竖向地震作用对高耸烟囱结构动力响应有不可忽略的影响。选用240m高的某钢筋混凝土烟囱作为研究对象,考虑结构损伤,通过有限元软件ABAQUS,采用复合壳单元建立相应的非线性有限元分析模型。为考虑地震动的不确定性,根据谱相容性原则,选择20条合理地震动记录,进行增量动力分析。输入的地震动分别为一维、二维、三维。分别以材料应变和地面峰值加速度作为结构地震需求参数和地震动强度参数,结合增量动力分析获得的结构地震响应,采用能力需求比模型的曲线拟合法计算易损性曲线。通过钢筋和混凝土的材料应变定义四个损伤状态限值,最终得到在不同维数地震动输入时高耸钢筋混凝土烟囱结构的地震易损性曲线和倒塌概率曲线。研究结果表明,考虑多维地震作用比只考虑一维地震作用时高耸烟囱的结构易损性和倒塌概率增大。     

地震动持时对RC框架结构易损性与抗震性能影响

作为地震动三要素之一,地震动持时对结构地震易损性的影响有待深入研究。为此,选择分别具有长、短持时特性的两组地震动记录作为输入,以按我国现行规范设计的3个不同高度钢筋混凝土框架结构作为研究对象,采用OpenSees软件,对比分析了不同持时特性地震动作用下钢筋混凝土框架结构的地震易损性,并进一步从失效概率、易损性指数和性能裕度比等3个方面讨论了持时对结构抗震性能的影响。分析结果表明：地震动持时特性对结构地震易损性的影响不容忽视;随着地震动强度和结构损伤水平的增加,地震动持时对地震易损性的影响越发显著;相较于短持时地震动,长持时地震动会使易损性中位值下降超过10%;地震动持时越长,其对结构抗震性能的不利影响也越明显;长持时地震动使结构失效概率增加50%以上,同时提高易损性指数,降低性能裕度比。     

Seismic fragility assessment of a tall reinforced concrete chimney

In China, a considerable proportion of reinforced concrete (RC) industrial chimneys in operation was designed and constructed in accordance with less rigorous outdated seismic criteria during the end of 19th and early 20th century. However, few research works have been reported till date on a realistic overall assessment of the seismic performance of these existing aging RC chimney structures. Therefore, in this study, fragilities of existing RC chimney were studied. For this purpose, an existing 240 m tall RC chimney was selected and structurally modeled with a lumped mass beam (stick) model by means of the OpenSees analysis program. In order to capture the uncertainties in ground motion realizations, a series of 21 ground motions are selected from the Next Generation Attenuation database as the input motions. To develop the analytical fragility curves, nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis of the studied RC chimney was then carried out using the selected input motions, which were normalized to different excitation levels. The section curvature ductility ratio was considered as the damage index. Based on material strain and sectional analysis, four limit states (LSs) were defined for five damage state. The seismic responses of the all sections were utilized to evaluate the likelihood of exceeding the LSs. Then the peak ground acceleration (PGA)‐based seismic fragility curves of the structure were constructed assuming a lognormal distribution. Finally, under the light of these fragility curves, the damage risks in existing RC chimney were discussed. The analytical results indicated that for design level earthquake of PGA = 0.1 g (g is the gravitational acceleration) and the maximum considered earthquake of PGA = 0.22 g, the probabilities of exceeding the light damage state were around 1.5% and 44%, respectively, while the exceedance probabilities corresponding to moderate, extensive and complete damage states were approximately zero in both cases. On the other hand, fragility analysis revealed that the RC chimney structure had considerable ductility capacity and was capable to withstand a strong earthquake with some structural damages.

不同弯矩增大系数钢筋混凝土框架结构地震易损性分析

设计3个不同柱端弯矩增大系数的钢筋混凝土框架结构模型,考虑结构材料、荷载及地震动参数的随机性,分别对其进行随机增量动力分析（IDA）,以地震峰值加速度（a _pg）作为地震动强度指标,结构的顶点最大位移角θ_max作为结构的反应参数,得到各结构模型的IDA曲线。在IDA分析的基础上,对各结构模型进行地震需求概率分析,通过定义4个抗震性能水平,对各模型进行随机pushover分析,确定各性能水平的限值,分别对各结构模型进行易损性分析,得出各结构的地震易损性曲线。计算分析结果表明：弯矩增大系数的取值对结构的易损性有一定的影响,其取值越大时,结构在地震作用下倒塌的概率越小;在一定的范围内(0.2g≤a _pg≤1.0g),当结构的塑性程度发展越大时,提高弯矩增大系数对结构抗震性能的贡献越明显;建议规范修订时可适当增加柱端弯矩增大系数的取值。     

考虑碰撞效应的相邻框架结构地震易损性分析

针对间距不足和高度不等的相邻钢筋混凝土框架结构,设置考虑碰撞刚度和阻尼非线性的碰撞单元,通过对三维非线性有限元模型的时程分析研究地震碰撞效应,并开展增量动力分析,分别以所有层和碰撞层最大层间位移角为工程需求参数,提出考虑碰撞效应的地震易损性分析方法。以6层和4层、6层和5层、6层和3层相邻钢筋混凝土框架结构为例,对比分析不同周期比下考虑与不考虑碰撞效应的相邻结构地震易损性曲线。结果表明：对于6层和4层相邻结构,考虑碰撞效应后,6层结构所有层的最大层间位移角对应的失效概率略有减小,4层结构的反之,而较低结构的碰撞层及较高结构的碰撞层以上层的最大层间位移角对应的失效概率明显增大,即碰撞效应对结构整体响应影响不明显,而对局部响应影响显著;6层和5层、6层和3层相邻结构地震易损性曲线具有类似规律,且相邻结构自振周期越接近,碰撞对结构地震易损性影响越小。     

考虑结构不确定性的地震倒塌易损性分析

传统的地震倒塌易损性分析中通常只考虑地震动不确定性的影响。在结构临近倒塌时,通常处于高度非线性状态,会出现结构不确定性与地震动不确定性的耦合放大现象。针对这一问题,将平均值一次二阶矩方法（MVFOSM）与逐步增量动力分析（IDA）相结合,提出了一种可以考虑结构不确定性的基于MVFOSM的随机IDA方法。以五层三跨钢筋混凝土框架结构为例,采用基于MVFOSM的随机IDA方法对其进行了地震倒塌易损性分析,并利用“龙卷风图”方法对结构抗地震倒塌能力的灵敏度进行了分析。研究表明：结构不确定性的存在使得结构抗地震倒塌能力的对数标准差增加了70%,因此有必要在地震倒塌易损性分析中考虑结构不确定性的影响。     

Seismic collapse analysis of high‐rise reinforced concrete frames under long‐period ground motions

Structural damages associated with buckling of longitudinal reinforcing steel and crushing of concrete induce strength and stiffness degradation in reinforced concrete (RC) beams and columns. This paper presents a numerical investigation on earthquake‐induced damages and collapse of typical high‐rise RC buildings model incorporating strength degradation (SD) effects. In a simple finite‐element analysis program with the generalized stress fiber discretization, hysteretic constitutive models primarily dominate the inelastic behavior. Buckling of reinforcing steel and crushing of confined concrete are taken into accounted to the stress–strain relationship of fiber elements. The SD effect in components with small hoop ratio tends to amplify the seismic responses high‐rise RC moment‐resisting frames when the intensity of ground motions exceeds the design level. Buckling of steel rebar and crushing of concrete should be fully considered together with the P‐Δ effect for collapse simulations.     

Seismic performance and cost‐effectiveness of high‐rise buildings with increasing concrete strength

The relationship between the seismic performance and economics of high‐rise buildings when designed to different material strengths is investigated in this paper. To represent the modern high‐rise construction, five 60‐story reinforced concrete buildings with varying concrete strengths, ranging from 45 MPa to 110 MPa, are designed and detailed to fine accuracy keeping almost equal periods of vibration. Detailed fiber‐based simulation models are developed to assess the relative seismic performance of the reference structures using incremental dynamic analyses and fragility functions. It is concluded that a considerable saving in construction cost and gain in useable area are attained with increasing concrete strength. The safety margins of high‐strength concrete in tall structures may exceed those of normal‐strength concrete buildings, particularly at high ground motion intensity levels. The recommendations of this systematic study may help designers to arrive at cost‐effective designs for high‐rise buildings in earthquake‐prone regions without jeopardizing safety at different performance levels.

Seismic fragility analysis of concrete encased frame‐reinforced concrete core tube hybrid structure based on quasi‐static cyclic test

Concrete‐encased frame‐core tube hybrid structural system has been widely employed in high‐rise buildings. This paper intends to analyze the seismic fragility of this structural system under ground motion excitation. The quasistatic cyclic test on a 1/5‐scaled, 10‐story three‐bay specimen is introduced. Fiber‐based finite element model is developed and integrated with numerical techniques that would be able to simulate the nonlinear response based on the OpenSees program. As the model is verified by the experimental data, a series of incremental dynamic analyses (IDAs) considering different frame‐tube stiffness ratios are carried out. IDA curves are drawn to describe each structural performance state. Fragility curves and probabilistic demand models are proposed for quantifying failure probability. The collapse margin ratio is employed to evaluate the collapse probability. The result shows that the collapse probability under rare earthquake still meets the requirement of Applied Technology Committee‐63 Report. The hybrid structure is proved to perform superior collapse resistance ability. The proper increase in the stiffness of core tube can reduce the collapse probability and enhance the collapse resistance capacity.

Fragility assessment of high‐rise reinforced concrete buildings considering the effects of shear wall contributions

The effect of shear wall configurations on seismic responses of high‐rise RC buildings is investigated in this paper using fragility analysis method. Four lower high‐rise RC buildings that have the same plan dimensions and height but are different in configurations in lateral force resisting systems, were firstly designed following the standard code procedure. To consider uncertainties in earthquake motions, 16 real ground motion pairs were selected and scaled, then applied orthogonally to the four RC building models during the Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA). Fragility relationships were therefore derived based on the IDA results for the three limit states including slight damage, moderate damage and collapse to show the probabilistic comparison of seismic responses among the four buildings in both x and y‐directions. It was observed that generally adding shear walls will improve buildings' seismic performance at all limit states. However, shear wall configuration also plays a significant role in seismic behavior of the lower high‐rise regular RC buildings' and internal shear walls are generally more effective than external shear walls in improving building's seismic resistance.

抗震性能分析能够有效估计结构在地震作用下的危险性,逐渐成为抗震安全性评价的重要方法,但由于结构的复杂性,该方法在面板堆石坝方面的应用还处于起步阶段。随着强震区大量高面板堆石坝的建设,这些高坝的安全性是必须要考虑的重大问题,因此对大坝进行抗震性能分析至关重要。增量动力分析(IDA)法作为一种抗震性能分析方法,能够全面、深入地分析在不同强度地震作用下结构性能的变化。将IDA法引入到高面板堆石坝安全评价领域,建立了高面板堆石坝地震破坏性能评价方法。根据场地条件选取了15条不同的强震动记录,以地震峰值加速度PGA为地震动参数,采用坝体地震震后变形、坝坡稳定性、面板防渗体安全为抗震性能评价指标,选取合适的性能参数,建议了高面板堆石坝各评价指标的破坏等级划分标准,通过大量非线性有限元计算,得到各性能参数的地震易损性曲线,分析了大坝在不同强度地震作用下发生破坏的概率,成果可为高面板堆石坝抗震性能设计和安全风险评估提供参考和依据。     

An area‐based intensity measure for incremental dynamic analysis under two‐dimensional ground motion input

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a useful method in performance‐based earthquake engineering. IDA curves combine the intensity measure (IM) of ground motions with structural responses (as measured by engineering demand parameter) from nonlinear dynamic analysis. However, the curves display large record‐to‐record variability. And various IMs can lead to different results. Therefore, it is important to find a desirable IM to reduce the discreteness of the IDA results. So far, the studies on IM for IDA have been carried out by many scholars from scalar‐valued to vector‐valued, but few were based on 2‐dimensional ground motion input. To make the analysis more reasonable and practical as well as investigate the desirable IM under 2‐dimensional ground motion input, incremental dynamic analyses when ground motions are inputted in 2 directions should be investigated. In this paper, 2 combinational types of area‐based IM incorporating the influence of ground motion record components in secondary directions were proposed. To investigate the applicability, efficiency and desirable combinational form of the area‐based IM under 2‐dimensional ground motion input, incremental dynamic analysis were carried out using 2 reinforced concrete frames. Then the efficiency of the IMs was measured by the residual sum of squares and R². It is concluded that the area‐based IM with a combination by the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) method is the most efficient for IDA under 2‐dimensional ground motion input. The methods and conclusions will provide significant reference for studying IMs under 2‐dimensional ground motion input. Further research will focus on the applicability of the area‐based IM for tall buildings whose higher modes need to be considered.     

Seismic fragility curves for mid-rise reinforced concrete frames in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This article is concerned with the development of seismic fragility curves for typical mid-rise plane reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which is considered as low-seismicity area. Two structural models; four- and eight-storey moment-resisting frames were considered. Three cities with different seismic intensities, Abha, Jazan and Al-Sharaf, were selected to cover various values of mapped spectral accelerations in KSA. The 0.2-s spectral accelerations range from 0.21 to 0.66 g, while the 1.0-s spectral accelerations range from 0.061 to 0.23 g. The structural models were designed under dead, live and seismic loads of these cities according to the Saudi Building Code. Incremental dynamic analysis was performed under 12 ground motions using SeismoStruct. Five performance levels, namely, operational, immediate occupancy, damage control, life safety and collapse prevention were considered and monitored in the analysis. Fragility curves were developed for the structural models of the three cities considering the five selected performance levels.     

Time-dependent seismic fragility curves for aging jacket-type offshore platforms subjected to earthquake ground motions

This paper assesses the seismic vulnerability of a recently designed jacket-type offshore platform through development of fragility curves and presents the formulation of time-dependent seismic fragility curves to capture the effects of ageing and deterioration on the seismic vulnerability of the representative platform. Among the various ageing processes, the corrosion deterioration of the structure is taken into account by applying a time-dependent model of corrosion deterioration of the tubular elements in the splash zone. Incremental dynamic analysis is performed on the initial uncorroded and corroded platforms considering soil–pile–structure interaction. A full probabilistic analysis is then performed to develop time-dependent seismic fragility curves for the immediate occupancy and collapse prevention limit states. Finally, a time variant cubic model is proposed to develop fragility curves at any point in time during platform’s service life, without need to perform a complete time-consuming fragility analyses. Results show substantial increase in probability of failure of the platform throughout its lifetime due to corrosion deterioration. The results also indicate that the time-dependent fragility curves can be used in offshore platforms to assess the seismic vulnerability of the structure and demonstrate the influence of various factors affecting the seismic vulnerability of the platform during its lifetime.     

Seismic design and performance analysis of buckling‐restrained braced RC frame structures

Due to the stable hysteretic behavior, buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) have been increasingly adopted in reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures to develop a dual structural system (BRB‐RCF). This study proposed an alternative strength‐based design approach that decomposes the dual BRB‐RCF system into two independent RC frame and BRB system using the BRB‐carrying story shear ratio. The design of RC frame is performed in an integrated manner by considering the BRB postyielding force demands. Three RC frames with five, 10, and 15 stories were employed as prototype structures, and seven story shear ratios ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 were used to generate a total of 21 structural modes. The material usage, maximum axial compression ratio of columns, and elastic interstory drift ratio were compared for different story shear ratios. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of the BRB‐RCFs subjected to 12 ground motions were carried out. The seismic response including the maximum interstory drift ratio, hysteretic energy dissipation ratio, and actual BRB‐carrying story shear ratio were systematically assessed for different design story shear ratios. Based on the considerations of material usage and seismic performance, it is suggested that the design BRB‐carrying story shear ratio should be in the range of 0.3 to 0.5.     

Approximate method of estimating seismic performance of high‐rise buildings with oil‐dampers

When subjected to long‐period ground motions, many existing high‐rise buildings constructed on plains with soft, deep sediment layers experience severe lateral deflection, caused by the resonance between the long‐period natural frequency of the building and the long‐period ground motions, even if they are far from the epicenter. This was the case for a number of buildings in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka affected by the ground motions produced by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake in Japan. Oil‐dampers are commonly used to improve the seismic performance of existing high‐rise buildings subjected to long‐period ground motion. This paper proposes a simple but accurate analytical method of predicting the seismic performance of high‐rise buildings retrofitted with oil‐dampers installed inside and/or outside of the frames. The method extends the authors' previous one‐dimensional theory to a more general method that is applicable to buildings with internal and external oil‐dampers installed in an arbitrary story. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical calculations using a model of a high‐rise building with and without internal and external oil‐dampers. The proposed method is effective in the preliminary stages of improving the seismic performance of high‐rise buildings.
