Abstract
The aim of this paper is reducing the responses of structures under the mine blast‐induced ground motion by using semi‐active tools. In other words, the objective of this study is to provide a method to reduce the destructive effects of underground mine‐blast excitation. Investigating the behavior of structures under the mine blast excitation is essential because some buildings are subjected to the blast load of mines due to the rapid urbanization in different regions. Also, the importance of studying this excitation, based on the distinctive nature of mine blast‐induced underground motion, becomes more apparent. For proper investigation and comparison of responses, a seismic excitation is considered. To reduce the responses of two proposed shear structures, magnetorheological (MR) and orifice dampers are utilized. The optimum location for these dampers is investigated. To generate the optimal force each time step the clipped‐optimal algorithm is used based on the input force. The control force can be changed by adjusting the input voltage and magnetic field of dampers. In this research, structural responses based on optimal and maximum voltage are scrutinized. The results indicated that the proposed method is appropriate for reducing the responses of structures under the mine blast‐induced ground motion and seismic excitation.
期刊介绍:
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor''s policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.
The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.
However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.
