Steel Frame Structure

The seismic performance of braced steel frame was simulated by the finite element software ANSYS based on the passive energy-dissipation under the low-cycle repeated load and the time-history analysis under seismic load for the energy-dissipation braced steel frame structure, no-brace steel frame structure, and conventional braced frame structure. The energy dissipation and seismic performance of three kinds of frame were compared, the results show that the energy-dissipation braced structure can produce strong energy-dissipation control force to enhance energy dissipation capacity of the whole structure significantly, and weaken the seismic load of the main frame. It follows that the energy-dissipation braced steel frame can achieve the purpose of energy dissipation for structure, and has good seismic performance.

Steel Frame Structure

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.

The steel frame with wedge devices is a kind of shock structure based on the node energy consumption. The seismic performances of steel frame with wedge and ordinary steel frame model under low cycle reciprocating load simulation analysis and time history analysis under earthquake loads are analyzed by using finite element software, compared the respective energy dissipation performance and seismic performance, the results show that the wedge spring damping device can effectively control story drifts of structure, reduce the seismic response of structure, and well consume the seismic energy, so the structure of the new column bases with wedge spring devices show better seismic performance.

The multi-storey reinforced concrete frame structure whose frame has been added with a kind of unsymmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace is taken as an example in this article. The time history analysis of different angles of unsymmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace and symmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace under the rare earthquake has been done by using the finite element software SAP2000. The analysis and comparison on the seismic performance shows that symmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace under certain conditions. Plan layout could be more flexible by using the result obtained which could become a reference for design in days to come.

Since the appearance of the first modern multistories buildings, besides the demand of ensuring the bearing capacity, one of the urgent problems facing the engineer is to do how to design structure to ensure the requirements of normal use such as displacement, motion acceleration within permissible limits. There exist many methods to reduce these response of structure under lateral load. Among these, using fluid viscous damper (FVD) is one of the most applied equipment because of its simplicity. This paper presents the examination of eight-story steel frame structure subjected to seismic load. The FVD system is defined in Etabs with link properties. In each story, four dampers are located in each direction of plan, with two on each side of the center of stiffness of the story. The time history analysis was conducted to study the structure subjected to seimic load collected from the function library of program Etabs. The effect of FVD system was determined by the dynamic response of the building and displacement indexes such as maximum displacement of roof, story drift ratio. The results show that, all the dynamic response characters of structure were decreased significantly when providing the FVD to it.

The seismic safety problem of the spherical tank under seismic load has become one important subject in seismic research of special equipment. Based on the ANSYS finite element software, typical spherical tank mechanics model is established first of all, through precise time history response analysis under the seismic excitation to determine the significant location of the stress. Then, the seismic performance impact of the support structure design parameters is analyzed. Finally, the seismic performance of all kinds of spherical tank, such as the large, medium and small tank, is determined. This paper provides a reasonable basis for the anti-seismic safety security and design of the spherical tank.
