EARTHQUAKE LOAD

ANALYSIS: INTRODUCTION
TO NSCP 2015
SPECIFICATIONS –
Design Basis. Use of NSCP
2015 for earthquake design

01
208.1.1 Purpose
SECTION The purpose of the succeeding earthquake provisions is primarily to design
seismic-resistant structures to safeguard against major structural damage that
208: may lead to loss of life and property. These provisions are not intended to
assure zero-damage to structures nor maintain their functionality after severe
EARTHQUAK earthquake.

E LOADS 208.1.2 Minimum Seismic Design


Structures and portions thereof shall, as minimum, be designed and
constructed to resist the effects of seismic ground motions as provided in this
section.

208.1.3 Seismic and Wind Design


When the code-prescribed wind design produces greater effects, wind
design shall govern, but detailing requirements and limitations prescribed in
this section and referenced sections shall be made to govern.

02
208.4 208.4.1 General
The procedures and the limitations for the design
BASIS FOR of the structures shall be determined considering

DESIGN seismic zoning, site characteristics, occupancy,


configuration, structural system and height in
accordance with this section. Structures shall be
designed with adequate strength to withstand the
lateral displacements induced by the Design Basis
Ground Motion, considering the inelastic response of
the structure and inherent redundancy, over-strength
and ductility of the lateral force-resisting system.

04
BASIS FOR
DESIGN
208.4.2 Occupancy Category
For purpose of earthquake-resistant design, each
structure shall be placed in one of the categories
listed in Table 103-1. Table 208-1 assigns
Importance Factor, I and Ip, and structural
observation requirements for each category.

05
06
208.4.3 Site Geological and Soil Characteristics 208.4.3.1 Soil Profile Type
Each site shall be assigned a soil profile type based on properly subtantiated ➢ Soil profile types SA, SB, SC, SD, and SE are defined in
geotechnical data using site categorization procedure set forth in Section table 208-2.
208.4.3.1.1 and Table 208-2 ➢ Type SF is defined as soils requiring site specific
evaluation as follows:
➢ Soil vulnerable to potential failure or collapse under
seismic loading, such as liquefiable soils, quick and highly
sensitive clays, and collapsible weakly cemented soils
➢ Peats and/or highly organic clays, where the thickness of
peat or highly organic clay exceeds 3.0m
➢ Very high plasticity clays with plasticity index, PI>75,
where the depth of clay exceeds 7.5m
➢ Very thick soft/medium stiff clay, where the depth of clay
exceeds 35m.
07
208.4.4 Site Seismic Hazard Characteristics
Seismic hazard characteristics for the site shall be
established on the seismic zone and proximity of the site
to active seismic sources, site soil profile characteristics
and structure’s importance factor.

08
208.4.4.1 Seismic Zone
The Philippine archipelago is divided into two
seismic zones only. Zone 2 covers the provinces of
Palawan (Except Busuanga), Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
while the rest of the country is under Seismix Zone
4. Each structure shall be assgned a seismic zone
SEISMIC factor Z, in accordance with Table 208-3.
ZONE

07
09
208.4.4.2 Seismic Source
Type Table 208-4 defines the types of seismic
sources. The location and type of seismic
sources to be used for design shall be
established based on approved geological data;
Figure 208-2A. Type A sources shall be
determined from Figure 208-2B, 2C, 2D, 2E or
the most recent mapping of active faults by the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology (PHILVOLCS).

2.4.4.3 Seismic Zone 4 Near-Source Factor
In the Seismic Zone 4, each site shall be assigned near-
source factors in accordance with Table 208-5 and 208-6
based on the Seismic Type as set forth in Section 208.4.4.2.
For high rise structures and essential facilities within 2.0km of
a major fault, a site specific seismic elastic design response
spectrum is recommended to be obtained for the specific
area.

20
208.4.4.4 Seismic Response Coefficients
Each structure shall be assigned seismic response
coefficient, Ca, in accordance with Table 208-7 and seismic
coefficient, Cv, in accordance of Table 208-8.
