Abstract:
This research identifies the significant optimal intensity measures (IM) for seismic performance assessments of the fixed offshore jacket platforms. A four-legged jacket platform for the oil and gas operation is deployed to investigate the seismic performance. The jacket platform is applied with nonlinearly modeled using finite element (FE) software OpenSees. A total of 80 ground motions and 21 different IMs are incorporated for numerical analyses. Nonlinear time-history analyses are performed to obtain the jacket structure’s engineering demand parameters (EDP): peak acceleration and displacement at the top of the structure. Four important statistical parameters: practicality, efficiency, proficiency, and coefficient of determination, are then calculated to find the significant IMs for seismic performance of the jacket structure. The results show that acceleration-related IMs: effective design acceleration (EDA), A95 parameter, and peak ground acceleration (PGA) are optimal IMs, and the acceleration-related IMs have good agreements with the acceleration-related EDP.

Abstract:
The present study proposes a new seismic retrofitting method using a concrete-filled tube modular frame (CFT-MF) system, a novel technique to overcome and improve the limitations of existing seismic strengthening methods. This CFT-MF seismic retrofitting method makes the most of the advantages of both concrete and steel pipes, thereby significantly improving constructability and increasing integration between the existing structure and the reinforcement joints. This method falls into the category of typical seismic retrofitting methods that focus on increasing strength, in which the required amount of seismic reinforcement can be easily estimated. Therefore, the method provides an easy solution to improving the strength of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures with non-seismic details that are prone to shear failure. In the present study, a full-size two-story test frame modeled from existing domestic RC structures with non-seismic details was subjected to pseudo-dynamic testing. As a result, the effect of the CFT-MF system, when applied to existing RC structures, was examined and verified, especially as to its seismic retrofitting performance, i.e., restoring force characteristics, stiffness reinforcement, and seismic response control. In addition, based on the pseudo-dynamic testing results, a restoring force characteristics model was proposed to implement non-linear dynamic analysis of a structure retrofitted with the CFT-MF system (i.e., the test frame). Finally, based on the proposed restoring force characteristics, non-linear dynamic analysis was conducted, and the results were compared with those obtained by the pseudo-dynamic tests. The results showed that the RC frame (building) with no retrofitting measures applied underwent shear failure at a seismic intensity of 200 cm/s2, the threshold applied in seismic design in Korea. In contrast, in the frame (building) retrofitted with the CFT-MF system, only minor earthquake damage was observed, and even when the maximum seismic intensity (300 cm/s2) that may occur in Korean was applied, small-scale damage was observed. These results confirmed the validity of the seismic retrofitting method based on the CFT-MF system developed in the present study. The non-linear dynamic analysis and the pseudo-dynamic test showed similar results, with an average deviation of 10% or less in seismic response load and displacement.

Abstract:
Natural disaster cannot be stopped but its effect can be minimized or avoided by adopting technology and necessary human adjustment. Earthquake is a natural event which occurs without early warning signs. Computer based earthquake scenarios are used worldwide to describe and estimate the damage from potential earthquakes. The current study is an attempt to explore potential risk with respect to physical infrastructure and assess modeled and actual physical damage and human loss caused by different earthquake scenario and actual 2015 earthquake event in Thecho of Kathmandu valley. The earthquake scenario is based on two nearest fault lines. Risk Assessment Tools for the Diagnosis of Urban Seismic Risk (RADIUS) method has been applied for estimation of potential building damage and casualties..The research has adopted integrated approach using secondary and primary data sources such as field observation, key informant survey and building survey through purposive random sampling.The study found that potential building damage estimated by RADIUS for Gorkha 2015 earthquake scenario and North-west (Khokana) are lower than the actual post-earthquake assessment whereas North earthquake scenario resulted higher loss. Actual damage caused by 2015 earthquake compared to modeled damage from RADIUS is found higher because additional damaged were made by successive aftershocks. Spatial distribution of potential building damage for earthquake scenarios and actual 2015 earthquake event is also variable. North-Nuwakot Earthquake Scenario resulted more hazardous than the North-Khokana scenario though the location of epicenter is relatively farther with high intensity. The study concluded that though earthquake occurrence and disaster is still less predictable risk assessment tools like RADIUS and mitigation measures based on such is important for reducing risk of earthquake disaster.The Geographical Journal of NepalVol. 11: 127-136, 2018

Abstract:
This is the second of two companion papers on improved intensity measures of strong seismic ground motions for use in probabilistic seismic demand analysis of reinforced concrete frame buildings. The first paper discusses the development of improved intensity measures. This paper describes the application of the developed intensity measures in probabilistic seismic demand analysis. The application is illustrated on the three reinforced concrete frame buildings (4, 10, and 16-storey high) that were used in the first paper. This involved computations of the seismic responses of the structures and the seismic hazard using the improved intensity measures. The response and the hazard results were then combined by means of probabilistic seismic demand analysis to determine the mean annual frequencies of exceeding specified response levels due to future earthquakes (i.e., the probabilistic seismic demands). For the purpose of comparison, probabilistic seismic demand analyses were also conducted by employing the spectral acceleration at the fundamental structural periods (Sa(T1)) as an intensity measure, which is currently the most used in practice. It was found that the use of the improved intensity measures results in significantly lower seismic demands relative to those corresponding to the intensity measure represented by Sa(T1), especially for long period structures.

This is the first of two companion papers on improved intensity measures of strong seismic ground motions for use in probabilistic seismic demand analysis. It describes the formulation and the development of new intensity measures. The second paper illustrates the application of the developed intensity measures in probabilistic seismic demand analysis. The development of the intensity measures was based on investigations of the seismic responses of three reinforced concrete frame buildings (4, 10, and 16-storey high) designed for Vancouver. The buildings were subjected to a selected set of seismic motions scaled to different intensity levels. Maximum interstorey drifts obtained from nonlinear dynamic analyses were used as response parameters. Based on the results from the analyses, two intensity measures are proposed: one for short- and intermediate-period buildings, and another one for long-period buildings. The proposed intensity measures are superior compared to that represented by the spectral acceleration at the fundamental building period (Sa(T1)), which is currently the most widely used intensity measure in probabilistic seismic demand analysis.

Abstract:
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice. Due to the high nonlinearity of the rocking response, the seismic performance of this class of structures should be evaluated probabilistically. From this point of view, in the present study, the performance of 12 novel HHT-based intensity measures (IMs) in describing the seismic behavior of typical rocking viaducts was assessed based on optimal IM selection criteria. To this end, a comparative evaluation of the performance between the proposed and 26 well-known conventional IMs was presented. Moreover, bivariate IMs were also considered, and seismic fragilities were provided. Finally, the classification of the seismic response was conducted using discriminant analysis, resulting in a reliable and rapid estimation of the maximum seismic demand. Based on the results, it is evident that HHT-based IMs result in an enhanced estimation of the seismic performance of the examined structural system.

Abstract:
Une question fondamentale qui surgit dans le cadre de l’analyse probabiliste du risque sismique est le choix des indicateurs de nocivité des signaux sismiques. En plus de réduire la variabilité de la réponse structurelle (ou non structurelle),un indicateur amélioré (i.e. capable de mieux capturer les caractéristiques de nocivité des mouvements sismiques, aussi bien que l’alea sismique) fournit des critères moins stricts pour la sélection des signaux sismiques.Deux nouveaux indicateurs sont proposés dans cette étude: le premier, nommé ASAR (i.e. Relative Average Spectral Acceleration), est conçu pour la prévision de la demande structurelle, le second, nommé E-ASAR (i.e.Equipment Relative Average Spectral Acceleration), vise à prévoir la demande des composants non structuraux. Les performances des indicateurs proposés sont comparées avec celles des indicateurs de la littérature, sur la base de: a)milliers d’enregistrements sismiques ; b) analyses numériques conduites avec des modèles représentants différents types de bâtiments; et c) analyses statistiques rigoureuses des résultats. Selon l'étude comparative, les indicateurs développés s'avèrent être plus “efficaces” que les indicateurs couramment utilisés. D'ailleurs, l’ASAR et l’E-ASAR ont montré au propre la caractéristique de la “suffisance” en ce qui concerne la magnitude, la distance source-site, et le type de sol (VS30). De plus, les deux indicateurs originaux peuvent être calculés simplement avec la connaissance de la fréquence fondamentale du bâtiment. Cette caractéristique rend l’ASAR et l’E-ASAR facilement exploitables dans les études probabilistes d’alea sismique.Par conséquent, en raison de leur efficacité, suffisance, robustesse et formulation simple, l’ASAR et l’E-ASAR peuvent être considérés comme des candidats prometteurs pour la définition de l’alea sismique dans les cadres de l'analyse probabiliste et déterministe du risque sismique
A fundamental issue that arises in the framework of Probabilistic Seismic Risk Analysis is the choice of groundmotion Intensity Measures (IMs). In addition to reducing record-to-record variability, an improved IM (i.e. one able tobetter capture the damaging features of a record, as well as the site hazard) provides criteria for selecting input groundmotions to loosen restrictions.Two new structure-specific IMs are proposed in this study: the first, namely ASAR (i.e. Relative Average SpectralAcceleration), is conceived for Structural demand prediction, the second namely, E-ASAR (i.e. Equipment-RelativeAverage Spectral Acceleration), aims to predict Non-Structural components acceleration demand. The performance ofthe proposed IMs are compared with the ones of current IMs, based on: a) a large dataset of thousands recordedearthquake ground motions; b) numerical analyses conducted with state-of-the-art FE models, representing actualload-bearing walls and frame structures, and validated against experimental tests; and c) systematic statistical analysesof the results. According to the comparative study, the introduced IMs prove to be considerably more “efficient” withrespect to the IMs currently used. Likewise, both ASAR and E-ASAR have shown to own the characteristic of“sufficiency” with respect to magnitude, source-to-site distance and soil-type (Vs30). Furthermore, both the introducedIMs possess the valuable characteristics to need (in order to be computed) merely the knowledge of the building’sfundamental frequency, exactly as it is for the wide-spread spectral acceleration Spa(f1). This key characteristic makesboth ASAR and E-ASAR easily exploitable in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis.Therefore, due to their proven efficiency, sufficiency, robustness and applicable formulation, both ASAR and EASARcan be considered as worthy candidates for defining seismic hazard within the frameworks of both Probabilisticand Deterministic Seismic Risk Analysis

Abstract:
Based on the research of the first generation of Performance-Based Earthquake engineering methodology (PBEE), Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Centre (PEER) has developed the second generation procedure aiming at a more robust methodology of PBEE where the process is broken into several logical elements that can be studied and resolved in a rigorous and consistent manner. Due to the inherent uncertainty properties of earthquake occurrence, e.g. earthquake intensity, ground motion features, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of structures and etc., it allows that the new generation of PBEE methodology should be formalized within a probabilistic basis. To apply this methodology it requires an interactive effort of multi-disciplinary experts, such as geology engineers, seismologist, structural engineers, loss experts and etc. For structural engineers the most interest can be relevant to the selection and estimation of two parameters in PBEE, i.e. Intensity Measures (IM) and Engineering Demand Parameters (EDP), which reflect ground motion hazard and structural response in terms of deformations, accelerations, or other response quantities of the building excited by input ground motions. The EDPs are strongly dependent on the Intensity Measure (IM) used to perform the selection of ground motions. The IM as an intermediate variable connecting seismic analysis and structural analysis plays a very important role for structural engineers. An ideal IM should generally be of efficiency and sufficiency. The efficiency means it yields low dispersion of values of engineering demand parameter (EDP), while the sufficiency implies that EDP predicted with the candidate IM should be only dependent on this IM, not be conditionally dependent on properties of ground motions, like magnitude, source to site distance, fault mechanism etc. Therefore it implies the need of comparison among different intensity measures (IMs), in particular the comparison of dispersion of the EDP in relation to each IM. To this purpose a set of IMs 27 IMs, including those commonly adopted and some modified IMs based on the existed ones, are investigated in order to find optimum IMs for predicting various EDPs. Not only is IMs for predicting the structural response of widely studied fixed base buildings are investigated, but also IMs for predicting structural response of the base-isolated buildings are initiatively studied. 80 ordinary and 59 pulse-like ground motion records are used to run nonlinear dynamic analyses on the 4-storey and 6-storey frame concrete buildings and these buildings equipped with base-isolation system on them. The EDPs considered in this study include the Maximum Inter-storey Drift Ratio (MIDR), the Maximum Roof Drift Ratio (MRDR) and the Maximum Base Displacement (MBD, only for base-isolated buildings). Base on the results from this study some energy-based intensity measures have been shown to be good predictors of both structural and non-structural damage for base-isolated structures. However, they are not usually employed in probabilistic seismic demand analyses because of the lack of reliable Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs). In order to define seismic hazard and thus to calculate demand hazard curves it is essential, in fact, to establish a GMPE for the earthquake intensity. In the light of this need, new GMPEs are proposed here for the energy-based intensity measure, in particular elastic input energy equivalent velocity spectra i.e. VEIa and VEIr. The new GMPE is developed by taking advantage of the more comprehensive NGA database with more completed meta-data compiled in recent years. This prediction equation has a wider magnitude and distance applicable range, considers the effect of soil site by VS30 and fault mechanism, and etc. However when the energy-based IMs are used in the selection and modification of ground motions for structural dynamic analyses, the uniform hazard spectrum derived from their GMPEs only gives the marginal distribution without information of joint occurrence of spectral values at different periods. In fact the uniform hazard spectrum of spectral acceleration is widely demonstrated to cause conservative results. Therefore the correlation of the elastic input energy spectral values at different periods is initiatively evaluated and the analytical predictive equation is also proposed to calculate the correlation of elastic input energy spectral values. Using the correlation their conditional mean spectrum recognized as a more appropriate target spectrum for ground motions selections can be developed. On the other hand this correlation also can be used to calculate the predicted mean value and the dispersion of some integral intensity measures (such as VEIaSI, VEIrSI, MVEIaSI, MVEIrSI), achieving the application of these IMs in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering. Finally, we made a practical Matlab implementation for ground motion selection and modification. Here it is called RELACS (REaL ACcelerogram Selection). The total ground motion database used in RELACS, with more available ground motion records, is composed of three large ground motion database, i.e. NGA (Next Generation Attenuation) database, SISMA (Site of Italian Strong Motion Accelerograms) database, and ESGM (European Strong Ground Motion) Database. The RELACS brings to engineers and researchers more convenience to select ground motion accelerograms, using nowadays widely adopted GMSM methods in terms of not only some commonly used acceleration-based IMs and some other scalar intensity measures but also some energy-based IMs that have been approved good predictors for the response of base-isolated buildings. The RELACS contains two consecutive steps: selection according to the geophysical parameters; and selection according to the elastic response parameters (IMs). The user can easily obtain the acceleration time-history, and the acceleration spectrum, the velocity spectrum and the displacement spectrum of the ground motion record selected using the RELACS.

Abstract:
Hundreds of thousands of earthquakes occur worldwide each year, but most of them go unnoticed. Only a few are very destructive. Most earthquakes have a tectonic origin and happen in well-defined, relatively narrow seismic zones. ‘Seismicity—the restless Earth’ first describes the elastic rebound model that explains how an earthquake occurs. There are two measures of the size of an earthquake: its magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake classified by the Richter scale, while intensity is a qualitative measure based on observed effects using a twelve-part scale. Maps of the locations of earthquake epicentres show that these are concentrated in narrow seismically active zones. Earthquake monitoring and prediction are discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the development of traditional timber-framed masonry techniques as an anti-seismic measure in the course of time and their corresponding seismic effectiveness. Firstly, the evolution of timber framed structures from the Bronze Age to date is presented and the effects on their seismic resistance of the structural changes to which these structures have been subjected since the most ancient construction. It is noted that the appearance of timber in the body of masonry walls in prehistoric Greece after strong seismic events is the first time in the history of mankind that an effort is made to provide a rational method for seismic resistance to buildings. The seismic performance of traditional structures during recent earthquakes is also discussed. A variety of advanced analytical modelling strategies for these buildings is presented, from a detailed micro-model to macro-model procedures. The potential seismic vulnerability of these buildings is investigated using statistical data from recent earthquakes. Empirical fragility curves in terms of PGA, PGV and macroseismic intensity from the 2003 Lefkas earthquake damage data are presented.

A real-time and accurate seismic damage prediction method based on machine-learning is proposed here. 48 intensity measures are used as input to represent the ground motion comprehensively. Besides, the workload of the NLTHA method is replaced by model training/testing and moved to a non-urgent stage to promote efficiency. Case studies with various building cases prove the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Abstract Fragility function that defines the probability of exceedance of a damage state given a ground motion intensity (IM) is an essential ingredient of modern approaches to seismic engineering as the performance-based earthquake engineering methodology. Epistemic as well as aleatory uncertainties associated with seismic loads and structural behavior are usually taken into account to analytically develop such curves. However, structural analyses are time-consuming, requiring generally a high computational effort. Moreover, the conditional probability of failure is usually computed by regression analysis assuming predefined probability functions, like the log-normal distribution, without prior information on the real probability distribution. To overcome these problems, the artificial neural network (ANN) technique is used for the development of structural seismic fragility curves considering record-to-record variability and structural parameter uncertainties. In this respect, the following aspects are addressed in this paper: (a) implementation of an efficient algorithm to select IMs as inputs for ANN, selecting the most relevant ones; (b) derivation of surrogate models by using the ANN technique, c) computation of fragility curves with Monte Carlo Simulations method and verification of the validity. These methods enable the implicit treatment of uncertainty in either or both of ground motion intensity and structural properties without making any prior assumption about the probability function. This methodology is then applied to estimate the probability of failure of a non-structural component (NSC), i.e., vertical tank, located on a typical three-dimensional industrial frame. First, an extensive sensitivity analysis on the ANN input parameters is performed (feature selection), identifying the type and number of seismic intensity measures (amplitude-based, frequency-based, and time-based IM). Then different surrogate models are derived investigating the number of hidden layers and parameters. A multiple stripe analysis is then performed on a nonlinear model of the structure, deriving the set of data for the ANN. Different training and test subsets are used to derive the surrogate model. Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation is performed to derive the fragility curves for the limit state considered. Finally, the risk assessment is obtained, evaluating the mean annual rate of failure of the NSC.

Abstract:
Abstract Reservoir pressure and pore pressure coefficient are the key parameters for evaluating the preservation conditions of low permeability reservoirs and selecting different development processed and measures, as well as important input parameters for predicting ground stress. Due to the influence of unique geological characteristics such as ancient structure, current structure and rapid change of burial depth, the pore pressure in reservoir of the Upper Wuerhe Formation in the 53 east block of Junggar Basin has a large lateral change and is influenced by many factors. The conventional pore pressure prediction methods based on longitudinal wave velocity (such as Eaton method) have poor accuracy. Therefore, according to the geological characteristics of the reservoir in this area, based on the simultaneous inversion of P-wave and S-wave data before seismic stack, combined with the changes in formation lithology and the impact of denudation on pore pressure and pore pressure coefficient, this paper takes P-wave, S-wave, lithology, and denudation into account to predict pore pressure and pressure coefficient. The research results show that: ① the introduction of seismic inversion data improves the prediction accuracy and detail richness on the plane; ② the introduction of the lithology change factor improves the stability of the prediction of pressure coefficient in vertical direction; ③ for the area suffering from strong denudation, the introduction of denudation intensity help better predict the pressure coefficient of low pressure wells near the denudated area. The pressure data from more than 10 actual wells proves that the relative error of the prediction results of this method is less than 5%. It is concluded that the established prediction method has small error and high accuracy, and can be used to provide higher quality data support for the subsequent selection of good reservoirs, well location deployment, horizontal stress parameter prediction.

Abstract:
This paper deals with research on the intensity analysis of universal joint of overhead traveling crane and the damage experiments of miniature universal joint. The Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant suffered damage from the Niigata Chuetsu offing earthquake which occurred on July 16, 2007. The earthquake motion damaged a driving shaft coupling of an overhead traveling crane of the No. 6 nuclear reactor building. The damaged portion was the universal joint. The purpose of this research is to examine the cause of breakage and proposed measures of a universal joint. First, the cause of breakage is examined. Next, the breakage experiment of miniature universal joints (it hereafter calls a test piece) is conducted. Moreover, the analytical models of test piece are created, stress analysis is conducted, and the validity of analytical models is shown by comparing with the experimental result. Seismic response analysis of the building of nuclear power station is conducted, and the response acceleration of overhead traveling crane floor is calculated. The torque working to the universal joint of crane is calculated from the floor response acceleration. Furthermore, the analytical model of the universal joint of overhead traveling crane is created, stress is calculated by the torque and the cause of breakage is checked. One effective method which avoids breakage of the overhead traveling crane under earthquake is proposed.

Abstract:
Liquid storage tanks are vital lifeline structures and have been widely used in industries and nuclear power plants. In performance-based earthquake engineering, the assessment of probabilistic seismic risk of structural components at a site is significantly affected by the choice of ground motion intensity measures (IMs). However, at present there is no specific widely accepted procedure to evaluate the efficiency of IMs used in assessing the seismic performance of steel storage tanks. The study presented herein concerns the probabilistic seismic analysis of anchored above-ground steel storage tanks subjected to several sets of ground motion records. The engineering demand parameters for the analysis are the compressive meridional stress in the tank wall and the sloshing wave height of the liquid free surface. The efficiency and sufficiency of each alternative IM are quantified by results of time history analyses for the structural response and a proper regression analysis. According to the comparative study results, this paper proposes the most efficient and sufficient IMs with respect to the above demand parameters for a portfolio of anchored steel storage tanks.

Abstract:
Abstract Storage tanks represent one of the most critical components in industrial facilities and building plants, when considering the occurrence of seismic events. The release of dangerous materials, due to their collapse, can be a safety issue in terms of both human life and environmental impact. This paper carries out a seismic performance assessment of a liquid-storage tank installed in an industrial steel moment-resisting frame building. The seismic performance is gauged in terms of fragility curves, which are provided for different limit states affecting the liquid-storage tank. Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed using two different modelling approaches: the first explicitly accounts for the tank-structure interaction; the other considers the tank as only modelled as a seismic mass. The results discuss the importance of the modelling assumptions to estimate the seismic demand on liquid-storage tanks and corresponding fragility models for different intensity measures. Absolute acceleration floor response spectra are also analysed in detail, concerning the demand characerization. Finally, the study indicates that the intensity measure adopted for secondary components (i.e. peak floor acceleration) is not necessarily optimal threfeore future developments should produce updated fragility curves for non-structural elements, using better performing intensity measures.

Abstract:
Seismic isolation system can be an effective alternative to protect the NPPs (Nuclear Power Plants) against to the strong seismic events. Therefore, some research activities to adopt the seismic isolation concept to the design of the next generation NPPs have been progressed for last few years in Korea. Nuclear structures, secondary systems and components must remain undamaged during and after the SSE (Safe Shutdown Earthquake) event. The seismic events will cause the high seismic response in the stiff structural systems and extremely high demands of deformation on the safety-related secondary systems like piping components. If seismic isolation devices are installed in nuclear power plant for seismic stability, safety against seismic load of power plant may be improved. But in some equipment, seismic risk may increase because displacement may become greater than before installation of seismic isolation device. Therefore, it is necessary to select the equipment in which seismic risk increases due to increase in displacement by the installation of seismic isolation device, and perform a research on seismic performance evaluation of equipment. In this study, one of the typical Korean NPPs assuming the application of seismic isolation devices, and one of the interface piping systems which introduced this NPP was used for seismic analysis. The numerical models include representations of seismic isolation devices. In order to validation of numerical piping system model and defining failure mode & limit states, quasi-static loading tests were conducted on the scale-modeled piping components before the analysis procedures. The fragility analysis was performed by using results of inelastic seismic response analysis. Inelastic seismic response analysis was carried out by using shell finite element model of piping system considering internal pressure. The implicit method was used for the direct integration time history analysis. Generally, PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) was used for seismic intensity of fragility curve. However, in the case of the displacement sensitive system, lateral displacement could be an useful alternative measure for estimation of probability of failure. Thus in this paper, fragility curves were plotted based on maximum relative displacement.
