Simplified analysis methods for seismically isolated structures proposed in recent structural codes and specifications are frequently used to reduce the computational effort and to simplify the design procedure, either directly for special cases or for checking the results of nonlinear response history analysis. Of the approximate methods, the equivalent lateral force procedure using the effective stiffness and effective damping is one of the best known. In this study, the simplified method is developed by combining the equivalent lateral force procedure with the capacity spectrum method and evaluated in terms of maximum isolator displacements and base shears for isolated structures with recently invented quintuple friction pendulum isolators , with different geometrical and frictional properties, under two different response spectra with corresponding two different sets of bidirectional near-field ground motions for stiff and soft soils site classes. In order to assess the accuracy of the simplified method, the delivered results of the ELF procedure are compared to those of nonlinear response history analysis, by modelling the quintuple friction pendulum isolator 3D element in OpenSees. Eventually, comments on the accuracy of the simplified method are given to make its applications more appropriate in practical design of base isolation systems.

There are currently no applicable hysteresis rules or nonlinear elements available in structural analysis software that can be used to exactly model triple Friction Pendulum bearings for response-history analysis. Series models composed of existing nonlinear elements are proposed since they can be immediately implemented in currently available analysis software. However, the behavior of the triple Friction Pendulum bearing is not exactly that of a series arrangement of single concave Friction Pendulum bearings—though it is similar. This paper describes how to modify the input parameters of the series model in order to precisely retrace the true force-displacement behavior exhibited by this device. Recommendations are made for modeling in SAP2000 and are illustrated through analysis of a simple seismically isolated structure. The results are confirmed by (a) verifying the force-displacement behavior through comparison with experimental data and (b) verifying the analysis through comparison to the results obtained by direct numerical integration of the equations of motion.

This manuscript describes a subset of CyberShake numerically simulated ground motions that were selected and vetted for use in engineering response-history analyses. Ground motions were selected that have seismological properties and response spectra representative of conditions in the Los Angeles area, based on disaggregation of seismic hazard. Ground motions were selected from millions of available time series and were reviewed to confirm their suitability for response-history analysis. The processes used to select the time series, the characteristics of the resulting data, and the provided documentation are described in this article. The resulting data and documentation are available electronically.

A high four-tower structure is interconnected with a long sky corridor bridge on the top floor. To reduce the earthquake responses and member forces of the towers and sky corridor bridge, a passive control strategy with a friction pendulum tuned mass damper (FPTMD) was adopted. The sky corridor bridge was as the mass of FPTMD. The connection between the towers and the sky corridor bridge was designed as flexible links, where friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) and viscous dampers were installed. Elastoplastic time-history analysis was conducted by using Perform-3D model to look into its seismic behavior under intensive seismic excitation. The optimal design of the FPTMD with varying friction coefficients and radius of friction pendulum bearing (FPB) under seismic excitations was carried out, and the seismic behavior of the structure was also investigated at the same time.Results show that, for this four-tower connected structure, the friction pendulum tuned mass damper (FPTMD) has very well effect on seismic reduction. The structure can meet the seismic resistance design requirements.

The modal pushover analysis (MPA) procedure, which includes the contributions of all significant modes of vibration, estimates seismic demands much more accurately than current pushover procedures used in structural engineering practice. Outlined in this paper is a modified MPA (MMPA) procedure wherein the response contributions of higher vibration modes are computed by assuming the building to be linearly elastic, thus reducing the computational effort. After outlining such a modified procedure, its accuracy is evaluated for a variety of frame buildings and ground motion ensembles. Although it is not necessarily more accurate than the MPA procedure, the MMPA procedure is an attractive alternative for practical application because it leads to a larger estimate of seismic demands, improving the accuracy of the MPA results in some cases (relative to nonlinear response history analysis) and increasing their conservatism in others. However, such conservatism is unacceptably large for lightly damped systems, with damping significantly less than 5%. Thus the MMPA procedure is not recommended for such systems.
