Dynamic Response Spectrum Analysis of Structures
Speaker: Arturo Guadalquiver, Structural Engineer, KBR
Mr Arturo Guadalquiver works with KBR in Brisbane, has over 20 years’ experience primarily as a structural engineer, with expertise in structural engineering of bridges and buildings, and as a geotechnical engineer. Throughout his career in the Philippines, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Brunei, Mr Guadalquiver has been involved in a wide range of buildings, industrial and infrastructure projects including road and pedestrian bridges, pavements, geotechnical analysis and investigation, slope stability, and design of shallow and deep foundations. He has designed bridges, buildings and towers in highly seismic areas and was also a member of the Inspection Team sent by the Philippine Government in the inspection and assessment of buildings and bridges during the 1999 Chi-chi Taiwan 7.6 magnitude earthquake.
Presentation Synopsis:
The dynamic analysis of structures is a requirement in performing seismic analysis of special category structures in most codes around the world including Australia. It can be performed using the response spectrum analysis by using earthquake acceleration records or response spectra with the mathematical model of the structure. The structural response is represented by the linear superposition of various mode shapes and corresponding frequencies.
The presentation is a review of the theory and mathematical model with practical examples in performing response spectrum analysis using commercially available programs and using the response spectra in AS1170.4-2007. Practicing engineers will learn from this presentation on how response spectrum analysis can easily be carried out for their actual office design jobs.
