Performance objectives Approaches in other countries and current developments Christchurch earthquake Christchurch earthquake Mw 6.2 Christchurch (Lyttelton) earthquake struck Christchurch on the 22 February 2011. The quake was centred approximately 10km south-east of the Christchurch central business district (CBD) at a shallow depth of 5km, resulting in intense seismic shaking within the Christchurch CBD. 16 % out of 833 RC buildings in the Christchurch CBD were severely damaged. The seismic shaking in the Christchurch CBD significantly exceeded the 500-year return period design level, typically assumed in New Zealand for normal residential and commercial buildings. The East-West shaking was comparable or exceeded the 2,500-year return period design level in the period range of 0.5 s-1.75 s (approximately 5-20 storeys RC buildings). The 2,500-year return period design level is typically used for the seismic design of post-disaster function buildings (e.g. hospitals). However the duration of intense shaking was only 6 secs. Elastic horizontal acceleration response spectra (5% damped) in the Christchurch CBD and the NZS1170.5 design spectra (red solid) for Christchurch (soil class D, R = 20 km): Principal horizontal direction For most building periods (0.25 s < T1 < 4.0 s), both principal and secondary pseudo-inelastic response spectra from the 22 February event exceeded the NZ Loading Standard (NZS1170.5:2004) 500-year return- period design spectra (typical design level for normal use). The design force (and by extension, ductility and displacement) demands are exceeded by 2-3 times even for ductile reinforced concrete buildings designed to the Loading Standard. Structural types RC frames and RC walls are the most common multi- storey construction types. Out of 175 buildings with 5- or more storeys, 51.5% are RC frame buildings, 25% are RC wall buildings, 13% are reinforced concrete masonry (RCM) and 6% are RC frame with infills. Only 9 steel structures with 5- or more storeys were observed in the CBD. General performance of pre-1976 RC buildings Typical structural deficiencies of pre-1970s RC buildings are: a) Lack of confining stirrups in walls, joints and columns; b) Inadequate reinforcing and anchorage details; c) Poor material properties and use of plain reinforcing bars; d) No capacity design principles; e) Irregular configuration. General performance of ‘modern’ post-1976 RC buildings Beam-elongation and precast flooring unit failure: an extreme example in which extensive floor diaphragm damage with near loss of precast flooring unit supports occurred due to the beam elongation effect. Beam-elongation effects on the integrity of the diaphragm action of precast flooring units with brittle wire mesh. Critically damaged or collapsed RC buildings The building had several critical detailing and reinforcing deficiencies typical of that vintage (lightly reinforced walls, no boundary or confinement reinforcing for walls, lack of beam- column joint reinforcement, limited number of walls, inadequate column and beam lap-splice length and inadequate floor/beam to column/wall anchorage.

Kaikoura earthquake 22/12/2018 36 14 Nov 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake – Wellington Buildings Kaikoura earthquake The Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake on 14th November 2016 caused significant ground shaking in the Wellington region. Structural damage was isolated to a small number of buildings. Reports by engineers highlighted high deformation demands on flexible frame buildings. The duration of shaking was greater than 25 seconds The recorded ground motions showed a significant amplification in spectral acceleration demands between 1-2 seconds, in excess of the design spectra. which typically comprise of 5-15 storey concrete moment frame buildings Beam Plastic Hinges Reduced Precast Unit Support Precast Floors – Targeted Damage Evaluations 64 TDE buildings with precast floors 8 others with significant damage Significant Observed 11% damage: Distributed 11% None identified 43% Local 28% Isolated 7% No floor damage Critical A (floor) 3 Floor 5 No Frame 14% Damage No C (frame) C Frame(frame) 24% Damage Minor Floor 5(24%) identified identifiedDamage C (floor) Damage 4848 1616 4 4(19%) 75%75% 25%25% 19% ModerateB (floor) Floor9 Damage43% 9(43%) (a) Lateral system damage (b) Type of floor damage in those building Site classes: Semmens et al 2010 presenting lateral system damage Precast Floors – Targeted Damage Evaluations • Capacity of damaged units?? • How to assess drift capacity of buildings with precast floors??
