AbstractCoastal highway bridges are usually supported by pile foundations that are submerged in water and embedded into saturated soils. Such sites have been reported susceptible to scour hazard and probably liquefied under strong earthquakes. Existing studies on seismic response analyses of such bridges often ignore the influence of water-induced hydrodynamic effect. This study assesses quantitative impacts of the hydrodynamic effect on seismic responses of coastal highway bridges under scour and liquefaction potential in a probabilistic manner. A coupled soil-bridge finite element model that represents typical coastal highway bridges is excited by two sets of ground motion records that represent two seismic design levels (i.e., low versus high in terms of 10%-50 years versus 2%-50 years). Modeled by the added mass method, the hydrodynamic effect on responses of bridge key components including the bearing deformation, column curvature, and pile curvature is systematically quantified for scenarios with and without liquefaction across different scour depths. It is found that the influence of hydrodynamic effect becomes more noticeable with the increase of scour depths. Nevertheless, it has minor influence on the bearing deformation and column curvature (i.e., percentage changes of the responses are within 5%), regardless of the liquefiable or nonliquefiable scenario under the low or high seismic design level. As for the pile curvature, the hydrodynamic effect under the low seismic design level may remarkably increase the response by as large as 15%–20%, whereas under the high seismic design level, it has ignorable influence on the pile curvature.

Rigid Pile Composite Foundation

Compacted soil-cement pile possess the excellences both flexible pile and rigid pile. The composite foundation of compacted soil-cement pile are getting more and more applicable to construction． However, the research on their response under dynamic load, especially under earthquake load，is quite limited．Now the seismic response analysis in time domain is performed with finite element method(ABAQUS).Some parameters influencing the anti-seismic behavior of half-rigid pile composite foundation are studied． Based on these research , some conclusions which may be of some value for anti-seismic design of this type of composite foundations are drawn．

Considering core thickness is important issue to performance of exterior frame and core hybrid structure in high-rise buildings, seismic response analysis is conducted by response spectrum method for finite element models with different core thickness. The optimization design of core thickness of hybrid Structures on the basis of the seismic response is studied, the core thicknesses are chosen as design variables, the objective function about core volume is adopted, some specification requirements such as deformation, the ratio of lateral stiffness to gravity, storey shear to gravity, storey shear of exterior frame, axial compression ratio of column and wall limb, bearing capacity of structural member and core construction are regarded as restricting conditions, the optimal mathematical model is established for reflecting integrity dynamic properties of hybrid structure. The ANSYS software is used for optimizing tool, the hybrid structures optimization design are made through different initial values for verifying convergence of optimization method, the optimal result show that the performances of hybrid structure are improved, the internal forces are reduced and the ratios of inner force born by exterior frames are increased in the optimal scheme.

In Japan, the seismic design methods for structures are developed in the civil and architectural fields. And these seismic design technologies have also been brought to mechanical structures such as piping facilities and boiler structures, etc.. But, for the geometric time varying structure of which geometric configuration is dependent on time such as cranes, the kinetic and the dynamic characteristics of such structures are not fully considered in the seismic response analyses. In this paper, we try the modeling of the geometric time varying structure systems by means of the method of multibody dynamics. And we examine the effect of the geometric time varying system on the seismic response. The beam elements formulated by the absolute nodal coordinate are used to model the structure that has large displacement motion of the base of the structure. The crane structure for the building construction is modeled in the numerical example. The seismic responses of the moving boom part of the crane model are simulated. New phenomenon has been explored.

Anomalistic architecture especially overhanging structure has become a trend of architectural development, Based on the characteristics of a large vertical eccentric, more prominent facade and strong reverse effect,overhanging structure is often serious super-norm and extremely detrimental to the seismic design[1], Now it has become an important part of seismic review. By the analysis and comparison on the coupling of the translational and torsional seismic response from ANSYS program[2]. The behavior of seismic catastrophe of cantilever building structure is studied under bi-directional earthquake action and the change law of cantilever member with the length is obtained, the suggestions on engineering design are put forward for future seismic design of such structures.

Floor Response Spectra

The piping in a nuclear power plant is laid across multiple floors of a single building or two buildings, which are supported at many points. As the piping is excited by multiple-inputs from the supporting points during an earthquake, seismic response analysis by multiple excitations is needed to obtain the exact seismic response of the piping. However, few experiments involving such multiple excitation have been performed to verify the validity of multiple excitation analysis. Therefore, analysis of the seismic design of piping in Japan is performed by the enveloped Floor Response Spectrum (FRS), which covers all floor response spectra at all supporting points. The piping response estimated by enveloped FRS is conservative in most cases compared with the actual seismic response by multiple excitations. To perform rational seismic design and evaluation, it is important to investigate the seismic response by multiple excitations and to verify the validity of the analytical method by multiple excitation test. This paper reports the validation results of the multiple-excitation analysis of piping compared with the results of the multiple excitations shaking test using triple uni-axial shaking table and a 3-dimensional piping model (89.1mm diameter and 5.5mm thickness). Three directional moments from the analysis and the shaking test were compared on the validation. As the result, it is confirmed that the analysis by multiple time history excitation corresponds with the test result.
