The elastic drift spectrum displays, as a function of period, the story drift (expressed as the ratio of the story drift to story height) that a ground motion record would cause in a multistory framed building. It is a pivotal instrument for performance-based earthquake engineering. Wave theory for a uniform shear beam is utilized for calculating this spectrum, but it requires that records of the ground velocity and displacement should be available. Alternative but less rigorous expressions of the drift spectrum for the ground story level of a multistory frame are developed. This set of formulations requires only that the displacement spectrum, or equivalently the acceleration spectrum, for which the basic input is the ground acceleration, should be at hand. We compare these expressions against both the rigorous formulation and other simple techniques. The error that the proposed formulation represents appears to be acceptable even when the comparison is done for near-field accelerograms where the drift demand is substantial.

A microslip friction model with normal load variation induced by normal motion Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Menq, Chia-Hsiang (2007-11-01) A two-dimensional microslip friction model with normal load variation induced by normal motion is presented in this paper. The model is a distributed parameter model, which characterizes the stick-slip-separation of the contact interface and determines the resulting friction force, including its time variance and spatial distribution, between two elastic structures. When the relative motion is simple harmonic motion, the stick-slip-separation transition angles associated with any point in the contact area c...
A Three dimensional mixed formulation nonlinear frame finite element based on hu-washizu functional Soydaş, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) A three dimensional nonlinear frame finite element is presented in this analytical study by utilizing Hu-Washizu principle with three fields of displacement, strain and stress in the variational form. Timoshenko beam theory is extended to three dimensions in order to derive strains from the displacement field. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinous section deformations along the beam. Nonlinear analyses are performed by...
Interstory drift based scaling of earthquake ground motions Eren, Numan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Pinho, Rui (2021-08-01) A novel amplitude scaling procedure is proposed in this study where the ground motion scaling factors are defined as the ratio of interstory drift distributions under target spectrum versus under the associated ground motion spectrum. The advantage of employing interstory drift ratio in ground motion scaling, compared to employing spectral intensity directly, is that it provides a strong theoretical link between the target spectrum intensity and the fundamental dynamic characteristics of the structure.

One-dimensional dynamic microslip friction model Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Menq, Ch (Elsevier BV, 2006-05-09) A one-dimensional dynamic microslip friction model, including the damper inertia, is presented in this paper. An analytical approach is developed to obtain the steady-state solution of the resulting nonlinear partial differential equations when subjected to harmonic excitation. In the proposed approach, according to the excitation frequency, a single mode of the system is considered in the steady-state solution for simplicity; consequently, phase difference among spatially distributed points is neglected.
