Changes to Chapter 1 (General) • We have changed the title of the document! • ASCE 7-16 will be known as: Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures

61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

University of Kansas

March 3, 2016

Changes to Chapter 1 (General) • ASCE 7 has for quite some time contained more than just design loads. – Chapter 1 contains a Risk Category Table, Strength and Stiffness requirements, performance-based design requirements, serviceability requirements, and General Structural Integrity provisions. – The flood chapter makes an explicit declaration that the effects of scour and erosion be considered. – The rain chapter places requirements on the drainage and consideration of ponding instability. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

March 3, 2016

Changes to Chapter 1 (General) • ASCE 7 has for quite some time contained more than just design loads. – The Atmospheric Ice section contains a specific design procedure for the consideration of ice loads. – The Earthquake chapters contains requirements on analysis, structural configuration directives, and prohibits some structural systems and detailing methods. – Appendix C contains serviceability requirements.

• The scope and commentary are also revised to reflect this change in title. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

Changes to Chapter 1 (General) • Reliability Basis for use in Performance-Based Design moved from Commentary to Provisions.

Changes to Chapter 1 (General) • The current load combinations and companion resistances used in our prescriptive design procedures are intended to provide reliabilities similar to those shown in the target reliability table. • The ASCE 7 committee is looking at these reliabilities in the context of many of our existing environmental loads. • Later in the presentation, you will see how the reliability impacts wind loads for Risk Category IV structures. • Performance-based procedures must also demonstrate that they provide a reliability not less than these target reliabilities. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

Changes to Chapter 2 (Load Combinations) • A new non-mandatory appendix (Appendix E) has been added on: Performance-Based Design Procedures for Fire Effects on Structures

61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

University of Kansas

March 3, 2016

Changes to Chapter 2 (Load Combinations) • Appendix E is not a mandatory part of the standard. • Provides procedures for performance-based design and evaluation of structures for fire conditions that result in fire-induced effects on a structure’s members and connections. • Constitutes an alternative methodology to meet project design requirements, as is permitted by Section 1.3.6 and the alternate “means and methods” of construction provision in the building codes. • Does not provide for design using standard fire resistance design with prescriptive methods, nor does it address explosions. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

March 3, 2016

Changes to Chapter 4 (Live Load) • Table 4-1 (Minimum Uniformly Distributed Live Loads)had no fewer than 16 very detailed footnotes in ASCE 7-10. • In ASCE 7-16, Table 4-1 has NO footnotes. • Footnotes were not deleted. They simply were moved over to the provisions. • This change makes use of Table 4-1 easier and increases the clarity of the requirements. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

New Chapter 6 (Tsunami) • The Tsunami Loads and Effects Subcommittee of the ASCE/SEI 7 Standards Committee has developed a new Chapter 6 - Tsunami Loads and Effects for the ASCE 7-16 Standard, which has been approved. • ASCE 7-16 to be published in 2016 • Tsunami Provisions would then be referenced in IBC 2018 • State Building Codes of AK, WA, OR, CA, and HI ~ 2020 • ASCE will be publishing two design guides in 2016 with design examples. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

March 3, 2016

New Chapter 6 (Tsunami) • The following buildings and other structures located within the Tsunami Design Zone shall be designed for the effects of Maximum Considered Tsunami including hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, waterborne debris accumulation and impact loads, subsidence, and scour effects in accordance with this Chapter: a. b.

Tsunami Risk Category IV buildings and structures; Tsunami Risk Category III buildings and structures with inundation depth at any point greater than 3 feet, and c. Where required by a state or locally adopted building code statute to include design for tsunami effects, Tsunami Risk Category II buildings with mean height above grade plane greater than the height designated in the statute, and having inundation depth at any point greater than 3 feet. Exception: Tsunami Risk Category II single-story buildings of any height without mezzanines or any occupiable roof level, and not having any critical equipment or systems need not be designed for the tsunami loads and effects specified in this Chapter.

State, local, or tribal governments shall be permitted to include Critical Facilities in Tsunami Risk Category III, such as power-generating stations, water treatment facilities for potable water, waste water treatment facilities and other public utility facilities not included in Risk Category IV. The following structures need not be included in Tsunami Risk Category IV and state, local, or tribal governments shall be permitted to designate them as Tsunami Risk Category II or III: a. b. c. d.

3.

Fire stations and ambulance facilities, emergency vehicle garages Earthquake or hurricane shelters Emergency aircraft hangars Police stations that do not have holding cells and that are not uniquely required for postdisaster emergency response as a Critical Facility.

New Site Factors Fa & Fv • Site factors adjusted to a reference site condition of vs = 760 m/s (instead of Site Class B) and to reflect more recent knowledge and data pertaining to site response. • Some values have gone up and some have gone down. • As before, if site class is unknown, use Site Class D EXCEPT minimum value of Fa is 1.2. • Section 11.4.7 will be discussed in a moment. 61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

DERIVED SITE FACTOR STUDY

PROPOSED APPROACH TO MINIMIZE POTENTIALLY UN-CONSERVATIVE SEISMIC LOADS OF THE ELF AND MRSA DESIGN METHODS Provisions Update Committee Meeting - September 15-16, 2014

Charlie Kircher Kircher & Associates, Palo Alto, CA Nicolas Luco USGS, Golden CO

Background—Root Cause of the “Problem” • Section 11.4 of ASCE 7-10 (ASCE 7-16) - Use of only two response periods (0.2s and 1.0s) to define ELF (and MRSA) design forces is not sufficient, in general, to accurately represent response spectral acceleration for all design periods – Reasonably Accurate (or Conservative) – When peak MCER response spectral acceleration occurs at or near 0.2s and peak MCER response spectral velocity occurs at or near 1.0s for the site of interest. – Potentially Non-conservative – When peak MCER response spectral velocity occurs at periods greater than 1.0s for the site of interest (e.g., softer soil sites whose seismic hazard is dominated by large magnitude events).

How to fix the “Problem” • Multipoint spectrum is the ultimate solution but is not ready for the 2016 Edition (Future Project 17). • “Factors” could be applied to the current ground motions to make the correction (fix rejected by ASCE 7). • Require site-specific response analysis in the following situations (fix accepted by ASCE 7 – in Section 11.4.7): – structures on Site Class E sites with SS greater than or equal to 1.0. – structures on Site Class D and E sites with S1 greater than or equal to 0.2.

• Site-specific studies will become more common place in large portions of the country.

Chapter 16 Changes Big Picture • ASCE 7-10 – Chapter 16 covered linear and nonlinear response history analysis

• ASCE 7-16 – Chapter 16 limited to nonlinear response history analysis • Linear moved to Chapter 12

– Conducted at Design Earthquake shaking – Acceptance values = 2/3 of failure level demands – Alternate procedure to ELF, RSA

61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference

– Conducted at MCER shaking – Acceptance values taken at statistical probability of failure – Supplementary procedure to ELF, RSA, or linear response history University of Kansas
