This paper presents a direct displacement design (DDD) procedure that can be used for seismic design of multistory wood-framed structures. The proposed procedure is applicable to any pure shear deforming system. The design procedure is a promising design tool for performance-based seismic design since it allows consideration of multiple performance objectives (e.g., damage limitation, safety requirements) without requiring the engineer to perform a complex finite element or nonlinear time-history analysis of the complete structure. A simple procedure based on normalized modal analysis is used to convert the code-specified acceleration response spectrum into a set of interstory drift spectra. These spectra can be used to determine the minimum stiffness required for each floor based on the drift limit requirements. Specific shear walls can then be directly selected from a database of backbone curves. The procedure is illustrated on the design of two three-story ATC-63 archetype buildings, and the results are validated using nonlinear time-history analysis.

Regional seismic damage simulation of buildings provides decision-makers with important information for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. Utilizing nonlinear time history analysis using multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for buildings, and the next-generation performance-based earthquake engineering, an open-source general-purpose scientific workflow for seismic damage simulation and loss prediction of urban buildings (referred to as SimCenter Workflow) is presented in this study. To introduce the SimCenter Workflow process in detail and demonstrate its advantages, a seismic damage simulation and loss prediction for 1.8 million buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area were performed using the SimCenter Workflow. The open nature and modularization of the SimCenter Workflow facilitate its extensibility and make it practical for researchers to apply to seismic damage simulations in other regions.

In order to analyze seismic response of the curved ramp bridge, this paper selected a single curved ramp bridge in a multilevel junction system as its research object. Considering the piers, beams, bearings and expansion joints simulation, it respectively built the calculating models for a curved ramp bridge and a corresponding linear one. Using nonlinear time history analysis, the paper contrasts seismic response of the curved ramp bridge with that of the linear one in several different seismic inputs. Finally the seismic response characteristic of a curved ramp bridge is put forward.

In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of bridges with unseating prevention devices in the superstructure were investigated. These devices can prevent bridge from unseating and divert most of the seismic forces from transferring to the bridge columns. The models of the rubber bearing, restrainer, and shear key were proposed and implemented into the SAP 2000 to obtain the seismic response of the bridge. The nonlinear time history analysis was used to determine the time history response of the superstructure of the bridge. In the meantime, the Hilbert–Huang Transform (HHT) was used to transfer the displacement–time responses of the superstructure of the bridge into the time–frequency domain, while the spectra are a function of both frequency and time. The spectra of the HHT can be used to determine the operation sequences of the unseating prevention devices.

Friction Pendulum Systems have been used as base isolation systems for both new construction and retrofit around the world. This paper presented its implementation in an office building located in Shanghai. To evaluate its impact on seismic performance of the retrofitted structure, models are needed to capture the intricate nonlinear behavior of both structural components and isolator elements. Nonlinear time history analysis of the building for the original and retrofitted cases was conducted to assess the efficiency of the isolation system at the high earthquake level. The numerical results indicate that the retrofitted structure experiences significantly less damage and less deformation due to the shake isolation and energy dissipation through the isolators.

ABSTRAKPenggunaan bresing tahan tekuk dapat menjadi solusi atas kebutuhan struktur tahan gempa di Indonesia. Disipasi energi pada elemen bresing tahan tekuk dilakukan melalui kinerja plastifikasi bagian inti bresing akibat beban tarik dan tekan. Penelitian ini berisi kajian kinerja dari bangunan rangka baja beraturan dengan bresing tahan tekuk (BRB) dengan variasi level ketinggian lantai yaitu 3 lantai, 8 lantai dan 15 lantai. Analisis struktur 3D dilakukan dengan dua prosedur analisis yaitu modal pushover dan nonlinear time history pada program ETABS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan elemen BRB sangat mempengaruhi kinerja struktur, yang terlihat dari pola drift yang terjadi. Untuk struktur beraturan dengan berbagai ketinggian, tingkat kinerja struktur dengan BRB cukup baik, yaitu Immediate Occupancy (IO) akibat beban gempa rencana. Plastifikasi hanya terjadi pada BRB, dan kelelehan pada balok mulai terbentuk sampai mekanisme keruntuhan terjadi. Hasil modal pushover dengan nonlinear time history pada bangunan 15 lantai yang cukup mirip menunjukkan bahwa modal pushover dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi kinerja struktur BRB yang beraturan.Kata kunci: kinerja struktur, bresing tahan tekuk, immediate occupancy, modal pushover, nonlinear time history ABSTRACTBuckling restrained braces (BRB) can be an alternative solution for earthquake resistant steel structure in Indonesia. The energy dissipation for buckling restrained elements is conducted through yielding of the core due to tension or compression forces. This study presents an evaluation of the structural performance of steel structures with BRB varying in heights, 3-story, 8-story and 15-story. The 3D structural analysis was carried out with ETABS software using 2 methods, Modal Pushover and Nonlinear Time History. The results shows that the selection of BRB elements greatly affected the structural performance, showed by the drift pattern. For regular structures with variation in heights, structures with BRB behaved satisfactory under the design load with the performance level of Immediate Occupancy (IO). Yielding was limited to BRB members, and afterwards the yielding occurred on beams until collapse. The results of modal pushover and time history analysis for 15-story structure are similar, thus modal pushover can be used to predict the performance of regular structural system with BRB.Keywords: structural performance, buckling restrained brace, immediate occupancy, modal pushover analysis, nonlinear time history analysis

In this work the performance of U-Shaped Steel Isolator is evaluated for a 5-story building subjected to seismic and blast vibrations. The structure is analysed using SAP 2000 software and a nonlinear time history analysis is carried out. The effectiveness of using base isolation is studied by comparing the structural responses of the building with isolator and without isolator and noticeable difference was observed. As the U-Shaped isolator absorbs the energy in all directions, it effectively controls the structural responses. In this study, the building is subjected to four different seismic and four different blast induced ground motions. It was observed that by the use of supplementary energy device there is reduction in top story acceleration, base shear and less deformation in the structure. This study concludes that the use of isolator has been effective in minimizing structural responses.
