The Effect of Tuned Mass Damper on Seismic Response of Building Frames with Uncertain Structural Characteristics
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) could be used to absorb the input energy of the applied load, and reduce the response of the building frames. However, the effectiveness of TMD in reducing the response of the building frames could be affected by inherited uncertainties in the structural characteristics of the frames. In this study, in order to investigate the probabilistic response of steel moment-res...
متن کاملSeismic Ductility Reduction of Flexural-type Structures with Vertical Irregularities
Seismic ductility reduction factors for flexural-type structures with vertical irregularities subjected to pulse-like and nonpulse-like ground motions are investigated in this paper. By establishing various multi-node flexural cantilever-column models, the ductility reduction factor of vertically irregular structures is studied by modifying the ductility reduction factor of irregular structures...
متن کاملSpectral evaluation of seismic fragility of structures
ABSTRACT: An approach for assessing the seismic fragility of inelastic structures is presented. In this approach, the structural response, which is evaluated from response spectra with an associated probability distribution, is compared with the performance limits states to assess fragility. Formulas that provide the probability distribution of spectral ordinates are developed based on the cros...
متن کاملFragility Surfaces as Measure of Seismic Performance
Fragility surfaces give the probability of failure for structural or non-structural systems as a function of two parameters, the earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance. These parameters provide a unique characterization of the ground motion. In contrast, the current characterization of the ground motion by a single parameter, e.g., the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), can be unsatisfactory...
متن کاملImpact of Irregularities of 3D Seismic Geometry on Subsurface Imaging
3D seismic data acquisition brought a sea change in subsurface imaging. The bridge between geology and seismic is P/S wave velocity of different subsurfaces/lithology. The technique has acquired prime importance due to its inherent strength of determining seismic velocity/amplitudes of the different medium. Lithological variations estimations is possible due to proper Vp/Vs ratio or either velo...
