Near Fault Ground Motion

This paper proposes two kinds of arrangements of buckling-restrained brace dampers to strengthen soft-first-storey structures locally. Two types of near-fault ground motion, with and without pulse, were selected for a study of the seismic response characteristics of soft-first-storey structures with and without buckling-restrained brace dampers, and the effects of different bracing arrangements on improving the seismic performance of soft-first-storey structures were recognized. The results show that, compared with pulse-free ground motion, near-fault pulsed ground motion results in a more severe seismic response in soft-first-storey frame structures, leading to more serious and rapid destruction of the main structure. Buckling-restrained brace dampers have an obvious energy dissipation effect, play a better role in protecting the main structure, and have good practicality. Compared with structures in which the buckling-restrained brace dampers are arranged only on the bottommost layer, the bottom-four-layer-support structure is more advantageous in terms of seismic performance.

Forward Rupture Directivity

This paper investigates the performance of seismic-isolated bridges (SIBs) subjected to near-fault (NF) earthquakes with forward rupture directivity effect (FRDE) in relation to the isolator, substructure, and NF earthquake properties, and examines some critical design clauses in AASHTO's Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design. It is found that the SIB response is a function of the number of velocity pulses, magnitude of the NF ground motion, and distance from the fault. Particularly, a reasonable estimation of the expected magnitude of the NF ground motion according to the characteristics of the bridge site is crucial for a correct design of the SIB. It is also found that the characteristic strength and post-elastic stiffness of the isolator may be chosen based on the characteristics of the NF earthquake. Furthermore, some of the AASHTO clauses are found to be not applicable to SIBs subjected to NF ground motions with FRDE.
