Controlled Rocking Approach for the Seismic Resistance of Structures
An innovative lateral force resisting system is investigated that allows steel braced frames to uplift and rock on their foundation, partially isolating the frame. Passive energy dissipation devices are implemented at the uplifting location to control the rocking response to within allowable limits. The structure’s gravitational forces provide an inherent restoring force during the rocking resp...
متن کاملSeismic Protection Design of Nonlinear Structures Using Hybrid Simulation
Seismic protective devices in the form of isolation and supplemental damping devices can be effective means in mitigating the seismic responses of structures. The required stiffness and damping values to achieve optimal performance depend on the characteristics of structures and ground motions. Instead of using actively controlled devices, one can select the passive devices to roughly mimic the...
متن کاملSeismic Response of Building Structures with Sliding Non-structural Elements
Interaction between a structure under base excitation and heavy non-structural elements that it supports is significant in the seismic analysis and design of the structure. Heavy non-structural elements may slide/rock under base excitation, and this dynamic action affects the seismic behavior of the supporting structure. Hence, in this study, a numerical model was presented to describe the seis...
متن کاملModern Seismic Protection Systems for Civil and Industrial Structures
The limits of the conventional fixed-base seismic design of structures are stressed, together with the capability of the modern seismic vibration passive control (SVPC) techniques to overcome such limits, for both new and existing constructions. The main features of such techniques (seismic isolation, energy dissipation and those using shock transmitters and shape memory alloys) are summarized....
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic Performance of Rocking-Foundation and Hinging-Column Bridges
Many engineers are hesitant to specify rocking foundations for ordinary bridges because of the unsubstantiated notion that rocking bridges are more susceptible to instability than conventional fixed-base bridges. A parametric study using a finite element model including large deformation effects compares the performance and stability of stiff, flexible, tall, and short hinging-column and rockin...
