On the Optimum Placement of Dissipators in a Steel Model Building Subjected to Shaking-Table Tests
نویسنده
چکیده
The following research presents the numerical and experimental results obtained on a reduced scale steel model of a medium-rise building structure dynamically protected with energy dissipaters. The steel-steel friction dissipates energy as the structure undergoes interstory drifts. A preliminary numerical analysis is performed to determine the best position of the friction dampers in the longitudinal frames. All the nodes of the numerical model have been assumed with the same bending stiffness. Shaking table tests have been performed, both in random vibration tests (to determine the natural periods and the dynamic characteristics of the model) and in earthquake simulation tests (to study the dynamic behaviour of the model with and without dampers). The results have been compared to those achieved during a previous experimental study based on the same model protected with only one friction damper for each longitudinal frame.

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN OF CONCENTRICALLY BRACED STEEL FRAMES SUBJECTED TO NEAR-FAULT GROUND MOTION EXCITATIONS
This paper presents a practical methodology for optimization of concentrically braced steel frames subjected to forward directivity near-fault ground motions, based on the concept of uniform deformation theory. This is performed by gradually shifting inefficient material from strong parts of the structure to the weak areas until a state of uniform deformation is achieved. In this regard, to ove...

In this study, through series of shaking table tests and statistical analysis, the efficiency of Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper (UTLCD) in structures resting on loose soils, considering soil-structure interaction was investigated. The soil beneath the structure is loose sandy soil. The Laminar Shear Box (LSB) as a soil container was adopted and the scaled form of the prototype structure nam...

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Piles Subjected To Lateral Spreading and Comparison with Shaking Table Results
Pile foundations are relatively vulnerable to lateral loads. During liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, this vulnerability is particularly conspicuous due to a loss of strength and stiffness in the liquefied soil. A nonlinear effective stress analysis incorporating an elastoplastic constitutive model based on Finite Difference Method (FLAC2D program) was used to numerically simulate shake t...

In the present work, the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in low frequency structures resting on loose soil, through numerical modelling and shaking table tests have been studied. In theoretical studies two types of models namely fixed base and flexible base structure were subjected to three selected earthquake records. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was employed for all of the numerical ...
