Simulation of multi-support depth-varying earthquake ground motions within heterogeneous onshore and offshore sites

This paper presents a novel approach to model and simulate the multi-support depth-varying seismic motions (MDSMs) within heterogeneous offshore and onshore sites. Based on 1D wave propagation theory, the three-dimensional ground motion transfer functions on the surface or within an offshore or onshore site are derived by considering the effects of seawater and porous soils on the propagation of seismic P waves. Moreover, the depth-varying and spatial variation properties of seismic ground motions are considered in the ground motion simulation. Using the obtained transfer functions at any locations within a site, the offshore or onshore depth-varying seismic motions are stochastically simulated based on the spectral representation method (SRM). The traditional approaches for simulating spatially varying ground motions are improved and extended to generate MDSMs within multiple offshore and onshore sites. The simulation results show that the PSD functions and coherency losses of the generated MDSMs are compatible with respective target values, which fully validates the effectiveness of the proposed simulation method. The synthesized MDSMs can provide strong support for the precise seismic response prediction and performance-based design of both offshore and onshore large-span engineering structures.     

考虑场地效应的非一致激励下桥梁地震响应特点分析

本研究拟从常规桥梁（跨径不超过150m且桥长不超过600m）出发,考虑局部场地效应,对某工程场地的地震反应进行三维动力有限元分析。将计算得到的地表地震动作为桥梁桥墩处的非一致输入,然后再通过有限元时程分析计算得到桥梁的地震反应。通过与一致激励及考虑行波效应激励的地震反应计算结果进行比较,得出以下结果:由于局部场地条件对地震动的频谱、峰值加速度都有影响,与一致激励相比,考虑局部场地的非一致激励对于桥梁的下部结构反应影响较小,而对于上部结构响应影响明显;考虑行波效应的非一致激励对于桥梁地震响应有减弱效果。研究结果表明,仅考虑行波效应引起的地震动非一致性开展桥梁地震响应分析并不具备保守性。     

多点地震激励对大跨度结构抗震设计的影响

以上海浦东机场(二期)候机楼为例,讨论了大跨结构多点激励效应对结构抗震设计值的影响。文中首先进行了结构静力荷载作用下的反应分析,并与上海浦东机场(二期)候机楼在一致激励下的地震反应相组合,得到一致地震作用下结构抗震设计值;然后根据工程场地二维地震动场反应分析结果,进行了上海浦东机场多点输入下的地震反应分析,将其与静力反应组合得到多点地震激励下结构抗震设计值。考察在一致输入和多点输入下得出的抗震设计值之间的差异,分析了不同的地震激励方式对控制结构抗震设计值以及结构动力位移和加速度值的影响。研究结果表明:多点地震输入对浦东机场二期工程候机楼的抗震设计影响较大,特别是对承力柱的影响最大,可以使一些柱的控制截面内力的抗震设计值比一致地震输入时的数值增大10～50%,同时使另外一些柱的控制截面内力的抗震设计值减小40%左右。因此,为合理地进行这类结构的抗震设计,在结构抗震分析中考虑地震动的多点输入的影响是非常必要的。

Development of elasto-plastic viscous damper finite element model for reinforced concrete frames

By advancing the technologies regarding seismic control of structures and development of earthquake resistance systems in the past decades application of different types of earthquake energy dissipation system has incredibly increased. Viscous damper device as a famous and the simplest earthquake energy dissipation system is implemented in many new structures and numerous number of researches have been done on the performance of viscous dampers in structures subjected to earthquake. The experience of recent severe earthquakes indicates that sometimes the earthquake energy dissipation devices are damaged during earthquakes and there is no function for structural control system. So, damage of earthquake energy dissipation systems such as viscous damper device must be considered during design of earthquake resistance structures.This paper demonstrates the development of three-dimensional elasto-plastic viscous damper element consisting of elastic damper in the middle part and two plastic hinges at both ends of the element which are compatible with the constitutive model to reinforce concrete structures and are capable to detect failure and damage in viscous damper device connections during earthquake excitation. The finite element model consists of reinforced concrete frame element and viscous damper element is developed and special finite element algorithm using Newmark׳s direct step-by-step integration is developed for inelastic dynamic analysis of structure with supplementary elasto-plastic viscous damper element. So based on all the developed components an especial finite computer program has been codified for “Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Earthquake Energy Dissipation System”. The evaluation of seismic response of structure and damage detection in structural members and damper device was carried out by 3D modeling, of 3 story reinforced concrete frame building under earthquake multi-support excitation.     

Evaluation of vertical seismic response for a large‐scale beam‐supported aqueduct

By the theories of potential flow and structural vibration, the formulae for evaluating the ‘wet’ (with water) frequencies and mode shapes of the beam‐supported aqueduct are derived through a simplified fluid‐structure interaction analysis. The time‐history formulae of structural responses to the vertical seismic excitation are obtained. Applying the response‐spectrum principle, the equivalent vertical earthquake load exerted on the beam and the corresponding effects are also derived. Several illustrative examples are conducted. The analytical results show that: (i) The ‘wet’ frequencies of the structure are lower than the corresponding ‘dry’ (without water) frequencies due to the participating water mass, but the ‘wet’ mode shapes are identical to the corresponding ‘dry’ ones. (ii) The water mass plays an important role in the vertical seismic response, which varies with the different geological sites. For the different seismic inputs, the deeper the water is, the greater are the structural responses. (iii) The vertical seismic effects on the beam are generally not too small to be neglected and should be considered in the structural designs of a beam‐supported aqueduct.

Impact of seismic excitation characteristics on the efficiency of tuned liquid column dampers

Various types of passive control systems have been used to suppress the seismic response of structures in recent years. Among these systems, Tuned Liquid Column Dampers （TLCDs） dissipate the input earthquake energy by combining the effects of the movement of the liquid mass in the container, the restoring force on the liquid due to the gravity loads and the damping due to the liquid movement through orifices. In this study, the effects of seismic excitation characteristics such as frequency content and soil condition on the seismic performance of TLCDs are investigated using nonlinear time-history analyses. In this regard, among the past earthquake ground motion records of Iran, 16 records with different parameters were selected. In the structural model developed, the attached TLCD is simulated as a Tuned Mass Damper （TMD） having the same vibration period and damping ratio as the original TLCD. The numerical results show that the seismic excitation characteristics have a substantial role on the displacement reduction capability of TLCDs and they should be considered accordingly in the design of TLCDs.
