Displacement Based Seismic Design

According to lots of documents previously studied, a seismic design method is put forward based on displacement for steel moment frame. This method is established in condition that the yield displacement of steel frame can be determined by its geometrical dimension; then the objective displacement (ultimate displacement) can be determined in light of performance level of the structure, and the corresponding coefficient of ductility can be obtained. Thereafter, the design base shear of steel frame structure can be calculated by the use of reduced elastic spectrum. Thus, the design of stiffness and capacity can be conducted on steel frame structure. The analysis of case study indicates that the displacement-based seismic design method addressed herein is of reasonable safety and reliability, and of operational convenience, which can still realize the seismic design of steel frame structure at different performance levels.

Displacement Based Seismic Design

AbstractFor performance-based seismic engineering of buildings, the direct displacement-based seismic design method is different from the coefficient method used in FEMA-273 and the capacity spectrum method adopted in ATC-40. The method not only is a linear static procedure but also is applied to the design of new constructions. This paper concerns with experimental studies on the accuracy of the direct displacement-based design procedure. Experimental results of three reinforced concrete (RC) columns designed by the displacement procedure are presented and discussed through pseudo-dynamic tests and cyclic loading tests. From the tests, it is shown that the stiffness degrading factor of RC columns plays a key role. The direct displacement-based seismic design method can reliably capture the maximum displacement demand of the test RC columns if the stiffness degrading factor adopted in the displacement design method for RC material is adequate.

Two 1:4 scale wall specimen was tested under cyclic load to determine its seismic behavior, the responses of the steel frame with GRC lath are studied such as the failure modes, hysteretic behavior, ductility, energy dissipation, and the experimental results were compared with the steel frame. The testing data analysis indicated that bearing capacity, lateral stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation of the steel frame with GRC light hollow lath are superior to the steel moment frame, the steel frame with GRC lath is an ideal lateral resistant system. The prolapse of GRC lath from the frame did not appear, so the steel frame with GRC lath could be better used in the earthquake zone. Due to the collapse of connection of lath with frame, the ductility coefficient of the system is generally between 2 and 3, it is less than requirement of the seismic design specifications, and therefore a suggestion is that the seismic design of steel frame with GRC lath can be according to non-filled wall frame structure.
