The hybrid seismic isolation system , consisting of the SMA strands-laminate rubber bearing combined with magneto rheological damper ,was explored, for the sake of improving seismic isolation efect of the SMA strands-laminate rubber bearing under great earthquake ，especially when level shear deformation of SMA rubber bearing is bigger(D>0.55d) ．So does its mechanical model. In this paper，we compare the SMA strands-laminate rubber bearing with the hybrid seismic isolation system. Simulation analysis results indicate that the hybrid seismic isolation system is able to achieve both low interstory drift and acceleration and,at the same lime，limit the base displacement．The security of isolated structure was improved largely.

Mid-story isolation structure is developing from base isolation structures. As a complex structural system, the work mechanism of base isolation structure is not entirely appropriate for mid-story isolation structure, and the prolonging of structural natural period may not be able to decrease the seismic response of substructure and superstructure simultaneously. In this paper, for a four-story steel frame model, whose prototype first natural period is about 1s without seismic isolation design, the seismic responses and isolation effectiveness of mid-story isolation system with lead rubber bearing are studied experimentally by changing the location of isolation layer. Respectively, the locations of isolation layer are set at bottom of the first story, top of the first story, top of the second story and top of the third story. The results show that mid-story isolation can reduce seismic response in general, and substructure acceleration may be amplified.

Base isolation system with lead rubber bearing (LRB) is commonly used to prevent structure against to damage of earthquake. Design of LRB system is detailed in this study. The isolated building with LRB design according to Uniform Building Code (UBC-97) and fixed building were examined. The six-storey building with LRB and fixed building were modelled in SAP2000 with the same dynamic loads. The relative floor displacement and internal forces of the seismic isolated and fixed building are compared. In addition, transverse and longitudinal reinforcement of any axis of seismic isolated and fixed building are compared. Analyse results showed that effectiveness of using seismic isolation system on building. The weight of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement of isolated building is smaller than fixed building about 36%, 40% respectively.

This paper, which is part of the series entitled “Development of an Evaluation Method for Seismic Isolation Systems of Nuclear Power Facilities”, shows the linear seismic response of crossover piping installed in a seismically isolated plant. The crossover piping, supported by both isolated and non-isolated buildings, deforms with large relative displacement between the two buildings and the seismic response of the crossover piping is caused by two different seismic excitations from the buildings. A flexible and robust structure is needed for the high-pressure crossover piping. In this study, shaking tests on a 1/10 scale piping model and FEM analyses were performed to investigate the seismic response of the crossover piping which was excited and deformed by two different seismic motions under isolated and non-isolated conditions. Specifically, as linear response analysis of the crossover piping, modal time-history analysis and response spectrum analysis with multiple excitations were carried out and the applicability of the analyses was confirmed. Moreover, the seismic response of actual crossover piping was estimated and the feasibility was evaluated.

Debris accumulation in bridge slab gaps which use expansion joints can restrain deck expansion, causing undesirable forces on floor deck and damage to the structure. In order to avoid the worst possibility that can occur, an alternative using link slab is utilized. The use of link slab at high level seismic force location, requires the Seismic Isolation System on bridge to reduce the seismic force. The application of Seismic Isolation System can be conducted by Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) type of seismic isolator. This study compares the use of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) and elastomer on bridge link slabs against the dimension of the link slab. In this study structural modeling used 2 models: bridges supported by elastomer and bridges supported by LRB with software-made. The link slab analysis approach used were analytical methods or classical methods. Based on results of the analysis, the width of the crack that occured on bridge supported by LRB is 0.218 mm while on the bridge supported by elastomer is 0.269 mm. The use of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) type of support will give more advantages to the design of the link slab since it results in smaller crack design criteria.

Isolation System

In Japan, several kinds of three-dimensional seismic isolation system for next-generation nuclear power plant such as fast reactors have been studied in recent years. We proposed a structural concept of a vertical component isolation system, assuming a building adopting a horizontal base isolation system. In this concept, a reactor vessel and major primary components are suspended from a large common deck supported by isolation devices consisting of large coned disk springs. In order to verify the isolation performance of the vertical component isolation system, 1/8 series of shaking table tests using a scale model were conducted. The test model was composed of 4 vertical isolation devices, common deck and horizontal load suspension system. For the design earthquake, the system smoothly operated, and sufficient isolation characteristics were shown. The simulation analysis results matched well the test results, so the validity of the design technique was able to be verified. As the result, the prospect that the vertical isolation system applied to the FBR plant could technically realize was obtained.

Strengthening Technique

The aseismatic strengthening technique for masonry structure was researched in this paper. The seismic response of a L-type school building with and without isolation system were computed by using software SAP2000. The isolation system were made up of lead rubber bearings or combined Isolation system. The results showed that base-isolated strengthening can reduce not only the translational response but also the torsional response with earthquake. The combined Isolation system was more effetive in decreasing translational response than the lead rubber bearing, but inferior to in decreasing torsion response.
