Magnetorheological Damping

Due to the influence of nonlinearity and time-variation, it is difficult to establish an accurate model of a magnetorheological damping structure that adopts semiactive control. Fuzzy control is a relatively appropriate control method, but fuzzy control design is susceptible to human subjective experience, which will decrease the control effect. This paper proposes new fuzzy control rules based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) and performs a numerical simulation for a three-layer reinforced concrete frame structure under conditions of an uncontrolled structure, fuzzy control, fuzzy control optimized by GA, fuzzy control optimized by PSO, and GA-optimized FLC control (GA-FLC) proposed by Ali and Ramaswamy (2008). The results show that (1) the fitness values of the convergence of the two types of optimized fuzzy control are close. The speed of the convergence of the fuzzy control optimized by PSO is faster than that of the fuzzy control optimized by GA, but its running speed is slower. (2) Comparing the acceleration and displacement of the structure under the conditions of three different seismic waves, the effect of the optimized fuzzy control is better than that of the human experience fuzzy control and GA-FLC.

Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

Taking the optimization of steel reinforced concrete frame structure as background, the searching and optimizing of structural were taken as optimization objectives by introducing failure modes. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) was used to search the seismic wave, which had important significance of the structure, thus, the failure modes under the seismic waves could be obtained. And three optimization methods were proposed. Finally, an example was analyzed to verify the rationality of the proposed optimization thought and method.

Acoustic Emission Testing

Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring was performed during Pseudo-Dynamic Testing of a torsionally unbalanced, two-storey, one-by-one bay reinforced concrete frame structure. The structure represented a 0.7-scale model of a real-size frame structure designed and detailed according to the standards prevailing in Greece in 60's, without engineered earthquake resistance. Real time monitoring of AE activity versus the complex applied load resulted in semi quantitative damage characterization as well as comparative evaluation of the damage evolution of the different size columns. Evolution of the AE energy rate per channel, as revealed from zonal location, and the energy rate of linearly located sources enabled the identification of damage areas and the forecast of crack locations before cracks were visible with naked eye. In addition to that, the results of post processing evaluation allowed for the verification of the witnessed damaged areas and formed the basis for quantitative assessment of damage criticality.

Middle Column

In collapse-resistant design of a structure under accidental local action, it is important to understand the failure mechanism and alternative load paths. In this paper, a pseudo-static experimental method is proposed. Based on which, the collapse of frame structure was simulated with testing a 1/3 scale; 4-bay and 3-story plane reinforced concrete frame. In the experience, the middle column of the bottom floor was replaced by mechanical jacks to simulate its failure, and the simulated superstructure’s gravity load acted on the column of the top floor by adopting a servo-hydraulic actuator with force –controlled mode.

Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis

The randomness and uncertainty of seismic demand and structural capacity are considered in demand-capacity factor method (DCFM) which could give confidence level of different performance objectives. Evaluation steps of investigating seismic performance of steel reinforced concrete structures with DCFM are put forward, and factors in calculation formula are modified based on stress characteristics of SRC structures. A regular steel reinforced concrete frame structure is analyzed and the reliability level satisfying four seismic fortification targets are calculated. The evaluation results of static and dynamic nonlinear analysis are compared which indicates that the SRC frame has better seismic performance and incremental dynamic analysis could reflect more dynamic characteristics of structures than pushover method.
