振动时效技术在自升式风电安装平台固桩架上的应用

振动时效技术是一种有效消除焊接残余应力、提升构件使用寿命、保证结构尺寸精度的方法。在自升式平台固桩架建造过程中,焊接施工导致其内部产生大量的残余应力,残余应力是导致固桩架精度超差和损伤失效的重要原因之一,它会大幅度降低平台的疲劳寿命,因此,固桩架建造完成后消除其内部残余应力对于平台的使用安全至关重要。本文以一个质量约100 t的固桩架分段为研究对象,采用专门的振动时效设备对固桩架施加激振力,测量振动时效前后主焊缝附近的残余应力水平。通过对比分析发现,振动时效技术可以有效降低固桩架焊接过程中产生的残余应力,达到调整、均化、降低残余应力水平、提高构件尺寸精度稳定性的效果,有利于提升平台的使用寿命。     

河套地震带分区地震空间相关长度变化特征

以河套地震带作为研究区域,选取2001年以来小震事件作为研究对象,采用单键群(SLC)方法,计算研究区地震空间相关长度,并分区域讨论其时序变化特征。计算结果表明,2001年以来,河套地震带5个子区域地震空间相关长度表现出不同变化特征,且无持续性变化,多在约3年时间尺度上表现出增长现象,表明地震空间相关长度的增长变化不太可能反映区域应力场的长期变化,而可能携带应力场的中期变化信息。通过设定不同计算窗长和滑动步长来考证计算结果,发现地震事件时空分布的非均匀性、空间窗形状和大小等因素,可能影响地震空间相关长度的数据变化幅度,但不影响整体变化趋势。     

Seismic Damage to Owner-Built RC Frames in Charikot during the 2015 Nepal Earthquake Sequence

The damage to the masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings in Charikot, the capital city of Dolakha district in Nepal, during the 2015 April-to-May Nepal earthquake sequence is reported. Most of these buildings were built by the owners with little governmental inspections regarding their structural design or constructional quality. Although they generally performed better than other structural systems such as stone-masonry houses, the RC frames sustained extensive damage ranging from cracking of infill to complete collapse. In particular, eight of the 72 inspected RC frames alongside an uphill street collapsed in different ways. In addition to the un-engineered nature of these RC frames, their collapse could also be attributed to multiple technical reasons including the effect of terrain, the pounding between adjacent buildings and the accumulative damage in the earthquake sequence.     

屈曲约束支撑钢框架结构影响因素的静力弹塑性分析

为检验抗侧刚度比和支撑布置方式等因素对具有不同总层数的屈曲约束支撑钢框架的抗震性能影响,借助SAP2000软件,探讨6层、12层、18层屈曲约束支撑钢框架结构在抗侧刚度比分别为1、2、3、4、5共五种工况及倒V型和单斜向两种支撑布置方式下的抗震性能。结果表明,屈曲约束支撑钢框架结构基底剪力-顶点位移曲线呈典型的双线性特征;随抗侧刚度比的增大,结构的层间位移角总体上呈降低趋势,基底剪力及支撑轴力增大,顶点水平位移变小,框架所分担的剪力降低;倒V型布置支撑较单斜向布置具有略大的基底剪力、谱加速度,较小的顶点位移、层位移、层间剪力和框架剪力分担率。分析表明,总体上来看,倒V型布置较单斜向布置时支撑框架结构具有略优的抗震性能;抗侧刚度比较支撑布置方式对支撑框架结构抗震性能的影响更为显著。     

公共建筑结构的抗地震倒塌能力优化评估分析

以往基于模态增量动力方法对公共建筑进行抗地震倒塌能力评估时是单纯地从总体角度进行考察的,其得到的结果较为粗糙,无法准确反映出公共建筑的抗地震倒塌能力,导致其经济效益较差。提出新的公共建筑结构抗地震倒塌能力优化评估方法以分析公共建筑整体的抗地震倒塌能力,总结出其与子结构以及构件三者间的关系,进而研究构件的损毁情况,以实现对建筑抗地震倒塌能力的整体评估。基于公共建筑的倒塌破坏区间,采用其结构抗震倒塌能力评估方法,对公共建筑结构的抗地震倒塌能力实施优化评估分析,得到其具体破坏指数,实现对其进行准确评估。实验结果说明,所提方法可准确描述公共建筑结构的抗地震倒塌能力,提高建筑结构抗地震倒塌能力和经济效益。     

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。     

基于韧性设计的一种地下框架结构抗震新体系研究

Experimental testing and numerical modelling of a heavy timber moment‐resisting frame with ductile steel links

This paper presents the development, experimental testing, and numerical modelling of a new hybrid timber‐steel moment‐resisting connection that is designed to improve the seismic performance of mid‐rise heavy timber moment‐resisting frames (MRF). The connection detail incorporates specially designed replaceable steel links fastened to timber beams and columns using self‐tapping screws. Performance of the connection is verified through experimental testing of four 2/3 scale beam‐column connections. All 4 connection specimens met the acceptance criteria specified in the AISC 341‐10 provisions for steel moment frames and exhibit high strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity up to storey drifts exceeding 4%. All of the timber members and self‐tapping screw connections achieved their design objective, remaining entirely elastic throughout all tests and avoiding brittle modes of failure. To assess the global seismic performance of the newly developed connection in a mid‐rise building, a hybrid timber‐steel building using the proposed moment‐resisting connection is designed and modelled in OpenSees. To compare the seismic performance of the hybrid MRF with a conventional steel MRF, a prototype steel‐only building is also designed and modelled in OpenSees. The building models are subject to a suite of ground motions at design basis earthquake and maximum credible earthquake hazard levels using non‐linear time history analysis. Analytical results show that drifts and accelerations of the hybrid building are similar to a conventional steel building while the foundation forces are significantly reduced for the hybrid structure because of its lower seismic weight. The results of the experimental program and numerical analysis demonstrate the seismic performance of the proposed connection and the ability of the hybrid building to achieve comparable seismic performance to a conventional steel MRF.     

Experimental and analytical investigations of steel panel dampers for seismic applications in steel moment frames

A ductile Vierendeel frame can be constructed by incorporating steel panel dampers (SPDs) into a moment‐resisting frame (MRF). Thus, the stiffness, strength, and ductility of the lateral force–resisting system can be enhanced. The proposed 3‐segment SPD possesses a center inelastic core (IC) and top and bottom elastic joints. This paper discusses the mechanical properties, capacity design method, and buckling‐delaying stiffeners for the SPDs through the use of cyclic loading tests on 2 specimens. Tests confirm that SPDs' cyclic force vs deformation relationships can be accurately predicted using either the Abaqus or PISA3D model analyses. The paper also presents the capacity design method for boundary beams connected to the SPDs of a typical SPD‐MRF. The seismic performance of an example 6‐story SPD‐MRF is evaluated using nonlinear response history analysis procedures and 240 ground accelerations at 3 hazard levels. Results indicate that under 80 maximum considered earthquake ground accelerations, the mean‐plus‐one standard deviation of the shear deformation of the ICs in the SPDs is 0.055 rad, substantially less than the 0.11 rad deformational capacity observed from the SPD specimens. The experimental cumulative plastic deformation of the proposed SPD is 242 times the yield deformation and is capable of sustaining a maximum considered earthquake at least 8 times before failure. This paper introduces the method of using one equivalent beam‐column element for effective modeling of the 3‐segment SPD. The effects of the IC's relative height and stiffness on the overall SPD's elastic and postelastic stiffness, elastic deformation limits, and inelastic deformational demands are discussed.     

最不利主余震序列型地震动作用下RC框架结构易损性研究

余震的发生会造成结构的累积损伤,不同类型的主余震序列地震动对结构的影响有所差异。鉴于此,以主震卓越周期小于或接近余震卓越周期为基本原则,确定了最不利主余震序列地震动。选择4层RC框架结构为研究对象,在增量动力分析的基础上,定义了4个性能水平,以此来研究该结构的易损性。依据破坏状态概率和震害指数,得到7度多遇、7度设防和7度罕遇地震的易损性指数。研究结果表明:依据我国规范设计的RC框架结构的4个性能水平的量化指标限值依次为1/495、1/263、1/108和1/45,余震的出现会加剧结构的破坏状态。当以易损性指数作为评价指标时,可认为该结构能够满足小震不坏、中震可修和大震不倒的抗震设防目标。
