Introduction
• Sri Lanka had been considered to be in an aseismiczone being located away from major plate boundariesor any active faults.
• However, recent seismic events in the region andoccurrence of few minor earth tremors have reformedthis thinking.
• In the mean time, recent geological studies show thatthere is a possibility of forming of new plateboundary approximately 500 km-700 km south of SriLanka in the middle of Indo-Australian tectonic plate.
• Therefore, Sri Lanka can no longer be consideredisolated from the effects of seismic activities.
New Plate Boundary Belief
Introduction (contd..)
• The first documented earthquake in Sri Lanka occurred in1615 AD and had an estimated magnitude of 6.5 on theRichter scale. This earthquake killed thousands of people anddestroyed hundreds of houses in Colombo. In the recent pastwe have experienced many earth tremors but no majordamages to structures were reported.
• Since then about 100 earth tremors have been reported in andaround Sri Lanka.
• Any future earthquake close to a city centre such as Colombowill have disastrous consequences due to its presentdevelopment and population. Therefore, we have understoodthe necessity to study the seismic effects on Sri Lanka andtake appropriate action to mitigate the same.

Earthquake Effects on Sri Lanka
Mainly two earthquakes which happened inIndonesia in recent past considerably affected theSri Lankans.
Earthquake occurred on 26th December 2004,caused huge damage due to Tsunami effectcaused huge damage due to Tsunami effect.
Tsunami waves reached the Eastern and Southerncoasts of Sri Lanka two hours later the initialearthquake and killed over 35,000 people anddestroyed approximately 100,000 houses.However, earthquake tremor was not felt by SriLankans on 2004, while tsunami created a hugedamage.
Earthquake Effects on Sri Lanka (Contd…)
The next considerable effect of earthquakehappened on 11th April 2012. Though the epicenterof this earthquake was located at Indonesia whichis more than 1600 km away from Sri Lanka, it wasfelt by Sri Lankans at many parts of the countryy y p y(Even in Central Highland)
According to the reported data, many people feltshaking of their households and some complainedthat their houses (mainly at Diyatalawa, Jaffna andMannar) had cracked.
Seismic Monitoring in Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
Except for micro-seismic activities monitored at Kotmale andVictoria reservoirs (after impounding of the reservoirs) hardlyany seismic monitoring was carried out in Sri Lanka till 2003. Atthe time of Tsunami in 2004 there was only one seismographoperating in Sri Lanka at Peradeniya.
Since then Geological Surveying and Mines Bureau (GSMB) has installed seismograph network to monitor inter-plate and intra-plate seismic activities around Sri Lanka at three locations Mahakandarawa, Hakmana and Pallekelle.

Dams and Ancillary Structures
BackgroundDams in Sri Lanka can be categorized according to age and construction material / technology, (i.e. ancient dams, recent dams and modern dams.)
• Large and medium dams……………………...…...351 Small dams………………………………….…....12,000
• Ancient dams (Large & Medium) built centuries ago but restored from 1850 AD onwards…………..300
• Recent dams built within past 100 years…..…...…..35• Modern dams built within last 30 years………..…....15

• Small 12,000
Large Dams according to ICOLD classifications - 80
NEED FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGNS FOR DAMS
Causes of devastation could be due to earthquake action and subsequent release of massive amount of water.
Collapse of a dam or ancillary structure may lead to a progressive and catastrophic failure releasing a massive volume of water which could devastate the properties and loss of human lives in downstream areas.

• Earth Mass of Landslides falling into the reservoir.
Defects in dam body foundation and auxiliary structures
Likely Damages to Reservoirs during Earthquakes
• Defects in dam body, foundation, and auxiliary structures leading to progressive or sudden failures.
16
Hydraulic Structures Designed for Earthquakes in Sri Lanka (History)
• Designing of Sri Lankan dams for earthquake loadingsbegan only in Nineteen Eighties (1980 AD) during theAccelerated Mahaweli Project.
• Important structures of Victoria, Randenigala, Kotmale, andRantembe Reservoir Projects were designed for seismiceffects.
• This trend continued after the Mahaweli Project and mainstructures of Samanalawewa and Kukule ReservoirProjects were also designed for seismic effects.

WESTERGAAD FORMULA
According to the Westergaard Formula increment of water pressure is given by
p = 7/8 . kH . gw .√(H . Z)Where
p = additional water pressure acting on one side (kN/ m2)kH = Seismic Coefficient (0.1)
gw = density of water (kN/m3)H = maximum water depth (m)z = distance from the free water surface to the point considered (m)

Current Practice for Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Most common building types exist in Sri Lanka can bebroadly categorized as follows;
Non-engineered Buildings• Brick /Block Masonry load bearing wall housesBrick /Block Masonry load bearing wall houses• Wattle & daub houses
Engineered Buildings• Reinforced Concrete framed buildings• Reinforced Concrete framed buildings with masonry
infill• Multi-storied buildings with shear walls• Steel framed buildings
Current Practice for Earthquake Resistant Building Designs (Contd..)
• Until 2000 AD, engineered buildings were designed andconstructed without incorporating any earthquake resistantphilosophy / details.
• After 2000 AD, some of the engineered RC buildings havebeen designed and constructed incorporating earthquakeresistant philosophy / details as required by the investors.
Current Practice for Earthquake Resistant Building Designs (Contd….)
The current practice for RC Buildings can broadly becategorized into two;
General Approach for Ordinary Buildings (Seismic Mitigation pp y g ( gR/F Detailing)
Analytical Approach for Important / High-rise Structures (Combined with General Approach)
Current Practice for Earthquake Resistant Building Designs (Contd….)
General Approach for Ordinary Buildings (SeismicMitigation R/F Detailing):
Adopting standard detailing practice to improve the ductility of the structural elements as per the “Manual for Reinforcement Detailing to Mitigate Seismic Effects” prepared by the Society of Structural Engineers, Sri Lanka.

This is only a stop-gap measure intended to fill the vacuum of appropriate standards to cater to the immediate need.
Preparedness for Earthquakes
It is not possible to prevent the occurrence of an earthquakesince it is a natural phenomenon.
However, damage can be minimized through preparedness.
During the last decade various entities both government andDuring the last decade various entities both government andnon-government have been engaged in this direction.
Presently, the Disaster Management Center (DMC) of SriLanka, which was established after 2004 tsunami, take thelead role in this endevour.
DMC is an apex body for the purpose of planning, co-coordinating and implementing strategies to mitigate certainnatural and other forms of disasters.
• No comprehensive studies have been carried out to developanalysis and design guidelines on earthquake resistant buildingdesigns in Sri Lanka as of now.
• There is a strong need thus to establish national buildingdesign guidelines for both engineered and non-engineeredbuildings to resist seismic loads

• Though initiations were made for the above after the tsunami of2004, the earthquake event occurred in Indonesia on 11th April2012 which was felt by many Sri Lankan solidified the aboveneed.
• Accordingly, a subcommittee was formed on 20th April 2012 byDMC to develop Building Guidelines for Earthquake ResistantDesigns.
