地震动反应谱与RC框架结构地震响应相关性分析

弹塑性时程分析一般用来评估和验算结构抗震性能,如何选取合适的输入地震动是其中关键工作之一。为给结构弹塑性时程分析选取地震动提供合理的参考参数,本文讨论了地震动反应谱参数与结构地震响应之间的相关性。首先建立了6层和7层两个钢筋混凝土(RC)框架结构数值模型,分别对两个结构进行了大量地震动作用下的时程反应分析,并考察了地震反应特点;然后将结构地震响应与地震动反应谱参数建立关系并进行了相关性分析。结果表明:对RC框架而言,结构地震响应与弹性谱参数相关性较小,与等强度反应谱相关性随标准屈服强度降低而增大,与等延性反应谱相关性随延性增大而增大,而与地震动输入能量谱在标准屈服强度较小时相关性最大。建议RC框架结构在进行地震反应时程分析时,可以参考地震动的弹塑性输入能量谱、等强度速度谱和等延性加速度或位移谱,以选取引起结构不同地震反应水平的输入地震动。本文结果和结论可供结构弹塑性时程分析选取合适的输入地震动参考。     

框架结构的输入地震动记录调幅方法试验研究

为了确定框架结构弹塑性时程分析时输入地震动记录的调幅方法,本文利用一个1/40比例的框架结构振动台试验研究了四种地震动记录调幅方法的适用性。利用四种地震动记录调幅方法对20条地震动记录调幅,通过振动台依次输入不同周期的框架结构中,通过分析结构顶层的层间位移角和最大加速度两个参数的变异系数,确定最适宜此种结构体系的地震动记录调幅方法。研究表明,当结构的基本周期可以准确确定时,利用S_a(T_1)调幅方法得到的地震动记录引起结构响应的离散程度最小;当结构的基本周期不确定时,利用MIV调幅方法得到的地震动记录引起结构响应的离散程度最小;当周期有30%的变化时,ASCE调幅方法引起结构的最大加速度的变异系数波动不大,相对比较稳定;无论何时PGA调幅方法得到的变异系数都是最大,表明此法得到的离散程度最大。建议在对框架结构进行时程分析时,对于确定性周期的结构采用S_a(T_1)调幅方法,对于不确定性周期的结构采用MIV调幅方法,ASCE和PGA调幅方法不宜采用。

砾性土剪切波速影响因素试验研究

剪切波速被认为是砾性土液化判别的有效指标,为探究砾性土剪切波速的影响因素,设计四因素三水准试验,利用GDS大型三轴-剪切波速设备研究含砾量、相对密度、固结应力和应力比等因素对砾性土剪切波速的影响。试验结果表明:砾性土的剪切波速与前述因素都有较好的相关性;当含砾量、相对密度、固结应力、应力比等增大,砾性土的剪切波速也随之增大;四个因素对砾性土剪切波速的影响程度与模式存在差异,其中固结应力是最为显著的影响因素。     

武汉交通学校群楼爆破拆除塌落振动分析

为了分析一次性爆破拆除多栋建筑造成的地面振动的特征及对周边建筑物的影响,对武汉交通学校群楼爆破拆除中的地面振动进行了测量,并对实测的塌落振动的峰值、频谱特性进行分析。结果表明:此次监测记录到的峰值频率在5～10 Hz,对比高架桥以及单一高层结构爆破拆除数据,倒塌叠加使得振动能量在频谱上分布更加离散,其峰值频率与周边结构自振频率相差变大,周边建筑共振的危险性降低;对于周围的结构而言,水平振动持时大于竖向振动,但水平振动幅值明显小于竖向振动;爆破塌落振动的竖向分量对周围结构的威胁较大,应采取有效的缓冲及隔振措施;由《爆破安全规程》和周边建筑爆破前后主振频率分析可知,本次爆破拆除工作未对周边建筑造成破坏性影响,验证了群楼爆破拆除方案的高效性和安全性。     

Identification of pulse-like ground motions using artificial neural network

For more than 20 years, the concept of near-fault pulse-like ground motion has been a topic of great interest due to its distinct characteristics, particularly due to directivity or fling effects, which are hugely influenced by the rupture mechanism. These unexpected characteristics, along with their effective frequency, energy rate, and damage indices, create a near-fault, pulse-like ground motion capable of causing severe damage to structures. One of the most common approaches for identifying ...     

不同减隔震措施下平板支座抗震性能试验研究

为探究不同减隔震措施对短边距混凝土网架平板支座的抗震性能和破坏模式的影响,分别针对不同混凝土边缘距离以及采用不同减隔震措施的四个平板支座缩尺试件进行拟静力加载试验,对平板支座破坏模式、滞回曲线、箍筋应变进行分析。试验结果表明:平板支座的运动伴随着平动和转动。当混凝土边距不足时,边缘混凝土在压剪作用下,会发生冲切破坏。开长孔支座能较好的释放水平位移,并且对锚栓约束较弱,使其受力较小,从而减轻了边缘混凝土的受力。对采用橡胶垫板的支座,混凝土边缘未发生破坏,原因是橡胶垫具有良好的变形能力,可以释放支座的位移和转角,使得边缘混凝土受力较小。因此,针对混凝土边缘距离较短的平板支座节点,为防止混凝土发生边缘破坏,可采用开长孔支座,但需要对孔长进行合理的设计。采用橡胶垫支座也可避免混凝土发生边缘破坏,橡胶垫板可按照我国相关设计规范进行设计。     

Influence of rooftop telecommunication tower on set back-step back building resting on different ground slopes

In the hilly region due to scarcity of the plain area, buildings like set back-step back are more often used and also as a big surge in the telecommunication industries, rooftop tower adaptation is very common story nowadays. In the present study an analogy has been drawn to find out the influence of the rooftop telecommunication tower on the setback-step back building resting on ground at 20° and 30° slopes. A dynamic analysis has been performed and compared on the 4 legged angled section telecommunication tower which is located on the roof top of set back-step back building by varying positions of tower with the existing host structure built up on ground slope of 20° and 30° in both directions(X and Y).

地震频谱特性对高速列车车体振动的影响分析

为研究不同频谱特性的地震作用对高速列车振动的影响,本文建立31自由度的机车模型,利用三角级数法生成轨道不平顺。通过在水平、竖直两个方向输入不同频谱特性的三条地震波,主要从频域角度分析总结了不同车速和不同地震峰值加速度下车体的垂直和横向加速度。结果表明,地震对车体横向振动的影响大于垂向;地震动的低频成分居多时,会使得车体振动响应增大。地震峰值加速度对车体振动有较大影响且车速和地震峰值加速度共同控制车体的横向和垂向振动主频。列车运行时,若遇到卓越频率低且峰值加速度较大的地震激励。

A hybrid artificial bee colony algorithm and support vector machine for predicting blast-induced ground vibration

Because nearby construction has harmful effects, precisely predicting blast-induced ground vibration is critical.In this paper, a hybrid artificial bee colony(ABC) and support vector machine(SVM) model was proposed for predicting the value of peak particle velocity(PPV), which is used to describe blast-induced ground vibration. To construct the model,5 potentially relevant factors, including controllable and uncontrollable parameters, were considered as input parameters,and PPV was set as the ou...
