PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of the composite open-web grid floor structure.Design/methodology/approachStudied by using mode-superposition response spectrum method and time history analysis method.FindingsThe results show that the vertical mode-superposition response spectrum method is close to the time history analysis method. The floor has strong seismic performance, and the deflection and internal force are not large under vertical seism. The vertical seismic action suggested that 10% of the representative value of gravity load should be used to ensure the safety of the structure.Originality/valueIn the design, the mid-span section should be properly strengthened or the variable section design should be adopted.

Abstract The independent support motion response spectrum method (ISM) is currently used for seismic analysis to calculate the response of multiply supported piping with independent inputs of support excitations. This approach may derive considerable overestimation in the combination of group responses under the absolute sum rule of NUREG-1061 [1]. Then authors have developed an advanced method of the ISM approach named SATH (Spectrum Method Assisted by Time History Analysis). In the SATH method, both of floor response spectra and time histories of floor acceleration are used as independent inputs of support excitations. The group responses are summed with correlation coefficients which are calculated by considering each time history of modal response by independent inputs of support excitations. In this paper, the necessity of taking the effects of correlation coefficients for the group responses into account in the ISM approach is examined. The SATH method has advantage to derive a more realistic sum rule of the group responses and applicability for the actual design.

The response of the long-span cable-stayed bridges under seismic load is complex. Reasonable methods is very important to analyze the seismic performance. In this paper, a practical project is taken as research background which is double pylon cable-stayed bridge with main span of 416m. Two artificial seismic waves and two seismic records were selected to analyze the seismic behaviors by the response spectrum method, time history analysis method and power spectrum method. The result shows that seismic responses of the girder and main tower are basically identical under the effect of artificial seismic wave. The response spectrum analysis results of them are between the other two methods under the effect of the natural seismic wave. For stay cable, time history analysis results has great difference compared with results of other two methods. Therefore, different methods should be choosed base on specific circumstances to analyse the earthquake response of this structure.

Taking the three-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge as an engineering example, MIDAS Civil was utilized to establish a spatial finite element model and the interaction between pile foundation and the soil was simulated by equivalent soil spring. In addition to analyzing shearing force, bending moment and stress of the primary beam's characteristic section under different loads, a response spectrum method and time history analysis were adopted to conduct seismic response analysis respectively. In this case, performance of the bridge could be comprehensively evaluated. Relevant analysis results indicate that internal force of the large-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge is mainly induced by gravity and pre-stress of the structure; section stresses of the primary beam satisfy the corresponding specification and structural safety can be achieved in a state of operation. Moreover, computed results obtained by the response spectrum method is more conservative than those of the time history analysis. In terms of continuous rigid frame bridge, different seismic directions should be taken into consideration during structural seismic analysis at different construction stages.

As a kind of destructive natural disasters, earthquake can cause serious damage to the bridges of lifeline projects, which will bring great difficulties to the rescue and relief work. The bridge structure is complex, and people pay increasingly more attention to the research on its seismic resistance. It is very important for designers and researchers to adopt an appropriate analysis method in seismic resistance analysis. This paper briefly summarizes the hazards caused by earthquakes to long-span bridges, and introduces the calculation principles of response spectrum method and time history analysis in detail. Through the comparative study of the two commonly used seismic resistance analysis methods for bridges, it summarizes the advantages and disadvantages and the application scope of each method, providing reference for selecting suitable design methods for seismic resistance design. Lastly, it describes the future research trends of response spectrum method and time history analysis.

The design process of the 100 m high reinforced concrete masonry building in China was firstly presented, deformation check calculation under earthquake action by mode-superposition response spectrum method and time-history analysis method were detailed and deformation under wind load was also checked. Then elastic-plastic deformation under earthquake action was checked by time-history analysis method and pushover analysis method with both under uniform load and reverse triangle load. The conclusion is construct 100 m high office building built in Fortification intensity 6 by reinforced concrete masonry is feasible. Then the building was redesigned as built in fortification 7, the same check was performed as that have been done in fortification 6, it is feasible too.

Based on the vertical seismic information, the vertical seismic response spectrum was calculated by Matlab Lsim function. The seismic effect of Kiewitt-Lamella suspended-dome was measured by dynamic to static ratio. According to the EL-Centro seismic wave, it analyzed and compared the dynamic to static ratios which were calculated by the following four vertical seismic calculation methods respectively: the simplified method of specification, the mode-superposition response spectrum methods based on the horizontal earthquake affecting coefficients and the vertical acceleration response spectrum respectively, and the time history analysis method. Analysis shows that: For the seismic effect, the time history analysis method is larger than the other three methods, and the method based on the vertical acceleration response spectrum is closer to the time history analysis method. Owing to large difference of the four methods for seismic effect, various methods should be adopted to ensure the safety of vertical seismic design.

By response spectrum method, superposition method based elastic time-history analysis and nonlinear time-history analysis of Newmark-β based linear increasing acceleration method, the finite element models of frame piers 21#~29# of the Ziya River Bridge on Tianjin to Baoding railway are established, and an assistant program code is generated to analyze seismic response of the frame pier. Results indicate that the vibration modes of frame piers are scattered. Only a few modes would be aroused in a narrow band spectrum. And the seismic response obtained by the response spectrum method is generally 10%~20% smaller than which obtained by the elastic time-history analysis. Under seismic excitations along the longitudinal direction, the ratio of displacement difference between two columns to the maximum value is generally liner increased with the increasing of the girder deviation from the centre of the pier beam. And the plastic hinge yielding would occur both at the bottom and the top of pier columns under excitations of the transversal direction. As a result, taking more than 30 vibration modes into account is suggested in a seismic response analysis or design calculation for frame piers. A time-history analysis is recommended as well. The evaluation of earthquake resistant capability of the transversal direction should consider both the bottom and top of the columns, and the anti-seismic capability design of the longitudinal direction is one of the key points for frame piers in the ductility design.
