The Finite-Difference Modelling of Earthquake Motions: Waves and Ruptures
Author: Peter Moczo, Dr Jozef Kristek, Dr Martin Gális | Size: 7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Year: 2014 | pages: 394 | ISBN: 9781107028814, 1107028817
Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique provides the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to FD and its applications to earthquake motion. Using a systematic tutorial approach, the book requires only undergraduate degree-level mathematics and provides a user-friendly explanation of the relevant theory. It explains FD schemes for solving wave equations and elastodynamic equations of motion in heterogeneous media, and provides an introduction to the rheology of viscoelastic and elastoplastic media. It also presents an advanced FD time-domain method for efficient numerical simulations of earthquake ground motion in realistic complex models of local surface sedimentary structures. Accompanied by a suite of online resources to help put the theory into practice, this is a vital resource for professionals and academic researchers using numerical seismological techniques, and graduate students in earthquake seismology, computational and numerical modelling, and applied mathematics.

This 2009 book teaches the principles of soil mechanics to undergraduates, along with other properties of engineering materials, to which the students are exposed simultaneously. Using the critical state method of soil mechanics to study the mechanical behavior of soils requires the student to consider density alongside effective stresses, permitting the unification of deformation and strength characteristics. This unification aids the understanding of soil mechanics. This book explores a one-dimensional theme for the presentation of many of the key concepts of soil mechanics - density, stress, stiffness, strength, and fluid flow - and includes a chapter on the analysis of one-dimensional consolidation, which fits nicely with the theme of the book. It also presents some theoretical analyses of soil-structure interaction, which can be analyzed using essentially one-dimensional governing equations. Examples are given at the end of most chapters, and suggestions for laboratory exercises or demonstrations are given.

Performance of buildings during the 2001 Bhuj earthquake
Author: Jag Mohan Humar, David Lau, and Jean-Robert Pierre | Size: 4 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Can. J. Civ. Eng. 28: 979–991 (2001) | Year: 2001 | pages: 13
Abstract: The performance of buildings during the January 26, 2001, earthquake in the Kachchh region of the province
of Gujarat in India is discussed. A majority of the buildings in the earthquake region were either of load-bearing masonry
or reinforced concrete framed structure. Most of the masonry buildings were built with random or coursed stone
walls without any reinforcement and heavy clay tile roofing supported on wooden logs. A large number of such buildings
collapsed leading to widespread destruction and loss of life. Many reinforced concrete frame buildings had infill
masonry walls except in the first storey, which was reserved for parking. As would be expected, the open first storey
suffered severe damage or collapsed. Observations of failures confirmed the vulnerability of some structural details that
are known to lead to distress. However, an important observation to come out of the earthquake was that masonry
infills, even when not tied to the surrounding frame, could save the building from collapse, provided such infills are
uniformly distributed throughout the height so that abrupt changes in stiffness and strength did not occur.

Some Remarks on the Seismic Demand Estimation in the Context of Vulnerability Assessment of Large Steel Storage Tank Facilities
Author: Antonio Di Carluccio and Giovanni Fabbrocino | Size: 2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: International Scholarly Research Network ISRN Civil Engineering Volume 2012, Article ID 271414, 12 pages doi:10.5402/2012/271414 | Year: 2012 | pages: 13
The seismic behavior of steel tanks is relevant in industrial risk assessment because collapse of these structures may trigger other catastrophic phenomena due to loss of containment. Therefore, seismic assessment should be focused on for leakage-based limit states. From a seismic structural perspective, damages sufferedby tanks are generally related to large axial compressive stresses, which can induce shell buckling near the base and large displacements of unanchored structures resulting in the detachment of piping. This paper approaches the analysis of seismic response of sliding, nonuplifting, unanchored tanks subject to seismic actions. Simplified methods for dynamic analysis and seismic demand estimation in terms of base displacement and compressive shell stress are analyzed. In particular, attention is focussed on some computational issues related to the solution of the dynamic problem and on the extension of the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) technique to storage tanks.

The "uplift mecbanismn, developed in response to large overtuniing moment, is the dominant response behaviour of unanchored liquid-tank systems under seismic load. Associated wi t h the base plate uplift , significant deformation and intensive stresses are developed in the tank structure. intense iiquid motion, both the impulsive and the convective component, is also induced fiom the coupling effect. The uplift mechanism is highly nonlinear. Its significance and mechanism in contributing to the seismic behaviour is not fully understood. In this thesis, the seismic behaviour time history of an unanchored broad liquid- tank system is analyzed with the focus on the uplift mechanism. The 1940 El Centro
and the 1994 Northridge earthquakes are used as the ground excitations. The up- lift phenomenon of the base plate, its effects on the shell wall deformation and the dynamic characteristics of the liquid-tank system are studied. The liquid motion developed in the partially uplifted liquid- tank system and the corresponding hydro- dynamic loads are analyzed. The intensive stress developed in the tank structure and the failure mechanism are discussed. A parametric study is conducted to define the effects of the properties of the liquid-tank system on the uplift rnechanism. The seismic behaviour tirne history of mode1 liquid-tank systems with variant structural stiffness and liquid height to tank radius ratio are studied. By varying these parameters, the uplift behaviour, liquid motion and structural stress of the liquid-tank system are carefully compared 2nd deterrnined.
