The Impact

In order to improve the energy consumption capacity of the assembled self-resetting pier, the mild steel damper is added to the prefabricated self-resetting pier to form a prefabricated self- resetting pier with an external mild steel damper. Two sets of pier models were established by numerical simulation. On the basis of verifying the correctness of the traditional prefabricated self- resetting pier model, the two sets of pier models were subjected to low-cycle reciprocating loading to study the influence of the mild steel damper yield strength parameters and the pier axial compression ratio parameters on the seismic performance of the pier structure. The results show that compared with traditional prefabricated self-resetting piers, the hysteresis curve of self-resetting piers with mild steel dampers is fuller, and energy consumption and bearing capacity are greatly improved. With the increase of the yield strength of the mild steel damper, the energy consumption capacity will decrease when the loading displacement is less than 25mm, but the overall energy consumption capacity will increase. As the axial compression ratio of the pier column increases, the bearing capacity and energy consumption capacity of the structure increase significantly, but the impact is not obvious when the axial compression ratio exceeds 0.052.

Cracking Performance

In this study, four single-story reinforced masonry shear walls (RMSWs) (two prefabricated and two cast-in-place) under reversed cyclic loading were tested to evaluate their seismic performance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear behavior of RMSWs with flanges at the wall ends as well as the effect of construction method. The test results showed that all specimens had a similar failure mode with diagonal cracking. However, the crack distribution was strongly influenced by the construction method. The lateral capacity of the prefabricated walls was 12% and 27% higher than that of the corresponding cast-in-place walls with respect to the rectangular and T-shaped cross sections. The prefabricated walls showed better post-cracking performance than did the cast-in-place wall. The secant stiffness of all the walls decreased rapidly to approximately 63% of the initial stiffness when the first major diagonal crack was observed. The idealized equivalent elastic-plastic system showed that the prefabricated walls had a greater displacement ductility of 3.2–4.8 than that of the cast-in-place walls with a displacement ductility value of 2.3–2.7. This proved that the vertical joints in prefabricated RMSWs enhanced the seismic performance of walls in shear capacity and ductility. In addition, the equivalent viscous damping of the specimens ranged from 0.13 to 0.26 for prefabricated and cast-in-place walls, respectively.

Load Carrying

A centrally reinforced column is a new type of RC columns, formed by providing a reinforcement skeleton at the central part of the cross section of an ordinary RC column. Tests have shown that as compared with an ordinary RC column, this type of columns has a higher load carrying capacity and ductility. From the pushover analysis of a frame composed of ordinary RC columns and one consisting of centrally reinforced columns, their seismic performance under seismic load of 9-degree intensity was studied according to Chinese code, including target displacements, story-level displacements, interstory drifts, appearance and development of plastic hinges. The results indicate that although the dimensions of cross sections of columns in the frame with centrally reinforced columns are smaller than those of the ordinary frame, the former still has a higher overall load carrying capacity and seismic performance than the latter.

The Stability

To the H-shaped Mild steel damper which has been applied to the market, this paper proposes the opening box dampers were made in material Q235 steel. Studied the influence of the angular size between Webs and vertical direction to the box-shaped Mild steel damper by FEM ABAQUS. The results indicated that under the same rate in the web openings, box dampers has the same yield displacement and hysteresis curves were fuller than H-shaped dampers. With the increase of web and vertical angles, the initial stiffness of the damper box steel and yield strength and yield stiffness of the damper would reduced, but all of these are larger than H-shaped steel dampers; Meanwhile, moment of inertia of box dampers’ two webs to Y-axis is larger , which greatly enhancing the stability of the outside plane to the damper, the larger Web angles, the stronger yield strength and the stability of the outside plane.

The seismic responses of solid pile and hollow pile were analyzed and compared in this paper. According to the deflection equation of pile during earthquake, rotation, bending moment, shear force and soil resistance of pile were obtained. The differences of deflection, rotation, bending moment, shear force and soil resistance between hollow pile and solid pile, whose effective areas of cross-sections were same, were found. From calculation results, hollow pile had certain advantages in seismic performance. This study provided a theoretical basis for the applications of hollow piles in practical engineering.

Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame Buildings which have been designed as Special Moment Resisting Frames in accordance to three Indonesian codes (SNI 1727-2013, SNI 1726-2012 and SNI 2847-2013) can be evaluated using nonlinear dynamic analysis. Criteria related to strength such as component plastic rotation capacity, lateral displacement as well as criteria related to damage of elements in the structures were used to evaluate the seismic performance of the buildings. Assessment to the moment and curvature capacities of the cross sections of beams and columns were done using XTRACT. The global seismic performance of the structures depends on the seismic performance of components in the structures. In nonlinear model of the structures, the degrading strength of the components were modeled to take into account the gradual reduction of the contributed components to the resistance of the structures. PERFORM-3D is one of the software that can be used to generate nonlinear model of structures. Seismic performance level of structures can be obtained from the results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis using PERFORM-3D. The Seismic performance level can be utilized for: (1) detecting any weaker part in the structures, and (2) evaluating the improved design of the structures for enhancing the seismic performance of structures.
