Appendix 1 B

1) The document provides guidelines for earthquake recording instrumentation in buildings to record structural response during seismic events and improve building codes. 2) It specifies requirements for installing accelerographs in various types of government and private buildings based on their height and occupancy. 3) Standard specifications for accelerographs include sampling frequency, sensitivity, noise levels, time accuracy, and communication capabilities. Proper installation and data interpretation procedures are also outlined.

APPENDIX 1-B

GUIDELINES AND
IMPLEMENTING RULES ON
EARTHQUAKE RECORDING
INSTRUMENTATION FOR
BUILDINGS

BY: RAMOS, XYRELE JOY


ASUNCION, MAIDELLE
PURPOSE:

• To provide information on the specifications and uses of


earthquake recording instruments.
• To provide earthquake instrumentation schemes for
certain buildings.
To record response during major seismic events
To give adequate analysis of building response during
earthquake
OBJECTIVE:

To improve understanding of the actual dynamic behavior


of buildings under earthquake loading and confirm the
design according to the NSCP.
• The recorded data can be use to improve the structural code
thereby reducing loss of lives and limbs as well as properties
during future damaging earthquakes.
• Earthquake recording instrumentation is also called
accelerograph (I.R.R.).
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF
ACCELEROGRAPH:
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF ACCELEROGRAPH:

1. Structural health monitoring and recording.


To record the dynamic response of the building during
earthquake

2. Provide intermediate alarm annunciation


To move the building occupancy safety.
THE ACCELEROGRAPH MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE
OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM LIKE:
• PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM
THE ACCELEROGRAPH MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE
OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM LIKE:
• FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
THE ACCELEROGRAPH MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE
OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM LIKE:
• ELEVATORS
THE ACCELEROGRAPH MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE
OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM LIKE:
• GAS LINE AND WATER LINE
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF ACCELEROGRAPH:

3. Secondary disaster management system


Other calamities that can happen during an earthquake like
explosion from gas leak that will cause fire.

4. Upgrade building codes and disaster management


To improve the structural code
