Abstract This paper deals with effect of number and position of friction dampers on seismic response of 2D steel frame. For the present study four structures with six storeys are subjected to a time history analysis. For each story are using two, four and six friction dampers with different positions keeping slip load and stiffness constant. To study the effect of number and position of dampers in structures, are analysed the time period, top roof displacement, maximum base shear and percentage energy dissipated in accordance with energy induced in the frame. The results indicate that number and placement of damper affects the structural response. A large number of dampers do not always lead to best benefit in terms of energy dissipation.

Reduction Methods

Earthquake is considered as the main destructive and collapsing factor of structures in near-fault zones, so design new structures and retrofitting existing structures in order to decrease structural responses is an unavoidable matter. One of the structural response reduction methods is using of TMDs. In this paper, a two-dimensional 10-storey steel structure as three structural models without PTMD, with a PTMD at the highest level and ten PTMDs with different characteristics at all levels with the Modal-FNA time-history analysis method under acceleration records with directivity and without directivity of Parkfield 2004 earthquake at the angle of the maximum acceleration response in the first mode period of structure after rotating the acceleration records at the station with directivity and its corresponding angle at the station without directivity were compared to each other in terms of the roof displacement, the input energy and the base shear. It was observed that the structure behavior in the case of using only one PTMD is better, but in the case where ten PTMDs with relative smaller masses were used compared to the case where only one PTMD was used is also with roof displacement reduction.

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 experimental study, elastomeric spring dampers, which have a distinct re-centering characteristic, are used to retrofit a non-ductile, previously damaged 1/3 scale model reinforced concrete building frame structure which is subjected to a variety of ground motions in shaking table tests. A velocity dependent analytical model is developed and verified for the elastomeric spring dampers. This model is implemented in the widely available non-linear dynamic time history analysis computer program DRAIN-2DX to produce response predictions which are in good agreement with experimental observations. The elastomeric spring damper devices significantly attenuate the seismic response of the structure and provide a considerable amount of energy dissipation while the main non-ductile reinforced concrete structural load carrying elements remain elastic. The effect of varying the damper configuration on the structural response was also investigated.

Energy-absorbing dampers are used to reinforce structures which are vulnerable to earthquakes. This study evaluates the performance of Improved Pall Frictional Dampers (IPFD) which is a type of Pall Frictional Damper (PFD). For this purpose, this study compares the performances of steel frames with concentric steel bracing reinforced by IPFD and steel frames with concentric steel bracing with no damper. Frames with different stories and pans were modelled in sap2000 and exposed to accelerograms of earthquakes for non-linear time history analysis. Results of analysis were studied; parameters such as story displacement, base shear and absorbed energy were compared in steel frames with damper and without damper.

Structural Responses

This study investigates the effect of base isolator on the structural responses of multistoried reinforced concrete building under time history earthquake loading. In the present study, six-storied reinforced concrete buildings with both conventional and isolated bases have been modeled. Conventional building has been modeled with fixed support whereas base-isolated building has been modeled incorporating rubber bearing near the base of all columns. Modal analysis has been performed to get an idea of possible mode shapes of the building. After that time history analysis has been performed in order to investigate the effect of seismic loading on the building structure with respect to time. The structural responses of time history analysis such as time period of different modes, storey displacements, storey acceleration, and base shear have been obtained from both conventional and base-isolated buildings. Finally, a comparative study of structural responses has been carried out between those two structures. It has been found that fundamental time period of base-isolated building is increased by 28% compared to conventional building. Moreover, base shear value of the base-isolated structure is reduced by 69% and top storey acceleration is decreased by 75% compared to conventional building. This study reveals that isolation system reduces seismic responses significantly.

In recent years, frequent earthquakes have caused great casualties and economic losses in China. And in the earthquake, damage of buildings and the collapse is the main reason causing casualties. Therefore, in the design of constructional engineering, a seismicity of architectural structure is the pressing task at issue. Through time history analysis method, this paper analyzes the time history of building structural response and then it predicts the peak response of mode by response spectrum analysis. Based on this, this paper constructs a numerical simulation model for the architecture by using finite element analysis software SATWE. At the same time, this paper also calculates the structure seismic so as to determine the design of each function structure in architectural engineering design and then provides reference for the realization of earthquake-resistant building.

Aims: The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the behavior of slit friction hybrid dampers (SFHD) on steel structures. Therefore, the behavior moment resisting steel frames of structures in original stats and structures equipped with hybrid damper with two different types of behavior was analyzed and evaluated. Background: The recent study evaluated the combined effect of shear-friction dampers and slit dampers with measurements of non-uniform strips in seismic protection for different levels of energy. The recent study was carried out a about hybrid dampers, consisting of friction and split dampers in response to small and large earthquakes. Previous results have shown the ability of inactive hybrid systems in improving the reaction of structures to traditional lateral-systems. Kim and Shin showed that structures consisted of hybrid dampers needed less repair cost and time. Methods: Pushover and time history were carried out on original structures and structures equipped with dampers, in 5 and 10 stories structures. Results: Analysis about the probability of collapse showed about 30% and 84%. Conclusion: According to the result, by adding the SFHD, increased stiffness by 17% in retrofitted structures such as drift and displacement of roof decreases by 27% and 20% in push over analysis, respectively. Also, displacement in time history analysis up to 55% reduces in average. Also, the results of the IDA show that adding the SFHD to structures significantly increases by 55% the spectral acceleration capacity in structures.
