This paper discussed an elastic-plastic time-history analysis on a structure with MR dampers based on member model, in which the elastoplastic member of the structure is assumed to be single component model and simulated by threefold line stiffness retrograde model. In order to obtain better control effect, Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control algorithm is used to calculate the optimal control force, and Hrovat boundary optimal control strategy is used to describe the adjustable damping force range of MR damper. The effectiveness of the MR damper based on LQG algorithm to control the response of the structure was investigated. The results from numerical simulations demonstrate that LQG algorithm can effectively improve the response of the structure against seismic excitations only with acceleration feedback.

Base on the elastic-plastic analytical theory, an elastic-plastic time-history analysis of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge, which engineering background is Dalian Gulf Cross-sea Bridge program, is performed by using general finite element software Midas/Civil. The material nonlinearity of structure is considered with reinforcement concrete fiber model, and distributed hinge type is adopted to simulate for plastic hinge. Compared with the results of an elastic time-history analysis, it is shown that for the structure into the elastic-plastic stage, because of the production of plastic hinge, the input seismic energy is dissipated partially, and the internal forces of structural elements are reduced. The bending moments and axial forces occur mainly in the main tower root. Furthermore, the rotation properties of the plastic hinge causes displacement increasing of certain parts of the structure, which assumes mainly the vertical displacement present on the top of main tower and the main beam. In conclusion, it is proposed that caging devices are set in the design.

Abstract Quayside container crane is a kind of large dimension steel structure, which is the major equipment used for lifting container at modern ports. With the aim to ensure the safety and reliability of the crane under seismic loads, an anti-seismic device is designed. To validate the efficiency and reliability of the anti-seismic device, elastic-plastic time history analysis under rare seismic intensity is carried out. And the results of elastic-plastic time history analysis when the crane installed anti-seismic device and uninstalled the device are compared.

The entire Himalayan belt including Nepal area, because of its active tectonic movement, is seismically active causing high risk of earthquake in this region. It is important to evaluate the seismic performance of the structures including bridges to identify to what extent they would survive during earthquake. A reinforced concrete two hinged arch bridge located in Chobhar, Nepal has been selected for the research purpose. This paper presents the determination of seismic performance of a reinforced concrete arch bridge under different ground motions. The seismic input was taken as five different earthquake ground motion histories having different V/H peak ground acceleration ratio for time history analysis. Displacement capacity of the bridge was determined from pushover analysis. Time history analysis was conducted in two different steps: first only horizontal acceleration was applied and next vertical acceleration was applied in addition to horizontal ground motion. Comparisons were made between the responses of the bridge for these two cases. It was found that inclusion of vertical component of ground motion has negligible effect in variation of longitudinal displacement. However, there was remarkable effect in axial force variation. Significant effect in axial force variation in arch rib was observed as V/H ratio increased although the effect in longitudinal displacement with increase in V/H ratio was negligible. Moment demand also increased due to high axial force variation because of vertical ground motion.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2016, 12(1): 120-126

The behavior of the arch bridge structure has its own peculiarities in distributing loading. The curved shape of the structure allows the structure's own weight to be transferred to the foundation as the normal compressive force without bending. the load is transferred through the semicircular structure to the abutments on either side. The curved (semicircular) design will naturally shift the load received by the floor of the bridge vehicle towards the abutment which keeps both sides of the bridge from moving sideways. Earthquake is a dominant horizontal cyclic loading of a structure. The performance of bridge structures due to the effects of earthquake loading is an important aspect that needs to be taken into account in designing and evaluating the bridge structure. The method used in this study is time history analysis. This article aims to evaluate the performance of arch bridge structures due to earthquake loads by using time-history analysis method. The results of the structure performance show that. The performance of the bridge due to the loading of the Loma prieta earthquake is generated from the period scale that has been analyzed with the 10 second period of the first earthquake for each result. Based on the results of Midas analysis, the strongest location where the damage occurs is in the middle of the bridge road. At the coordinates of 19 the largest displacement is at joint 268 of 1.177169 mm and for U2 of 0.0194 mm and U3 of 31.763771 mm.
