Abstract:

The rotational seismic inputs for building design were discussed. The free ground rotations and the relation between free ground rotations and basement rotations were derived. The results show that the relation depends on the basement size, site and seismic frequency. For most building, the differences between the free ground rotations and the basement rotations are small. The suggestion is that for tall buildings the free ground rotations can be taken as the seismic input, but for low-rise building with large basement, the response spectra in short period region should be reduced.

Abstract:

With the continuous innovation and reform of the construction industry, the research methods of seismic performance of high-rise building structures have changed. The effect of seismic performance affects the quality and safety of high-rise buildings. For another, earthquake disasters threaten people's life and property safety, and also affect building safety. The seismic performance of buildings should be fully considered in the structural design of high-rise buildings, strictly control the key points of seismic design and improve the seismic performance of high-rise building structures. Combined with the content of seismic performance design of high-rise buildings, this paper discusses the problems existing in the design, and puts forward the corresponding solutions.

Abstract:

As a result of failures uncovered after the Northridge earthquake, the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings has become extremely stringent in its design provisions for moment frame structures. Although the changes are justified, they are not necessary for every type of building system. Some structures can be safely designed to resist earthquake forces elastically without concern of structural collapse. Metal buildings are typically lightweight, and small inertia forces from the design earthquake will not usually result in an inelastic response of a system that is properly designed to resist wind forces. In this paper, metal building systems are analyzed using an equivalent lateral force method and a linear time history analysis to show that typical metal building systems will respond elastically to the design earthquake. Specifically, using the International Building Code along with the aforementioned document, it is shown in the following sections that for lightweight metal building structures, adherence to the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings is not required in most cases except for locations on the West Coast and a few regions east of the Rocky Mountains. Elastic design methodology is discussed and design recommendations applicable to metal building systems are provided.

Abstract:

In the preceding article, I reviewed two seismic design codes of the Building Standard Law of Japan, revised in 1981 and 2000, with the transition of Japanese seismic design codes. Having read the 1974 review by Dr. Makoto Watabe, I was most impressed by his comprehensive understanding of seismic structural systems for buildings – an understanding that is fresh even today, more than 3 decades later. He moves from the basic principles for seismic building design to earthquake-resistant properties of building. The general seismic design principles of buildings he has reviewed are very sound and introduced both in current seismic design codes I have reviewed and the seismic design of super high-rise buildings over 60 m high.

Abstract:

In seismic design based on performance, seismic performance level is determined based on failure state of the building and seismic design objective is set according to the importance of the buildings. In many countries, they calculate the seismic reaction of the buildings with the use of structural design programs to check the aseismic performance through the nonlinear static analysis method. In this paper, we established seismic performance levels and aseismic design objective to design on the basis of design objective according to the three levels in Seismic Design Code of Building, DPR Korea, 2010.

Abstract:

While damping devices can provide supplemental damping to mitigate building vibration due to wind or earthquake effects, integrating them into the design is more complex. For example, the Canadian code does not provide building designs with inline friction dampers. The objective of this present article was to study the overstrength, ductility, and response modification factors of concrete frame buildings with inline friction dampers in the Canadian context. For that purpose, a set of four-, eight-, and fourteen-story ductile concrete frames with inline seismic friction dampers, designed based on the 2015 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC), was considered. The analyses included pushover analysis in determining seismic characteristics and dynamic response history analysis using twenty-five ground motion records to assess the seismic performance of the buildings equipped with inline seismic friction dampers. The methodology considered diagonal braces, including different 6 m and 8 m span lengths. The discussion covers the prescribed design values for overstrength, ductility, and response modification factors, as well as the performance assessment of the buildings. The results revealed that increasing the height of the structure and reducing the span length increases the response modification factors.

Abstract:

Aseismic performance is one of the important technical indexes of modern buildings, which has been written into the building codes in various countries. Aseismic structure design is to enhance the stability of the building structure, ensure the safety of the building when the earthquake disaster occurs, reduce the loss and casualties. Since ancient times, innovations have been made in the design of seismic structures worldwide, especially in areas with high earthquake incidence. It was found in the previous research that the calculation method and design of seismic structures in American and Chinese building codes are different. Based on the interest of aseismic design, this paper summarizes the traditional and new aseismic structures. This paper first introduces several commonly used aseismic structures, such as multi-storey masonry, frame and seismic wall construction. Then this paper introduces the characteristics and differences of aseismic structure design in different countries from the modern and ancient time dimensions. In the end, Finally, it is concluded that the seismic structures are different due to the differences of geography, culture and climate in various countries. We can learn from the seismic structure analysis of ancient buildings that Aseismic structure design does not have to resist earthquake, but can reduce the damage of earthquake to the building by reducing the seismic force of the building.

Abstract:

The 2003 International Building Code seismic design procedures do not result in uniform risk throughout the country. A comparison is made between the expected lifetime damage to two identical buildings—one in the western United States and other in the central United States. The seismic design accelerations are the same for these buildings, but the expected lifetime damage is very different. The causes of this difference are discussed in the paper.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses a novel timber-steel core wall system for use in multi-storey buildings in high seismic regions. This hybrid system combines Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels with steel plates and connections to provide the required strength and ductility to core walled buildings. The system is first derived from first principles and validated in SAP2000. In order to assess the feasibility of the system it is implemented in the design of a 7-storey building based off an already built concrete benchmark building. The design is carried out following the equivalent static force procedure (ESFP) outlined by the National Building Code of Canada for Vancouver, BC. To evaluate the design bi-directional nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) is carried out on the building using a set of 10 ground motions based on a conditional mean spectrum. To improve the applicability of the hybrid system an energy based design methodology is proposed to design the timber-core walled building. The methodology is proposed as it does not rely on empirical formulas and force modification factors to determine the final design of the structure. NLTHA is carried out on the proposed methodology using 10 ground motions to evaluate the suitability of the method and the results are discussed and compared to the ESFP results.

Abstract:

<p>In modern projects, performance based seismic design (PBD) procedures are often used to design buildings in areas of high seismic activity that meet defined performance objectives instead of prescriptive building code requirements or have certain features and configurations that are not normally permitted by the building codes. Evaluating buildings with PBD is computationally intensive and time-consuming, resulting in little opportunity for iteration during the design development phase. This paper illustrates how rigorous use of PBD can result in less expensive and more sustainable buildings that meet the intent of building codes with a higher degree of precision than typical code-compliant designs.</p><p>Several examples show the relative cost of a building designed using PBD procedures compared with that of a conventional code-based design. The first example compares a PBD concrete core-only system with a code- based dual system comprising concrete core walls and moment frames. The second example presents direct benefit resulting from PBD, reducing vertical and confining steel reinforcing in concrete wall buildings. The third example shows PBD reducing column and foundation demands in structural steel braced frame buildings. Project stakeholders can use the presented data to evaluate the economic viability of PBD for their structures.</p>

Full text

Abstract:

Irregular building designs present special problems to the structural engineer due to their uneven distributions of mass, stiffness, and strength. Because of these factors, irregular structures may have significantly different dynamic performance than a regular structure, which can lead to unanticipated force concentrations, deflections, and subsequent stresses on building members. Irregular building designs, while often more visually and architecturally interesting, are significantly more challenging to engineer for seismic loads. Discontinuities and irregularities in mass, configuration, and form can create many unwanted and unexpected effects when a structure is subjected to seismic forces. The Uniform Building Code (UBC) 1997 edition has addressed this concern by requiring dynamic analysis of irregular building designs greater than five stories in areas with greater seismic activity (seismic zones 3 and 4). The UBC’s requirement of a dynamic lateral force analysis, along with the requirement of a higher base shear force for irregular building designs (regular buildings are given a 10% base shear reduction bonus when dynamic analysis is performed), has made irregular building designs unattractive to structural engineers. Some structural engineers may question whether the UBC provisions are unnecessarily punitive to irregular building analysis, particularly for smaller buildings. To test this hypothesis, this study compares the results of using much simpler static seismic loading analysis with the results obtained from a dynamic analysis on two steel-frame six-story irregular building designs. The first building is irregular due to a type 3 vertical geometric irregularity (specifically a 3-story tower asymmetrically located above the remaining 3 stories). The second building is irregular due to a plan structural irregularity (a large central courtyard which creates diaphragm discontinuities in the top three stories). Both buildings are considered to be located in seismic zone 4, with a forcing input based on the 1997 UBC figure 16-3 used for the dynamic analysis. This study aims to present the design implications of structural irregularity. It seeks to investigate the differences in the calculated seismic forces, deflections, and stresses due to the two different methods of analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract The collapse behavior of a 22-story steel building during the September 19, 1985 Mexico earthquake is investigated by studying hysteretic behavior, ductility factors of individual structural components, and overall instability of the building. The hysteresis models for truss-type girders, bracing members, and box columns to be used in the inelastic analysis of this building are developed. A series of inelastic analyses have been performed for the building by using the multicomponent seismic input of actual Mexico City earthquake records. It was found that the structural response exceeds the original design ductility of this building because most girders in the building have suffered large ductilities. Due to the load redistribut-ion effects from the ductile-failed girders, local bucklings developed at many columns on floors 2, 3, and 4. Therefore, most columns on floors 2 through 4 lost their load carrying capacities and rigidities which then caused the building to tilt and rotate. As a result, more columns on floors 5 through 7 developed local buckling and more bracing members buckled. It is believed that ductile failures of girders combined with the local bucklings of columns in the lower part of the building resulted in significant story drift, building tilt, P-A effect, and the failure mechanism.

Using a 40-story reinforced concrete (RC) case study building, the comparison among the three most widely used building codes (ACI 318/ASCE 7-10, BS 8110 and EC-2/EC-8) is presented in terms of structural design and seismic performance. The case study building has a dual structural system (moment-resisting frame and shear walls) and is assumed to be located in a highly active seismic region. First, its linear elastic model was created and analysed to perform the code-based design for gravity and seismic loads. The building is designed separately for three codes following their prescribed load combinations, cracked stiffness modifiers and seismic design factors. Then, the detailed performance evaluation of case study building (separately designed for each building code) was carried out using the nonlinear response history analysis (NLRHA) under different input ground motions. Based on obtained results, a comparison of three building codes is presented in terms of the design, seismic performance and economic considerations.</p>

Abstract:

<p>Malaysia is currently in the process of transitioning from non-seismic to seismic design. Existing Malaysian building codes do not require seismic loads to be considered. However, with recent seismic activity in Malaysia and nearby region, Malaysia is spurred into action to consider seismic loads. Seismic design brings with it unique considerations and challenges. This paper will examine the effects of seismic activity on structures and how they can be considered in design. Discussed in this paper are the considerations required for structures complying with Malaysian National Annex (MS EN 1998-1) which includes the response spectrum, modal analysis, modal combination, accidental eccentricity, load combinations and seismic design. Computer methods using the Esteem Structural Software will be presented.</p>

Abstract:

Canada's 6th Generation seismic hazard model is the basis for the seismic design provisions in the 2020 National Building Code of Canada. The 2020 code uses mean ground motions of spectral acceleration at 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 second periods, peak acceleration and peak velocity for a variety of site conditions. Users of the 2020 code access seismic hazard values by using the 2020 National Building Code of Canada Seismic Hazard Tool which provides values for any site located in Canada. The online tool accomplishes this through the interpolation of a pre-calculated dataset. This Open File provides that dataset for users who may wish to access those values directly, and describes the interpolation methods used.
