In this investigation, the seismic torsional response of a multi-storey concentrically braced frame (CBF) plan irregular structure is evaluated numerically and experimentally through a series of hybrid tests. CBF structures have become popular in seismic design because they are one of the most efficient types of steel structures to resist earthquake loading. However, their response under plan irregular conditions has received little focus mostly in part due to their complex behaviour under seismic loading conditions. The majority of research on the seismic response of plan irregular structures is based purely on numerical investigations. This paper provides much needed experimental investigation of the seismic response of a CBF plan irregular structure with the aim of characterising the response of this class of structure. The effectiveness of the Eurocode 8 torsional effects provision as a method of designing for low levels of mass eccentricity is evaluated. Results indicate that some of the observations made by purely numerical models are valid in that; torsionally stiff structures perform well and the stiff side of the structure is subjected to a greater ductility demand compared to the flexible side of the structure. The Eurocode 8 torsional effects provision is shown to be adequate in terms of ductility and interstorey drift however the structure performs poorly in terms of floor rotation. Importantly, stiffness eccentricity occurs when the provision is applied to the structure when no mass eccentricity exists and results in a significant increase in floor rotations. 相似文献

Among the resisting systems suitable for the design of ductile steel structures, Eurocode 8 proposes MRFs and EBFs. The formers are considered more efficient in terms of ductility, but they suffer a strong weakness in the lateral stiffness, with following cumbersome design procedures to avoid excessive lateral displacements maintaining a quite high ductile behaviour under seismic actions. Often, the design process leads to not optimized structural members, oversized with respect to the minimum seismic requirements due to lateral deformation limitations. EBFs combine high lateral stiffness, due to bracing elements, and high dissipative capacities, provided by the plastic hinges developed in links. Eurocode 8 proposes a design procedure for EBF structures in which iterative checks are required to design links with a defined level resistance dependent on all the other links’ strength. The present paper investigates the seismic behaviour of EBFs using Incremental Dynamic Analyses (IDA) to explore their mechanical response under increasing seismic action. IDAs are executed considering the influence of variability of steel mechanical properties on the behaviour of EBFs, using seven artificial accelerograms according to Eurocode 8. The aims of IDAs are the probabilistic assessment of the response of the system with respect to the variability of the material properties, the analysis of structural safety and the ability of the structures to internally redistribute plastic phenomena during the earthquake. Structural safety conditions will be defined according to a multi-level performance approach. The paper presents also some final suggestions for possible improvements and design simplifications. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of research in reliability of short seismic links in shear based on tests. Four types of short links were analysed, each having the same cross section and the same length, but with different number of web stiffeners. The main purpose of the stiffeners is to preserve buckling of the seismic link web, i.e. to achieve plastification of the cross section by shear. The design model of shear resistance according to Eurocode 8 is applicable only to short links without web stiffeners. By adding the web stiffeners nonlinear inelastic behaviour of short seismic links differs depending on the number of stiffeners, so that the calculation model of shear resistance according to Eurocode 8 for short seismic link with stiffeners should be improved. This fact is considered by introducing the improve factors that were determined from the laboratory tests conducted on 16 specimens. On the base of tests in the second part of this paper the reliability of short seismic link is performed by forming limit state equations. These equations are formed by using the stochastic model, i.e. by describing the statistical nature of basic variables calculating the reliability index as an operational value of failure probability. The reliability level was determined by using the probabilistic analysis based on the first order reliability method which resulted with the conclusion that the short seismic links with two and three couples of web stiffeners designed according to requirements of Eurocode 8 have enough reliability for the reliability class RC2 and the mean recurrence interval of 50 years. 相似文献

The seismic evaluation of existing buildings is a more difficult task than the seismic design of new buildings. Non-linear
methods are needed if realistic results are to be obtained. However, the application to real complex structures of various
evaluation procedures, which have usually been tested on highly idealized structural models, is by no means straightforward.
In the paper, a practice-oriented procedure for the seismic evaluation of building structures, based on the N2 method, is
presented, together with the application of this method to an existing multi-storey reinforced concrete building. This building,
which is asymmetric in plan and irregular in elevation, consists of structural walls and frames. It was designed in 1962 for
gravity loads and a minimum horizontal loading (2% of the total weight). The main results presented in terms of the global
and local seismic demands are compared with the results of non-linear dynamic response-history analyses. As expected, the
structure would fail if subjected to the design seismic action according to Eurocode 8. The shear capacity of the structural
walls is the most critical. If the shear capacity of these elements was adequate, the structure would be able to survive the
design ground motion according to Eurocode 8, in spite of the very low level of design horizontal forces. The applied approach
proved to be a feasible tool for the seismic evaluation of complex structures. However, due to the large randomness and uncertainty
which are involved in the determination of both the seismic demand and the seismic capacity, only rough estimates of the seismic
behaviour of such structures can be obtained. 相似文献

Seismic response of a RC frame building designed according to old and modern practices 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
In the paper the seismic response of different variants of the three-story reinforced concrete frame structure SPEAR is compared.
The basic structure is representative of building practice before the adoption of seismic codes. This structure has been compared
with four modified variants, which were designed partly or completely in accordance with the Eurocode family of standards.
For seismic assessment the practice-oriented nonlinear N2 method was used. The results demonstrate the low seismic resistance
of buildings designed for gravity loads only. On the other hand, the advantages of new standards are clearly apparent. By
taking into account the requirements of Eurocode 8 it is possible to ensure adequate strength, stiffness and ductility. By
means of capacity design it is possible to ensure a global plastic mechanism. All these characteristics contribute to the
high seismic resistance of structures designed according to Eurocode 8 and to their satisfactory behaviour during earthquakes. 相似文献

In Europe, computation of displacement demand for seismic assessment of existing buildings is essentially based on a simplified formulation of the N2 method as prescribed by Eurocode 8(EC8). However, a lack of accuracy of the N2 method in certain conditions has been pointed out by several studies. This paper addresses the assessment of effectiveness of the N2 method in seismic displacement demand determination in non-linear domain. The objective of this work is to investigate the accuracy of the N2 method through comparison with displacement demands computed using non-linear timehistory analysis(NLTHA). Results show that the original N2 method may lead to overestimation or underestimation of displacement demand predictions. This may affect results of mechanical model-based assessment of seismic vulnerability at an urban scale. Hence, the second part of this paper addresses an improvement of the N2 method formula by empirical evaluation of NLTHA results based on EC8 ground-classes. This task is formulated as a mathematical programming problem in which coefficients are obtained by minimizing the overall discrepancy between NLTHA and modified formula results. Various settings of the mathematical programming problem have been solved using a global optimization metaheuristic. An extensive comparison between the original N2 method formulation and optimized formulae highlights benefits of the strategy. 相似文献

Several procedures for non-linear static and dynamic analysis of structures have been developed in recent years. This paper
discusses those procedures that have been implemented into the latest European and US seismic provisions: non-linear dynamic
time-history analysis; N2 non-linear static method (Eurocode 8); non-linear static procedure NSP (FEMA 356) and improved capacity
spectrum method CSM (FEMA 440). The presented methods differ in respect to accuracy, simplicity, transparency and clarity
of theoretical background. Non-linear static procedures were developed with the aim of overcoming the insufficiency and limitations
of linear methods, whilst at the same time maintaining a relatively simple application. All procedures incorporate performance-based
concepts paying more attention to damage control. Application of the presented procedures is illustrated by means of an example
of an eight-storey reinforced concrete frame building. The results obtained by non-linear dynamic time-history analysis and
non-linear static procedures are compared. It is concluded that these non-linear static procedures are sustainable for application.
Additionally, this paper discusses a recommendation in the Eurocode 8/1 that the capacity curve should be determined by pushover
analysis for values of the control displacement ranging between zero and 150% of the target displacement. Maximum top displacement
of the analyzed structure obtained by using dynamic method with real time-history records corresponds to 145% of the target
displacement obtained using the non-linear static N2 procedure. 相似文献

This paper aims to shed some further light on the seismic behaviour and design of reinforced concrete (R/C) walls which form part of dual (frame + wall) structures. The significance of post‐elastic dynamic effects is recognized by most seismic codes in the definition of the design action effects on walls, i.e. bending moments and shear forces. However, the resulting envelopes are not always fully satisfactory, particularly in the case of medium‐to‐high‐rise buildings. The relevant provisions of modern seismic codes are first summarized and their limitations discussed. Then an extensive parametric study is presented which involves typical multi‐storey dual systems that include walls with unequal lengths, designed according to the provisions of Eurocode 8 for two different ductility classes (M and H) and two effective peak ground acceleration levels (0.16 and 0.24g). The walls of these structures are also designed according to other methods, such as those used in New Zealand and Greece. The resulting different designs are then assessed by subjecting the structures to a suite of records from strong ground motions, carrying out inelastic time history analysis, and comparing the results with the design action effects. It is found that for (at least) the design earthquake intensity, the first two modes of vibration suffice for describing the seismic response of the walls. The bending moment envelope, as well as the base shear of each wall, is found to be strongly dependent on the second mode effect. As far as the code‐prescribed design action effects are concerned, only the NZ Code was found to be consistently conservative, whereas this was not always the case with EC8. A new method is then proposed which focuses on quantifying in a simple way the second mode effects in the inelastic response of the walls. This procedure seems to work better than the others evaluated herein. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The out-of-plane (OOP) behaviour of masonry infills (MIs), inserted in reinforced concrete (r.c.)–framed buildings, is recognized as one of the most important failure modes of this nonstructural element during an earthquake, which may be a consequence of simultaneous or prior in-plane (IP) damage. A five-element macro-model, with four diagonal OOP non-linear beams and one horizontal IP non-linear truss, with an equivalent mass of the infill panel divided between two central nodes, takes into account the IP and OOP failure modes occurring in the event of seismic loading. Pivot hysteretic models predict the non-linear IP and OOP force-displacement laws of the infill panel, based on geometrical rules defining loading and unloading branches. Firstly, a calibration of the proposed IP-OOP interaction model of MIs is carried out considering full-scale experimental results of traditional masonry typologies. Each specimen is initially subjected to in-plane quasi-static cyclic loading, until a maximum drift is reached, and then one-sided OOP cycles are imposed pushing in the horizontal direction and back to zero force. Then a numerical investigation considers masonry infills of an existing six-storey r.c.-framed building designed in compliance with a former Italian seismic code. To evaluate the interaction, the results of simultaneous IP and OOP cyclic tests on MIs at the top, intermediate, and lowest levels of the test structure are presented, assuming different displacement histories: (1) OOP loading faster than IP, at the sixth storey; (2) equal IP and OOP loading, at the third storey; (3) IP loading faster than OOP, at the first storey. Finally, attention is focused on the contribution of masonry infills to the IP and OOP energy dissipation of r.c.-framed structures. 相似文献

Performance-Based Seismic Design is now widely recognized as the pre-eminent seismic design and assessment methodology for
building structures. In recognition of this, seismic codes may require that buildings achieve multiple performance objectives
such as withstanding moderate, yet frequently occurring earthquakes with minimal structural and non-structural damage, while
withstanding severe, but rare earthquakes without collapse and loss of life. These objectives are presumed to be satisfied
by some codes if the force-based design procedures are followed. This paper investigates the efficacy of the Eurocode 8 force-based
design provisions with respect to RC frame building design and expected seismic performance. Four, eight, and 16-storey moment
frame buildings were designed and analyzed using the code modal response spectrum analysis provisions. Non-linear time-history
analyses were subsequently performed to determine the simulated seismic response of the structures and to validate the Eurocode
8 force-based designs. The results indicate the design of flexural members in medium-to-long period structures is not significantly
influenced by the choice of effective member stiffness; however, calculated interstorey drift demands are significantly affected.
This finding was primarily attributed to the code’s enforcement of a minimum spectral ordinate on the design spectrum. Furthermore,
design storey forces and interstorey drift demand estimates (and therefore damage), obtained by application of the code force-based
design procedure varied substantially from those found through non-linear time-history analysis. Overall, the results suggest
that though the Eurocode 8 may yield life-safe designs, the seismic performance of frame buildings of the same type and ductility
class can be highly non-uniform. 相似文献

This paper explores the notion of detailing reinforced concrete structural walls to develop base and mid‐height plastic hinges to better control the seismic response of tall cantilever wall buildings to strong shaking. This concept, termed here dual‐plastic hinge (DPH) concept, is used to reduce the effects of higher modes of response in high‐rise buildings. Higher modes can significantly increase the flexural demands in tall cantilever wall buildings. Lumped‐mass Euler–Bernoulli cantilevers are used to model the case‐study buildings examined in this paper. Buildings with 10, 20 and 40 stories are designed according to three different approaches: ACI‐318, Eurocode 8 and the proposed DPH concept. The buildings are designed and subjected to three‐specific historical strong near‐fault ground motions. The investigation clearly shows the dual‐hinge design concept is effective at reducing the effects of the second mode of response. An advantage of the concept is that, when combined with capacity design, it can result in relaxation of special reinforcing detailing in large portions of the walls.

The cyclic behaviour of slender cantilever columns in full-scale models of precast industrial buildings, designed by Eurocode
8, was studied experimentally and analytically. The shear span ratio of the columns was 12.5, which is more than allowed by
Eurocode 8 for columns in frame structures (10). High deformability and a large deformation capacity (8%~drift) of the columns
was observed. A lumped plasticity model was used in the analysis. In the paper the observed behaviour of the models has been
compared with the predicted behaviour obtained by several empirically based models and procedures. It was observed that these
models, which were developed for much lower shear span ratios (2–6), were not applicable for the analyzed very slender columns
without appropriate additional considerations and modifications. In the case of such columns the yield drift is dominated
by the flexural mode (it is practically proportional to the height of the column) and the ultimate drift under cyclic loading
conditions is only slightly dependent on the shear span (indicating that the ratio of the equivalent length of the plastic
hinge to the height of the column decreases with the increasing shear span). An appropriately modified lumped plasticity model
incorporating in-cycle and repeated-cycle strength deterioration was chosen for future use in performance-based design and
seismic risk studies. 相似文献

Nonstructural components (NSCs) should be subjected to a careful and rational seismic design, in order to reduce the economic loss and to avoid threats to the life safety, as well as what concerns structural elements. The design of NSCs is based on the evaluation of the maximum inertia force, which is related to the floor spectral accelerations. The question arises as to whether Eurocode 8 is able to predict actual floor response spectral accelerations occurring in structures designed according to Eurocode 8. A parametric study is conducted on five RC frame structures in order to evaluate the floor response spectra. The structures, designed according to Eurocode 8, are subjected to a set of earthquakes, compatible with the design response spectrum. Time-history analyses are performed both on elastic and inelastic models of the considered structures. Eurocode formulation for the evaluation of the seismic demand on NSCs does not well fit the numerical results. Some comments on the target spectrum provided by AC 156 for the seismic qualification of NSC are also included. 相似文献

The quality of construction is one of the main factors that affect the seismic vulnerability of structures. The damage observations of modern buildings after almost all recent earthquakes report cases of poor quality of materials, inadequate detailing of reinforcement and absence of capacity design principles. Looking at the modern codes for seismic design, which rely on high behaviour factor supplies, the assessment of the effects of poor quality of execution in otherwise well‐conceived and well‐designed structures becomes an important problem. This paper presents an experiment‐based estimation of the seismic response of a cast‐in‐situ one‐storey industrial reinforced concrete frame designed according to Eurocodes. The influence of the quality of construction is estimated by consideration of two models of the experimental prototype: a structure erected under strict measures for control of the quality of execution, and a structure erected with normal measures for control of the quality of execution which resulted in significant deficiencies in the practical arrangement of the reinforcement. On the basis of the experimental data the ductility and behaviour factor supplies of the two structures are estimated. Quantitative expressions for the influence of the quality of construction on the first yield displacement, ultimate storey displacement, maximum base‐shear force and behaviour factor supply are provided. Recommendations for the refinement of modern seismic design codes, particularly Eurocode 8, to take into account the quality of construction are given. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

According to the most modern trend, performance‐based seismic design is aimed at the evaluation of the seismic structural reliability defined as the mean annual frequency (MAF) of exceeding a threshold level of damage, i.e. a limit state. The methodology for the evaluation of the MAF of exceeding a limit state is herein applied with reference to concentrically ‘V’‐braced steel frames designed according to different criteria. In particular, two design approaches are examined. The first approach corresponds to the provisions suggested by Eurocode 8 (prEN 1998—Eurocode 8: design of structures for earthquake resistance. Part 1: general rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings), while the second approach is based on a rigorous application of capacity design criteria aiming at the control of the failure mode (J. Earthquake Eng. 2008; 12 :1246–1266; J. Earthquake Eng. 2008; 12 :728–759). The aim of the presented work is to focus on the seismic reliability obtained through these design methodologies. The probabilistic performance evaluation is based on an appropriate combination of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) and probabilistic seismic capacity analysis. Regarding PSDA, nonlinear dynamic analyses have been carried out in order to obtain the parameters describing the probability distribution laws of demand, conditioned to given values of the earthquake intensity measure.

The paper presents the results of a research study concerning the seismic response and design of r/c frames with overstrength
discontinuities in elevation. The discontinuities are obtained assigning overstrengths either to the beams or to the columns
of a “regular frame” (assumed as reference). Two “regular frames” are designed: one according to the Eurocode 8 (EC8) medium
ductility class (DCM) rules and the other one according to the EC8 high ductility class (DCH) rules. For all frames the criteria
of vertical strength irregularity of many international seismic codes are applied. Non linear static and dynamic analyses
are performed; mechanical non linearity is concentrated at the element ends. These analyses are carried out according to EC8
provisions: for non linear static analysis the N2 method is applied; in the case of non linear time-history analyses, seven
real earthquakes, selected in order to fit on average the elastic design spectrum, are used as input. The seismic response
of frames characterised by the assigned overstrength is not very different with respect to the “regular frame” one; furthermore
all the frames satisfy the Ultimate Limit State, verified by the application of non linear static and dynamic analyses. This
demonstrates that the sensitivity of frames, designed according to EC8 medium and high ductility classes, to overstrength
vertical variations is low. Consequently, international code provisions on vertical strength regularity should be reviewed. 相似文献

In the presented practice‐oriented probabilistic approach for the seismic performance assessment of building structures, the SAC‐FEMA method, which is a part of the broader PEER probabilistic framework and permits probability assessment in closed form, is combined with the pushover‐based N2 method. The most demanding part of the PEER probabilistic framework, that is incremental dynamic analysis, is replaced by the much simpler N2 method, which requires considerably less input data and much less computational time, but which can, nevertheless, often provide: acceptable estimates for the mean values of the structural response. Using some additional simplifying assumptions that are consistent with seismic code procedures, an explicit equation for a quick estimation of the annual probability of “failure” (i.e. the probability of exceeding the near collapse limit state) of a structure can be derived, which is appropriate for practical applications, provided that predetermined default values for the dispersion measures are available. In the paper, this simplified approach is summarized and applied to the estimation of the “failure” probability of reinforced concrete frame buildings representing both old structures, not designed for earthquake resistance, and new structures designed according to Eurocode 8. The results of the analyses indicate a high probability of the “failure” of buildings, which have not been designed for seismic loads. For a building designed according to a modern code, the conservatively determined probability of “failure” is about 30 times less but still significant (about 1% over the lifetime of the structure).

The paper deals with the topic of analyses performed according to modern code provisions, in particular Eurocode 8 (EC8) rules. Non linear static and non linear dynamic analyses of a plan irregular multi-storey r/c frame building designed according to Eurocode 2 (EC2) and EC8 provisions are carried out.The extension of the N2 method to torsionally flexible structures, as applied in previous papers, does not consider the accidental eccentricity, which is prescribed by EC8 also in the case of non linear static analysis. In this paper, three methods combining the accidental eccentricity prescribed by EC8 to the procedure which extends the N2 method to torsionally flexible structures are proposed and discussed. Each of them provides four modal response spectrum analyses (one for each model, corresponding to each position of centre of mass) and eight non linear static analyses (two signs for four models). NLSA(meth. n.2) seems to be the more reliable method of the three proposed, because it better fits absolute displacements obtained by non linear dynamic analysis.In the paper it is also observed that the value of the behaviour factor assigned by EC8 to torsionally flexible systems seems too conservative. 相似文献
