Seismic analysis of regious buildings |
Secondary abstract: |
In this diploma thesis, the results of seismic analysis of several religious buildings (churches)
from seismic prone area of Posočje are systematically investigated and presented. In the first
chapter seismic behaviour of masonry buildings as well as typical mechanisms of failure of
churches due to seismic loading are presented. Churches that were analyzed in this work
were: st Urh in Bovec, st Anton in Kobarid, st Anton Puščavnik in Čezsoča and st devica
Marija in Polje. The work on this thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first part, the
characteristics of the seismic motions recorded in Posocje region as well as the mechanical
parameters of the structures used in the analysis are presented. In this part also presentation of
two software packages for the non-linear seismic assessment of resistance of masonry
structures (Sremb and 3Muri) are briefly presented. In the second part of this thesis, the
results of analysis of churches is done in systematic approach: general overview, layout and
characteristics of structure, results of crack pattern survey following the seismic events and
finally the results of seismic analysis of the structure by either one or both software packages.
Additional parameter that was varied through this investigation was the set of material
parameters that might influence the results of analysis.
The results of analysis revealed that requirements of Eurocode 8 can not be met for this type
of structures in as-built conditions. Due to specific elements of architecture of churches and
their layouts, their seismic resistance in the direction of the main nave is much higher than in
perpendicular one. The results of analysis of those structures impose also the question of the appropriate control point (node or structural element) that would be reliable for the calculation
of the peak ground acceleration for particular limit state of the structure. For all analyzed
churches, bell towers seemed to be the most vulnerable element. Depending from the chosen
set of material parameters used in analysis, moderate changes may be expected regarding the
seismic resistance coefficient (SRC) as well as for the period of the first mode. The results of
seismic non-linear analysis derived through two different software packages differ
significantly. Pre-assumption for the application of Sremb is storey mechanisms of failure of
the structure, which is hardly applicable for churches. The results of 3Muri regarding the
failure mechanisms obtained by numerical analysis corresponded well with observed crack
patterns following seismic events. With 3Muri considerable lower values for SRC were
obtained in comparison to Sremb. Solely by grouting existing walls desired values of seismic
resistance according to EC8 can not be attained. Vulnerability of such structures can be
significantly improved by introducing horizontal ties, which was numerically approved. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V diplomskem delu smo celovito predstavili obnašanje sakralnih objektov v primeru potresne
obtežbe ter sistematicno analizirali odzive vec sakralnih objektov v Posočju. V prvem
poglavju naloge je na splošno opisano obnašanje zidanih stavb pri potresni obtežbi,
predstavljene so posebnosti sakralnih objektov pri nas in njihovi tipični mehanizmi porušitev
ob potresnih obremenitvah. V diplomi so obravnavane cerkve sveti Urh v Bovcu, sveti Anton
v Kobaridu, sveti Anton Puščavnik v Čezsoči in sveta devica Marija na Polju. Praktičen del
diplomske naloge je razdeljen na dva dela. V prvem delu so obravnavane, karakteristike
potresov v Posočju, ki so prizadeli obravnavane cerkve in materialne lastnosti konstrukcij.
Prvi del vsebuje tudi opis dveh programskih paketov (Sremb in 3Muri), uporabljenih za
nelinearno statično seizmično analizo. V drugem delu naloge je predstavljena izvedena
analiza posameznih cerkva. Analiza zajema splošni opis, opis zasnove posamezne
konstrukcije, analizo poškodb po potresih in rezultate seizmične analize, narejene z enim ali
obema programoma. Pri tem je bila potresna odpornost določena v odvisnosti od različnih
materialnih lastnosti in ob upoštevanju faktorja poznavanja konstrukcije.
Izkaže se, da zahtevane potresne odpornosti po določilih Evrokoda 8 pri obravnavanih
sakralnih objektih v obstoječem stanju v nobenem primeru ni mogoče doseči. Zaradi
specifičnosti arhitekturne zasnove sakralnih objektov je seizmična odpornost v vzdolžni smeri
objekta bistveno večja kot v prečni smeri. Pri analizah tovrstnih objektov se postavlja tudi
vprašanje merodajnosti kontrolne točke (elementa oz. konstrukcijskega sklopa) pri kontroli
talnega pospeška pri doseženem mejnem stanju. Pri vseh objektih so bili namreč najbolj ranljivi prav zvoniki. Izbira ustreznih materialnih parametrov pri analizi rezultira z manjšimi
spremembami tako brezdimenzionalnega koeficiente potresne odpornosti (SRC), kot
nihajnega časa konstrukcije. Rezultati potresnih odpornosti, dobljenih z obema programoma,
pa se močno razlikujejo zaradi različnih predpostavk obeh modelov. Program Sremb sloni na
etažnem obnašanju objektov, kar pa ni prav značilno za sakralne objekte. S programom 3Muri
pa smo dobili bistveno boljše ujemanje poškodb na objektu z numerično dobljenimi, vendar
pa tudi bistveno manjše vrednosti za SRC. Zahtevane potresne odpornosti ne moremo doseči
samo z injektiranjem zidov. Potrebni so tudi drugi ukrepi. Ranljivost tovrstnih objektov lahko
bistveno zmanjšamo s povezovanjem zidov z vodoravnimi vezmi, kar smo numerično tudi
pokazali. |
