Four structural configurations of a Korean piloti reinforced concrete building were analyzed via quasi-static analysis in SAP2000. The study compares a fixed-base structure, a fully base-isolated structure, and two selective isolation schemes. Results from Shi Mo, published via Harvard Dataverse in 2026, demonstrate the performance of different seismic isolation designs.
Use Cases
- Compare seismic performance of fixed-base versus base-isolated structures based on the described analysis of plastic hinges and structural responses.
- Evaluate the efficacy of full versus selective lead-rubber bearing isolation schemes based on the described metrics of lateral displacement, drift, and energy dissipation.
- Assess the vulnerability of piloti structures to soft-story mechanisms based on the described quasi-static analysis of shear failures.
- Model the behavior of lead-rubber bearings under lateral loads based on the described comparative study of four structural configurations.
Strengths
- Analysis includes four distinct structural configurations for direct comparison.
- Study evaluates multiple performance metrics including plastic hinge state, lateral displacement, drift, and cumulative energy dissipation.
- Focuses on a specific and prevalent building type (piloti RC structures) in high-density urban environments.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is based on a simulation of a typical structure; real-world validation may be required.
