1 Keynote Speech: Seminar: Steel Design in Chile Intercontinental Hotel, Santiago, May 27, 214 Japan's Key Technologies for Seismic Protection of New and Existing Buildings Kazuhiko Kasai Professor and Director Structural Engineering Research Center Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Summary of Experiences & Findings from 3.11 (Building Structures) Acceleration-induced failures and falling of ceiling, electrical & mechanical systems, and loss of building functions. Large displacements of super-tall bldgs. even at long epicentral distance, due to long period ground motions. Difficulty of quick evaluations of damage and functionality in judging continued use of major buildings. Strong motion records of major bldgs. & super-tall bldgs. in Tohoku (>.4g) and Tokyo (.1g), clarifying many issues. Protective systems (base isolation & added damping systems) performed well at various epicentral distances. Japan's Key Technologies for Seismic Protection of New and Existing Buildings 1.

Conclusions Tokyo Institute of Technology Kasai Lab. Coventional System vs. Two Protective Systems Conventional Structure : Dissipates seismic energy by sacrificing main components such as columns, beams, and walls. Base-Isolated Structure : Isolates building from ground shaking. Damped Structure : Mitigates damage and vibration by dissipating seismic energy using dampers installed at building floors or top.

7 Summary The 5-story building with dampers kept the story drift angle below the target limit of 1% rad against the catastrophic motion of unscaled Takatori record. It was so for all four cases of using steel, viscous, oil, and viscoelastic dampers, respectively. Main frame was kept almost elastic. Peak displacements were.45 ~.65 times, and peak accelerations were.6 ~.85 times those of the case of undamped building. These indicate good seismic protection of both building and its contents.

K a K a u d u max Tokyo Institute of Technology Kasai Lab. u u Performance curve gives a variety of solutions for damper stiffness and frame stiffness satisfying the story drift limit. For example, Solution 1. Relatively stiff damper and flexible frame. Solution 2. Relatively flexible damper and stiff frame. Solution 1 can lead to smaller response acc. But the frame s restoring capability will be less, meaning increased potential of residual deform. and nonuniform story drifts over the height of the building. Solution 2, if acc. is well-controlled, would be a good choice by the above reasons, and the rectangular square tube section is suited best to provide adequate frame stiffness in both x- and y-directions.

14 Conclusions Seismic base isolation systems and added damping systems have become the standard technology to protect human lives, building functionality, and assets against major earthquakes. Such protective systems are discussed, with emphasis on added damping which most new tall buildings in Japan utilize now. Full-scale tests results using the world s largest shake table (E-Defense), as well as response records of major buildings at the 211 Tohoku earthquake indicate beneficial effects of dampers for existing or new buildings. Supplemental damping technology and steel frame match well, since; 1) dampers are most securely and easily connected to the steel members through welds or bolts; 2) a steel frame, below the yield limit, has a clear undamaged state warranting continued post-quake use of the building, and; 3) a steel frame with square tube columns provides sufficient stiffness for any lateral direction. 14
