Abstract

NAIA is the largest airport in the Philippines which serves domestic air passengers in Manila and its surrounding cities, and is the main international access for travelers to the country. As an important lifeline transportation system, a deterministic seismic hazard analysis was carried out for NAIA to estimate the horizontal ground shaking level at the site. This study found out that the controlling maximum credible earthquake (CMCE) is governed by the West Valley Fault-2 which can potentially generate aMw 7.3earthquake. The resulting PGA for rock and stiff soil conditions are 0.693g and 0.863g, respectively. Design response spectra were generated having spec tral ordinates of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Spectral Acceleration (SA) at 0.2 sec and SA at 1.0 sec with 5% damping on a rock and stiff soil. The values of spectral acceleration were used to develop structural fragility curves for the buildings of NAIA Terminal 2 based on the earthquake loss estimation model proposed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These fragility curves are helpful in estimating the level of structural damage, economic losses and number of casualties that may arise should an earthquake event affects the said airport terminal.
