A direct procedure is presented for generating a response spectrum for an arbitrary nonexceedance probability from a prescribed design mean response spectrum. An amplification factor is derived to estimate the maximum response values of an MDOF system for a nonexceedance probability from the mean maximum ones. An efficient stiffness design method for a shear building is developed with the use of its fundamental frequency and translational eigenvector as parameters for adjusting the nonexceedance probability of the seismic drifts to the specified value. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are demonstrated by a Monte Carlo simulation together with time-history analyses.

A parameter optimization design method is proposed for multiple coal bucket dampers (CBDs) to reduce the seismic response of coal-fired power plants. To test the damping effect of the optimized CBDs, a 1 : 30 scale shaking table test model of a power plant structure was fabricated. A comparative testing program was conducted using three seismic excitations on a model with and without CBDs. A finite element analysis model, replicating the conditions of the shaking table test, was constructed for comparison, and the shock absorption effects of CBDs subjected to 22 groups of far-field seismic action and 28 groups of near-field seismic action were analyzed. Finally, the influence of changes in the structural period on the seismic response of the CBD-equipped structure was studied. The results indicate that the use of CBDs in a coal-fired power plant structure, based on an optimization design method for multiple-tuned mass dampers (MTMDs), results in a significant reduction in the structure displacement response, displays a certain discreteness under different excitations, and maintains a certain damping stability even as the structural period changes. Overall, the use of CBDs is a promising prospect for improving the seismic performance of coal-fired power plant structures.

The cyclic loading test of three steel high performance concrete(SHPC) structural walls was conducted and the failure pattern of the structural walls under the combined effect of axial force, bending moment, and shear force was researched. Based on the experimental results, the displacement-based deformation capacity design method was proposed for SHPC structural walls. It is obtained for the interrelated relationships among the ultimate drift ratio, the axial load ratio, the characteristic value of stirrup content and the aspect ratio. It is concluded that the increasing the characteristic value of stirrup content and limiting the axial load ratio were effective means to improve ductility. The characteristic value of stirrup content of SHPC structural walls with different ultimate drift ratio and axial load ratio were proposed and the conclusion can be referred by the design of SHPC structural walls.

Shaking Table Tests

Shaking table tests were conducted on typical models of subway structures subjected to several seismic shaking time histories to study seismic response of subway structures in soft ground as well as to provide data for validation of seismic design methods for underground structure. Three types of tests were presented herein, namely green field test, subway station test, and test for joint structure between subway station and tunnel. The similitude and modeling aspects of the 1g shaking table test are discussed. The seismic response of Shanghai clay in different depths was examined under different input waves to understand the acceleration amplification feature in both green field and in the presence of underground structure. Damage situation was checked on internal sections of both subway station and tunnels by halving the model structure. Structure deformation was investigated in terms of element strain under different earthquake loadings. The findings from this study provides useful pointers for future shaking table tests on underground structures/facilities, and the seismic response characteristic of underground structure derived from the shaking table test could be helpful for validating seismic design method for subway station.

Nonlinear Static Procedure

One design alternative of earthquake resistant building is Partial Capacity Design (PCD) method. Unlike the commonly used capacity design method, PCD allows a safe failure mechanism which is called partial sidesway mechanism. In this mechanism, all beams and some columns are allowed to experience plastic damages while some selected columns are designed to remain elastic (called elastic columns). A new approach to predict the required strengths needed to design each structural member, called modified-PCD (M-PCD) is proposed. In this research six- and ten-story reinforced concrete buildings were designed using M-PCD, and their seismic performances are investigated. The base shear force resisted by the elastic columns was set to approximately 70% of the total base shear. Both nonlinear static procedure (NSP) and nonlinear dynamic procedure (NDP) are used to analyze the structures. The results show that the expected partial side sway mechanism is observed, and the drifts of the buildings are acceptable.

Combined Failure

A modified concrete capacity design method is available to predict the ultimate tensile strength ( Nu) of screw anchors. Screw anchors commonly fail in a combination of concrete breakout and pullout modes. This combined mode is not distinguished from the breakout mode in the modified concrete capacity design method, which may cause confusions to designers. To investigate the Nu of the combined mode ( Ncomb), this study included 144 unconfined tension tests on screw anchors from three manufacturers in three diameters and two effective embedment depths ( hef) per diameter. Approximately 80% of the tested anchors failed in the combined mode. The differences in Ncomb among the three manufacturers were insignificant despite their varied thread design. Ncomb was found to be linearly correlated to the parameter hef 1.3 but was found independent of the anchor diameter. A regression model was developed to specifically predict Ncomb. The model showed a good fit with the test results.
