8. What Causes Earthquake
The Earth & its interior
Inner Core  1290 km Radius
Outer Core  2200 km thickness
The Mantle  2900 km thickness
Crust  5-40 km thickness
The circulation
Convection currents develop in the viscous Mantle, because of different pressure and temperature between the Crust & the Core
That result in circulation of the Earth’s mass. Hot Lava comes out & the cold rock mass goes into the Earth
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

9. What Causes Earthquake Continued . . .
 Plate Tectonics
 Flows of Mantle material cause the crust to slide on the hot molten outer core
 Sliding of earth mass takes place in pieces called Tectonic Plates
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

10. What Causes Earthquake Continued . . .
 The surface of the earth consists of seven major Tectonic Plates and many smaller ones
 Plates move in different directions
 Average movement of plate boundary 2-10 cm per year
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

11. What Causes Earthquake Continued . . .
 The Earthquake
 Rocks are made of elastic material
 Elastic strain energy is stored
 Rocks reach their strength
 Sudden movement takes place
 Crack in the rocks formed
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

12. What Causes Earthquake Continued . . .
 Sudden slip taken place & release the enormous elastic strain energy stored
 The sudden slip (EARTHQUAKE) causes a violent shaking of the earth & the released energy spreads out through SEISMIC WAVES that travel in all direction through the earth’s layers
 Seismic Waves
Two types of waves
 Body waves
 Surface waves
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

13. What Causes Earthquake Continued . . .
 Body Waves
 Primary waves (P-Waves)
 Extension & compression action
 Speed 4.8 km/s (fastest)
 Secondary waves (S-Waves)
 Vertical & horizontal action
 Speed 3 km/s
 Surface Waves
 Love waves
 Horizontal component action
 Rayleigh waves
 Vertical component action

15. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Inertia force in structure
Seismic waves shaking the ground
Building base moves with the ground
Upper body has tendency to stay in its original position
Walls & columns drag the upper body along with them
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

16. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Its much like when the ground moves, the building is thrown backward or the upper body experience a force called INTERIA FORCE
Newton’s second law of motion
Upper body has a mass m
Experience an acceleration a
Then F (inertia force) = m.a F
 That means the more mass the greater F (inertia force) you get
 so the lighter buildings sustain seismic better a
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

17. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Effect of deformations in structures
Columns undergo relative movement between their ends
Transfer the inertia force from the upper body of the building to the ground
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

18. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Columns resist deformation so develop inertia forces, which called stiffens
Walls & columns are the most critical elements in resisting seismic
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

19. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Horizontal & vertical shaking
Earthquake shakes the ground in all direction
Ground shakes randomly back and forth (- & +) along in X, Y and Z direction
All structures are primarily designed to curry downward force, which called gravity load
factor of safety, used in the design of structures, magnifying the design gravity load (dead load + live load + other loads) x Y Z
Lecture 1
Advance Design of RC Structure

20. Effects of Seismic on Structures
Horizontal & vertical shaking
That means most of the designed structures adequate against vertical shaking
The horizontal shaking along X & Y direction (both + & - direction of each) is our big concern as a structural designer
