This report presents studies on the seismic response of high-rise RC buildings in Japan. Data concerning the seismic response of approximately 600 high-rise RC buildings constructed from 1972 to 2015 were collected. Seismic response characteristics were analyzed by focusing on differences in seismic resistant structures, seismic response control structures, and seismic isolation structures. The results indicated that the maximum story drift ratio response under the level 1 study seismic ground motion (R) and the level 2 study seismic ground motion (R) criteria is smaller for seismic isolation structures than that of the seismic resistant structure and seismic response control structures. In addition, focusing on the R-R relationship, the correlation is low in the seismic resistant and seismic response control structures, but is almost linear in the seismic isolation structure. This is because the seismic isolation structure is designed such that the superstructure does not become plastic even with level 2 seismic ground motion.

Cable Stayed Bridges

<p>Cable-stayed bridges are landmark structures and key parts of transportation networks worldwide. It is of vital importance that their integrity is ensured even under very large earthquakes. The spatial variability of the ground motion could be a significant aspect of the seismic behaviour of long-span cable-stayed bridges due to the differential movement of the pylons, which may lead to an amplified seismic response and increased damage in the pylons. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of the spatial variability of the ground motion on the seismic response of cable-stayed bridges with H-shaped pylons and various span lengths. Focus is placed on the pylons of the bridges because the constitute key members for the overall stability and structural integrity of the bridge. The study explores how important the spatial variability is in the seismic response of cable-stayed bridges by considering two different orientations of the structures with respect to the seismic fault in an extensive program of non-linear response-history analyses.</p>
