Aug 18, 2015
Sudden movement of earth surface is called Earthquakes
The structures able to resist earthquake induced vibration is known as earthquake resistant structures
Such design is called Earthquake resistant designs
INTRODUCTION
NATURAL ACTIVITIES Due to movement of
tectonic plates Due to faults present
beneath the earthHUMAN ACTIVITIES Construction of dams Ground water extraction Skyscrapers Fracking and Injection wells
WHY DO EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN?
Shaking Ground moves in the same place Land slides Ground is moved to some another place Liquifaction Strength of the ground is reduced causing buildings to sink
HOW EARTHQUAKES AFFECT BUILDINGS?
Ground acceleration and building damage
The damage that a building suffers primarily depend not on displacement but on acceleration
Building stiffness Taller buildings are more flexible
than shorter buildings Ductility Ductility is the ability to undergo
deformation Damping Moves forward and backward
HOW BUILDINGS RESPONED TO EARTHQUAKES?
BASE ISOLATION DEVICES
Base isolated structure is supported by a series of bearing pads which are placed between building and building foundation
Lead rubber bearing is sandwiched between two steel plates
HOW DO YOU MADE AN EARTHQUAKE PROOF BUILDING?
building is supported by bearing pads that have a curved surface and low friction
building is free to slide on the bearings
SPERICAL SLIDING ISOLATION SYSTEMS
Reduce the building acceleration by ¼ the acceleration of fixed base building
Acceleration decreased because the base isolation system lengthens the building's period of vibration.
Rubber is highly elastic so reduce the damage
Converts the kinetic energy as heat
RESPONCE OF BASE ISOLATION BUILDING
Also called energy dissipation devices
Which absorb vibrations caused due to earthquakes
TYPES Viscous dampers Reduce the vibrations by fluid action Tuned mass dampers Reduce the vibrations by harmonic
action
DAMPERS
Also known as a harmonic absorber
Mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations by harmonic motions
Prevent discomfort and damage
It is a Lightweight component COMPONENTS Spring Oscillating Mass Viscodamper
TUNED MASS DAMPERS
We are only hope of tomorrow’s constructions.
