Design Objective

Gather an adequate protection for two limit conditions:

Ultimate Limit State A structural damage preluding collapse

It is preferred that the structrure undergoes to inelastic deformations

Exercise Limit State Damages occur to non structural emlements

It is preferred that the structrure remains elastic

Instruments

Use of linear or nonlinear analysis methods static or dynamic indesign

Use of capacity design in the structure design and conception

Use of the Ultimate Limit State Method in the structureverification.

Principal characteristics:

It is based on uncertainty of variables (actions, strengths)

Several aspects are considered (exercise, collapse) againstwhich the risk is differenciated.

precompresso e per le strutture metalliche

Limit States

Ultimate Limit States (ULS [SLU])

Corresponding to the reach of extreme conditions

Exercise Limit States (ELS, [SLE])

Corresponding to ordinary needs of usage and duration.



36/61


Ultimate Limit States

Are reguarding:

Safety of the people

Safety of the structure

Safety of the content (in some cases)

The Limit States to check are:

Equilibrium loss of (part of) the structure as a rigid body

Collapse, excessive deformatione, tranformation inmechanism, stability loss

Fatigue failure.



37/61


Exercise Limit States

Are reguarding :

Functionality of the structure

Comfort of the people

Appearence and urability (deformations, ctracking)

The Limit States to check are :

Excessive deformations

Premature or excessive crackings Decay, corrosion

Excessive vibrations.

Limit State design

Based on the use of models Of hte structures

Of loads

No Limit state is overtaken when are used adequatevalues of: Actions

Material properties

Geometry



39/61


Fulfilment of Requirements

The requrements are fulfilled by means of the use of the partialsafety factor g

The method foresees The introduction ofcharacteristic values

The transformation of characteristic bvalues in design values introducing th

epartial factors gm or gf



40/61


The partial factors

The design capacities of materials are obtained dividing thecharacteristic values of materials by cefficients gm (>1)

The design actions are obtained multiplying the characteristicvalues of the actions by gf

>1 or 1 depending from the fact that they increase or

decrease safety

Actions (F) and their Effects (E)

Action F

Each cause (dead loads, live loads, impressed deformations,chemical physical agents...) able to induce limit states onto

the structure EffectE(internal force)

Eache internal force (Normal force, bending moment, shearforce, etc.) thato is caused in the structure by the actions

In general, E can also be a deformation or a crackopening, etc.

2.5.1 Action classification:based on the way to esplicitate (chap. 2.5.1.1)

a. Directa. Concentrated Forced, fixed or mobile loads

b. Indirecta. Imposed dispacements, temperature and humidity variations,

shrinking, prestressing, restraints failure,

c. Decaya. Due to the material: natural alteration of the material in time;

b. Due to external factors: alteration delle caratteristiche dei materialicostituenti lopera strutturale, a seguito di agenti esterni.



45/61

2.5.1 Action classification:based on the structural response (2.5.1.2)

Actions:

a. static: not producing significant accelerations of thestructure;

b. pseudo static: dynamic actions producing significantaccelerations that may be translated as static equivalentones;

c. dinamiche: dynamic actions producing significantaccelerations



46/61


2.5.1 Action classification:based on their variation in time (2.5.1.3)

Based ontheir variation in time, actions are defined:

Permanent (G)

G1: structural loads

G2: non structural (dead loads) Variable (Q)

Loads on floors, wind, snow

Exceptional (A)

Hurricanes, vehicle crashes, explosions Seismic (E)

Deriving by earthquakes
