Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems presents invited papers presented at the international workshop (University of Auckland, New Zealand, 21-22 November 2016). This international workshop brought together outstanding work in earthquake engineering that embraces a holistic consideration of soilfoundation-structure systems. For example, the diversity of papers in this volume is represented by contributions from the fields of shallow foundation in liquefiable soil, spatially distributed lifelines, bridges, clustered structures (see photo on front cover), sea floor seismic motion, multi-axial ground excitation, deep foundations, soil-foundation-structurefluid interaction, liquefaction-induced settlement and uplift with SFSI. A fundamental knowledge gap is manifested by the isolated manner geotechnical and structural engineers work. A holistic consideration of soil-foundation-structures systems is only possible if civil engineers work collaboratively to the mutual benefit of all disciplines. Another gap occurs by the retarded application of up-to-date research findings in engineering design practices. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems is the outcome from the recognized need to close this gap, since it has been observed that a considerable delay exists between published research findings and application of the principles revealed by the research. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems will be helpful in developing more understanding of the complex nature of responses these systems present under strong earthquakes, and will assist engineers in closing the gaps identified above.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computationally efficient procedure for the linear earthquake analysis of structure-foundation systems is developed, which is specially suited to finite element solutions of complex shaped structures on large, layered foundations. The procedure is very general in scope, being applicable to a large variety of structure-foundation interaction problems. An explicit formulation of the procedure is presented for a plane strain idealization of a dam foundation system. The procedure utilizes a substructure approach. The foundation is analyzed first, independently of the structure, to obtain its frequency dependent compliance characteristics at the connection nodes with the structure. Equations of motion for the structure are then written in the frequency domain incorporating the effect of the foundation, the input to the problem being the freefield motion of the structural base. The substructure approach allows a more detailed modelling of the structure. (Modified author abstract).

Download or read book Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Performance written by Mark Aschheim and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The costs of inadequate earthquake engineering are huge, especially for reinforced concrete buildings. This book presents the principles of earthquake-resistant structural engineering, and uses the latest tools and techniques to give practical design guidance to address single or multiple seismic performance levels. It presents an elegant, simple and theoretically coherent design framework. Required strength is determined on the basis of an estimated yield displacement and desired limits of system ductility and drift demands. A simple deterministic approach is presented along with its elaboration into a probabilistic treatment that allows for design to limit annual probabilities of failure. The design method allows the seismic force resisting system to be designed on the basis of elastic analysis results, while nonlinear analysis is used for performance verification. Detailing requirements of ACI 318 and Eurocode 8 are presented. Students will benefit from the coverage of seismology, structural dynamics, reinforced concrete, and capacity design approaches, which allows the book to be used as a foundation text in earthquake engineering.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interactions between a structure, its foundation, and the surrounding soil during an earthquake are referred to as soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI). The interactions between multiple structures, and their foundations, through the surrounding soil are collectively known as structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI). Modern design codes in use in the United States, and abroad, provide guidance for considering SFSI during the seismic design of structural systems. However, these same codes do not provide any guidance for considering SSSI. This situation is a direct result of the current paucity of research into the effects of SSSI on structural performance. This dissertation describes the results of four centrifuge experiments designed to study the influence of SSSI on the seismic performance of building-foundation systems. Following these experiments, numerical models were developed and their efficiency at reproducing measured response evaluated. The experimental program involved two pairs of tests. During Test-1 and Test-2, the SFSI and SSSI-influenced responses of two three-dimensional inelastic frame structures were recorded. During Test-3 and Test-4, the interactions between an inelastic frame structure and an elastic rocking wall arranged in a variety of orientations were recorded. In each of the pair of test series, one configuration was devoted to the evaluation of the response of the model frame structures far from any neighboring structure. Ultimately, the experimental results demonstrate that when structures are placed next to each other, the seismic demands in inelastic frame structures can increase. As such, seismic structural performance may be negatively impacted by SSSI. The tests reveal that footings of buildings placed nearest to other buildings can be physically restrained when loaded towards the other building -- a physical mechanism that had not previously been observed. This asymmetrical physical restraint resulted in a stiffened hysteretic response of footings nearest to adjacent buildings and nominal increases in seismic demands to superstructure elements. It is also demonstrated that wave-based analytical solutions to the SSSI problem alone are not adequate for modeling the interactions between building-foundation systems with highly nonlinear foundation responses. During the numerical phase of this research, available tools for modeling SFSI effects (i.e., absent the effects of neighboring structures) in OpenSees were first refined. The shallowFoundationGen command was redeveloped to give the user greater flexibility. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that the updated modeling technique provides an adequate means to model the experimentally observed coupling of the vertical footing force and overturning moment load combinations for shallow foundations attached to inelastic frame structures. Finally, an available methodology for modeling wave-based SSSI effects was implemented in OpenSees and its capability to predict the experimentally measured seismic demands of an SSSI-influenced inelastic structure was evaluated. Ultimately, it is concluded that the use of foundation-to-foundation connection springs, which are based on wave-based solutions, is insufficient for capturing the seismic response of adjacent structures with highly nonlinear individual SFSI responses.
