Building Details…
• Salient Features
– Building has a basement and 5 upper level floors
which reduce in plan size as we go up!
– More weight in central part due to water tank and
larger column free spans
– Total Seismic Weight = 20,000 Ton
– Plan dimension Approx. 98 by 30 M
– Mix of Concrete = M25
– Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) Isolator have been used
– LRB has been chosen because
• These are out of patent and hence many
manufacturers
• Cheaper than Friction Pendulum Bearing
• Smaller in size
• Time tested and proven in past Earthquakes

Structural analysis
• Modeling in SAP2000
– Other softwares were rejected as they don’t offer enough
capabilities to model and analyse non-linear isolators.
– SAP2000 offers Non-Linear analysis using Modal time
history as well as Direct Integration Time history.
– Isolators have been modelled using bilinear modelling
technique described in a research report and recommended by
several experts.
– Hospital building has also been provided with a few transfer
girders to avoid other problems in free movement of hanging
staircase and lifts.
– Staged analysis has been implemented to accurately predict
the effect of sinking column supports.

Structural analysis …
• Modeling in SAP2000
– All floors have been modelled with actual stiffness and these
are allowed to move as flexible diaphragm. This helps in
capturing in-plane shear of the diaphragm.
– All roofs have been modelled as sloping roof with full shell
behaviour.
– Rigid end offsets of beam and column joints have been taken
into account.
– Non-prismatic sections have been modelled wherever beams
with notches have been provided.
– Building has been analysed for Dead, Live and DBE site
specific response spectra.
– Maxmimum 600 mm deep beams have been provided in
interior area to avoid problem in ducting and cabling.
Isolation Design
• Salient details
– Total Base Shear for Superstructure is 7.1% of Seismic
Weight
– Total Base Shear for Sub Structure is 14.2% of Seismic
Weight
– Lightly loaded columns on periphery are provided with sliders
– Total 16 columns rest on sliders.
– 8 No. LRB are of size 600x600 size with a lead plug of 150
mm dia.
– 72 no. LRB are of size 750X750 size with a lead plug of 175
mm dia.
– LRBs should provide for a damping of at least 15% critical
– Final fundamental period achieved is 2.1 seconds at DBE level
earthquake
– A displacement of about 125 mm at DBE earthquake and 250
mm at MCE level EQ is expected.

Seismicity of the Region
• Identified as the most
severe seismic zone V
• The Indian lithosphere
subducts below the
Andaman Plate
– Causes regular seismic
shaking in the region
• Surrounded by thrust
fault and strike slip fault
• 92 earthquakes with M > 6
since 1973

FE Modeling in SAP2000
• Deck slab is modeled as thin plate
• Bearing is modeled as Friction Isolator link element
– Radius of sliding surface is considered as zero,
indicating flat surface (as interpreted by SAP2000)
– Friction coefficient m is calculated as 0.2
• All other elements are modeled as elastic beam-
column element
• Abutment is considered as rigid support
• Bottom of pile is restrained against all 6 degrees of
freedom
– Pile embedded inside rock by 3 m
– Soil structure interaction is ignored

• Damping
– Rayleigh damping is used with 5% damping at 1.8 s
and 0.1 s period
• Type of analysis
– Direct integration method of Non-linear time history
analysis is used
– HHT-a method is selected for numerical time
integration
• Ground Motion
– Two horizontal components of a ground motion are
applied along transverse and longitudinal direction of

Behavior of Bearing

Improvement Suggestions
• Irregular bridges needs separate treatment
• Emphasize on requirement of arresters
– Shear pin reduces transverse bearing displacement
significantly
– No appreciable reduction noted in longitudinal bearing
displacement with the help of Linked slab
• Requires arresters to reduce relative movement
between bridge deck and substructure
– Vertical hold down device shall be used
• To prevent uplift of deck slab
