This preprint investigates how seismic lateral loads were defined across Yugoslavian earthquake-resistant design codes beginning in 1948, with a detailed focus on the JUS39/64 and JUS31/81 codes that governed seismic safety of Macedonian (and wider Yugoslavian) exposure for 16 and 41 years, respectively. The authors analyze lateral force coefficients as the main representation of each design level and develop the K-Quotient method to compare lateral force levels between codes, including a closed-form simplified lateral load calculation for “stiff” buildings with T≤0.5s. Their results are described as indicative for flexible buildings, with an explicit caveat that these cases require further research. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract This contribution aims to clarify for exposure modellers and vulnerability and seismic risk assessors the basis on which seismic lateral loads have been established in all Yugoslavian seismic design codes since 1948. The particular focus is on JUS39/64 and JUS31/81 seismic design codes since they controlled the seismic safety of Macedonian (and Yugoslavian) exposure for 16 and 41 years, respectively. The analyses and discussions are centred on lateral force coefficients as a primary factor for representing the features of each design level. Presented is in all detail the developed K-Quotient method that efficiently compares inter-code lateral force levels. The method provides the closed solution for simplified lateral load calculation applicable to “stiff” buildings (T≤0.5s). The presented results are indicative of flexible buildings requiring further research on the subject.
