Dynamic Reliability Analysis of Mega-Sub Isolation System Under Random Ground Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical example shows that when the damping ratio of the isolation device is given, the overall reliability of the structure increases at first then decreases with increased frequency ratio, when the frequency ratio is constant, the overall reliability of the structure increases with increased damping ratio. In addition, compared to the aseismic system, the overall reliability of the mega-sub isolation system is significantly improved.

Influences of temporal evolution of ground motion frequency content on developed dynamic ratcheting in SDOF systems
Dynamic Ratcheting (DR) is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon occurring in hysteretic damping systems. It means the structural plastic deformation increases asymmetrically in successive cycles under an earthquake excitation. Although it is generally recognized that DR is closely related to the frequency contents of an earthquake excitation applied to thestructure, no targeted analysis has bee...

Endurance time (ET) method is a relatively new performance-based earthquake method for structural evaluation and design. In this method, the structure is subjected to a gradually intensifying accelorogram(s) and its performance is assessed based on the maximum time duration that it can meet the specified performance objectives. Using moment-resisting and braced frames which are rehabilitated by...
متن کاملApproximate Incremental Dynamic Analysis Using Reduction of Ground Motion Records
Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) requires the analysis of the non-linear response history of a structure for an ensemble of ground motions, each scaled to multiple levels of intensity and selected to cover the entire range of structural response. Recognizing that IDA of practical structures is computationally demanding, an approximate procedure based on the reduction of the number of ground m...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of TLCD-Equipped Shear Buildings under Dynamic Loads
This study targets the behavior of shear buildings equipped with tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) which attenuate dynamic load-induced vibrations. TLCDs are a passive damping system used in tall buildings. This kind of damper has proven to be very efficient, being an excellent alternative to mass dampers. A dynamic analysis of the structure-damper system was made using the software DynaPy, de...
