Taking a practical five-story frame-structure with opening floor as background, the finite element analysis software ETABS is used to perform analysis of the first-floor isolation. Time-history analysis for the structures showed that, vibration reduction effect of the superstructure is obvious under 7 degree earthquakes. The substructure (isolated columns) is still in elastic deformation stage under 7 degree rare earthquakes, which proves that isolation technology on the top of columns can improve the seismic behavior of the first-floor weak frame-structure. Meanwhile, mechanical analyses and seismic design of the isolated columns are performed. The results indicated that rational design ensures the structure’s seismic safety.

Bottom Frame

In the current code of seismic design in our country,infilled wall are considered as non-structural component and do not participate in the seismic checking. In the bottom frame structure, the infilled wall of the first floor often change the number and position for using function at random,this will have unfavorable impact on the main structure. In this paper, a serious damaged bottom frame structure in high intensity area in Wenchuan earthquake is taken as the research object,and 3 comparative calculation models are designed, elasto-plastic time-history analysis is carried out on the use of ABAQUS finite element software. The calculation results show that: the first layer containing infilled with high wall content ratio will reduce the first floor damage, but causing the weak layer of the overall structure transfer from the bottom to transitional masonry story which aggravates damage, at the same time, an appropriate increase in wall content ratio can reduce the torsional response at a certain extent; nonuniform arrangement infilled wall has little effect on the floor deformation and resistance, but it will increase the torsional response of the whole structure.

AbstractThe Italian code requires spectrum compatibility with mean spectrum for a suite of accelerograms selected for time-history analysis. Although these requirements define minimum acceptability criteria, it is likely that code-based non-linear dynamic analysis is going to be done based on limited number of records. Performance-based safety-checking provides formal basis for addressing the record-to-record variability and the epistemic uncertainties due to limited number of records and in the estimation of the seismic hazard curve. “Cloud Analysis” is a non-linear time-history analysis procedure that employs the structural response to un-scaled ground motion records and can be directly implemented in performance-based safety-checking. This paper interprets the code-based provisions in a performance-based key and applies further restrictions to spectrum-compatible record selection aiming to implement Cloud Analysis. It is shown that, by multiplying a closed-form coefficient, code-based safety ratio could be transformed into simplified performance-based safety ratio. It is shown that, as a proof of concept, if the partial safety factors in the code are set to unity, this coefficient is going to be on average slightly larger than unity. The paper provides the basis for propagating the epistemic uncertainties due to limited sample size and in the seismic hazard curve to the performance-based safety ratio both in a rigorous and simplified manner. If epistemic uncertainties are considered, the average code-based safety checking could end up being unconservative with respect to performance-based procedures when the number of records is small. However, it is shown that performance-based safety checking is possible with no extra structural analyses.
