These events can result in substantial structural damage and hazardous material releases due to roof sinking and leading to rim fires. The metallic contact between the floating roof and the tank wall, induced by seismic roof oscillations, has been shown to generate sparks. These sparks, in the presence of flammable vapors, pose a significant risk during seismic events. This study investigates the interaction between the floating roof and the tank walls, with a focus on the role of the sealing system and the pounding dynamics during seismic events. Based on experimental findings of mechanical characterization of a spring in a typical sealing system, with a single-degree-of-freedom system with rigid pounding, the horizontal dynamics of the floating roof under seismic excitation were investigated. Then, a gap and a deformable, dissipative bumper system were designed to control the roof's oscillations and protect the sealing system. Seismic analyses demonstrated that the proposed bumpers significantly reduce the number and contact force of impacts, thereby mitigating the risk of generating sparks during the critical phase of maximum seismic energy. The optimized bumper design was found to be fully compatible with the operational conditions of the case study tank, offering an effective solution to improve the seismic safety of floating roof tanks in seismic-prone areas.</p>\u0000 <p><b>Summary</b>:\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Identifies fire hazards from roof-shell pounding in floating roof tanks, an issue overlooked in regulations.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Provides experimental characterization of sealing system stiffness and damping properties.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Demonstrates that conventional sealing systems lead to excessive oscillations and high contact forces (∼10⁴ kN) under seismic excitation, with an SDOF system.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Proposes deformable and dissipative bumpers to control displacements.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Conducts a parametric analysis to optimize bumper stiffness, damping, and gap size.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Confirms, through seismic simulations, that optimized bumpers dissipate energy effectively, minimizing impact velocities and enhancing seismic safety.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 14","pages":"3561-3575"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates its structure-level seismic performance through shake-table tests on a 1/3-scale, two-story LPSC Braced Frame (LPSC-BF).

The test building consistently achieved immediate occupancy performance, with plastic deformations confined to the steel dissipaters in the LPSC braces. These steel dissipaters were easily replaceable, enabling rapid post-earthquake repair. Despite a minor loss in prestressing force, the residual drift remained minimal throughout testing. The direction with hinged column bases exhibited a uniform drift distribution, whereas the direction with rotationally restrained bases showed a concentration of drift at the first story.

To address this challenge, this study investigates controlled rocking isolation systems (CRIS) with flag-shaped (FS) hysteretic devices. An analytical model is developed for elastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators (representing elastic low-to-medium rise frames) fixed on CRIS with FS hysteresis. A practical application using NiTi shape-memory alloy (SMA)-based rocking columns is proposed to realize the intended FS behavior. The analytical model is validated through comparisons with a newly developed finite element model in OpenSees. Dimensional analysis is employed to reduce the number of governing variables in the equations of motion, thereby facilitating the identification of fundamental similarities in seismic responses across different structural scales and loading conditions. Both case-to-case and statistical comparisons confirm the accuracy of the proposed model. Based on the validated model, parametric studies are performed to examine the effects of varying FS hysteretic parameters and seismic input characteristics on the structural seismic performance. The results further confirm that CRIS exhibit enhanced dynamic stability relative to FRIS. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve a balance between controlled rocking and minimized superstructure demand for CRIS with FS hysteresis.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 13","pages":"3422-3441"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional machine learning (ML) models have demonstrated powerful capabilities for predicting structural seismic demand. However, their difficulty in accurately capturing latent system nonlinearity and the challenges associated with quantifying the impact of pulse effects on structural seismic demand complicate their application in practical engineering. This study proposes an efficient, high-precision, and highly interpretable physic-law-integrated neural network (PLNN) method. It introduces a novel physic-law model (PLM), which establishes the relationship between the normalized period (pulse to structural fundamental period ratio) and seismic demand. In addition, this research examines and quantifies the effects of column properties and pulse attributes on the characteristic coefficients of the PLM using an artificial neural network model (ANN). This method provides a PLNN model for estimating seismic demand based on the structural parameters, material attributes, and seismic characteristics by integrating the ANN model with the PLM. The ability and stability of the PLNN are evaluated by comparing its prediction performance with that of a traditional ML model. The results indicated that the proposed PLNN model maintains high prediction accuracy and significantly enhances computational efficiency. The PLNN model in this research requires 10 neurons to achieve optimal fitting goodness, one-third of the number required by the corresponding ANN model. In addition, the accuracy of the PLNN model is twice that of the ANN model in small sample settings, indicating the stability of the PLNN.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 13","pages":"3379-3397"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145102237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the incorporation of motion-limiting stoppers introduces nonlinear effects that alter the system's inherent frequency and damping characteristics, ultimately leading to detuning and compromised control effectiveness. To address this issue, a TMD with piecewise stiffness-damping (PSDTMD) is proposed to optimize the TMDs with limiting stoppers. Numerical simulation results indicate that the classical linear method fails to design the PSDTMD parameters. Considering the nonlinearity of the PSDTMD, the decoupled motion equation for the PSDTMD is first obtained, and then its frequency response equation is analytically derived using the averaging method. By determining the frequency that maximizes the displacement of the PSDTMD, the analytical optimal frequency ratio is derived from the frequency response equation, and the optimal damping is discussed through comparisons with the classical linear design. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the PSDTMD using the novel design method is investigated using a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure and a nine-story benchmark structure. The control performance of the PSDTMD designed by the novel method is compared to that designed by the classical linear method. Results show that the control performance of the PSDTMD designed by the novel method is greatly improved. Besides, results show that the PSDTMD can significantly reduce the tuned mass stroke compared to the conventional TMD. In conclusion, the novel design method can consider the adverse effects of the viscoelastic motion-limiting stoppers and improve the control performance of TMDs, which is meaningful for the engineering application of TMDs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 13","pages":"3341-3355"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145102347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the seismic performance of step-back reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures through experimental tests and numerical simulations. Shaking table tests were conducted on two 1/8-scale models: one representing a step-back RC frame and the other a conventional structure. The comparison focused on failure patterns, dynamic properties, and structural responses, including acceleration, deformation, torsional effects, and story shear. The results show that the superstructure of the step-back structure model suffers more severe damage with a partial column hinge failure mechanism. The damage to columns in the stilted story and the first story of the superstructure is uneven. In particular, the torsional response of the stilted story is particularly significant. The shear force in the stilted story increases significantly, indicating an apparent redistribution of internal forces. Moreover, a 3D numerical simulation model of the tested step-back structure was established and validated. The influence of lateral stiffness in the stilted story on the seismic response was investigated. The results show that the reduced lateral stiffness in the stilted story leads to a reduced internal force redistribution of columns in the stilted story, with seismic damage being shifted downwards and concentrated in the shortest column. The torsional effect tends to increase, which may be due to the reduced torsional stiffness of the stilted story.

Three different beam-column joint configurations were investigated. The first one was a two-dimensional subassembly serving as a reference. Two unloaded transverse beams were added in the second specimen, while the third one additionally incorporated a monolithically cast slab. The specimens were subjected to unidirectional, quasi-static cyclic loads. In this retrofit solution, steel diagonals are post-installed onto the column and beam to create a new force path around the joint and thereby relocate the plastic hinge away from the joint to the beam. The haunch elements were connected to the column and beam with bonded anchors. The results showcased an upgraded seismic performance of the beam-column joints in terms of stiffness, strength, and ductility compared to their as-built counterparts. The results were evaluated in terms of cyclic load-displacement behaviour, energy dissipation, crack development in concrete, strain development in reinforcing bars and in steel diagonals, as well as qualitative force distribution within the anchor group. The redistribution of forces within the anchor group, an increase in anchorage capacity when the slab was present, as well as the vulnerability of a shear failure in the column due to the slab's participation in flexure constituted the main findings of this study.
