INTENSITY–MAGNITUDE RELATIONSHIPS-
Intensity–magnitude relationships are essential for the
use of historical earthquakes for which no instrumental PART4
records exist
BASIS FOR DESIGN
DYNAMICS OF VIBRATIONS:
ATTENUATION OCCUPANCY CATEGORIES- For purposes
or earthquake-resistant design, each structure shall be
EARTHQUAKE OCCURRENCE AND RETURN placed in one of the occupancy categories listed in NSCP
Table 103-1.
PERIOD-It is of importance to estimate the frequency
of occurrence of earthquakes that are likely to occur in
an area that may influence the construction
GROUND‐MOTION MODELS
(ATTENUATION RELATIONSHIPS-The
‘attenuation’ of earthquake ground motions is an
important consideration in estimating ground‐motion
parameters for assessment and design purposes
where the
value of Ca shall be determined as in Section
208.5.1.1.
3. HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION OF SHEAR - The
design storey shear, Vx, in any storey is the sum
of the forces Ft and Fx above that storey. Vx shall
be distributed to the various elements of the
vertical lateral forceresisting system
4. HORIZONTAL TORSIONAL MOMENTS -
Provisions shall be made for the increased shears
resulting from horizontal torsion where
diaphragms are not flexible
