Larger displacement and inter-force response of the structure will be produced when self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge in longitudinal earthquake. The optimized layout of viscous damper is done for self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge with the lead rubber bearings in the main tower, moreover, the nonlinear time-history analysis in the longitudinal seismic input be made. Comparing the analysis results above between the scheme with viscous damper and the scheme without isolation measures, analysis results show that inter-force and displacement of control section and control node are reduced greatly in hybrid vibration control.

This paper studies the parameter effect of side retainers on seismic response of bridges with flexible rubber bearings. The pounding effect between girder and side retainers is analyzed by the nonlinear time-history analysis. The pounding and sliding of bearings are simulated by the nonlinear contact elements. Comparative analysis of seismic performance of bridge with/without retainers is carried out. Furthermore, the seismic performances of ordinary retainers and new retainers are compared. Finally, the effect of side retainer parameters on seismic response of bridge is analyzed. The results indicate that the sliding of elastomeric pad bearing should be considered in seismic design. It is shown that the retainers can effectively restrain the relative displacement between girder and piers, and the new type of retainers can greatly reduce the pounding force. It is also proved that both stiffness and gap of the retainer have significant influences on the pounding force.

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 Therefore, buildings designed according to outdated code may not resist the higher demand required by newer code.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.

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.

Regional seismic damage simulation of buildings provides decision-makers with important information for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. Utilizing nonlinear time history analysis using multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for buildings, and the next-generation performance-based earthquake engineering, an open-source general-purpose scientific workflow for seismic damage simulation and loss prediction of urban buildings (referred to as SimCenter Workflow) is presented in this study. To introduce the SimCenter Workflow process in detail and demonstrate its advantages, a seismic damage simulation and loss prediction for 1.8 million buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area were performed using the SimCenter Workflow. The open nature and modularization of the SimCenter Workflow facilitate its extensibility and make it practical for researchers to apply to seismic damage simulations in other regions.

In order to analyze seismic response of the curved ramp bridge, this paper selected a single curved ramp bridge in a multilevel junction system as its research object. Considering the piers, beams, bearings and expansion joints simulation, it respectively built the calculating models for a curved ramp bridge and a corresponding linear one. Using nonlinear time history analysis, the paper contrasts seismic response of the curved ramp bridge with that of the linear one in several different seismic inputs. Finally the seismic response characteristic of a curved ramp bridge is put forward.
