Earthquake and effect in building types precaution Aditya Sanyal
The document discusses earthquake resistant buildings. It begins by explaining the causes of earthquakes and how seismic waves travel and are measured. It then discusses plate tectonics theory and the different types of faults that cause earthquakes. The key aspects for earthquake resistant design are discussed - allowing structures to deform without collapsing through ductility and following seismic building codes. Masonry structures need horizontal bands and vertical reinforcement to perform well during quakes. Diaphragms and shear walls are the main lateral load resisting systems to transfer seismic forces safely to the ground.

Taipei 101 is a 101-story skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan that uses several innovative engineering solutions to withstand earthquakes and typhoons. A key feature is a 730-ton steel ball located inside the building that acts as a tuned mass damper, counteracting swaying of the building. The ball hangs inside steel cables and has shock absorbers. This tuned mass damper system helps ensure the structural integrity of Taipei 101 during seismic activity.
Taipei 101 is a 508-meter, 101-story skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan. It features a deep foundation of 380 concrete piles sunk 80 meters into the soft clay soil to withstand earthquakes and typhoons. The building's tuned mass damper, a 736-ton steel sphere suspended from cables, helps counteract wind forces. Construction from 1999-2004 overcame challenges from Taiwan's seismic and weather conditions through a flexible supercolumn system and the world's largest damper.
Seismic retrofitting modifies existing structures to increase their resistance to earthquakes. Common techniques include base isolators, which separate the structure from the ground using flexible bearings; supplementary dampers, which absorb and dissipate vibrational energy; tuned mass dampers, which reduce vibrations; and slosh tanks and active control systems, which also increase damping. The goal of retrofitting is to protect lives and ensure structural survivability, functionality, and integrity for historically significant buildings. Retrofitting techniques have evolved with new materials and provisions, helping structures withstand seismic impacts.
This document summarizes a study analyzing the seismic response of a base isolated building frame compared to a fixed-base building frame. It first reviews previous literature on base isolation systems and their increasing use. It then describes modeling a reinforced concrete frame in SAP2000 software to conduct modal and time-history analyses. Modal analysis found the first natural frequency of the fixed frame. Time-history analysis used ground motion records from the 1994 Northridge earthquake to determine displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses in the frame. The study found lower responses in lower stories for the base isolated frame compared to the fixed frame.

Shear walls are vertical structural elements designed to resist lateral forces like winds and earthquakes. They work by transferring shear forces throughout their height and resisting uplift forces. Properly designed and constructed shear wall buildings are very stable and ductile, providing warnings before collapse during severe earthquakes. Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, plywood, and steel plate shear walls. Shear walls are an effective and efficient way to resist lateral loads in seismic regions.

Seismic Response of Structure with Single Coreijtsrd
Shear walls and outriggers have been used so far to resist the seismic waves of earthquake and heavy winds actions. The complete failure of the structures that has occurred in the past due to catastrophic earthquake may be avoided with the use of shear wall in the structure. The study is concerned with the use of shear wall as a single core in structure that will resist the seismic waves of earthquake. In the present study analysis of RCC building has been carried out by changing the locations of shear walls in the building. The seismic analysis performed is linear dynamic response spectrum analysis using the well known analysis and design software ETABS 16.2.0. Seismic performance of the building has been investigated based on parameters such as strorey drift, base shear and storey displacement.

advanced construction technology - seismic isolation & passive-energy dissipa...nagham ali hasan
Seismic isolation and passive energy dissipation devices are advanced technologies used in housing construction to minimize seismic motion. Seismic isolation structures place quake-absorbing devices like laminated rubber in building foundations to block seismic motions from reaching the building, reducing intensity by up to 80%. Passive energy dissipation devices absorb and dissipate earthquake energy through components like viscous fluid dampers and friction dampers. Reinforced concrete cores running through buildings also increase seismic performance at lower cost. These advanced technologies enhance seismic resistance while reducing potential damage from earthquakes.

This document provides an introduction to seismic design of buildings. It discusses key structural actions like bending moments, shear forces, and ductile behavior that allow structures to deform without losing strength. Response spectra are used to determine design seismic actions based on a structure's dynamic properties and site conditions. Ductile design allows structures to withstand major earthquakes through controlled cracking and yielding. Higher modes of vibration and P-delta effects are also considered in design.
Seismic retrofitting is a collection mitigation technique for earthquake engineering.
It is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquake.
It is of utmost important for historic monuments, areas prone to severe earthquakes and tall or
expensive structures.
The retrofitting techniques are also applicable for other natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes and severe winds from thunderstorms.
Retrofitting proves to be a better economic consideration and immediate shelter to problems
rather than replacement of building.
Seismic Retrofitting and repairs and rehabilitationsKumarS250747
Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion or soil failure due to earthquakes.
There are several techniques which have come forward nowadays by which an existing structures can be modified and make it less prone to earthquakes.
There is no such technique to make the structure fully earthquake proof but seismic performance can be greatly enhanced through proper initial design or subsequent modifications.

Tennis is a racquet sport played between two players or teams of two players each. To start a point, one player serves the ball so that it passes over the net and into the other player's side of the court. The objective is to hit the ball in a way that the opponent cannot make a good return. Points are scored by the opponent failing to return the ball or hitting it out of bounds. Tennis originated in England in the late 19th century and is now an Olympic sport played worldwide at both professional and recreational levels.

Earthquake resistant structure By Engr. Ghulam Yasin Taunsvi
1. Earthquake resistant structure
Earthquake-resistant structures
The resistance structure is structures designed to withstand earthquakes. While no
structure can be entirely immune to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake-resistant
construction is to erect structures that fare better during seismic activity than their conventional
counterparts.
According to building codes, earthquake-resistant structures are intended to withstand the largest
earthquake of a certain probability that is likely to occur at their location. This means the loss of
life should be minimized by preventing collapse of the buildings for rare earthquakes while the
loss of functionality should be limited for more frequent ones.[1]
To combat earthquake destruction, the only method available to ancient architects was to build
their landmark structures to last, often by making them excessively stiff and strong, like the El
Castillo pyramid at Chechen Itza.
Currently, there are several design philosophies in earthquake engineering, making use of
experimental results, computer simulations and observations from past earthquakes to offer the
required performance for the seismic threat at the site of interest. These range from appropriately
sizing the structure to be strong and ductile enough to survive the shaking with an acceptable
damage, to equipping it with base isolation or using structural vibration control technologies to
minimize any forces and deformations. While the former is the method typically applied in most
earthquake-resistant structures, important facilities, landmarks and cultural heritage buildings use
the more advanced (and expensive) techniques of isolation or control to survive strong shaking
with minimal damage. Some of the new trends and/or projects in the field of earthquake
engineering structures are presented below.
Building materials
Based on experience in earthquakes in Eastern European and in Central Asian countries
where precast concrete has been widely used as construction material, it can be concluded that
their seismic performance has been fairly satisfactory. Based on studies in New Zealand, relating
to Christchurch earthquakes, precast concrete designed and installed in accordance with modern
codes performed well. According to the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, precast panel
buildings had good durability during the earthquake in Armenia, compared to precast frame-
panels.

alternative to earthquake-proofing an entire building.
2. Concurrent shake-table testing
Concurrent shake-table testing of two or more building models is a vivid, persuasive and effective
way to validate earthquake engineering solutions experimentally.
Thus, two wooden houses built before adoption of the 1981 Japanese Building Code were moved
to E-Defense for testing (see both pictures aside). The left house was reinforced to enhance its
seismic resistance, while the other one was not. These two models were set on E-Defense platform
and tested simultaneously. Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Although earthquakes can produce more than one kind of shock wave (some travel vertically, some
horizontally, and others in circular patterns), it is horizontal acceleration (the side-to-side
movement of the earth) that causes the greatest amount of severe damage. The concrete foundation
of a building tends to move with these vibrations during a tremor, and if the above-ground portion
of the structure is not firmly secured to the base, the framework can break away . . . resulting, of
course, in partial — or total — collapse.
According to the Uniform Building Code (UBC), which has been adopted widely by inspection
authorities throughout the country as a standard for all new construction, wood-frame structures
with concrete or reinforced masonry foundations must be affixed to their bases by a specific
method: First, anchor bolts of at least 1/2" in diameter (most builders use hardware that's 5/8" in
diameter by 10" long) are embedded vertically 7" or more into the foundation — all along the
perimeter, at intervals of no more than 6' — with a portion of each bolt projecting above the mortar
or concrete. Then the building's sill plates (the bottommost, horizontal wooden members of a frame
structure) are drilled so they'll slip down over the protruding anchor bolts, and once the plates are
set in place — flush against the foundation — nuts are tightened down onto the wood.
This method of anchoring sill plates does keep the boards attached to the foundation during an
earthquake, but it fails to help the structure as a whole absorb and withstand the forces of seismic
shock. However, my technique — a simple variation of the standard procedure — allows a building
to move with its foundation during the course of a quake, and also provides a bit of flexibility and
cushioning between the base and the sill . . . thus offsetting at least some of an upheaval's shearing
effect.
A Construction Technique for Earthquake Resistant Buildings
If you're planning new construction, you may want to incorporate this simple, low-cost technique
for earthquake resistant buildings.
3. Sill-anchoring technique for constructing earthquake resistant buildings.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN TECHNIQUES
The conventional approach to earthquake resistant design of buildings depends upon providing the
building with strength, stiffness and inelastic deformation capacity which are great enough to
withstand a given level of earthquake-generated force. This is generally accomplished through the
selection of an appropriate structural configuration and the careful detailing of structural members,
such as beams and columns, and the connections between them.
But more advanced techniques for earthquake resistance is not to strengthen the building, but
to reduce the earthquake-generated forces acting upon it.
Among the most important advanced techniques of earthquake resistant design and construction
are:
Base Isolation
Energy Dissipation Devices
4. Base Isolation
A base isolated structure is supported by a series of bearing pads which are placed between the
building and the building’s foundation. (See Figure 1.) A variety of different types of base isolation
bearing pads have now been developed.
