Design Response Spectrum

Piloti-type structure is a popular architectural style consisting of only columns or minimum number of shear-resisting walls on the first floor. The large difference in lateral stiffness between the first and the upper floors makes the structure very vulnerable to earthquakes. Through the recent earthquakes in Gyeongju (2016) and Pohang (2017), due to such structural disadvantages, many damage cases have been reported, especially in low-rise piloti-type buildings with five stories or less. In this study, seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis is conducted on low-rise piloti-type buildings considering Korean geotechnical characteristics, and the effect is analytically evaluated. To achieve this goal, seismic SSI analysis applying the measured Gyeongju earthquake and design response spectrum (DRM) based on the architectural design codes are conducted by constructing three-dimensional structural analysis models with a five-story piloti-type building and four different soil properties: fill (FI), alluvial soil (AS), weathered soil (WS), and weathered rock (WR). From the analysis results, it is found that WS soil is largely affected by the seismic SSI, and the influence of the seismic SSI is different for each soil type regardless of the type of earthquake. Through the parameter study, simple and reasonable estimates are proposed to consider the SSI effect on the base shear in low-rise piloti-type buildings.

In this thesis, based on the design of a 140+90m span unusual single tower and single cable plane cable-stayed bridge, free vibration characteristics and seismic response are investigated; three dimensional finite element models of a single tower cable-stayed bridge with and without the pile-soil-structure interaction are established respectively by utilizing finite element software MIDAS/CIVIL, seismic response of Response spectrum and Earthquake schedule are analyzed respectively and compared. By the comparison of the data analysis, for small stiffness span cable-stayed bridge, the pile-soil-structure interaction can not be ignored with calculation and analysis of seismic response.

Current seismic design practice assumes the base of the building to be fixed and does not consider the flexibility of foundation and soil. This assumption is realistic only when the structure is founded on solid rock or when the relative stiffness of the foundation soil compared to the superstructure is high. Whereas, in reality due to natural ability of soil to deform, supporting soil medium modifies the response of the structure during earthquake to some extent. In this work the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on different types of foundation was studied. Present work aims to study the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on fixed base, pile foundation, raft foundation and combined pile-raft foundation. G+9 RCC building is analyzed for earthquake loads considered in zone III by response spectrum method and storey displacement and base shear force of building by considering and without considering SSI effect is found out by using MIDAS GEN software.

An evaluation of the response of a fourteen story reinforced concrete building to the 1 October 1987 Whittier earthquake and 4 October 1987 aftershock shows significant effects of soil-structure interaction. A mathematical model of the building-foundation-soil system provides response quantities not directly available from the records. The model is calibrated using the dynamic properties of the building as determined from the processed strong motion records. Soil-structure interaction reduces the base shear force in the longitudinal direction of the building compared with the typical assumption in which interaction is neglected. The reduction in base shear for this building and earthquake is approximately represented by proposed building code provisions for soil-structure interaction.
