SEISMIC OPTIMIZATION AND RETROFITTING

Seismic optimization means improving the seismic condition of existing structures.

In order to improve the seismicity of the target structure, it is equal to building the seismic capacity of the structure that can be achieved by increasing the structural capacity or by reducing the need for seismicity.

Increasing the structural capacity is possible with increasing hardness and resistance, which is called refinement. Building retrofitting can be done using modern building materials and products such as FRP.

The reduction of the structural seismic requirement can also be accomplished through various measures such as: increased formability, reduced mass, reduced irregularities, and the use of modern seismic designed technologies, such as the use of seismic separators, dampers, etc.

In presenting the improvement plan, it is necessary to pay attention to the two categories of execution and economic efficiency of the plan, as the improvement of the shivering motion is on the edge of the razor.

If the designer, in his/her plan, did not use the full capacity of the structure, he/she would lose his/her economic justification and the modernization will be improved upon.

It should be noted that using nonlinear analyzes can be used to fully utilize the structural capacity.

One of the basic activities of the construction group is designing and implementing retrofitting and improving the seismicity of the buildings under construction. In this regard, several projects have been designed and implemented in the country.

Energy separators and dampers

In order to upgrade the knowledge and services of engineering and application of new systems, BastanPol Imen has acquired Robinson’s products sales in the provinces of Khorasan and Guilan.


In general, energy absorbers and separators are used to reduce the dynamic response of the structure to wind and earthquake pressure . The functional mechanism of these devices is performing special deformations and special mechanical actions. Through these actions they absorb a large amount of energy input to the structure due to dynamic pressure . The function of these dampers reduces the energy received by other structural members and, as a result, does not cause much deformation. Energy dissipation in these dampers occurs as the conversion of kinetic energy into heat by friction, movement in slurry, metal surrender, and so on.

The advantages of using separators and dampers can cause a significant increase in the level of structural performance, reducing the structure of the seismic response up to 20%, a significant reduction in non-structural damage, reducing the volume of materials needed for construction, the usability to improve existing structures, And in some cases the recovery of the initial shape and zero need for replacement after the earthquake

1. VISCOUS FLUID DAMPER

The structure of a slurry liquid dampers generally consists of a piston and a cylinder. Slippery fluid inside the cylinder is compressed by the piston, inside the piston. there is another cylinder that can be introduced through the liquid perforations. By applying the pressure to the fluid system, the fluid exchanged between the two cylinders loses a lot of energy.


2. FRICTIONAL DAMPER

This type of damper acts on the basis of the friction mechanism between rigid bodies relative to each other. In fact, friction is a great energy dissipation mechanism. The function of all friction dampers is that one part is fixed and the other part slides down dynamically. The slip occurs at a certain level of force, so that no movement happens up to a certain level of force, but after this level, slip and motion begins. The composition and positioning of these slip surfaces creates different friction dampers.



3. YIELDING DAMPER

The function of these dampers is based on the surrender of the metal and thereby increase the energy dissipation capacity. In fact, these dampers are flooded during pressure and, as a result, deplete a large amount of input energy into the structure. In this way, no further degradation occurs on the structure of the building, but on a predetermined piece which, after pressure, is also interchangeable. The disadvantages of this method can be the permanent deformation after the earthquake.


4. SEISMIC BASE ISOLATION

Seismic separation is the separation of the whole or part of the structure from the ground in order to reduce the seismic response of that part at the time of the earthquake event. Seismic separation systems have been accepted as one of the most effective ways of protecting structures against seismic stimulation. These systems reduce the response of the axes, in particular the relative displacement of the classes and the acceleration of the classes. However, the base displacement of these systems in the near-field earthquakes can be increased, which should be provided by creating space around the building.


Steel Shear Wall System with CFT Columns


Since 2012, the designer BastanPol Co. has taken steps to implement one of the structural properties of the steel sheared walls, which in recent years has been a particular interest to engineers internationally. The company’s know-how and technical capabilities, together with a collaborative academic effort with Amir Kabir University of Technology, have led to the publication of credible scientific articles at international conferences and journals.


1- Benefits of steel shear walls system

1-1- General benefits

– Weight loss of steel consumption

The low weight of the steel plate, the simplification of design requirements due to the proper behavior of the system (and having a high operating coefficient), along with the effective performance of controlling structural deformations due to the high degree of hardness, can lead to a reduction in the weight of the designed skeleton
– Safety and high seismic resistance due to the continuity, ductility and strength of steel plate and joints.
– Easy implementation due to:
– Use of joined joints with corner weld on all frame joints, except for connecting parts of the steel plate
– Easy to carry and easy installation of steel plate due to low weight, high flexibility and cutting and preparation at factory site.
– The small size of the welding part of the steel plate connection and its implementation is only one pass (welding). It is also possible to remove the weld and implement the connection with the help of bolts and nuts.

1-2- Architectural Benefits

– Less occupation of architectural space than other lateral load systems

– Possibility of opening the door (door or window): In steel sheared walls, regarding to the necessary hardening, there is the possibility of opening a gap in any place, while this possibility is limited in the V-bracing system and does not exist in the X curtain and in Concrete sheared walls with limited size and difficult execution details are encountered.

1-3- Behavioral Benefits

– Density and higher energy absorption than reinforcing concrete sheared reinforcement systems.
– The lack of specific sensitivity to the implementation of fusion joints, in contrast to the framing pane, in which, in the event of failure of the connection weld under the lateral pressure, floor decay and progressive deterioration occurs,
– The safety provided by the steel sheared wall is comparable to the unconstrained steel grade and the weld joints used in connecting it to the bracing system and the framing pane and with the reinforced concrete sheared wall system.
– In the system of steel sheared walls in the event of an earthquake, the submission and failure in the steel sheet is interchangeable and to a lesser extent in the ends of the upper and lower beams, and the other beams and structural columns will remain safe from the occurrence of surrender, thus the cost of reconstruction Building after earthquake is minimized.

1-4- Advantages of Flexible Frame System

– Up to 50% less skeletal structure. The more advanced sidewall stiffness of the steel sheared wall compared to the framing panes allows more effective control of structural deformation. This factor, coupled with the higher-performance behavior of the system (up to 2.5 times), which reduces its seismic pressures, dramatically reduces the weight of the skeleton.
– Faster and quicker implementation: Full penetration of flexural fusion joints leads to difficulty and slowness, while in the steel sheared wall system, other than joints in the wall openings the rest of the connections are joint like.

1-5- Benefits to the bracing system

– Weight loss. Consumed steel: In the event of the use of a dual system due to the weakness of the bracing system in controlling deformations, the use of a steel sheared wall system will only be sufficient due to the higher hardness. Having a higher behavioral factor (up to 1.7 times) will also help reduce skeletal weight.
Better Seismic Behavior: In seismic bracing systems, the focus is on the joints, while in the steel sheared wall system, these forces are distributed by the wall plate at all points of the beam and the surrounding columns.

1-6- Benefits to the reinforced concrete shear wall

– Lower weight: Significant weight of the concrete wall, in addition to overlaying the lower beams, results in a significant increase in the weight of the structure and seismic forces absorbed.
– Higher treatment coefficient: Regardless of the dual system “Special Fender Frame + Reinforced Concrete Reinforced Concrete Wall” which is considered less due to the specific problems of the operation, the system behavior of the steel sheared wall system is 1 to 25 times the concrete equivalent. It is furthermore that, in proportion to this increase in seismic pressure, also decrease.
– The implementation process is much simpler: Due to the steps of armature, molding, concrete fastening and molding in the process of implementing a concrete sheared wall, the implementation of the steel sheared wall system is far faster and easier.
