This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews and assesses the various methodologies for site characterization and site effect estimation to carry out seismic zonation at micro and macro levels. Readers will learn about the suitability of these methodologies for each level of zoning that needs to be assessed in order to optimize the resources for carrying out seismic zonation. The Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards, and past studies have focused primarily on the Himalayan region (inter-plate zone) and the northeast region (subduction zone). The book improves understanding of the Peninsular India that also has significantly high seismicity and is prone to earthquakes of sizeable magnitude. Particular attention is given to the various methodologies for assessing seismic hazards, the scales at which site characterizations are carried out, and optimal methods for zonation practices using site data and hazard indexes. Aimed at students, this book will be of use to post-graduates and doctoral students researching seismic zonation, hazard assessment and mitigation, and spatial data in earth sciences.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the twenty-ninth volume in the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's series, Connections: The EERI Oral History Series. EERI began this series to preserve the recollections of some of those who have had pioneering careers in the field of earthquake engineering. Significant, even revolutionary, changes have occurred in earthquake engineering since individuals first began thinking in modern, scientific ways about how to protect construction and society from earthquakes. The Connections series helps document this important history. This volume in the EERI Oral History Series presents the life and career of Anil K. Chopra, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. After he graduated from college in India, he went to UC Berkeley to earn his Master's and PhD degrees, then taught at the University of Minnesota before returning to join the faculty of UC Berkeley for the next 47 years, retiring in 2016. The first class he was asked to teach at UC Berkeley was structural dynamics, a course which had been started by his mentors, Ray Clough and Joe Penzien. His work in that field resulted in a number of publications on a wide range of topics in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. Chopra chaired the structural analysis committee of the project producing the influential ATC-3, Tentative Provisions for the Development of Seismic Regulations for Buildings, and he tells interesting stories about working with Nate Newmark, Emilio Rosenblueth, Henry Degenkolb, and others. His expertise in structural dynamics resulted in his being asked to write the EERI monograph on structural dynamics, Dynamics of Structures: A Primer, and later led to his very widely used university textbook, Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Application to Earthquake Engineering, now in its fifth edition. A major theme in Chopra's research is the seismic analysis and design of concrete dams. He and a number of PhD students developed procedures for earthquake analysis of concrete dams, and he has consulted on dozens of major projects around the world. In 2020 he published his comprehensive book on the subject, Earthquake Engineering for Concrete Dams: Analysis, Design, and Evaluation.
Download or read book Seismic Performance Assessment of Self centering Dual Systems with Different Configurations written by Mehdei Kafaeikivi and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems have limited capacity for lateral displacement, causing structural damage that leads to high post-earthquake costs under moderate earthquakes. Self-centering concentrically braced frame (SC-CBF) systems have been developed to soften the lateral force-lateral drift response of the system without causing structural damage; however, the construction cost of SC-CBF systems is expected to be high due to the precision required in fabrication and erection. To take advantage of the ductility of SC-CBFs and the economy of conventional CBFs, a novel dual system has been proposed in which the lower stories of the lateral force resisting system are SC-CBFs and the upper stories are conventional CBFs. The SC-CBF is intended to act as a ductile sub-structure for the CBF, reducing the construction costs and post-earthquake costs. This study presents the design basis of the dual system and an investigation of the influence of dual system configuration on structural performance. To achieve this goal and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dual system, a probabilistic performance assessment is conducted in this study, considering both structural and non-structural components. Firstly, eight prototype buildings are designed with the same configurations and gravity systems but different lateral load resisting systems (CBF and dual systems). Then, nonlinear time history analysis is performed using 3D numerical modeling to obtain seismic responses under a suite of ground motions. Next, probabilistic demand models are developed to predict the selected engineering demand parameters. To develop probabilistic demand models, several intensity measures are investigated to determine the best link between ground motion properties and structural and non-structural responses. The demand model parameters are estimated from regression analysis based on the responses obtained from nonlinear time history analysis of the finite element models. Moreover, hazard analysis is performed to quantify the seismic hazard for the structures. Three different locations inside the United States are considered in the hazard analysis: Los Angeles (high-seismic zone), Seattle (moderate-seismic zone), and Boston (low-seismic zone). Using detailed demand models, the corresponding capacity limits, and calculated intensity hazards, seismic fragility curves and engineering demand hazard curves are developed for three performance levels for structural and non-structural components. Finally, loss analysis is conducted to estimate expected annual loss and pay-off periods for different structural systems. The results of this study show that the dual system can be an efficient structural system for mid-rise buildings in high-seismic zones. Moreover, the time in which the higher initial construction costs of the dual systems are compensated by lower earthquake-induced losses in the lifetime of structures is calculated and presented for different configurations of the dual system.
