错位转换高层建筑结构水平地震作用下的扭转反应研究

根据中国规范设计了一总层数为40层的错位转换高层建筑结构,为对比分析需要另设计具有相同楼层数的两带单层转换高层建筑结构。采用Etabs和Satwe对比分析了三结构在水平地震作用下的相对位移比、层间位移比沿楼层分布情况;其相对扭转角、层间扭转角、层间有害扭转角的分布特点;顶层角点扭转位移轨迹。研究分析表明,错位转换高层结构的扭转反应远大于同类带单层转换高层结构的反应;对单层转换结构采用位移比不能很好反映其扭转反应,而结构扭转位移角沿楼层分布规律更能体现其扭转反应特征。     

平面不规则结构非弹性扭转地震反应研究进展

不规则建筑结构在侧向地震荷载作用下由于质量中心和刚度中心的不重合导致平扭耦联反应的发生,使得结构构件的变形需求分布在结构平面内并不一致,从而产生附加的强度和变形需求。尽管不规则建筑结构在地震作用下的扭转问题一直受到研究学者的关注和研究,并取得了很多显著的成果,但仍然存在着一些争议,有待于继续深入研究。本文从结构的分析模型、影响参数及地震动输入等方面回顾总结了平面不规则建筑结构在地震作用下非弹性扭转的研究进展,结合当前的研究工作指出今后研究的发展方向。     

偏心结构扭转振动研究中几个基本参量的讨论

本文根据工程振动实测观察及结构地震模拟实验中的模态测量结果指出，通常的确定性弹性分析方法中，直接由构件的几何尺寸确定其刚度并进而确定结构的自振特性，进行结构的弹性反应分析和设计，其结果只能代表结构处于完全理想弹性状态时对外界激励的一种理论估计。由此提出了比较切合实际的基于强度及屈服变形的构件刚度的确定方法，进而指出在偏心结构的扭转振动研究中，结构的刚度偏心实际上依赖于强度偏心，并不能随研究者的意愿随意调整。

Torsional response of symmetric buildings to incoherent and phase‐delayed earthquake ground motion

This paper studies the effect of coherency loss and wave passage on the seismic torsional response of three‐dimensional, multi‐storey, multi‐span, symmetric, linear elastic buildings. A model calibrated against statistical analyses of ground motion records in Mexico City is used for the coherency function. The structural response is assessed in terms of shear forces in structural elements. Incoherence and wave passage effects are found to be significant only for columns in the ground level of stiff systems. The increase of column shears in the ground level is much higher for soft than for firm soil conditions. For the torsionally stiff systems considered, it is found that incoherent and phase‐delayed ground motions do not induce a significant rotational response of the structure. The use of a code eccentricity to account for torsion due to ground motion spatial variation is assessed. On firm soil, the use of a base shear along with an accidental eccentricity results in highly overestimated shear forces; however, for soft soil conditions, code formulations may result in underestimated shear forces.

Importance of seismic design accidental torsion requirements for building collapse capacity

Seismic ground motions induce torsional responses in buildings that can be difficult to predict. To compensate for this, most modern building codes require the consideration of accidental torsion when computing design earthquake forces. This study evaluates the influence of ASCE/SEI 7 accidental torsion seismic design requirements on the performance of 230 archetypical buildings that are designed with and without accidental torsion design provisions, taking building collapse capacity as the performance metric. The test case archetypes include a broad range of heights, gravity load levels, and plan configurations. Results show that the ASCE/SEI 7 accidental torsion provisions lead to significant changes in collapse capacity for buildings that are very torsionally flexible or asymmetric. However, only inconsequential changes in collapse capacity are observed in the buildings that are both torsionally stiff and regular in plan. Therefore, the study concludes that accidental torsion provisions are not necessary for seismic design of buildings without excessive torsional flexibility or asymmetry.

Seismic response and design of RC structures with plan-eccentric masonry infills

The bidirectional response of a two-storey RC frame structure with two adjacent sides infilled is studied through shaking table tests and non-linear dynamic analyses. The pre-cracking stiffness of the infills is large enough to impose twisting of the infilled structure about the common corner of the two infilled sides, with predominant period close to that of translation of the symmetric bare structure in the two horizontal directions. Parametric analyses and test results show that the peak displacement components of the corner column of the two open sides are about the same as (or slightly less than) those of the bare structure under the same bidirectional excitation, but take place simultaneously. This simultaneity of peak local demands from the two components of the motion seems to be the only effect of plan-eccentric infilling that needs to be taken into account in the design of the RC structure. Despite their very high slenderness (height-to-thickness ratio of about 30), infill panels survive out-of-plane peak accelerations of 0·6g at the base of the structure or 1·3–1·75g at their centre.

On the evaluation of seismic response of structures by nonlinear static methods

In the most recent seismic codes, the assessment of the seismic response of structures may be carried out by comparing the displacement capacity, provided by nonlinear static analysis, with the displacement demand. In many cases the code approach is based on the N2 method proposed by Fajfar, which evaluates the displacement demand by defining, as an intermediate step, a single degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) system equivalent to the examined structure. Other codes suggest simpler approaches, which do not require equivalent SDOF systems, but they give slightly different estimation of the seismic displacement demand. The paper points out the differences between the methods and suggests an operative approach that provides the same accuracy as the N2 method without requiring the evaluation of an equivalent SDOF system. A wide parametric investigation allows an accurate comparison of the different methods and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed operative approach.

Torsional balance as new design criterion for asymmetric structures with energy dissipation devices

Lateral–torsional coupling in asymmetric‐plan buildings leads to correlated translations and rotations of the building plan, which generate uneven distributions of deformation demand among resisting planes. The deformation demand of a resisting plane depends on the relative magnitude of the plan translation and rotation and on the correlation between the two signals. Thus, small rotations highly correlated with building translation may lead to significantly different deformations of the resisting planes at the building edges. Consequently, the use of supplemental dampers is intended not only to reduce the magnitude of the plan translation and rotation, but also the correlation between these motions. For the sake of simplicity, linear viscous dampers are used in this investigation, which properly located in plan lead to a minimum response of the geometric center, thus achieving the same mean‐square value of the displacements at the building edges. Mathematically, this condition may be understood as creating zero correlation between the translations and rotation at the geometric center of the plan, which represents an uncoupling in the mean‐square sense. Results show that the optimal damper location depends on the static eccentricity and frequency ratio of the bare structure, the total amount of supplemental damping considered, and the frequency content of the excitation. Through a final 6‐story model example, the torsional balance concept is demonstrated to work on multistory buildings subjected to bidirectional ground motions.

Seismic Design of Symmetric Structures for Accidental Torsion

The paper presents an analytical estimation of the dynamic effects, caused by the shifting of the centre of mass with accidental eccentricity in symmetric structures. The approximate analytical solution proves, that even under small accidental eccentricities the symmetric structures exhibit “irregular behaviour” and the accidental torsional effects cannot be described properly by static application of torsional moments. The prescribed application rule by Eurocode 8 for multimodal analysis underestimates the accidental torsional effects up to 21% for 5% eccentricity for the structures considered in the paper. An expression for the correction of member responses is derived. It is proved by numerical simulations of the dynamic response of three-dimensional models of symmetric structures, that the proposed correction coefficient gives accurate results in cases of single-storey and multi-storey structures. It gives a convenient way for the design practice to estimate accurately the accidental torsional effects on planar and 3-D models of symmetric structures. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Torsional balance of plan‐asymmetric structures with frictional dampers: analytical results

This investigation deals with the torsional balance of the earthquake response and design of elastic asymmetric structures with frictional dampers. Plan asymmetry leads to an uneven lateral deformation demand among structural members and to unbalanced designs with larger capacities in some resisting planes. Frictional dampers are capable of controlling lateral‐torsional coupling by placing the so‐called empirical center of balance (ECB) of the structure at equal distance from all edges of the building. This rule is developed for single‐story systems with linear and inelastic behavior. However, recently obtained theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that this rule carries over to multistory structures. Results show that the peak displacement demand at the building edges and that of resisting planes equidistant from the geometric center may be similar if the damper is optimally placed. It is also shown that torsional amplification of the edge displacements of arbitrary asymmetric structures relative to the displacement of the symmetric counterparts are approximately bound by a factor of 2. Furthermore, frictional dampers are equally effective in controlling lateral‐torsional coupling of torsionally flexible as well as stiff structures. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Inelastic torsional response of buildings to the 1985 Mexican earthquake: a parametric study

This study aims to determine the influence of torsional coupling on the inelastic response of a series of models representing typical structural configurations in real buildings. The lake bed (SCT) east-west component of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake was employed in the analysis, and is representative of a severe ground motion known to have induced large inelastic structural deformations in a high proportion of those buildings having asymmetrical distributions of stiffness and/or strength. Material non-linearity in lateral load-resisting elements has been defined using a hysteretic Ramberg-Osgood model. Structural eccentricities have been introduced into the building models by (i) asymmetrical distributions of stiffness and/or strength, (ii) asymmetrical configuration of lateral load-resisting elements, or (iii) varying post-elastic material behaviour in the resisting elements. The dynamic inelastic response of these models has been obtained by a numerical integration of the relevant equations of motion, expressed in a non-dimensional incremental form.

In the elastic range, the results correlate well with those of previous studies. In the inelastic range, it is concluded that the peak ductility demand of the worst-affected element increases with the ground excitation level across the range of building periods considered, and that the influence of torsional coupling on the key response parameters is model dependent. Most significantly, the strength eccentricity relative to the centre of mass has been shown to influence the peak edge displacement response more than conventionally employed stiffness eccentricity.     

抗震设计中多遇地震的问题和讨论

指出作为截面抗震验算标准的“小震”混淆了两种明显不同的概念:其一是对应于50年超越概率63％的地震动参数(以下简称“多遇小震”);其二是50年超越概率10％的地震动参数经过折算得到的参数(以下简称“折算小震”).上述混淆导致抗震设计中实际上执行着不同的标准.文中讨论了中、小地震动参数之间关系的复杂性,包括从地震危险性分析得到的基岩面中、小地震峰值加速度的离散性,一致概率谱的差异,以及中、小地震由于上层反应非线性影响导致的场地相关谱的系统性差异.指出重大工程的抗震设计以“多遇小震”取代“折算小震”进行截面验算可能导致反应谱特征周期Tg明显低估的问题,并提出了相应建议.
