In order to study the degradation law and seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame structure with the extension of service time under normal service environment, the multi-scale modeling of corroded reinforced concrete frame is carried out by using the general finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The correctness of the multi-scale modeling method is verified by the experimental data of corroded reinforced concrete members and single frame. The pushover analysis and elastic-plastic time history analysis of a four story reinforced concrete frame structure are carried out by using a multi-scale model. Then the seismic response and damage of RC frame structures with different service time are compared. The experimental results show that the established seismic performance model of reinforced concrete frame structure is more practical in practical application and can meet the research requirements.

Abstract Seismic vulnerability for a structure represents the susceptibility to be affected by an event with a given intensity. The vulnerability of a structure can be influenced by the design methods or by different problems that may appear during the execution process. This paper shows a case study for the vulnerability increase of a reinforced concrete frame structure in 2 different situations: a) modification produced due to code changes, meaning P100-2006 respectively P100-2013; b) modifications produced the structure taking into account the errors which have occurred during the execution process; For both cases, capacity curves were plotted considering the nonlinear analysis, also called pushover. The numerical simulation was performed in SAP2000 software. These curves were compared with the response spectrum corresponding to the site conditions in order to obtain the performance point. For accurate results, fragility curves were plotted for both considered situations, according to previous research of the authors. The paper emphasizes the importance of each stage during the execution of a structure. More over the differences in the vulnerability index show the importance on the overall behavior of the structure. Solution to increase strength and safety for the structure are also given at the end of the paper

This article mainly focus on the research in two-way horizontal earthquake under the action of 5-layer reinforced concrete frame structure optimization analysis. This research utilizes ANSYS software to realize parametric modeling. By using beam and column section sizes as design variables and tructural strength, stiffness, the maximal displacement between the layers as well as reinforcement component limit as constraint conditions, with overall minimum cost as objective function, it has carried on the static analysis, seismic response spectrum to structure analysis and optimization analysis on structures.Also, cross section change has been compared before and after the structure optimization to find out whether structure of various important parameters meet the specification requirements and and reflect the certain economy.

reinforced concrete frame structure due to its economic, applicable and good seismic performance, is a structure in the form of the construction industry in the application of the more common. Due to the functional use need to layout filled wall in the main frame structure, but infilled wall only plays the role of maintaining itself and it can not participate in the earthquake. Ribbed composite wall not only plays the role of maintenance in the frame structure, but can also participate in seismic.

In this paper, the seismic performance of a prefabricated frame structure with a local outsource steel tube bolted column–column connect is evaluated from the perspective of seismic vulnerability theory. Firstly, a simplified model of the prefabricated frame structure was constructed and validated by experiments. Then, a six-story prefabricated reinforced concrete frame structure (PRCS) and a cast-in-situ reinforced concrete frame structure (CRCS) were designed as examples to get the increment dynamic analysis (IDA) of the structure under 12 ground motions, and the two-parameter damage model was used as the structural requirement index. As a traditional structural requirement index-the maximum inter-storey drift angle cannot accurately describe the mechanism of structural damage. Therefore, two types of damage models are compared and analyzed. In addition, in order to evaluate the damage of frame structure effectively, a new damage index weighted combination method is proposed, and its feasibility is verified. Finally, the IDA curve and vulnerability curve with Kunnath two-parameter damage model and the maximum inter-story displacement angle as the requirement index are drawn. The results show that the two-parameter damage model is more accurate than the maximum inter-storey drift angle model in evaluating the seismic performance of the PRCS and CRCS. It shows that the maximum inter-story displacement angle model can overestimate the collapse resistance of the PRCS by 60.7% on average, and the collapse resistance of the CRCS by 75.67% on average. The seismic performance of the CRCS is better than that of the PRCS as the seismic intensity increases. Although the seismic performance of fabricated columns is similar to that of cast-in-place columns, there is still a certain gap in the seismic performance of frame structures.

Structure under long-term load, environmental erosion, material aging, especially under the seismic action can cause damage accumulation and bearing capacity decrease. In order to make sure its safety and reliable, avoid extreme cases of catastrophic accident, it is necessary to carry out the engineering structural health diagnosis. Using SAP2000 software, seismic response analysis for a two layer reinforced concrete frame structure is carried out. The laws of the acceleration response time history and spectrum under different seismic action were found out by discussing structure in no damage and different damages. The results showed that no matter where the damage located, the top node response increment is bigger than the middle node, the peak of acceleration response spectrum changes little with the beam damage degrees changing. Selecting the acceleration response peak of the top node as a structural damage index is feasible in the damage detection and identification of engineering structures, but analyzing the response spectrum for damage detection is unpractical.
