This document provides an overview of earthquake resistant design philosophy and concepts in building codes. It discusses key topics such as:
- The goal of earthquake resistant rather than earthquake proof design, allowing some damage to occur and dissipate energy.
- Designing structures to resist minor, moderate, and major earthquakes without collapse through ductility and overstrength.
- Methods of seismic analysis including static coefficient and response spectrum approaches.
- Factors influencing earthquake forces such as seismic hazard, structural properties, and performance objectives.
- Detailing requirements for ductile moment frames and bracing systems.
Pushover is a static-nonlinear analysis method where a structure is subjected to gravity loading and a monotonic displacement-controlled lateral load pattern which continuously increases through elastic and inelastic behavior until an ultimate condition is reached. Lateral load may represent the range of base shear induced by earthquake loading, and its configuration may be proportional to the distribution of mass along building height, mode shapes, or another practical means.
The static pushover analysis is becoming a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. The expectation is that the pushover analysis will provide adequate information on seismic demands imposed by the design ground motion on the structural system and its components. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the basic concepts on which the pushover analysis can be based, assess the accuracy of pushover predictions, identify conditions under which the pushover will provide adequate information and, perhaps more importantly, identify cases in which the pushover predictions will be inadequate or even misleading.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF G+3 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING BY S.MAHAMMAD FROM RAJIV GAND...Mahammad2251
Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The foremost basic in
structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz., Slabs,
Beams, Columns and Footings. In order to design them, it is important to first obtain the plan of the
particular building. Thereby depending on the suitability; plan layout of beams and the position of
columns are fixed.
The Pushover Analysis from basics - Rahul LeslieRahul Leslie
Pushover analysis has been in the academic-research arena for quite long. The papers published in this field usually deals mostly with proposed improvements to the approach, expecting the reader to know the basics of the topic... while the common structural design practitioner, not knowing the basics, is left out from participating in those discussions. Here I’m making an effort to bridge that gap by explaining the Pushover analysis, from basics, in its simplicity.

ANALYSIS OF WIND & EARTHQUAKE LOAD FOR DIFFERENT SHAPES OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGIAEME Publication
Modern tall buildings have efficient structural systems, and utilize high-strength materials, resulting in reduced building height, and thus, become more slender and flexible with low damping. These flexible buildings are very sensitive to wind excitation and earthquake load causing discomfort to the building occupants. Therefore, in order to mitigate such an excitation and to improve the performance of tall buildings against wind loads and earthquake loads, many researches and studies have been performed. Early integration of aerodynamic shaping, wind engineering considerations,
and structural system selections play a major role in the architectural design of a tall building in order to mitigate the building response to the wind excitations.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
2. Earthquake Resistant Design Pholisophy
Earthquake Loads on building according to NBC105
and comparison with IS1893:2002
Behavior of RC structure during Earthquake Loading
Content
8. Why ?
Life safety criteria : If the building has not partly or
fully collapsed, life is saved
Reparability criteria : If the building is still
standing, it can be repaired and/or strengthened
10. Design Philosophy
a)Under minor shaking, structural members should not be
damaged; however building parts that do not carry load may
sustain repairable damage.
11. Design Philosophy
b) Structure should be able to resist occasional moderate
ground shaking without significant damage
12. Design Philosophy
c) Structure should be able to resist major earthquakes without
collapse
14. Earthquake Resistant Design
No earthquake-proof buildings that will not get
damaged even during the strong earthquake -
Instead, earthquake resistant building.
such buildings resist the effects of ground shaking,
although they may get damaged severely but
would not collapse during the strong earthquake.
Thus, safety of people and contents is assured in
earthquake-resistant buildings, and thereby a
disaster is avoided.
This is a major objective of seismic design codes
throughout the world.
15. Damage - Unavoidable
Different types of damage occur in
buildings during earthquakes. Some of
these cracks are acceptable (in terms of
both their size and location), while others
are not.
earthquake resistant design involves
controlling the damage to acceptable levels
at a reasonable cost.
Damages during earthquakes should be of the acceptable variety,
and also that they occur at the right places and in right amounts.
To save the building from collapsing, you need to allow some
pre-determined parts to undergo the acceptable type and level of
damage.
16. What does this mean ?
Buildings and other structures are designed for much lesser
load than imparted by a large earthquakes
Why?
– Affordability
– Large earthquakes are rare
– Properly designed Buildings has Ductility, Redundancy
– Building has over strength due to considered safety factors
in loads and materials
18. Recommended seismic behavior objectives, Vision 2000
= Basic or conventional facility, such as offices or homes
= Essential or hazardous facility or component, such as telephone
switchboards and buildings with toxic materials stored inside
= Critical security, as in hospitals and fire stations, Transmission tower
ATC (Report 33-03). Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings. 75%
Submittal, Third Draft, 3 Volumes. Redwood City, 1995. NEHRP Guidelines
for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings (FEMA 273)
20. In Ordinary Load design (dead/ Imposed, wind
etc), it is expected that structure will essentially
remain elastic even during severe most design
loading
Ordinary Load vs Earthquake Load
Where as in earthquake resistant design it is
expected that structure could go in inelastic
regime and suffer severe damage during a major
earthquake
21. Gravity Loading
Dead Load: self-weight, superimposed
load - The dead loading is calculated from
the designed member sizes and estimated
material densities
Imposed load: occupancy type - The
magnitudes of live loading specified in the
codes are estimates based on a combination
of experience and results of typical field
surveys
22. Lateral Loading
Earth pressure – Predominantly static
type of loading; calculated from
density and depth
Wind – Dynamic - pressure on
exposed surface area
Earthquake – Dynamic - Random
motion of the ground at the base
23. Earthquake vs. Wind Loading
Dynamic actions are caused on
buildings by both wind and
earthquakes.
But, design for wind forces and for
earthquake effects are distinctly
different.
25. Design for Wind Loading
wind design:
– is force-type loading - use force
design, wherein the building is
subjected
to a pressure on its exposed surface
area.
26. Design for Earthquake Loading
the building is subjected to random
motion of the ground at its base -
which induces inertia forces in the
building that in turn cause stresses.
Displacement loading
27.
28. Earthquake Loading
Concentrates particularly on the translational
inertia forces, whose effects on a building are
normally more significant than the vertical or
rotational shaking component
Earthquake loading
consists of the inertial
forces of the building
mass that result from
the shaking of its
foundation by a
seismic activity.
29. Earthquake induced inertia force:
• The mass of the building.
• Building Stiffness.
Elastic behavior without damage render the
project economically unviable.
As a consequence, it may be necessary for the
structure to undergo damage and thereby
dissipate the energy input to it during the
earthquake.
30. Thus the basic philosophy:
a) Minor (and frequent) shaking with no
damage to structural and non-structural
elements;
b) Moderate shaking with minor damage to
structural elements, and some damage to
non-structural elements; and
c) Severe (and infrequent) shaking with
damage to structural elements, but with NO
collapse (to save life and property
inside/adjoining the building).
31. Buildings are designed only for a fraction
(~8-26%) of the force that they would
experience, if they were designed to remain
elastic during the expected strong ground
shaking, and thereby permitting damage.
But, sufficient initial stiffness is required to be
ensured to avoid structural damage under
minor shaking.
33. The design for only a fraction of the elastic
level of seismic forces is possible, only if the
building can stably withstand large
displacement demand through structural
damage without collapse and undue loss of
strength. (Ductility)
34. It is relatively simple to design structures to
possess certain lateral strength and initial
stiffness by appropriately proportioning the
size and material of the members. But,
achieving sufficient ductility is more involved
and requires extensive laboratory tests on
full-scale specimen to identify preferable
methods of detailing.
35. Thus, seismic design balances reduced cost
and acceptable damage, to make the
project viable. This careful balance is arrived
based on extensive research and detailed
post-earthquake damage assessment
studies.
design against earthquake effects is called
as earthquake-resistant design and not
earthquake-proof design.
36. An earthquake-resistant building has four
virtues
– Good Seismic Configuration
– Minimum Lateral Stiffness
– Minimum Lateral Strength
– Good Overall Ductility
37. Steps
– Configuration (simple geometry, plan
aspect ratio, slenderness ration)
– Adopt a structural system that will resist
the vertical and lateral loads offering
direct load paths in both plan
directions of the building
38. Steps
– Identify a desired collapse mechanism
– analysis
– Verify, if the desired mechanism is
generated in the building (push over/
time history)
– Detailing
39. Static - Seismic Coefficient Method
• Simple regular configuration buildings, H < 40m
Dynamic - Response Spectrum Method
• Irregular buildings in plan and/ or elevation
• Buildings with abrupt change in strength and
stiffness in plan and elevation
• Buildings with unusual shape, size, importance
Dynamic - Time History Method

42. Fundamental Time Period
The time taken (in seconds) for each complete
cycle of oscillation (i.e., one complete back-and-

“T” depends on the building flexibility and mass.
More the flexibility, the longer is the T, and more
the mass, the longer is the T.
In general, taller buildings are more flexible and
have larger mass, and therefore have a longer T.
On the contrary, low- to medium-rise buildings
generally have shorter T.
