Impact and Energy Analysis of Deformation-Limited Base-Isolated Structure in Shaking Table Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

The deformation of isolation layer in base-isolated building can exceed original design during strong earthquake excitations, which will cause poundings between structure and surrounding retaining wall. Spring limiter installed in base-isolated building can protect the structure. Shaking table test of base-isolated model pounding with spring limiters were performed. The study find the deformation of isolation layer can be effectively reduced by spring limiters, and the deformation of the superstructure will increase slightly. Pounding between structure and spring limiters can arouse high frequency acceleration of building, but had little effect on velocity.Increasing the spring limiters will not change seismic total energy input on the structure, and most of the energy dissipate by the damping. Impact energy dissipation increases with reducing in the gap between structure and spring limiters.
