Earthquake induced floor accelerations on a high-rise building: Scale model tests on a shaking table

<p>The paper discusses results of shaking table tests on an in-scale high-rise building model. The purpose was to calibrate a dynamic numerical model for multi-hazard analyses to investigate the effects of floor acceleration. Accelerations, because of vibration of non-structural elements, affect both the comfort and safety of people. The research investigates the acceleration effects of both seismic and wind forces on an aeroelastic in-scale model of a multi-story building. The paper discusses the first phase of experiments and gives results of floor accelerations induced by several different base seismic impulses. Structural analyses were first performed on the full-scale prototype to take soil-structure interaction into account. Subsequently the scale model was designed through aeroelastic scale laws. Shaking table experiments were then carried out under different base accelerations. The response of the model and, in particular, amplification of effects from base to top are discussed.</p>

Structure Interaction

Shaking table test on soil-structure interaction system in harder site condition is presented briefly in this paper. Three-dimensional finite element analysis on shaking table test is carried out using ANSYS program. The surface-to-surface contact element is taken into consideration for the nonlinearity of the state of the interface of the soil-pile and an equivalent linear model is used for soil behavior. By comparing the results of the finite element analysis with the data from shaking table tests, the computational model is validated. Based on the calculation results, the paper gives the seismic responses under the consideration of soil-structure interaction in harder site condition, including acceleration response, contact analysis on soil pile interface and so on.

Two Alternatives

This paper deals with static and dynamic analysis of asymmetric high-rise building. Two alternatives have been analysed – without dilatation and with dilatation. Then, the influence of the dilatation was discussed. The building was located in 4th seismic area in Slovakia (Bratislava). The description of the building, applied load, considered soil-structure interaction, created calculating models, used analysis and obtained results are mentioned here. The conclusions and the photos of defective repairs of real structures are depicted at the end of the paper.

Fixed Base

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.
