlement of foundations and for restrictions on variations
dimensions due to temperature, humidity, shrinkage, slow creep (creep) and
Other similar effects.

4.5 Analysis

The effects of the loads on each of the structural elements must be


determined by structural analysis methods that take balance into account,
general stability, geometric compatibility and properties of both short and
Long-term materials.

4.6 Structural balancing actions (counteracting)

All structural elements and systems and all building components and
other structures must be designed to resist forces due to earthquake and wind,
considering overturning, sliding and lifting due to actions such as
suctions, subpressions and others of the same nature, and a
continuous trajectory of the forces to transmit them to the foundations.

In cases where all resistance to these forces or part of it is due to the load
dead, it must be determined as the minimum expected during the occurrence of
fact that originates the forces. The effect of deformations must be considered
vertical and horizontal resulting from these forces.

When a sliding device is used to isolate the elements, the


friction effect between the sliding elements as a force.

5 General structural integrity

Buildings and other structures must be designed so that, in the case of


local damage occurs, maintain its structural integrity, remaining stable
against the original local damage. This must be achieved through a distribution of
structural elements that provide stability to the complete structural system, of

https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_f 7/18
10/2/2019 Structural design - General provisions and load combinations
so that they transfer loads from any damaged area to other areas that are capable
of resisting those charges without collapsing. This can be achieved by providing enough
continuity, redundancy, or energy dissipation capacity (ductility), or a
combination of them, to the members of the structure.

6 Classification of buildings and other structures

6.1 Classification according to nature of occupation

Buildings and other structures should be classified based on the nature of their
occupation, according to Table 1 in order to apply the provisions of
floods, wind, snow, ice and earthquake. The Occupation Categories range from I to IV,
where Occupation Category I includes buildings and other structures with a low risk
for human life in the event of failure, and Occupation Category IV includes
essential facilities. Each building or other structure must be classified in the highest
applicable category or categories. The classification of the same structure is allowed in
Various Occupation Categories considering the use and condition of load to evaluate such
Like wind or earthquake.

When buildings and other structures have multiple uses (occupation), it must be
studied the relationship between the uses of various parts of the building or other structures,
also the independence of the structural systems of the different parts. The
classification of each structural system of a building or other multipurpose structure
it must be the one that corresponds to the group of the greatest use anywhere in the building or another
structure that depends on the basic structural system.

6.2 Classification according to hazardous substances

Buildings and other structures that contain hazardous substances may be


classified as occupational category II structures if it can be demonstrated, to
satisfaction of the Competent Authority through an estimation of the risk that forms
part of a Risk Management Plan (PMR), which leaks toxic substances,
Highly toxic or explosive does not pose a threat to the public.

To qualify within this reduced classification, the owner or operator of the


buildings and other structures that contain hazardous substances must have a PMR that
incorporate at least three elements: a risk estimate, a program of
prevention and an emergency response plan.

NOTES

1) The risk estimate must include at least the scenario for the most unfavorable case event of
spill for each structure considered, showing the potential risk to the public in each of
they. The occurrence of the most unfavorable case must include total failure (instantaneous spill of all
content) of a pond, piping system or any other storage structure. A
most unfavorable case includes (but not exclusively) a spill during the occurrence of a wind of
design or a design earthquake. In this estimate, the evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures

2) The prevention program must consist of at least the sequence of actions for the management of
safety, which is based on accident prevention through driving controls in the areas
keys of design, construction, operation and maintenance. Secondary containers can be used
to mitigate the risk of spills of hazardous substances (including, but not exclusively,
double-walled ponds, dykes of sufficient size to contain a spill or other means to
contain a leak of hazardous quantities within the limits of the installation site and prevent
spill of pollutants into the air, soil, groundwater or surface water). When

mandatory practices and procedures that effectively reduce the effects of wind on
critical structural elements or that alternatively protect against harmful leaks during and after
of a hurricane.

3) The emergency response plan must indicate at least one public notification, one treatment
emergency doctor for accidental human exposure and emergency procedures for leaks with
consequences beyond the limits of the property where the facility is located. The plan of
emergency response should address the possibility that the resources used for the response may
be compromised by the event causing the emergency.

7 Aggregates and modifications to existing structures

When an existing building or structure is extended or modified from any


way, the structural elements should be reinforced, if necessary, so that
can withstand the higher loads defined in this standard, which must be
supported without exceeding the design strength specified for the materials of
corresponding construction. If a design for permissible stresses is used, the
reinforcement is necessary when tensions caused by nominal loads
exceed the permissible stresses specified for construction materials
corresponding.

8 Load tests

A load test must be performed on any construction when required by


the Competent Authority in all cases that there is a reason to question the
security of it for the intended use or occupation.

9 Load combinations

The load combinations and load factors indicated in 9.1 and 9.2 must be
used in the design of structures when the design standards corresponding to the
different materials so indicate.

In the case of seismic design, the provisions indicated in NCh433 prevail,


NCh2369 and NCh2745.

The combination that produces the most unfavorable effect on the building must be used,
foundation, or the structural element considered. In some cases this may occur.
