Assessment of an RC existing hospital building with special moment frame using fragility curve
In this study, an existing hospital structure has been evaluated with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). This building is accommodated in Karaj with soil type II. At first, two 2-D frames along X, Y direction are selected. Then, five performance levels are determined according to “Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings (Publication No. 360) including Immediate Operational (IO), Limited Dam...
متن کاملExternal seismic pre-isolation retrofit design
This technical note outlines the design of an external seismic pre-isolation system proposed for use in LIGO Livingston. The goal is to reduce the effects of the site’s excess ground noise in the 1 3 Hz frequency band, allowing detector noise performance equivalent to that of the 4 km LIGO Hanford detector. The center histogram in Figure 8 shows the most troubling aspect of the excess noise qui...
متن کاملInfluence of Seismic Pounding on RC Buildings with and without Base Isolation System Subject to Near-Fault Ground Motions
Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...
متن کاملAn Integrated Frp Strengthening and Damping System for Multiple Performance Level Seismic Retrofit of Rc Columns
The concept of an integrated strengthening and damping retrofit system was proposed to design reinforced concrete (RC) columns for their optimal performance under multi-level earthquake hazards. As illustrated in Figure 1, the system consisted of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets wrapping around a column and viscoelastic (VE) layers on the FRP sheets. The motion of the outer surface of the ...
متن کاملOPTIMAL PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF COMPOSITE BUILDING FRAMES WITH RC COLUMNS AND STEEL BEAMS
Composite RCS building frames integrate reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams to provide an efficient solution for the design and construction of earthquake-resisting structures. In this paper, an optimization framework is developed for performance-based seismic design of planar RCS moment resisting frames. The objective functions are defined as minimizing the construction cos...
