In this research study, a new set of restoring force equations are proposed for seismic isolated structures subjected to far fault ground motions (FFGM) and near fault ground motions (NFGM). For this purpose, 110 FFGM and 49 NFGM are selected. Then, nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) of SDOF seismic isolated structures are performed using the selected ground motions to obtain their residual and maximum displacements. The analyses are repeated for an extensive range of parameters including peak ground acceleration, Ap, characteristic strength, Qd and post elastic period, Td, of the isolation system. Next, the variations of the residual and maximum displacements are plotted as functions of the various combinations of the parameters considered in the analyses. Then, nonlinear regression analyses are performed to formulate the residual and maximum displacements as functions of the parameters considered in the analyses. The developed equations are then used to formulate the upper limits of Td (restoring force equations) to ensure reasonable levels of residual and maximum isolator displacements. The developed restoring force equations are then compared with those of AASHTO [1] and Eurocode-8 (EC-8) [2] using the pool of residual and maximum displacement data obtained from NLTHA. It is observed that unreasonably large levels of residual and maximum displacements may be obtained for some cases when the restoring force equations of AASHTO [1] and EC-8 [2] are used. However, when the restoring force requirements proposed in this research study are applied, the residual and maximum displacements are observed to be within feasible ranges.

Proposed minimum restoring force requirements for seismic isolated structures
Dicleli, Murat (2021-02-01)
In this research study, a new set of restoring force equations are proposed for seismic isolated structures subjected to far fault ground motions (FFGM) and near fault ground motions (NFGM). For this purpose, 110 FFGM and 49 NFGM are selected. Then, nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) of SDOF seismic isolated structures are performed using the selected ground motions to obtain their residual and maximum displacements.

Equivalent linear analysis of seismic-isolated bridges subjected to near-fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect
Dicleli, Murat (2007-01-01)
This study encompasses the assessment of the equivalent linear (EL) analysis procedure for the design of seismic isolated bridges (SIB) subjected to near-fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect. The assessment procedure involves the comparison of the seismic response quantities obtained from EL analyses with those obtained from nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses. The effect of several isolator and near-fault ground motion properties are considered in the assessment of the EL analysi...
A(p)/V-p specific inelastic displacement ratio for the seismic response estimation of SDOF structures subjected to sequential near fault pulse type ground motion records
DURUCAN, CENGİZHAN; Durucan, Ayse Rusen (2016-10-01)
This research study is focused on an improved statistical equation proposed to estimate the inelastic displacement ratio, C-1, of structures subjected to sequential (pre-shock, main shock, after shock) pulse type near fault (NF) ground motions. Proposed equation considers the effects of fundamental vibration period of the structure, T, lateral strength ratio, R, and frequency content of the design earthquake on the variation of the response. Frequency content of the design earthquake, represented by the A(p...
Damping reduction equation for the equivalent linear analysis of seismic isolated structures subjected to near fault ground motions
Kara, Emra; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019)
In this study, a new damping reduction equation is proposed to obtain reasonable estimates of the actual nonlinear responses of seismic isolated structures (SIS) subjected to near fault ground motions (NGM) with forward-rupture-directivity effect, using equivalent linear analysis (ELA) procedure. For this purpose, first, a set of 29 NGM are selected and grouped according to their site soil classification. Then, the average response spectra of the NGM are plotted and a smoothed design response spectrum for e...
A study on major seismological and fault-site parameters affecting near-fault directivity ground-motion demands for strike-slip faulting for their possible inclusion in seismic design codes
Akkar, Sinan; MOGHIMI, SAED; Arıcı, Yalın (2018-01-01)
We investigate the role of major seismological (magnitude, pulse period, fault length, seismic activity, orientation of incident seismic wave with respect to fault-strike) and geometrical (fault-site geometry) parameters to understand the variations in ground-motion demands due to near-fault directivity (NFD) effects. To this end, we used a suite of probabilistic strike-slip earthquake scenarios and established the elastic spectral amplitude distributions conditioned on the above investigated parameters. Th...
