Book Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures

Download or read book Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures written by Oren Lavan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent years. This issue is of particular importance, since real structures are almost all irregular. Furthermore, structural irregularities depend on several factors often very difficult to predict. This book is an essential tool for understanding the problem of structural irregularities and provides the most up-to-date review on this topic, covering the aspects of ground rotations, analysis, design, control and monitoring of irregular structures. It includes 24 contributions from authors of 13 countries, giving a complete and international view of the problem.

Book Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures III

Download or read book Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures III written by Dietlinde Köber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents state-of-the-art knowledge on problems of the effects of structural irregularities on their seismic response. It also covers specific spatial and rotational seismic loads on these structures. Rapid progress in respective research on irregular structures and unconventional seismic loads requires prompt updates of the state of the art in this area. These problems are of particular interest to both researchers and practitioners because these are non-conservative effects compared with the approach of the traditional seismic design (e.g. Eurocode 8, Uniform Building Code etc.). This book will be of particular interest to researchers, PhD students and engineers dealing with design of structures under seismic excitations.

COVERAGE INCLUDES: Code sections and analysis Diaphragm basics Diaphragms with end horizontal offsets Diaphragms with intermediate offsets Diaphragms with openings Open front and cantilever diaphragms Diaphragms with vertical offsets Complex diaphragms with combined openings and offsets Standard shear walls Shear walls with openings Discontinous shear walls Horizontally offset shear walls The portal frame Rigid moment-resisting frame walls--the frame method of analysis

Book A Complete Earthquake Resistant Design of Four Story Regular Office Building for Pakistan Region

Download or read book A Complete Earthquake Resistant Design of Four Story Regular Office Building for Pakistan Region written by Faheem A. Gul and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objective of this work program is to enhance the awareness of the public against vulnerability of upcoming earthquakes. The specific objective of this work is: “To make our students capable to design a regular building independently”. The above-mentioned specific goal is achieved with the help of following three tasks (defining the scope of current work): i) To calculate the external stability checks problem ii) To design the superstructure of the building project by using SAP (Structure analysis program) software, in order to create and analyze FEM (Finite Element Model). The analysis results will be used for the drawings of structural members of the building. iii) To Design the substructure of the building project by using SAFE software. The analysis results of the building foundation will be used for the structural drawings of isolated footings.

Book Assessment of Multi story Building Seismic Design Factors with Structural Irregularity

Download or read book Assessment of Multi story Building Seismic Design Factors with Structural Irregularity written by El Sayed Abdel Naby Abdel Aziz Abou Khalifa and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many high-rise buildings are practically irregular as a result of the architectural and service requirements in the design process, errors and modifications during the construction phase, and changes of the building use throughout its service life. Structural irregularities could increase the uncertainties related to the ability of the building to meet the design objectives. This study is thus devoted to assess the safety margins and calibrate the seismic design response factors of modern high-rise buildings with different vertical irregularity features. A brief survey of the most common vertical irregularities in reinforced concrete multi-story buildings is conducted to select reference structures. Five 50-story high-rise buildings are then selected and fully designed using international building codes to represent well-designed tall buildings with principal vertical irregularity types. Fiber-based simulation models are developed to assess the seismic response of the five benchmark buildings under the effect of forty earthquake records representing far-field and near-field seismic scenarios. The comprehensive results obtained from inelastic pushover and incremental dynamic analyses are employed to provide insights into the local and global seismic response of the reference structures. The probabilistic vulnerability assessment of the five high-rise buildings is conducted at different limit states using fragility relationships. The study concluded that the seismic performance of well-designed regular and vertically irregular high-rise buildings is satisfactory under the design earthquake. Under severe earthquakes, the seismic response of tall buildings with extreme soft story and geometric irregularity is not inferior to that of the regular vii counterpart at different seismic performance levels. Despite the overstrength factor adopted in the design of buildings with discontinuities in the lateral-force-resisting system and extreme weak story, the observed negative impacts of these irregularity categories on increasing the vulnerability of high-rise buildings are substantial. This confirms the pressing need for mitigation strategies to reduce the expected seismic losses of the latter classes of building. The calibration of seismic design response factors of the reference high-rise buildings also confirms that, although the code coefficients are adequately conservative, they can be revised to arrive at a more efficient and cost-effective design of regular and irregular high-rise buildings.
