Earthquake response of ten-story story-drift-controlled reinforced concrete frames with hysteretic dampers

Engineering Structures, 2010
Abstract To date, most studies on the earthquake response of building structures with hysteretic dampers have defined the mechanical properties of dampers based on a required yield strength and stiffness. Moreover, some previous studies have also shown that the performance of hysteretic dampers is influenced by the damage in the main structure ...

Mitigation of inter-story drift concentration in multi-story steel Concentrically Braced Frames through implementation of Rocking Cores

Engineering Structures, 2014
Abstract This paper investigates a new seismic rehabilitation technology for low-rise and mid-rise steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) vulnerable to inter-story drift concentration and soft-story failures. The technology consists of installation of a single or multiple sufficient Rocking Cores (RCs) pinned to the foundation and connected to an ...

Stiffness configuration of strongbacks to mitigate inter-story drift concentration in buildings

Engineering Structures, 2019
Abstract This paper examines the stiffness configuration of strongbacks to effectively mitigate inter-story drift concentration in buildings. This study first develops a simplified numerical model for simulating buildings with strongbacks. This simplified numerical model is capable of reflecting the various deformation types of the strongbacks and ...

LITTORAL DRIFT MANAGEMENT—A SUCCESS STORY OF VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2011
ABSTRACT Though the complex littoral drift phenomenon is left unnoticed on natural open coasts in view of its ‘large time-scale’ evolutionary effects on beach morphology, the same can never be ignored when open coast port developments are planned particularly in large littoral drift regions. This paper reveals the success story of port of Visakhapatnam

Calculation Methods for Inter-Story Drifts of Building Structures

Advances in Structural Engineering, 2014
The current methods for calculating the inter-story harmful drift are evaluated, and new concepts of the inter-story average shear drift and the inter-story average rotation are proposed in this paper. The definitions and contents of the inter-story harmful and harmless drift are introduced.
