The interaction between multiple loops and string cables complicates the dynamic response of triple square loops-string dome structures under seismic excitation. The internal connection between the multiple square loops-string cables and the grid beams was studies to provide a favorable reference for an anti-seismic structure. With a finite element model of the Fuzhou Strait Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, established by SAP2000 software, the structural dynamic characteristic parameters were obtained first, and then this study adopted a time-history analysis method to study the internal force response of the cables and the roof grid beams of the multiple square loops-string dome (MSLSD) under three types of seismic array excitation. The influence of two factors, namely the seismic pulse and the near and far seismic fields, on the dynamic response of this structure was analyzed by three groups of different types of seismic excitation (PNF, NNF, PFF). As shown from the results, the first three-order vibration modes were torsional deformations caused by cables, the last five were mainly the overall roof plane vibration and antisymmetric vibration. Under the excitation of the three seismic arrays, the internal force responses of stay cables, square cables in the outer ring and the string cables were largest, while the maximum internal force response of the struts changed with the direction of seismic excitation. The largest internal force response of the roof grid beams occurred in local components such as BX3, BX7 and BY7, and the largest deformation of the beam nodes occurred in JX7, JX12 and JY4. In general, the seismic pulse and the near seismic field weakened the internal force response of the struts and cables but increased the internal force response and deformation of the dome beams, while the near and far seismic fields outweighed the seismic pulse. All the above provides an important reference for structural monitoring and seismic resistance.

Based on the design of the large-scale shaking table test of an underground pipeline under three dimension seismic excitation, the dynamic response of the soil-structure is analyzed by using ANSYS. In the numerical simulation, Drucker-Prager constitutive model is adopted to simulate the soil, the interface between soil and pipeline are simulated with zero thickness contact elements, size effects of test box are diminished by defining viscoelastic boundary around soil, the acceleration time history curve of the original earthquake wave is compressed and processed according to using the model scale similarity and energy duration which is presented by Trifunac-Brady [1] , and then the characteristic of seismic response of the pipeline can be found. The results show that the top of pipeline is the seismic response intense regional, deformation displacements of the central areas at the bottom and top of pipeline are always larger than others, the entrance and exit are the weak positions of anti-seismic structure; moreover, the dynamic response and interactions of soil-pipeline in the model experiment can be more accurately simulated by the methods presented in the paper. Thus, it can be served as reference for the design and construction of subsurface structures.

Based on stochastic seismic response and time-history seismic response analysis,Dynamic response laws of the high slope constructions by three real seismic waves and a synthetic seismic wave were studied using finite - element method, discussing the differentiation and relation between the high slope constructions and ground constructions. The results show that the dynamic response on high slope constructions are less intensive than ground constructions due to delaying effect of high slope soil acts on the structure, but its internal force stronger than ground constructions as the pile in high slope constructions are anti-sliding and bearing. Results are conducive to the seismic design of high slope constructions.

This paper uses both numerical simulation method and experimental research method to study on welding residual stress of high-strength steel of the cone-cylinder hull. Welding is often accompanied by a larger welding residual stress, which directly affects the safety and service life of the hull structure. In order to obtain the distribution of the welding residual stress, the welding procedure was developed by its parameter language by using FE analysis software in this paper. Then the welding residual stress of hot spot region was measured through X-ray nondestructive testing method, and compared it with simulation results. Finally, considering the residual stress as the initial stress, this paper analyzed dynamic response process of the welding structure under combined actions of the welding residual stress and multiaxial loads, which could more accurately determine the stress of welding structure and the location of fatigue risk point. According to the amplitude of damage parameters and strain time-history curve, we can estimate the fatigue life of structure by selecting the corresponding damage models.

Simulation of the time histories of second-order wave effects is often performed by quadratic transformation of a wave time history. By the present approach, the quadratic transformation of waves is approximated by linear combinations of the products of component wave time records and their Hilbert transforms. The computational efficiency is greatly enhanced. The efficient quadratic transformation of a time history is for the time domain solution of structural dynamic response, and can also be used as a post-processor of the frequency domain solution for obtaining statistic parameters of dynamic response.

While the container crane is an important part of daily port operations, it has received little attention in comparison with other infrastructures such as buildings and bridges. Crane collapses owing to earthquakes affect the operation of the port and indirectly impact the economy. This study proposes fragility analyses for various damage levels of a container crane, thus enabling the port owner and partners to better understand the seismic vulnerability presented by container cranes. A large number of nonlinear time-history analyses were applied for a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model to quantify the vulnerability of a Korean case-study container crane considering the uplift and derailment behavior. The uncertainty of the demand and capacity of the crane structures were also considered through random variables, i.e., the elastic modulus of members, ground motion profile, and intensity. The results analyzed in the case of the Korean container crane indicated the probability of exceeding the first uplift with or without derailment before the crane reached the structure’s limit states. This implies that under low seismic excitation, the crane may be derailed without any structural damage. However, when the crane reaches the minor damage state, this condition is always coupled with a certain probability of uplift with or without derailment. Furthermore, this study proposes fragility curves developed for different structural periods to enable port stakeholders to assess the risk of their container crane.

Based on soil-structure interaction model, the seismic dynamic response of tunnel in karst areas were performed by using viscous-spring artificial boundary and time history analysis method. In combination with the Menglian tunnel engineering on the Bao-Teng Highway in Yunnan, in different sizes and sites karst caves conditions, the dynamic responses of displacement and internal force on control points of the tunnel structure were obtained. The results show that comparatively large interal forces, under the high-intensity earthquake conditions, will appear on the side wall of the tunnel which through karst areas, less ones on arch crown and inverted arch parts, and the differential displacements of arch crown reach to the maximum. When the karst caves are located in the side of the tunnel, it make the seismic dynamic response get more large, which make the surrounding rock must be strengthened treatment. The results provide useful reference for the aseismatic design of tunnel.

Dynamic response analysis is carried out for an aqueduct structure of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The interaction of water and aqueduct wall is simplified using Housner method. Six different water depths (empty aqueduct, 1/4 water depth, 1/2 water depth, 3/4 water depth, designed water depth and full water depth) are considered and calculation is conducted using time-history analysis method. The variation rule of dynamic stress and dynamic displacement are gained under different water depths. Results show that water has great influence on aqueduct body and its dynamic response. Dynamic displacement and dynamic stress of the aqueduct structure increase with the aqueduct water level increases. When water depth is bigger, dynamic displacement response and dynamic stress response are later than corresponding earthquake excitation. The relative stiffness of the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam should be fully considered in order to reduce stress concentration of aqueduct body.
