Effect of structural period and ground motion parameters on the earthquake response of asymmetric buildings

The results of a parametric study of torsional coupling effects in the response of asymmetric buildings to a grouped selection of 45 strong motion earthquakes from Europe, North America, the Middle East and Southern Pacific are presented. The period dependency of the key response parameters is studied in relation to the site dependent criteria employed by certain earthquake-resistant design codes for specifying the lateral shear forces to be resisted by the structural frames and/or walls. Unlike lateral forces, the torsional response is relatively insensitive to the ration of peak ground accelaration to velocity, which has been used in previous studies as a measure of the effect on earthquake ground motions of site soil conditions and epicentral distance. The results show that the effect of torsional coupling on edge displacement response is more pronounced in stiff, short period structures. However, the dynamic shear and torque responses are relatively insensitive to variations in structural period. Codified design provisions for torsional effects specified in the United States, Canadian and European seismic building regulations are assessed, along with alternative proposals, in relation to the analytical results. It is concluded that in some cases special provisions are needed for short period asymmetric systems, a feature which has been neglected by the codes and inadequately accounted for in previous proposals.

Interfacial Dipoles and Radiated Energy

Electric dipoles radiate an electromagnetic field into their surroundings. The electric and magnetic fields from a point source or from linear dipoles have components parallel to a spherical surface but also a radial component. In most investigations on radiated fields, only the part of the electric field that is parallel to a spherical surface is taken into account. The argument is that only that component contributes to the radiated energy. Here we show that the phase front in the lower half space is not a spherical surface and hence, the radial components contribute to radiated energy. We show differences in radiation patterns for point electric dipoles and linear dipoles, either modeled as perfectly conducting wires or as resistively loaded wires. Our primary interest lies with improving image resolution through processing of Ground-Penetrating Radar data. Here the emphasis lies with understanding the radiation characteristics of linear dipoles that can be incorporated with image processing algorithms. The model uses a thin-wire approximation for the transmitter antenna. The solution to the discrete system of equations is solved, incorporating interaction between the interface, using a CGFFT scheme including symmetrization and a newly developed preconditioning operator. We look at the electric and magnetic fields as well as the time-averaged Poynting vector radiation patterns in the E-plane and H-plane of the transmitting antenna. The results show that the radial component of the radiated electric and magnetic field is not negligible, even at distances more than seven wavelengths away from the antennas.     

Compact equivalent circuit model of two‐layer spiral inductors

A compact lumped‐element equivalent circuit model of two‐layer integrated spiral inductors on silicon substrates is developed in this article. Based on this proposed model, excellent agreements are achieved between the measured and simulated S‐parameters for different inductors. Also, both self‐ and mutual inductances of two‐layer inductors are accurately extracted, and their overall performances are understood clearly. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
