abstract

a frequency domain dynamic analysis is needed to obtain the response of structures constructed on a system of base isolators on flexible soil when subjected to earthquake ground motion. in such systems, the lateral stiffness of the base isolators is so small, compared to the structural stiffness, that in an earthquake attack the fundamental vibration mode dominates the response. with this in mind, a simple equivalent model is introduced for the assembled structure and its flexible isolators. next, this simple model is modified to include the effect of soil flexibility. this final model is believed to be appropriate for the frequency domain analysis of the whole system. frequency independent dynamic characteristics of the model are determined and several response spectra pairs are prepared for both the exact and developed models. the results are in good agreement while the computational efforts for the simplified model is less.

OPTIMIZATION OF TMD PARAMETERS FOR EARTHQUAKE VIBRATIONS OF TALL BUILDINGS INCLUDING SOIL STRUCTURE INTERACTION

This paper investigates the optimized parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) for high-rise structures considering Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) effects. Three optimization methods, namely the ant colony optimization (ACO) technique together with artificial bee colony (ABC) and shuffled complex evolution (SCE) methods are utilized for the optimization of TMD Mass, damping coefficient and spr...

Soft Soil Seismic Design Spectra Including Soil-structure Interaction

Design spectrum is known as an essential tool in earthquake engineering for calculation of maximum (design) responses in a structural system. Soil-structure interaction (SSI), as a phenomenon of coupling of responses of a structure and its underlying soil, was explored after introduction of design spectra and has not been taken into account in developing a design spectrum traditionally. To cons...

Effects of Multiple Structure-soil-structure Interactions Considering the Earthquake Waveform and Structures Elevation Effects

The simultaneous effects of soil and existing structures are known as the site-city interaction (structure-soil-structure). The impact of site-city interaction on structure behavior is effective. Thus, this interaction in some regions decreases the responses while increases in other areas. In addition, the site-city interaction of many parameters including the soil type, density rate, height of...

OPTIMIZED TUNED LIQUID COLUMN DAMPERS FOR EARTHQUAKE OSCILLATIONS OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES INCLUDING SOIL EFFECTS

This paper investigates the optimized parameters for the tuned liquid column dampers to decrease the earthquake vibrations of high-rise buildings. Considering soil effects, the soilstructure interaction (SSI) is involved in this model. The Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) is also utilized on the roof of the building. Since the TLCD is a nonlinear device, the time domain analysis based on nonli...
