Spatial ground motion effect on relative displacement of adjacent building structures

This paper analyses earthquake ground motion spatial variation effects on relative linear elastic response of adjacent building structures. It studies the relative importance of ground motion spatial variations and dynamic characteristics of adjacent structures in causing relative responses. Random vibration method is used in the study. It is found that, besides ground-acceleration-induced dynamic responses, quasi-static responses induced by spatially varying ground displacements also contribute significantly to the relative structural responses. The effects of spatial ground motions are very pronounced to the relative displacements of adjacent low-rise structures, and to those of high-rise adjacent structures with similar vibration characteristics. The effect of vibration properties of adjacent structures are, however, more significant to those of high-rise adjacent structures if they poses noticeably different vibration periods.

High-fidelity control of a seismic shake table

A high-fidelity PC-based control system has been developed to improve the tracking characteristics of a small-scale seismic motion simulator used for testing structural control designs. This work outlines the development and testing of the control system. First, the simulator hardware is described in detail. The process of constructing a mechanistic model of the system and identifying model parameters is then described. Next, a closed-loop feedback/feed-forward control algorithm, based on an optimal receding horizon formulation, is developed. The control design was tested and the results indicate that the seismic shake table precisely tracked reference seismic motions. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

In-plane floor flexibility effects on torsionally unbalanced systems

This paper presents the results of an analytical work addressed to understand the effects of in-plane floor flexibility on torsionally unbalanced (TU) systems subjected to bidirectional firm-soil earthquake records. The study uses a structural system consisting of a linear-elastic diaphragm supported by non-linear frames oriented along two orthogonal directions. The diaphragm is modelled with plane-stress finite elements and frames with stiffness-degrading flexural elements. Results indicate that an increase of in-plane diaphragm flexibility leads to a reduction of frame displacements for systems with initial lateral period of vibration T>0·4 s. For systems with T⩽0·4 s, in-plane floor flexibility can lead to significant frame displacement increments (50 per cent higher). Results show that these variations on displacements decrease for increasing values of both the seismic-force reduction factor and the system initial lateral period.

基于随机振动模型的强地面运动数值模拟及其在广西灵山M6(3/4)地震中的应用

1936年4月1日广西灵山县平山镇东南罗阳山附近发生M6(3/4)地震,该地震是华南大陆自有地震记载以来发生的最大地震。本研究收集整理了灵山M6(3/4)地震的地质资料、活动断层探测最新成果等,选取适当的研究区域,利用随机振动有限断层模型计算区域内网格点的峰值加速度(PGA)及峰值速度(PGV)等参数,并且加入浅层横波速度结构V_s³⁰对地震动参数的影响,最终得到此次地震的地震动分布并分析了地震动特征。本研究将模拟结果与野外调查烈度数据和地震动衰减关系进行对比,结果显示模拟结果与调查烈度值和衰减关系在整体衰减特征、极震区的分布等方面均符合较好,模拟结果可为该地区未来地震危害性评估提供依据。本研究所使用的方法流程亦可应用于本地区地震烈度速报,为震后应急救援及决策指挥提供帮助。

地震动强度对场地地震反应的影响

通过对场地地震反应的研究发现,地震动强度不同,同样的场地对地震动的影响也不同,得到的反应谱形状也不同。目前我国抗震设计规范中不同烈度下的设计反应谱形状完全一致,没有考虑地震动强弱对相同场地反应谱形状的影响。

提出一种以绝对加速度反应谱和峰值速度为目标的合成人造地震动时程的方法.该方法首先利用传统的在频域内调整傅里叶幅值谱的方法,生成以给定峰值加速度、反应谱和强度包线为目标的初始加速度时程a(0)g(t);然后利用在时域内叠加窄带时程的方法来进一步调整a(0)g(t),以使其峰值速度逼近目标峰值速度,并且提高对目标反应谱的拟合精度.算例分析结果表明,该算法所得结果具有很高的拟合精度.     

多普勒系统对历元地球参考框架的影响研究

针对历元地球参考框架在确定站点高频非线性运动和季节性变化方面具有国际地球参考框架不具备的优势问题,该文通过比较两种技术间组合策略建立的多源融合历元地球参考框架的精度,研究DORIS对于多源融合历元地球参考框架的影响。通过基于坐标的法方程叠加方法进行技术内法方程叠加和技术间组合,并利用并置站条件联系不同技术的法方程,从而建立多源融合历元地球参考框架。结果表明,DORIS的引入并不会对多源融合历元地球参考框架的基准定义或其他3种技术站点的点位精度产生较大的影响,同时能够体现4种技术中精度较差的DORIS对于ETRF的精度及稳定性的影响。
