Hazard, vulnerability & disaster

Disaster = F (Hazard, Vulnerability)

Prepared by CT.Lakshmanan

Page 5: Earthquake resistant buildings for Architecture students

Ingredients of RiskH x V - C = R

Hazard x vulnerability – capacity = risk

H - potential threat to humans and their welfareV - exposure and susceptibility to loss of life or dignityC - available and potential resources R - probability of disaster occurrence

Capacity - “resources, means and strengths which exist in households and communities and which enable them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, prevent, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster”

Disaster Prevention, Mitigation & preparedness

• Prevention requires the elimination of risk while mitigation is the reduction of risk..

• Disaster Preparedness : Forecast and take precautionary measures in advance of an imminent threat.

Seismology The term ‘Seismology’ is derived from Greek word

Seismo, which means earthquake and logos means science; hence the Seismology is Science of Earthquakes

Seismology can be defined in two ways:

1. The science of earthquakes and the physics of the earth’s interior

2. The science of elastic wave (seismic waves)

Fault A fault is nothing but a crack or weak zone inside the Earth. When two blocks of rock

or two plates rub against each other along a fault, they don’t just slide smoothly.

As the tectonic forces continue to prevail, the plate margins exhibit deformation as seen in terms of bending, compression, tension and friction. The rocks eventually break giving rise to an earthquake, because of building of stresses beyond the limiting elastic strength of the rock.

DEPTH OF FOCUS

Shallow focus Earthquakes

< 70 km deep

Intermediate focus earthquakes

70 km ~ 300 km

Deep focus earthquakes

> 300 kmPrepared by CT.Lakshmanan

Magnitude Vs Intensity The magnitude of an earthquake is

determined instrumentally and is more objective measure of its size

Intensity of an earthquake is a subjective parameter based on assessment of visible effects. It depends on factors other than the actual size of the earthquake

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS TO MAKE A BUILDING EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT

1. Configuration

2. Ductility

3. Quality control

4. Base Isolation

5. Passive Energy Dissipating Devices

6. Active Control Systems

A terminally ill patient , however effective the medication, may

eventually die.Similarly, a badly configured building

Cannot be engineered for an improved performance beyond a certain limit.

1. Configuration

Page 32: Earthquake resistant buildings for Architecture students

Regular Configuration• Regular configuration is seismically ideal. These

configurations have low heights to base ratio, symmetrical plane, uniform section and elevation and thus have balanced resistance.

These configurations These configurations would have maximum would have maximum torsional resistance due torsional resistance due to location of shear walls to location of shear walls and bracings. Uniform and bracings. Uniform floor heights, short spans floor heights, short spans and direct load path play and direct load path play a significant role in a significant role in seismic resistance of the seismic resistance of the building.building.Prepared by CT.Lakshmanan

DuctilityLet us first understand how different materials behave. Consider white chalk used to write on blackboards and steel pins with solid heads used to hold sheets of paper together. Yes… a chalk breaks easily!!

On the contrary, a steel pin allows it to be bent back-and-forth. Engineers define the property that allows steel pins to bend back-and-forth by large amounts, as ductility; chalk is a brittle material.

The currently adopted performance criteria in the earthquake codes are the following:i. The structure should resist moderate intensity of earthquake shaking without structural damage. ii. The structure should be able to resist exceptionally large intensity of earthquake shaking without collapse.

The strength of brittle construction materials, like masonry and concrete, is highly sensitive to the

1. quality of construction materials

2. workmanship

3. supervision

4. construction methods Prepared by CT.Lakshmanan

Page 49: Earthquake resistant buildings for Architecture students

Quality control

special care is needed in construction to ensure that the elements meant to be ductile are indeed provided with features that give adequate ductility.

Thus, strict adherence to prescribed standards of construction materials and construction processes is essential in assuring an earthquake-resistant building.

Prepared by CT.Lakshmanan

Page 50: Earthquake resistant buildings for Architecture students

Elements of good quality control.

1.Regular testing of construction materials at qualified laboratories (at site or away)

2. Periodic training of workmen at professional training houses, and

3. On-site evaluation of the technical work
