Abstract:The dynamic and earthquake response of a bell towers founded on soft soil layers is examined here. The dynamic and earthquake response of such a bell towers is numerically simulated together with a number of layers of the underlying soil. The earthquake response is examined for a variety of load combination conditions employing design spectra as well as the ground motion recorded at a small distance from this bell tower during a prototype earthquake motion. Towards this end, the variation of the recorded groun… Show more
