Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Earthquakes are one of the most severe natural disasters. They induce significant damage and even the collapse of building structures. As a result; it is crucial to accurately analyze the seismic performance of building structures. In addition; in some countries; such as China; all new building structures should be designed in consideration of the influence of earthquakes; and the criticality of seismic design should be emphasized. In all; seismic analysis and the design of building structures are a fundamental; traditional and crucial aspect of civil engineering; and are therefore worthy of investigation.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in seismic analysis and the design of building structures. Topics in this Special Issue may include; but are not limited to; the following:

  • seismic analysis of building structures;
  • seismic design of building structures;
  • seismic performance improvement of building structures.

Asymmetric base-isolated structures subjected to severe torsion may suffer further aggravation of their torsional and translational responses under pulse-type earthquakes. To counteract these detrimental impacts, this study introduces a two-stage optimal design method. The first stage involved the application of the NSGA-II algorithm for determining an optimal isolator arrangement—namely, position and category—with the objective of reducing both the maximum interstory rotation of the superstructure and the isolation layer. In the second stage, the inclusion of viscous dampers served to minimize the excessive translational response triggered by pulse-type earthquakes. The influence of these dampers’ positions on the structural response was carefully evaluated. The final application of this optimal design method was demonstrated on an asymmetric base-isolated structure. The results indicated a significant reduction in the translational and torsional responses of the asymmetric base-isolated structure when the two-stage optimal design method was utilized, compared to those of structures designed using traditional conceptual methods. It was found that by installing viscous dampers in the isolation layer along both the x and the y directions—specifically, underneath the mass center of the superstructure (CMS)—the effectiveness of the torsional resistance from the first stage could be effectively maintained.
