New Lateral Force Distribution for Seismic Design of Structures Based on Seismic Demand Ratio
The design of earthquake-resistant buildings starts with defining the maximum lateral earthquake forces or their resultant. The amount of these forces depends on various factors, including coefficient of system behavior which depends on overstrength and its ductility. In this study, a method is presented for designing an earthquake-resistant system in which the distribution of lateral forces is...
متن کاملToy Train Safety Control System
The toy train is a lot of fun for children and it decorates our Christmas tree at home. However, as many users complain, toy trains may be derailed and damaged by running too fast at the bend or hitting an obstacle on track, which creates inconvenience and even money loss for toy train users [1]. Therefore, we want to design a safety control system able to detect the bend and the hazard obstacl...
متن کاملSeismic Control of Asymmetric Structures
This paper presents results of an investigation on how supplemental viscous damping can be used to control excessive deformations in asymmetric-plan buildings. It is shown that symmetric distribution of supplemental damping devices in the building plan is not necessarily the best way to control excessive deformations in an asymmetric-plan building; a value of the damping eccentricity equal to t...
متن کاملSeismic performance of transportation structures
Revolutionary changes which have taken place in the USA over the past 50 years in earthquake engineering as applied to transportation structures (highway bridges, and transit and high-speed rail aerial structures) are reviewed, giving emphasis to seismic design criteria, characterization of seismic ground motions, dual strategy of seismic design, modelling and dynamic analysis, assessment of se...
متن کاملRegional Seismic Discriminants Using Wave-Train Energy Ratios
We have examined broadband regional waveforms of recent (since 1988) Nevada Test Site (NTS) underground explosions and earthquakes throughout the southwestern United States and Baja, Mexico, recorded by TERRAscope and other IRIS stations in order to characterize seismic sources for the purposes of event identification. As expected, earthquakes tended to be richer in long-period surface-wave and...
