In recent years, several research groups have studied a new generation of analysis methods for seismic response assessment of existing buildings. Nevertheless, many important developments are still needed in order to define more reliable and effective assessment procedures. Moreover, regarding existing buildings, it should be highlighted that due to the low knowledge level, the linear elastic analysis is the only analysis method allowed. The same codes (such as NTC2008, EC8) consider the linear dynamic analysis with behavior factor as the reference method for the evaluation of seismic demand. This type of analysis is based on a linear-elastic structural model subject to a design spectrum, obtained by reducing the elastic spectrum through a behavior factor. The behavior factor (reduction factor or q factor in some codes) is used to reduce the elastic spectrum ordinate or the forces obtained from a linear analysis in order to take into account the non-linear structural capacities. The behavior factors should be defined based on several parameters that influence the seismic nonlinear capacity, such as mechanical materials characteristics, structural system, irregularity and design procedures. In practical applications, there is still an evident lack of detailed rules and accurate behavior factor values adequate for existing buildings. In this work, some investigations of the seismic capacity of the main existing RC-MRF building types have been carried out. In order to make a correct evaluation of the seismic force demand, actual behavior factor values coherent with force based seismic safety assessment procedure have been proposed and compared with the values reported in the Italian seismic code, NTC08. 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

Use of the conditional spectrum to incorporate record‐to‐record variability in simplified seismic assessment of RC wall buildings 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 A procedure for incorporating record‐to‐record variability into the simplified seismic assessment of RC wall buildings is presented. The procedure relies on the use of the conditional spectrum to randomly sample spectral ordinates at relevant periods of vibration. For inelastic response, displacement reduction factors are then used to relate inelastic displacement demand to the spectral displacement at the effective period for single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems. Simple equations are used to convert back and forth between multi‐degree‐of‐freedom RC wall buildings and equivalent single‐degree‐of‐systems so that relevant engineering demand parameters can be obtained. Consideration is also given to higher‐mode effects by adapting existing modal combination rules. The proposed method is applied to several case study buildings, showing promising results in the examination of inter‐storey drift ratio and shear forces. The proposed method captures the variation in the distribution of structural response parameters that occurs with variations in structural configuration, intensity, engineering demand parameter of interest and site characteristics. Discussion is provided on possible ways to improve the accuracy of the procedure and suggestions for additional future work. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The application of some design and assessment approaches, such as the direct displacement-based design (DDBD) and the capacity spectrum methods, requires the modification of elastic design spectra by some displacement reduction factor, to account for the appropriate energy dissipation capacity of different structures. While several equations to correlate dissipation and hysteresis cycles are available, once the displacement reduction factor has been obtained, the correction of the spectra is operated reducing the displacement demand accordingly and conserving the period of vibration at each point. This procedure is here discussed and proved to be conceptually inappropriate, because the spectral acceleration rather than the period should be kept at each point. The application of this alternative procedure may result in increased shear strength demand in design and in larger required displacement capacity for the same level of strength in assessment, if all other factors are not modified. However, the calibration of the reduction factors applied in DDBD has been extensive, and the method has proved to be effective in predicting displacement demands consistent with those resulting from refined nonlinear time history analysis; therefore, a possible introduction of the proposed correction will require equally extensive studies and possibly compensating corrections in the calculation of the equivalent damping. On the contrary, an appropriate calibration of the factors to be used in the application of the “capacity spectrum” method is still being developed, and the consideration of a constant acceleration may facilitate the derivation of effective equations. 相似文献

High force‐to‐volume extrusion damping devices can offer significant energy dissipation directly in structural connections and significantly reduce seismic response. Realistic force levels up to 400 kN have been obtained experimentally validating this overall concept. This paper develops spectral‐based design equations for their application. Response spectra analysis for multiple, probabilistically scaled earthquake suites are used to delineate the response reductions due to added extrusion damping. Representative statistics and damping reduction factors are utilized to characterize the modified response in a form suitable for current performance‐based design methods. Multiple equation regression analysis is used to characterize reduction factors in the constant acceleration, constant velocity, and constant displacement regions of the response spectra. With peak device forces of 10% of structural weight, peak damping reduction factors in the constant displacement region of the spectra are approximately 6.5 ×, 4.0 ×, and 2.8 × for the low, medium, and high suites, respectively. At T = 1 s, these values are approximately 3.6 ×, 1.8 ×, and 1.4 ×, respectively. The maximum systematic bias introduced by using empirical equations to approximate damping reduction factors in design analyses is within the range of +10 to ?20%. The seismic demand spectrum approach is shown to be conservative across a majority of the spectrum, except for large added damping between T = 0.8 and 3.5 s, where it slightly underestimates the demand up to a maximum of approximately 10%. Overall, the analysis shows that these devices have significant potential to reduce seismic response and damage at validated prototype device force levels.

Seismic hazard levels lower than those for design of new buildings have been permitted for seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings due to the relatively short remaining lifespans. The seismic hazard reduction enables costeffective seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings with limited structural capacity. The current study proposes seismic hazard reduction factors for Korea, one of low to moderate seismicity regions. The seismic hazard reduction factors are based on equal probabilities of non-exceedance within different remaining building lifespans. A validation procedure is proposed to investigate equality of seismic risk in terms of ductility-based limit states using seismic fragility assessment of nonlinear SDOF systems, of which retrofit demands are determined by the displacement coefficient method of ASCE 41-13 for different target remaining building lifespans and corresponding reduced design earthquakes. Validation result shows that the use of seismic hazard reduction factors can be permitted in conjunction with appropriate lower bounds of the remaining building lifespans. 相似文献

Coupling adjacent buildings using discrete viscoelastic dampers for control of response to low and moderate seismic events is investigated in this paper. The complex modal superposition method is first used to determine dynamic characteristics, mainly modal damping ratio and modal frequency, of damper-linked linear adjacent buildings for practical use. Random seismic response of linear adjacent buildings linked by dampers is then determined by a combination of the complex modal superposition method and the pseudo-excitation method. This combined method can effectively and accurately determine random seismic response of non-classically damped systems in the frequency domain. Parametric studies are finally performed to identify optimal parameters of viscoelastic dampers for achieving the maximum modal damping ratio or the maximum response reduction of adjacent buildings. It is demonstrated that using discrete viscoelastic dampers of proper parameters to link adjacent buildings can reduce random seismic responses significantly.

Non-linear seismic behavior of structures with limited hysteretic energy dissipation capacity 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Pierino Lestuzzi Youssef Belmouden Martin Trueb 《Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering》2007,5(4):549-569
This paper investigates the non-linear seismic behavior of structures such as slender unreinforced masonry shear walls or
precast post-tensioned reinforced concrete elements, which have little hysteretic energy dissipation capacity. Even if this
type of seismic response may be associated with significant deformation capacity, it is usually not considered as an efficient
mechanism to withstand strong earthquakes. The objective of the investigations is to propose values of strength reduction
factors for seismic analysis of such structures. The first part of the study is focused on non-linear single-degree-of-freedom
(SDOF) systems. A parametric study is performed by computing the displacement ductility demand of non-linear SDOF systems
for a set of 164 recorded ground motions selected from the European Strong Motion Database. The parameters investigated are
the natural frequency, the strength reduction factor, the post-yield stiffness ratio, the hysteretic energy dissipation capacity
and the hysteretic behavior model (four different hysteretic models: bilinear self-centring, with limited or without energy
dissipation capacity, modified Takeda and Elastoplastic). Results confirm that the natural frequency has little influence
on the displacement ductility demand if it is below a frequency limit and vice versa. The frequency limit is found to be around
2 Hz for all hysteretic models. Moreover, they show that the other parameters, especially the hysteretic behavior model, have
little influence on the displacement ductility demand. New relationships between the displacement ductility demand and the
strength reduction factor for structures having little hysteretic energy dissipation capacity are proposed. These relationships
are an improvement of the equal displacement rule for the considered hysteretic models. In the second part of the investigation,
the parametric study is extended to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. The investigation shows that the results obtained
for SDOF systems are also valid for MDOF systems. However, the SDOF system overestimates the displacement ductility demand
in comparison to the corresponding MDOF system by approximately 15%. 相似文献

High-damping response spectra are essential tools for the assessment and design methods based on the equivalent elastic structure
concept. They are also often used for the analysis and design of structures with seismic isolation or energy dissipation systems.
Many formulations of the reduction factors have been proposed and included in seismic codes to estimate high-damping response
spectra from their 5% damping representation. They are reviewed in the present paper. The accuracy of each of them in estimating
the maximum elastic response of structures with viscous damping ratios greater than 5% is assessed by comparing exact and
approximate displacement response spectra for three different damping levels, namely 10, 20 and 30%, respectively. The comparison
is referred to more than 120 ground motion records, relevant to earthquakes with magnitude between 6 and 8, epicentral distance
ranging from 1 to 100 km and Peak Ground Accelerations (PGA’s) greater than 0.1 g. The comparison between exact and approximate
response spectra is carried out for both single earthquakes and groups of earthquakes with similar magnitude and epicentral
distance. The drawbacks of using the same damping reduction factor to estimate both maximum displacement response and design
seismic forces are also addressed. 相似文献

Seismic response of sliding equipment and contents in base‐isolated buildings subjected to broadband ground motions 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Base isolation has been established as the seismic design approach of choice when it comes to protecting nonstructural contents. However, while this protection technology has been widely shown to reduce seismic demands on attached oscillatory equipment and contents (EC), its effectiveness in controlling the response of freestanding EC that are prone to sliding has not been investigated. This study examines the seismic behavior of sliding EC inside base‐isolated buildings subjected to broadband ground motions. The effect of isolation system properties on the response of sliding EC with various friction coefficients is examined. Two widely used isolation models are considered: viscously damped linear elastic and bilinear. The study finds isolation to be generally effective in reducing seismic demands on sliding EC, but it also exposes certain situations where isolation in fact increases demands on EC, most notably for low friction coefficients and high earthquake intensities. Damping at the isolation level is effective in controlling the EC sliding displacements, although damping over about 20% is found to be superfluous. The study identifies a physically motivated dimensionless intensity measure and engineering demand parameter for sliding equipment in base‐isolated buildings subjected to broadband ground motions. Finally, the paper presents easy‐to‐use design fragility curves and an example that illustrates how to use them. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A two‐step direct method for estimating the seismic response of nonlinear structures equipped with nonlinear viscous dampers 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 The insertion of fluid viscous dampers in building structures is an innovative technology that can improve significantly the seismic response. These devices could be very useful also in the retrofit of existing buildings. The effect of this typology of damping system is usually identified with an equivalent supplemental damping ratio, which depends on the maximum displacement of the structure, so that iterative procedures are required. In this paper, a simplified direct assessment method for nonlinear structures equipped with nonlinear fluid viscous dampers is proposed. The method proposed in this study is composed by two steps. The first one yields the direct estimate of the supplemental damping ratio provided by nonlinear viscous dampers in presence of a linear elastic structural response. The second step extends the procedure to structures with nonlinear behavior. Both graphical and analytical approaches have been developed. The proposed method has then been verified through several applications and comparisons with nonlinear dynamic analyses. Moreover, an investigation has been performed with regard to the influence of the relations that define the damping reduction factor and the hysteretic damping.

A method for seismic design of plane steel moment resisting frames based on the use of equivalent modal damping ratios is developed. The method determines the design base shear of the structure through spectrum analysis using rationally obtained equivalent modal damping ratios instead of the crude strength reduction (behavior) factor. An equivalent linear structure, which retains the mass and initial stiffness of the original non-linear structure and takes into account geometrical non-linearity and inelasticity in the form of equivalent, time-invariant, modal damping ratios is established. The equivalent damping ratios for the first few significant modes are numerically computed by first iteratively forming a frequency response transfer function modulus until it satisfies certain smoothness criteria and then by solving a set of non-linear algebraic equations. Thus, design equations providing equivalent damping ratios as functions of period and allowable deformation and damage are constructed using extensive numerical data coming from plane steel moment resisting frames excited by various seismic motions. These equations can be used in conjunction with a design spectrum, appropriately constructed for high damping values, and modal synthesis tools to calculate the seismic design forces of the structure. The proposed method is illustrated by numerical examples. It is concluded that unlike the usual approach of seismic codes employing a single common value of the strength reduction factor value for all modes, the proposed approach working with deformation and damage dependent equivalent modal damping ratios leads to more accurate and deformation and damage controlled results. 相似文献

Ground-Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) for inelastic displacement and ductility demands of constant-strength SDOF systems 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The objective of this paper is to present ground-motion prediction equations for ductility demand and inelastic spectral displacement
of constant-strength perfectly elasto-plastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators. Empirical equations have been developed
to compute the ductility demand as a function of two earthquake parameters; moment magnitude, and source-to-site distance;
one site parameter, the ground type; and three oscillator parameters, an undamped natural period, critical damping ratio,
and the mass-normalized yield strength. In addition, a comparative study of the proposed model with selected previous studies
and recommendations of Eurocode 8 is presented. Proposed equations can easily be incorporated in existing probabilistic seismic
hazard analysis (PSHA) software packages with the introduction of an additional parameter. This leads to hazard curves for
inelastic spectral displacement, which can provide better estimates of target displacement for nonlinear static procedures
and an efficient intensity measure for probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA). Proposed equations will be useful in
performance evaluation of existing structures. 相似文献

In this paper, different methods for generating synthetic earthquakes are compared in terms of related non-linear seismic
response of ductile structures. The objective of the investigation is to formulate recommendations for the use of synthetic
earthquakes for reliable seismic analysis. The comparison is focused on the accuracy of the reproduction of the characteristics
of the structural non-linear response due to recorded earthquakes. First the investigations are carried out for non-linear
single-degree-of-freedom systems. Later, the results are validated for a set of realistic buildings modelled as multi-degree-of-freedom
systems. Various options of the classical stationary simulation procedure of SIMQKE and a non-stationary simulation procedure
proposed by Sabetta and Pugliese are examined and compared. The adopted methodology uses a set of recorded earthquakes as
a reference. Hundred synthetic accelerograms are generated for each examined simulation option with the condition that the
related elastic responses are similar to those of the reference set. The non-linear single-degree-of-freedom systems are defined
using six recognized hysteretic models and four levels of increasing non-linearity. The non-linear responses computed for
the reference set and the studied simulation options are then statistically compared in terms of displacement ductility and
energy. The results show that the implementation of the classical stationary procedure always leads to a significant underestimation
of the ductility demand and a significant overestimation of the energy demand. By contrast, non-stationary time histories
produce much better results. The results with the multi-degree-of-freedom systems are shown to confirm these conclusions. 相似文献

The effects of the foundation compliance on the dynamic response of yielding systems are evaluated using rigorous dimensional
analysis. To this end, a soil-foundation-structure system is subjected to strong ground motion and its seismic response is
determined in terms of dimensionless parameters. The seismic demand of the system is calculated as a function of meaningful
engineering parameters, such as the yielding acceleration and yielding displacement of the structure, the system mass and
damping, as well as the dynamic characteristics of the foundation. It is proved that the seismic demand is strongly dependent
on the foundation to excitation pulse predominant frequency ratio. For large values of yielding acceleration, the demand depends
strongly on the yielding displacement and the mass. Moreover, there is a strength range where an increase in strength results
in an increase in displacements—a counter intuitive situation. The larger the yielding displacement, the larger the seismic
demand. Furthermore, the larger the foundation soil mass, the larger the seismic demand. Finally, an application of the procedure
on an actual structure proves that soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) is not always beneficial for the structure. 相似文献

Direct displacement-based design for seismic retrofit of existing buildings using nonlinear viscous dampers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This paper presents a direct displacement-based design procedure for seismic retrofit of existing buildings using nonlinear
viscous dampers according to equivalent linear systems. Unlike conventional methods, the equivalent linear viscous damping
provided by the nonlinear viscous dampers is derived based on the assumption that the average energy dissipated between the
linear and the nonlinear viscous dampers is equal. Also, the equivalent period and viscous damping for the equivalent linear
systems which are used for representing the behavior of bare frames (the buildings without dampers) are derived from the concept
of average storage energy and average dissipated energy, respectively. It is shown from nonlinear time-history analyses that
the nonlinear action of the retrofitted structures can be reasonably captured by the presented direct displacement-based procedure. 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
