Abstract: Due to sloping land and high seismically active zones, designing and construction of multistory buildings in hilly regions is always a challenge for structural engineers. This review paper focuses to establish a review study on the Possible Types of building frame configuration in the hilly region and he behavior of Such building frames under seismic loading conditions, and (3) The recent research and developments to make such frames less vulnerable to earthquakes. This paper concludes that the dynamics characteristics of such buildings are significantly different in both horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in the center of mass and center of stiffness having eccentricity at point of action and not vertically aligned for different floors. When such frames are subjected to lateral loads, due to eccentricity it generates torsion in the frame. Most of the studies agree that the buildings resting on slanting ground have higher displacement and base shear compared to buildings resting on plain ground and the shorter column attracts more forces and undergoes damage when subjected to earthquake. Keywords: Building frame configuration, Seismic behavior, Dynamic characteristics, Response spectrum analysis, time history analysis.

It is understood that the level of seismic damping in a piping system is strongly influenced by the supports. Put differently, the supports contribute to an effective damping that can be considered in the seismic analysis of the piping system. This paper investigates the issue for the feeder pipes of a CANDU™ reactor. Feeders are numerous class I pipes in parallel, which are separated by frictional spacer elements. The results of a time history analysis, taking into account different damping mechanisms, are compared to those from a response spectrum analysis to deduce the effective damping in the system. The sensitivity of the effective damping to different parameters, such as the coefficient of friction and the input frequency content, is investigated.

Take one long span double-curved arch bridge as the example, built the finite element model of bridge structure and analyzed the modeling method, dynamic features and response under ground motion. It demonstrates that response spectrum method could meet the calculation requirement in seismic analysis of the double-curved arch bridge, and the result accords with time-history analysis method. Bridge vibration type is dispersing in quality distribution of double-curved arch bridge; it should take adequate vibration types in bridge combination. At frequent earthquake, it is actual to considerate the coalition function between arch crown structure and the main arch ring. But at rare earthquake, the arch crown buildings of masonry structure is easy to be damaged, it is not suitable to considerate the coalition function in bridge reinforcement.

The structural response of any structure is the result of various dynamic phenomenon which lead to vibrations or shaking of the structure , depending on the duration of the ground motion, its frequency and time period. In the present work, dynamic analysis of a typical steel silo is done by using linear Time History Analysis and Response Spectrum method for earthquake Zone V as per Indian code. Two analyses are carried out namely, Time History Analysis (THA) and Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) using STAAD.ProV8i software. The Load combinations are worked out as per IS-1893-2002. The results in terms of Fundamental natural period, Design Base shear, Lateral Displacements, are compared for the two different silo models considered in the present study.

In this paper, study of the response (base shear, time period, storey drift, storey displacement) of a structure is done for the tall building including basement with fixed base and with pile foundation considering Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). Finite element based program ETABS2016 v16.1.0 is used for the analysis of the superstructure. Seismic analysis is done to get the dynamic response of superstructure for two types of model,one model is with fixed baseand second is Model with Winkler spring for Chhaya Center, Thamel, a high rise building with 14 story including double basements. Itisobserved with the consideration of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The soil is replaced by spring and assigned at joints. El Centro earthquake (1940) is used for time history analysis. The response obtained due to SSI effect is compared with fixed based model. Results of analysis presented include the comparison of natural periods, base shears, displacements and overturning moment. It is observed that the natural periods increase and the base shears decrease as the base become more flexible.

Abstract The independent support motion response spectrum method (ISM) is currently used for seismic analysis to calculate the response of multiply supported piping with independent inputs of support excitations. This approach may derive considerable overestimation in the combination of group responses under the absolute sum rule of NUREG-1061 [1]. Then authors have developed an advanced method of the ISM approach named SATH (Spectrum Method Assisted by Time History Analysis). In the SATH method, both of floor response spectra and time histories of floor acceleration are used as independent inputs of support excitations. The group responses are summed with correlation coefficients which are calculated by considering each time history of modal response by independent inputs of support excitations. In this paper, the necessity of taking the effects of correlation coefficients for the group responses into account in the ISM approach is examined. The SATH method has advantage to derive a more realistic sum rule of the group responses and applicability for the actual design.

Due to the urbanization multi-story building with underground story for parking space and storage are very common in practice. Now a day, seismic energy dissipating devices are being used for various types of structures and located in basements which are difficult to maintain.  The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of horizontal dampers in the ground floor level of the multi-story building above basement. Among different types of dampers, visco-elastic [VE] dampers are used for this numerical study. Comparing with other types of passive energy dissipating devices, visco-elastic [VE] dampers are considered most suitable. For the better understanding of the effectiveness of horizontal dampers, stiff foundation system is considered thus soil-structure interaction is omitted. In this numerical study, seismic response of different hypothetical structures analyzed having different underground stories and horizontal dampers only in the ground level. Modeling and analysis of the structures and installation of the dampers are done by using finite element modeling software [ETABS]. Time history analysis was used to simulate the response of the structures. Sabah earthquake [05/June/2015] with the PGA of 0.126g was used for the time history analysis. Different dynamics parameters such as natural time period, displacement, base shear and inter-story drift were evaluated. Changes in the results among the structures demonstrated the efficiency of horizontal dampers. Optimum locations of the horizontal dampers were also revealed in this study in the basis of the analysis results.

Equivalent static, response spectrum and time history analysis are the well-known analysis methods that traditionally proposed. These methods are highly accurate but requires a great deal of time to match accelerations and the number of analyses, in the other words these methods are time consuming methods. Hence recently the structures are investigated using the durability time method, which plays an essential role in reducing the number of analyses that needs to be created; In fact, the durability time method is a new method of seismic analysis that is presented with a minimum number of time histories analysis. In this method the structure is placed under the influence of an increasing dynamic stimulation, structural response has been investigated over time and evaluated according to the corresponding response to different levels of stimulation intensity, strengths and weaknesses, and structural performance. In this study, steel folding frameworks with 5, 10 and 15 floors were investigated under two analytical methods (Time durability and Time histories methods). At first, the frameworks will be exposed under history of Imperial Governor, Kobe and Lumaprita earthquakes and analysis by finite element software ABAQUS. Then, based on the three analytical functions, the durability is investigated and the results are compared with each other. Finally, the behavior of the structures discussion and conclusion. The results show that the durability analysis method for earthquakes with higher intensity and time is more efficient, and for the Time-less earthquakes by time history method parametrically have a parametrical difference of 5%.

P-Delta analysis affect the seismic responses of structures. When the structure responds elastically, its importance can be insignificant, but it is relevant when the structure responds to an inelastic set. The P-∆ effect normally raises the structural displacement response. Dynamic instability can also occur when the system is exposed to extreme earthquake motions. Plan irregularities can lead to substantial eccentricity between the centre of mass and the centre of rigidity in the RC framed structure, which can lead to a negative lateral and torsional response. Irregular structures require more careful structural evaluation to reach a suitable behaviour during an earthquake. In this research, a parametric study will be conducted on G+29 RC framed buildings having plan irregularity with consideration of the P-delta effect. Time history analysis, response spectrum analysis and static co-efficient method will be conducted to evaluate results of different structural systems and study the parameters like Displacement, Storey drift, Time period, Axial force, Base Shear, Bending Moment, etc with the help of structural analysis software ETABs.
