- Amazing engineering: Buildings Sway Without Collapsing
- Slide 8
- Different model parameters
- Slide 9
- Can we predict how different buildings will respond to an
earthquake? How can we use this information to engineer a safe
structure
- Slide 10
- Acceleration record is messy. No way to integrate Duhamels
integral. No worries, computers to the rescue! Relative motion of
building and ground Impulse Response Function Measured
Acceleration/USGS data

- is assumed marks |z| max If we found |z| max for a continuous
range of o, wed get the Spectral Displacement (Displacement
Spectrum) Ground acceleration (units of g) Z(t) meters

- Tripartite Representation S D = spectral displacement S V =
spectral velocity S A = spectral acceleration S A = S V = S D

- Seattle, WA is a beautiful city, but is prone to large
earthquakes. The monorail on the bridge has previously been
measured to have a natural period of 2 s. Damping is assumed to be
2%. During an earthquake, is the trolley likely to derail? Use the
Housner spectrum to find out! Picture from:

- You are hired as an architectural engineer to build a
California dream house on a hillside. The structure can be
idealized as shown (on chalkboard). The frame is built out of
concrete (E = 30x10 9 Pa). The support columns have a cross section
of 10 inches squared. Assume damping is 5%. Determine the base
shear in each column, which is more likely to fail?
