2. Introduction
Ductile Concrete Moment
Resisting Frame Structure
(Parking Garage) that collapsed
during Northridge Earthquake
•Tremendous deformation Capacity in the Peripheral Columns
( Not Sufficiently Detailed to accommodate large Inelastic Deformations Demand…)
• So it is utmost important to have good and efficient structural control system.
4. WIND RESISTANT DESIGN
• Excitation is an applied Pressure or Force on the Facade
• Loading is Dynamic but Response is nearly Static for most Structures
• Structures deforms due to Applied force
• Deformations are monotonic (unidirectional)
• Structure is Designed to respond Elastically under Factored Loads
• The controlling Life Safety limit state is STRENGTH

6. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN
• Excitation is an Applied Displacement at the Base
• Loading and Response are Truly Dynamic
• Structural Systems deforms as a result of Inertial Forces
• Structure is designed to respond Inelastically under Factored Loads
• Controlling Life Safety limit is DEFORMABILITY
• Enough Strength is provided to ensure that Inelastic deformation demands do
not exceed deformation Capacity.

12. Structural Control Systems
• Energy absorption or dissipation devices
• by increasing stiffness (absorption)
• by improving dynamic performance (dissipation)

14. Modern Methods
Base Isolation
• Introduces Flexibility in building
• Building is rested on flexible pads
• When earthquake strikes building does
not move
• It is suitable for hard soil only
15. Types of Base Isolator
Elastomeric and Lead Rubber Bearing
• Frequently used for base isolation
• Made of rubber sandwiched together within steel
• Very stiff and strong in vertical direction
• Flexible in horizontal direction
16. Types of Base Isolator
Spherical Sliding Isolation
• It uses bearing pads that have a curved surface and low
friction materials similar to Teflon
• During earthquake building is free to slide both
horizontally and vertically
• It returns to its original position as earthquake stops
30. Friction Damper
• Friction provides Excellent mechanisms for Energy Dissipation and has
been used from many years in automotive Brakes to dissipate Kinetic
Energy of Motion.
• The friction damper consists of diagonal brace elements with a friction interface at
their intersection point, which are connected together by horizontal and vertical link
elements.
• These link arms ensure that when the load is applied to a device via the braces is
sufficient to initiate slip on tension diagonal, then compression diagonal will also slip
an equal amount in opposite direction.
• The friction resistance of the device requires a normal force on the sliding interface,
and this is achieved through a bolt at the intersection of the diagonal arms.

Dissipation of energy input to a structure from an earthquake is through inelastic
deformation of metals.
