DEFIITIO OF EARTHQUAKE ACTIO
2.1. EARTHQUAKE LEVELS
The earthquake levels to be considered in the performance-based design of tall buildings
within the scope of this Code are defined in the following sections.
2.1.1. (E1) Earthquake Level
This earthquake level represents relatively frequent but low-intensity earthquake ground
motions with a high probability to occur during the service life of tall buildings within the
scope of this Code. The probability of exceedance of (E1) level earthquake in 50 years is
50%, which corresponds to a return period of 72 years.
2.1.2. (E2) Earthquake Level
This earthquake level represents the infrequent and high-intensity earthquake ground motions
with a low probability to occur during the service life of tall buildings within the scope of this
Code. The probability of exceedance of (E2) level earthquake in 50 years is 10%, which
corresponds to a return period of 475 years.
2.1.3. (E3) Earthquake Level
This earthquake level represents the highest intensity, very infrequent earthquake ground
motions that tall buildings within the scope of this Code may be subjected to. The probability
of exceedance of (E3) level earthquake in 50 years is 2%, which corresponds to a return
period of 2475 years.
2.2. EARTHQUAKE DESIG SPECTRA
2.2.1 Spectral accelerations corresponding to short period (0.2 second) and 1.0 second
natural vibration periods (respectively SS ve S1), are given for (E1), (E2) and (E3) earthquake
levels in Annex A for a reference soil defined at the boundary between B and C soil classes
(shear wave velocity in the upper 30 m = 760 m/s). For other soil classes, the spectral
accelerations SMS ve SM1 corresponding to the same natural vibration periods shall be
calculated with the following relationships:
SMS = Fa SS
SM1 = Fv S1
(2.1)
The soil parameters Fa and Fv are given in Table 2.1 and Table 2.2, respectively. Soil classes
referred to in those tables are defined in Annex B.

AALYSIS AD DESIG PROCEDURES FOR TALL BUILDIGS
4.1. AALYSIS PROCEDURES FOR TALL BUILDIGS
4.1.1 In the linear elastic analysis of tall buildings required for design stages described in
4.3.1 and 4.3.2, Response Spectrum Analysis procedure shall be employed. Complete
Quadratic Combination Rule shall be used for modal combination to be applied to each
response quantity of interest.
4.1.2 Sufficient number of modes to be included in Response Spectrum Analysis shall be
determined according to modal story shears to be calculated for each story in each direction as
follows:
N
M xin = xn
m
j
xjn
(4.1)
j=i
where Saen respresents nth mode spectral acceleration and Mxin is the effective participating
modal mass associated with the story shear at (i)th story in nth mode for an earthquake in x
direction. m j refers to the mass of the jth story, xjn is the nth mode shape amplitude at the
mass centre of (j)th story in x direction, N represents the total number of stories and xn is
the modal participation factor of the nth mode for an earthquake in x direction:
N
m
j
xn =
xjn
j=1
(4.2)
The above-given relationships are based on an assumption of infinitely rigid floor diaphgrams
in their own planes.
4.1.3 In the nonlinear analysis of tall buildings required for design stages described in 4.3.2
and 4.3.4, Direct Integration procedure shall be employed in the time domain.
4.1.4 In nonlinear analysis, a minimum seven eartquake ground motion sets shall be used in
accordance with 2.3 and the acceleration records in the two perpendicular directions shall be
applied simultaneously along the principal axes of the structural system. Subsequently
directions of acceleration records shall be rotated by 90o and the analysis shall be repeated.
Design basis seismic demands shall be calculated as the average of results obtained from the
minimum 2*7 = 14 analysis.
4.1.5 In the linear or nonlinear analysis of tall buildings, damping ratio shall be taken
= 0.05 as a maximum. It is mandatory to take into account second order (P ) effects.
4.1.6 In the linear or nonlinear analysis of tall buildings, Live Load Participation Factor, n,
given in Eq.(2.6) of (SBCSZ Specification for Buildings to be Constructed in Seismic Zones
2007) shall be defined as follows for the case indicated in the third row of Table 2.7 of
SBCSZ (2007), but its value shall not exceed 0.30.

(4.3)
4.1.7 In the cases where needed, vertical component of the earthquake ground motion may
be considered as well, subject to approval of the Independent Review Board.
4.2. REQUIREMETS FOR AALYSIS MODELIG
4.2.1 Modeling of frame elements shall be made with frame finite elements in linear
analysis. Modeling in nonlinear analysis can be made with plastic sections (plastic hinges) in
the framework of lumped plasticity approach or through fiber elements in the framework of
distributed plasticity approach. Regarding the plastic hinge length, an appropriate empirical
relationship may be selected from the literature, subject to approval of the Independent
Review Board. In nonlinear analysis, alternative modeling approaches may be followed upon
the approval of Independent Review Board. In linear and nonlinear models of steel frames,
shear deformation in the beam-column panel zone shall be considered.
4.2.2 In linear analysis, modeling of reinforced concrete walls and their parts shall be made
with shell finite elements. In order to be consistent with the effective bending rigidities of the
frame elements with cracked sections, elastic modulus (E) of shell elements can be reduced by
using the empirical relationships given in 7.4.13 of SBCSZ (2007).
4.2.3 In modeling reinforced concrete walls and their parts for nonlinear analysis, fiber
elements or alternative modeling options may be used in the framework of distributed
plasticity approach, subject to approval of the Independent Review Board. The cross-section
requirements given in 3.6.1 of SBCSZ (2007) may not be applied to reinforced concrete walls
of tall buildings with heights exceeding 70 m. Shear stiffnesses of reinforced concrete walls
shall be considered.
4.2.4 Effective bending rigidities shall be used for reinforced concrete frame elements with
cracked sections. In the preliminary design stage described in 4.3.1, empirical relationships
given in 7.4.13 of SBCSZ (2007) may be utilized. In other design and verification stages
described in 4.3, effective bending rigidity shall be obtained from the sections momentcurvature relationship as follows (Fig.4.1):
( EI )e =
MY MN
=
y
'y
(4.4)
where M Y , represents the state of first-yield in the section. The corresponding curvature 'y
represents a state where either concrete strain attains a value of 0.002 or steel strain reaches
the yield value, whichever occurs first. The nominal plastic moment M N corresponding to
effective yield curvature y is calculated with concrete compressive strain reaching 0.004 or
steel strain attaining 0.015, whichever occurs first. In calculating the moment strengths of
columns, axial forces due to gravity loads only may be considered.
4.2.5 Material models given in Informative Annex 7B of SBCSZ (2007) can be used for
confined concrete and steel reinforcement. Use of high strength concrete exceeding C50 is
subject to approval of the Independent Review Board.

reinforcing steel and structural steel are defined as the relevant characteristic strengths, (fk),
divided by material safety factors. In other design and verification stages in 4.3, expected
strentghs, ( fe ), shall be used as design strengths without any material safety factors. The
following relationships may be considered between the expected and characteristic strengths:

4.3.1.3 In the preliminary design of the following tall building structural systems, Structural
System Behaviour Factor may be taken at most R = 7, subject to the approval of Independent
Review Board:
(a) Building structural systems where seismic loads are resisted by coupled reinforced
concrete structural walls;
(b) Building structural systems where seismic loads are resisted by eccentric or buckling
restrained concentric brace frames;
(c) Building structural systems where seismic loads are resisted by moment resisting
reinforced concrete or steel frames arranged as tube or tube-in-tube systems;
(d) Building structural systems where seismic loads are resisted by solid or coupled reinforced
concrete structural walls combined with steel braced frames described in (b) and/or moment
resisting reinforced concrete or steel frames;
(e) Other building structural systems whose seismic behaviour is endorsed by the Independent
Review Board to be equivalent to those given above (R factors to be applied to such systems
shall be proposed by the design engineer and approved by the Independent Review Board).
The above-described tall building structural systems are those located above the basement
floors sorrounded by stiff peripheral walls.
4.3.1.4 Being independent of R factor used, the base shear to be considered in the
preliminary design shall not be less than the value given by the following expression:
Vt,min = 0.04 S MS(D2) W
(4.7)
Where S MS(D2) represents the short-period spectral acceleration specified for (E2) level
earthquake and W is a weight representing the buildimg mass. All internal force quantities
obtained from Response Spectrum Analysis shall be scaled such that the base shear calculated
by the same procedure would be equal to that given by Eq.4.7.
