Probabilistic Seismic Capacity Analysis of a Novel Mid-rise Large-span Cassette Structure Using Multidirectional Pushover Method

Based on the analysis for damages of masonry structure from Wenchuan earthquake, the seismic behavior of multi-story masonry school building is analyzed, and the seismic behavior with load-bearing structural system of longitudinal wall is mainly discussed. Based on the analysis and study, several problems which need more attention to the seismic appraisal and reinforcing design are pointed out, and finally the differences and correlation of seismic appraisal, as well as seismic design are discussed.

External Forces

A steel structure in a nuclear power plant is typically constructed next to major safety-related structures. Accordingly, the structural integrity of the steel structure must be achieved until the safety-related building is damaged by external forces. Consequently, the steel structure should have seismic capacity while maintaining the structural integrity of the surrounding safety-related structure. An optimized method for the seismic capacity against the beyond design earthquake was developed to reflect this capacity concept.

Smoke Removal

The article deals with the issues of glass use in the enclosing structures of large-span coverings, which have such advantages as ensuring the penetration of natural light, tightness, minimum labor costs for repair and maintenance. Design shortcomings: the high cost, the need for protection of the internal volume against the penetrating sun rays in the warm season (hothouse effect); arrangement of devices for operation of a roof. The key technical properties and characteristics of glass panels and pane-glass sets, constructive decisions, including interface to the main bearing structures of a large-span covering are given. Peculiarities of their design with due regard for ventilation and smoke removal, a drainage of condensate, ways of fight against frosting and snow drifts on the roof are reflected. Features of the account of loadings, the basic approaches to their calculation are considered. Various design solutions for the spatial metal trussed systems with the original nodal connections are presented. Information on modern solutions of translucent roofs using glass for large-span coverings is given.
