Hybrid experiments on non-linear earthquake-induced soil-structure interaction

Non-linear seismic soil-structure interaction is studied through a hybrid procedure using the pseudo-dynamic testing (PDT) method which is modified to take into account frequency dependence and developed for foundation-soil systems. The numerical scheme used in conventional PDT is improved by introduction of a time-dependent pseudo-forcing function which is derived from frequency-dependent dynamic characteristics of the system by means of Hilbert transformation in the frequency domain. Surface, shallow and caisson foundation models that differed in size and depth of embedment were used. The mechanical characteristics of the systems were determined from static and forced vibration dynamic tests. An amplitude scaling technique was used for three recorded accelerograms.

填充墙刚度影响的实测高层建筑增量动力分析

高层结构中的填充墙在地震作用下与周围结构构件之间的相互作用十分复杂,对建筑结构的整体抗震性能具有较大影响。然而我国规范在设计阶段通常不考虑填充墙对结构抗震性能的影响,统一采用周期折减系数来考虑其刚度变化引起的内力变化,因此准确评估填充墙对结构抗震性能的影响具有重要意义。本文在对一栋框-剪结构和一栋剪力墙高层建筑进行随机振动测试的基础上,利用Perform-3D对每栋高层分别建立了3种分析模型。其中对未考虑填充墙作用的结构模型,分别采取规范建议值和实测结果值两种方式进行周期折减。对通过添加斜撑单元来考虑填充墙作用的结构模型,利用环境激励测试识别获得的结构模态信息进行模型修正。对该3种模型进行了增量动力分析,探讨潜在危险性水平地震作用下填充墙对高层建筑抗震性能的影响。结果表明,填充墙增加了结构在弹性阶段的整体初始刚度,但随着地震动强度的增加逐渐丧失对结构刚度的贡献作用。相比考虑了填充墙作用的模型计算结果,规范建议的周期折减系数较为保守。同时研究发现,填充墙对高层框-剪结构的影响程度要比剪力墙结构大。     

考虑墙-框连接刚度影响的填充墙框架结构抗震性能分析

历史震害表明,填充墙与框架的连接刚度对框架结构的抗震性能有重要影响。我国《建筑抗震设计规范》(2010)建议"框架结构中的砌体填充墙,宜与柱脱开或采用柔性连接",但对二者的具体连接刚度,规范并没有做出明确规定。运用ABAQUS软件,对前人开展的考虑填充墙与框架连接影响的框架结构拟静力试验进行数值模拟,对比分析填充墙框架结构破坏特征及滞回曲线等抗震性能指标,验证了有限元模型的可靠性。基于某典型框架结构,建立不考虑填充墙、考虑填充墙与框架不同连接刚度的框架结构有限元模型。模态分析表明,连接刚度对框架结构的频率影响较小,结构的动力特性趋于一致;多遇地震和罕遇地震作用下的弹塑性时程分析表明,合适的连接刚度可以提高结构的抗震性能。研究可为框架结构的抗震设计提供参考。

Seismic performance evaluation of an infilled rocking wall frame structure through quasi-static cyclic testing

Earthquake investigations have illustrated that even code-compliant reinforced concrete frames may suffer from soft-story mechanism. This damage mode results in poor ductility and limited energy dissipation. Continuous components offer alternatives that may avoid such failures. A novel infilled rocking wall frame system is proposed that takes advantage of continuous component and rocking characteristics. Previous studies have investigated similar systems that combine a reinforced concrete frame and a wall with rocking behavior used. However, a large-scale experimental study of a reinforced concrete frame combined with a rocking wall has not been reported. In this study, a seismic performance evaluation of the newly proposed infilled rocking wall frame structure was conducted through quasi-static cyclic testing. Critical joints were designed and verified. Numerical models were established and calibrated to estimate frame shear forces. The results evaluation demonstrate that an infilled rocking wall frame can effectively avoid soft-story mechanisms. Capacity and initial stiffness are greatly improved and self-centering behavior is achieved with the help of the infilled rocking wall. Drift distribution becomes more uniform with height. Concrete cracks and damage occurs in desired areas. The infilled rocking wall frame offers a promising approach to achieving seismic resilience.     

Assessing the effect of bi-directional loading on nonlinear static and dynamic behaviour of masonry-infilled frames with openings

In assessing the structural performance of infilled frames, in particular those with irregular and discontinuous infill panels, under bi-directional seismic excitation, the interaction effect of in-plane and out-of-plane lateral loads should be properly considered. This paper presents an investigation into the effect of bi-directional horizontal loading on the nonlinear static and dynamic behaviour of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames with openings in association with discrete-finite element modelling techniques. Out-of-plane loading and openings can significantly soften the bracing action provided by infill walls to the bounding frame. Under static load, the lateral strength of the infilled frames can reduce by 20–50 % when the applied out-of-plane load increase from 0.5 times to 2.0 times the unit weight of infills. The out-of-plane effects are intensified in dynamic loading cases. It is found that the peak base shears of the fully infilled frame under the bi-directional excitations are lower by 24.7 % under the Superstition Hill earthquake (PGA = 0.45 g) and 54.1 % under the Chi–Chi earthquake (PGA = 0.82 g) as compared with the uni-directional load cases. The displacement demands are also greater under bi-directional dynamic loading. For 2/3 height infilled frame, the displacement demands are significantly increased by 99.7 % under Kobe (PGA = 0.65 g) and 111.0 % under Chi–Chi earthquake (PGA = 0.82 g) respectively. For the fully infilled frame, the displacement demands are 84.1 % higher under Kobe and 53.1 % higher under Chi–Chi. Due to the incapability of developing continuous arching action, the infill panels with openings are particularly vulnerable to out-of-plane action and that often leads to progressive collapse of infill components. The worst scenario is that total collapse of infill panels takes place at the first storey, creating a soft-storey that jeopardise the overall structural stability.

Shake‐table tests of a three‐story reinforced concrete frame with masonry infill walls

This paper presents the shake‐table tests of a 2/3‐scale, three‐story, two‐bay, reinforced concrete frame infilled with unreinforced masonry walls. The specimen is representative of the construction practice in California in the 1920s. The reinforced concrete frame had nonductile reinforcement details and it was infilled with solid masonry walls in one bay and infill walls with window openings in the other bay. The structure was subjected to a sequence of dynamic tests including white‐noise base excitations and 14 scaled historical earthquake ground motion records of increasing intensity. The performance of the structure was satisfactory considering the seismic loads it was subjected to. The paper summarizes the design of the specimen and the major findings from the shake‐table tests, including the dynamic response, the load resistance, the evolution of damage, and the final failure mechanism.

基于拟动力法的抗滑桩加固边坡地震稳定性分析

地震力作用下土质边坡动态稳定性研究对实际边坡工程有着重要的意义。采用拟动力法结合简化毕肖普法研究坡顶抗滑桩加固土质边坡在地震力作用下的动态稳定性。尽管拟静力法是目前处理地震力最为广泛的方法之一,但其局限性在于无法考虑地震力随时间变化且忽略了地震波在土体中的传播。而拟动力法采用正弦波模拟地震波在土中传播,并考虑地震波从坡脚传递到坡顶的相位差以及阻尼力对边坡稳定性的影响,通过边坡安全系数的变化揭示土质边坡在地震力作用下的稳定性变化规律。将得到的结果与拟静力法进行对比,突出了拟动力法的优势。最后,考虑水平地震加速度系数、加速度幅值放大系数以及土体内摩擦角对边坡稳定性的影响,以期对实际工程提供理论借鉴。     

Masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete frames as a source of structural damping

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the determination of damping characteristics of bare, masonry infilled, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer retrofitted infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames. It is well known that the masonry infills are used as partitioning walls having significant effect on the damping characteristics of structures as well as contribution to the lateral stiffness and strength. The main portion of the input energy imparted to the structure during earthquakes is dissipated through hysteretic and damping energies. The equivalent damping definition is used to reflect various damping mechanisms globally. In this study, the equivalent damping ratio of carbon fiber reinforced polymer retrofitted infilled RC systems is quantified through a series of 1/3‐scaled, one‐bay, one‐story frames. Quasi‐static tests are carried out on eight specimens with two different loading patterns: one‐cycled and three‐cycled displacement histories and the pseudo‐dynamic tests performed on eight specimens for selected acceleration record scaled at three different PGA levels with two inertia mass conditions. The results of the experimental studies are evaluated in two phases: (i) equivalent damping is determined for experimentally obtained cycles from quasi‐static and pseudo‐dynamic tests; and (ii) an iterative procedure is developed on the basis of the energy balance formulation to determine the equivalent damping ratio. On the basis of the results of these evaluations, equivalent damping of levels of 5%, 12%, and 14% can be used for bare, infilled, and retrofitted infilled RC frames, respectively.

Pseudo-dynamic testing using conventional testing devices

This paper presents the development of a new type of pseudo-dynamic test system, in which a conventional static jack is utilized for loading. Two of the new hardware devices developed for the system are detailed: a hydraulic pump system that can adjust the rate of oil flow using an inverter motor, and a controller that controls the jack's motion with a displacement feedback signal transmitted from a digital displacement transducer. The unique advantages of the system are summarized as: larger force capacity achieved by the static jack, maximum use of hardware devices available in many existing structural testing laboratories, and flexibility for program development accomplished by separating tasks into multiple PCs. The reliability of the system is calibrated first by a pseudo-dynamic test for an SDOF system and then by a pseudo-dynamic test for a ten-storey building model having hysteretic dampers. For the latter test, substructuring techniques have been incorporated. The accuracy of the results obtained is discussed based upon the capacity of the system to control displacement and comparison with numerical results.

Seismic behaviour of pile groups by hybrid experiments

Non-linear seismic soil-pile interaction was studied with a hybrid procedure that used a pseudo-dynamic testing (PDT) method modified to account for frequency dependence and developed for foundation-soil systems. The numerical scheme used in the conventional PDT was improved by the introduction of a time-dependent pseudo-forcing function derived from the frequency-dependent dynamic characteristics of the system by Hilbert transformation in the frequency domain. Single, 2-, 3- and 9-pile group foundation models were used, their mechanical characteristics later being determined from static and forced vibration dynamic tests. Amplitude scaling was used for three recorded accelerograms. Data recorded during an earthquake at the site of the experiments revealed that the proposed methodology predicts well seismic nonlinear interaction and accounts for frequency dependence and non-linearity in the time domain.
