Study on seismic performance of a super‐tall steel–concrete hybrid structure

Many steel–concrete hybrid buildings have been built in China. The seismic performance of such hybrid system is much more complicated than that of steel structure or reinforced concrete (RC) structure. A steel–concrete hybrid frame‐tube super‐tall building structure with new type of shear walls to be built in a district of seismic intensity 8 in China was studied for its structural complexity and irregularity. Both model test and numerical simulation were applied to obtain the detailed knowledge of seismic performance for this structure. First, a 1/30 scaled model structure was tested on the shaking table under different levels of earthquakes. The failure process and mechanism of the model structure are presented here. Nonlinear time‐history analysis of the prototype structure was then conducted by using the software PERFORM‐3D. The dynamic characteristics, inter‐story drift ratios and energy dissipation conditions are introduced. On the basis of the comparison between the deformation demand and capacity of main structural components at individual performance level under different earthquake level, the seismic performance at the member level was also evaluated. Despite the structural complexity and code‐exceeding height, both experimental and analytical results indicate that the overall seismic performance of the structure meet the requirements of the Chinese design code.

Performance‐based seismic design of an irregular tall building in Istanbul

Structural design of a 50‐story tall reinforced concrete residential building, which was planned to be constructed in Istanbul and given up afterwards by the investor, has been completed in accordance with the draft version of Seismic Design Code for Tall Buildings in Istanbul that adopts performance‐based seismic design as the basic approach as Tall Buildings Initiative Guidelines do. Seismic design of the building has formed the main part of the structural design process due to high seismicity of the proposed location and extremely irregular floor plan not conforming to usual tall building structures. The building consists of two individual buildings linked through sky floors at the top 12 stories whose design was one of the most challenging works. The building has been designed for design basis earthquake by elastic response spectrum analysis, and its seismic performance has been checked for maximum considered earthquake by nonlinear time‐history analyses carried out using PERFORM‐3D.

代码翻译中PERFORM和GOTO语句复合结构的变换

传统语言COBOL从诞生至今已有近50年历史,现存约有1 000亿行代码是用COBOL编写的.维护这些遗产代码的一个有效方法是将其翻译成现代语言,例如Java.其中将COBOL语言中GOTO和PERFORM语句及其复合控制结构消除是翻译过程中的一个关键步骤.提出一种利用switch,while语句来消除GOTO和PERFORM复合控制结构的方法,实现了程序的等价变换.该方法不改变程序的控制结构,保持其可读性,并将代码膨胀率控制到2倍左右.该方法已在所开发的"C2J翻译系统"中进行应用,通过了400万行实际商用程序的测试,结果证明,该方法是正确、有效的.     

基于性能化设计的超高层钢筋混凝土结构弹塑性时程分析

结构抗震性能化设计已在我国“超限高层建筑工程”的抗震设计中得到广泛应用,其中弹塑性时程分析方法是实现抗震性能化设计的主要途径。结合工程实例,利用PERFORM-3 D软件建立了某超高层钢筋混凝土结构的弹塑性模型。基于ATC-40,FEMA-356规范,结合我国规范定义的性能目标,对关键构件和耗能构件的抗震性能进行了评估,得到整体结构响应、构件的变形及结构能量耗散情况,可用于研究按我国现行规范设计的超高层混凝土结构在罕遇地震作用下的受力特点。
