Earthquakes are one of the biggest problems in civil engineering all over the world. Due to earthquakes, great disasters in cities with collapsed structures and human losses have been caused. More specific, old buildings that have been built based on old regulations and design building codes do not fulfil anymore the new criteria of seismic designing.In this study, an old building has been evaluated for the seismic load in order to decide if there is a need for strengthening it using retrofitting methods. The seismic evaluation is based on Eurocode 8 and after the application of retrofitting techniques the building fulfilled its seismic design criteria. The existing building is a four-storey, concrete structure that has been built in 1970 and is located in Athens (the capital city of Greece). The seismic evaluation is conducted by using the software Seismostruct.Two analyses are performed in order to evaluate the seismic behavior of the building. First, an eigenvalue analysis is conducted before and after retrofitting. By using this analysis the torsional sensitivity of the building has been checked. Then, using pushover analysis, the comparison of the target displacement (expected displacement of the building for the design seismic action) for each limit state and the displacement of the building when the first member of the building reached the corresponding limit state, is presented. Target displacement must not be greater than this displacement in order to ensure the safety of the building. If the comparison shows that target displacement is greater, the weak links in the facility should be identified and the proper retrofitting method should be applied for the improvement of the seismic behavior of the building. Pushover analysis is conducted before and after the application of retrofitting methods.After performing the eigenvalue and pushover analysis of the existing building it was found that the building was torsional sensitive and shear failures occurred in many beams of the structure. Regarding the bending failures, the target displacement was not greater than the displacement of the building when the first member of the building reached any of the corresponding limit states. Therefore the building was safe against bending failures. With the application of X-shaped steel braces in selected frames, the building had higher stiffness and it was not torsional sensitive but shear failures occurred again in many beams. Furthermore, compressive failures occurred in columns that were connected with the steel braces. Finally, with the application of fibre reinforced plastic jacketing in the members that failed in the previous pushover analysis there were no shear or compressive failures. Finally the structure was safe against seismic actions.The application of retrofitting methods improved the seismic behavior of the building and the structure fulfilled the updated regulations of Eurocode 8 regarding seismic design. This project thesis may give rise to further studies and researches concerning seismic retrofitting and seismic damage prevention.

[pt] Esta dissertação apresenta uma comparação dos métodos utilizados para análise da estabilidade dinâmica de taludes de solo através de métodos pseudoestáticos (equilíbrio limite) e dinâmicos (método dos elementos finitos). Com ambos os métodos foram estudadas as características de estabilidade de 47 perfis de taludes da Costa Verde, faixa litorânea na cidade de Lima, Peru, abrigando importante rodovia ladeada por 8,25 km de taludes íngremes e de grande altura. Nesta região a ocorrência de sismos é freqüente, devido ao fenômeno da subducção da placa de Nazca sob a placa Continental Sul-Americana. O sismo de projeto foi estabelecido em relação a estudos regionais de risco sísmico e o acelerograma utilizado corresponde ao registrado no terremoto de Lima de 03 de outubro de 1974, normalizado para uma aceleração máxima de projeto de 0,33g. Os resultado obtidos pelos métodos pseudo-estáticos e pelo método dos elementos finitos apresentam diferenças em alguns dos perfis analisados, provavelmente porque os métodos pseudo-estáticos geralmente consideram as forças de inércia constantes na fatia e sem mudança de sentido durante o período da excitação sísmica. / [en] This thesis presents a comparison between the methods generally used for dynamic stability analysis of earth slopes, based either on a pseudo-static approach (limit equilibrium method) or on a dynamic approach (finite element method). Forty-seven profiles from the Costa Verde slopes located in Lima, Peru, were analyzed with both classes of methods. In this region seismic activity is quite common, caused by subduction of the Nazca plate into the South American Plate. The design seism was established from regional studies of seismic risks and the accelerogram used in this research corresponds to the seismic records from a major earthquake that hit Lima on October 3rd, 1974, herein normalized with respect to the maximum design acceleration of 0,33g. The results obtained with pseudo-static and the finite element methods presented differences in some specific soil profiles, probably because the pseudostatic methods admit that the inertial forces are constants through a soil slice and there are no changes in direction of the dynamic forces during the period of seismic excitation.

In this work, the construction, first reservoir filling and the seismic response of the Pomacocha Dam, located in Peru, are analyzed by the finite element method using the software ABAQUS (version 6.2). At several loading stages the corresponding stress and displacement are presented as well as, for some specific points in the dam body and in the foundation soil, the characteristic stress and strain histories during the static and seismic loads.

[pt] Esta pesquisa investiga o comportamento sísmico da barragem de terra de Breapampa, situada no Peru em zona de atividade sísmica. A previsão numérica é feita com auxílio do programa computacional FLAC 2D v.7, baseado no método das diferenças finitas. É simulada a construção incremental da barragem, a elevação gradual do nível d água do reservatório durante a etapa do primeiro enchimento do reservatório, é estabelecida a posição da linha freática em regime de fluxo permanente e são calculados os fatores de segurança estático da estabilidade dos taludes nas condições de final da construção e após o primeiro enchimento do reservatório. A simulação do comportamento sísmico da barragem é feita em seguida, discutindo-se vários e importantes aspectos que devem ser considerados para uma correta análise como a seleção do terremoto de projeto, a filtragem de altas frequências para minimizar o número de elementos da malha, a introdução de condições de contorno silenciosas, a escolha de modelos constitutivos incluindo a incorporação de amortecimento histerético, entre outros pontos. A resposta sísmica da barragem, nas condições de reservatório vazio e reservatório cheio, foi obtida em termos de deslocamentos permanentes, história de deslocamentos, amplificações da aceleração horizontal, desenvolvimento de poropressões no corpo da barragem e potencial de ruptura cíclica no material do núcleo. / [en] This research investigates the seismic behavior of the Breapampa earth dam, situated in Peru within a seismic activity zone. The numerical prediction is carried out using the computer program FLAC 2D v.7, based on the finite difference method. it is simulated the incremental construction of the dam, the gradual raise of the water level during the stage of reservoir impounding, the establishment of the phreatic line under steady state flow and the determination of safety factor for the stability of the soil slopes considering both conditions of after construction and after reservoir impounding. The modeling of the seismic behavior of the dam is then made with detailed discussion of several important aspects for a correct analysis such as the selection of the design earthquake, the filtering of high frequencies in order to minimize the number of elements in the mesh, the introduction of silent boundaries, the choice of proper constitutive soil models including the representation of hysteretic damping, among others points. The seismic response of the dam, under the conditions of full and empty reservoir, was obtained in terms of permanent displacements, displacement history, amplifications horizontal acceleration amplification, porepressure distribution and potential of cyclic failure in the saturated material of the core of the dam.

To meet the economic, social and infrastructure needs of the community for safe and efficient transportation systems, long span bridges have been built throughout the world. Long span bridges are one of the most challenging kinds of structures in civil engineering. The cable-stayed bridges are of great interest mainly as an alternative and a more economic solution than the one of suspension bridges. In addition, the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are, nowadays, successfully used for constructing modern bridges, where the significant weight saving provides additional benefits. Because of the great flexibility, modern long-span cable-stayed bridges are usually very susceptible to dynamic loads especially to the earthquake and strong winds. Therefore, the earthquake-resistant and wind-resistant designs become one of key issues for successful construction of bridges. The objective of the present research is to develop a very efficient spline finite strip technique, for modelling and analysis of both conventional and hybrid FRP cable-stayed bridges. The study falls into the categories of bending, free vibration, seismic, and aerodynamic flutter analysis. The spline finite strip method (SFSM) is one of the most efficient numerical methods for structural analysis of bridges, reducing the time required for estimating the structural response without affecting the degree of accuracy. In the finite strip method, the degrees of freedom could be significantly reduced due to the semi-analytical nature of this method. However, the previous versions of SFSM are not able to model the entire bridge system. For that reason, the structural interactions between different structural components of the bridge could not be handled. In addition, the vibrations and displacements of the towers and cables could not be investigated. In the present formulation, all these obstacles have been eliminated. Moreover, the proposed finite strip technique is very efficient and accurate due to the drastic reduction in the formulation time, simplicity of data preparation, rapid rate convergence of the results, and the semi-analytical nature. Last but not least, and for the first time, a fully finite strip solution is extended to the area of wind engineering. Using the spline finite strip discretization, the aerodynamic stiffness and mass properties of the long-span cable-stayed bridge are derived. The aerodynamic properties along with the structural properties of long-span plates and bridges are formulated in the aerodynamic equation of motion and are used to analyze the flutter problem. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed advanced finite strip method is verified against the finite element and field measurement results. The results demonstrate that this methodology and the associated computer code can accurately predict the dynamic and aerodynamic responses of the conventional and FRP long-span cable-stayed bridge systems. The outcome of the present research will lead to a comprehensive structural analysis of bridges in the framework of the proposed discretization which is more efficient and straightforward than the finite element analysis.

Estudam-se os tópicos da interação entre o sistema de tubulação e a estrutura que o suporta mediante o uso de espectros acoplados, a consideração do efeito do deslocamento relativo dos apoios da tubulação, usando-se espectros que o consideram ou uma excitação espectral múltipla, a introdução da combinação dos máximos modais dependendo da posição relativa das suas freqüências e a inclusão da resposta espectral correspondente aos modos de alta freqüência ou modos rígidos. A ferramenta básica de análise é constituída pelo programa computacional ANSYS. A avaliação é feita sobre parâmetros de esforços internos em trechos de um modelo de um sistema real de tubulações da usina nuclear brasileira, Angra 3. Os padrões são obtidos por análises no tempo de cada modelo sob o acelerograma de projeto. Conclusões são apresentadas sobre as atitudes mais convenientes para a atual conjuntura brasileira de projeto. / [en] The main concern of this work is with the application of the modal spectral seismic analysis to secondary structural systems of nuclear power plants, with the large amount of conservatism which is included in them, and, of course, with the consequences to the particular case of the plants under construction in Brazil. One considers the design analysis methods which have been used so far in Brazil, as well as the most recent developments in the area, in USA and in Europe, to conclude about the adequacy of those procedures and recommend eventual changes to them. One then studies the subjects of the coupling effect between the primary and secondary system responses, the influence of the piping support relative displacements, the contribution of the cross-correlation among response modal components and the participation in the overall response of the so-called rigid modes. The main computer program aid is taken from an ANSYS-2 version and one uses a reduced model of a piping system as the secondary system and a 3-D beam element model of a reactor building as the primary system. The spectral analysis results are compared to time domain solutions using the same structural models excited by a design accelerogram. Conclusions and recommendations are oriented to the present design practice in Brazil. / [es] En esta tesis se presenta un estudio de evaluación de los criterios y métodos que se emplean actualmente en el análisis y proyecto de los sistemas de tubulación en las plantas nucleares así como la verificación de la aplicación de algunos de los nuevos criterios presentados por la comunidad técnico-científica internacional, dentro del método de análisis modal-espectral.

The numerical modeling is performed using the finite element method with material modulus that exhibit either stress state (static analysis) or strain state (dynamic analysis) dependency. General behavior characteristics of earth dams subjected to static and dynamic loads are initially presented. The main factors influencing the static and dynamic responses are also indicated e briefly discussed.Mathematical formulations and the numerical algorithms considered in the development of a computer code specially written for this research, such as interface elements, infinite elements, viscous boundaries, etc., are fully described with several illustrative examples to validate their application.
