Based on the equivalent mass-spring model and considering the coupling effect between creep soil and prestressed anchors, the dynamic calculation model of prestressed anchors with frame structure is established. The soil mass is expressed in the form of concentrated mass. The action of the frame structure on the soil is treated as a parallel coupling of a linear spring and a linear damper, and the free section of the anchor is treated as a linear spring. Considering the creep characteristics, the soil is regarded as a Generalized Kelvin body and the anchoring section of the anchor is regarded as an equivalent spring body, which are coupled in parallel. Considering the effect of slope height, the dynamic calculation model is solved and the seismic response is analyzed. Finally, an engineering example is used to verify the calculation method in this paper, and the results are compared with the shaking table test and numerical simulation. It shows that the calculation model proposed in this paper is safe and reasonable for the seismic design and analysis of the slope supported by prestressed anchors with frame structure.

“Code for seismic design of buildings”(GB50011-2010)prescribes that for the structure above the isolation layer, seismic intensity can be reduced less than 1 degree when the horizontal damping coefficient is not less than 0.40. Research of seismic performance between non-isolated and isolated frame structures designed based on this rule has not been found. In this paper, 1/3 scale models of a non-isolated and an isolated frame structure are built and shaking table test is conducted to investigate seismic response and damage of structures. Test reveals that isolated structure occurs little damage under different seismic intensity, while damage of non-isolated structure is gradually increasing with the seismic intensity increases and the location of damage is mainly concentrated in the beam end.

This paper is a seismic response study on a vertical irregular frame structure which has a cantilevered top floor. Aimed to analyze the features of seismic response for a vertical irregular frame and scaled model, dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test have been carried out by use of the earthquake waves recorded in WENHUAN earthquake. It shows that the results of dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test are in good agreement, and the earthquake influence coefficients obtained by dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test are larger than the value according to Code, which indicates that the results would be not secure if the simplified methods specified in Code only in the sight of the calculation of earthquake loads.

Mid-story isolation structure is developing from base isolation structures. As a complex structural system, the work mechanism of base isolation structure is not entirely appropriate for mid-story isolation structure, and the prolonging of structural natural period may not be able to decrease the seismic response of substructure and superstructure simultaneously. In this paper, for a four-story steel frame model, whose prototype first natural period is about 1s without seismic isolation design, the seismic responses and isolation effectiveness of mid-story isolation system with lead rubber bearing are studied experimentally by changing the location of isolation layer. Respectively, the locations of isolation layer are set at bottom of the first story, top of the first story, top of the second story and top of the third story. The results show that mid-story isolation can reduce seismic response in general, and substructure acceleration may be amplified.

Under the effect of a large earthquake, the range of plastic comes into the column and the beam of the frame structure. By using energy dissipation devices, it is possible to reduce the response and the damage of the structure. A friction type damper which was a compact form and had high damping characteristics, was developed. It was made of steel plate, aluminum sliding plate, rubber washer and high tension bolt. To validate the performance of the new damper, the elemental tests and the shaking table test were conducted. In the shaking table test, frame structure composed of full scale member with friction damper was excited by actual seismic wave. As a result, it was found effective and had a high damping performance. This paper mainly reports the results of the shaking table test.
