Analytical prediction of seismic behaviour for concentrically-braced steel systems

This paper presents an analytical model for the inelastic response analysis of braced steel structures. A model is first presented for the behaviour of steel struts subjected to cyclic axial load, which combines the analytical formulation of plastic hinge behaviour with empirical formulas developed on the basis of experimental data. The brace is modelled as a pin-ended member, with a plastic hinge located at the midspan. Braces, with other end conditions, are handled using the effective length concept. Step-wise regression analysis is employed, to approximate the plastic conditions for the steel UC section. Verification of the brace model is performed on the basis of quasi-static analyses of individual struts and a one-bay one-storey X-braced steel frame. The comparison of analytical and experimental data has confirmed that the proposed brace model is able to accurately simulate the cyclic inelastic behaviour of steel braces and braced systems. A series of dynamic analyses has been performed on two-storey V- and X-braced frames to study the influence of brace slenderness ratio on the inelastic response, and to look at the redistribution of forces in the post-buckling range of behaviour of CBFs. Recommendations have been made as to the estimation of maximum storey drifts for concentrically-braced steel frames in major seismic event. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

半刚性连接钢框架抗震性能的模型试验研究

通过两榀1／2比例的一跨两层半刚性连接钢框架模型的低周反复荷载试验,研究了框架模型的破坏机制、、出饺顺序、滞回特性、耗能能力等抗震性能。从而得出结论：具有腹板双角钢的顶底角钢连接的钢框架由于节点连接刚度较小,因此框架在侧向力作用下变形较大,但同时此连接也改善了梁柱的内力分布,提高了框架的耗能能力,增加了结构抗震性能。     

FIBRE BEAM–COLUMN MODEL FOR NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS OF R/C FRAMES: PART I. FORMULATION

This paper presents a fibre beam–column element for the non-linear static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete frames. It is assumed that plane sections remain plane and normal to the longitudinal axis. The effects of shear and bond-slip are, thus, presently neglected. The non-linear hysteretic behaviour of the element derives from the constitutive relations of concrete and reinforcing steel fibres into which each section is divided. The element formulation is flexibility-based and relies on force interpolation functions that strictly satisfy the equilibrium of bending moments and axial force along the element. Since the element does not make use of displacement interpolation functions, an iterative algorithm is needed for the determination of the resisting forces during the element state determination. The proposed algorithm is accurate and stable, even in the presence of strength loss, and is, thus, capable of tracing very well the highly non-linear behaviour of R/C members under cyclic load combinations of bending moment and axial force.     

云南地区地震视应力的时间和空间分布研究

利用地面运动峰值速度(rmiddot;v)测定地震波辐射能ER的方法,详细研究了云南地区中小地震和两次余震序列的地震视应力sigma;a的时空分布. 结果表明,视应力在空间分布上存在明显的非均匀性,高视应力集中区与中小地震活动频繁地区相关. 在大姚6.2级主震前,视应力出现了高值变化时段,是平均值0.25 MPa的5倍,且主震及周围地区具有相对较高的视应力值. 因此,视应力的时空变化特征可作为地震危险性预测的一种新的判据,余震序列视应力sigma;aA与主震视应力sigma;aM之比一般小于1.0.      

国际工序贸易的空间经济分布效应研究——克鲁格曼开放度假说的再考察

基于开放经济新中心是否与封闭经济原有中心空间重合的视角,以中国为背景对国际工序贸易影响空间经济分布的三大渠道进行理论阐释,在全球价值链背景下重新考察克鲁格曼的开放度假说。在理论分析基础上,借助加工贸易集聚熵指数和空间赫希曼-赫芬达尔指数（及校正地理集中指数）分别度量各省国际工序贸易嵌入程度和空间经济集聚水平,以中国23个省2001~2016年的面板数据构建动态面板模型,利用差分和系统广义矩估计对提出的理论假说进行实证分析和稳健性检验。结果表明：与开放度假说相反,国际工序贸易促进省域空间经济集聚;且工序贸易对经济集聚的促进作用在沿海要大于内陆。     

基于材料非线性的两种海缆弯曲限制器的有限元分析与试验验证

海缆在使用过程中,受到洋流冲击及自身重量的影响,容易过度弯曲,从而影响海缆的寿命,造成经济损失。弯曲限制器是防止海缆过度弯曲的重要附件。文中建立海缆弯曲限制器A、B两种不同结构的模型,通过有限元模拟分析,比较在相同弯矩载荷下两种结构的锁紧弯曲半径及应力、应变情况,并通过试验验证两种结构的实际使用情况和模拟分析结果的一致性,为海缆弯曲限制器的优化改进提供了参考。计算结果表明:随着弯矩的增大,两种结构的锁定弯曲半径的变化趋势一致,但相同的弯曲半径下所能承受的载荷和两种结构曲率的平缓度有着较大的差异;在相同的应用环境下,B型结构能够更好地保护海缆,限制海缆的最小弯曲半径。     

火灾中集装箱船剩余极限强度研究

采用ISO规定的火灾的标准温度—时间曲线建立船体结构的火灾模型。基于能量守恒原理建立热传导微分方程,计算热传导、对流和辐射对结构温度分布的影响。考虑火灾发生位置的差异性,分析得到着火区域的温度场。根据高温下钢材的力学性能,针对火灾发生位置的不同,利用非线性有限元方法,分析火灾对集装箱船剩余弯曲极限强度(中拱、中垂)的影响。结果表明,集装箱船不同位置发生火灾时,对船体结构极限强度的影响具有显著差异。船舱某一位置发生火灾时,对船体梁中拱和中垂极限强度的影响也分别不同。对集装箱船火灾的瞬态分析结果表明,火灾对船体梁极限强度的衰减作用主要发生在火灾发展过程中的前期,船体梁极限强度的衰减速度随火灾发展的时间逐渐减慢。

Source Parameters of Old Earthquakes: Semi-Automatic Digitization of Analog Records and Seismic Moment Assessment

Recovering seismic information contained in old analog records could increase our knowledge of seismic source characteristics and the seismicity of a region. This is particularly important in zones with low to moderate seismicity.To extract the available information, it is necessary to digitize the seismic records. This is not an easy task especially owing to the generally poor quality of the original records, with illegible or missing parts. However some exceptions were found in the records of a few seismological stations in Germany, Sweden and France.This paper presents an example of the recovering of source parameters and can be divided in two parts: the first one presents a simple semi-automatic technique for digitization of old analog seismic records, developed using commercial software on a PC; the second part describes the methodology of assessing the seismic moment, using empirical and theoretical relations, as well as the seismic source dimensions.The earthquake selected to illustrate this procedure is the 23 April 1909 Benavente (Portugal) earthquake. This earthquake occurred in the Lower Tagus Valley region and caused great destruction in the meizoseismal area. It is the biggest earthquake that occurred during this century in the central part of the country and its magnitude has been estimated between 6.6 and 7.6.The digitization procedure allowed the recovery of seismic information contained in old analog records, in particular, the seismic moment estimation. The results obtained indicated that 7.6 was a very high value for the magnitude of the 23 April 1909 earthquake, suggesting that the magnitude reported in the Portuguese catalogue is overestimated. The estimated moment magnitude is 6.0.
