As is known, base isolation can reduce earthquake energy that transferred from the ground motion to the structure by buffering it with a bearing layer at the foundation which has relatively low horizontal stiffness. The paper investigates the time history records of a two storied symmetrical steel framed isolated building with Elastomeric Rubber Bearing and Friction Pendulum Systems that under the Northridge earthquake, and the isolator parameters are calculated using the design guidelines of International Building Code (IBC2000) within the spirit of IS 1893–2002(7). And then, contrasting of the roof’s displacements, accelerations and base shear values of the steel framed building with and without isolators, and which studied from the Non-linear time history analysis using structural analysis software SAP2000. The results show that base isolation will provide a substitute technology for the conventional, fixed-base design of structures and cost-effective for new buildings in high seismic regions.

In the present paper an investigation is carried out to evaluate the efficiency of Base Isolation device in a building subjected to both seismic and blast induced ground motions. A 5-story building is modelled with different story stiffness and floor masses is considered in this study. In SAP 2000 software two buildings, one with fixed base and the other with isolated base are designed and nonlinear time history analysis is conducted. The structural responses of these two models subjected to four recorded earthquakes and four different blast ground accelerations is compared in this study. The base isolated device such as lead/rubber bearing have proved to be effective in reducing the base Shear and Top story acceleration, and also increase in Hysteresis energy in the base isolated structure subjected to seismic and blast vibrations.

In this present study aims to evaluate the performance of base isolation device under different intensity blast induced ground excitations for an elevated water tank staging. In this study mainly focused to improve the performance of the base isolator and minimize the damage of the structure. To know the performance of base isolator two models are considered one is fixed base model and another one is supported with base isolator model for both non-linear time history analysis is carried out with the help of SAP 2000 software subjected to four different underground blast intensities. From the analysis, it is observed that by using base isolator supported model structural responsive parameters such as base shear, top storey accelerations are efficiently reduced when compared to the fixed base structure. Hence it is proved that adopting base isolation technique we considerably reduce the damage of the structure subjected to underground blast vibrations.

<p>Research on low-damage systems has been significant in the past decade. These systems combine post- tensioning, which provides self-centring; and typically use replaceable devices, which give energy dissipation. WSP has used recent research, carried out at the University of Canterbury, on low-damage bridge piers and applied this into a real structure – the Wigram-Magdala Link Bridge. This is believed to be the first bridge in New Zealand and possibly worldwide to adopt such a system. Given this was the first application of the system to a real structure, there were some valuable learnings during design and construction. Firstly, the application of axial dissipaters has some limitations due to available material sizes, construction difficulty and aesthetics. Secondly, there is still some additional cost and complexity associated with using the low-damage system. Given these difficulties, this paper presents an alternative design philosophy which better captures the benefits of the low-damage system, which include cost-effective repair method, controlled damage and additional robustness and resilience. The alternative design philosophy presented is expected to result in reduced construction costs by reducing pier and foundation demands. Peak displacements and forces will be compared to the results from non-linear time history analysis to verify the performance of the low-damage connection using scaled ground motions. Furthermore, the paper will present the possible application of an alternative dissipation device, the lead extrusion damper, which can further improve the performance of low-damage connections.</p>

<p>In order to overcome stringent seismic requirement in the new Greater Jakarta Light Rail Transit Project, a breakthrough seismic system shall be chosen to obtain expected structural performance. This seismic system shall be designed to provide operational performance level after strong earthquake events. To achieve the criteria, seismic isolation system using Lead Rubber Bearings is chosen. With this isolation system, Greater Jakarta LRT has become the first seismically isolated infrastructure and apparently an infrastructure with the largest numbers of LRBs in one single project in Indonesia. More than 10.400 Pcs LRBs are used for the first phase of the construction and the numbers will be certainly increased in the next phase of the construction. To evaluate the structural performance, non-linear time history analysis is used. A total of 3 pair matched ground motions will be used as the input for the response history analysis. The ability of the lead rubber bearing to isolate and dissipate earthquake actions will determine its structural performance level. This will be represented by the nonlinear hysteretic curves obtained throughout the earthquake actions.</p>

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.

Terdapat cukup banyak perubahan pada SNI 1726-2012, salah satunya adalah adanya persyaratanbatas geser dasar minimum (minimum base shear) yang tidak ada pada peraturan sebelumnya.Metode yang akan dilakukan adalah bangunan gedung dengan klasifikasi ketinggian rendah,sedang dan tinggi akan dianalisis dengan menerapkan geser dasar minimum dan tanpa geser dasarminimum. Analisis yang akan digunakan adalah analisis ragam spektrum respons (ResponsSpectrum Analysis, RSA), analisis respons riwayat waktu (Time History Analysis, THA) dananalisis respons riwayat waktu non linier (Non Linear Time History Analysis, NLTHA). Hasilanalisis menunjukkan bahwa pada peraturan SNI 1726-2012 dengan adanya persyaratan batasangeser dasar minimum dapat menjamin kinerja struktur sesuai dengan yang diharapkan.Kekhawatiran adanya batasan geser dasar minimum pada SNI 1726-2012 akan membuat desainmenjadi tidak ekonomis, ternyata tidak terbukti karena tidak memberikan pengaruh signifikanpada hasil desain, khususnya untuk bangunan dengan kategori ketinggian rendah dan sedang.Untuk bangunan dengan klasifikasi bangunan tinggi, analisis dan desain dengan memperhitungansyarat batasan geser dasar minimum dan tanpa memperhitungkan geser dasar minimum dapatmemberikan hasil desain yang baik, tetapi pengecekan pada Level Kinerja (Performance Level)sesuai dengan story drift menunjukkan bahwa analisis dengan memperhitungkan syarat geser dasarminimum memberikan hasil dengan level kinerja yang cukup baik yaitu Immediate Occupancy(IO) hingga Damage Control (DO), sedangkan tanpa memperhitungkan geser dasar minimummemberikan hasil dengan level kinerja yang kurang baik yaitu Life Safety (LS) hingga StructuralStability (SS). Sedangkan pada level kinerja elemen struktur, analisis tanpa memperhitungkangeser dasar minimum menyebabkan banyak elemen struktur yang berada pada level kinerjaCollapse Prevention (CP).

Due to the fact that safety is the major concern for civil structures in a seismic active zone, it has always been a challenge for structural engineers to protect structures from earthquake. During past several decades base isolation technique has become more and more popular in the field of seismic protection which can be adopted for new structures as well as the retrofit of existing structures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behaviours of the building with different seismic isolation systems in terms of roof acceleration, elastic base shear and inter-storey drift under four benchmark earthquakes, namely, El Centro, Northridge, Hachinohe and Kobe earthquakes. Firstly, the design of base isolation systems, i.e. lead rubber bearing (LRB) and friction pendulum bearing (FPB) for five storey RC building was introduced in detail. The non-linear time history analysis was performed in order to determine the structural responses whereas Bouc-Wen Model of hysteresis was adopted for modelling the bilinear behaviour of the bearings. Both isolation systems increase the fundamental period of structures and reduces the spectral acceleration, and hence reduces the lateral force cause by earthquake in the structures, resulting in significant improvement in building performance; however the Lead Rubber Bearing provided the best reduction in elastic base shear and inter-storey drift (at first floor) for most of the benchmark earthquakes. For the adopted bearing characteristics, FPB provided the low isolator displacement.

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.
