Difference Between Two Seismic Response Analysis Programs for Soft Site Xiaobo Yu1, a, Rui Sun1,b 1 Key Laboratory of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, CEA, Heilongjiang, Harbin 150080, China ayuxbiem@163.com, biemsr@163.com Keywords: Seismic Response Analysis, Equivalent Linearization, SHAKE2000, LSSRLI-1, Error Abstract.
In the process of seismic safety evaluation, engineers need ground motion parameters which may be obtained from different programs.
In the process of seismic safety evaluation engineers should take care of the error caused by using different programs.
SHAKE is a classical program while LSSRLI-1 is recommended by seismic safety evaluation of engineering sites code (GB17741-2005) [1].

The Seismic Response Analysis of Isolation Structure with Shape Memory Alloy Re-centring Dampers Xiaoyu Miao1,2,a,Sheliang WANG 1,b, Yujiang Fan 1,c 1 School of Civil Engineering, Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology, Xi’an, 710055, Shaanxi, China; 2 School of Civil Engineering, Chang'an University Xi’an, 710061, Shaanxi, China; aemail:miaoxy178@163.com bemail:wangshel@yahoo.com.cn cemail:fanyujiangchd@163.com Key words: SMA re-centring damper, laminated rubber bearing, base isolation, elasto-plastic time history analysis Abstract:Shape memory alloy (SMA) is provided with preferable damp capacity at pseudo-elasticity state, applying this property, a SMA re-centring damper is introduced by some scholars.
In order to reduce the seismic response of structure, the control devices are attached to structures, which is a leading technique for seismic research in civil engineering.
A variety of constitutive laws have been developed, but engineering applications emphasize Brinson laws based on phenomenological theory, which avoid difficult-to-measure parameters and can be easily utilized in structure analyses such as finite element procedure［4］.
