Separation between Adjacent Nonlinear Structures for Prevention of Seismic Pounding
Four existing methods to calculate critical separation distances between adjacent nonlinear hysteretic structures are evaluated through Monte-Carlo simulations, for which seismic excitation is characterized as a nonstationary random process. All the methods use the well-known Double Difference Combination rule, but follow different approaches to calculate the correlation coefficient ρ. Results ...
متن کاملStochastic analysis of two adjacent structures subjected to structural pounding under earthquake excitation
Seismic pounding occurs as a result of lateral vibration and insufficient separation distance between two adjacent structures during earthquake excitation. This research aims to evaluate the stochastic behavior of adjacent structures with equal heights under earthquake-induced pounding. For this purpose, many stochastic analyses through comprehensive numerical simulations are carried out. About...
متن کاملPounding Control of Structures Using Base Isolation
The most important property of a base-isolation system is to make the base more flexible than the elements of the superstructure, but it must still be stiff enough to resist typical pounding forces, wind loadings, and similar low-amplitude horizontal forces. However, the potential consequences of earthquake-induced poundings on seismically isolated buildings can be much more substantial, and, t...
متن کاملEarthquake Pounding Effect on Adjacent Reinforced Concrete Buildings
During earthquakes, pounding of adjacent buildings occurs due to their different dynamic characteristics as well as insufficient separation distance between them. Although earthquake loading is commonly considered in structural design, pounding of adjacent buildings is not usually considered and usually causes highly unexpected damages and failures. Pounding effect was numerically investigated ...
متن کاملSecond order sensitivity analysis for shape optimization of continuum structures
This study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. A new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. All the second order required derivatives will be calculat...
