As to improve bridges’ seismic performance, horizontal earthquake was isolated at the bottom of piers. With one pier system as the object of study, adopting nonlinear time history analysis analyzed the un-isolation system, the traditional isolation system and the new isolation system’s seismic performance especially when the actual earthquake was different from the design earthquake, in which the new isolation system was based on rolling balls. Results shows, as for the new isolation system, the internal force is independent of earthquake accelerations and earthquake periods, therefore, sympathetic vibration will not exist, and the internal force is always too small to destroy the system.

Strength Variability

Influence of strength variability of braces on the weak shear type concentrically-braced steel frames is studied by pushover and nonlinear time history analysis method, which leads to a conclusion that the overstrength of brace has obviously detrimental influence on the seismic performance of the structure, induces stronger seismic reaction and higher seismic risk. Another valuable discovery is that after the area of the braces of weak shear type centrically-braced steel frames are determined according to the requirement of current codes, the designer can intentionally specify the structural steel of comparatively low strength (for example, the 2nd group in the paper taking 70% strength of steel Q235) for the brace, which can provide the structure more excellent seismic performance.

Larger displacement and inter-force response of the structure will be produced when self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge in longitudinal earthquake. For the isolation system of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge, whose main tower is set the lead core rubber isolation bearing. This essay does the nonlinear time history analysis under the longitudinal earthquake about the isolation system when the viscous damper is put in different location. Analysis results show that inter-force and displacement of control section and control node are reduced greatly in hybrid vibration control. The result is obvious when the viscous damper is set both in the main tower, the side block and only in the main tower.

This paper presents the evaluation of seismic performance and cost-effectiveness of a multiple slim-type damper system developed for the vibration control of earthquake excited buildings. The multiple slim-type damper (MSD) that consists of several small slim-type dampers and linkage units can control damping capacity easily by changing the number of small dampers. To evaluate the performance of the MSD, dynamic loading tests are performed with three slim-type dampers manufactured at a real scale. Numerical simulations are also carried out by nonlinear time history analysis with a ten-story earthquake excited building structure. The seismic performance and cost-effectiveness of the MSD system are investigated according to the various installation configurations of the MSD system. From the results of numerical simulation and cost-effectiveness evaluation, it is shown that combinations of the MSD systems can effectively improve the seismic performance of earthquake excited building structures.

Due to its unique advantages, the steel-concrete hybrid structure has been widely used in tall buildings around the world. In Mainland China it has been utilized as one of the most popular structural types for super tall buildings. In this study the seismic performance of a code-exceeding tall building with the hybrid frame-tube structure to be constructed in Beijing is evaluated by numerical analysis. The analytic model of the structure is established with the aid of PERFORM-3D program, and the nonlinear time history analysis is performed by inputting four sets of earthquake ground motions. The elastic dynamic characteristics, the global displacement responses, the performance levels and the deformation demand-to-capacity ratios of structural components under different levels of earthquakes are presented. Numerical analysis results indicate that the hybrid structure has good seismic performance.

Seismic Hazard Map

The recent seismic code SNI 1726-2012 is significantly different compared to the older code SNI 1726-2002. The seismic hazard map was significantly changed and the level of maximum considered earthquake was significantly increased. Therefore, buildings designed according to outdated code may not resist the higher demand required by newer code. In this study, seismic performance of Hotel X in Kupang, Indonesia which was designed based on SNI-1726-2002 is investigated. The structure was analyzed using Nonlinear Time History Analysis. The seismic load used was a spectrum consistent ground acceleration generated from El-Centro 18 May 1940 North-South component in accordance to SNI 1726-2012. The results show that Hotel X can resist maximum considered earthquake required by SNI 1726-2012. The maximum drift ratio is 0.81% which is lower than the limit set by FEMA 356-2000 (2%). Plastic hinge damage level is also lower than the allowance in ACMC 2001.

The existing practice to estimate seismic performance of a regular building is to carry out nonlinear time history analysis using two-dimensional models subjected to unidirectional excitations, even though the multiple components of ground motion can affect the seismic response, significantly. During seismic shaking, columns are invariably subjected to bending in two orthogonal vertical planes, which leads to a complex interaction of axial force with the biaxial bending moments. This article compares the seismic performance of regular and symmetric RC moment frame buildings for unidirectional and bidirectional ground motions. The buildings are designed and detailed according to the Indian codes, which are at par with the other modern seismic codes. A fiber-hinge model, duly calibrated with the biaxial experimental results, is utilized to simulate the inelastic behavior of columns under bidirectional bending. A comparison of the estimated seismic collapse capacity is presented, illustrating the importance of considering the bidirectional effects. The results from fragility analysis indicate that the failure probabilities of buildings under the bidirectional excitation are significantly higher as compared to those obtained under the unidirectional excitation.

Nonlinear Time History

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.
