Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are commonly used as the lateral‐load resisting system in buildings. SCBFs primarily sustain large deformation demands through inelastic action in the brace, including compression buckling and tension yielding; secondary yielding may occur in the gusset plate and framing elements. The preferred failure mode is brace fracture. Yielding, buckling, and fracture behavior results in highly nonlinear behavior and accurate analytical modeling of these frames is required. Prior research has shown that continuum models are capable of this level of simulation. However, those models are not suitable for structural engineering practice. To enable the use of accurate yet practical nonlinear models, a research study was undertaken to investigate modeling parameters for line‐element models, which is a more practical modeling approach. This portion of the study focused on methods to predict brace fracture. A fracture modeling approach simulated the nonlinear, cyclic response of SCBFs by correlating onset of fracture to the maximum strain range in the brace. The model accounts for important brace design parameters including slenderness, compactness, and yield strength. Fracture data from over 40 tests was used to calibrate the model and included single‐brace component, single story frame, and full‐scale multistory frame specimens. The proposed fracture model is more accurate and simpler than other, previously proposed models. As a result, the proposed model is an ideal candidate for practical performance simulation of SCBFs.

Using centrifuge tests data to identify the dynamic soil properties: Application to Fontainebleau sand     

《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2013

Knowledge of the dynamic properties of the soil is of great importance as the dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio are necessary input data in finite element modeling programs. This paper presents a post-processing strategy to identify the shear modulus and damping ratio vs. shear strain curves using the experimental results of a dynamic centrifuge program. Application is presented for the Fontainebleau sand. The proposed methodology is fast, robust and able to capture the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the material. Based on the results, specific parameters for the Fontainebleau sand are identified for the empirical equation of shear modulus and damping ratio proposed by Ishibashi and Zhang [1]. It is found that confining pressure has an important influence on both shear modulus evolution and damping ratio.  相似文献   

两种不同求和路径的叠前时间偏移方法     

马婷  周学明 《物探与化探》2012,(2):321-324

介绍了等效偏移距偏移和非成像炮集偏移的基本原理,二者都是用一个新的偏移距变量代替常规的偏移距,然后对以新的偏移距变量定义的旅行时双曲线进行动校正和叠加,从而实现叠前时间偏移。叠前时间偏移是对双平方根方程定义的旅行时曲面的绕射求和,而这两种方法的区别就在于其在该曲面上定义的求和路径不同。在金属矿勘探中,金属矿脉由于其成因受构造剧烈运动等因素的影响,往往倾角陡,规模小,大多呈非水平层分布,而这两种方法可以为金属矿成像提供较好的成像方法。  相似文献
