Dynamic Response of a Single-storey Model With Added 3D Printed Diagonal Elements

Završni rad „Dinamički odgovor jednokatnih modela s dodanim 3D printanim dijagonalnim štapovima“ bavi se promatranjem oscilacija jednokatnih okvirnih modela uslijed djelovanja potresnih valova iz četiri potresna zapisa (El Centro, Kobe, Cape Mendocino i Northridge). Posebno se promatraju jednokatni modeli bez i sa dijagonalnim štapovima. Eksperimenti su provedeni u Laboratoriju za konstrukcije na Građevinskom fakultetu u Rijeci na potresnoj platformi Quanser ST-III i snimana optičkim mjernim sustavom GOM mbH PONTOS 3D 4M. Na temelju usporedbe dobivenih rezultata za okvir bez dijagonala i s dodanim dijagonalama donesen je zaključak da ovakvi 3D printani dijagonalni elementi smanjuju amplitude oscilacija okvira i povećavaju prigušenje.The undergraduate thesis „Dynamic response of single-storey models with added 3D printed diagonal elements" deals with the observation of oscillations of a single-storey frame model due to seismic waves form four seismic records (El Centro, Kobe, Cape Mendocino, and Northridge). Single-storey models without and with added diagonal rods are observed separately. All experiments are conducted in the Laboratory for structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Rijeka on the Quanser ST-III seismic platform and monitored with the GOM mbH PONTOS 3D 4M optical measuring system. Based on the comparison between the results obtained for the model without and with added diagonals, it is concluded that 3D printed diagonal elements as these decrease the amplitudes of oscillations of the frame, as we as increase the damping
