Hydrodynamic Loads Induced By Earthquakes

Offshore Technology Conference, 1972
Abstract When bottom mounted structures of large displacement are immersed in the sea, earthquake induced hydrodynamic loads may become important design factors. Specifically, as the earth oscillates, a bottom mounted structure is forced to describe time dependent motion in an otherwise still fluid.

Earthquake Load for Structural Reliability

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1989
An ultimate limit state criterion is developed for the seismic reliability assessment of single-story structures. This criterion is: when the structural precollapse energy absorption capacity is greater than the earthquake energy input, the structure can survive.

Earthquake Shear Load in Load-Bearing Masonry Buildings

Australian Journal of Structural Engineering, 2008
Load-bearing masonry buildings are composed of concrete slabs and supporting masonry walls, and in Australia usually incorporate slip joints in the interfaces between walls and slabs for serviceability reasons. The apparent conflicting requirements of the slip joints, to slip under long-term loads and to transmit short-term loading from wind and ...

Modelling and analysis of a basilica under earthquake loading

Journal of Cultural Heritage, 2003
Abstract In this paper a basilica-type church is analysed in order to assess its structural behaviour and seismic vulnerability. For this purpose, an effective two-step procedure has been used, consisting of: (a) 3D static and dynamic linear analyses of the structural complex, and (b) 2D nonlinear push-over analysis of the single macro-elements.

An economical structural system for wind and earthquake loads

Engineering Structures, 2001
Abstract An economical structural system which would mitigate undesirable vibrations due to wind and earthquake loads is being developed. In this proposed system, the inherent hysteretic damping of the knee–brace-frame (KBF) with shear yielding knee is tapped to maintain the structural integrity in the event of a severe earthquake, while the ...

Storage Tanks Under Earthquake Loading

Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1990
This is a state-of-the-art review of various treatments of earthquake loaded liquid filled shells by the methods of earthquake engineering, fluid dynamics, structural and soil dynamics, as well as the theory of stability and computational mechanics. Different types of tanks and different possibilities of tank failure will be discussed.

Earthquake Loading on Pipebridges

1992
We here consider the design loads due to earthquake-induced oscillations of a novel type of tubular bridge/tunnel (called a pipebridge), which contains a road within a tube of diameter 10m, and is submerged below the surface of the water at depths of up to 40m.

Laboratory Model Testing for Earthquake Loading

Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1977
Two types of facilities used at the University of California, Berkeley, for laboratory syudy of earthquake response characteristics of typical structures are described: (1)A 20-ft square shaking table; and (2)a variety of controlled loading devices. Shaking table tests of a 0.7 scale concrete building frame, a 1/30 scale highway overcrossing, and a 1/3

Reservoir Loading and Local Earthquakes

2015
Shortly after Lake Meade began to fill, local earthquakes were felt, reaching a magnitude 5 earthquake about a year after the reservoir has filled to 80% capacity. For a number of years after, local earthquakes showed a close correlation in number and energy releases with seasonal peak loads; but in due time, the correlation was as close with unloading
