چکیده

It was presented in the previous joint panel in 2011 that we have made a proposal on method for evaluating the long-period earthquake motion time history with periods from 0.1 to 10 second using designated earthquake magnitude, shortest distance to the source area and location of hypocenter in view of establishing the generation scheme for design long-period motions for super high-rise buildings and applied it for the simulation of large subduction-zone earthquakes. The 2011 Off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake has provided us with an opportunity to examine the method by comparing recorded motions with simulated ones. We had made revisions to this proposed method. We also made simulations for the Tohoku earthquake with the revised method. We have obtained better fit of the formula to the recorded motions. In addition, long-period ground motions were simulated for a three-events-connected source model expected to occur in the Nankai trough region.

Influence of the Isolator Characteristics on the Response of the Isolated Buildings in the Near-FaultEarthquakes

Seismic base isolation are devices that used to limit the human and material damage caused by an earthquake. This devices diffuse the energy induced at the time of the earthquake before being transferred to the structure.The base isolated structures when subjected to the near-fault eathquakes which contain long-period velocity pulses that may coincide with the period of base isolated structures...

Response of high-rise and base-isolated buildings to a hypothetical mw 7.0 blind thrust earthquake.

High-rise flexible-frame buildings are commonly considered to be resistant to shaking from the largest earthquakes. In addition, base isolation has become increasingly popular for critical buildings that should still function after an earthquake. How will these two types of buildings perform if a large earthquake occurs beneath a metropolitan area? To answer this question, we simulated the near...

Ranking Passive Seismic Control Systems by Their Effectiveness in Reducing Responses of High-Rise Buildings with Concrete Shear Walls Using Multiple-Criteria Decision Making

In recent decades, the dual systems of steel moment-resisting frames and RC shear walls have found extensive application as lateral load-resisting systems for high-rise structures in seismically active areas. This paper investigated the effectiveness of tuned mass damper (TMD), viscous damper, friction damper, and the lead-core rubber bearing in controlling the damage and seismic response of hi...

Base Shear Estimated from Floor Accelerations and Column Shears

This paper compares base shear computed from floor accelerations (inertial base shear) and column shears (structural base shear) for several single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) systems and two mid-rise, multi-story buildings due to a suite of 30 earthquake ground motions. The presented results show that the inertial base shear is close to structural base shear in short-period (<1 sec) SDF systems bu...
