The ground motion is multidimensional, random and uncertain in directions when earthquakes occur, so dynamic response under oblique seismic action needs to be considered in the structure design. A frame structure with different stiffness in two horizontal directions was analyzed under seismic action with different input angles. The maximum response of beams and columns was obtained. The seismic mechanism of structures under oblique seismic action was discussed.

AbstractRecent research in engineering seismology demonstrated that in addition to three translational seismic excitations along x, y and z axes, one should also consider rotational components about these axes when calculating design seismic loads for structures. The objective of this paper is to present the results of a seismic response numerical analysis of a mine tower (also called in the literature a headframe or a pit frame). These structures are used in deep mining on the ground surface to hoist output (e.g. copper ore or coal). The mine towers belong to the tall, slender structures, for which rocking excitations may be important. In the numerical example, a typical steel headframe 64 m high is analysed under two records of simultaneous rocking and horizontal seismic action of an induced mine shock and a natural earthquake. As a result, a complicated interaction of rocking seismic effects with horizontal excitations is observed. The contribution of the rocking component may sometimes reduce the overall seismic response, but in most cases, it substantially increases the seismic response of the analysed headframe. It is concluded that in the analysed case of the 64 m mining tower, the seismic response, including the rocking ground motion effects, may increase up to 31% (for natural earthquake ground motion) or even up to 135% (for mining-induced, rockburst seismic effects). This means that not only in the case of the design of very tall buildings or industrial chimneys but also for specific yet very common structures like mine towers, including the rotational seismic effects may play an important role.

Response Reconstruction

Previous studies show that Kalman filter (KF)-based dynamic response reconstruction of a structure has distinct advantages in the aspects of combining the system model with limited measurement information and dealing with system model errors and measurement Gaussian noises. However, because the recursive KF aims to achieve a least-squares estimate of state vector by minimizing a quadratic criterion, observation outliers could dramatically deteriorate the estimator’s performance and considerably reduce the response reconstruction accuracy. This study addresses the KF-based online response reconstruction of a structure in the presence of observation outliers. The outlier-robust Kalman filter (OKF), in which the outlier is discerned and reweighted iteratively to achieve the generalized maximum likelihood (ML) estimate, is used instead of KF for online dynamic response reconstruction. The influences of process noise and outlier duration to response reconstruction are investigated in the numerical study of a simple 5-story frame structure. The experimental work on a simply-supported overhanging steel beam is conducted to testify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that compared with the KF-based response reconstruction, the proposed OKF-based method is capable of dealing with the observation outliers and producing more accurate response construction in presence of observation outliers.

Abstract The seismic damage state of building structure can be evaluated by observing the fundamental period change of structure. Firstly, the fundamental period calculation formula that adapts to the deformation pattern and distribution mode of horizontal seismic action for reinforced concrete frame structure is derived. Secondly, the seismic damage assessment standard of building structure considering period variation is established. Then, the seismic damage assessment method of building structure is constructed. Finally, the seismic damage example is used to verify the established evaluation method. The results show that the established research method has high accuracy and good engineering practicability.

Tunnel Blasting

In order to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, taking Yangjia tunnel blasting through a five-story frame structure residential building as an example, the propagation law of blasting seismic wave was analyzed by using HHT method through on-site blasting monitoring. Then, the ALE algorithm in ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was used to establish a three-dimensional numerical model based on the surrounding rock-cutting section-structure coupling to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings under the blasting vibration of tunnel. The results show that the HHT analysis method can clearly describe the energy distribution of vibration signals in the time and frequency domain. The energy carried by the blasting vibration signal is corresponding to the detonating section, and the maximum energy appears in the cutting section, which further verifying that the vibration effect caused by the cutting hole blasting is the strongest. In the process of tunnel blasting, the dynamic responses of beams, columns and exterior walls of adjacent buildings are not consistent and show different variation rules along the height direction. In addition, the stress centralization mainly occurs in the exterior wall of the building, the joint of the exterior wall and the column, the joint of the exterior wall and the beam, and the joint of the exterior wall and the floor and other non-weight bearing area, indicating that these parts are more likely to damage and crack in the process of tunnel blasting.
