基于单自由度等效线性化模型的RC结构地震易损性分析

通过有限元方法进行非线性动力时程分析获取解析的易损性曲线,计算量大且耗时。本文采用一种简化的计算方法,即基于单自由度的等效线性化模型,对钢筋混凝土框架结构进行地震易损性分析,并研究了该方法在结构高度上的适用性。通过选用5种典型的等效线性化模型对3栋不同高度的钢筋混凝土框架结构进行增量动力分析（IDA）,得到了不同高度的结构在不同强度地震作用下结构的反应和易损性,并与OpenSees程序的计算结果进行对比,研究了等效线性化模型应用于RC框架结构易损性分析在高度上的适用性。分析结果表明:对于10层及以下的框架结构,基于单自由度的等效线性化模型在结构地震易损性分析中具有较好的适用性;对于更高层数的结构,由于高阶振型反应对整体结构反应的影响增大,基于单自由度等效线性化模型的易损性分析结果会出现明显的偏差。

Seismic evaluation of geometrically irregular steel moment resisting frames with setbacks considering their dynamic characteristics

A setback building has a sudden discontinuity in the frame geometry along the height. This kind of irregularity causes an abrupt discontinuity in stiffness, strength and mass of the building frame. In this study, a total of nineteen mid-rise 9-story steel moment resisting frames with setbacks including the broad range of different geometrical configurations were studied. An eigenvalue analysis was performed to evaluate and scrutinize the dynamic characteristics of setback structures. The effect of geometrical configurations on the seismic responses of setback frames was studied by means of nonlinear response history analysis using a set of far-field ground motion records. Moreover, due to the rapidly increasing use of pushover analysis for the seismic evaluation of structures in recent years, enhanced pushover analyses (EPAs) including the modal pushover analysis, the upper bound pushover analysis, the consecutive modal pushover and the extended N2 methods were implemented as a main part of this study. The findings show that two factors including the location of setback and the degree of setback are of key importance and influence the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses of setback structures. The degree of accuracy of the enhanced pushover analysis methods generally depends on the dynamic characteristics (geometrical configuration) of the setback frames. The largest error in the EPAs in predicting the story drifts generally occurs in a setback frame with a larger amount of the ratio between the effective modal participating mass ratio of the higher modes and that of the first mode.     

Seismic response of multi-frame bridges

Long cast-in-place concrete bridges are often constructed in multiple frames separated by in-span hinges. The multi-frame system offers lower construction and maintenance costs, fewer adverse effects due to creep, post-tensioning, and thermal deformations as a few of its advantages. However, the seismic response of multi-frame bridges has been uncertain owing to the complexities of their discrete system. This study intends to improve the understanding of the seismic response of multi-frame bridge systems and evaluate the applicability of current design assumptions. Responses of multi-frame bridges and comparable single-frame bridges of the same length are compared. Seismic demands on multi-frame bridge columns, abutments, and in-span hinges were investigated through high-fidelity analytical simulations. Approximately 3400 nonlinear time history analyses of prototype bridges with realistic designs were performed using the OpenSees platform. Analysis of variance was implemented along with a factorial design to study the effect of several independent factors, including the number of frames, substructure system, unequal column heights, soil type, ground motion intensity, and capacity-to-demand ratio. It was observed for elastic dynamic analysis that a 90 % modal mass participation ratio is not adequate to accurately estimate dynamic responses. Seismic demands on columns in multi-frame bridges are typically smaller than those in comparable single-frame bridges. The multi-frame system is seismically more robust than the single-frame system, specifically for bridges spanning non-uniform valleys that include unequal column heights. To prevent longitudinal unseating at in-span hinges, it is critical to consider the interaction of transverse and longitudinal responses. The seismic damage to abutment backwalls and backfills in multi-frame bridges is expected to be extensive owing to small expansion joints.     

Development of computing environment for the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete frames by using simplified nonlinear models

A computing environment for the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete frames has been developed in Matlab in combination with OpenSees. It includes several functions which provide calculations of the moment-rotation relationship of plastic hinges in columns and beams, rapid determination of simplified nonlinear structural models, the post-processing of the results of analyses and structural performance assessment with different methods. The user can add new functions to the PBEE toolbox in order to support additional procedures for the seismic performance assessment of RC frames, or can just change the rules for determining the moment-rotation relationship of plastic hinges in columns and beams, which are the main source of uncertainty in simplified nonlinear models. In the paper, the capabilities of the computing environment (PBEE toolbox) are first explained by focusing on the procedures for determining the moment-rotation relationship of plastic hinges. Different examples are then presented, starting with a comparison between the calculated response of a four-storey RC frame building and the response obtained in a pseudo-dynamic experiment. The calculated response was determined with the two different structural models which are later on used for the demonstration of the seismic performance assessment of the same structure by the N2 method. Lastly, seismic performance assessment of an eight-storey frame is performed by using incremental dynamic analysis with consideration of the modelling uncertainties.     

Accuracy of three-dimensional seismic ground response analysis in time domain using nonlinear numerical simulations

To provide appropriate uses of nonlinear ground response analysis for engineering practice, a three-dimensional soil column with a distributed mass system and a time domain numerical analysis were implemented on the OpenSees simulation platform. The standard mesh of a three-dimensional soil column was suggested to be satisfied with the specified maximum frequency. The layered soil column was divided into multiple sub-soils with a different viscous damping matrix according to the shear velocities as the soil properties were significantly different. It was necessary to use a combination of other one-dimensional or three-dimensional nonlinear seismic ground analysis programs to confirm the applicability of nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures in soft soil or for strong earthquakes. The accuracy of the three-dimensional soil column finite element method was verified by dynamic centrifuge model testing under different peak accelerations of the earthquake. As a result, nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures were improved in this study. The accuracy and efficiency of the three-dimensional seismic ground response analysis can be adapted to the requirements of engineering practice.

为研究施工缝对框架结构抗震性能的影响,利用提出的施工缝模型,基于OPENSEES平台建模进行静力非线性分析和非线性动力时程分析。通过对比整浇框架与带缝框架的顶点最大位移、层间位移角、塑性铰出现和分布规律等明确施工缝对框架结构的抗震性能的影响程度。结果表明,施工缝使框架结构的变形和层间位移角显著增大,并且使8、9度区框架结构的层间位移角分布发生改变;施工缝使柱端更易出现塑性铰,更易发生"强梁弱柱"的破坏模式;在高烈度区,施工缝的影响比较显著,如果忽略其影响,将会高估框架结构的抗震性能。     

Assessing the seismic behavior of steel moment frames equipped by elliptical brace through incremental dynamic analysis (IDA)

Incremental dynamic analysis and nonlinear static pushover analysis are carried out on a performance-based design to determine the seismic demands and capacities of an elliptic braced moment resisting frame (ELBRF). The objective is to assess ductility, overstrength and response modification factors in a modern steel-braced structural system based on incremental dynamic analysis. This integrated system is connected to a beam and column with an appropriate length while providing enough architectural space to allow for an opening without having the common problems associated with architectural spaces in braced systems. Several different classes of buildings are considered on soil type II. Linear dynamic analysis, nonlinear static pushover analysis and incremental nonlinear dynamic analysis related to 12 records from past earthquakes are carried out using OpenSees software. The factors of ductility, overstrength and response modification are calculated for this system. The values of 9.5 and 6.5 are found and suggested only for the response modification factor for ELBRF systems in allowable stress and ultimate limit state methods, respectively. The fragility curves are plotted for the first time for this type of bracing, which contributes to the assessment of building seismic damage.
