Abstract Quayside container crane is a kind of large dimension steel structure, which is the major equipment used for lifting container at modern ports. With the aim to ensure the safety and reliability of the crane under seismic loads, an anti-seismic device is designed. To validate the efficiency and reliability of the anti-seismic device, elastic-plastic time history analysis under rare seismic intensity is carried out. And the results of elastic-plastic time history analysis when the crane installed anti-seismic device and uninstalled the device are compared.

This paper discussed an elastic-plastic time-history analysis on a structure with MR dampers based on member model, in which the elastoplastic member of the structure is assumed to be single component model and simulated by threefold line stiffness retrograde model. In order to obtain better control effect, Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control algorithm is used to calculate the optimal control force, and Hrovat boundary optimal control strategy is used to describe the adjustable damping force range of MR damper. The effectiveness of the MR damper based on LQG algorithm to control the response of the structure was investigated. The results from numerical simulations demonstrate that LQG algorithm can effectively improve the response of the structure against seismic excitations only with acceleration feedback.

Base on the elastic-plastic analytical theory, an elastic-plastic time-history analysis of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge, which engineering background is Dalian Gulf Cross-sea Bridge program, is performed by using general finite element software Midas/Civil. The material nonlinearity of structure is considered with reinforcement concrete fiber model, and distributed hinge type is adopted to simulate for plastic hinge. Compared with the results of an elastic time-history analysis, it is shown that for the structure into the elastic-plastic stage, because of the production of plastic hinge, the input seismic energy is dissipated partially, and the internal forces of structural elements are reduced. The bending moments and axial forces occur mainly in the main tower root. Furthermore, the rotation properties of the plastic hinge causes displacement increasing of certain parts of the structure, which assumes mainly the vertical displacement present on the top of main tower and the main beam. In conclusion, it is proposed that caging devices are set in the design.

Towards the safety reliability problems of the quayside container crane under earthquake excitations, the anti-seismic reliability analysis has been carried out. Because of hugeness and complexity of the structure, it is absolutely impossible to carry on seismic testing with prototype. Thus, a FEM mechanical model of quayside container crane is presented by using the ANSYS codes. Based on the modal response spectrum method and the time-history analysis theory, the load-carrying performance is investigated under earthquake excitations. The results show that neither the displacement response nor the stress response is large under the earthquake excitation in every direction, which could satisfy seismic design requirements.

With a special structure system and architectural shape, Kelamayi Exhibition Building has a quite complicated seismic response and dynamic behavior. Based on performance-based seismic design method, vibration characteristics and seismic response under different earthquakes are researched in this paper. Elastic-plastic model is made, and elastic-plastic time history analysis of structure subjected to strong earthquake is carried out, to verify the bearing capacity of the structure according to aseismic behavior indexes. The results of static analysis and elastic-plastic time history analysis show that, the maximum storey drift angle is less than the limit value 1/100. Parts of the structure is in plastic, but not deep, and can be put into use after some repairment. In a word, Kelamayi Exhibition Building can meet the requirement of seismic fortification and fixed aseismic behavior indexed, and have enough seismic bearing capacity.
