Quayside Container Crane

Towards the safety reliability problems of the quayside container crane under earthquake excitations, the anti-seismic reliability analysis has been carried out. Because of hugeness and complexity of the structure, it is absolutely impossible to carry on seismic testing with prototype. Thus, a FEM mechanical model of quayside container crane is presented by using the ANSYS codes. Based on the modal response spectrum method and the time-history analysis theory, the load-carrying performance is investigated under earthquake excitations. The results show that neither the displacement response nor the stress response is large under the earthquake excitation in every direction, which could satisfy seismic design requirements.

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.

Seismic reliability analysis of bridge structures during and succeeding an earthquake event is of significant importance. The more accurate and robust approach of seismic reliability analysis is based on direct Monte Carlo simulation technique. But it is computationally challenging due to the requirement of large number of nonlinear time history analyses. The response surface method–based metamodeling approach is a viable alternative in such situation. This study explores the advantage of moving least squares method–based adaptive response surface method compared to the usually applied least squares method–based response surface method for improved seismic reliability analysis of multi-span bridge pier. The nonlinear time history analyses of the bridge pier are performed in the OpenSees with fibre sections considering a ground motion bin corresponding to the specified hazard level of the bridge site. The seismic reliability analysis results obtained by the usual least squares method and the proposed moving least squares method–based response surface method are compared with that of obtained by more accurate direct Monte Carlo simulation technique to elucidate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

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.

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.

Taniguchi, et al. [1] developed an analytical method for evaluating the absolute maximum elasto-plastic displacements of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) oscillators under the action of base excitation based on a modal combination. Its essence is that 1) modal frequencies, shapes and damping during yielding of any member of the MDOF oscillators are readily specified by the modal analysis with the secondary stiffness of the members being yielded, 2) assuming that a bilinear hysteresis may describe the force-displacement relationship of each mode, an equivalently linearized system consisting of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator is introduced to approximate the absolute maximum elasto-plastic displacement of each mode, 3) the absolute maximum elasto-plastic displacement of the MDOF oscillator is evaluated by the Square Root of Sum of Squares rule (SRSS-rule) by combining the maximum elasto-plastic displacement of each mode approximated by the proposed equivalently linearized system. This study first provides small modification in the equivalently linearized system. Then, employing a couple of MDOF oscillators whose spring at arbitrary storey may yield and an accelerogram, the maximum elasto-plastic displacement of the MDOF oscillator is calculated by the proposed method and is compared with that computed by the time history analysis. Their comparison suggests that the proposed method can reasonably evaluate the absolute maximum elasto-plastic displacement of the MDOF oscillator subjected to earthquake excitation as the conventional SRSS-rule does that for the linear MDOF oscillators.

Teaching Hospital is an educational facilitiy for students in the Faculty of Medicine and also as a health services for the general public. The hospital building must be built in accordance with earthquake-safe building standards, so that buildings are not damaged in an earthquake. Andalas University Hospital was built at Padang in 2014 which was designed using Indonesian Seismic Code SNI 03-1726-2002 with quakes zone 6. Since 2012, a new Seismic Code, SNI 1726-2012, was issued and all the buildings should be designed by using the new code. Therefore, the authors are interested in analyzing the structural response of the hospital building by using new seismic code SNI 1726-2012. The results, then, were compared with the responses of the structure which calculated by using SNI 03-1726-2002.The results of analysis show that the structural responses in the internal forces and displacement by using SNI 1726-2012 was higher than those using SNI 03-1726-2002. In this study, an analysis of potential Pounding was also conducted by using dynamic analysis Time History method. The analytical result shows that there is no pounding between adjacent buildings at Andalas University Hospital Buildings.

Piping Systems

Passive energy dissipating devices, such as elastoplastic dampers (EPDs) can be used for eliminating snubbers and reducing the response of piping systems subjected to seismic loads. Cantilever and three-dimensional piping systems were tested with and without EPD on shaker table. Using a finite element model of the piping systems, linear and nonlinear time-history analysis is carried out using Newmark’s time integration technique. Equivalent linearization technique, such as Caughey method, is used to evaluate the equivalent damping of the piping systems supported on elastoplastic damper. An iterative response spectrum method is used for evaluating response of the piping system using this equivalent damping. The analytical maximum response displacement obtained at the elastoplastic damper support for the two piping systems is compared with experimental values and time history analysis values. It has been concluded that the iterative response spectrum technique using Caughey equivalent damping is simple and results in reasonably acceptable response of the piping systems supported on EPD.

Based on the vertical seismic information, the vertical seismic response spectrum was calculated by Matlab Lsim function. The seismic effect of Kiewitt-Lamella suspended-dome was measured by dynamic to static ratio. According to the EL-Centro seismic wave, it analyzed and compared the dynamic to static ratios which were calculated by the following four vertical seismic calculation methods respectively: the simplified method of specification, the mode-superposition response spectrum methods based on the horizontal earthquake affecting coefficients and the vertical acceleration response spectrum respectively, and the time history analysis method. Analysis shows that: For the seismic effect, the time history analysis method is larger than the other three methods, and the method based on the vertical acceleration response spectrum is closer to the time history analysis method. Owing to large difference of the four methods for seismic effect, various methods should be adopted to ensure the safety of vertical seismic design.
