The following design criterion has been adopted:
- Structure Importance Level 4 (post disaster recovery structure, emergency and medical facilities and building containing hazardous materials) in accordance with Table 3.2 of AS/NZS1170.0;
- Annual Probability of Exceedance (AEP) as follows in accordance with Table 3.3 of AS/NZS1170.0:
- Earthquake has been designed for an AEP of 1 in 2500 years for Ultimate Limit State (50 year structural design life for an Importance Level 4 Structure)
- AS/NZS1170.1: Super-imposed dead load to structure G = 10.95 kN (18 batteries weighing 62 kg each in the worst case scenario) + self-weight of frame;
- NZS1170.5: Annual Probability of Exceedance (AEP) of 1 in 2500 years for Ultimate Limit State Earthquake Design and Spectral Shape Factor Ch(T) = 3.0 (maximised for soft soil in a worst case scenario), Hazard Factor Z = 0.6 (maximised for Otira and Arthur’s Pass in a worst case scenario) and Return Period Factor for Ultimate Limit State Ru = 1.8 for an Importance Level 4 Structure.
- IEEE 693:2018: High Seismic Qualification Level
We note that the structure as depicted in the drawings listed above is
sufficient to withstand the loadings described above for the specified Annual
Probabilities of Exceedance (AEP) listed. The structure has been designed in
accordance with the performance requirements of NZS1170.5 for the Equivalent
Static Method described in Section 6 of NZS1170.5. The AEP’s listed above have
been selected in accordance with Table 3.3 of AS/NZS1170.0 for an Importance
Level 4 structure. It is noted that the structure has also been analysed for
acceptable deflection and deformation under the prescribed Earthquake AEP of 1
in 500 years for SLS2 (Importance Level 4 structure) and is within acceptable
limits. The structure is also adequate to withstand the forces required for
High Seismic Qualification Level required by IEEE 693:2018. Under the loadings
listed above. the structure is sufficient to withstand the imposed loads and
continue to function.
This certification shall not be construed as relieving any other party of
their responsibilities, liabilities or contractual obligations.
We trust that this information meets your requirements. Please do not hesitate
to contact the undersigned should you require any further information.
Yours faithfully,
