Abstract:

In today&rsquo<br>s world, buried structures are used for a variety of purposes in many areas such as transportation, underground depot areas, metro stations and water transportation. The serviceability of these structures is crucial in many cases following an earthquake<br>that is, the earthquake should not impose such damage leading to the loss of serviceability of the structure. The seismic design methodology utilized for these structures differs in many ways from the above ground structures. The most commonly utilized approach in dynamic analysis of underground structures is to neglect the

Abstract:

Tunnels, culverts, and subway stations are the main parts of an integrated infrastructure system. Most of them are constructed by the cut-and-cover method at shallow depths (mainly lower than 30 m) of soil deposits, where large-scale seismic ground deformation can occur with lower stiffness and strength of the soil. Therefore, the transverse racking deformation (one of the major seismic ground deformation) due to soil shear deformations should be included in the seismic design of underground structures using cost- and time-efficient methods that can achieve robustness of design and are easily

Abstract:

Underground structures are generally assumed to be much safer to earthquake loading, compared to above surface structures. However, many large underground structures have witnessed great damage in recent earthquakes. Thus underground structures in earthquake prone zones should be designed to withstand both static overburden loads and earthquake loads. In this thesis, analytical and numerical analyses of circular tunnels subjected to different types of waves are firstly performed. Then a systematic approach for the dynamic analysis of large size underground openings such as powerhouses and hydr

Abstract:

Seismic full waveform inversion (waveform tomography) is a method to reconstruct the underground velocity field in high resolution using seismic data. The method was first introduced during the 1980’s and became computationally feasible during the late 1990’s when the method was implemented in the frequency domain. This work presents three case studies and one synthetic benchmark of full waveform inversion applications. Two of the case studies are focused on time-lapse cross-well and 2D reflection seismic data sets acquired at the Ketzin CO2 geological storage site. These studies are parts of

Abstract:

Buried pipelines are tubular structures that are used for transportation of important liquid materials and gas in order to provide safety for human life. During an earthquake, imposed loads from soil deformations on concrete pipelines may cause severe damages, possibly causing disturbance in vital systems, such as cooling of nuclear power facilities. The high level of safety has caused a demand for reliable seismic analyses, also for structures built in the regions that have not traditionally been considered as highly seismically active.

Seismic tomography is a promising tool to help understand and evaluate the stability of a rock mass in mining excavations. Lab measurements give evidence that velocities of seismic wave propagations increase in high stress areas of rock samples. It is well known that closing effects of cracks under compressive pressures tend to increase the effective elastic moduli of rocks. Tomography can map stress transfer and redistribution and further forecast rock burst potential and other seismic hazards, which are influenced by mining.

Earthquake has always been a hazard for civil structures and keeping the structures integrity during and after an earthquake is of vital importance.

The earthquake resistant design of structures requires that structures should sustain, safely, any ground motions of an intensity that might occur during their construction or in their normal use. However ground motions are unique in the effects they have on structural responses. The most accurate analysis procedure for structures subjected to strong ground motions is the time-history analysis. This analysis involves the integration of the equations of motion of a multi-degree-of-freedom system, MDOF, in the time domain using a stepwise solution in order to represent the actual response of a s

Abstract:

Mining induced seismic activity and rockbursting are critical concerns for many underground operations. Seismic activity may arise from the crushing of highly stressed volumes of rock around mine openings or from shear motion on planes of weakness. Shear-slip on major planes of weakness such as faults, shear zones and weak contacts has long been recognized as a dominant mode of failure in underground mines. In certain circumstances, it can generate large seismic events and induce substantial damage to mine openings. The Big Bell Gold mine began experiencing major seismic activity and resultant

Inelastic behavior is inevitable in most structures subjected to strong earthquake forces. Any rational design procedure, therefore, should attempt to estimate the amount of inelastic behavior to be expected in each member of the structure. Methods of dynamic response analysis based on linear elastic assumptions can be carried out conveniently and economically. Such methods, however, can not provide any direct information on the inelastic behavior of the structure. On the other hand, time-step analysis programs can 'truly' simulate the non-linear behavior of the structure but are seldom used b

For this, the linear time-story analysis (LTHA) of these has been carried out imposing seismic solicitations in two orthogonal directions.

A probabilistic seismic risk assessment methodology is proposed, from which the expected annualised financial loss (EAL) of a structure can be calculated. EAL provides a consistent basis for comparison of DAD frame systems with state-of-practice ductile monolithic construction. Such comparison illustrates the superior perform

Abstract:

Nonlinear structures, when subjected to multiple ground motion records that are scaled to consistent ground motion intensity show significant variation in their response. This effect of ground motion randomness on the variation of structural response is defined as Record-to-Record (RTR) Variability. Ground motion characteristics that contribute to this variability in response includes the variation of signal composition (frequency content) with time (spectral nonstationarity).The phenomenon of moving resonance which occurs when the frequency content of the ground motion shifts in a similar man

Abstract:

Seismic events around the globe directly affect all ranges of structures, from complex and expensive ‘skyscrapers’ to simple frame structures, the latter making up a higher proportion of the number of structures affected as they are a much more common type of structure. The impact of a seismic event can be devastating, especially if adequate predictions of their impact and imposed structural response are not made during the design stage of the structure. Knowing what response to expect allows the engineer to design the structure to survive an event and protect the occupants. The structural res

Abstract:

A new seismic protection strategy called the hybrid passive control device (HPCD) has been developed which combines typical passive energy dissipation devices. It consists of a high damping rubber (HDR) sandwich damper in series with a buckling restrained brace (BRB). The HPCD provides energy dissipation at small deformations without significantly decreasing the structural period. The significant energy dissipation capacity of a BRB is provided for significant seismic events in the second phase. The transition between these two phases consists of an increasing stiffness as the device transitio
