Shaking table tests and dynamic analyses of masonry wall buildings with frame-shear walls at lower stories

This paper describes shaking table tests of three eight-story building models： all are masonry structures in the upper stories, with or without frame-shear walls of one- or two- stories at the bottom. The test results of damage characteristics and seismic responses are provided and compared. Then, nonlinear response analyses are conducted to examine the reliability of the dynamic analysis. Finally, many nonlinear response analyses are performed and it is concluded that for relatively hard sites under a certain lateral stiffness ratio （i.e., the ratio of the stiffness of the lowest upper masonry story to that of the frame- shear wall story）, the masonry structure with one-story frame-shear wall at the bottom performs better than a structure built entirely of masonry, and a masonry structure with frame-shear wall of two stories performs better than with one-story frame- shear wall. In relatively soft soil conditions, all three structures have similar performane. In addition, some suggestions that could be helpful for design of masonry structures with ground story of frame-shear wall structure in seismic intensity region VII, such as the appropriate lateral stiffness ratio, shear force increase factor of the frame-shear wall story, and permissible maximum height of the building, are proposed.

多层砖房底部两层框架抗震变形性能分析

为实现多层砖房底部两层框架结构的加固,需要研究其抗震变形性能。以某底部两层框架、上部四层砖房建筑为对象,通过STRAND7有限元软件构建有限元计算模型,考虑水平荷载与垂直荷载,深入分析多层砖房底部两层框架抗震变形性能。仿真结果表明,建筑结构振型受结构横向楼板刚度的影响较显著,不同振型的频率变化中,X向1阶频率与Y向2阶频率变化最快,楼板平面内弯曲频率变化最慢;整体结构在X向与Y向分别呈现线性剪切变形和弯剪变形,Y向上由于填充墙发挥抗震墙功能,底部两层框架变形较小;在7度多遇地震影响下,底部两层结构中第二层楼板变形较第一层严重,多层砖房底部两层框架建筑结构处于弹性工作状态。     

楼层侧向刚度比对砌体结构地震易损性的影响分析

砌体结构的震害现象表明楼层侧向刚度不均匀分布是造成其破坏的重要原因之一。本文开展楼层侧向刚度变化对结构易损性的影响分析。以3层和6层砌体结构为例,采用等效多自由度层间剪切模型,基于非线性动力时程分析,定量研究了竖向刚度不规则性对砌体结构易损性的影响。以结构最大层间位移角为地震反应参数,借助增量动力分析及回归拟合方法,建立了基于峰值加速度的结构易损性曲线。通过改变楼层的侧向刚度值来模拟薄弱层,研究了楼层刚度变化对结构不同破坏状态超越概率的影响。通过改变底层与二层的侧向刚度比,分析了底部刚度突变对结构不同破坏状态超越概率分布的影响。研究表明:与规则结构相比,当刚度突变位于结构底层时,在地震作用下结构易损性相对较高;随着底层与二层的侧向刚度比从0.5增大至1.2,结构易损性逐渐降低。当刚度比为1.5时,结构薄弱层由底层转移至二层,结构整体易损性增加;当底层与二层侧向刚度比小于1时,结构倒塌易损性要显著高于规则结构。     

Seismic response of a case study soft story frame retrofitted using a GIB system

This paper presents results from a numerical investigation into the seismic retrofit of a soft story frame using a novel gapped‐inclined brace (GIB) system. The GIB system consists of a pinned brace and a gap element that is added to the first story columns of the frame. The inclusion of GIB elements in addition to increasing the lateral capacity of columns at the first story increases the post‐yield stiffness ratio of the system and reduces the P‐delta effects on the columns, while not increasing the first story lateral resistance or stiffness. This allows for the isolating benefits of the soft story to protect the upper floors of the structure from damage while avoiding excessive deformations and reducing the propensity for collapse. A six‐story RC frame with masonry infills on all floors except for the first floor is studied. The dynamic response of the retrofitted building using the GIB system is investigated numerically and is compared with the response of the original un‐retrofitted building and the same building in which masonry infills are added to the first story to mitigate the soft story response. Results from the nonlinear time‐history analyses indicate that the GIB system could provide a reliable seismic retrofit mechanism for soft story buildings, which greatly reduces the likelihood of collapse by increasing the displacement capacity of the soft storey and by reducing P‐delta effects, while minimizing the overall damage and losses in the building by taking advantages of the isolation that is provided by the soft story to the rest of the structure located above.

Non-linear static analysis of masonry buildings based on a strut-and-tie modeling

This paper presents an analytical method for evaluating the capacity curve of masonry buildings according to non-linear static analysis. This method splits the building into stories, and the vertical structures of each story into masonry panels, which are analyzed individually by a new push-over analysis. The behavior of each panel is reproduced with an evolutive strut-and-tie model, which simulates the uncracked and cracked behavior of the panel subjected to a vertical constant force and a lateral force that increases up to the complete development of the failure mechanism. The strut-and-tie model provides the capacity curve of the panel. The composition of the capacity curves of all the panels of a story provides the capacity curve of this story. The capacity curves of all the stories of the building can be used to obtain either the maximum drift that the building can withstand or the behavior factor of the structure. Either outcome allows the specific dissipation capacity and overstrength of the masonry building to be considered in the seismic analyses, which provides ultimate limit state verifications with more reliability.The proposed method is applied to a school building. The comparison between seismic safety assessed with this method and with a linear dynamic analysis, all other parameters being equal, shows that the latter approach is overly-conservative and misleading. In fact, the specific inelastic capacity, which only the former approach can consider, influences greatly the seismic behavior of the case study.

Seismic behavior of a partially grouted reinforced masonry structure: Shake-table testing and numerical analyses

In regions of low to moderate seismicity in North America, reinforced masonry structures are mostly partially grouted. The behavior of such structures under lateral seismic loads is complicated because of the interaction of the grouted and ungrouted masonry. As revealed in past experimental studies, the performance of partially grouted masonry (PGM) walls under in-plane cyclic lateral loading is inferior to that of fully grouted walls. However, the dynamic behavior of a PGM wall system under severe seismic loads is not well understood. In this study, a full-scale, one-story, PGM building designed for a moderate seismic zone according to current code provisions was tested on a shake table. It was shown that the structure was able to develop an adequate base shear capacity and withstand two earthquake motions that had an effective intensity of two times the maximum considered earthquake with only moderate cracking in mortar joints. However, the structure eventually failed in a brittle manner in a subsequent motion that had a slightly lower effective intensity. A detailed finite element model of the test structure has been developed and validated. The model has been used to understand the distribution of the lateral force resistance among the wall components and to evaluate the shear-strength equation given in the design code. The code equation has been found to be adequate for this structure. Furthermore, a parametric study conducted with the finite element model has shown that the introduction of a continuous bond beam right below a window opening is highly beneficial.

小高层住宅结构方案--大开洞剪力墙与异型柱框剪结构对比分析

通过对某小区小高层住宅2种结构方案的综合讨论,分析了小高层住宅的合理结构型式,提出了设计建议可供工程设计参考。异型柱框架-剪力墙结构框架柱布置灵活、隐蔽性好,但其柱截面不规则、计算理论不成熟、抗震能力较差、构造措施不理想、而且建筑自振周期长,侧向位移大,难以用于较高的高层住宅和抗震烈度较高的地区;大开洞剪力墙结构受力明确、计算理论成熟,又有较为精确的计算程序,而且墙厚可以在规范允许的范围内减薄,从而进一步降低了工程造价。通过2种方案比较,认为大开洞剪力墙体系与异型柱框剪结构相比,配筋总量基本接近,但其侧移较小,具有较好的延性,可应用于小高层住宅和地震烈度较高地区并可取得显著经济效益。

Seismic performance of buildings retrofitted with nonlinear viscous dampers and adjacent reaction towers

An effective strategy of seismic retrofitting consists of installing nonlinear viscous dampers between the existing building, with insufficient lateral resistance, and some auxiliary towers, specially designed and erected as reaction structures. This allows improving the seismic performance of the existing building without any major alteration to its structural and nonstructural elements, which makes this approach particularly appealing for buildings with heritage value. In this paper, the nonlinear governing equations of the coupled lateral‐torsional seismic motion are derived from first principles for the general case of a multistory building connected at various locations in plan and in elevation to an arbitrary number of multistory towers. This formulation is then used to assess the performance of the proposed retrofitting strategy for a real case study, namely, a 5‐story student hall of residence in the city of Messina, Italy. The results of extensive time‐history analyses highlight the key design considerations associated with the stiffness of the reaction towers and the mechanical parameters of the nonlinear viscous dampers, confirming the validity of this approach.
