Abstract In practical application, the design of energy dissipation usually adopts the concept design, that is, to estimate damper quantity by repeating calculation. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed the energy dissipation structure. This paper proposed two analysis methods to analysis the damper quantity of energy dissipation structure, the multiple-yield-strength method, and the damping-performance-curve method. Both of them can calculate the optimal damping quantity of the structure by adding metal dampers. The multiple-yield-strength method refers to that the yield strength of the metal damper is set by the multiple of the yield strength of the original structure. The optimal damper quantity of metal dampers can be analyzed by time history analysis. The damping-performance-curve method refers to that the target story displacement of the original structure is set. According to the relationship between the target displacement and the shear force in the damping-performance-curve, the stiffness of the original structure to achieve the target story displacement angle is derived, the stiffness is taken as the optimal damping of the metal damper. The optimal damping quantity is added to the original structure for comparative study which is calculated by the two methods. Both of them have reference value, and it could be beneficial for the promotion of energy dissipation.

Energy dissipation structure is favored by designers because the earthquake energy can be dissipated by the dampers, which can avoid or reduce the damage caused by earthquake. However, the energy dissipation structure design is complex and the most domestic designers can not master it easily. In this paper, a simple and practicable design method for viscous damper dissipation structure by using the PKPM design software is proposed based on a 7-storey frame structure in highly seismic region. Firstly, lower half or one degree for the design intensity to design out an uncontrolled structure. Secondly, determine the supplemental damping ratio required for the fortification intensity via modal analysis method of PKPM software, and identify the numbers of the required dampers as well as their corresponding installation positions in line with the methods in the seismic code of China. Finally, the ETABS program is adopted to conduct the time-history analysis of the designed dissipation structure, showing that the proposed method in this paper can produce a satisfied result.

AbstractIn view of the problem of large earthquake displacement in the use of the original concrete engineering shear wall reinforcement method, the energy dissipation and damping structure is used to design the energy dissipation and damping structure reinforcement method in the concrete engineering shear wall. According to the design process of the set method, the anti-vibration coefficient of the concrete shear wall is tested. The energy dissipation structure is used to construct a shear damping wall, and the damper is added to the original shear wall. The concrete shear wall is strengthened by sticking steel technology. So far, the design of shear wall reinforcement method based on the energy dissipation structure has been completed. Compared with the original method, the displacement distance of this method is lower than that of the original method. In conclusion, the effect of shear wall reinforcement method based on the energy dissipation structure is better than that of the original method.

Abstract. In the paper, take full account of energy dissipation operating characteristics. Interlayer shear-frame structure for the analysis of the Wilson-Θmethod ELASTOPLASTIC schedule, the design of a nonlinear dynamic time history analysis procedure. On this basis, taking into account the restoring force characteristics of the energy dissipation system, the inflection point in the restoring force model treatment, to avoid a result of the calculation results of distortion due to the iterative error. A frame structure seismic response time history analysis results show that: the framework of the energy dissipation significantly lower than the seismic response of the common framework, and its role in the earthquake when more significant.

In this study a kind of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) as energy dissipation dampers is attempted for seismic performance of large span double-layer reticulated shell and the effectiveness of BRBs to protect structures against strong earthquakes is numerically studied. The hysteretic curve of such members is obtained through the simulation of the cyclic-loading test, and the equations of motion of the system under earthquake excitations are established. BRBs are then placed at certain locations on the example reticulated shell to replace some normal members, and the damping effect of the two installation schemes of BRBs is investigated by non-linear time-history analyses under various ground motions representing major earthquake events. Compared with the seismic behavior of the original structure without BRBs, satisfactory seismic performance is seen in the upgraded models, which clarifies the BRBs can reduce the vibration response of spatial reticulated structure effectively and the new system has wide space to develop double layer reticulated shell.

On the basis of the static and dynamic testing of the bridge, the original structure model and the model based on stiffness reduction of Dongfu Bridge were analyzed and calculated with the finite element method. The main problem that the anti-shear area of the section in the middle pivot position is not enough is found. On the basis of combination of the passive and active reinforcement styles, a reasonable and feasible reinforcement plan on the girder beam of the main bridge is raised. These conclusions have an important reference value on the bridge reinforcement.

Passive energy dissipation devices have been proved to be effective and low-cost means of structural control, and a variety of dampers have been developed over the past decades. Hysteretic dampers with hardening post-yielding stiffness have multiphased energy dissipation characteristics because of their hardening behavior, which can compensate for stiffness loss and postpone the collapse of damaged structures. In this article, a hysteretic model is proposed for hysteretic dampers with hardening post-yielding stiffnesses, and a formula is derived for equivalent yield strength expressed by the additional damping of the structure. A procedure is developed for displacement-based seismic design that transforms the relatively complex damping into an acceptable yield strength. A numerical example is only presented for demonstrating the design process and simply validating the proposed method. The results show that the proposed procedure is easy to implement and could produce adequate hysteretic dampers with hardening post-yielding stiffness hardening behavior. The maximum displacement responses of the existing structure retrofitted using the proposed procedure satisfy the expected performance objective well. Thus, this procedure could be an alternative to seismic retrofitting for structures with energy dissipation systems.

Rhombic mild-steel plate damper (also named rhombic added damping and Stiffness (RADAS)) is a newly proposed and developed bending energy dissipation damper in recent years, and its mechanical properties, seismic behavior, and engineering application still need further investigations. In order to determine the basic mechanical performance of RADAS, fundamental material properties tests of three types of mild-steel specimen including domestically developed mild-steel material with low yield strength were carried out. Then, a quasistatic loading test was performed to evaluate the mechanical performance and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of these rhombic mild-steel dampers manufactured by aforementioned three types of steel materials. Test results show that yield strength of domestically developed low yield strength steel (LYS) is remarkably lower than that of regular mild steel and its ultimate strain is also 1/3 larger than that of regular mild steel, indicating that the low yield strength steel has a favorable plastic deformation capability. The rhombic mild-steel plate damper with low yield strength steel material possesses smaller yield force and superior hysteretic energy dissipation capacity; thus they can be used to reduce engineering structural vibration and damage during strong earthquakes.
