Jetties are one of the most important structures in the coastal area, which can be used for transporting large quantities of goods and raw materials from one place to the other. Their functionality is very much essential because they are lifeline structures of the country. It is observed during the past earthquakes that jetties have been damaged even under mild shaking. Damaged and unserviceable jetties cause delay of export and import business. It directly affects the economy of particular region in terms of business, employment and growth. This clearly indicates the need to design these facilities so that they can withstand natural disasters particularly earthquakes and tsunamis. In this paper, a study has been carried out to find out the damage (D) to the Jetty. The Jetty is modeled using 2D Applied Element Method (AEM) to perform damage analysis of structure. Pushover analysis is done to get base shear vs roof displacement of building using displacement control method. Using the dissipated energy approach, damage is quantified at every displacement level and normalized to 1. A fragility curve has been developed to quantify the damage of Jetty with respect to different peak ground accelerations. The damage values were calculated for the PGA values of KHF Mandvi, NKF Jodiya and KMF Jhangi and found that the Jetty got light damage (D=0.2), and moderate damage (D=0.38 and 0.42) respectively.Keywords

In this study, a three-dimensional, four-storied, rein-forced concrete (RC) building is designed for seismic zone-IV and seismically evaluated for different infill configurations along with consideration of openings in infills to develop a realistic model. Four models are considered, i.e. model I (full RC-infilled frame without lintel beam), model II (bare frame without lintel beam), model III (full RC-infilled frame with lintel beam) and model IV (bare frame with lintel beam). In this study, we have evaluated the effect of lintel beams on response reduction factor of the frame structure. The nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysis has been done using Seismostruct program. In seismic design, the response reduction factor (R-factor) reduces from the elastic to inelastic strength. The R-factor is one of the design tools to show the level of inelasticity in a structure and so it has significant importance in the earthquake engineering field. The response reduction factor mainly consists of ‘ductility reduction factor’ and ‘over strength factor’, which are evaluated from static adaptive pushover analysis. Ultimately the response reduction factor isobtained for the building and compared with the value recommended by IS 1893 Part-1 (2016). The results depict that the R-factor values of full RC-infilled frames and bare frames with incorporation of lintel beams are higher than other frames without lintel beam. However, R-factor values of bare frames are lower than the corresponding values recommended in the BIS code.References

In the present study, a refined procedure for the seismic evaluation and retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings based on the ‘quadrants assessment method’ and ‘material strain limit approach’ is proposed and numerically analysed. The quadrants assessment method involves the performance point, design base shear and threshold damage limit state. Herein, four existing RC buildings (models 1–4) are considered from the Koyna–Warna region, Maharashtra (zone-IV, India). These four buildings were studied using nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysis employing the SeismoStruct software. Based on the quadrants assessment method, the three-storey RC building (model-1) was retrofitted with RC jacketing, while the other three RC buildings did not need to be retrofitted. Also, significant seismic design parameters like ductility, over strength factor, response reduction factor, etc. were evaluated before and after retrofitting. The results depict that the combination of the ‘quadrants assessment method’ and ‘material strain limit approach’ is a rapid, reliable and refined procedure for seismic evaluation and retrofitting of RC buildingsReferences
