Moving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
متن کاملTransient Response Analysis of a Submerged Floating Tunnel under Seismic and Wave Excitations
In this study, a numerical procedure is described for the transient response analysis of a submerged floating tunnel with reference of a designed tunnel in Japan. Tension legs seizing the tunnel are simply modeled by a spring elements and the tunnel itself is assumed by two rigid bodies between which a flexible joint is used. A recorded seismic excitation is used while the wave load is calculat...
متن کاملDynamic Response of Submerged Vertical Cylinder with Lumped Mass under Seismic Excitation
An analytical approach is presented to assess the response of offshore structures under seismic excitation. This paper evaluates the impacts of different fluid field models and the mass of equipment at the top of offshore structure which is simulated as lumped mass on the responses of offshore structures. To do this, two and three dimensional fluid field models are developed. In three dimension...
متن کاملSpatial Seismic Excitations and Response Spectra
Formal extensions of the response spectrum method to include spatial seismic effects are reviewed. Two approaches are described in detail: the first based on random vibrations of a simple oscillator under two-component excitations, and the second analyzing multi-column building seismic response. The subjective choice of these two complementing approaches aims at analyzing the phenomenon of spat...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Seismic Response of Single-Story RC Frames under Biaxial Earthquake Excitations
This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...
