Abstract
Natural disasters like earthquake, wind etc. are one of the most fearsome
geological phenomena and if not managed properly can lead to
devastating consequences to both life and property. The numbers of
natural disaster occurrences and the cost of damages have increased
exponentially in the last two decades. Disaster resistant structures are
indispensable. It is imperative that structures are designed to resist the
extreme events like earthquake and wind forces, in order to reduce the
hazardous risks associated with it. Therefore, the need for designing and
constructing structures for predictable performances under extreme
events has been increased. Of course, the future of disaster-resistant
design is a function of the past performances of such designs. Today, we
understand disaster especially earthquake to a great extent that how our
built structures will respond to a wide range of earthquake. The challenges
therefore are to develop new techniques and improve existing practices in
design and construction of structures, to attain acceptable performances
of structures.
Essentially, the objective of the study is to develop a mathematical model
that produces a core dwelling unit which should be safe to withstand a
wide spectrum of earthquake while preventing structural damage during
moderate earthquake and collapse during severe earthquake ground
shaking in the adjoining structure. To carry out this task, probabilistic
analysis will be performed on regular and modified structures using
models that the structure will not reach a specified state of failure.
Probabilities of failure and reliability index are the two terms of primary
importance in this analysis. To evaluate this first order second moment
(FOSM) reliability method and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) will be used
in the study. In first part of the thesis, a three-dimensional structural
model (with improved earthquake resistant design) for nonlinear structural
dynamic analysis will be proposed and studied. The second part of the
thesis investigates the issues related to mechanical joint modelling of core
unit with the adjoining structure and also considering other extreme
events like wind etc.

Introduction
1.1 Motivation and problem definition
Structural models are used in the field of engineering to study and predict
the behaviour of real structures. They are often found at the design stage
of a mechanical product, when the effect of physical modifications on the
total response of the structure needs to be understood before the real
fabrication is carried out. Of course, physical models are very useful tools
in engineering for their directness and visual impact. For a long time,
physical modifications on the products were the only choice, and these are
made mainly based on experience, if not via a pure trial-and-error
approach. From the economic point of view, cutting down the time and
resources can largely improve the nations growth, which is in fact the
driving force behind the development of structural modelling techniques
in the construction industries. The demand is clearly there, so is the
challenge is to develop an efficient structural model that can be processed

Research Proposal
2.1 Problem Statement
For many years, the basic intent of the building code seismic provision has
been to provide buildings with an ability to withstand intense ground
shaking without collapse but potentially with some significant damage.
However, for regions with a high population density and a lower level of
development i.e. in developing countries this damage may cause
casualties on a greater extent. In the present study, the basic problem is

Structural Modelling
3.1.1 Spatial Model
Most of the structural dynamic analyses are carried out with the
assumption of linearity in structures behaviour, even though nonlinearity
is the underlying actuality. The first option of a structural model is derived
from the structures most tangible physical properties: its mass, elasticity
and energy dissipation mechanisms. The simplest Spatial Model consists
of a single mass, spring and damper that form a so-called Single Degree
of Freedom (SDOF) model. Both rigid body motion and deformation of the
structure itself are important for a better understanding of the
performance of the structure under dynamic loading. The deformation
shape as well as its amplitude can only be described with more than one
displacement coordinate, which is in the form of a set of discrete points
along the structure. The MDOF structural model is derived from the
equation of motion, which is formulated by expressing the equilibrium of
the effective forces associated with each of its degree of freedom. In

Normally, it is assumed that only viscous-type damping exists in the
concerned structure. In the same way as for the elastic forces, the
damping force at a certain DOF is the linear combination of damping
effects at all the DOFs, and it can be expressed as

All the off-diagonal items in the above mass matrix are zero if they are
derived with the assumption that the element mass is concentrated at
those nodal points and only translational degrees of freedom are used to
describe the motion. The total mass concentrated at any node is the sum
of the contribution from all the elements attached to the nodal point. The
mass matrix created in this way is called Lumped Mass Matrix.

3.1.3 Nonlinear Joint Model
11
From the structural modelling point of view, the jointed connections can
be in different physical forms so long as the kinetic and kinematic
constrains are considered properly, which is of course the difficult part of
joint modelling. Joints are normally treated separately from the remaining
structural components. One of the reasons is that it is impossible to have
a generalised joint model. This is in contrast to the structural components
that can all be modelled by defining the mass, stiffness and damping
matrices from the design data with frequency response data from past
experiment. The physics of such constraints is rather different, and in
some cases it is difficult to come up with a mathematical description
without significant simplification.
One typical example is a friction joint. Joints are major sources of
nonlinearity in an assembly. This is also part of the reason why joints
should be treated separately from other components. If linear joint models
and normal structural coupling techniques can solve the problem within
the required accuracy, there is no need to go for nonlinear methods. The
fact is that nonlinear models need more parameters to describe the
behaviour sufficiently. In a linear system, less joint parameters are
required and they can be easily adjusted based on the discrepancies
between the experiment and simulation data. Secondly, a nonlinear joint
model must be presented in a form that is ready to be integrated with the
remaining structural component models. It can be developed either from
the study of the fundamental physics of the joint, and the other is from
experiment considering friction and geometric nonlinearity.

At any section, using the plane sections remain plane hypothesis under
pure bending, the curvature can be computed as the ratio of the normal
strain at any point across the depth to the distance measured from the
neutral axis at that section. If the bending produces extreme fibre strains

tension at bottom assumed in this case), then, for small deformations, it
