The energy dissipation device is put on the support bar of the steel frame structure so as to form the energy dissipation support. The structural performance can be adjusted and improved through the additional stiffness and damping so as to realize the structural damping result. As there are many elements that can affect the structural earthquake anti-seismic performance, modal analysis which is taken as the basic contents, is conducted on the application of the common support and steel frame structure of energy dissipation support and the analysis is also conducted on the influences of energy dissipation to the vibration and cycle of the steel frame so as to lay a good foundation for the analysis on the anti-seismic performance of steel frame-energy dissipation support structural system.

Abstract In design steel frames, combining semi-rigid and rigid connections can result in better structural performance, particularly in seismic locations. In this study, the effects of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections located on the seismic performance of steel frame structures are investigated. The analysis uses six and twelve-story moment resisting steel frames (MRSF) with rigid, semi-rigid, and dual beam-column connections. These frames are designed according to the Egyptian design codes. Drain-2Dx computer program and seven earthquake ground motions are used in the non-linear dynamic analysis. The rotational stiffness of beam-to-column connections is indicated through the end fixity factors with a value equal to 0.6. The performances of these frames are evaluated through the roof drift ratio (RDR), the maximum story drift ratios (SDR), and the maximum column axial compression force (MACF). The results indicated that the quantities of fundamental periods, roof drift ratio, the story drift ratio, and the column axial compression force are related to stiffness, rigidity, and the number of semi-rigid connections in steel frames.

Story drift angle is one of the main indexes to test the seismic performance of building structures. American seismic code of buildings FEMA273/274 respectively provide the limit values of story drift angle in two kinds structural systems, steel frame and steel-support frame. This article collects 40 groups steel frame test data and 24 groups steel-support frame test data. By the statistical analyses of story drift angle and the comparison to the drift angle limit values in different countries, the seismic performance levels of steel frame structure are divided into six,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴand Ⅵ, and the suggested limit values of story drift angle corresponding with performance levels are given.

<p>With the continuous development and progress of society, the structure of high-rise buildings has been paid more and more attention by the engineering community. However, the existing high- rise structure design methods often have a lot of redundancy and have a lot of room for optimization. Most of the existing seismic design methods of high-rise structures are based on engineering experience and manual iterative methods, so that the efficiency of design can not meet the needs of the society. if the method of design automation is adopted, the workload of designers can be greatly reduced and the efficiency of structural design can be improved. Based on the digital modeling theory, this paper proposes a MAD automatic design algorithm, in which the designer provides the initial design of the structure, and the algorithm carries out the modeling, analysis, optimization and design of each stage of the structure, and finally obtains the optimal structure. The structural design module of this algorithm starts from the component level, when the component constraint design meets the limit requirements of the specification, it enters and completes the component constraint design and the global constraint design of the structure in turn. In this paper, taking a ten-story braced steel frame high-rise structure as an example, the optimal design is carried out, and its seismic performance is analyzed. the results show that the MAD automatic design algorithm can distribute the materials to each part reasonably, which can significantly improve the seismic performance of the structure and realize the effective seismic design.</p>

Steel Braced Frame

The horizontal stiffness of steel frame is relatively weak. So designers introduce brace system into steel frame to increase the horizontal stiffness. In order to guarantee the safety of the structure, we should imitate the performance of the structure under seismic loads. In this paper, the pseudo-dynamic test was conducted on the semi-rigid connection of steel frame and the semi-rigid connection of steel-braced frame. The test results show that the brace can increase the ductility of the structure, decrease the displacement of the top floor, decrease the interlayer displacement, and bear ground floor shearing-force. So the brace greatly impacts the performance of the structure. It has the ability of anti-earthquake and strong resistance ability of lateral force.
