Description / Abstract:
This International Standard can be used as an alternative to the
development of a building code, or equivalent document in countries
where no national design codes are available by themselves, or as
an alternative to the building code in countries where specifically
considered and accepted by the national standards body or other
appropriate regulatory organization, and applies to the assessment
of earthquake resistance capability and to the seismic
rehabilitation design and construction for existing structural
concrete buildings.
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide sufficient
information to perform the seismic assessment and rehabilitation of
the structural concrete building that complies with the limitations
established in Clause 5, for both undamaged structures that are
deemed not to comply with the required characteristics for an
adequate response at a specified performance level, and for
structures that have undergone damage under seismic loadings. The
rules of design as set forth in this International Standard are
simplifications of more elaborate requirements.
Although the guidelines contained in this International Standard
were drawn to produce, when properly employed, a reasonable
assessment of the seismic vulnerability of an undamaged structure,
a reasonable assessment of a structure damaged by a seismic event
and a structural rehabilitation of the assessed concrete structure
with an appropriate margin of safety, these guidelines are not a
replacement for sound and experienced engineering. In order to
attain the intended results on assessment and rehabilitation
design, this International Standard must be used as a whole, and
alternative procedures should be employed only when explicitly
permitted by the guidelines. The minimum dimensioning guides as
prescribed in this International Standard replace, in most cases,
more elaborate procedures such as those prescribed in the national
code or, if no national code exists, in internationally recognized
full fledged codes, and the possible economic impact is compensated
for by the simplicity of the procedures prescribed here.
The professional applying the procedures set forth by these
guidelines should meet the legal requirements for structural
designers in the country of adoption and have training and a
minimum appropriate knowledge of structural mechanics, statics,
strength of materials, structural analysis, and reinforced concrete
design and construction.
While buildings rehabilitated in accordance with these
guidelines are expected to perform within the selected performance
levels for the applicable design earthquakes, compliance with these
guidelines is necessary but may not guarantee the sought for
performance, as current knowledge of structural behavior under
seismic loads, and of the loads themselves, is still
incomplete.
