Study on Application of Vibration Response Control System on a Teaching Hospital Foundation Structure that Subjected to Earthquake Excitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Strong earthquake affects buildings to response in huge dynamic oscillating motion. In a teaching hospital that full of patients, medical personnel and medical treatment facilities as well as many modern advanced equipment may be in very dangerous situation due to this building response. To reduce the human victims, equipments and infrastructure damages, a kind of base isolation is added to the foundation of the hospital building. Inspite of oscillation motion as a vertical cantilever, this foundation base isolation of the hospital building is applied and designed to give the response of the earthquake vibration waves in lateral motion. To find out the optimum properties of the base isolation, some calculations of the response from vibration parameters are observed. The Keq value is 415,120,000 N/m and the total massive Mass of the hospital is 148,057,364 kg as well as the highest vibration force is 108,136,030.2 N. This study work deals with simplified modelling using FEA in ANSYS software. The aim is to see the simulation based on the calculation of the analysis and whether the response is as expected.
