Design, Manufacture, Transport and Integration on-site in Chile of ALMA Antennas • Antenna Seismic Verification • PM#04- 17-18 May 2006 • Dated November 18h, 2005
Antenna Seismic Verification References: • Eurocode 8, Design provisions for earthquake resistance of structures • ALMA Environmental Specification:ALMA-80.05.02.00-001-B-SPE • FEM Model: ANTD-33-000003-001-C-FEM
The Antenna Seismic Verification has been performed by a FEM Spectrum Analysis • Steps in a Spectrum Analysis: • Obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure by performing a Modal Analysis • 50 natural frequencies and modes up to 35 Hz have been considered
Given the Response Spectrum, calculate the Modal Response of each mode • Single Point Response Spectrum Analysis • A unique Excitation has been applied to the Antenna foundations • Combination of the seismic action components according to Eurocode 8 • Calculate the Total Modal Response of the whole structure by combining the Modal Response of each mode • SRSS (Square Root of the Sum of the Squares) Method
ALMA response spectrum from environmental specification According to Eurocode 8: • Combination of the horizontal component of the seismic action: • Ex “+” 0.30Ey • 0.30Ex “+” Ey • The vertical component of the seismic action has to be taken in account only in some cases (i.e. for cantilever elements) • it will be considered only for the platforms sub-assembly
Natural frequencies and modes have been calculated up to 50th mode – 35 Hz ALMA - Spectrum Analysis.xls
