Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic qualification of secondary systems such as piping is performed using the response spectrum method. Structural responses evaluated using response spectrum method are used for checking the design equations specified by the ASME Section III Boiler and Pressure Vessel (ASME BPV) Code. This dissertation addresses the topics of combining modal responses in response spectrum method and the reliability associated with the ASME design equations. In the method for combining modal responses, the validity of the existing expressions for rigid response coefficient is evaluated for the case of floor motions which represents earthquake input to the secondary systems. A closed-form formulation is proposed for the rigid response coefficient and is verified using time history analysis for both the cases of ground and floor motions. The closed-form expression is then extended to response spectrum method by developing a simplified procedure for evaluating relative Fourier amplitudes of few significant pulses from the floor response spectrum. In the reliability-based design of piping systems using ASME BPV code design equations, performance functions are formulated to characterize the different failure modes in a straight pipe segment. These performance functions are then used to determine the implicit reliability levels associated with the design equations in ASME-BPV code. This calibration of the existing design equations is intended to provide an input for future studies related to the development of Load and Resistance Factor (LRFD) design equations which require an estimate of implicit reliability levels in existing equations in order to establish the target reliabilities.

This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing demand on improving the resiliency of modern structures and infrastructure requires ever more critical and complex designs. Therefore, the need for accurate and efficient approaches to assess uncertainties in loads, geometry, material properties, manufacturing processes, and operational environments has increased significantly.

Reliability-Based Analysis and Design of Structures and Infrastructure presents an overview of the methods of classical reliability analysis and design most associated with structural reliability. It also introduces more modern methods and advancements, and emphasizes the most useful methods and techniques used in reliability and risk studies, while elaborating their practical applications and limitations rather than detailed derivations. Features: Provides a practical and comprehensive overview of reliability and risk analysis and design techniques. Introduces resilient and smart structures/infrastructure that will lead to more reliable and sustainable societies. Considers loss elimination, risk management and life-cycle asset management as related to infrastructure projects.

Book Synopsis Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering: Formulations and Applications by : Plevris, Vagelis
Download or read book Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering: Formulations and Applications written by Plevris, Vagelis and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the past few years, there has been extensive research done on structural design in terms of optimization methods or problem formulation. But, much of this attention has been on the linear elastic structural behavior, under static loading condition. Such a focus has left researchers scratching their heads as it has led to vulnerable structural configurations. What researchers have left out of the equation is the element of seismic loading. It is essential for researchers to take this into account in order to develop earthquake resistant real-world structures. Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering: Formulations and Applications focuses on the research around earthquake engineering, in particular, the field of implementation of optimization algorithms in earthquake engineering problems. Topics discussed within this book include, but are not limited to, simulation issues for the accurate prediction of the seismic response of structures, design optimization procedures, soft computing applications, and other important advancements in seismic analysis and design where optimization algorithms can be implemented. Readers will discover that this book provides relevant theoretical frameworks in order to enhance their learning on earthquake engineering as it deals with the latest research findings and their practical implementations, as well as new formulations and solutions.

Book Synopsis Method of Reliability-based Calibration of Seismic Structural Design Parameters by : Sang Whan Han
Download or read book Method of Reliability-based Calibration of Seismic Structural Design Parameters written by Sang Whan Han and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural design under seismic load requires proper consideration of uncertainties associated with loads and resistance as well as the limited ability of analytical models to describe the response of a structure. To account for these uncertainties, the design parameters in current seismic codes need to be calibrated based on required safety and satisfactory performance under future earthquakes in terms of reliability. The calibration is done by minimization of the difference between actual and target probabilities for both serviceability and ultimate limit states. The Response Surface Method (RSM) with a central composite design is used to expedite the calibration process. Since information is required on the actual probabilities of exceeding various limit state conditions for various structural configurations which typically requires a large number of nonlinear time history structural response analyses, an Equivalent Nonlinear System (ENS) is used to replace the MDOF analytical model. The ENS retains the important properties of the original system, i.e., the dynamic characteristics of the first two modes, the global yield displacement and post-yielding behavior of the structure. Response scaling factors based on extensive regression analyses of structures of up to 12 stories under historical earthquakes are then applied to the responses calculated using the ENS in order to obtain responses comparable to the original structure. Numerical examples on the calibration are given, and parametric studies are carried out to show the dependence of the structural design parameters on the target reliabilities for both serviceability and ultimate limit states. The computational advantage and the accuracy of the proposed methods are also shown.
