Energy-based response of simple structural systems by using simulated ground motions

2017-09-13
For the last two decades, there has been a growing and remarkable attention on the energy-based design and assessment approaches for structural systems. These approaches have also been implemented to some of the national seismic design codes as alternative methods in addition to the traditional force-based design methodology. The underlying research has been often carried out by using actual ground motion records taken from many different earthquakes all over the world. However, such an attempt impairs the validity of the obtained results since it is generally not possible to construct a homogeneous ground motion record database with well-distributed source and ground motion parameters. In this study, in order to overcome the aforementioned disadvantage, a large set of simulated ground motion records are used in a parametric study to examine the influence of different intensity measures on the energy-based response of simple structural systems, i.e. single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems. A set of ground motions is formed from simulation of potential events with a certain moment magnitude range, source-to-site distances and soil conditions. The simulations are performed on active faults around Erzincan city center located on the Eastern sections of North Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey. The output parameters are input energy, hysteretic energy and damping energy. The results show that the energy is a relatively stable parameter when compared to other response parameters. Hence energy seems to be a good candidate to be used in seismic design and assessment approaches. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In recent years, there has been a strong interest on energy-based design and assessment methods for structural systems. The underlying research has been mostly performed using real ground motion records taken from existing earthquakes worldwide. Results may involve bias due to lack of homogeneity of the available ground motion dataset in terms of magnitudes, source to site distances or soil conditions. In this study,a large set of ground motion records are simulated within a p...

The seismic design and evaluation of large bridges is a demanding task owing to the significant size and the structural characteristics of these systems. Although elastic analysis methods are regarded as sufficient for common, uncritical bridges; complex analysis methods such as non-linear time history analysis (NTHA) are often required for non-standard and/or important bridges. The selection of the ground motions that will be used in non-linear time history analysis is a crucial task in this regard as the ...

Simulated ground motions can be used in structural and earthquake engineering practice as an alternative to or to augment the real ground motion data sets. Common engineering applications of simulated motions are linear and nonlinear time history analyses of building structures, where full acceleration records are necessary. Before using simulated ground motions in such applications, it is important to assess those in terms of their frequency and amplitude content as well as their match with the correspondi...

Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
