Research background Directivity is an effect of a fault rupturing whereby earthquake ground motion in the direction of rupture propagation is more severe than that in other directions from the earthquake source

Research background Fig. Intensity map for Wenchuan and Lushan EQs In 2008, there was an big earthquake with Mw of 7.9 occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province of China. Five years later, in 2013, another earthquake with Mw of 7.0 took place at the same region (Lushan, Sichuan Province) along the Long Men Shan fault. Wenchuan Earthquake (2008): Epicenter: N E Depth: 14 KM Duration: 350 SEC Lushan Earthquake (2013): Epicenter: N E Depth: 13 KM Duration: 80 SEC

Objectives This study mainly analyzed the ground motion records at same stations from both earthquakes, and compared the elastic and inelastic response spectra for a typical SDOF in-filled reinforced concrete (RC) structure by considering the stiffness and strength degradation. Response of different capacity levels’ structures (100% Fy, 75% Fy, … 10% Fy) will also be investigated. Four main stations were selected for comparison, both east-west (EW) and north-south (NS) ground motions were analyzed, as seen in Figure. They are 51YAM, 51LSF, 51QLY and 51YAL. These four stations recorded the maximum PGA of Lushan Earthquake.

Elastic & inelastic response spectra  For each station, both N-S and E-W directions were studied.  The design earthquake spectra and rare earthquake spectra (2% in 50 years) based on Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (CCSDB) were also plotted for comparison.

Conclusions  For the four selected stations, the Lushan Earthquake has much higher PGA, but larger drift demands resulted from the Wenchuan Earthquake;  Both elastic and inelastic spectra from Lushan Earthquake are higher than the local design spectra, and could be higher than rare earthquake spectra;  Overall, long period structures have larger displacements, but this trend varies with different capacity levels;  For the Wenchuan Earthquake, as expected, elastic system performed better than those weaker systems. However, for the Lushan Earthquake, elastic systems generated larger displacement at different period ranges.
