SUMMARY The results from two methodologies for the structural design of a 42 story building located in Los Angeles, California, and a description of the properties used to model the structure for both cases are summarized. The building is laterally braced by a concrete shear wall core and two four-bay concrete special moment resisting frames (SMRF) in each direction. The rst design is based on a modal response spectrum analysis as prescribed by the International Building Code (ICC 2006). The second design, as prescribed by Los Angeles Tall Building Design Council An Alternative Design Approach for Tall buildings (LATBSDC 2008), with some exceptions, requires the building to satisfy service level criteria using a modal response spectrum analysis and a collapse prevention evaluation using 7 time-history non-linear analyses.

DUAL SYSTEM BASIS OF DESIGN

This report shows the results obtained from two design approaches of a building located in Los Angeles, CA, laterally braced by a concrete shear wall elevator core and two four-bay concrete special moment-resisting frames (SMRFs) in each direction. The building consists of 42 stories and a penthouse above ground level and four subterranean levels. For the purpose of this report, this building is referred to as building 2 (Figure 1). The design was rst based on a modal response spectrum analysis as prescribed by International Building Code 2006 (ICC, 2006). The building was then redesigned to satisfy the service-level criteria, and its components were checked to comply with the collapse prevention criteria under the maximum considered seismic event (MCE) as described in Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural Design Council An Alternative Design Approach for Tall Buildings (LATBSDC, 2008) with the exceptions mentioned under the Building 2A-Code Design section. The resulting structure with its components designed per IBC 2006 is referred to as building 2A, and the structure with its components designed and revised to comply with the service and MCE level of forces is referred to as building 2B. In all cases, the X direction of the building is parallel to letter grid lines, and the Y direction is parallel to number grid lines as shown in Figure 2. 2. GENERAL BUILDING PROPERTIES

Modulus of elasticity is based on the following equations: Ec = 57000 fc for f c 6000 psi Ec = 40 000 fc + 1 106 for f c > 6000 psi (per ACI 363R-921) B Per Table 2 of LATBSDC (2008), the expected material strengths are 13 f c for concrete and 117 fy for reinforcing steel. C Core walls are modelled using bre sections. If the concrete does not crack, EI is close to the gross concrete properties. (It is slightly bigger because of the steel.) As the strains on the bre elements increase, the effective EI decreases. Table 4. Building 2A specied core wall thickness and strength

Building 2A: seismic design

A linear modal response spectrum analysis was used for the seismic design of building 2A. The design forces were obtained from a provided 5% damped site-specic response spectra scaled in accordance with ASCE (2006), chapter 21.

Notes: A Cs values for both cases are governed by equation 12.85 of ASCE (2006) as shown in its supplement 2. B Seismic weight accounts for the dead load of second level and above. C The structure complies with 12.3.4.2-b, the redundancy factor equals 1. D Per section 12.9.4 of ASCE (2006), Where the combined response for the modal base shear (Vt) is less than 85 percent of the calculated base shear (V) using the equivalent lateral force procedure, the forces, but not the drifts, shall be multiplied by 085 V/Vt. Hence, for strength design, the modal analyses are scaled to match 085V = 4421 kip. E Refer to ASCE (2006) for the denition of each design parameter.

Table 6 summarizes the factors used for this analysis. A comparison between the prescribed code spectra and the site-specic spectra is shown in Figure 8. The model for building 2A was created using the program ETABS (CSI, 2008) including only the lateral force-resisting elements with their stiffness modied per Table 3. Concrete shear walls and SMRF are modelled from the foundation level to the penthouse and roof levels, respectively. Soil structure interaction is ignored, and the lateral stiffness of gravity elements is not included. The design of structural components was based only on the modal analyses results. No special effort other than those prescribed by code was made to detail building 2A. The representative plots for the design of building 2A are shown in Figures 913.

3.2 Building 2A: wind design Wind forces were calculated using section 6 of ASCE (2006). Table 7 shows the parameters and resulting forces used for wind design. By comparing the base shears and overturning moment from the wind and seismic actions, it can be concluded that the design is governed by the seismic forces. 4. BUILDING 2B: PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN

Building 2B was designed and checked for the following two performance levels: (a) serviceability level using an elastic ETABS (CSI, 2008) model; and (b) collapse prevention level using a threedimensional nonlinear step-by-step time history analysis with the program Perform 3D (CSI, 2007). For both models, the elastic stiffness is obtained from expected material properties and the modication factors given in Table 3. The provisions for seismic design according to the LATBSDC (2008) recommendations are followed with the following exceptions: (1) Service-level check is for an earthquake event of 25-year return period with 25% viscous damping. Up to 20% of the elements with ductile action are allowed to reach 150% of their capacity under the serviceability check. (2) The minimum base shear specied in the LATBSDC (2008) is waived. Building 2B properties are summarized in Table 8. Table 9 shows the periods obtained from both the serviceability and collapse prevention models using the stiffness assumptions from Table 3 and expected material properties (Figures 1417). The periods obtained by the program Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) from the model used for collapse prevention are obtained before the nonlinear analyses are performed. The frame beams, columns and coupling beams reect a reduced stiffness as described in the stiffness assumption table when calculating the period; however, the core shear walls are modelled using the uncracked properties of concrete. When the nonlinear analyses are run, the stiffness of the core shear walls is adjusted according to its strain prole. The periods obtained by the program ETABS (CSI, 2008) reect the stiffness of elements modied per Table 3. Table 9 shows a summary of the periods obtained for building 2B.

Serviceability analysis seismic force determination

The design forces are obtained using an elastic site-specic response spectrum analysis where the spectrum represents a mean recurrence interval of 25 years. This spectrum is shown in Figure 18. The stiffness assumptions used are those summarized in Table 3. Accidental eccentricity is not considered for serviceability checks per section 3.3.5 of the LATBSDC (2008) document. 4.1.1 Service-level design acceptance criteria Building 2B is checked for the load combinations using dead load, live load and wind load as described in IBC 2006, calculating the strength of each element as described in the same document. For the seismic design, the load combination used is described by Equation (1). DL + 025LL Eservice (1)

DL and LL are the dead and live loads, respectively, and Eservice refers to the earthquake demand at service level. The live load is not reduced; 025LL is also referred to as the expected live load. Orthogonal load combinations for earthquake loads are applied as required per section 12.5 of ASCE (2006). Per section 3.3.6 of the LATBSDC (2008) document, the overall inter-storey drift of the structure should not exceed 0005 hn.

Service Design Spectra

Figure 18. The 25% damped service-level site-specic response spectra

When checking against the load combination shown in Equation (1), 20% of the elements with ductile actions are allowed to have a demand-to-capacity ratio between 10 and 15. The remainder of elements should have a demand to capacity ratio of 10 or less. All elements with brittle actions should have a demand capacity ratio of 10 or less. For both ductile and brittle actions, strengths should be calculated using a strength reduction factor in accordance with current material codes. For brittle actions, strength is calculated using specied material properties. For ductile actions, expected material properties are used. Table 10 summarizes which actions are considered ductile and which are considered brittle. Figures 1923 show the representative plots of the response of building 2B at service-level. 4.2 Collapse prevention step-by-step nonlinear analysis

Seven pairs of ground motions modied to match the response spectrum shown on Figure 24, were used to represent the MCE with a mean recurrence interval of 2475 years (2% probability of exceedance in 50 years). A model was built in Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) to represent the lateral system of the building. The seismic mass equivalent to the dead load and its associated rotational moment of inertia is assigned at levels above the ground oor. The mass associated to the ground level and below is ignored. The core walls and moment frames extend down to the foundation level. The diaphragms at the ground oor and below are modelled with a nite element mesh to account for their in-plane stiffness modied per Table 3. The diaphragms above-ground level are modelled as rigid diaphragms by slaving the horizontal translation degrees of freedom. Ground motions are input at the top of the mat foundation. The foundation is idealized as rigid by providing lateral and vertical supports at the top of the foundation. The lateral resistance of the soil surrounding the subterranean walls is neglected.

Notes: Care needs to be exercised when detailing elements for ductility. Refer to Paulay and Priestley (1992) or Englekirk (2003) for a detailed discussion on detailing reinforced concrete elements for ductility. B Shear design for shear walls, frame beams and columns should be done using capacity design procedures as described by Paulay and Priestley (1992). C To ensure that a column or a shear wall is ductile in exure, the maximum axial compression should be limited as described in the acceptability criteria for collapse prevention. D When detailed per ACI (2008), coupling beams behave in a ductile manner as shown by Naish et al. (2009).

Per LATBSDC (2008), if during the serviceability evaluation the factor Ax as described in ASCE (2006) is greater than 15; accidental eccentricity should be considered during collapse prevention analysis. Because the building being studied is regular in plan and elevation, factor Ax is always less than 15. P-delta effects are considered in the model by the inclusion of a P-delta column at the centre of mass of the building with an axial load equivalent to the dead load plus the expected live load. This column is pinned at both ends on each level with its nodes slaved to the diaphragm dened at each oor. 4.2.1 Collapse prevention acceptance criteria To prevent collapse at the MCE level of forces, the acceptance criteria shown in Table 11 should be met. For actions classied as ductile, the strength should be calculated using expected material properties and a strength reduction factor of 1. For actions classied as brittle, the strength should be calculated using specied material properties and a strength reduction factor of 1. This capacity should exceed the smaller of the average demand from the seven time history records times 15 or the maximum force that the structural system can deliver. In order to achieve ductile behaviour, a plastic mechanism as described by the SEAOC Seismology Committee (2008) should be observed in the frames. Care needs to be exercised when detailing elements for ductility. Paulay and Priestley (1992), and Englekirk (2003) gave an in-depth discussion on

how to detail reinforced concrete elements to achieve ductile behaviour. ACI (2008) provides guidelines to detail coupling beams to sustain the allowed displacement demands as shown by Wallace (2007). 4.2.2 Core wall modelling properties The core walls are modelled using nonlinear vertical bre elements representing the expected behaviour of the concrete and reinforcing steel. The shear behaviour is modelled as elastic. The concrete stressstrain relationship is based on the modied Mander model for conned concrete (Mander et al., 1988) with a conning ratio as required per ACI (2008), section 21.4.4. The tension strength of concrete is neglected. For the bre elements, all concrete is dened as conned. The wall thickness used to calculate the exural and shear stiffness of the wall section corresponds to the conned thickness in anticipation of spalling. If in the MCE time history nonlinear analysis, the average concrete compression strain exceeds 0002; connement is provided. In order to match the curve dened by the modied Mander model (Mander et al., 1988), the initial elastic stiffness used to model the concrete material for the bre sections differs from that calculated by the equations given in ACI (1992, 2008). Figure 25 shows the curve dened by the modied Mander model (Mander et al., 1988) and the values that were used to model the stressstrain curve of concrete with specied strength ( f c) of 8 ksi in Perform 3D (CSI, 2007). Table 12 shows a comparison of the elastic modulus calculated per ACI (1992, 2008) using specied material properties, the same elastic modulus using expected material properties and the elastic modulus used in the nonlinear model adjusted to match the modied Mander model (Mander et al., 1988). Figures 26 and 27 show the Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) screen shots used to dene the concrete material for shear walls with a specied strength of 8 ksi. The steel stressstrain relationship is based on the material specications for A706 reinforcing steel. The steel material is modelled with a tri-linear stressstrain relationship with expected yield strength ( f yexpected) of 70 ksi and an ultimate strength of 105 ksi in both compression and tension. The post-yield stiffness and cyclic degradation of reinforcing steel has been adjusted by modelling in Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) the rectangular wall described by Orakcal et al. (2006), and adjusting it

4.2.3 Coupling beam modelling properties The coupling beams are dened as elastic beam elements with a nonlinear displacement shear hinge at the mid-span of the beam. These are connected to the shear walls using embedded elements as suggested by Powell (2007). The shear hinge behaviour is based on test results by Naish et al. (2009). To obtain the nominal expected shear capacity, the angle of the diagonals () is calculated using a distance from the centre of gravity of the diagonal reinforcing to the face of the beam of 5 in. when the diagonal reinforcing consists of two layers of rebar, and 7 in. when it consists of three layers of rebar. Figure 33 shows a sketch of the coupling beam diagonal reinforcing. To dene the behaviour of the displacement shear hinge, the displacement is related to the rotation of the coupling beam as described in Equation (3).

= Lb

(3)

where is the rotation in radians, Lb is the length of the coupling beam and is the equivalent displacement at a rotation . Figures 3238 show the backbone parameters used to dene the shear displacement hinges for coupling beams and screen shots from Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) for a typical coupling beam. 4.2.4 Moment frame beam properties The moment frame beams are dened as elastic beam elements with nonlinear rotation hinges and rigid end zones at each end. The rigid end zones extend from the column centreline to the face of the column, with a stiffness of 10 times the elastic stiffness of the beam. Tests performed by Popov et al. (1972) are used to dene the post-yield stiffness of the rotation hinges in beams. Figure 39 shows the set-up that was used to perform these tests as described by Englekirk (2003). Figure 40 shows the forcedisplacement relationship for this beam. Using a plastic hinge length of half the beam depth, the ultimate beam plastic rotation is 0046 rad. Strength degradation is not accounted for, given that the acceptable rotation for the plastic hinge is lower than that associated with this effect. To dene the post-yield stiffness, a ratio of 118 is observed between the strength at ultimate and at yield. Using these values, Figure 41 shows the backbone curve used to dene the behaviour of beam rotation plastic hinges in Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) per gures 4247. 4.2.5 Moment frame column properties Plastic hinges are modelled at the top and bottom ends of every column. Columns at the upper levels are expected to remain elastic, but incursions into nonlinear behaviour are acceptable if the integrity of the structure is not compromised. To dene a column plastic hinge, a momentaxial capacity interaction curve is calculated using the columns expected material properties. The backbone curve is elastic-perfectly plastic, meaning the column strength does not change once it reaches the yield point. Figures 4850 show an example used in Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) to dene a column at the seismic base with plastic hinges at the face of the beam. 4.2.6 Slab modelling at ground level and below The slabs at ground level and below are modelled as a shell element with its stiffness modied per Table 3. The stiffness factors are applied to the elastic modulus when dening the material. The shear

4.2.8 Damping Rayleigh damping is used to run the time history nonlinear analyses. To dene the damping curve, the damping is set at 25% of critical damping at a period of 02 T1 and at a period of 09 T1, T1 being the fundamental period of the structure. The and values are automatically calculated by Perform 3D (CSI, 2007). Figures 56 and 57 show the input to dene Rayliegh damping in the program Perform 3D (CSI, 2007) and the resulting damping curve.
