Introduction Current Seismic Design Philosophy Introduction Current Seismic Design Philosophy Performance of a structure typically assessed based on maximum deformations Most structures designed according to current codes will sustain residual deformations in the event of a design basis earthquake (DBE) Residual deformations can result in partial or total loss of a building: static incipient collapse is reached structure appears unsafe to occupants response of the system to a subsequent earthquake or aftershock is impaired by the new at rest position Residual deformations can result in increased cost of repair or replacement of nonstructural elements Residual deformations not explicitly reflected in current performance assessment approaches. Framework for including residual deformations in performance-based seismic design and assessment proposed by Christopoulos et al. (2003) (see Chapter 2) Lecture presents structural self-centering systems possessing characteristics that minimize residual deformations and are economically viable alternatives to current lateral force resisting systems 5 2.

Early Modern Applications of Self-centering Systems South Rangitikei River Railroad Bridge, New Zealand, built in 1981 Piers: 70 m tall, six spans prestressed concrete hollow-box girder, overall span: 315 m Rocking of piers combined with energy dissipation devices (torsional dampers) Gravity provides self-centering force Superelasticity Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs): class of materials able to develop superelastic behavior SMAs are made of two or three different metals Nitinol: 49% of Nickel and 51% of Titanium. Copper and zinc can also be alloyed to produce superelastic properties. Depending on temperature of alloying, several molecular rearrangements of crystalline structure of alloy are possible Low alloying temperatures: martensitic microstructure High alloying temperatures austenitic microstructure Superelasticity

4 Intermediate Allowing Temperatures: Superelasticity Superelasticity Advantages for supplemental damping purposes: Exhibits high stiffness and strength for small strains It becomes more flexible for larger strains. Practically no residual strain and Dissipate energy Disadvantages: Sensitive to fatigue: after large number of loading cycles, SMAs deteriorate into classical plastic behavior with residual strains Cost Experimental Studies Attanasi and Auricchio (2011): Superelastic Seismic Isolation System Flat slider device & SMA coil springs restraining devices Structural Implementations Seismic retrofit of historical San Giorgio bell tower, San Martino, Italy Damaged after 1996 Modena and Reggio earthquake Nitinol wires introduced and prestressed through masonry walls of bell tower to prevent tensile stresses The Energy Dissipating Restraint (EDR) Hysteretic Behavior Manufactured by Fluor Daniel, Inc.
