Deaggregation of seismic safety in the design of the reinforced concrete buildings |
Secondary abstract: |
Design of earthquake-resistant buildings according to Eurocode 8 is not based on the concept of
acceptable probability of failure since standard introduces fundamental non-collapse and damage
limitation requirements, which are associated with the design seismic action. It is foreseen that the
non-collapse requirement is satisfied when the regular buildings are designed to withstand design
earthquake, which corresponds to a return period of 475 years and thus to probability of occurrence of
10 % in 50 years. Therefore, it is obvious that structures, which would be designed strictly according
to the fundamental non-collapse requirement of the standard, would be unacceptable for society. Due
to design safety factors it appears that structures withstand much stronger earthquakes in comparison
to the design earthquake. In order to assess whether the safety in design is sufficient and which factors
have the greatest impact on it, an eight-storey reinforced concrete building is investigated in the thesis.
The strength and system ductility of the six variants of the structure were evaluated on the basis of the
pushover analysis, wherein the requirements of Eurocode 2 and 8 were gradually taking into account
and the design assumptions were gradually excluded. Safety in design of the building was evaluated
by the difference between the calculated and prescribed behavior factor, the ratio between the design
and the near-collapse ground acceleration, which was assessed using the N2 method, and by the
escalation of the safety in terms of probability of exceedance of the near collapse limit state. It is
shown that the calculated behavior factor for the investigated building is 75 % higher than that
prescribed by Eurocode 8. This is reflected by the near-collapse ground acceleration. However,
questions arises whether the seismic risk of so designed building is acceptable, since estimated
probability of exceedance of near collapse limit state is 8.5·10-4, which is significantly higher than the
target reliability associated with other actions as prescribed by Eurocode 0. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Projektiranje potresnoodpornih konstrukcij po standardu Evrokod 8 ne izhaja iz sprejemljive verjetnosti prekoračitve mejnega stanja blizu porušitve, temveč vpelje osnovni zahtevi po neporušitvi in omejitvi poškodb, ki se nanašata na projektno potresno obtežbo. Prvi zahtevi je zadoščeno, če dokažemo, da se konstrukcija ne poruši za potres s povratno dobo 475 let. Ker je verjetnost pojava
projektnega potresa 10% v 50 letih, je jasno, da bi bila verjetnost porušitve konstrukcije, ki bi jo
projektirali dosledno glede na osnovno načelo po neporušitvi, bistveno prevelika in zato
nespr41ejemljiva za družbo. Izkaže pa se, da konstrukcije zaradi varnosti pri projektiranju prenesejo
bistveno močnejše potrese, kot je predpisan projektni potres. Z namenom, da bi ugotovili, ali je
varnost pri projektiranju zadostna in kateri dejavniki najbolj vplivajo nanjo, smo v okviru diplomske
naloge obravnavali primer osemetažne armiranobetonske stavbe. Za šest variant konstrukcije smo s
potisno analizo izračunali nosilnost in globalno duktilnost konstrukcije, pri čemer smo postopoma
uvajali zahteve standardov Evrokod 2 in 8 ter izločali projektne predpostavke. Varnost pri
projektiranju objekta smo vrednotili z razliko med izračunanim in predpostavljenim faktorjem
obnašanja, z deležem med projektnim pospeškom tal in pospeškom tal za mejno stanje blizu porušitve,
ki smo ga izračunali z metodo N2, in s stopnjevanjem varnosti v smislu verjetnosti prekoračitve
mejnega stanja blizu porušitve. Izkaže se, da je izračunani faktor obnašanja, ki smo ga določili iz
principa redukcije potresnih sil in projektne potresne obtežbe, za 75% večji od predpostavljenega
faktorja obnašanja, kar se odraža tudi s pospeškom tal, ki povzroči mejno stanje blizu porušitve. Kljub
temu se pojavlja vprašanje, ali je potresno tveganje za tako projektirano konstrukcijo sprejemljivo, saj
znaša ocenjena verjetnost prekoračitve mejnega stanja blizu porušitve konstrukcije 8,5·10-4, kar je
bistveno več od ciljne zanesljivosti, ki je predpisana v Evrokodu 0. |
