This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to serve as an essential reference to facilitate civil engineers involved in the design of new conventional (ordinary) reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings regulatedby the current European EC8 (EN 1998-1:2004) and EC2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004) codesof practice. The book provides unique step-by-step flowcharts which take the readerthrough all the required operations, calculations, and verification checks prescribed bythe EC8 provisions. These flowcharts are complemented by comprehensive discussionsand practical explanatory comments on critical aspects of the EC8 code-regulatedprocedure for the earthquake resistant design of R/C buildings. Further, detailedanalysis and design examples of typical multi-storey three-dimensional R/C buildingsare included to illustrate the required steps for achieving designs of real-life structures which comply with the current EC8 provisions. These examples can be readily used as verification tutorials to check the reliability of custom-made computer programs and of commercial Finite Element software developed/used for the design of earthquakeresistant R/C buildings complying with the EC8 (EN 1998-1:2004) code.This book will be of interest to practitioners working in consulting and designingengineering companies and to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level civilengineering students attending courses and curricula in the earthquake resistant designof structures and/or undertaking pertinent design projects.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floor and roof systems are designed to carry gravity loads and transfer these loads to supporting beams, columns or walls. Furthermore, they play a key role in distributing earthquake-induced loads to the lateral load resisting systems by diaphragm action. In reinforced concrete buildings, the in-plane flexibility of the floor diaphragms is often ignored for simplicity in practical design (i.e., the floor systems are frequently treated as perfectly rigid diaphragms). In recent building standards (ASCE-7, 2005), it is acknowledged that this assumption can result in considerable errors when predicting the seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings with diaphragm plan aspect ratio of 3:1 or greater. However, the influence of floor diaphragm openings (typically for the purpose of stairways, shafts, or other architectural features) has not been considered. In order to investigate the influence of diaphragm openings on the seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings; several 3-story reinforced concrete buildings are designed as a Building Frame System according to the International Building Code (2006). Each building is assumed to be in the Saint Louis, Missouri area, and it's analyzed using IDARC2, a non-commercial program capable of conducting nonlinear analysis of RC buildings with rigid, elastic, or inelastic floor diaphragms, under both static lateral loads (pushover) and dynamic ground motions (time-history), where a suite of three well-known earthquakes is scaled to model moderate ground motions in the Saint Louis region. The comprehensive analytical study conducted involves placing different opening sizes (none, 11%, 15% and 22% of total floor area) in various floor plan locations with respect to the location of the shear walls (located at end frames or at the interior frames), where three types of floor diaphragm models (rigid, elastic, and inelastic) are assumed. Building floor plan aspect ratios of 3:1 and 4:1 are investigated. IDARC2 is enhanced by modifying the fiber model (strain compatibility) computation routine involved in obtaining the idealized moment-curvature curves of floor slabs with openings (symmetric and nonsymmetric). Also, a new option is added so that the user can over-ride IDARC2 idealized moment-curvature curves for slabs with openings and by defining their own. The results are then presented and discussed. It is concluded that in order to capture the seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings with floor diaphragm openings accurately; it is necessary to use an inelastic diaphragm model for floor diaphragm aspect ratio of 3:1 or greater. Thus, using a rigid diaphragm assumption, as specified by ASCE7-05 for buildings concrete floor diaphragms with aspect ratio of 3:1, and elastic diaphragm assumption, as allowed by ASCE7-05 for floor diaphragm with aspect ratio of 4:1, can result in significant underestimations of the lateral loads resisted by the interior building frames and building maximum frame displacements, particularly when the diaphragm openings are located in the middle two-thirds of the building plan. The base shear redistribution due to inelastic slab deformations increases the load subjected to the interior frames significantly. Hence, the influence of inelastic inplane diaphragm deformations due to floor openings cannot be overlooked in such buildings. Simple design recommendation is given for determining proper diaphragm chord reinforcement to prevent in-plane floor slab yielding when openings are present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to serve as a textbook for engineering courses on earthquake resistant design. The book covers important attributes for seismic design such as material properties, damping, ductility, stiffness and strength. The subject coverage commences with simple concepts and proceeds right up to nonlinear analysis and push-over method for checking building adequacy. The book also provides an insight into the design of base isolators highlighting their merits and demerits. Apart from the theoretical approach to design of multi-storey buildings, the book highlights the care required in practical design and construction of various building components. It covers modal analysis in depth including the important missing mass method of analysis and tension shift in shear walls and beams. These have important bearing on reinforcement detailing. Detailed design and construction features are covered for earthquake resistant design of reinforced concrete as well as confined and reinforced masonry structures. The book also provides the methodology for assessment of seismic forces on basement walls and pile foundations. It provides a practical approach to design and detailing of soft storeys, short columns, vulnerable staircases and many other components. The book bridges the gap between design and construction. Plenty of worked illustrative examples are provided to aid learning. This book will be of value to upper undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on seismic design of structures.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation approaches the subject of three-dimensional (3D) seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings at near-fault sites by first studying two main problems separately: (1) the characterization of base excitation for buildings located at near-fault sites, and (2) modeling the behavior of RC buildings accurately including inelastic behavior and the failure mode. The dissertation culminates with the 3D response history analysis of two 20-story RC core wall buildings models, including the slabs and columns, subject to a strong near-fault ground motion record. First, the presence and characteristics of multiple pulses [with dominant period TP between 0.5 and 12 s] in historical near-fault ground motion records is studied. An iterative method for extracting multiple strong pulses imbedded in a ground motion is presented. The method is used to extract multiple strong velocity pulses from the fault-normal horizontal component of 40 pulse-like ground motion records from 17 historical earthquakes, with magnitudes ranging from MW6.3 to MW7.9, recorded at a distance less than 10 km from the fault rupture with a peak ground velocity greater than 0.6 m / s. The relationships between the dominant period of the extracted pulses, associated amplitudes, and earthquake magnitude are presented, indicating that the amplitude of the strongest pulses with 1.5 s ≤ TP ≤ 5 s, does not depend significantly on the earthquake magnitude. Next, the effect of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) for a 20-story core wall building with a caisson foundation subject to single pulse motions is investigated using two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear finite-elements and fiber beam-column elements; nonlinear site effects on the free-field motion and structural response is discussed. The nonlinear site effects for free-field motions result in a de-amplification of peak surface acceleration due to soil yielding, and a maximum of 64% amplification of peak acceleration and velocity of at specific pulse periods for deep soils. SFSI, after removing the nonlinear site effect, has a negligible effect on the maximum value of peak roof acceleration and peak roof drift ratio over the pulse periods considered; however, the effect of the increased flexibility due to SFSI is observed in the peak drift ratio and peak base shear response. A couple of chapters of this dissertation are dedicated to the development and verification of a three-dimensional nonlinear cyclic modelling method for non-planar reinforced concrete walls and slabs. This modeling approached - called the beam-truss model (BTM) - consists of (i) nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli fiber-section beam elements representing the steel and concrete in the vertical and horizontal direction, and (ii) nonlinear trusses representing the concrete in the diagonal directions. The model represents the effects of flexure-shear interaction (FSI) by computing the stress and strains in the horizontal and vertical directions and by considering biaxial effects on the behavior of concrete diagonals. In addition, the BTM explicitly models diagonal compression and tension failures (shear failures) under cyclic or dynamic loading. The BTM is first validated by comparing the experimentally measured and numerically computed response of eight RC walls subjected to static cyclic loading, including two non-planar RC walls under biaxial cyclic loading. Then, the BTM is extended to modeling slabs and validated with a two-bay slab-column specimen. Finally, the BTM is validated by comparing the experimentally measured and numerically computed response and failure mode of a 5-story coupled wall RC building under seismic base excitation. The final chapter presents the 3D response history analysis of two 20-story RC core wall buildings subject to a strong near-fault ground motion record. The 20-story building model includes the RC core wall, post-tensioned slabs, and columns; the core wall and slabs are modeled using the developed BTM while the columns are modeled with fiber-section beam-column elements. The two 20-story RC core wall buildings considered have similar geometry: one is conventionally designed to develop plastic hinging at the base of the core-wall, and the second is designed with a damage resistant structural system that combines two seismic isolation planes. Analysis is conducted using the two horizontal components of the historical TCU52 ground motion recorded 0.7 km from the fault plane of the MW7.6 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan earthquake. The seismic response and damage of the two buildings is discussed.
