The Newmark seismic time-history analysis method can take into account the effects of natural seismic peak ground acceleration (PGA), duration, and seismic frequency; seismic wave can be input into the method for simulation. This study calculates the dynamic response of the typical seabed slope of Caofeidian in the event of a similar Tangshan earthquake, and the displacement value can be used to quantitatively reflect the influence of the earthquake on the slope of the site. The allowable displacement value of the top of buildings or submarine slope can be used as a marker of security and stability analysis, which can further provide important reference for similar slope stability evaluation and offshore engineering construction.

The slope shape is one of the most intuitive factors affecting the seismic stability of a slope. However, current research on this subject is mainly focused on statistical analysis and seismic response law, and the influence on seismic stability evaluation of the slope is rarely discussed. Furthermore, slope shapes are often simplified for easy numerical model building. In view of this, five slope models with different slope shapes are considered, and the time-history analysis method and Newmark method are chosen to evaluate the seismic stability of these slope models under different amplitudes. The purpose of this paper is to compare the seismic stability of slopes with different slope shapes and to study the feasibility of simplifying the slope shape when evaluating the seismic stability of a slope.

Seismic Hazard Map

The recent seismic code SNI 1726-2012 is significantly different compared to the older code SNI 1726-2002. The seismic hazard map was significantly changed and the level of maximum considered earthquake was significantly increased. Therefore, buildings designed according to outdated code may not resist the higher demand required by newer code. In this study, seismic performance of Hotel X in Kupang, Indonesia which was designed based on SNI-1726-2002 is investigated. The structure was analyzed using Nonlinear Time History Analysis. The seismic load used was a spectrum consistent ground acceleration generated from El-Centro 18 May 1940 North-South component in accordance to SNI 1726-2012. The results show that Hotel X can resist maximum considered earthquake required by SNI 1726-2012. The maximum drift ratio is 0.81% which is lower than the limit set by FEMA 356-2000 (2%). Plastic hinge damage level is also lower than the allowance in ACMC 2001.

Acceleration Response Spectrum

Based on the vertical seismic information, the vertical seismic response spectrum was calculated by Matlab Lsim function. The seismic effect of Kiewitt-Lamella suspended-dome was measured by dynamic to static ratio. According to the EL-Centro seismic wave, it analyzed and compared the dynamic to static ratios which were calculated by the following four vertical seismic calculation methods respectively: the simplified method of specification, the mode-superposition response spectrum methods based on the horizontal earthquake affecting coefficients and the vertical acceleration response spectrum respectively, and the time history analysis method. Analysis shows that: For the seismic effect, the time history analysis method is larger than the other three methods, and the method based on the vertical acceleration response spectrum is closer to the time history analysis method. Owing to large difference of the four methods for seismic effect, various methods should be adopted to ensure the safety of vertical seismic design.

Isolation Performance

Different friction bearing ratios have effects on the base isolation property of parallel composite isolation system subjected to the seismic excitation. In order to deeply investigate how the friction bearing ratio affect the isolation property, the numerical simulation was carried out by the time-history analysis method, in which the seismic response of parallel composite isolation system with different friction bearing ratios under different acceleration peak values were calculated. Then, the effects of different friction bearing ratios on the base maximum shear coefficients and base maximum displacements; the hysteretic characteristics and nonlinear properties were analyzed and discussed. The results show that, for the parallel composite isolation system, friction bearing ratio is a key factor affecting the isolation property and the nonlinear properties are tightly related to the friction bearing ratio and acceleration peak values.

In this paper, we calculate and analyze a tall building project of seismic isolation design. It is a frame-shear wall structure, which has twelve stories on the ground. And then, we use the time history analysis method to calculate the isolation structure. It is found that isolation equipment can extend the period of the structure, reduce the story drift in frequency earthquake. And it also can control the response of the structure. In rare earthquake, the story drift can meet the demand of unclasped; the displacement and force of the equipment can satisfy the demand of the code for seismic design of building.

Key Points

Slope dynamic factor of safety (FOS) under earthquake was calculated based on time history analysis method and compared with acceleration time history to analyze correspondence between them. In view of the fact that earthquake is a dynamic process, this paper proposed that three respects can be considered to analyze the slope stability rather than adopting a single FOS value. Firstly, the variation trend of the FOS time history can be combined with the forces on key points to analyze slope stability. Secondly, the displacement and stress vector fields can be adopted to evaluate the final slope stability. Thirdly, the variation trend of the displacement and velocity time history can be used as well. The above methods are applied to Beihoushan landslide in Hanyuan in Wenchuan earthquake to evaluate slope stability under earthquake and the analysis shows that the slope is stable as a whole.

The 1960S

In the 1960s several hundred structural response recorders (SRR) were installed all over India. An SRR is a simple instrument consisting of six seismoscopes that provide “maximum response” during an earthquake, without providing the time history. In the past earthquakes, these SRRs have provided several hundred records but they have not been effectively utilized for hazard studies because the measurements from these instruments are considered crude. This paper compares the data obtained from SRRs with that from more modern strong-motion accelerographs (SMAs) for four earthquakes in India. It is shown through statistical analysis that the response obtained from the SRRs is comparable to that from the SMAs. A method has been presented for estimating peak ground acceleration (PGA) from SRR data. Thus, it is shown that SRRs can provide a substantial amount of PGA data for attenuation studies. Many countries may find SRRs useful because of the low costs associated with their manufacture and maintenance.

The current performance-based seismic assessment procedure can be computationally intensive as it requires many time history analyses (THA) each requiring time intensive post-processing of results. Time history analysis is a part of structural analysis and is the calculation of the response of a structure to any earthquake. It is one of the main processes of structural design in regions where earthquakes are prevalent. The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of embankment dam located on the Oued RHISS in the Province of AL HOCEIMA using the THA method. To monitor structural behavior, the seismic vulnerability of structure is evaluated under real earthquake records with considering the soil-structure-fluide interaction. In this study, a simple assistant program is developed for implementing earthquake analyses of structure with ANSYS, ground acceleration–time history data are used for seismic analysis and dynamic numerical simulations were conducted to study and identify the total response of the soil-structure system.

Strength Variability

Influence of strength variability of braces on the weak shear type concentrically-braced steel frames is studied by pushover and nonlinear time history analysis method, which leads to a conclusion that the overstrength of brace has obviously detrimental influence on the seismic performance of the structure, induces stronger seismic reaction and higher seismic risk. Another valuable discovery is that after the area of the braces of weak shear type centrically-braced steel frames are determined according to the requirement of current codes, the designer can intentionally specify the structural steel of comparatively low strength (for example, the 2nd group in the paper taking 70% strength of steel Q235) for the brace, which can provide the structure more excellent seismic performance.
