Book Synopsis An Impulse and Earthquake Energy Balance Approach in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics by : Izuru Takewaki
Download or read book An Impulse and Earthquake Energy Balance Approach in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics written by Izuru Takewaki and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems in nonlinear structural dynamics and critical excitation with elastic-plastic structures are typically addressed using time-history response analysis, which requires multiple repetitions and advanced computing. This alternative approach transforms ground motion into impulses and takes an energy balance approach. This book is accessible to undergraduates, being based on the energy balance law and the concepts of kinetic and strain energies, and it can be used by practitioners for building and structural design. This presentation starts with simple models that explain the essential features and extends in a step-by-step manner to more complicated models and phenomena.
Book Synopsis Performance of Innovative Controlled Buildings Under Resonant and Critical Earthquake Ground Motions by : Izuru Takewaki
Download or read book Performance of Innovative Controlled Buildings Under Resonant and Critical Earthquake Ground Motions written by Izuru Takewaki and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook is the fourth in a series of books on the critical earthquake response of elastic or elastic-plastic structures under near-fault or long-duration ground motions, and includes six original research papers which were published in the specialty section Earthquake Engineering in ‘Frontiers in Built Environment’. Several extensions of the first eBook, the second eBook and the third eBook are included here. The first article is on the comparison of earthquake resilience of various building structures including innovative base-isolation systems and control systems. Pulse-type ground motions and resonant harmonic ground motions are used for investigating the earthquake resilience of those innovative building structures. The second article is concerned with the performance of an innovative seismic response controlled system with shear walls and concentrated dampers in lower stories. The resonant one-cycle sine waves and resonant harmonic waves are used as the input ground motions. The third article is related to the robustness evaluation of a base-isolation building-connection hybrid controlled building structure under the critical long-period and long-duration ground motion. The multi impulse is used as a substitute for a long-period and long-duration ground motion and the model reduction to a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system is conducted to propose a simple response evaluation method. The fourth article is an extension of the previously proposed energy balance approach to a damped bilinear hysteretic SDOF system under a double impulse as a substitute for a near-fault ground motion. The energy absorption through viscous damping is incorporated appropriately in the energy balance and the application of the proposed method to actual recorded ground motions is presented. The fifth article is on the robustness evaluation of base-isolation building-connection hybrid controlled building structures considering uncertainties in deep ground. The earthquake ground motion amplitude at the earthquake bedrock is evaluated by the Boore’s stochastic method in 1983 including the fault rupture and the wave propagation into the earthquake bedrock. Then the phase angle property at the earthquake bedrock is investigated by introducing the concept of phase difference which is defined for each earthquake type. A wave at the ground surface nearly resonant to the base-isolation building-connection hybrid controlled building structure is produced by considering uncertainties in deep ground. The sixth article is concerned with the critical response of nonlinear base-isolated buildings considering soil-structure interaction under a double impulse as a substitute for a near-fault ground motion. The complicated model of a nonlinear base-isolated building on ground is modeled into an SDOF system after a few model reduction processes. The approach presented in this eBook, together with the previous eBooks, is an epoch-making accomplishment to open the door for simpler and deeper understanding of structural reliability and resilience of built environments in the elastic-plastic and nonlinear range.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Dynamics of Structures and Earthquake Engineering by : Gian Paolo Cimellaro
Download or read book Introduction to Dynamics of Structures and Earthquake Engineering written by Gian Paolo Cimellaro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an elementary but comprehensive textbook which provides the latest updates in the fields of Earthquake Engineering, Dynamics of Structures, Seismology and Seismic Design, introducing relevant new topics to the fields such as the Neodeterministic method. Its main purpose is to illustrate the application of energy methods and the analysis in the frequency domain with the corresponding visualization in the Gauss-Argant plan. However, emphasis is also given to the applications of numerical methods for the solution of the equation of motion and to the ground motion selection to be used in time history analysis of structures. As supplementary materials, this book provides “OPENSIGNAL", a rare and unique software for ground motion selection and processing that can be used by professionals to select the correct earthquake records that would run in the nonlinear analysis. The book contains clear illustrations and figures to describe the subject in an intuitive way. It uses simple language and terminology and the math is limited only to cases where it is essential to understand the physical meaning of the system. Therefore, it is suitable also for those readers who approach these subjects for the first time and who only have a basic understanding of mathematics (linear algebra) and static analysis of structures.

Book Synopsis Effects of Near-fault Translational and Torsional Ground Motions on Dynamic Response of Single-story Buildings by : Negar Moharrami Gargari
Download or read book Effects of Near-fault Translational and Torsional Ground Motions on Dynamic Response of Single-story Buildings written by Negar Moharrami Gargari and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rotational components of ground motions, torsion about the vertical axis and rocking about the horizontal axes, have caused significant damage to engineering structures and failures to bridges. Several analytical and experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of these components on structures. Rotational components of ground motions cannot be measured directly and have been measured by rotational sensors only for explosions and by strong motion arrays only for far-field seismic events. Therefore, in the absence of near-fault records of differential ground motions, the characterization, parameterization, modeling and simulation of strain, rocking, and torsional ground motions in the vicinity of the fault, as well as the systematic investigation of their effects on the dynamic response of engineering structures becomes an important issue. In this study, the dynamic ground deformations generated by Mavroeidis and Papageorgiou (2010a) for two well-documented seismic events (i.e. 1979 Imperial Valley and 1999 Izmit earthquakes) based on the discrete wavenumber representation method (Bouchon and Aki, 1977; Bouchon, 1979a) are utilized to obtain torsional and rocking ground motions and their associated distributions on the gridded region in the vicinity of each earthquake. These synthetic ground deformations are used in this study to investigate the effect of the biaxial action of recorded translational ground motions and synthetic torsional ground motions on the response of symmetric and asymmetric structures. In the current seismic deign codes and standards, this torsional ground motion accounts by the shifting of the center of mass to produce the desired results. In order to investigate the effects of torsional motions on the structural responses, a software has been developed to study the linear and nonlinear response of buildings under biaxial and torsional seismic ground excitation. The program is able to perform nonlinear time history analysis based on the force- and displacement-based formulation methods developed by Spacone (1992). The biaxial and uniaxial Smooth Hysteresis Models developed Simeonov et al. (2000) are employed to model the hysteresis behavior of elements in the context of the moment-curvature relationship. The uniaxial and biaxial smooth hysteresis behaviors of the material, similar to the widely used Bouc-Wen model are employed in this research. Various numerical approaches such as the implicit Runge-Kutta, Newton-Raphson and Newmark methods are used to solve the differential equations that govern the dynamic response of the system. Finally, parametric linear and nonlinear analyses are performed for a series of symmetric and asymmetric single-story buildings to investigate the influence of the natural and accidental torsional eccentricity on the response of structures. The structural models are subjected to bidirectional recorded translational motions and synthetic low-frequency angular accelerations from the 1979 Imperial Valley and 1999 Izmit earthquakes. In order to examine the response of structures subjected to synthetic torsional motions containing high-frequency components, the bidirectional translational records from the 1986 Taiwan earthquake at FAT-1 station and the associated synthetic torsional motion, generated by the Surface Distribution Method, are also used to conduct parametric nonlinear analysis. The equivalent accidental eccentricity is developed through the mathematical formula for structures subjected to the combination of the bidirectional translational motions and torsional ground motions. The torsional amplifications developed in structures either by accidental torsion or by synthetic ground differential deformations are not significant for the lower periods. The nonlinear behavior of the structure imposed by strength eccentricity is also explored, while the results are displayed in the biaxial Base Shear and Torque (BST) Surface, inferred for the possible collapse mechanisms regardless of the analysis results.
