TERMINAL OBJECTIVES
TERMINAL OBJECTIVES
• The Student shall understand the how building structures can be
separated into specific types that exhibit unique collapse patterns
when subjected to extreme forces due to Earthquake Wind , and
Explosions
• The Student shall be able to recognize their unique Collapse
Patterns
ENABLING OBJECTIVES
ENABLING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the extreme environmental and man
caused forces that effect structures.
• Define and Understand how buildings are
classified by engineers based on their Construction
Materials and Lateral Load Resisting Systems.
• Discuss the most common Collapse Patterns that
have been observed as a result of Earthquakes,

Earthquake Basics
Earthquake Basics
• Extent of damage is determined by
– type of shaking that occurs at site
– coupled with the structures response
• Magnitude (energy release)
– determines POTENTIAL number of effected
structures
• Aftershocks
– Earthquakes are unique type of Disaster
– just keeps on giving

to 100 times large Quake
Aftershocks
Aftershocks
• Smaller quakes that occur on same fault as original
quake.
– Minor fault adjustments
• Occur after most quakes regardless of size of
original shock
• On average largest is 1.2M less than original
– Some have been almost as large as original. (in
range of M 6)
• Will occur during US&R Ops since are most
prevalent in first week.
How Many Aftershocks ?
How Many Aftershocks ?
• USGS - Rule of Thumb
– For every single decrease in magnitude, get
10 fold increase in number
• If original quake is M 7
– 1 or so aftershock in range of M 6
– 10 “ “ “ “ 5
– 100 “ “ “ “ 4
– 1000 “ “ “ “ 3
• Have fewer as time passes
– Day 2 = 1/2 as many as day 1
– Day 3 = 1/3 as many as day 1
– Day 4 = 1/4 as many as day 1, etc

Windstorm Basics
Windstorm Basics
• windstorms often produce flooding
• most damage/collapse is to light, poorly or
non-engineered structures
• high winds load & peel off light walls/ roof of
structures - especially open structures
• airborne missiles penetrate structure -
cause collapse by impact or by creating
open structure
• tidal surge/high waves can cause
collapse/damage to engineered structures
Common Windstorm Collapse
Common Windstorm Collapse
• roof blows off & walls collapse due to lack of lateral
support
• weak walls blow out causing roof collapse
• light metal bldgs collapse due to buckling or
bending failure of long span roof, pull out of frame
base " weak link behavior "
• missile penetrates glazed opening or door blows
in, structure changes from "closed" to "open", roof
and/or walls blow out (even tilt-up concrete, etc.)

Basic Explosion Effects
• Large Pressures exerted by explosions
– can be 5000 psi +
– duration only milliseconds
– inversely proportional to cube of distance from source
• Severe damage to structures
– but not proportional to static pressure effects
• Effects of fast moving shock wave
– may be very complex

Concrete Framed Structures
Concrete Framed Structures
• Lift forces have especially devastating effects on
gravity designed slabs
– when gravity force is overcome, slabs and beams can hinge
where rebar is not continuous
• at mid-span and at span ends
• This can result in multi story columns left standing w/o
enough lateral bracing
– multi level collapse is then probable 6s
• C3 type, URM infill is also blown in/out 2s

    Windstorm Basics Windstorm Basics •windstorms often produce flooding • most damage/collapse is to light, poorly or non-engineered structures • high winds load & peel off light walls/ roof of structures - especially open structures • airborne missiles penetrate structure - cause collapse by impact or by creating open structure • tidal surge/high waves can cause collapse/damage to engineered structures
  • 189.
    Common Windstorm Collapse CommonWindstorm Collapse • roof blows off & walls collapse due to lack of lateral support • weak walls blow out causing roof collapse • light metal bldgs collapse due to buckling or bending failure of long span roof, pull out of frame base " weak link behavior " • missile penetrates glazed opening or door blows in, structure changes from "closed" to "open", roof and/or walls blow out (even tilt-up concrete, etc.)

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Encourage questions by class members Remember to repeat all questions, especially in large classes
  • #3 Encourage questions by class members Remember to repeat all questions, especially in large classes
  • #4 Encourage questions by class members Remember to repeat all questions, especially in large classes
  • #5 Force that PULLS on an object & stretches it. Explain ELASTIC Behavior (use big rubber band - so back of classroom can see it ) Explain DUCTILE Behavior (use plastic tubing or something else that you can stretch) Define YIELDING = Ductile Behavior Steel NECKS DOWN when it YIELDS
  • #6 Force that PUSHES on an object & shortens it. Explain that CRUSHING can occur or that BUCKLING (bowing) can occur Show Example of Buckling - steel bar or ? Crushing can give warning Buckling produces sudden failure - avoid Wood systems can be proportioned so that slow noisy crushing of cross grain wood fibers can be seen & heard as the system YIELDS Discussed later in Shoring Basics
  • #7 Explain simple bending - compression at top & tension at bottom. Occurs in most Beams, Slabs, Joist Can be level or sloped beam Since concrete has no tension strength, add rebar to take tension. Concrete cracks in order for the rebar to take tension - gives us warning system - Discussed later
  • #8 Shear is Tearing Force Explain Beam Shear (Use example with books or ?) Explain Punching Shear Explain Wall Shear & Define Racking (use example with piece of paper)
  • #9 Discuss properties of each with emphasis on DUCTILE or BRITTLE Define C.I.P. vs. PC concrete and Pre-Tensioned vs Post Tensioned
  • #10 Load system = summation of all FORCES Define Framed & Unframed - this is how Firefighter’s Text Books define structure Mention that we will define buildings by their Lateral Load Systems, NEXT
  • #11 Next
  • #13 Some of Concrete floor systems that we may encounter. Always want to cut thru where slab is thinnest & least rebar
  • #14 Very efficient structures, but often sudden collapse Also difficult to shore
  • #15 Define LATERAL LOADS = Forces from the side Introduce 3 Systems - Next
  • #16 Next
  • #17 Explain - use cardboard box ?

  • #21 Explain - use example See next slide
  • #22 Next
  • #23 Explain - 2nd way for structure to resist when primary system Yields or Fails
  • #24 Elegant system, but requires complete system to anchor tension forces Will see Catenary forms in collapsed structures, but what is anchoring the tension Student should review this section
  • #25 This should be a very quick review. - 10 to 15 minutes. Inform class that they are expected to study the student manual. Most Firefighters have had classes in structures. Collapse of Burning Buildings by Vincent Dunn is a text book that many will have studied Keep this brief and use as many visual aids as possible. Define FORCE & STRESS, see Manual
  • #27 Encourage questions by class members Remember to repeat all questions, especially in large classes
  • #28 Encourage questions by class members Remember to repeat all questions, especially in large classes
  • #29 Will explain Harmonic response - little later Don’t get hung up on how Magnitude is defined - Energy release is approx. 30x greater for each whole number increase in Magnitude. Aftershock defined later
  • #30 This is to illustrate - rock in pond effect Explain ACCELLERATION, how fast an object changes speed. Inertia wants object to stay put - therefore forces are generated Example: In automobile, push on accelerator several times in succession = successive lateral forces on your body & head snaps back M7 EQ is short, over small area, but can be quite violent (high acceleration)
  • #31 Total Energy release 30x from M7 to 8 and almost 1000 times from M6 to 8 Not that much higher Acceleration, but much greater area effected Length of Fault rupture determines Duration
  • #32 Aftershocks Collapse structures & will effect US&R
  • #33 Very approximate 1 or so could mean 5 10 or so could mean 50 Fewer w/ time, but no guarantee that a big one will not occur the day after a previous big one
  • #34 There were no large aftershocks,M 6 or so Luck
  • #35 There were many large Aftershocks after the Taiwan 921 quake that caused additional collapse
  • #36 Explain Harmonic response -use balls or ? Explain Load Distribution - higher parts of building move further Don’t get hung up with 2nd order effects
  • #37 World Map of EQ faults Keep it short Circum Pacific Belt caused by rotating Plate EQ also occur elsewhere
  • #38 Effect on surface, indicates Fault in rock far below
  • #39 Point out bend in Creek caused by fault movement over centuries
  • #40 Common damage to URM Heavy, Weak = much collapse
  • #41 Romania in 1980s Newer Concrete structure, but little lateral strength

  • #49 Next
  • #50 Can have very high winds & little warning in specific area
  • #51 Shredded exterior
  • #52 URM can be pealed by very high wind forces
  • #53 Rapid conversion of energy to heat, light (fireball) + shock wave Shock wave causes most damage to structures Explain High Order vs & Low Order Explosive, speed of shock wave, detonation vs deflagration (study encyclopedia prior to class) Interior explosion damages structure as shock wave builds up and eventually escapes/dissipates Small gas caused explosion may fail only one column, but lead to progressive collapse
  • #54 Quickly cover now Will discuss in detail at end of this session
  • #55 Badly damaged column, not collapse
  • #56 Light steel industrial bldg in Sparks NV at explosive manufacturing plant. 3 building almost completely blown away with only RM retaining wall partly remaining
  • #57 Lift pressure of shock wave very bad for concrete slabs Move on
  • #58 Explain: Spherical shock wave Initial reflected pressure Over pressure Drag forces
  • #59 Horrific example, discussed later
  • #60 Successive Loading of structure - in milliseconds Also mild EQ
  • #61 Next
  • #62 Some structural effects of Fire Emphasize how dangerous wood roof trusses are
  • #63 Very bad fire in old Cold Storage Warehouse Walls w/o openings caused very fast burning of old wood floor, due to chimney effect Brick walls were monitored by Theodolites as Search using K9 found bodies of trapped firefighters
  • #64 Final after incident photo One can see the extent of the remaining unbraced walls. Some were removed during the search operations
  • #65 3 story wood apartment over concrete parking Was Reinforced Concrete Slab unsafe for final body search ? Rebar not PT Conc slab expanded and was restrained by reinforced CMU shear walls with openings Wall piers were cracked due to expansion Sim to effect of restrained PT slab Structure was safe enough for 10hr search
  • #66 Students need to review this on their own
  • #67 May wish to explain that ATC is Applied Technology Council , research project coordinating body set up by STRUCT ENG ASSN of CAL This simple system is used to classify building in documents for evaluation structures. Engineers shorthand that better defines the type of building and it’s framing system Remainder of categories on next slide
  • #68 Firefighters are more used to terms as defined in Building Construction for the Fire Service by Francis L Brannigan A comparison is given in the manual
  • #69 Be brief - EXPLAIN WITH LATER SLIDES Most URM have been removed or retrofit in Cal Say a little about Irregular structures vs dynamics of Earthquake Will illustrate each ATC Type in following slides
  • #70 Damaged in EQ & Wind Does everyone understand wood systems? Platform framing vs balloon framing ? Problem in EQ is Dynamic incompatibility Brick Chimney Soft - weak crawl space Skin & Bones, Box structure Bones = Vertical Load system Skin = Lateral load system Wind effects poorly engineered / tied
  • #71 Explain & Move on
  • #72 Truss gable ends especially vulnerable
  • #73 Multi story wood have enough mass to collapse in EQ Especially if have concrete floor fill
  • #74 Brick veneer over horiz wood shtg

  • #77 System requires no walls - just infill any ?
  • #78 Completed building in back with PC panels Frame in front
  • #79 New improved steel joint with built-up plates
  • #80 Explain system Any ?
  • #81 Diag braced sys difficult to detect unless badly damaged
  • #82 Too strong of diag. Braces for capacity of column 22 story collapse on top of 14 story + fire Big ? - Why didn’t 2 adjacent 22 story identical buildings collapse?
  • #83 Same as previous
  • #84 Describe system - any? Not much problem in EQ - can get some local buckling at connections of X rods Often damaged by Wind Weakest link behavior As simple as no rubber grommets on screws that attach metal panels Missile penetration also problem
  • #85 Just to show typical building
  • #86 Total collapse
  • #87 Lost wall panels, but kept roof Not too bad
  • #88 Explain system - no walls required Need lots of rebar ties & hoops to keep concrete around longitudinal bars to allow ductile behavior. Not until 1970s Explain Tension followed by Compression causing explosive failure of poorly confined moment resistant joint URM infill can cause unplanned stiffness that leads to failure
  • #89 Typical Mexico City waffle slab/Concrete column frame with infill at property lines Looks O.K. but area around stair & elevator collapsed Was weak core not strong Emphasize that this is INFILLED frame. Infill is needed for fire separation but not usually helpful to performance during Quake, Wind and Blast
  • #90 Typical old (1920s) frame in Calif Hollow clay tile infill is explosive in EQ
  • #91 C.I.P walls & floors - up to 13 stories or so Best performance in EQ and WIND than most other structures. (including Wood and Steel) Any ? About system ?
  • #92 Very badly damaged wall piers, but did not collapse 2 of these 12 story buildings were damaged in 1964, and are still in service today
  • #93 Stiffness of the walls makes the difference
  • #94 Santa Monica - Northridge EQ Some cracking in link beams
  • #95 Discuss Frame type systems & Box type systems Very strong parts, but must be connected well to survive EQ Box systems have performed much better
  • #96 Very poor performance & many duplicate buildings Infill walls don’t help Very poor connections
  • #97 PC parking structures have performed poorly
  • #98 Not a problem in Mexico City, not as limber as frames
  • #99 Special type of structure with many potential problems Potential punching shear problem if any joint rotation PT slabs with no beams No need to discuss in most classes
  • #100 Explain system & basic Wall to Roof connection problem Walls are usually plenty strong
  • #101 Sample of 1970 TU 2 story office in front, & 1 story warehouse in rear
  • #102 Panelized roof system. Any ? Will discuss problems in detail later
  • #103 Walls separate & lean, roof collapse Wonder that walls stayed up
  • #104 Explain each type - Brief
  • #105 Be very brief
  • #106 Very common type URM walls wood floors Any ?
  • #107 Header course every 6 or 7 rows Note The rod/washer wall tie in a single location as seen here (or at some odd spacing) probably indicates a repair of an out of plumb or bulging wall - potential for future damage. Uniformly spaced anchors normally indicates a Seismic Retrofit - better performance is expected All exposed metal ties are subject to fire damage at temperatures above 700 degrees
  • #108 Typical damage prior to retrofit
  • #109 Retrofit so occupants could survive Building was demolished, but good job
  • #110 Many of this type in SF Falling hazards
  • #111 Brick or Hollow tile infill
  • #112 Both are infill type One on right is example of prior to damage
  • #113 Explain each Define Shear & Racking Joint failure in Concrete Frame leads to pancake Taller buildings are more effected by OT Compression in steel diag frames can lead to collapse Tension in Concrete Frames can lead to explosive failure in joint when reverse to compression
  • #114 Wall joint problem very common URM, TU, etc Local Column - explosion or construction failure Can lead to progressive collapse Single story usually associated with EQ Irregularity focus of energy Soft first story or other story where stiffness is different from remainder of structure
  • #115 Helps us determine what may happen
  • #116 Will now discuss these 4 types of structures How effected by EQ
  • #117 Very special collapse Pattern Skin & Bones structure Skin fails in lower story (stories) Bones are OK but unstable Structure projects itself laterally as far as the height of the number of stories that collapse
  • #118 This one is O.K.
  • #119 Same building, shows some capacity left in skin - plaster over gyp shtg
  • #120 About 10 of the buildings that looked like this in SF Marina Dist collapsed Remainder were straightened
  • #121 Make sure all understand that building offset 2 stories
  • #122 It started on property line & projected over 2 stories of distance
  • #123 This structure has come to rest and will probably not require much shoring As discussed later the preferred entry will usually be made from above the collapse zone. Emphasis should be on fast, easy cutting, and minimum exposure to aftershock shifting
  • #124 Collapsed over sidewalk and a car parked at the curb
  • #127 Same collapse pattern, less spectacular
  • #128 Racked
  • #129 Collapsed on garage + offset 1 story
  • #130 Different house in same tract, same result
  • #131 Not much prob for US&R
  • #132 Fire & chimney biggest hazard
  • #136 Many of this type Force in wall can be as much as 200% G Critical Connection - Any ? Collapse Zone for URM is different from TU will discuss later 90 deg collapse is common Fire Service term
  • #137 The higher the URM the greater the chance of collapse
  • #138 Any ?
  • #139 From Coalinga EQ Collapse zone width is usually less than wall height
  • #140 Collapse into street - creates victims Collapse onto adjacent roof, causing it to collapse
  • #141 Discuss redundancy Wood lath & Plaster Catenary
  • #142 Truss roof not redundant, but can create large void space. Mention that Trusses are difficult to Shore, and will discuss later Lean-to, V, Pancake, & Cantilever are patterns that are discussed in most Firefighter classes. Will discuss here in next 2 slides
  • #143 Empathize pattern of rubble walls and large Wood Floor Planes that form in the patterns that are familiar to Firefighters Discussed on next slide
  • #144 These are patterns that are taught thru-out the world, but mostly apply to URM buildings. Their recognition is useful in predicting victim location, as well as areas in need of shoring
  • #145 Many survivable voids in various patterns
  • #146 TU wall falls out as a unit, roof collapses within space Collapse zone = wall height + bounce (90 degree collapse Zone) Most, but not all walls fall away from building In cases where interior columns collapse, due to Fire or other reason, the walls may be pulled in by the collapsing roof.
  • #147 Typical TU This is first generation TU where walls were joined by C.I.P. column or wall sections. Later generation TU with only welded joints, may not perform as well
  • #148 Roof is hanging by plywood hanging on projection of bolts
  • #149 More typical collapse, roof debris was removed
  • #150 Does everyone understand ? Catenary is make more probable by the fact that this first generation TU has C.I.P. wall joints. Later TU with welded joints probably will not perform as well. This action helps restrain the walls after Fire burn-out of wood roof, and assessment should be made as to what type of wall joints are present in assessing post Fire safety
  • #151 Wall spandrel collapsed, then roof
  • #152 See 2nd wall panel fully laid out Corner hangs 1st panel
  • #153 Older Concrete Frame type structures Explain joint failure if needed
  • #154 Typical brittle concrete frame w/ hollow clay tile infill, no real shearwalls Prior to collapse
  • #155 Typical Pancake Collapse
  • #156 Very heavy pancake
  • #160 Following are 6 sub types of collapse Explain
  • #161 One of the few 3 story collapses in Mexico City Probably very bad column beam joint, fairly strong column
  • #162 Very common type of collapse for brittle concrete frame with poor confinement of rebar at joints
  • #163 Explain: Relatively undamaged floors collapse due to column joint failure Survivable voids are created by objects that separate slabs. (Live victims found in Hospital structure, 11 days after Quake) Relatively stable collapse Best to cut-in from top, but slow & difficult Difficult to remove large, interconnected slabs
  • #164 Not complete pancake
  • #165 Common for corner buildings Explain Torsion
  • #166 From distance, showing one property line wall
  • #167 Same building, showing street side bays collapsed
  • #168 Can occur with Concrete frame that have some short shearwalls or Can occur with weakness in lower/first story
  • #169 Shearwall fractured in this case, fairly unusual
  • #170 View of penthouse
  • #171 12 story concrete frame w/brick infill Weakness in first story. Inadequate rebar splice in columns
  • #172 Similar problem as previous slide In this case, 12 story fell on adjacent 6 story concrete frame w/ concrete walls. No one killed in 6 story
  • #173 Collapse due to irregularity All energy focused in one story
  • #174 Olive View Hospital was designed as soft 1st story. It didn’t quite collapse, but knocked down adjacent, structurally independent stairwells
  • #175 Structure at right was separate, stair well Structure in foreground is collapsed one story concrete, covered ambulance parking (not focus of this example)
  • #176 Originally 2 story school Concrete frame w/brick infill Weak first story
  • #177 Typical of many 3 & 4 story (Arcade type) buildings in Taiwan. 1st story is commercial space with no walls along street front. There were a few short shearwalls in rear walls. Very little lateral resistance in building’s long direction. Upper stories have brick infill walls and residential space, and most occupants survived (EQ at 0200)
  • #178 Explain - focusing of energy due to stiffness or caused by pounding
  • #179 Explain Pounding
  • #180 Telephone Exchange Weak mid -story
  • #181 Any ? About system ?
  • #182 Original parts again become parts during collapse and may end up in most any configuration Void spaces not as large as Heavy Floor Easier to remove pieces than Heavy Floor
  • #183 One story w/ concrete roof No fill slab (as in younger structures to help tie things together) This structure had very small welded joints to interconnect the T slabs.
  • #184 Infill walls in Precast concrete frame Very little quake resistance
  • #185 Building made from Slabs, beams, & columns, which fell apart into the original parts Slabs were only connected by only grout, no topping slab or weld joints
  • #186 Void spaces not as large as Heavy Floor Easier to remove pieces than Heavy Floor
  • #188 Big difference from EQ is ANTI GRAVITY loading Heavy, weak structures may survive
  • #189 Mostly restated from previous Missile penetration effects were very common on Hurricane Andrew Any ?
  • #190 These types will be illustrated in following slides
  • #191 Light structures need to be well interconnected to survive
  • #192 Good Building Code, poor enforcement
  • #195 Mobile homes often have very minimal structures
  • #197 Building code now improved for Kawai
  • #198 No ties
  • #199 This partly reinforced, grouted system should have done better if well constructed
  • #200 Grout but no rebar at door edges
  • #201 Same at corner
  • #202 Bond beam at corner Roof ties in offset location
  • #206 Roof off here In some TU buildings, leeward walls were blown out after truck doors on windward side were breached
  • #207 Wall had RM columns @ 16ft oc w/ ladder/joint reinf Wall was large enough to collect enough wind pressure to cause collapse
  • #208 Discuss briefly
  • #209 Have example of each that is shown in yellow
  • #210 Examples follow
  • #211 This structure had exterior concrete frame & interior steel beams with light, concrete filled metal deck Gas explosion in basement, built up pressure and blew off 1st floor, which damaged 2nd 3rd & part 4th Steel beams and most concrete beams remained The Instructor may wish to discuss his thought process in evaluating hazards in next 3 slides to give example of all things that need to be considered (and why there are few easy answers
  • #212 Looking up from 1st floor Lots of falling hazards remained
  • #213 Concrete and steel beams w/ light floor blown off
  • #214 Also pushed out on exterior frame and fractured some steel beam to concrete column connections
  • #215 Explain WTC & OKC examples follow
  • #216 Interior car bomb using high explosives
  • #217 Flat slabs in garage were very susceptible to upward punching at columns and upward hinging at midspan Columns were braced after people were evacuated from both Towers
  • #218 Explain initial uppercut of wave followed by overpressure increasing gravity forces
  • #219 Also structure is anti-redundant
  • #220 After incident was terminated
  • #221 Columns needed to be braced Will discuss mitigation later
  • #222 Blast effects caused damage in C3 building across street from Murrah Bldg Look closely to see the punching shear failure in the concrete roof flat slab. Probably caused by overpressure, not uplift
  • #223 There may have been uplift pressures, then overpressure pushing in. Blast produces very complicated damage URM infill was pushed over in WTC, MURRAH and here
  • #224 No PC2 frame examples, but could perform poorly due to large areas vs light connections. PC2 Box next example
  • #225 Overall view Many bldgs were effected, but none had large collapse zone. Many hurt by flying debris, glass, etc
  • #226 Crater indicates a bomb larger than Murrah Bldg
  • #227 Damage mostly limited to outside cells of building Limited damage, compared to Murrah bldg or what might expect from PC2 frames like Armenian Buildings
  • #228 Discuss unique problem of PT
  • #229 URM - large weak walls, blow out or in Across street from Murrah Bldg
  • #230 Same building Wood 1st floor gone
  • #231 Rear wall of same URM Tied back to prevent falling hazard
  • #232 Any questions
