The 29 May Ölfus Earthquake: Structural response and
observed damage
Jónas Thór Snæbjörnsson
Contents• Review of the damage observed after the event on
May 29, 2008.
• The earthquake action resisted by buildings in the near fault area and Reykjavik is inspected through a study of response data available from instrumented structures.
• The response data is used to examine system parameters, such as natural frequency and structural behaviour.
• An example is given from a study of a reinforced cast-in-place concrete building where earthquake induced acceleration data has been systematically collected over period of 19 years.

Review of observed damage
• No catastrophic collapse of residential buildings occurred during the event of 29 May 2008.
• About 3500 buildings were damaged to some extend,about 25 were uninhabitable and about 30 will be demolished.
• Those severely damaged are commonly older concrete or masonry buildings with little or no reinforcement.
• Several buildings sustained tilting or cracking related to differential soil-foundation settlements.
• Damage to building interiors was extensive and widespread. • Insured damage will exceed that of the June 2000
earthquakes (5.5 Gkr -> 7.5 Gkr) even though the event magnitude was smaller– The May 2008 epicentral area is more densely populated and the
exposure of the built area therefore greater
Review of observed damage• There was some damage to the roads
– subsidence of the filling and the underlying sediments causing longitudinal fracturing
– subsidence where structures such as at culverts intersect the roadway.
• Two bridges suffered minor damage, however, both were fully operational.
• The hot- and cold water supply systems in the towns of Hveragerdi and Selfoss suffered considerable damage.
• The earthquake caused extensive rock-falls from the surrounding mountains, and secondary faulting at mountain edges.

Earthquake Acceleration Records
• Ground acceleration => Earthquake characteristics:– Magnitude, – Calibration of historic earthquake catalogues– Attenuation and duration– Ground motion simulation– Earthquake hazard mapping and zoning– Elastic and inelastic response spectra
• Response acceleration => Structural characteristics:– Structural behaviour – 3D effects – rotation – Natural frequency, damping– Verification of structural modelling– Damage (damage indices)

Structural Earthquake Response• Structures magnify the ground motion
• The magnification of motion mainly depends on :– The dihedral angle and frequency of the
earthquake wave. – The dynamic characteristics of the structure
• natural period, critical damping ration, etc.
• Magnification of 8 times the base acceleration has been recorded at the top elevation of instrumented structures.

Final Remarks• The South Iceland earthquakes in 2000 and 2008 showed
similar characteristics, i.e. – high peak acceleration – short duration of motion is short and – rapid attenuation of motion with increasing distance.
• System identification based on recorded response data can serve as a baseline for damage identification as well as calibration for further structural modelling of buildings.
• Visible damage in the buildings studied is slight, but the system parameters, at least in some cases, reflect structural changes.
• The power spectral densities and natural frequencies evaluated based on the response data indicate strongsoil-structure interaction, especially in the Selfoss area.
Final Remarks
• Although considerable property damage occurred in the South Iceland earthquakes in 2000 and 2008, the vast majority of structures seemed to withstand the strong-motion fairly competently and without significant damage.
• This is believed to be mainly due to:– The low-rise, predominantly reinforced concrete or
timber, style of buildings. – The short duration of strong-motion contributed to the
endurance of structures.
