Fundamental study on seismic response of escalator (Seismic response analysis using SDOF escalator model)

Study on the Contrast between Two Seismic Response Analysis Programs of Soil Layer

56 ground motions of the bedrock and surface are selected from 28 stiff sites ( site class I and site classⅡ) of the KiK-net station．The peak acceleration, response spectra and shear strain of actual hard sites are calculated by using SHAKE2000 and LSSRLI-1. The similarities and differences between SHAKE2000 and LSSRLI-1 and their differences from measured records are analyzed. It provides a ba...

Comparison of Four Numerical Methods for Calculating Seismic Dynamic Response of Sdof System

The main characteristics of the numerical methods for dynamic response analysis of single degree of freedom (SDOF) system in both frequency-domain and time-domain are briefly reviewed in this paper. Based on the uniform recursive formula, four methods (Central difference method, Newmark’s method, Ztransform method and Duhamel’s step integral method) are systematically studied. The advantages, d...

The Effect of Soil Type on Seismic Response of Tall Telecommunication Towers with Random Vibration Analysis

Random vibration analysis of tall structures faces multiple problems due to the large number of elements and high degrees of freedom; that is why this type of analysis is mostly used in simple structures and low degrees of freedom. In the past two decades, changes have been occurred in this type of analysis to be used in complex structures and the large number of elements. Pseudo-Excitation Met...

Seismic Response Control Using Base Isolation Strategy

Earthquakes are one of the natural hazards that occur due to sudden violent movement of earth’s surface which releases energy and has destructive power in many parts of the world. The development of recent technologies for the control of seismic hazards catches the attention of structural engineers to make the structures seismically resistant. The seismic base isolation technique is a passive p...
