Seismic design methodology for friction damped braced frames

This paper is concerned with the design of steel frames using friction damped slotted bolted connections (SBCs) in the diagonal braces. A dynamic model is developed to describe the behaviour of a single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) steel frame that uses bilinear hysteretic behaviour for the damper. This model is generalized to MDOF systems. A novel algorithm for displacement reversal in the transition from slip to stick is presented. It uses numerical noise for its success. A design procedure that attains the stiffness of the individual braces and their elongation at the threshold of activation is then applied to a 10‐storey steel frame. This design process is a two‐phase iterative procedure that converges quite fast. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Simulation of damage in RC frames with variable axial forces

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the methods and concepts of continuum damage and fracture mechanics can be applied to the modelling of the hysteretic behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame members under variable axial loads. A frame member is considered as the assemblage of an elastic beam-column and two inelastic hinges, as in conventional nonlinear analysis of RC frames. As a result of the combination of damage mechanics and standard RC theory, a simplified model of damage is proposed and implemented as a finite element (FE). This new element can be used with any non-linear commercial FE program. The numerical simulation of several experiments, for which data were available in the literature, verifies the accuracy of the model. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

海上超长大钢管桩的高应变动力检测

海上,超长、大直径钢管斜桩,设计极限承载能力超过50MN。通常情况下是无法对这样的桩的承载力进行静载荷试验的。但由于在打桩过程中,桩端未达预定深度,需要知道实际桩的承载力情况,于是采用高应变动力检测方法来完成这一任务。该文介绍采用高应变方法检测海上超长大钢管桩承载力的一些情况。

运用高分辨率层序地层学原理,详细分析了鄂尔多斯盆地富县地区二叠系山西组地层沉积的基准面旋回特征,共识别出了2个长期旋回、4个中期旋回和8～12个短期旋回,并得出了两类可容空间的短期旋回识别特征。对不同井基准面旋回联井分析得出,储集层段多发育于短期基准面上升半旋回的水下分流河道、河口坝和浊流沉积砂体中,且砂体与前三角洲泥呈指状交叉,形成岩性油气藏。建立的研究区高分辨率层序地层格架对进一步的油气勘探具有指导性的意义。

钙质砂与钢界面循环剪切刚度与阻尼比的试验研究

钙质砂与钢界面的动力响应对岛礁地质条件下结构物基础的安全与稳定具有重要意义。基于界面环剪仪,开展了一系列钙质砂?钢界面循环剪切试验,探究了法向应力、剪切位移幅值和粒径大小对界面剪切刚度和阻尼比的影响,并与石英砂进行了对比。研究结果表明：法向应力和剪切位移幅值对界面剪切刚度和阻尼比起控制作用;法向应力的增大导致界面剪切刚度增大、阻尼比降低;剪切位移幅值的增大,则导致剪切刚度近似呈反比降低,而阻尼比近似呈对数增大;对于均一粒径的钙质砂,存在着分界粒径,使其剪切刚度和阻尼比的变化规律呈现显著区别;石英砂粒径较大时,其界面剪切刚度和阻尼比与钙质砂明显不同,而粒径较小时两类砂表现出类似的剪切刚度和阻尼比特性。     

Experimental investigation of damage behavior of RC frame members including non-seismically designed columns

Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are one of the mostly common used structural systems, and their seismic performance is largely determined by the performance of columns and beams. This paper describes horizontal cyclic loading tests often column and three beam specimens, some of which were designed according to the current seismic design code and others were designed according to the early non-seismic Chinese design code, aiming at reporting the behavior of the damaged or collapsed RC frame strctures observed during the Wenchuan earthquake. The effects of axial load ratio,shear span ratio, and transverse and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on hysteresis behavior, ductility and damage progress were incorporated in the experimental study. Test results indicate that the non-seismically designed columns show premature shear failure, and yield larger maximum residual crack widths and more concrete spalling than the seismically designed columns. In addition, longitudinal steel reinforcement rebars were severely buckled. The axial load ratio and shear span ratio proved to be the most important factors affecting the ductility, crack opening width and closing ability, while the longitudinal reinforcement ratio had only a minor effect on column ductility, but exhibited more influence on beam ductility. Finally, the transverse reinforcement ratio did not influence the maximum residual crack width and closing ability of the seismically designed columns.
