A reliability-based design method for the rehabilitation of buildings with energy-dissipating devices is proposed. The design method is formulated within the demand and capacity factor design (DCFD) format. The proposed approach is based on verifying that the confidence levels (associated with the serviceability and the ultimate limit states) corresponding to the rehabilitated structure are equal to or larger than the confidence levels associated with a similar conventional structure that is designed in accordance with a reference seismic design code. The method is illustrated with a five-story building rehabilitated with steel TADAS energy-dissipating plates.

After Hyogo South Area earthquake, a new seismic design method considering non-elastic deformation behavior is established against Level 2 earthquake (Safety Shutdown Earthquake) in the Seismic Design Code of High-pressure Gas Facilities in Japan. In this paper, this method is applied for an evaluation of existing structures supporting loading-arms in LNG Receiving Terminal. A procedure of pre-earthquake seismic upgrading and modification of the structures that are supported by platforms and supporting loading-arms is introduced. In this evaluation, the seismic loads taking into account of interaction among platforms, structures, and loading-arms are analyzed as total systems. And yield strength design method is applied. Then for the seismic design of loading-arms, floor response spectrums on the installation level are presented. After upgrading the platforms in this case, seismic evaluation of loading-arms based on this study will be performed. So the effect of changing its stiffness is studied. Also to evaluate the dynamic loads subjected to the loading-arms, they are compared with seismic loads that are derived from modified static coefficient method of the seismic design code. Thus with studies of vibration characteristics as total systems, it is possible to make effective and economical countermeasures for pre-earthquake seismic upgrading and modification of the structures and loading-arms.

Seismic Design Method

Various analytical approaches to performance-based seismic design are in development. Based on the current Chinese seismic codes，elastic capacity calculation under frequent earthquake and ductile details of seismic design shall be performed for whether seismic design of new buildings or seismic evaluation of existing buildings to satisfy the seismic fortification criterion “no damage under frequent earthquake, repairable under fortification earthquake, no collapse under severe earthquake”. However, for some special buildings which dissatisfy with the requirements of current building codes, elastic capacity calculation under frequent earthquake is obviously not enough. In this paper, the advanced performance-based seismic theory is introduced to solve the problems of seismic evaluation and strengthening for existing reinforced concrete structures, in which story drift ratio and deformation of components are used as performance targets. By combining the features of Chinese seismic codes, a set of performance-based seismic design method is established for reinforced concrete structures. Different calculation methods relevant to different seismic fortification criterions are adopted in the proposed method, which solve the problems of seismic evaluation for reinforced concrete structures.
