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.

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

Finite Element Modeling… Bearing

Finite Element Modeling of Rocker and Rocker & Roller bearings is


done in ABAQUS to know the force deformation behavior of bearings
under static loading in lateral direction
 Plates are modeled as 3D solid deformable parts. 3D hex and 3D tet
elements are used to mesh different parts of the assembly
 Linear elements are used rather higher order elements, to effectively
model contact interfaces
 Plates are mild steel whereas pintels are cast iron is modeled as
elastic perfectly plastic material. They are modeled as elastic perfectly
plastic material
 Contact between sliding surfaces are defined as friction (penalty) in
tangential direction and hard contact in normal direction
 Vertical load equal to the weight of superstructure and a horizontal
displacement of 1.5 mm is applied on top plate
 Bottom plate is assumed to be fixed
