Tower-line system of overhead transmission line are sensitive to wind. Therefore, dynamic effect of wind load should be taken into consideration, for instance, wind-induced vibration coefficient. There might be some errors in the calculation of the coefficient in accordance with ‘Load code for the design of building structures’, for its ignoring the irregular figure, scattered masses and coupling effect of tower-line system. Tower-line system is set up in virtual environment, with tower-line coupling considered, and research wind-induced vibration dynamic responses under Davenport wind speed spectrum. Random vibration theory was applied to calculate the coefficient. Whole tower was divided by hight, and calculated segment’s the wind-induced vibration coefficient seprately. Compare the coefficient from Load Code and random vibration theory, the latter with tower-line coupling effect and tower figure considered, is close to the actual.

A three-dimensional finite element model of a 500 kV high-voltage transmission tower-line coupling system is built using ANSYS software and verified with field-measured data. The dynamic responses of the tower-line system under different wind speeds and directions are analyzed and compared with the design code. The results indicate that wind speed plays an important role in the tower-line coupling effect. Under the low wind speed, the coupling effect is less obvious and can be neglected. With increased wind speed, the coupling effect on the responses of the tower gradually becomes prominent, possibly resulting in the risk of premature failure of the tower-line system. The designs based on the quasi-static method stipulated in the current design code are unsafe because of the ignorance of the adverse impacts of coupling vibration on the transmission towers. In practical engineering, when the quasi-static method is still used in design, the results for the design wind speed should be multiplied by the corresponding tower-line coupling effect amplifying coefficient δ.

Traditional ground-motion models (GMMs) are used to compute pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA) from future earthquakes and are generally developed by regression of PSA using a physics-based functional form. PSA is a relatively simple metric that correlates well with the response of several engineering systems and is a metric commonly used in engineering evaluations; however, characteristics of the PSA calculation make application of scaling factors dependent on the frequency content of the input motion, complicating the development and adaptability of GMMs. By comparison, Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) represents ground-motion amplitudes that are completely independent from the amplitudes at other frequencies, making them an attractive alternative for GMM development. Random vibration theory (RVT) predicts the peak response of motion in the time domain based on the FAS and a duration, and thus can be used to relate FAS to PSA. Using RVT to compute the expected peak response in the time domain for given FAS therefore presents a significant advantage that is gaining traction in the GMM field. This article provides recommended RVT procedures relevant to GMM development, which were developed for the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA)-East project. In addition, an orientation-independent FAS metric—called the effective amplitude spectrum (EAS)—is developed for use in conjunction with RVT to preserve the mean power of the corresponding two horizontal components considered in traditional PSA-based modeling (i.e., RotD50). The EAS uses a standardized smoothing approach to provide a practical representation of the FAS for ground-motion modeling, while minimizing the impact on the four RVT properties ( zeroth moment, [Formula: see text]; bandwidth parameter, [Formula: see text]; frequency of zero crossings, [Formula: see text]; and frequency of extrema, [Formula: see text]). Although the recommendations were originally developed for NGA-East, they and the methodology they are based on can be adapted to become portable to other GMM and engineering problems requiring the computation of PSA from FAS.

For wind-induced vibration of transmission tower-line system, the vibration reduction effects are studied based on a new type steel-lead viscoelastic damper. Firstly, Calculate damped coefficient basing on the test of the new type steel-lead viscoelastic damper under slow reversed cyclic horizontal loads. Then, a finite element model of transmission tower was built by using ANSYS. And the time history samples of random fluctuating wind load is obtained with the linear auto-regressive filter law principle. Next, three installation plans of dampers on tower were proposed based on analyzing the working principle damper and the structure of tower. Finally, a wind-induced vibration transient response simulation was performed respectively for the different plans. The influences of SLVD dampers on the displacement and on the acceleration of the controlled nodes were compared. SLVD damper can reduce the top node displacement by about 37.89%. The results indicated that the SLVD damper can suppress the wind-induced vibration. And through comparison, the optimal installation scheme of SLVD dampers is obtained.

En este artículo se analiza una secuencia de siete sismos (2.5<Mw<3.0) ocurridos en la Ciudad de Morelia, México. Esta serie de temblores ocurrieron en un intervalo de 33 horas en el mes de octubre de 2007. Fueron registrados por dos estaciones locales ubicadas en esa Ciudad. Morelia se encuentra en la la parte central de la Faja Volcánica Trans-Mexicana (CTMVB, por sus siglas en inglés). Las formas de onda y los espectros de estos sismos son sorprendentemente similares, sugiriendo que sus localizaciones y mecanismos focales son casi idénticos. La inversión de forma de onda, restringida a partir de fallas descritas anteriormente en el área (rumbo ~E-O, buzando al norte), arroja un mecanismo focal definido por , y , lo cual es consistente con los mecanismos focales reportados previamente en la región. Dado que, para estos pequeños eventos, la señal se confunde con el ruido para frecuencias f<0.2Hz, se estimó el momento sísmico a partir del espectro de las ondas S en una banda de frecuencias definida en el intervalo 0.2≤f≤1Hz. Sin embargo, en esta banda de frecuencias, existe una amplificación significativa de las ondas símicas debida a una capa de baja velocidad provocada por rocas volcánicas superficiales presentes en cualquier sitio localizado en el CTMVB. En la estimación del y en la interpretación de los espectros observados, se aproximó esta amplificación usando el cociente espectral H/Z. Asumiendo un modelo de fuente , los espectros observados pueden ser explicados con ternas (Δσ, t*, ) (5MPa, 0.02s, 20Hz) y (20 MPa, 0.03 s, 20 Hz), donde Δσ es la caída de esfuerzos asumiendo el modelo de Brune y t* y .son los parámetros de atenuación. Con el fin de simular el movimiento fuerte del terreno, para un sismo postulado de , se usaron estas combinaciones de parámetros junto con las técnicas de Empirical Green Function (EGF) y Random Vibration Theory (RVT). Las aceleraciones horizontales PGA y velocidades PGV en los sitios de referencia están en el rango de 23 a 46 cm/ y de 1.5 a 3.52 cm/s para una caída de esfuerzos de Δσ=5Mpa. Los valores pronosticados para una caída de esfuerzos Δσ=20Mpa son casi el doble (44-89 cm/ and 2.5-6.1 cm/s). Las estimaciones obtenidas, especialmente para Δσ=5MPa, son considerablemente más pequeñas que las reportadas a partir de datos globales. Esta comparación sugiere que existe una alta atenuación en la región volcánica o una inadecuada estimación del efecto de t* y .

Abstract Random vibration theory offers an elegant and efficient way of predicting peak motions from a knowledge of the spectra of radiated energy. One limitation to applications in seismology is the assumption of stationarity used in the derivation of standard random vibration theory. This note provides a scheme that allows the standard theory to be applied to the transient signals common in seismology. This scheme is particularly necessary for predictions of peak response of long-period oscillators driven by short-duration ground motions.
