Abstract

The building code of any country is considered to be a basic technical guidance document for the seismic design of structures. However, building codes are typically developed for the whole country, without considering site specific models that incorporate detailed site-specific data. Therefore, the adequacy of the design spectrum for building codes may sometimes be questionable. To study the sufficiency of the building codes of Pakistan (BCP-SP-2007), a deterministic seismic hazard analysis (DSHA) based spectrum was developed for a site in the Muzaffargarh area, Pakistan, using an updated earthquake catalogue, seismic source model, and a next generation attenuation model (NGA-WEST-2). Further, an International Building Code (IBC-2000) spectrum was developed for the study area to compare the results. The DSHA-based response spectrum resulted in a peak ground acceleration (PGA) value of 0.21 g for the Chaudwan fault. The evaluation of BCP-SP-2007 and IBC-2000 spectra provided a critical assessment for analyzing the associated margins. A comparison with the DSHA-based response spectrum showed that the BCP-SP-2007 design spectrum mostly overlapped with the DSHA spectrum unlike IBC-2000. However, special attention is needed for designing buildings in the study area when considering earthquake periods longer than 1 s, and the BCP-SP-2007 spectrum can be enhanced when considering a period range of 0.12–0.64 s. Finally, BCP-SP-2007 is based on a probabilistic approach and its comparison with deterministic results showed the significance of both methods in terms of design.

巴基斯坦穆扎法尔格尔地区某场地基于DSHA的反应谱与巴基斯坦建筑规范（BCP-SP-2007）设计反应谱的比较

任何国家的建筑规范都被认为是结构抗震设计的基本技术指导文件。然而，建筑规范通常是针对整个国家制定的，而没有考虑包含详细的特定地点数据的特定地点模型。因此，建筑规范的设计范围的充分性有时可能会受到质疑。为了研究巴基斯坦建筑规范(BCP-SP-2007)的充足性，使用更新的地震目录、震源模型和下一代衰减模型(NGA-WEST-2)，为巴基斯坦Muzaffargarh地区的一个地点开发了基于确定性地震危害分析(DSHA)的频谱。此外，为研究区域制定了国际建筑规范(IBC-2000)频谱以比较结果。基于dsha的响应谱结果表明，Chaudwan断层的峰值地面加速度(PGA)值为0.21 g。BCP-SP-2007和IBC-2000光谱的评价为相关边际分析提供了关键评价。与基于DSHA的响应谱比较表明，与IBC-2000不同，BCP-SP-2007设计谱与DSHA谱大部分重叠。但是，在设计研究区域内的建筑物时，当考虑大于1 s的地震周期时，需要特别注意，并且当考虑0.12-0.64 s的周期范围时，BCP-SP-2007谱可以得到增强。最后，BCP-SP-2007基于概率方法，其结果与确定性结果的比较显示了两种方法在设计方面的意义。
