Seismic Performance Evaluation

For evaluating seismic performance of structures, a method is presented based on increment dynamic analysis and seismic fragility analysis. Firstly, the failure probability equation is deduced, in which the relationships of seismic intensities and response demands can be determined by the increment dynamic analysis. On this basis the probabilities with different damage levels under different seismic intensities are obtained. Secondly, damage parameter R is defined and used to reflect seismic damage level of structures, damage index Re is defined and used to compare with R range and determine the situation of seismic damage. Finally, the procedure is proposed for evaluating structural seismic performance. In order to verify and demonstrate the method, three structural models are designed, and typical earthquake records are selected. The results of example analysis show that this method is convenient for evaluating multi-levels seismic performance of structures.

Ultra High Voltage

Ultra-high–voltage (UHV) power distribution systems are seeing increased use in the seismically active regions of developing world, including China, as backbone power grids are being built out over long distances. This paper presents a study of the seismic performance of a UHV power transformer. Construction details for a typical Chinese UHV power transformer are described. The seismic behavior of the UHV power transformer is evaluated numerically, including calculation of modal properties and response to design basis earthquake shaking. The amplification of ground motion to the points of attachment of the seismically vulnerable transformer bushings is characterized. Alternative configurations for the sidewall-mounted turrets are investigated to mitigate the dynamic response of the 1,100-kV bushing.
