abstract

building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, impact force is calculated in order to get the proper evaluation of damage for preventing failure of structural elements. in this paper, focusing on numerical investigation, the effectiveness of impact and energy dissipation is studied. for this challenge, two rc structural models are considered to evaluate the pounding to calculate the impact force and finally, to compare the effectiveness of base isolation (bi) support against fixed support. a link element is located at the connection level between two studied dynamic models.

Seismic Rehabilitation of Liquid Storage Tanks using Friction Pendulum Base Isolation subjected to the Near-Fault Ground Motions

Cylindrical liquid storage tanks are considered as vital structures in industrial complex whose nonlinear dynamic behavior is of crucial importance. Some of these structures around the world have demonstrated poor seismic behavior over the last decades. There are several methods and techniques for rehabilitation and reducing damages in these structures which among them passive control devices, ...

higher mode effects in the pushover analysis of rc buildings subjected to the near-fault ground motions

accurate identification of seismic hazard and the estimation of associated seismic demands are the key components in the performance-based seismic design (pbsd). although nonlinear time history (nth) analysis is the most precise procedure to evaluate the seismic demands of buildings structures, it is relatively complex and time-consuming for routine applications. nonlinear static procedures (ns...

Seismic Behavior of Jacket Offshore Platform Subjected to Near and Far Field Ground Motions

Offshore structures such as jacket platforms have to inevitably be designed against  sever  environmental actions. In seismically active areas these structures also become susceptible to earthquake excitations. Strong ground motions recorded  in recent earthquakes, including the 1995 Kobe, Japan, 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan and 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquakes, revealed that the dynamic motions in nea...

Evaluation of Nonlinear Response of Structures to Near-Fault Ground Motions and the Comparison of Results with Near-Fault Simulated Records

Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

Response of Buildings with Inclined First-Story Columns to Near-Fault Ground Motion

In this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. The stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. The considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...
