Innovative enhancement of performance of structures subjected to extreme loadings can be the result of including mechanical devices in structural systems. Designed to provide the required strength needed, these devices can also control behavior to protect structural elements from damage. During such extreme events as strong earthquake ground motions, systems can be designed to "fuse." The result is optimized resilient structural systems that perform better than more conventional systems. The International Terminal at San Francisco International Airport is an example of one of the largest seismically isolated buildings in the world, designed to be capable of withstanding earthquake magnitudes of 8 or above. Another example of resilient structures is a research and development facility in Shanghai, China that comprises six seismically separate building modules. Details of both facilities' seismic design are presented here. |
