Seismic analysis of high damping rubber bearings for base isolationeSAT Journals
Abstract
Base isolation is a mechanism that provides earthquake resistance to the new structure. The base isolation system decouples the building from the horizontal ground motion induced by earthquake, and offers very stiff vertical components to the base level of the superstructure in connection to substructure (foundation). It shifts the fundamental lateral period, dissipates the energy in damping, and reduces the amount of the lateral forces that transferred to the building, inter-story drift, and the floor acceleration.
The work deals with modelling and finite element analysis of a high damping rubber bearing in ANSYS 12.0. A displacement controlled transient analysis was done to analyse the behaviour of the isolator during earthquakes.

Abstract
Base isolation or seismic base isolation is an effective means for protection of structures, its contents and its occupants during the event of an earthquake. The principle of base isolation is vibration isolation. It decouples the building from damaging action of the earthquake. The isolator partially reflects and partially absorbs input seismic energy before it gets transmitted to the superstructure. Laminated Rubber Bearing Isolators are placed between the superstructure and foundation, which reduces the horizontal stiffness of the system. It thereby increases the time period of the structure and decreases the spectral acceleration of the structure. The superstructure acts like a rigid body, thus inter storey drift is reduced. Such type of isolators are used in practice in India, yet a proper design procedure based on IS code is unavailable. The paper presents design procedure for LRB adopting the procedure of IS 1893:2002 (Part-1) for earthquake resistant design of buildings. Design charts have been developed and presented in this paper which gives isolator diameter and rubber thickness as design outputs. The design procedure requires different input parameters like fundamental period and damping of the fixed base structure, axial load on the column, seismic zone, type of soil and shore hardness of rubber. These design charts enable the designer to easily arrive at the isolator parameters to achieve seismic isolation. Using the charts, case study has been done using SAP2000. Building displacement and acceleration are compared for model with and without base isolator. Comparative study of linear and non-linear base isolators has also been carried out. Linear and non-linear time history analysis has been done using El Centro earthquake.

Comparision of building for sesmic response by using base isolationeSAT Journals
Abstract
Throughout historic time Earthquakes are one of the natural hazards that occur due to sudden violent movement of earth’s
surface which causes damage to property, especially to man-made structures . Base isolation is one of the most powerful tools of
earthquake engineering pertaining to the passive structural vibration control technologies. The application of the base isolation
techniques to protect structures against damage from earthquake attacks has been considered as one of the most effective
approaches and has gained increasing acceptance during the last two decades. This paper present three dimensional nonlinear
time history analysis is performed on r/c building by the use of computer program SAP 2000 v12.0.0. The dynamic analysis of the
structure has been carried out and the performance of the building with and without isolator is studied. The main objective here is
to make seismic response control by providing Isolators and comparing between the fixed based and isolated base building.
Rubber bearing and Friction pendulum bearing are used

Seismic Analysis of Framed R.C. Structure with Base Isolation Technique using...ijtsrd
A Natural Calamity like an earthquake has taken a million lives throughout in our past. The force induced due to earthquake is dangerous and last for short duration of time. There are various techniques that can be used resist the force of an earthquake such as base isolation, bracing etc. The principle of base isolation is to isolate the structure from the motion of an earthquake and protect the structure and also reduce the force being transmitted to the building due to earthquake. For this study, G 13 storied R.C. frame building is considered and time history analysis is carried out using E Tabs 2017 software, and also study investigates structural behavior of multi story building with or without base isolation subjected earthquake ground motion. The Lead Rubber Bearing LRB is designed as per UBC 97 code and the same was used for the analysis of base isolation system. Here we shall studying earthquake resistivity of structure by analyzing the base isolation structure to compare its structural performance with fixed base isolation.

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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.
