Rajendran","doi":"10.1142/s1793431122500051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s1793431122500051","url":null,"abstract":"Ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the beam column joints are the two prominent characteristics which govern the stability of the entire structure constructed in the seismic prone areas. In this paper, the effect of potassium-activated geopolymer concrete in the exterior beam column joint application is investigated under low frequency cyclic loading. Numerical analysis has been done by using the finite element software Abaqus and compared with the experimental work. From the load deformation relationship, parametric studies are carried out in the aspects of ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity, drift ratio and cracking pattern. The use of potassium-activated geopolymer technology in the exterior beam column joint application resulted in the improved ductility, energy dissipation capacity with superior ultimate load carrying capacity of 1.05% over conventional cement reinforced concrete beam column joints with special confining reinforcement confirmed by IS 13920 due to the enormous polymerization activated by high molecular potassium ions. There is an improved energy dissipation capacity of 2.78% of potassium-based geopolymer specimen resulting in lesser number of non-structural cracks and 11.26% more deformation under 11.96% enlarged drift ratio than the conventional reinforced concrete specimen. From the observed results, it is clearly noted that the implementation of potassium-activated green polymer technology in the beam column joints possessed enhanced ductility characteristics to protect the structure susceptible to seismic environment and resulted in innovative, economical and sustainable mode of seismic-resistant building construction.","PeriodicalId":50213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81380069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tanaka","doi":"10.1142/s179343112250004x","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s179343112250004x","url":null,"abstract":"This study addresses the vivid internal flow structure variations through horizontal double-layered vegetation (HDLV) under subcritical flow conditions for an inland tsunami. The computational domain was built in ANSYS Workbench, while post-processing and simulation were performed using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool FLUENT with the three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds stress model (RSM). Two alternative arrangements of HDLV were considered, namely Configuration 1 (short submergent layer [Formula: see text] emergent layer (Lt)) and Configuration 2 (tall emergent layer [Formula: see text] submergent layer (Ls)) along with varying flow depths. Strong inflections in velocity and Reynolds stress profiles were observed at the interface near the top of Ls, Whereas, these profiles were almost constant from bed to the top of vegetations inside Lt. A shear layer zone was formed above the top of Ls, which extended to the downstream region in Configuration 2 while it was restricted by Lt in Configuration 1. The normal Reynolds stresses at the bed were significantly greater within Ls in Configuration 2 than inside Lt in Configuration 1. Hence, Configuration 1 was performed relatively better than Configuration 2 in terms of reducing velocity within the vegetation, while Configuration 2 played a key role in attenuating the increased velocities and confining the shear layer above the short submergent layer.","PeriodicalId":50213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78925765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Basu","doi":"10.1142/s1793431122500038","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s1793431122500038","url":null,"abstract":"Recorded ground motion is nonstationary in both intensity and frequency contents. Two methodologies were reported by the authors elsewhere for generating spatially varying ground motion (SVGM), namely, (i) auto-spectral density (ASD)-based framework, and (ii) evolutionary power-spectral density (EPSD)-based framework. While the former framework imparts nonstationarity through a uniform modulation (that accounts for nonstationarity only in intensities), the latter framework accounts for nonstationarity in both intensity and frequency contents. Reported EPSD-based framework was modeled through a decay function and a random component and was investigated only in the context of horizontal ground motion. Reported EPSD-based framework made two strong assumptions that need further investigation: (i) spatial variation of the random component was assumed to be frequency independent; and (ii) phase-structure of the ground excitation simulated around the reference station (with seed motion) was assumed to be same as that of the seed motion. This paper investigates the possible impact of these two assumptions on the simulated SVGM through appropriately revising the framework and introducing the phase-structure accordingly. Possible effects of the phase-structure on structural demand are investigated through an idealized long-span bridge. Revised EPSD-based framework is next assessed against the vertical recordings of SMART1 array along with the auto-spectral density (ASD) framework. Though spectral representation is nearly identical in both the frameworks, the acceleration time series simulated using the revised EPSD-based framework matches the recorded data better when compared with the ASD-based framework. Possible effect of spatially varying vertical ground motion on the seismic design is investigated through the same idealized bridge model. Significant increase in the demand of axial force in piers and mid-span moment in the deck are observed. Although these inferences are contingent on the idealized example considered for illustration, the spatially varying vertical ground motion is expected to contribute significantly to the seismic design of long-span bridges.","PeriodicalId":50213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79488152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the near-source observed waveforms for the intensity prediction technology used are incomplete, we synthesize the seismic waveform into observation waveforms. An accurate seismic rupture process is necessary to synthesize virtual station observations. So, we should release the rupture process as soon as possible after a large earthquake. Most large earthquakes occur at the junction of two or three tectonic terranes. With violent tectonic movements, fault basins and uplift zones are distributed on the edge of the plateau. With complex structural conditions, the 1D layered half-space velocity structure model could not meet the requirement of earthquake rupture process inversion. It takes much time to calculate 3D Green’s function with a 3D velocity model for the complete waveform inversion of the earthquake rupture process. To rapidly invert the rupture process as accurately as possible, according to the geological conditions of the station, we calculated several Green’s function libraries in advance. We extracted Green’s functions from these libraries for each site based on the sites’ coordinates once an earthquake occurs. The time we spend in extracting Green’s functions from several Green libraries equals that we spend in extracting Green’s functions from one single library. The applicability of this method was tested in the 2017 Jiuzhaigou M6.5 earthquake with complex structural conditions in the mountain uplift zone. With our model, the time we spent in calculating the rupture process was almost the same as that we spent with the 1D velocity structure model, which was far less than that we could have spent in calculating 3D Green’s function. The degree of fitting between the synthetic data and the observation data of our model was much higher than the fitting of the 1D velocity model, which means that the earthquake rupture process we determined was more reliable.","PeriodicalId":50213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82451076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
