Abstract
The seismic performance of a steel frame base-isolated structure with steel spiral spring limiters is experimentally investigated under near-fault ground motions. A series of shake table simulator tests are carried out to analyze the dynamic response of isolation layer and superstructure. The test setup consists of a one-eighth scale five-story steel frame with steel spiral spring limiters that are designed and modeled in different parameters and stiffness, as well as various reserved gap sizes between the testing structure and limiters. The main output parameters are the maximum deformation at the isolation level, the maximum vertical force of isolation bearings, and inter-story drift. The results further reveal the seismic impact on the isolation layer and superstructure dynamic response caused by the limiter stiffness and reserved gap size.
期刊介绍:
The Earthquakes and Structures, An International Journal, focuses on the effects of earthquakes on civil engineering structures. The journal will serve as a powerful repository of technical information and will provide a highimpact publication platform for the global community of researchers in the traditional, as well as emerging, subdisciplines of the broader earthquake engineering field. Specifically, some of the major topics covered by the Journal include: .. characterization of strong ground motions, .. quantification of earthquake demand and structural capacity, .. design of earthquake resistant structures and foundations, .. experimental and computational methods, .. seismic regulations and building codes, .. seismic hazard assessment, .. seismic risk mitigation, .. site effects and soil-structure interaction, .. assessment, repair and strengthening of existing structures, including historic structures and monuments, and .. emerging technologies including passive control technologies, structural monitoring systems, and cyberinfrastructure tools for seismic data management, experimental applications, early warning and response
