Applying Accel Time Histories in Multi-Support Excitation

[uxb5003]

Hello everyone,

I have to apply different sets of Bidirectional Earthquake ground motions at abutments and at foundation level of the bents of a bridge.
I was planning to use the Multi-Support Excitation pattern, which allows me to apply different ground motions at different supports. However, in the notes it was stated that one should be using Displacement Time Histories when using this pattern, as using Acceleration Time Histories, might yield erroneous results.

As I have a set of ground motions described by Acceleration Time Histories, what is the most advisable method for me to use? Uniform Excitation pattern will not allow me to apply different time histories at different supports. Is there any other possibility of defining the ground motions which can resolve this issue?

Also, for the relative displacements produced by Uniform Excitation pattern at a particular node, is it relative to the adjacent connected node? If a node is connected by beams to other nodes adjacent to it in longitudinal, transverse and vertical directions (for e.g the corner node of a building), the relative displacement in the transverse direction will be relative to the transverse displacement of the node vertically below or to those lying in the same horizontal plane?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Unmukt Bhatnagar.

for multi-support you it is strongly advisable to provide the displacement history. we provide a simple trapezoidal integration strategy if nothing is provided.
we do no baseline correction. if you have a raw acceleration record you should. there are multiple methods available and the displacements obtained are can be very dependent on the method used. i STRONGLY suggest you do some research on the matter. you might even post some notes or comments for others when you are done.

Thank you Frank for addressing the issue.

For validation purposes, I have sets of acceleration as well as displacement time histories for a particular earthquake, which have been corrected and cleared of all noise signals. However, for running my main analysis, I have only acceleration time histories available. I'll try to examine different methods available, and try to determine a particular favorable method, through which the displacement time histories obtained are similar to those which have been recorded.

Again thanks for helping me solve the problem.

Hi,

I am facing a problem while running two different analysis cases. As stated before, I have to apply bi-directional earthquake for my seismic analysis. I'm considering Force-based beam column element for my columns. On using uniform excitation pattern, my analysis runs without any errors or convergence issues, and I obtain my output results. However, if I intend to use Multiple-support excitation pattern to assign different displacement time histories at different end supports, I get convergence issues.
As stated in some of the earlier posts I tried changing the fiber configurations, increased integration points, added -iter option for the element, and changed my element to displacement based element. I also tried different integrators, algorithms and test methods. However, I still faced convergence issues, for e.g. "failed to get compatible element forces & deformations for element". If I try to fix one element, this issue crops up at some other element. I can't locate the root cause of the problem.
Can you please tell me where I'm going wrong? Below, I've attached my description of my Excitation patterns, column definitions and error I'm facing.

Thanks.

Hi,

I changed the element from nonlinearBeamColumn element (FBE) to Displacement-based beam column element (DBE).

As Vesna stated in her presentation, (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/image ... EvsDBE.pdf), using DBE gives you a higher error in the response when compared to the values obtained while using FBE. To reduce the error, increase the number of DBE elements you are using to define your particular beam or column. For instance, in my case, I had used 12 FBE elements to define my 24 ft column. However, when I used DBE, I increased the number of elements to 22.

this is modelling, is there any problem with modelling, plz anyone can help me to compare it with idarc resutl of Story drift or Drift.....................

can anyone help me to compare drift result of OPENSEES and IDARC of a portal frame, analysis type is dynamic with time history everything in modelling is done but some due to some parameters the results are different
My email id is " punits95@hotmail.com " & " coolpunitrocks@gmail.com " plz plz plz contact me here or at mail i will send u all result and modelling of both OPENSEES and IDARC.....
thank you!!
