Seismic Behavior of Jacket Offshore Platform Subjected to Near and Far Field Ground Motions
Offshore structures such as jacket platforms have to inevitably be designed against sever environmental actions. In seismically active areas these structures also become susceptible to earthquake excitations. Strong ground motions recorded in recent earthquakes, including the 1995 Kobe, Japan, 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan and 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquakes, revealed that the dynamic motions in nea...
متن کاملWavelet-based Analysis for Pulse Period of Earthquake Ground-motions
Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...
متن کاملEvaluation of 2D concentrically braced frames with cylindrical dampers subjected to near-field earthquake ground motions
Near field earthquakes have imposed major damage to buildings in the past years. In some cases, the intensity of such damage is too considerable to be disregarded. The most effective way to improve seismic performance of buildings is applying a seismic control technique. The cylindrical friction damper is one of these methods, which has become popular for its desirable performance in the energy...
متن کاملA Displacement Method Based on Field Analysis
As an important operator in polygon cluster generalization, the displacement has two contributions. One is to resolve the proximity conflicts to guarantee the legibility constraint. Another is to act as the prior operator of other generalization operator, such as aggregation. This paper presents a field based method to deal with the displacement of polygon cluster in both aspects above. On the ...
متن کاملProstate Helical Tomotherapy: A semi-empirical estimation of the scaling factor based on 2D approximating field
Background: In Helical Tomotherapy (HT), the scaling factor (SF) is the time in seconds that each leaf viewing a target would need to be open to deliver the prescribed dose. The SF is patient-specific and is used to calculate the rotational period of the gantry, and the total treatment time (TTT) of the HT. The SF is generally difficult to estimate. Currently, it takes about one hour t...
