In the seismic retrofit of existing masonry constructions, global interventions are often needed to inhibit the onset of local mechanisms and to engage the whole building box-like structural behaviour. Such interventions are represented by perimeter ties and roof and floor diaphragms. This paper considers the roof diaphragm strengthening solution and investigates the use of stud connections securing the roof thin-folded shell to the perimeter walls. Stud connections serve the dual purpose of collecting and transferring the out-of-plane inertia forces of the masonry walls to the roof diaphragm, as well as transferring the diaphragm reaction forces to the shear walls. Specific detailing of the stud connection and the adoption of an improved lime-mortar overlay on the top of the masonry walls are proposed to improve the connection strength; without such improvements, the connection capacity would be jeopardised by the reduced shear resistance of the masonry wall due to the absence of significant vertical confining action at the roof level. The intervention entirely changes the behaviour of the connection and significantly reduces shear stresses on the masonry wall. The structural behaviour of the connection is analysed and discussed. Emphasis is made on the conceptual design of laboratory and in-field test procedures and testing frames in order to replicate the boundary conditions in real applications. In-situ tests may help during the design of the roof thin-folded shell system and allow for the efficiency assessment of the connections prior to the final intervention, thereby proving the actual feasibility of the retrofit solution. 相似文献

Polarimetry is an area of high energy astrophysics which is still relatively unexplored, even though it is recognized that this type of measurement could drastically increase our knowledge of the physics and geometry of high energy sources. For this reason, in the context of the design of a Gamma-Ray Imager based on new hard-X and soft gamma ray focusing optics for the next ESA Cosmic Vision call for proposals (Cosmic Vision 2015-2025), it is important that this capability should be implemented in the principal on-board instrumentation. For the particular case of wide band-pass Laue optics we propose a focal plane based on a thick pixelated CdTe detector operating with high efficiency between 60–600keV. The high segmentation of this type of detector (1–2mm pixel size) and the good energy resolution (a few keV FWHM at 500keV) will allow high sensitivity polarisation measurements (a few % for a 10mCrab source in 106s) to be performed. We have evaluated the modulation Q factors and minimum detectable polarisation through the use of Monte Carlo simulations (based on the GEANT 4 toolkit) for on and off-axis sources with power law emission spectra using the point spread function of a Laue lens in a feasible configuration. 相似文献

Liquefaction of saturated sand deposits under seismic excitation is studied on the basis of a fatigue failure approach. The model includes a stochastic treatment of the input, of the soil response and of the cumulative pore pressure effects produced by cycling stresses in the soil. A method of establishing safety factors against liquefaction is also considered. Results obtained from analysis of a case history confirm the applicability of the model for engineering purposes. 相似文献

The article outlines the main findings and conclusions of the QUAKER research project and other related studies on the behaviour
of foundations built on top of a rupturing dip-slip fault. Although emphasis is placed on normal faults, the derived conclusions
are valid for reverse faults, as well. A key conclusion is that it is quite feasible to design a foundation to withstand an
underneath rupturing fault. Practical design recommendations suitable for developing future Code requirements on the subject,
are developed on the basis of the presented conclusions. 相似文献

Field evidence from recent earthquakes has shown that structures can be designed to survive major surface dislocations. This
paper: (i) Describes three different finite element (FE) methods of analysis, that were developed to simulate dip slip fault
rupture propagation through soil and its interaction with foundation–structure systems; (ii) Validates the developed FE methodologies
against centrifuge model tests that were conducted at the University of Dundee, Scotland; and (iii) Utilises one of these
analysis methods to conduct a short parametric study on the interaction of idealised 2- and 5-story residential structures
lying on slab foundations subjected to normal fault rupture. The comparison between numerical and centrifuge model test results
shows that reliable predictions can be achieved with reasonably sophisticated constitutive soil models that take account of
soil softening after failure. A prerequisite is an adequately refined FE mesh, combined with interface elements with tension
cut-off between the soil and the structure. The results of the parametric study reveal that the increase of the surcharge
load q of the structure leads to larger fault rupture diversion and “smoothing” of the settlement profile, allowing reduction of
its stressing. Soil compliance is shown to be beneficial to the stressing of a structure. For a given soil depth H and imposed dislocation h, the rotation Δθ of the structure is shown to be a function of: (a) its location relative to the fault rupture; (b) the surcharge load q; and (c) soil compliance. 相似文献

Geological, geophysical and geotechnical investigations, for the characterization of the strong-motion recording sites managed by the Italian Civil Protection, have been carried out in the framework of the project “Italian strong-motion database in the period 1972–2004”. The project aimed at creating an updated database of strong-motion data acquired in Italy by different institutions in the time span 1972–2004, and at improving the quality of disseminated data. This article illustrates the state of the recording site characterization before the beginning of the project, explains the criteria adopted to select the sites where geophysical/geotechnical investigation have been performed and describes the results of the promoted field surveys. 相似文献
