The design of steel jacket fixed offshore structures in zones of moderate seismicity is typically governed by Metocean loads. In contrast the steel gravity structure (SGS) presented in this paper, is a heavy and stiff structure. The large mass results in foundation forces from seismic events that may exceed those created by extreme cyclonic storm events. When computing the earthquake response of such structures it is essential to account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. Seismic SSI analysis of the SGS platform was performed using state-of-the-art SSI software, which analyzed a detailed three-dimensional model of the SGS supported on layered soil system. The results of this analysis were then compared with those using industry standard impedance methods whereby the layered soil is replaced by equivalent foundation springs (K) and damping (C). Differences in calculated results resulting from the different ways by which K and C are implemented in different software are presented. The base shear, overturning moment, critical member forces and maximum accelerations were compared for each of the analysis methods. SSI resulted in significant reduction in seismic demands. While it was possible to get reasonable alignment using the different standard industry analysis methods, this was only possible after calibrating the KC foundation model with software that rigorously implements SSI effects. Lessons learned and recommendations for the various methods of analysis are summarized in the paper.

Indonesia is one of the countries in the earthquake region. Therefore, it is necessary to build earthquake-resistant buildings to reduce the risk of material and life losses. Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear walls is one of effective structure element to resist earthquake forces. Applying RC shear wall can effectively reduce the displacement and story-drift of the structure. This research aims to study the effect of shear wall location in symmetric medium-rise building due to seismic loading. The symmetric medium rise-building is analyzed for earthquake force by considering two types of structural system. i.e. Frame system and Dual system. First model is open frame structural system and other three models are dual type structural system. The frame with shear walls at core and centrally placed at exterior frames showed significant reduction more than 80% lateral displacement at the top of structure.

Architectural features and other irregularities in the gravity system which apply gravity-induced lateral demands to the seismic force resisting system are being incorporated in new buildings. These gravity-induced demands have raised concerns due to the perceived potential for a ratcheting effect to occur during seismic loading. This paper summarizes the results of a study to identify if there are behavioral trends not recognized within the scope of current building codes. To this end, a nonlinear, parametric study was conducted in OpenSees to investigate the inelastic response of concrete shear wall buildings with a range of design characteristics, including gravity-induced lateral demands. The results demonstrated that a seismic ratcheting effect can develop and amplify inelastic displacement demands. The effect is significantly more prevalent in coupled shear walls compared with cantilevered shear walls. An irregularity class to address buildings with gravity-induced lateral demands on the seismic force resisting system is proposed for the 2015 National Building Code of Canada.

In this paper a nonlinear fiber elements is used for modeling of pile soil intraction. In the model, both of steel pile and surronding soil nonlinear behavior is considered using fiber element. In this paper the model is developed using DRAIN-3DX software. The method used in this paper, however, allows pile and surronding soil inelastic behavior to be modeled accurately using a single elements. The model is used to simulate nonlinear behavior of pile -soil system and the results are compared with the other analytical and available experimental results. The lateral capacities of offshore piles can be calculated using methods presented in this paper. The analysis results using method presented in this paper in terms of pile head load deformation, pile lateral capacity and pile internal forces are in a good agreement with the other available analytical or experimental results. The model can be used for the pile soil structure interaction analysis of jacket type offshore structures.
