Performance Based Seismic Design for Tall Buildings
Author: Ramin GolesorkhiPublisher:
ISBN: 9780939493562
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) is a structural design methodology that has become more common in urban centers around the world, particularly for the design of high-rise buildings. The primary benefit of PBSD is that it substantiates exceptions to prescribed code requirements, such as height limits applied to specific structural systems, and allows project teams to demonstrate higher performance levels for structures during a seismic event.However, the methodology also involves significantly more effort in the analysis and design stages, with verification of building performance required at multiple seismic demand levels using Nonlinear Response History Analysis (NRHA). The design process also requires substantial knowledge of overall building performance and analytical modeling, in order to proportion and detail structural systems to meet specific performance objectives.This CTBUH Technical Guide provides structural engineers, developers, and contractors with a general understanding of the PBSD process by presenting case studies that demonstrate the issues commonly encountered when using the methodology, along with their corresponding solutions. The guide also provides references to the latest industry guidelines, as applied in the western United States, with the goal of disseminating these methods to an international audience for the advancement and expansion of PBSD principles worldwide.
Seismic Isolation, Structural Health Monitoring, and Performance Based Seismic Design in Earthquake Engineering
Author: Azer A. KasimzadePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319931571
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This book features chapters based on selected presentations from the International Congress on Advanced Earthquake Resistance of Structures, AERS2016, held in Samsun, Turkey, from 24 to 28 October 2016. It covers the latest advances in three widely popular research areas in Earthquake Engineering: Performance-Based Seismic Design, Seismic Isolation Systems, and Structural Health Monitoring. The book shows the vulnerability of high-rise and seismically isolated buildings to long periods of strong ground motions, and proposes new passive and semi-active structural seismic isolation systems to protect against such effects. These systems are validated through real-time hybrid tests on shaking tables. Structural health monitoring systems provide rapid assessment of structural safety after an earthquake and allow preventive measures to be taken, such as shutting down the elevators and gas lines, before damage occurs. Using the vibration data from instrumented tall buildings, the book demonstrates that large, distant earthquakes and surface waves, which are not accounted for in most attenuation equations, can cause long-duration shaking and damage in tall buildings. The overview of the current performance-based design methodologies includes discussions on the design of tall buildings and the reasons common prescriptive code provisions are not sufficient to address the requirements of tall-building design. In addition, the book explains the modelling and acceptance criteria associated with various performance-based design guidelines, and discusses issues such as selection and scaling of ground motion records, soil-foundation-structure interaction, and seismic instrumentation and peer review needs. The book is of interest to a wide range of professionals in earthquake engineering, including designers, researchers, and graduate students.
Seismic Design with Supplemental Energy Dissipation Devices

ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The purpose of this monograph is to impart basic concepts of the supplemental energy dissipation technology to design engineers, architects, and building officials so they can understand its benefits and limitations in structural applications. The approach is introductory. References are cited throughout the monograph for readers who wish to study the subject in more depth.Supplemental energy dissipation systems are recent innovations to improve earthquake building performance. Research has led to a better understanding of the effects of supplemental energy dissipation on the earthquake response of buildings. Over the last 20 years, significant progress has been made in developing manufactured systems. They are being reliably designed and installed in new as well as existing buildings.Development of design codes and standards for energy dissipation systems has progressed slowly. This monograph summarizes information on their use in designing new earthquake-resistant buildings and upgrading the seismic performance of existing buildings. The following areas are covered:? The physical consequences of adding energy dissipation systems to a structure for various types of input motion? Summary of generic energy dissipation device characteristics? Summary of pros and cons of specific device characteristics in meeting selected design objectives? Seismic design limits for selecting energy dissipation systems? Design approaches for the limits of elastic or inelastic response

Improved Seismic Monitoring - Improved Decision-Making

ISBN: 0309165032

Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Improved Seismic Monitoringâ€"Improved Decision-Making, describes and assesses the varied economic benefits potentially derived from modernizing and expanding seismic monitoring activities in the United States. These benefits include more effective loss avoidance regulations and strategies, improved understanding of earthquake processes, better engineering design, more effective hazard mitigation strategies, and improved emergency response and recovery. The economic principles that must be applied to determine potential benefits are reviewed and the report concludes that although there is insufficient information available at present to fully quantify all the potential benefits, the annual dollar costs for improved seismic monitoring are in the tens of millions and the potential annual dollar benefits are in the hundreds of millions.
