考虑温度影响的LRB隔震建筑地震响应分析

为研究温度对铅芯橡胶支座(LRB)性能的影响,进行支座拟静力试验。试验表明,在不同温度环境中试件的滞回曲线明显不同,支座的刚度和屈服剪力均随温度的升高而降低;低温时,支座的力学特性变化较大,而当温度大于20℃时,支座的力学特性趋于稳定。以某五层基础隔震建筑为例,编写基础隔震结构非线性时程分析程序NBIS,计算该隔震建筑在考虑温度影响后的地震响应。结果表明,在多遇地震作用下支座恢复力随温度的升高而降低,与罕遇地震下的变化趋势相反;考虑LRB温度影响后,该基础隔震结构的减震系数随环境温度的降低而增大,支座的最大位移随温度升高而增大。     

土-结构相互作用对铅芯橡胶支座隔震效果的影响

现有的基础隔震理论大多沿用刚性地基假定,忽略土-结构相互作用。由于地基土的柔性和无限性,土-结构相互作用会对基础隔震体系的隔震机理产生直接影响。因此,考虑土-结构动力相互作用对隔震结构体系隔震效果影响的研究十分必要。本文把地基土视为匀质、各向同性的黏弹性半空间,用等效双线型恢复力模型模拟铅芯橡胶支座的非线性,建立基础隔震体系单质点力学模型和运动方程。通过ANSYS软件进行数值模拟,用D-P材料考虑土的材料非线性,用接触单元模拟土与结构的接触非线性,分析土-结构动力相互作用对铅芯橡胶支座隔震效果的影响。     

LRB基础隔震结构在极罕遇地震作用下的抗震性能研究

以典型的四层、六层和八层LRB(铅芯橡胶隔震支座)基础隔震结构为研究对象,通过大量的弹塑性时程分析,对极罕遇地震作用下的地震响应特点进行了分析;采用参数化方法,研究了隔震系统的力学性能参数和上部结构屈服强度比的变化对LRB基础隔震结构抗震性能的影响。结果表明:在极罕遇地震作用下,LRB基础隔震结构上部结构首层的层间位移角和延性系数明显增大;延长LRB隔震系统的隔震周期或选择最优的特征屈服强度比,均可显著降低上部结构的塑性变形程度,但LRB屈服位移的变化对隔震结构的响应几乎无影响;LRB隔震系统参数确定后,隔震结构上部结构的损伤状态主要与上部结构力学性能参数中的屈服强度比相关,增大上部结构的屈服强度比,可以显著降低上部结构的层间位移角和延性系数,但是隔震支座的平均最大剪应变会增大,可以选用橡胶剪切模量大或者直径大、第二形状系数小的LRB隔震支座。     

隔震铅芯橡胶支座变形发热及其强度退化研究综述

铅芯橡胶支座（lead-rubber bearing,LRB）是目前应用最为广泛的减隔震装置,普遍应用于建筑、桥梁、储罐和核电站等结构,其抗震性能已在屡次地震中得以验证。当LRB承受大幅值的往复变形时,其力学性能受内部铅芯发热的影响而发生显著变化,主要表现在滞回耗能、特征强度和刚度的降低等方面。首先,总结了铅芯橡胶支座及其结构在以往地震中的震害情况,介绍了预测LRB内部铅芯变形发热和温度升高的理论及近似求解方法,以及基于试验和有限元的验证方法及注意事项;其次,概述了LRB因内部铅芯变形发热导致其强度退化的分析模型和强度退化对结构地震反应的影响;最后,归纳了隔震结构在进行模型试验时,铅芯橡胶支座的相似理论和缩尺问题。     

大型LRB基础隔震储罐支座参数优化配置研究

铅芯橡胶支座(LRB)参数的优化配置是大型LRB基础隔震储罐设计的关键问题。采用Bouc-Wen模型模拟LRB的非线性力学性能,结合Newmark增量法和龙格库塔积分法求解了隔震储罐非线性动力方程,得到了不同类型场地上大型LRB隔震储罐的地震响应特点和设计参数优化配置规律。研究结果表明:支座隔震频率是影响大型隔震储罐减震效果的主要参数。I类场地上最优隔震频率范围为0.5～5rad/s,II类、III类场地上最优隔震频率范围为2～5rad/s,IV类场地上最优隔震频率范围为1.5～3rad/s。支座屈服强度对储罐地震响应的影响取决于场地类型和隔震频率。在II和III类场地上存在最优屈服强度使得基底剪力最小,且最优屈服强度随隔震频率增大而增大。     

基于系统地震易损性的桥梁隔震支座优化设计

隔震支座对桥梁抗震有重要意义,优化支座的参数可有效提升隔震效率。以一座三跨连续梁桥为例,建立了考虑桩-土-结构相互作用的有限元模型。将铅芯橡胶支座的特征强度及初始刚度视为优化变量,以最小化桥梁结构的系统地震易损性为目标。通过动力时程分析,得到支座参数对桥梁系统地震易损性的影响规律,确定支座参数的合理区间。高斯过程模型用来取代耗时的动力时程分析,降低隔震支座优化设计的计算成本。分析结果表明:铅芯橡胶支座的特征强度和初始刚度对桥梁系统地震易损性有明显影响;支座优化设计有效降低了桥梁系统地震易损性,大幅减小支座的剪切应变,提高了支座的隔震效率。

为研究不规则框架隔震结构的地震反应,分别对一个传统抗震结构、一个铅芯叠层橡胶支座隔震结构和四个组合隔震结构(隔震层由铅芯支座和滑板支座组成)进行了弹塑性地震反应时程分析,研究隔震支座参数对隔震效果的影响。结果表明:采用组合隔震技术时,合理选择隔震层的铅芯支座布置位置、滑板支座的摩擦系数和铅芯叠层橡胶支座的型号,可以有效地降低上部结构的扭转效应;对于不规则的建筑隔震结构,为减小地面运动带来的扭转效应,建议采用由铅芯支座和滑板支座组合而成的隔震层,可对上部结构的扭转起到很好的抑制作用。     

LRB支座选取及其对连续梁桥减隔震效果的影响

本文以桥梁上部结构自重等荷载引起的墩台处支座反力为考虑因素,通过选择合适的铅芯橡胶支座并进行了一系列的数值分析,使桥梁结构减隔震效果达到最佳。基于大型有限元软件Midas Civil建立某三跨连续梁桥,采用动力时程分析方法,初选了六组支座作为研究对象,以墩底内力、支座内力、支座滞回耗能特性、墩顶加速度、主梁观测点加速度等为主要考虑因素,对铅芯橡胶支座的减隔震效果进行了分析。结果表明,当选取桥台处LRB支座竖向承载力约为支座反力的1.12倍,桥墩处LRB支座竖向承载力约为支座反力的1.10倍,且所有LRB支座铅芯屈服力约为梁体自重的0.056倍时,减隔震效果最佳。     

多点激励下LRB隔震桥梁地震反应分析

研究了地震地面运动多点激励，即空间变化效应对装有铅芯橡胶支座（Lead Rubber Bearing）的连续梁桥地震反应的影响。首先，利用三角级数法生成了拟合规范反应谱的多点人工地震动时程；然后利用非线性时程分析法数值仿真并比较了某五跨LRB隔震连续梁桥在一致激励、仅考虑地震动行波效应、仅考虑地震动部分相干效应、同时考虑行波和部分相干效应以及同时考虑行波、部分相干和局部场地土效应等七种工况下结构的减震效果。行波效应和部分相干效应对铅芯橡胶支座隔震桥梁影响不大，而局部场地土效应对该类桥梁的地震反应分析影响很大，应该引起重视。     

基于柱顶隔震的3层3跨地铁地下车站结构抗震性能研究

针对3层3跨框架式地铁地下车站结构抗震薄弱构件,采用在柱顶不同位置设置铅芯橡胶隔震支座的方法,建立土-地下连续墙-主体结构非线性静动力耦合相互作用的二维整体时域有限元分析模型,分析柱顶隔震支座对车站主体结构的侧向变形、地震损伤和动应力反应等结构地震反应特性的影响。结果表明,仅在抗震薄弱的顶层和底层中柱柱顶设置2层隔震支座与各层中柱柱顶设置3层隔震支座均可有效减轻中柱地震损伤程度,提高车站结构整体抗震性能。然而,仅在顶、底层中柱柱顶设置2层隔震支座时,会明显加重未设置隔震支座的中间层中柱地震损伤程度。此外,柱顶隔震支座的设置会削弱隔震体系的整体抗侧移能力,从而增大地铁地下车站结构地震侧移。总体上,建议采用各层中柱柱顶均设置隔震支座的措施提升地铁地下车站结构的整体抗震性能。     

Simulation of the response of base-isolated buildings under earthquake excitations considering soil flexibility

The accurate analysis of the seismic response of isolated structures requires incorporation of the flexibility of supporting soil.However,it is often customary to idealize the soil as rigid during the analysis of such structures.In this paper,seismic response time history analyses of base-isolated buildings modelled as linear single degree-of-freedom(SDOF) and multi degree-of-freedom(MDOF) systems with linear and nonlinear base models considering and ignoring the flexibility of supporting soil are conducted.The flexibility of supporting soil is modelled through a lumped parameter model consisting of swaying and rocking spring-dashpots.In the analysis,a large number of parametric studies for different earthquake excitations with three different peak ground acceleration(PGA) levels,different natural periods of the building models,and different shear wave velocities in the soil are considered.For the isolation system,laminated rubber bearings(LRBs) as well as high damping rubber bearings(HDRBs) are used.Responses of the isolated buildings with and without SSI are compared under different ground motions leading to the following conclusions:(1) soil flexibility may considerably influence the stiff superstructure response and may only slightly influence the response of the flexible structures;(2) the use of HDRBs for the isolation system induces higher structural peak responses with SSI compared to the system with LRBs;(3) although the peak response is affected by the incorporation of soil flexibility,it appears insensitive to the variation of shear wave velocity in the soil;(4) the response amplifications of the SDOF system become closer to unit with the increase in the natural period of the building,indicating an inverse relationship between SSI effects and natural periods for all the considered ground motions,base isolations and shear wave velocities;(5) the incorporation of SSI increases the number of significant cycles of large amplitude accelerations for all the stories,especially for earthquakes with low and moderate PGA levels;and(6) buildings with a linear LRB base-isolation system exhibit larger differences in displacement and acceleration amplifications,especially at the level of the lower stories.     

近断层脉冲型地震动作用下高层摩擦摆基础隔震结构的减震性能研究

近断层地震动中长周期、短持时和高能量的加速度脉冲将对高层摩擦摆基础隔震结构的减震性能产生不利影响,考虑土-结构相互作用（SSI效应）后的隔震结构将产生动力耦合效应,可能进一步放大隔震结构地震响应。为此,通过一幢框架-核心筒高层摩擦摆基础隔震结构的非线性地震响应分析,考察近断层脉冲型地震动作用下框架-核心筒摩擦摆基础隔震结构的层间位移角、楼层加速度和隔震层变形等响应规律,揭示隔震体系的损伤机理。基于集总参数SR （sway-rocking）模型,分析不同场地类别与不同地震动类型对隔震体系动力响应影响规律。结果表明:高层摩擦摆基础隔震结构在近断层脉冲型地震动作用下的减震效果相比普通地震动减震效果变差,楼层剪力、层间位移角和隔震层变形等超越普通地震动作用下的1.5倍;对于Ⅲ和Ⅳ类场地类别,考虑SSI效应使隔震结构的地震响应进一步放大,弹塑性层间位移角随着土质变软增大尤为明显。     

组合基础隔震在建筑工程中的应用

隔震作为一种新的抗震技术,已广泛应用于新建和加固的建筑工程,同时,许多新型式的支座得到了开发和应用。组合基础隔震是一种新的隔震设计思想,能充分应用不同类型隔震支座的特性,有效降低上部结构地震反应。本文介绍了组合基础隔震在某一工程中的应用,工程中使用的支座包括普通橡胶隔震支座、铅芯橡胶隔震支座和弹性滑板支座三种类型,对全部使用支座进行了常规检测,结构计算采用等效线性法、能量包络法和时程反应分析等方法,计算结果表明:组合基础隔震能有效降低上部结构的反应,隔震层的变形控制在安全范围之内。     

高层隔震建筑设计中隔震支座受拉问题分析

高层建筑由于高宽比相对较大,倾覆效应明显,当采用隔震技术时,有可能使隔震支座出现拉应力,而通常使用的叠层橡胶隔震支座抗拉能力不强。因此,隔震支座受拉问题成为隔震技术在高层建筑中推广应用的主要障碍之一。本文提出了避免隔震支座受拉的上部结构布置原则及隔震层优化设计方法,并对目前隔震支座拉应力计算方法提出了改进建议。本文的研究工作可为工程设计提供借鉴,为隔震设计相关规范的修订提供依据。     

Effect of supplemental damping on LRB and FPS seismic isolators under near-fault ground motions

Numerical simulations are performed to assess the effects of near-fault ground motions on base-isolated buildings that consist of either lead-rubber (LRB) or friction-pendulum system (FPS) bearings in addition to supplemented viscous dampers. While LRB and FPS isolation systems have been applied for a number of years, the addition of supplemental damping devices is being currently considered for strong ground motions to reduce the isolator displacements. However, the main problem in this case is that the addition of damping may increase both internal deformation and absolute accelerations of the superstructure and thus may defeat many of the gains for which base isolation is intended. In the present paper, a detailed and systematic investigation on the performance of LRB and FPS isolation systems, provided with supplemental viscous damping under the effect of near-fault ground motions, has been carried out by using commercial finite element software.     

Study on effects of damping in laminated rubber bearings on seismic responses for a ⅛ scale isolated test structure

The effects of damping in various laminated rubber bearings (LRB) on the seismic response of a ?‐scale isolated test structure are investigated by shaking table tests and seismic response analyses. A series of shaking table tests of the structure were performed for a fixed base design and for a base isolation design. Two different types of LRB were used: natural rubber bearings (NRB) and lead rubber bearings (LLRB). Three different designs for the LLRB were tested; each design had a different diameter of lead plug, and thus, different damping values. Artificial time histories of peak ground acceleration 0.4g were used in both the tests and the analyses. In both shaking table tests and analyses, as expected, the acceleration responses of the seismically isolated test structure were considerably reduced. However, the shear displacement at the isolators was increased. To reduce the shear displacement in the isolators, the diameter of the lead plug in the LLRB had to be enlarged to increase isolator damping by more than 24%. This caused the isolator stiffness to increase, and resulted in amplifying the floor acceleration response spectra of the isolated test structure in the higher frequency ranges with a monotonic reduction of isolator shear displacement.

Seismic response of base-isolated buildings including soil–structure interaction

This study investigates the effect of soil–structure interaction (SSI) on the response of base-isolated buildings. The equations of motion are formulated in the frequency domain, assuming frequency-independent soil stiffness and damping constants. An equivalent fixed-base system is developed that accounts for soil compliance and damping characteristics of the base-isolated building. Closed-form expressions are derived, followed by a thorough parametric study involving the pertinent system parameters. For preliminary design, the methodology can serve as a means to assess effective use of base isolation on building structures accounting for SSI. This study concludes that the effects of SSI are more pronounced on the modal properties of the system, especially for the case of squat and stiff base-isolated structures.     

Roles of soil-structure interaction and damping in base-isolated structures built on numerous soil layers overlying a half-space

This study examines the roles of soil-structure interaction (SSI), higher modes, and damping in a base-isolated structure built on multiple layers of soil overlying a half space. Closed-form solutions for the entire system, including a superstructure, seismic isolator, and numerous soil layers overlying a half-space, were obtained. The formulations obtained in this study simply in terms of well-known frequencies and mechanical impedance ratios can explicitly interpret the dynamic behavior of a base-isolated structure interacting with multiple soil layers overlying a half-space. The key factors influencing the performance of the isolation system are the damping ratio of the isolator and the ratio of the natural frequency of the fixed-base structure to that of the isolated structure by assuming that the superstructure moves as a rigid body. This study reveals that higher damping in the base isolator is unfavorable to higher mode responses that usually dominate the responses of the superstructure and that the damping mechanism plays an important role in transmitting energy in addition to absorbing energy. It is also concluded that it is possible to design a soft soil layer as an isolation system for isolating vibration energy.     

组合基础隔震结构双向地震反应分析

本文采用双向耦合恢复力模型模拟组合隔震系统中隔震支座的双向耦合效应,对组合基础隔震结构进行了单向和双向地震反应对比分析,分析表明在水平双向地震作用下结构各层的加速度反应较小,隔震层的层间位移较大,而上部结构的层间位移较小,并且在水平双向地震作用下,支座的最大位移明显大于单向地震作用时支座的最大位移,因而应考虑水平双向地震作用对组合基础隔震结构地震反应和隔震支座性能的影响。
