    A three dimensional seismic analysis of a bubble system of housing 2

    1. Introduction

    A powerful earthquake has occurred in the southeastern region of Iran on the 26 th December 2003.

    The magnitude of this event was reported to be 6.6 by USGS. In Bam Township, more than 40,000 waskilled and more than 25,000 was injured. The buildings in these regions are highly vulnerable even to

    moderate earthquakes and most of them completely collapse when subjected to this earthquake.

    The population of Bam was estimated to be 100,000 at time of the earthquake in 2003. So a

    project of a new concept of construction is developed and proposed for this area.

    In this study, a seismic analysis of a modular bubble system of housing is presented. This type

    structure is designed by the architect Mr. Justus Dahinden. It consists of a medium tubular main unit as

    cylindrical structure, and number of cupola units or monolithic domes that are connected to the cylindrical

    main unit. This system is based on the shell concept. This concept is known as differentiated shellconstruction.

    It is well known that Shells structures gain their strength by virtue of the three dimensional

    development of their surfaces, with a resulting ability to carry external loads primarily through in-plane

    stresses rather bending. The internal force and stress distribution in shell structures, and especially for

    domes, is in general, spatial. Then a careful study must be preformed to catch the real behavior of such

    structures under lateral forces when bending will be a non-negligible effect. In general, relatively simple

    and idealized cases could readily be solved analytically. However, for more complex structures under

    combined loading paths, these are relegated to the domain of numerical analysis.The main difficulty in designing structures that are subjected to seismic action is to calculate the

    forces generated by this phenomenon. Some codes do not contain specifications for uncommon structures,

    such as domes. So, a three dimensional finite element model for seismic analysis is then required. A

    modal spectral analysis is performed on the basis of the SIA Swiss codes using ANSYS finite element

    package commercial software.

    Regarding seismic actions in Bam region, a specific seismological investigation was performed in

    order to update the seismic hazard according to the new data gained by the Bam earthquake.

    2. Description of the Bubble system

    2.1. Geometrical characteristics of the Bubble system

    The concept is a one story concrete tubular and concrete cupolas modular system for housing. The

    cupola units are jointed according to need around the tubular main unit. The connecting links between the

    tubular and cupola forms act as flexible joints. Then, the both tubular and domes units are studied

    separately.

    The cupola structure is pierced by a skylight with two large openings at the lateral sides. One of

    these openings is used to have an access to the tubular unit. The tubular unit has also two large openings

    for domes connection. Both, tubular and domes units have no bearing walls. This allows the subdivision of the units into a number of partitions.

    The structures are assumed to be rigidly connected to the floor foundation. Then, dome and

    tubular units are considered to have continuous support. However, the structural behavior of domes is

    represented by the so-called arch action mechanism of the shell along the meridional direction. The

    tubular and cupola unit dimensions for structural modeling are given in the following figures.

    2.2. Reinforced concrete shell structures

    2.2.1. Design of reinforced concrete shells structures

    In concrete shell structures, reinforcement is required to resist tensile stresses, as well as to control

    shrinkage and thermal cracking. In shell structures, the reinforcement bars which resist the in-plane stress

    resultants should be placed in two or more directions and should ideally be oriented in the general

    directions of the principal tensile stresses, especially in regions of high tension. Reinforcement to resist

    stress couples should be placed near both faces even though moment reversal is not anticipated, since the

    bending may vary rapidly along the surface. Under seismic loading, the two layers are also include the

    membrane reinforcement. The provision of adequate clearance and cover may necessitate increasing the

    shell thickness. In the current structure, the thickness of the bubble system was taken to be equal to 20 cm.

    A special attention is required for edges members and opening frames that must be proportioned to resist

    the forces imparted by the shell.

    In practice, we can consider two regions in shell structures where the stresses are primarily in-

    plane or membrane and regions where there is significant bending action. In the first case, direct tensile

    stresses should be resisted entirely by reinforcing steel in concrete shells. Regions with direct compressive

    stresses are generally controlled by stability requirements. In the second case, the moments or stress

    couples may resist by considering a concrete section with reinforcement near the surfaces to act as a wide

    flexural member. So, a suitable depth is required for facilitate the provision of ample reinforcing steel.

    2.2.2. Non linear method of RC shell structures reinforcements design

    The values of internal stress resultants and distribution are necessary to perform the design of

    reinforcement. Under lateral seismic loading with gravity loads, reinforcement design in RC shell is more

    complex that the case with gravity loads only.

    For most of the proposed methods, the shell resultants are computed from elastic analysis of the

    structure, while the design of the bending and membrane reinforcing takes into account the inelastic

    behavior of steel and concrete. Stephan J. Medwadowski and al. [Design of reinforcement in concrete

    shells: a unified approach, Jour. of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, IASS,

    pp. 41-50, Vol. 45 (2004) April n. 144] have proposed a unified approach for design of reinforcement in

    concrete shells. This method is applicable to shells subjected to both bending and membrane effects.

    Chang-shik Min has developed an iterative numerical computational algorithm to design shell element

    subjected to membrane and flexural forces is used ([Design and ultimate behavior of RC plates and

    shells, Nuclear Eng. and Design 228, pp. 207-223, 2004]). This algorithm is based on equilibrium

    considerations for the limited state of the reinforcement and cracked concrete. In this method, the

  • 8/2/2019 BAM Report

    8/74

    A three dimensional seismic analysis of a bubble system of housing 7

    reinforcement design is based on combined membrane forces and bending moments obtained from a finite

    element analysis.

    For these methods, the main ingredient to reinforcement designing are the principal in-planestresses, in-plane forces or membrane stress resultants per unit length, bending stress resultants or normal

    shear forces per unit length and bending couples or moments per unit length. The direction of the principal

    in-plane stresses (angle between the principal direction and the local element axis) is of interest to

    determine the crack directions in the concrete. The reinforcement consists of two orthogonal layers placed

    at the top surface and the bottom surface, with appropriate covers. The capacity of the reinforcements will

    be designed according to the internal forces and principal stresses. The reinforcements are calculated per

    unit width of the shell.

    3. Finite element model

    A three dimensional shell finite element with shear deformations was used to model the bubble

    system. The analysis of the bubble system material is based on the assumption that the shell material is

    linearly elastic, isotropic and homogeneous material (See Appendix 1).

    According to SIA262 , the Young modulus of the concrete (concrete C30/37 type) is given by the

    following relation:

    x E = y E = z E = MPa f k E cm E cm 0.270003 = (art. 3.1.2.3.3 SIA262)

    4. Strong motion values resulting from earthquake activity at the site of bam

    According to the conclusions and recommendations of the seismological investigation, on the

    basis of the new data of the Bam earthquake, in this study we have considered a peak ground acceleration

    equal to 0,45g with amplification 3 to 4 for the type of soil (See Appendix 2). This amplification gives a

    range of 1,2g to 1,8g for the maximal acceleration (PGA). The local soil corresponds to the class IIa at the

    best (Table 1).

    5. Response spectrum analysis with ANSYS of the BUBBLE system

    In the following, an elastic modal spectral analysis is performed with an elastic spectrum. In the elastic

    range, the behavior factor is the equal to unit (See Appendix 3). The stiffness reduction due to initial

    cracks was not considered in this study.

    5.1. Modal analysis of the tubular unit

    The total mass of the tubular unit is equal to 43.93 tones. In the X-X direction, the most

    significant mode is mode 1. The corresponding effective mass is equal to 34.47 tones. This represents

    78.46% of the total tubular unit mass. In the Y-Y direction, the most significant mode is mode 3. The

    corresponding effective mass is equal to 12.2 tones. This represents 27.77% of the total tubular unit mass.

    In the Z-Z direction, the most significant mode is mode 8. The corresponding effective mass is equal to

    16.35 tones. This represents 37.21% of the total tubular unit mass (See Appendix 3).

    a/ The most significant mode in the X-X direction is the mode 1 having a spectral acceleration

    equal to 9.2606 m/s 2.

    b/ The most significant mode in the Y-Y direction is the mode 2 having a spectral acceleration

    equal to 5.3295 m/s 2.

    equal to 7.6135 m/s 2.

    5.4. Modal spectrum analysis of the cupola unit

    The modal spectral accelerations for the first modes among the most significant modes in the three

    principal directions are given in the following (See Appendix 3):

    a/ The most significant mode in the X-X direction is the mode 3 having a spectral acceleration equal

    to 7.1886 m/s 2.

    b/ The most significant mode in the Y-Y direction is the mode 2 having a spectral acceleration equal

    to 5.0424 m/s 2.

    c/ The most significant mode in the Z-Z direction is the mode 1 having a spectral acceleration equal to

    7.4385 m/s 2.

    6. Modal spectrum results combinationA well-designed structure should be capable of equally resisting earthquake motions from all

    possible directions. For non-rectangular three dimensional structures, a simplification in the current code

    is lack of definition of the principal horizontal directions which produces the maximum stresses. In

    practice, we are allowed to select an arbitrary reference system. If a major principal direction for the

    structure was chosen, the minor principal direction will be, by definition, ninety degrees from the major

    axis (Fig. 12). So that, both tubular and dome unit are modeled such that x and z axes are the principal

    directions.

    In general, a structure must resist an earthquake motion of magnitude S 1 for all possible directions

    with angle of , and at the same point in time, resist earthquake motions of magnitude S 2 at the

    orthogonal direction to the angle (Fig. 12). Three consecutive modal spectrum analyses were performed

    in the three principal directions x, y and z. In the both horizontal directions, we have used the same

    spectrum excitation defined in the paragraph (same PGA). However, in the vertical direction, a reduction

    of 70% in the PGA value is adopted according to the SIA seismic code. Finally, a static analysis under self

    A three dimensional seismic analysis of a bubble system of housing 13

    weight load due to gravity load by a applying a linear vertical acceleration equal to g=10 m/s 2 was

    performed.

    The spectrum combination was performed trough 63 possible load cases. The load cases aredefined to represent the response produced by 100% of the lateral input spectrum in one direction and

    respectively 30%, 70% and 100% in the other directions with negative and positive signs. The maximum

    positives and negatives values, respectively, are obtained for the following load cases:

    Case A: SW+Sy+Sx+Sz

    Case B: SW-Sy-Sx-Sz

    This result confirms the previous choice of the major and minor principal directions. But these

    load cases correspond to a conservative hypothesis. Moreover, for complex three dimensional structures

    the use of the 100/30, 100/40 or 100/70 percentage combination rules will produce member designs whichare not equally resistant to earthquake motions from all possible directions and can also underestimate the

    design forces in certain regions which are relatively weak in a certain direction.

    Note: SW represents the self weight response; Sx, Sy and Sz are respectively modal responses in the three principal

    directions.

    7. Results

    The most significant results are given in the Appendix 4. The maximum absolute values are:

    For tubular unit:

    Horizontal displacement in the X-direction : Ux 1.40E-3 (m)

    Vertical displacement in the Y-direction : Uy 0.657E-3 (m)

    Table 3

    The out-of-plane shear forces are negligible in the comparison with membrane forces; the bending

    and twisting moment are very low. However, in-plane shear force can not be negligible. This confirms the

    membrane resisting mechanism in shell structures. The figures from 1 to 48 (Appendix 4) shows that the

    highly stressed zones are always confined at the opening frames.

    Horizontal reaction nodal bending moment MX 0.68 (kNm)Vertical reaction nodal bending moment MY 0.725 (kNm)

    Horizontal reaction nodal bending moment MZ 13.03 (kNm)

    Table 4

    The higher value of the nodal reaction force FY is due to the fact that the tubular unit behaves as

    under gravity loading. The MZ value confirms the fact that X-X is the weakest direction.

    According to the plasticity condition for reinforced concrete members, the tensile stresses must be

    taken over by the reinforcement, while the compression ones by concrete. For concrete, we must check up

    if the tension and compression strength condition are satisfied (table 5).

    The dome unit is more deformable horizontally in Z-direction that represents the weakest one,

    while the X-direction is the stronger. Both tubular and dome unit does not exhibit the same weakestdirection with the respect to the location of the openings.

    We can extract the same conclusions as tubular unit concerning the in-plane shear force, the out-

    of-plane shear forces, the membrane forces, the bending and twisting moment. The figures from 49 to 64

    (Appendix 4) show that the highly stressed zones are exclusively confined inside and near the opening

    frames. The dome unit exhibits a much better behavior in comparison with tubular unit. The dome unit

    presents a uniform distribution of stresses in the cupola region.

    The higher value of the nodal reaction force FY is due to the fact that the dome unit behaves as

    under gravity loading. The MZ value confirms the fact that X-X is the weakest direction (table 8).

    1/ For the tubular unit, it exhibits a relatively uniform stresses distribution, however, a special attention is

    required for opening frame region. In these regions, highly membrane stresses are confined essentially in

    small zones.2/ For Dome unit, it exhibits a uniform stresses distribution. Stress concentrations are observed

    exclusively in the opening frames. However, the dome unit exhibits a very good behavior with

    compression resisting mechanism. The tension stresses are found very low.

    In general, we have observed that the bubble system can carry the external seismic actions

    exclusively by membrane mechanism. Globally, both tubular and unit can be considered as free of

    bending actions. Membrane reinforcement is still sufficient. However, the bending and shear field were

    developed in some regions to satisfy the global equilibrium (monolithic behavior) and deformationrequirements. The bending and shear field tend to be localized and confined is some regions to the vicinity

    of loading and geometrical discontinuities and deformation incompatibilities as opening connections, units

    base regions. However, the calculated internal forces are found to be not higher.

    Finally, a very satisfactory behavior under seismic actions is observed for the BUBBLE system of

    housing. We can conclude that the proposed system for housing can be recommended as a housing system

    for regions with a high seismicity. This is due to the most profound and efficient structural performance of

    shell concept.

    APPENDIX 1

    SHELL FINITE ELEMENT MODEL

    A shell element is defined as a three dimensional solid element in the form of a surface with a

    thickness small compared to its other dimensions. In general, in a shell structure subjected to applied

    external loads, internal stresses and forces may develop. A three dimensional shell element with shear

    deformations is shown in the following figure.

    (quadrilateral element - four nodes ijkl)

    For conveniency, we are working under Cartesian system. The so-called Mindlin finite element is

    used for the structural analysis. It is well known that shells structures carry the applied loads mostly-called

    membrane forces and shear mechanisms by comparison with so-called framed structures. In the shell

    structures under lateral actions, the bending field and shear field are crucial in the design of the

    reinforcements. The internal membrane (in-plane) forces consists of two membrane normal resultant

    forces xT , yT and a membrane in-plane shear force xyT per unit length such that:

    where : t is the shell thickness at midpoint of element, computed normal to center plane)

    These forces are the resultant internal forces which lie inside the middle-surface of the shell. The

    membrane forces cause the stretching of the shell without producing any bending and / or local curvature

    changes. These forces are associated to the membrane and shear stresses which are assumed to be

    uniformly distributed through the thickness of the shell. The bending and membrane mechanism are

    decoupled. The internal bending and transverse shear forces are expressed as follows:

    Where: x , y and z are direct stresses, xy , yz et xz are shear stresses. The thru-thickness stress ( z )

    is set equal to the negative of the applied pressure at the surfaces of the shell elements, and linearly

    interpolated in between.

    The bending forces field consists of two bending moments x M , y M per unit length, a twisting

    moment xy M of the shell cross-sections per unit length, and two transverse shear forces x N , y N per unit

    length. The symbols on the left hand sides of the previous defined equations can be used to represent the

    stress resultants at the point in study obtained from elastic analysis of the shell elements.

    For linear elastic shells, the internal forces can be calculated by the following equations without

    integration procedure:

    The component of stress normal to the shell surface (out-of-plane stress), z , is neglected in the

    classical shell finite element formulation.

    It is well-known for RC structures, that the reinforcing bars will be placed along the general

    directions of principal tensile stresses. In ANSYS, the principal stresses are calculated from the resolving

    of a cubic equation such that:

    The three principal stresses are called 1 , 2 and 3 . It is important to know that, in ANSYS, 1 is

    the most positive stress (tensile), 3 the most negative (compressive).

    However, the element resultants do not represent the maximum values of stresses developed into

    the shell elements. Thus, in some cases, the design of shell elements will be done using principal moments

    Estimation of strong motion values in Bam (IRAN)

    Report: Estimation of Strong Motion Values Resulting fromEarthquake Activity at the Site of Bam (Iran)

    Dr. Souad SellamiSeismologist (Zurich)

    I. Introduction

    The aim of this report is to give an estimate of the expected strong motion in thecity of Bam, to be taken into account for the reconstruction of houses destroyedduring the earthquake of December 26, 2003. This earthquake allowed newinformation to be developed. We will first present a summary of the earthquakecharacteristics done by an Iranian team for preliminary report after the earthquake.In the second part, we will give our estimation of the strong motion values with

    justifications.

    II. Earthquake of the 26.12.2003 in Bam (Iran) (extract from[1])

    The Bam earthquake occurred on 26 th of December 2003, at 07:56:56 GMT (05:26:26 local time) near the city of Bam, which is located in the southeast of

    Iran (Eshghi and Zare, 2003). The coordinates of the epicentre of this earthquakehave been determined by IIEES (IIEES, 2003) at 29.01N and 58.26E in 10km SW of the town of Bam , which is close to the coordinates reported by USGS (28.99N,58.29 E (USGS, 2003)), but based on the surface evidences reported by Zare(Eshghi and Zare, 2003), the epicentre is located under the city of Bam.

    The Moment Magnitude of 6.5 for this earthquake (Mw) have been measured based on the preliminary evaluations and the focal depth is estimated to be 8kmbased on S-P evaluation on the records obtained from the main shock (Eshghi and

    Zare, 2003). The macro-seismic intensity of the earthquake is estimated to be I 0=IX according to the EMS98 scale. The attenuation of the strong motion seemsto be considerable as the surface evidences and damages decrease sharply at thedirection perpendicular to the Bam fault (Figure 1).

    Although the focal mechanism of Bam earthquake was reported to be strike slip having a small vertical component (USGS, 2003), the strong motionsrecorded at the Bam station show a considerable vertical component. Themaximum PGA for the horizontal components are 0.7 and 0.8g, and 1.01g for the vertical component (Corrected values; BHRC, 2003). The Bam earthquakehas been accompanied by some geotechnical phenomena such as landslides,liquefaction and land subsidence.

    III. Estimation of strong motion values in Bam

    Hazard values

    The official hazard map of Iran elaborated by the BRHC (figure 1)considers Bam in the region with high hazard with a value of 0.3g. The highestvalue shown is 0.35g. The hazard map of Iran presented in the GSHAP study(figure2) shows a maximum acceleration (PGA) of the order 0.3g for a return

    Estimation of strong motion values in Bam (IRAN)

    period of 500 years. In regard to the last event of December 2003 we couldextend the nearby zone with higher hazard and take for Bam a value of 0.45g.The hazard level depicted on the map, 500years return period (exactly 475 years)corresponds to a hazard value, which has 90% probability of non exceedanceduring 50 years. This is the standard level chosen for ordinary constructions

    (private houses).

    This hazard value is computed for hard rock. To evaluate the hazard at a sitewe have to take into account the amplification due to the local geology, the siteeffect.

    Soil characteristics (amplification)

    The soils at Bam area are unconsolidated. From the satellite picture (figure3) andsites pictures (figure 4) shown on the report of the Bam earthquake (geology andgeotectonics).

    A soil study has been done in the region north of Bam (table 1). The localsoil corresponds to the class IIa at the best. An amplification of 3 to 4 times is

    possible. Figure 5 shows peaks of acceleration in the low frequencies 2-6 Hz andat 10 Hz.

    Response spectrum of the Bam earthquake

    From the December 26th earthquake, some information has been gathered. Thisearthquake, or the damages have a very strong directivity in the north-south

    direction for example as shown on the isoseismal map (figure 6).The Iranian strong motion network is well developed and many instruments

    are in the vicinity of Bam (table 2). One station was located in the Governors building in Bam [8.4]. This house has been damaged but the data were safe. Thedata showed a strong PGA of 1.02 vertical, 0.7 and 0,8g respectively in thedirections NS and EO (figures 7 and 8). The Fourier spectrum and responsespectrum for this earthquake are also available (figures 9, 10, 11 and12)

    Discussion

    If we consider the hazard value up to 0.45g and the amplification (3 to 4) for thetype of soil, it gives a range of 1.2 to 1.8g for the maximal acceleration (PGA).We can compare this estimation to the last earthquake. This earthquake wasstrong with 6.5 Moment magnitude and rather shallow at 8km, which explains thehigh acceleration values. The accelerations recorded in Bam, 0.7 to 1.01g, areclose to the accelerations expected during a longer period or a stronger earthquake7 (figure 13). The directivity is typical of the type of faulting (strike slip) and thevicinity of the fault. The acceleration values at the epicentre are higher than themodel for a magnitude of 6.5 (figure 13). We also note the large verticalmovement respectively to the horizontal values at the epicentre, which is not thecase anymore further away.

    APPENDIX 3

    RESPONSE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS OF THE BUBBLE SYSTEM WITH ANSYSThe type of the analysis performed is the response spectrum analysis. This method is used for the

    prediction of displacements and element forces in structures. The method involves the calculation of only

    the maximum values of the displacements and members in each mode using smooth design spectra. The

    analysis consists of a three dimensional mode shapes and natural frequencies of vibration calculation.

    These are the undamped free vibration response of the structure. The structure has constant stiffness and

    mass effects. The mass is taken distributed along the structures by a density. Then, the structure is excited

    by a spectrum of known directions and frequency components. A single-point response spectrum method

    based on an acceleration spectrum introduced as a known function is used and implemented on ANSYS asa MACRO SCRIPT function.

    The selected modal analysis method is FULL SUBSPACE. This method did not require a set of

    master degrees of freedom, and it gives more accurate answers with the comparison with reduced method

    for eigenvalues calculation. But, it takes somewhat longer to solve. In this method a number of modes is

    considered for the structural response calculation. For each principal direction, the square-root-of-sum-of-

    the-squares (SRSS) modes combination method is used for the purpose of structural design. This approach

    assumes that all the maximum modal values are statistically independent.

    The significant modes are determined, in ANSYS, such that mode coefficients (MCOEF) for allmodes are compared with the most significant mode having the maximum mode coefficient

    (MCOEFmax). So that, a significant factor for combining modes (SIGNIF) is defined and taken equal to

    0,5% in this study. For a given mode i, having a mode coefficient MCOEFi, if

    SIGNIF>MCOEFi/MCOEFmax, then the current mode will be not considered as significant, and will be

    ignored in the global structural response (in the SRSS Mode Combination). The significant modes for both

    structures are given in tables and.

    Another parameter is the modal participation factor, PFACT that is used for the modal

    coefficient determination. This parameter is calculated by: PFACT = i

    ijiam ,

    With: ija is the N2 mode shape matrix, im the mass matrix.

    So, the modal coefficient, MCOEF, is calculated by: MCOEF = PFACT x S e(T) / ( )22 f

    f is the natural frequency, T the corresponding period and S e(T) the spectral displacement value at the

    current mode
