目前,地震及爆炸荷载下的结构连续倒塌问题已成为土木工程领域研究的热点。本文首先简要介绍了国内外有关连续倒塌问题的研究现状和规范制定情况,然后基于OpenSees模拟平台,对一钢筋混凝土框架结构进行了拆除柱构件的动力分析。计算结果表明:拆除边柱比拆除内柱对结构的倒塌危险性要大,楼板对拆除构件后结构的动力反应有一定的减小作用。依据美国公共事务管理局(GSA)的倒塌规范,采用静力非线性分析和竖向增量动力分析对结构抗连续倒塌能力进行了研究。分析结果表明:楼板在一定程度上可提高结构抗连续倒塌能力;动力放大系数(DAF)随结构进入塑性而逐渐增大;由静力非线性分析曲线得到的结构抗连续倒塌能力曲线与竖向增量动力分析曲线吻合较好。

钢筋混凝土建筑抗倒塌设计

建筑抗倒塌问题近年来在欧美国家得到广泛关注，并颁布了相关的设计规范和标准。我国还没有制定有关建筑抗倒塌方面的规范和标准。本文提出一种基于建筑危险性的钢筋混凝土建筑抗倒塌设计方法。该方法将钢筋混凝土建筑分为四类，通过设置拉杆连接系统和Alternate Path设计提高建筑抗倒塌能力。     

抗震设防烈度对钢框架连续性倒塌的影响

建筑结构在爆炸荷载作用下的连续倒塌问题近些年被很多学者所关注。从本质上讲,结构的抗倒塌和抗震都是动荷载作用下的结构响应问题,因此,结构抗震设计的很多理念对结构的抗连续倒塌设计同样适用。本文采用数值模拟的方法,分别对按抗震设防烈度Ⅵ度、Ⅶ度和Ⅷ度的钢框架结构进行了40kg炸药爆炸作用下的连续倒塌分析,探讨了抗震设防烈度对钢框架连续性倒塌的影响。计算结果表明,抗震设防烈度高的钢框架结构其抵抗连续倒塌的能力较强。其中,按Ⅵ度设防的结构发生了连续倒塌;按Ⅶ度设防的结构没有发生连续性倒塌,只发生了一定程度的变形和破坏;而相比之下,按Ⅷ度设防的结构变形和破坏最为轻微。     

考虑结构构件退化特性评估大震下RC框架抗整体性倒塌能力

基于大震和特大震下倒塌率目标的抗震分析与设计是结构抗震领域的主要发展方向,而大震及特大震作用下结构抗整体性倒塌能力的准确评估是其中的关键科学问题。首先对国内外结构抗整体性倒塌能力的研究工作进行了总结,重点介绍了多种微观和宏观本构模型特性及大震作用下考虑结构构件退化特性对抗整体性倒塌能力的影响。在此基础上,详细阐述了通过增量动力分析获得结构抗倒塌能力易损性曲线及确定结构抗倒塌能力极限状态的方法。最后以一个RC单层单跨平面框架结构分析模型为例,利用OpenSees分析软件,研究了钢筋后期强度退化对结构抗整体性倒塌能力评估结果的影响,结果表明不考虑钢筋后期强度退化会明显高估结构的抗倒塌能力。     

竖向刚度不同的混合结构连续倒塌机制分析

为了探究上部钢结构-下部混凝土结构这类竖向刚度不同的混合结构抗连续倒塌机制,利用拆除构件法,应用ANSYS/LS-DYNA对初始失效后的剩余结构进行非线性静力(Pushdown方法)分析,研究其剩余结构的倒塌破坏模式、荷载变形关系,以及初始失效柱位置的不同和钢框架层数对结构抗连续倒塌性能的影响。结果表明:剩余结构的倒塌破坏模式带有典型的延性变形特征,且在倒塌过程中出现位移和应力分布不连续现象;除边柱失效后剩余结构的倒塌过程仅经历了梁机制外,其余剩余结构的倒塌过程均经历了梁机制、压拱机制和悬链线机制;剩余结构的竖向承载力与初始失效柱高度呈负相关,与钢框架层数呈正相关;为剩余结构提供足够的侧向约束作用以及提高结构冗余度和备用荷载路径数量,可以有效提高剩余结构的抗连续倒塌能力。     

多维地震作用下钢筋混凝土建筑结构的抗连续倒塌仿真分析

为了提高钢筋混凝土建筑结构的抗震性能,分析多维地震作用下钢筋混凝土建筑结构的抗连续倒塌能力,结合钢筋混凝土建筑结构特性、节点构造特点以及其在多维地震作用下的破坏机理,采用离散单元法建立结构连续倒塌的理论模型,对建筑结构连续倒塌过程进行数值模拟。基于数值模拟化结果,通过备用荷载路径法,实现建筑结构的抗连续倒塌分析。仿真实验结果得出,所提方法能实现对建筑结构抗连续倒塌的准确分析,且在多维地震作用下建筑结构扭转的幅度明显变大,结构顶层位移发散状态显著,不同楼层会产生不同的层间位移以及薄弱部位,建筑结构的抗连续倒塌性能随着失效构件位置的提升而增强。     

8度抗震设防烈度区板柱-剪力墙高层结构安全性能分析

板柱结构节约结构空间是一种常用建筑结构形式，通常也被认为是抗震薄弱体系，我国GB 50011—2010《建筑抗震设计规范》对板柱结构使用范围以及适用高度作了严格限定，与国外规范相比较，我国结构规范对板柱结构有细致严格的构造要求。结合北京8度区某17层带边框高层板柱-剪力墙结构的实际工程，通过ETABS有限元程序对结构进行多遇地震作用分析，重点研究了楼板应力分布。采用SAUSG有限元程序补充罕遇地震下有限元非线性分析，研究了墙柱损伤情况与主要构件性能。应用SAP2000程序采用拆除构件法，分析了板柱结构抗连续倒塌能力。研究结果表明，在满足规范规定构造措施前提下，带边框板柱-剪力墙结构具有较好的承载能力、良好的抗震性能和抗连续倒塌能力，可以达到8度抗震设防烈度区高层建筑安全性能要求。     

不规则性对基础隔震结构抗连续倒塌性能影响研究

为研究基础隔震结构抗连续倒塌性能,以备用荷载路径法为基础,采用静力非线性Pushdown方法和静力线性方法对一栋典型的收进式竖向不规则钢筋混凝土基础隔震结构进行分析,从备用荷载路径的抗连续倒塌机制和需求能力比两个角度研究竖向不规则钢筋混凝土基础隔震结构的抗连续倒塌性能,为基础隔震结构抗连续倒塌设计提供参考;为进一步研究结构布置形式不规则性以及裙楼和塔楼层数变化对竖向不规则基础隔震抗连续倒塌性能的影响,分别建立塔楼布置不同、裙楼与塔楼层数变化的模型进行对比研究。研究表明:除角柱失效工况自身无法产生悬链线机制外,其余底层框架柱失效工况中备用荷载路径在整个推覆倒塌过程中均表现出明显的悬链线机制;当隔震支座失效时,由于隔震层水平刚度小,相邻支座无法提供足够的侧向约束作用而难以形成明显的悬链线机制;增加结构冗余度和备用荷载路径中参与荷载传递的构件数量可以有效提高剩余结构抗连续倒塌能力;除角柱和角支座外,隔震支座失效工况DCR值普遍大于对应位置底层框架柱失效工况,备用荷载路径中某些构件的失效风险相对较大。     

采用纤维模型的钢管混凝土框架-中心支撑结构抗连续倒塌非线性分析

为研究不同形式的中心支撑对钢管混凝土结构抗连续倒塌性能的影响,基于纤维梁模型建立5种钢管混凝土框架-中心支撑结构数值模型,在合理选取钢材和混凝土材料本构模型的基础上,计算不同失效工况下结构的抗连续倒塌非线性动力响应,通过非线性静力加载获得结构的整体刚度和极限承载力。研究结果表明：设置中心支撑均可以提高结构的整体刚度和抗倒塌承载能力,其中对边柱失效工况的提升效果好于中柱失效工况;设置中心支撑提供了新的荷载传递路径,可以有效减小失效柱相邻构件的分配内力;X型支撑在不同失效工况下都能显著提升框架刚度和承载能力,降低失效节点的竖向位移,反斜支撑框架表现出更好的延性和极限承载能力,研究结果可为建筑结构抗连续倒塌设计提供参考。     

Seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings with discontinuity in columns

Irregular reinforced concrete (RC) buildings constitute a significant portion of the existing housing stock. A common type of irregularity is in the form of discontinuity in the vertical framing elements, which can exacerbate their seismic vulnerability. The design guidelines available in seismic design codes essentially cater to only regular buildings, and the safety of such buildings, even when the other guidelines of the codes are followed, is doubtful. This article evaluates the vulnerability of RC frame buildings with discontinuity in columns designed for modern seismic codes, in the form of seismic collapse capacity, collapse resistance against maximum earthquake demand level, and failure mechanism. The adequacy and limitations of the provisions of the seismic design codes are evaluated for such buildings. Analysis results show that the sequential analysis of buildings considering the construction staged effects, considerably affects the design and hence the collapse failure mechanism of even low- and mid-rise buildings. The results also underline the importance of strong column–weak beam design in the seismic performance of the floating column buildings. The vertical component of ground motion is also observed to be relatively more crucial in floating column buildings.     

A novel structural detailing for the improvement of seismic and progressive collapse performances of RC frames

Earthquake-induced building collapse and progressive collapse due to accidental local failure of vertical components are the two most common failure modes of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. Conventional design methods usually focus on the design requirements of a specific hazard but neglect the interactions between different designs. For example, the progressive collapse design of an RC frame often yields increased reinforcement and flexural strength of the beams. As a result, the seismic design principle of “strong-column-weak-beam” may be violated, which may lead to unfavorable failure modes and weaken the seismic performance. To avoid these adverse effects of the progressive collapse design on the seismic resistance of RC frames, a novel structural detailing is proposed in this study. The proposed detailing technique intends to concurrently improve the seismic and progressive collapse performances of an RC frame by changing the layout of the newly added longitudinal reinforcement against progressive collapse without introducing any additional reinforcement. A six-story RC frame is used as the prototype building for this investigation. Both cyclic and progressive collapse tests are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed structural detailing. Based on the experimental results, detailed finite element (FE) models of the RC frame with different reinforcement layouts are established. The seismic and progressive collapse resistances of different models are compared based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) and nonlinear dynamic alternate path (AP) methods, respectively. The results indicate that the proposed structural detailing can effectively resolve the conflict between the seismic and progressive collapse designs.     

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.

Design objectives and collapse prevention for building structures in mega-earthquake

A "mega-earthquake" is one with an intensity larger than the most severe earthquake intensity category currently considered in design codes. For a "mega-earthquake," the design objective of a given structure is to "preserve living spaces for people in the buildings." In this paper,factors that may influence the collapse resistance of RC frames in a mega-earthquake are analyzed based on seismic damage observed in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Methodologies to improve structural collapse resistance focus on three aspects:global strength margin,global redundancy and global integration of the structural system. Fundamental principles and design concepts for collapse prevention under a mega-earthquake are proposed,and issues that need further research are identified.     

Seismic performance and probabilistic collapse resistance assessment of steel moment resisting frames with fluid viscous dampers

This paper evaluates the seismic resistance of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with supplemental fluid viscous dampers against collapse. A simplified design procedure is used to design four different steel MRFs with fluid viscous dampers where the strength of the steel MRF and supplemental damping are varied. The combined systems are designed to achieve performance that is similar to or higher than that of conventional steel MRFs designed according to current seismic design codes. Based on the results of nonlinear time history analyses and incremental dynamic analyses, statistics of structural and non‐structural response as well as probabilities of collapse of the steel MRFs with dampers are determined and compared with those of conventional steel MRFs. The analytical frame models used in this study are reliably capable to simulate global frame collapse by considering full geometric nonlinearities as well as the cyclic strength and stiffness deterioration in the plastic hinge regions of structural steel members. The results show that, with the aid of supplemental damping, the performance of a steel MRF with reduced design base shear can be improved and become similar to that of a conventional steel MRF with full design base shear. Incremental dynamic analyses show that supplemental damping reduces the probability of collapse of a steel MRF with a given strength. However, the paper highlights that a design base shear equal to 75% of the minimum design base shear along with supplemental damping to control story drift at 2% (i.e., design drift of a conventional steel MRF) would not guarantee a higher collapse resistance than that of a conventional MRF. At 75% design base shear, a tighter design drift (e.g., 1.5% as shown in this study) is needed to guarantee a higher collapse resistance than that of a conventional MRF.

基于OpenSees的混凝土结构连续倒塌分析中的从属节点建模技术

对重大工程结构进行强地震作用下的连续倒塌全过程分析并建立相应的设计与控制方法,已成为当前地震工程领域的发展趋势。目前,由于数值求解方面的困难,绝大多数针对极端作用下的结构连续倒塌的研究止步于数值临界状态的界定,在分析过程中不能实时地对结构构件的损伤状态进行监测并根据构件的损伤状态对分析模型进行修改。为了实现连续倒塌过程中构件的逐步失效,在OpenSees程序中,基于Beam with Hinges Element构建了端部带附属节点的Beam with Hinges Element,并根据构件失效情况对附属节点的多点约束进行控制。采用三次静力凝聚方法和Newmark-beta法,给出了对此改进建模技术可信的理论背景,方法的准确性通过一个简单框架算例得到了验证。

向量式有限元是以向量力学为基础的一种新的结构分析方法,在处理结构大变形等复杂行为时具有较大的优势。基于向量式有限元理论建立了黏滞阻尼单元,对附加黏滞阻尼器的平面钢框架结构进行了抗竖向连续倒塌动力分析,结合拆除构件法,采用MATLAB编制可以考虑初始变形的瞬时卸载法程序,实现结构在构件拆除前的静力分析和构件拆除后动力分析的全过程统一。研究了阻尼器布置位置和参数在结构抗竖向连续倒塌中的性能需求,以失效点竖向位移时程曲线、梁端转角、动力放大系数和结构塑性铰分布为参考指标,对比分析布置阻尼器前后钢框架结构的抗连续倒塌能力。结果表明向量式有限元是一种研究结构竖向连续倒塌动力响应的有效方法,合理布置阻尼器能够有效控制剩余结构的变形和振动,降低构件内力,减少塑性铰个数,较大地提高结构的抗竖向连续倒塌能力。     

Evaluation of structural walls designed according to Eurocode 8 and SIA 160

For earthquake action the new design provisions of Eurocode 8 are in the process of replacing the European national earthquake codes. The paper treats the design and behaviour of multi-storey structural walls in view of the new provisions. For structural walls the provisions of the Eurocode 8 are compared with those of a national code which it is going to replace. As the national code the current Swiss earthquake standard SIA 160 is chosen. Basic design rules of both codes are introduced and compared by means of examples comprising buildings which are regular in plan and elevation and which use structural walls for lateral resistance. The height of the buildings is varied from a from four to eight storeys. In the example, both the SIA and the Eurocode design provisions are based on the static equivalent force method, and a triangular distribution of the lateral force. However, most other design provisions differ between the two codes. The structures designed are modelled numerically and subjected to non-linear time-history analysis. At first, both the SIA and Eurocode designed structures are subjected to ground motions compatible to the design spectra in the respective codes. Then all structures are subjected to a recorded ground motion. The results are discussed in view of assumptions made at the design phase. Conclusions and recommendations are provided. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
