Portal Frame

An innovative displacement-dependent metallic yielding damper designed to deform inelastically under in-plane flexural bending for seismic protection of building structures is proposed. The in-plane flexural damper that originated from a portal frame is modified by replacing the beam with a circular arch so that the effect of stress concentration can be minimized. Component tests of the in-plane dampers were conducted and compared with analytical results. Hysteresis of the component test indicates a consistent energy-dissipative characteristic of the damper. Moreover, seismic performance of the proposed damper via a series of shaking table tests was carried out. Excellent seismic performance of the proposed in-plane arched damper was observed. The acceleration responses in both peak and root-mean-squares of all floors are significantly reduced, and were greater in extent compared to the earthquake intensity increases.

Isolation Performance

The isolation effectiveness of the Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system was further investigated via a series of prescribed shaking-table tests. The dynamic response of GSI system was also evaluated in detail of this work. A parametric study for assessment of the isolation performance of GSI was conducted by varying experimental key parameters, such as rubber percentage of rubber-sand mixtures (RSM), configuration of the foundation, storey number of the superstructure, and different kinds of seismic acceleration inputs. From the parametric survey, it can be concluded that the GSI system can to some extent attenuate the dynamic response of the superstructure under big earthquake shakings.
