Influence of Flexible Foundation on Isolator Wave Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article deals with the interaction between wave effects in mounts and resonances offoundations inflexible vibration isolation systems. A new model is proposed that is represented as a rigid mass supported by two linear unidirectional isolators on a flexible foundation beam, whose closed-form solutions for transmissibility and response ratio are then obtained, with which the influence of wave effects coupled with the flexibility of the foundation on the effectiveness of isolation is discussed. The wave effects on flexible isolation systems are analyzed under various parametric conditions and compared with those in rigid systems. In addition, several special cases are presented to show the transition between various limiting cases. Some approaches to control wave effects are also proposed. © /996 John Wiley & SOilS, Inc.

Effects of the Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction on the Component Demand Modifier Factor of Concrete Gravity Beams based on ASCE 41-06 Standard
The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...
متن کاملSoil Structure Interaction Effects on Hysteretic Energy Demand for Stiffness Degrading Systems Built on Flexible Soil Sites
This paper aims to study the influence of soil-structure interaction on plastic energy demand spectra directly derived from the energy-balance equations of soil-shallow-foundation structure with respect to an ensemble of far-field strong ground motions obtained from Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) database and recorded on alluvium soil. The superstructure is modeled as a single-d...
متن کاملAnalysis of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators
An analysis is given for the mechanical characteristics of multilayer elastomeric isolation bearings where the reinforcing elements-normally steel plates-are replaced by a fiber reinforcement. The fiber-reinforced isolator, in contrast to the steel-reinforced isolator (which is assumed to be rigid both in extension and flexure), is assumed to be flexible in extension, but completely without fle...
متن کاملSeismic Evaluation of Flexible-Base Low-Rise Steel Frames Using Beam-On-Nonlinear-Winkler-Foundation Modeling of Shallow Footings
Recent investigations have shown that the influences of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) may be detrimental to the seismic response of structure, and hence neglecting this phenomenon in analysis and design may lead to an un-conservative design. The objective of this paper is to quantify the effects of nonlinear soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of a low-rise special moment fram...
متن کاملThe Stochastic Response of Asymmetric Base Isolated Buildings
The coupled lateral–torsional stochastic response of an asymmetric one-storey base isolated building to earthquake excitation is presented. The stochastic model of the 1940 El-Centro earthquake, which preserves the non-stationary evolution of the amplitude and frequency content of the ground acceleration, is used as earthquake excitation. The base isolator consists of an array of elastomeric be...
