Hence, modal and dynamic time-history analyses of the NI building with base isolation based on different soil dynamic numerical models that are applicable for homogeneous and layered sites to consider the SSI effect were conducted. After a comparison analysis of natural frequencies, floor response spectra (FRS), and acceleration response of superstructure, the following results are obtained. (i) For homogeneous sites, the degrees of freedom of the horizontal translation and torsion of the NI building with base isolation calculated using different site dynamic numerical models have equivalent natural frequencies. For layered sites, the natural frequencies increase slightly with the improvement of the shear wave velocity of the upper layered soil. (ii) For homogeneous sites, FRS calculated by the massless foundation model is generally larger than those of the dynamic model proposed by the ASCE code and the viscoelastic artificial boundary site model. Both the spectral and peak values of horizontal FRS at a low frequency band calculated by considering the SSI effect are larger than those without the SSI effect. (iii) For layered sites, both the spectral and peak values of horizontal FRS at a low frequency band have an amplification effect compared with that of a homogeneous site. (iv) For layered sites, the calculated horizontal acceleration response does not have evident law that changes with the degree of hardness and softness of the upper soil. Therefore, the SSI effect for particular homogeneous and layered sites should be considered when calculating the seismic response of the NI building with base isolation.</p>","PeriodicalId":100383,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering and Resilience","volume":"1 4","pages":"410-426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eer2.34","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74038183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the importance of seismic probabilistic risk assessments is a topic that deserves attention. Generally, uncertainty quantification has been a crucial undertaking to assess the fragility of NPP buildings. This study aims to quantify realistic uncertainties using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model to reflect the obtained results to the conventional simple sway-rocking (SR) model, and to develop a seismic fragility assessment method that considers 3D effects. As a first step, a 3D FE model was developed, and a seismic response analysis was performed to evaluate the seismic response of the buildings. For comparison, a seismic response analysis using the conventional SR model was performed. For input ground motions, 200 types of simulated seismic ground motions, generated using fault-rupture models were adopted. As a second step, two types of uncertainties are evaluated for uncertainty quantification: uncertainty for input seismic ground motion and that due to different locations of equipment installed on a floor. As a third step, to reflect the 3D effect on the uncertainty of the conventional SR model, were investigated the median and logarithm standard deviation of the response ratio (3D FE/SR) of the maximum acceleration of the two models. The results of epistemic uncertainty tended to increase with the increasing elevation level and the epistemic uncertainty result in the basement floor, where important equipment was installed, was relatively small. By reflecting this epistemic uncertainty into the conventional SR model, a more realistic fragility assessment that considers the 3D effect is expected by applying this result as epistemic uncertainty of the SR model of the fragility assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":100383,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering and Resilience","volume":"1 4","pages":"427-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eer2.35","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77518323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluating the performance of the PSPS and water conveyance system under the hydraulic vibration condition is significant for the safety of the electric power and the PSPS system.

The coupling data exchange is realized by writing and reading files. The coupling model is validated by comparing the results with the pure 1D method under small load disturbance conditions. The forced vibration source is modeled by the pipe walls vibration method in the 3D region, and the 1D method takes charge of other parts in the PSPS system. The combination of the pipe walls vibration and 1D–3D coupling could fully consider the incident and reflected characteristics of the pressure waves. The established model could evaluate the overall performance of the PSPS system under forced vibration.

Being closely related to damage, displacement (or drift) has become an important parameter necessary to meet various performance goals. It is considered convenient to estimate the inelastic displacement demand in a structure by multiplying the elastic displacement demand of the structure with a ratio called the inelastic displacement ratio. A comprehensive study is conducted for the parametric dependence of the inelastic displacement ratio in single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems with known relative lateral strengths, on strong motion duration, earthquake magnitude, epicentral distance, and geological site conditions. This study is different from the earlier studies of similar types in that other governing parameters are kept fixed while the effects of variations in any particular parameter are studied. This study is based on the generation of ensembles of synthetic accelerograms from a database of 1274 accelerograms recorded in western USA for the pseudospectral acceleration (PSA) spectra of given source and site parameters. It is found that strong motion duration may influence the inelastic displacement ratios, depending on the hysteretic properties of the oscillator, in the case of durations not much longer than 10 s. Earthquake magnitude has a significant influence on these ratios for the SDOF systems of most periods, while site geology appears to be important for the stiff oscillators. A scaling model is also proposed in this study for estimating the inelastic displacement ratio spectrum from a normalized relative velocity spectrum of the ground motion. The proposed model indirectly includes the effects of various governing parameters and is shown to preserve the trends available from the direct study.</p>","PeriodicalId":100383,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering and Resilience","volume":"1 4","pages":"454-479"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eer2.31","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82611850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical models of the SF and SFPCSW structures are established in ETABS software based on an 18-story assembled steel residential building to investigate the seismic performance and collapse resistance capacity of SFPCSW. Time history analysis results show that the SFPCSW exhibits bending-shearing lateral deformation and has more uniform interstory drift ratios than the SF. Under major earthquakes (i.e., probability of exceedance of 2% in 50 years), the damage of SF is concentrated in stories 1–6; for SFPCSW, the plastic hinges mainly appear in the concrete beams between PCSWs at each story, and the damage in PCSWs and the internal frame is small. Using pinned connections between the steel beam and PCSW reduces the structural lateral stiffness and increases the earthquake load carried by the internal frame.
