Depth Ratio

The design code, Canadian Standard S16.1-1974, permits ultimate strength design steel H columns subjected to axial load and biaxial bending moment. However, this is permitted only for sections in which the flange width to section depth ratio is equal to or greater than 0.8. In this paper a simple modification to the previous formulas is proposed which enables the restriction on flange width to section depth ratio to be removed so that they are also applicable to steel I columns.

Strength Design

The object of this paper is to present charts for the ultimate strength design of L-sections subjected to combined normal force and bending. The method of derivation of these charts is briefly described. It is general and applicable to other odd-shaped sections. It also conforms to the basic assumptions adopted in the CSA Standard A 23.3-1973. The charts can be used either for the determination of the dimensions of the section or for the check of its capacity.

Urethane Elastomer

At the present, base isolation system has been recognized by general earthquake resistant technique since the Great Hanshin Earthquake 1995. The seismic isolation will be aggressively applied to not only architectural and civil structures but also various structures, because the effectiveness on seismic safety had been demonstrated again in the Great East Japan Earthquake. In generally, although the base isolation system is divided into laminated rubber bearing type and friction sliding bearing type. In the case of former type, shape factor, maximum or minimum outer shapes and so on are restricted by the material characteristics in visco-elastic material. In general, the isolation structure is used in high damping rubber. However, we pay attention to base isolation using urethane elastomer. Urethane elastomer has excellent elasticity, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, weather resistance, oil resistance, impact resistance the absorbent, anti-vibration and excellent low-temperature properties. Furthermore, it is possible to impart various characteristics by a combination of isocyanate and polyol and chain extender, requires no large-scale apparatus, it has the advantage molecular design is easy. In previous study, the research and development of laminated type base isolation device using urethane elastomer was carried out to upgrade a seismic safety for various structures. The fundamental characteristics was investigated from several loading test by using various experimental devices, and the design formula for the stiffness and equivalent damping coefficient is formulated as an approximate expression of mechanical characteristics until now. It was confirmed that urethane elastomer is not hardening up to 500% shear strain. Moreover, the experimental examination for aged deterioration in the urethane material has been continuously carried out. As the results, it was confirmed that the laminated type seismic isolation device using urethane elastomer is possible to develop as a practicable device from the stable mechanical properties as considering in design step. In this study, the small-scale laminated type base isolation device using urethane elastomer is advanced to the direction of further technical upgrading and of scale down for light-weight structure as a sever rack. The first stage, basic properties of the urethane elastomer has been investigated by loading test. Furthermore, the design equation is created by loading test using urethane elastomer. The validity of the design equation has been confirmed. The second stage, the compression creep test with laminated type base isolation device has been investigated to confirm an effect on light-weight mechanical devices.

The multi-storey reinforced concrete frame structure used lead rubber pad as the base isolation device. The paper had modal analysis of base-isolated multi-storey reinforced concrete frame structure using the ANSYS software. Comparing the frequency and vibration mode before and after isolation under El-Centro wave, It concluded the leader rubber pad have seismic isolation effect for multi-storey reinforced concrete frame structure .
