Comments on the Response Spectrum Analysis Method

As Used in the

CALTRANS SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA

Topics 1. Why do most Engineers have Trouble with Dynamics?

Taught by people who love math – No physical examples 2 Who invented the Response Spectrum Method?

Ray Clough and I did ? – by putting it into my computer program 3 Application by CalTrans to “Ordinary Standard Structures” Why 30 ? Why reference to Transverse & Longitudinal directions 4 Physical behavior of Skew Bridges – Failure Mode 5 Equal Displacement Rule?

6 Quote from George W. Housner

Who Developed the Approximate Response Spectrum Method of Seismic Analysis of Bridges and other Structures?

1. Fifty years ago there were only digital acceleration records for 3 earthquakes

.

2. Building codes gave design spectra for a one degree of freedom systems with no guidance of how to combine the response of of the higher modes.

3. At the suggestion of Ray Clough, I programmed the square root of the sum of the square of the modal values for displacements and member forces. However, I required the user to manually combine the results from the two orthogonal spectra. Users demanded that I modify my programs to automatically combine the two directions. I refused because there was no theoretical justification.

4. The user then modify my programs by using the 100%+30% or 100%+40% rules.

5. Starting in 1981 Der Kiureghian and I published papers showing that the CQC method should be used be used for combining modal responses for each spectrum and the two orthogonal spectra be combined by the SRSS method. 6. We now have Thousands or of 3D earthquake records from hundred of seismic events. Therefore, why not use Nonlinear Time-History Analyses that SATISFIES FORCE EQUILIBREUM.

If Equal Spectra are applied to any Global X–Y-Z System

Seismic Analysis Advice

by Ed Wilson

1. All Bridges are Three-Dimensional and their Dynamic Behavior is governed by the Mass and Stiffness Properties of the structure. The Longitudinal and Transverse directions are geometric properties. All Structures have Torsional Modes of Vibrations.

2. The Response Spectrum Analysis Method is a very

approximate

method of seismic analysis which only produces positive values of displacements and member forces which are not in equilibrium.

Demand / Capacity Ratios have Very Large Errors

3. A structural engineer may take several days to prepare and verify a linear SAP2000 model of an Ordinary Standard Bridge. It would take less than a day to add Nonlinear Gap Elements to model the joints. If a family of 3D earthquake motions are specified, the program will automatically summarize the maximum demand-capacity ratios and the time they occur in a few minutes of computer time.

Convince Yourself with a simple test problem 1. Select an existing Sap 2000 model of a Ordinary Standard Bridge with several different spans – both straight and curved.

2. Select one earthquake ground acceleration record to be used as the input loading which is approximately 20 seconds long. 3. Create a spectrum from the selected earthquake ground acceleration record.

4. Using a number of modes that captures a least 90 percent of the mass in all three directions. 5. At a 45 degree angle, Run a Linear Time History Analysis and a Response Spectrum Analysis.

6. Compare Demand Capacity Ratios for both SAP 2000 analysis for all members. 7. You decide if the Approximate RSA results are in good agreement with the Linear time History Results

.

Educational Priorities of an Old Professor on Seismic Analysis of Structures Convince Engineers that the Response Spectrum Method Produces very Poor Results

1. Method is only exact for single degree of freedom systems 2. It produces only positive numbers for Displacements and Member Forces. 3. Results are maximum probable values and occur at an “Unknown Time” 4. Short and Long Duration earthquakes are treated the same using “Design Spectra” 5. Demand/Capacity Ratios are always “Over Conservative” for most Members. 6. The Engineer does not gain insight into the “Dynamic Behavior of the Structure” Results are not in equilibrium. More modes and 3D analysis will cause more errors.

7. Nonlinear Spectra Analysis is “Smoke and Mirrors” – Forget it

Convince Engineers that it is easy to conduct “Linear Dynamic Response Analysis” It is a simple extension of Static Analysis – just add mass and time dependent loads 1. Static and Dynamic Equilibrium is satisfied at all points in time if all modes are included 2. Errors in the results can be estimated automatically if modes are truncated 3. Time-dependent plots and animation are impressive and fun to produce 4. Capacity/Demand Ratios are accurate and a function of time – summarized by program. 5. Engineers can gain great insight into the dynamic response of the structure and may help in the redesign of the structural system

.

Terminology commonly used in nonlinear analysis that do not have a unique definition 1.Equal Displacement Rule – can you prove it?

2.Pushover Analysis 3.Equivalent Linear Damping 4. Equivalent Static Analysis 5.Nonlinear Spectrum Analysis 6.Onerous Response History Analysis

Equal Displacement Rule

In 1960 Veletsos and Newmark proposed in a paper presented at the 2nd WCEE For a one DOF System, subjected to the El Centro Earthquake, the Maximum Displacement was approximately the same for both linear and nonlinear analyses. In 1965 Clough and Wilson, at the 3rd WCEE, proved the Equal Displacement Rule did not apply to multi DOF structures.

http://edwilson.org/History/Pushover.pdf

1965 Professor Clough’s Comment

. “

If tall buildings are designed for elastic column behavior and restrict the nonlinear bending behavior to the girders, it appears the danger of total collapse of the building is reduced.” This indicates the strong-column and week beam design is the one of the first statements on

Performance Based Design

The Response Spectrum Method Basic Assumptions

I do not know who first called it a “response spectrum,” but unfortunate the term leads people to think that the characterize the building’s motion, rather than the ground’s motion.

George W. Housner EERI Oral History, 1996

Typical Earthquake Ground Acceleration – percent of gravity

Integration will produce Earthquake Ground Displacement – inches These real Eq. Displacement can be used as Computer Input

Relative Displacement Spectrum for a unit mass with different periods

1. These displacements Y max are maximum (+ or -) values versus period for a structure or mode.

2. Note: we do not know the time these maximum took place.

Pseudo Acceleration Spectrum

Note: S = w 2 Y max has the same properties as the Displacement Spectrum. Therefore, how can anyone justify combining values, which occur at different times, and expect to obtain accurate results.

0 If the axial force and the two moments are a function of time, the Demand-Capacity ratio will be a function of time and a smart computer program will produce R(max) and the time it occurred. A smart engineer will hand check several of these values.

RSM Demand-Capacity Ratios

If the axial force and the two moments are produced by the Response Spectrum Method the Demand-Capacity ratio may be computed by an equation of the following general form: R (max)

SPEED and COST of COMPUTERS 1957 to 2014 to the Cloud You can now buy a very powerful small computer for less than $1,000 However, it may cost you several thousand dollars of your time to learn how to use all the new options.

If it has a new operating system

1957 My First Computer in Cory Hall IBM 701 Vacuum Tube Digital Computer Could solve 40 equations in 30 minutes

1981 My First Computer Assembled at Home

Paid $6000 for a 8 bit CPM Operating System with FORTRAN. Used it to move programs from the CDC 6400 to the VAX on Campus. Developed a new program called SAP 80 without using any Statements from previous versions of SAP.

After two years, system became obsolete when IBM released DOS with a floating point chip.

In 1984, CSI developed Graphics and Design Post-Processor and started distribution of the Professional Version of Sap 80
