gnitude
Magnitude is a measure of the size (or energy release)of the earthquake.
Each unit increase in magnitude scale is about a three
times increase in ground motion for the same distance
from the event. It is also about a 30 times increase in
energy release.

Ground motion - Calculation
2 basic methods to determine design ground motion
to determine the ground motion at
the site due to maximum expected
earthquakes
Deterministic
Probabilistic to determine the ground motion at
the site which has a desired annualprobability of being exceeded
For each source the maximum magnitude
that is expected is estimated.

• Typical methods include stone
columns, dynamic compaction,
grouting, soil cement mixing,
dewatering.
• Suitability of method must bechecked by field trials.
• For example stone columns do not
work well with a high fines content
(>15%).

Background to Eurocodes
• Set of unified design codes bringing together structural,civil, and geotechnical disciplines
• Adopted by all 28 member states of the European Union
• Conflicting national standards withdrawn by March 2010
• Main objective is:
“the elimination of technical obstacles to trade and theharmonisation of technical specifications”
(European Committee for Standardisation)

Eurospeak• Principles: Denoted by ‘P’ after the clause number – mandatory requirements
• Application Rules: Generally recognised rules that comply with the principles and satisfytheir requirements

Eurostyle
• General, Non-prescriptive, Flexible
• “Performance Specification for Design”
Pros•Gives designer freedomto choose appropriatemethod•Economies are possible•Allows for evolving designmethods
•Can be applied to widerange of design situationsin different locations
Cons
•Can be daunting for
those with little design
experience
•Less straightforward to
use
•Could be ambiguous
142
Design Philosophy
• Limit State Design is adopted in all Eurocodes
• Defined in EN 1990
• Fundamentally, all ULS and SLS shall be considered andverified where applicable
• Verification of Limit States should be carried out by eitherthe partial factor, or probabilistic methods
• Important Considerations:- Design Working Life
- Design Situations, e.g. normal use, transient, accidental, seismic

Failure by Sliding
Provided structure can hold itself together the onlyrequirement is for No damage
Design check
Small movement in 50% in 50 year ground motion
Failure by Bearing Capacity
Due to uncontrolled displacement the Life safety check will be
required. If the structure could collapse as result of bearing failure of
the foundation then the No collapse check is required.
Design check
Controlled displacement in the 10% in 50 year ground motion.
Possibly required to check for failure 2% in 50 year ground motion.

Failure by Overturning
If the structure could collapse due to overturning capacity failure then
the No collapse check is required. Otherwise the only requirement is
for No damage. For buildings on a raft failure could lead to collapse.
Design check
Small movement in 50% in 50 year ground motion.
For a raft, required to check for failure in 2% in 50 year ground motion

Structural Failure
Due to uncontrolled displacement the Life safety check will be

Design check
Structural integrity in the 10% in 50 year ground motion.
Possibly required to check for failure 2% in 50 year ground motion.

The Hermes is buil t on a narrow sit e in
Tokyo’s central Ginza distric t. It uses a
new structural system that relieves
seismic forces vertically through a
lifting rear column at ground floor level,
restrained by dampers.
This ‘stepping column’ system is able
to move wi th the earthquake, thereby
reducing forces and foundation and
steelwork costs .

• 1-D soil colu mn modelled in Oasys LS-DYNA.
• Took account of the effect of liquefaction.
• Took account of stif fening effect of the piles.
• Analysed the en ti re probl em in one s tep.

Foundation Design Options
• Foundation types considered included:
• Ground replacement.
• Closely spaced stone columns.
• Lowered foundation scheme.
• Bored piles.
• Driven piles (combined with stone columns).
• There was no clear cost advantage in any of
the foundation types examined.
