Seismic Response of Liquefaction Sites

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997
The authors of this technical paper focus on the seismic response of liquefaction sites by evaluating the transient shear strains and strong-motion characteristics at Treasure Island during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The strain levels are used to model soil and buried pipeline deformations observed in the Marina District of San Francisco during ...

Seismic response of segmental buildings

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1995
AbstractThis paper proposes an aseismic design concept in which the superstructure of a base‐isolated building is divided into several segments. Each segment may comprise a few storeys and is interconnected by additional vibrational isolation systems. The dynamic characteristics of the segmental buildings are investigated. The optimum parameters of the

Seismic Response of Hemispherical Foundation

Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1979
A time domain finite element method has been used to investigate the response to seismic waves of rigid, three-dimensional, embedded foundations. The method eliminates the influence of artificial grid boundaries by completing the transient solution prior to the arrival of any nonphysical reflections.

The seismic response of inelastic structures.

1974
Because of the importance being placed by modern building codes of practice on the need for the deterministic analysis of ductile frames as a means of assessing their ability to withstand severe seismic ground motions, an investigation of the more important factors affecting such analyses has been made.

Transmitting Boundaries and Seismic Response

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1985
A parametric study of the seismic response of a chosen site was conducted to demonstrate the obvious inconsistencies in computed ground response as a result of different assumptions made on the transmitting boundary for the site. The cause of these inconsistencies in computed response is the departure from the ideal assumption that the soil deposit ...

Seismic Response of Multistory Buildings

2020
As discussed in Chapters 2 and 3, the seismic performance of a structure depends on its normalized strength, deformability, and damping. Normalized strength is the lateral strength of a structure divided by its weight. Due to its much higher weight, a multistory building generally has smaller normalized strength than a one-story building.

Seismic Response of Isolated Bridges

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2004
The response of bridges seismically isolated by lead-rubber bearings (L-RB) to bidirectional earthquake excitation (i.e., 2 horizontal components) is presented. The force-deformation behavior of L-RB is considered as bilinear, and the interaction between the restoring forces in 2 orthogonal horizontal directions is duly considered in the response ...

Seismic Response of Green Roofs

2009
Green roofs consist of vegetation with a light-weight substrate planted over a drainage layer and waterproof membrane. The green roof retains rainwater in the plants and substrate and releases the water through evapotranspiration and some surface drainage.

Seismic Response of Storage Racks

2020
Sliding at the base of structures is an excellent source of deformability and damping. This chapter discusses sliding between the structure and its contents. In Chaps. 3 and 4, flexural yielding in building frames, with fully restrained connections, was shown to significantly increase their damping and deformability.
