Earthquake-Induced Structural Pounding by Robert Jankowski,Sayed Mahmoud Pdf

This books analyzes different approaches to modeling earthquake-induced structural pounding and shows the results of the studies on collisions between buildings and between bridge segments during ground motions. Aspects related to the mitigation of pounding effects as well as the design of structures prone to pounding are also discussed. Earthquake-induced structural pounding between insufficiently separated buildings, and between bridge segments, has been repeatedly observed during ground motions. The reports after earthquakes indicate that it may result in limited local damage in the case of moderate seismic events, or in considerable destruction or even the collapse of colliding structures during severe ground motions. Pounding in buildings is usually caused by the differences in dynamic properties between structures, which make them vibrate out-of-phase under seismic excitation. In contrast, in the case of longer bridge structures, it is more often the seismic wave propagation effect that induces collisions between superstructure segments during earthquakes.

Vulnerability and Risk Analyzes of Structures Subjected to Earthquake-induced Building Pounding with a Non-smooth Contact Dynamics Method by Thomas Langlade Pdf

Earthquake-induced building pounding is a solicitation whose consequences are difficult to quantify, both experimentally and numerically, due to a large number of parameters involved and the multiple possible configurations (non-exhaustive, modal behavior of structures, location of impact, elastic or inelastic behavior, separation distance, etc.). An important part of the literature and engineering methods focuses on the parameterization of Kelvin-Voigt type contact-impact models. Although giving satisfactory results, these models use two to three parameters whose calibration is subject to discussion. Moreover, the concept of risk analysis based on structural performance has been developed in this framework of clash only in the 2000s. The objective of the present work is to link and contribute these two aspects, the treatment of contact and the associated risk analysis. To the best of the author's knowledge, the use of the NSCD (Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics) method is rare in the field of civil engineering, more specifically in inter-building clashing. This approach is numerically unconditionally stable (so large time steps can be chosen) and uses only one scalar parameter called restitution coefficient, representing the energy loss of the system during contact. An experimental/numerical comparison allows validating the use of the NSCD in the following framework: two adjacent structures, elastic, of the same height whose respective slabs can come into contact. Still in this framework, the NSCD is then used to study the efficiency and sufficiency of intensity indicators, parameters inherent to any seismic risk analysis. The indicator with the best predictive capabilities and independence is selected. It is then used in incremental (IDA) and spectral (CSS) hazard analyses to observe the effects of pounding, either beneficial or detrimental depending on the structural parameter observed, on linear and non-linear structures.

Earthquake Resistant Buildings by M.Y.H. Bangash Pdf

This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it examines not only the resistance to lateral forces but also analyses the disastrous influence of vertical components. The work is written for Practicing Civil, Structural, and Mechanical Engineers, Seismologists and Geoscientists. It serves as a knowledge source for graduate students and their instructors.

Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures III by Dietlinde Köber,Mario De Stefano,Zbigniew Zembaty Pdf

This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge on problems of the effects of structural irregularities on their seismic response. It also covers specific spatial and rotational seismic loads on these structures. Rapid progress in respective research on irregular structures and unconventional seismic loads requires prompt updates of the state of the art in this area. These problems are of particular interest to both researchers and practitioners because these are non-conservative effects compared with the approach of the traditional seismic design (e.g. Eurocode 8, Uniform Building Code etc.). This book will be of particular interest to researchers, PhD students and engineers dealing with design of structures under seismic excitations.

Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures II by Zbigniew Zembaty,Mario De Stefano Pdf

Irregular engineering structures are subjected to complicated additional loads which are often beyond conventional design models developed for traditional, simplified plane models. This book covers detailed research and recent progress in seismic engineering dealing with seismic behaviour of irregular and set-back engineering structures. Experimental results as well as special topics of modern design are discussed in detail. In addition, recent progress in seismology, wave propagation and seismic engineering, which provides novel, modern modelling of complex seismic loads, is reported. Particular emphasis is placed on the newly developed rotational, seismic ground-motion effects. This book is a continuation of an earlier monograph which appeared in the same Springer series in 2013 (http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789400753761).

This book provides senior undergraduate students, master students and structural engineers who do not have a background in the field with core knowledge of structural earthquake engineering that will be invaluable in their professional lives. The basics of seismotectonics, including the causes, magnitude, and intensity of earthquakes, are first explained. Then the book introduces basic elements of seismic hazard analysis and presents the concept of a seismic hazard map for use in seismic design. Subsequent chapters cover key aspects of the response analysis of simple systems and building structures to earthquake ground motions, design spectrum, the adoption of seismic analysis procedures in seismic design codes, seismic design principles and seismic design of reinforced concrete structures. Helpful worked examples on seismic analysis of linear, nonlinear and base isolated buildings, earthquake-resistant design of frame and frame-shear wall systems are included, most of which can be solved using a hand calculator.
