1 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation for structural motion control Limitations of conventional structural design The word, design, has two meanings. When used as a verb it is defined as the act of creating a description of an artifact. It is also used as a noun, and in this case, is defined as the output of the activity, i.e., the description. In this text, structural design is considered to be the activity involved in defining the physical makeup of the structural system. In general, the “designed” structure has to satisfy a set of requirements pertaining to safety and serviceability. Safety relates to extreme loadings which are likely to occur no more than once during a structure’s life. The concerns here are the collapse of the structure, major damage to the structure and its contents, and loss of life. Serviceability pertains to moderate loadings which may occur several times during the structure’s lifetime. For service loadings, the structure should remain fully operational, i.e. the structure should suffer negligible damage, and furthermore, the motion experienced by the structure should not exceed specified comfort limits for humans and motion sensitive equipment mounted on the structure. An example of a human comfort limit is the restriction on the acceleration; humans begin to feel uncomfortable when the acceleration reaches about . A comprehensive discussion of human comfort0.02g 2 Chapter 1: Introduction criteria is given by Bachmann and Ammann (1987). Safety concerns are satisfied by requiring the resistance (i.e. strength) of the individual structural elements to be greater than the demand associated with the extreme loading. The conventional structural design process proportions the structure based on strength requirements, establishes the corresponding stiffness properties, and then checks the various serviceability constraints such as elastic behavior. Iteration is usually necessary for convergence to an acceptable structural design. This approach is referred to as strength based design since the elements are proportioned according to strength requirements. Applying a strength based approach for preliminary design is appropriate when strength is the dominant design requirement. In the past, most structural design problems have fallen in this category. However, a number of developments have occurred recently which have limited the effectiveness of the strength based approach. Firstly, the trend toward more flexible structures such as tall buildings and longer span horizontal structures has resulted in more structural motion under service loading, thus shifting the emphasis from safety toward serviceability. For instance, the wind induced lateral deflection of the Empire State Building in New York City, one of the earliest tall buildings in the United States, is several inches whereas the wind induced lateral deflection of the World Trade Center tower is several feet, an order of magnitude increase. This difference is due mainly to the increased height and slenderness of the World Trade Center in comparison to the Empire State tower. Furthermore, satisfying the limitation on acceleration is a difficult design problem for tall slender buildings. Secondly, some of the new types of facilities such as space platforms and semi-conductor manufacturing centers have more severe design constraints on motion than the typical civil structure. In the case of microdevice manufacturing, the environment has to be essentially motion free. Space platforms used to support mirrors have to maintain a certain shape to a small tolerance in order for the mirror to properly function. The design strategy for motion sensitive structures is to proportion the members based on the stiffness needed to satisfy the motion constraints, and then check if the strength requirements are satisfied. Thirdly, recent advances in material science and engineering have resulted in significant increases in the strength of traditional civil engineering materials 1.1 Motivation for Structural Motion Control 3 such as steel and concrete, as well as a new generation of composite materials. Although the strength of structural steel has essentially doubled, its elastic modulus has remained constant. Also, there has been some increase in the elastic modulus for concrete, but this improvement is still small in comparison to the increment in strength. The lag in material stiffness versus material strength has led to a problem with satisfying the serviceability requirements on the various motion parameters. Indeed, for very high strength materials, it is possible for the serviceability requirements to be dominant. Some examples presented in the following sections illustrate this point. Motion based structural design and motion control Motion based structural design is an alternate design process which is more effective for the structural design problem described above. This approach takes as its primary objective the satisfaction of motion related design requirements, and views strength as a constraint, not as a primary requirement. Motion based structural design employs structural motion control methods to deal with motion issues. Structural motion control is an emerging engineering discipline concerned with the broad range of issues associated with the motion of structural systems such as the specification of motion requirements governed by human and equipment comfort, and the use of energy storage, dissipation, and absorption devices to control the motion generated by design loadings. Structural motion control provides the conceptional framework for the design of structural systems where motion is the dominant design consideration. Generally, one seeks the optimal deployment of material and motion control mechanisms to achieve the design targets on motion as well as satisfy the constraints on strength. In what follows, a series of examples which reinforce the need for an alternate design paradigm having motion rather than strength as its primary focus, and illustrate the application of structural motion control methods to simple structures is presented. The first three examples deal with the issue of strength versus serviceability from a static perspective for building type structures. The discussion then shifts to the dynamic regime. A single-degree-of- freedom (SDOF) system is used to introduce the strategy for handling motion constraints for dynamic excitation. The last example extends the discussion further to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, and illustrates how to deal with one of the key issues of structural motion control, determining the optimal stiffness distribution. Following the examples, an overview of structural motion control methodology is presented. 4 Chapter 1: Introduction 1.2 Motion versus strength issues for building type structures Building configurations have to simultaneously satisfy the requirements of site (location and geometry), building functionality (occupancy needs), appearance, and economics. These requirements significantly influence the choice of the structural system and the corresponding design loads. Buildings are subjected to two types of loadings: gravity loads consisting of the actual weight of the structural system and the material, equipment, and people contained in the building, and lateral loads consisting mainly of wind and earthquake loads. Both wind and earthquake loadings are dynamic in nature and produce significant amplification over their static counterpart. The relative importance of wind versus earthquake depends on the site location, building height, and structural makeup. For steel buildings, the transition from earthquake dominant to wind dominant loading for a seismically active region occurs when the building height reaches approximately . Concrete buildings, because of their larger mass, are controlled by earthquake loading up to at least a height of , since the additional gravity load increases the seismic forces. In regions where the earthquake action is low (e.g. Chicago in the USA), the transition occurs at a much lower height, and the design is governed primarily by wind loading. When a low rise building is designed for gravity loads, it is very likely that the underlying structure can carry most of the lateral loads. As the building height increases, the overturning moment and lateral deflection resulting from the lateral loads increase rapidly, requiring additional material over and above that needed for the gravity loads alone. Figure 1.1 (Taranath, 1988) illustrates how the unit weight of the structural steel required for the different loadings varies with the number of floors. There is a substantial weight cost associated with lateral loading. 100m 250m 1.2 Motion Versus Strength Issues for Building Type Structure 5 Fig. 1.1: Structural steel quantities for gravity and wind systems To illustrate the dominance of motion over strength as the slenderness of the structure increases, the uniform cantilever beam shown in Fig. 1.2 is considered. The lateral load is taken as a concentrated force applied to the tip of the beam, and is assumed to be static. The limiting cases of a pure shear beam and a pure bending beam are examined.

When the bending rigidity is very large, the displacement, , at the tip of the beam is due mainly to shear deformation, and can be estimated as (1.2) where is the shear modulus and is the height of the beam. This model is called a shear beam. The shear area needed to satisfy the strength requirement follows from eqn (1.1): (1.3) where is the allowable stress. Noting eqn (1.2), the shear area needed to satisfy the serviceability requirement on displacement is (1.4) where denotes the allowable displacement. The ratio of the area required to satisfy serviceability to the area required to satisfy strength provides an estimate of the relative importance of the motion design constraints versus the strength design constraints (1.5) Figure 1.3 shows the variation of r with .

Furthermore, an increase in the allowable shear stress, , also increases the dominance of the displacement constraint. Fig. 1.3: Plot of versus for a pure shear beam Example 1.2: Cantilever bending beam When the shear rigidity is very large, shear deformation is negligible, and the beam is called a “bending” beam. The maximum bending moment in the structure occurs at the base and equals (1.6) The resulting maximum stress is (1.7) where is the section modulus, is the moment of inertia of the cross-section about the bending axis, and is the depth of the cross-section (see Fig. 1.2).

The ratio of the moment of inertia required to satisfy serviceability to the moment of inertia required to satisfy strength has the form (1.11) Figure 1.4 shows the variation of with for a constant value of the aspect ratio ( for tall buildings). Similar to the case of the shear beam, an increase in places more emphasis on the displacement since it corresponds to a decrease in the allowable displacement, , for a constant . Also, an increase in the allowable stress, , increases the importance of the displacement constraint. For example, consider a standard strength steel beam with an allowable stress of , a modulus of elasticity of , and an aspect ratio of . The value of at which a transition from strength to serviceability occurs is (1.12) For , and motion controls the design.

Fig. 1.4: Plot of versus for a pure bending beam Example 1.3: Quasi-shear beam frame This example compares strength vs. motion based design for a single bay frame of height and load (see Fig. 1.5). For simplicity, a very stiff girder is assumed, resulting in a frame that displays quasi-shear beam behavior. Furthermore, the columns are considered to be identical, each characterized by a modulus of elasticity , and a moment of inertia about the bending axis .
