1. PREAMBLE
The present document aims to gather all the design constraints, criteria and assumptions taken into account
for the detailed structural design of the extension of the AMB Airport in Santiago de Chile.

Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago is located 17 km northeast of the city of Santiago, in
the Metropolitan Region and corresponds to the most important in Chile, concentrating the largest movements
of both passengers and cargo.

The "Expansion and Improvement International Airport Arturo Merino Benitez" Project mainly consists of:
• Remodeling and expansion of the existing Passenger Terminal Building, Terminal T1 or T1, which will
be destined to the attention of domestic flights, including one additional jetty to the west
• The construction and equipping of a new passenger terminal, which will be destined to the attention
of international flights, New Terminal Building, Terminal T2 or T2, which will include a central processor
and 4 piers.
• In both cases all necessary civil works and facilities to airlines, passengers and other airport users for
operation, comfort and safety in line with those of a world class airport are included
• Facilities for Carabineros and Investigative Police is also included

2. DESIGN CODES AND DOCUMENTS

The following documents, standards and codes are used as a basis for the design of the structure, in full
compliance with Chilean construction regulations.

In some instances, several documents, standards and codes cover the same field. In such case, the main
documents serve as a base and complementary documents are used in addition, when needed. As an example
in the case of NCh 431 and 432, loads used for calculations will be the most constraining loads derived from
1977/1971 official versions compared to the 2010 versions (which are not officially in force yet).

3. MATERIALS

REINFORCED CONCRETE

3.1.1 Concrete & Reinforcing steel

Reinforced concrete structures design is based on H30 or H35 grade concrete as per ACI 318-08 and NCh
204 2006, “Acero – Barras laminadas en caliente para hormigon armado“.

• Design strength: fc = 25 MPa or 30MPa depending on the buildings

• Young Modulus E = 23500 MPa or 25750 MPa

Other grades of concrete may be used, according to requirements of the structure.

The design of the structures is based on A630-420H reinforcing steel as per ACI 318-08 and NCh 430 2008
standards.

• Design resistence: fy = 420 MPa

• Young Modulus E = 200 000 MPa

Concrete covers are set as per. DS 61 2011, and detailed in concrete specifications and general notes
drawings.

3.1.2 Minimum steel ratios

In order to prevent brittle concrete rupture and shrinkage related issues for reinforced concrete elements, the
following minimum reinforcing steel ratios will be used:
• Slabs 0,0018
• Walls (vertical and horizontal) 0,0025
• Beams 0,0033
• Columns 0,0100

Minimum foundations surface reinforcement to control shrinkage, per face, will be:

Element Rebar Spacing

thickness (cm) diameter (mm) (cm)
25 8 20
30 10 20
30-40 10 20
40-50 12 20
50-60 12 20
60-80 16 20
80-110 16 20
> 110 16 20

3.1.3 Shrinkage /Temperature

For concrete dimensions up to 30m between joints, the temperature effect or shrinkage can be neglected.

In the design of the structures, it was attempted to keep the distance between joints in the concrete structure
below 60m. In some instances joints are more distant, up to 84m.

In all cases, a tensional analysis of both effects over structural elements must be considered for larger blocks.

Structural Design Criteria
STRUCTURAL STEEL

3.2.1 Steel grades

Steel structures are designed according to AISC 360-10 or ICHA 2008, and seismic provision 341-10.

The steel grade used for design is A36 steel.

• Yield strength: fy = 253MPa

• Young Modulus E = 200 000 MPa

Other steel grades may be used, according to requirements of the structure.

3.2.2 Thermal expansion and joints

When steel structures are used for slabs support and bracing in addition of concrete slabs, the joints in the
structure are located at distance of 60m maximum in order to minimize shrinkage and temperature effects.

In the case of the T2 Piers roofs structures, joints are located above the joints of the slabs structure below.

In the case of the T2 Main Processor roof, in order to optimize the behavior of the roof in seismic event, joints
are different than in the concrete structure below. Joints are located in such a way that the roofs over the
connectors areas are independent from the central roof structure. The main roof structure covers the whole
central part of the building. The design of the central part thus takes into account the possible differential
displacements at the bottom of the steel columns.

4. FOUNDATIONS DESIGN

SOIL PROFILE AND WATER TABLE

Overall, the existing soils in the area are mainly sandy loam, with interbedded layers of little plastic clays, silty
sands and gravels. The compactness and / or consistency of these soils is variable, usually between medium
to high. It is noted that the materials do not present a regular interspersed stratigraphic sequence and instead,
mainly near the surface, there is no continuity between the lateral stratigraphic drilling records.

According to the revised history, it is estimated that at depths between 13 and 19 m in the project area, is a
volcanic ash cemented generally characterized as pomacita natural state; the measured thickness is greater
than 4 m and it is even estimated that it may reach 30 m.

In general, characteristics and geotechnical properties of the ground are very similar throughout the project
area, but it is possible to recognize a high human intervention due to excavation, filling, diversion of
watercourses and others who have modified their properties.

Regarding the water table, in the winter of 1991 geotechnical explorations indicated that the reported water
table varied between 0.20 m to 1.80 m. Subsequent explorations reported varying levels between 2.17 m and
3.70 m over (levels 94-95); This level can be even lower, as estimated most likely detected could be due to
infiltration flows running down existing sandy lenses and contributions of groundwater, including artesian. As
a reference, ground floor level in the project corresponds to level 99,2.

In the drilling conducted in December 2011 and January 2012, a water table at depth between 6.30 m 3.10 m
was detected. According to what is stated in the 2012 Stantec report, Vs30 measurements were performed
using the REMI method results led to values between 315 and 415 m/s. SPT penetration tests were also
conducted, which yielded values N SPT ˃ 30 strokes/ft.

SEISMIC DATA

According to the current rules of seismic design of buildings updated by Supreme Decree No. 61 published in
Official Gazette on December 13, 2011, for purposes of seismic soil classification corresponds to Type D (refer
to section 5.5.2).

Source: D.S. 61, ítem 12.3.Load assumptions

FOUNDATION TYPES

A geotechnical investigation is being carried out, and soil information and characteristics will be updated when
the results are available. Foundations currently envisionned are pad footings or concrete piles, depending on
the localization and loads from the structure.

As drainage and waterproofing systems will be provided by others for the buildings which have basement
levels, foundations are not calculated taking into account buoyancy loads.

Choice of foundations for the buildings is detailed the Memoria de Diseño Preliminar.

Structural Design Criteria
Notes:
• The loads in the table above are assumptions from the Structure Design team. For the values that
need to be validated by CJV and other Design teams (CJV / ARQ / MEP / SAS), as well as NPU
Concessionary, the last column of the table indicates the validating body. All load assumptions
should be approved by the MOP.
• Special equipment loads estimates indicated when available. Loads to be confirmed depending on
their technical specifications.
• Storage areas to be divided between heavy and light storage areas according to stock
• In case some loads are not specified in the previous list or by the equipment manufacturer, loads will
be derived from the Chilean Standard NCh 1537 Of. 2009.
• In the case of the steel structure roofs of the T2 Main Processor and Piers, it was considered an
average 110 daN/m² dead load taking into account services, suspended ceilings, roofing and
secondary structure associated.

SNOW LOADS

As defined in the NCh 431 Of.77, from the level above sea and latitude of the airport, the snow load is 25
daN/m².

WIND LOADS

As defined in the NCh 432 Of.71, the project is considered located on open field; hence the basic pressure
used to calculate wind loads on the structure is 126 daN/m² (heights over 20m).

SEISMIC LOADS

5.5.1 Building category

According to Table 4.1 of the NCh 433, the category that is assigned to this type of structure is IV (most
important). For that category, according to Table 6.1, the coefficient of importance is:

• I = 1,20

It is to be noted that currently all buildings (including car parks) in the area are assigned the same category
in order to be able to retain the full functionality of the airport in case of earthquake.

5.5.2 Seismic zone

According to Table 4.2 of the NCh 433, AMB Airport corresponds to the Seismic Zone 2. Effective Acceleration
has the following value (Table 6.2):

• A0 = 0,3 g.

The related parameters are:

• S = 1,20
• T0 = 0,75 [s]
• T’ = 0,85 [s]
• n = 1,80
• p = 1,00.

Página 10 / 14
Structural Design Criteria
5.5.3 Vertical acceleration

Vertical accelerations will be taken into account as per required in NCh 433 Art. 5.8.2: canopies, balconies,
eaves and other vulnerable items to the vertical action of the earthquake will be designed for a vertical force
equal to permanent loads + live loads, increased by 30% (so 1,30*D + 1,30*L). This force will be applied
vertically in both directions (up and down.

5.5.4 Elastic spectrum

According to Article 12 of S.D. 61 and NCh 433, the elastic spectrum for this project is:

14,0

12,0

10,0
Sae [m/s2]

8,0

6,0

4,0

2,0

0,0
0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0
Tn [s]
Elastic seismic spectrum

Design spectra will be evaluated for each building depending on their dynamic characteristics.

5.5.5 Mass combination for roofs

For steel structure roofs, the provisions of the NCh 2369 Of 2003 “Diseño Sísmico de Estructuras e
Instalaciones Industriales” are used, as they are more detailed than the ones of the NCh 433 Of 2009 “Diseño
Sísmico de Edificios”. As a consequence, live loads are not considered in the assessment of the seismic mass
of the roof.

THERMAL EXPANSION

Temperature effects will be calculated taking into account the following design temperatures:
• Maximum: +40 °C
• Minimum: -2 °C

Thermal expansion loads will be applied as per the design range above for structures that are exposed and in
construction / temporary stages of the construction. Taking an average temperature between 20°C and 25°C,
the temperature range used in calculations is then ± 25°C.

However for structures that are protected by insulation from the temperature changes, it is proposed to reduce
the range of temperature loads to ± 10°C to take into account the largely reduced temperature changes.

LOAD COMBINATIONS

They are made according to NCH 3171 Of 2010 standard Load Combinations:

Load and resistance factor design (LRFD):

6. SERVICEABILITY

ALLOWABLE VERTICAL DEFLECTIONS

The allowable vertical deflection for horizontal structure elements are limited to:

6.1.1 Reinforced concrete structures

• Roofs without partitions: L/180 (ID - instantaneous live loads deflection)

• Stories without partitions: L/360 (ID)
• Stories with rigid partitions: L/480 (SD - deflection occurring after partitions set up)
• Stories with flexible partitions: L/240 (SD)

Total deflection calculated for concrete structure elements takes into account the long term deflection induced
by concrete creep and shrinkage, according to ACI 318.2008

Without further specifications, the long term deflection will be taken as the double of the instantaneous
deflection. For concrete slabs in particular, the total long term deflection will be taken as the triple of the
instantaneous deflection due to permanent loads.

6.1.2 Steel and composite structures

• Roof elements: L/200

• Purlins: L/200
• Secondary beams: L/300
• Primary beams: L/400
• Trusses (total loads): L/400
• Trusses (live loads): L/700
• Machinery supports: L/800

ALLOWABLE HORIZONTAL MOVEMENTS

The allowable limits for horizontal displacements are set as follows:

• Wind allowable horizontal movement : h/200

Ref Association of Iron and Steel Engineers, AISE St. 13, Pittsburg 1969
• Seismic allowable horizontal movement: h/500
Supreme Decree No. 61 published in Official Gazette on December 13, 2011

Where: h is the interstorey height, calculated between mass centres of the storeys.

MOVEMENT JOINTS SIZE

The opening of seismic movement joints will be defined as per NCh 433 Art. 5.10. The width will be at least
2D where D has to comply with:
• D > 2‰ of total height
• D > 2R1/3 d where d is the calculated horizontal displacement of the structure block (R1 according to
NCh 433 and DS 61)
• D > 1,5cm

In the case of joints without double structural elements (thus located on corbels), the design displacement
used is conservative, and calculated with the elastic spectrum (R = 1).

Página 13 / 14
Structural Design Criteria
CRACK CONTROL

Concrete cracks will be taken into account in the design according to:
• General structure elements: ACI 318-08
• Hydraulic structures: ACI 350-06: Code Requirements for Environmental Engineering Concrete
Structures

VIBRATION CONTROL

Floor vibrations will be verified according to the recommendations given in:

• NCh 1537 10. Dynamic effects , referred to this type of buildings, must be designed with natural
frequencies greater than 5 Hz
• AISC Steel Design Guide Series N° 11, Floor Vibrations due to human activities.

FIRE RESISTANCE OF STRUCTURES

Fire rating of the structures (concrete and steel elements) is given by the General Urbanism and Construction
document, Title 4 Chapter 3 regarding the conditions of fire safety.

Fire rating of structures is given in the Informe Inicial de Seguridad contra el Incendio, issued by ADPi, and
detailed below.

For floors:
• Columns: F-120 (120mn stability requirement)
• Beams and slabs: F-120 (120mn stability requirement)

For roofs:
• Columns, beams and roof structure for the parts that are below 6.1m above the last floor: F-60
(60mn stability requirement)
• Columns, beams and roof structure for the parts that are above 6.1m above the last floor: no
requirement

Systems currently considered for the fire protection of structures is intumescent coating, mortars and active
sprinkler system.
