Combined with the design of Tiantang Site Protection Exhibition Project in Luoyang, China, the seismic performance of an archaized steel tower is studied in this paper. Firstly, a finite element model of whole structure is built accurately with ANSYS software. Then the dynamic behaviors of steel tower are analyzed. The natural vibration frequency and mode shape are obtained. Compared with dynamic test at site, the theoretical values are verified and it is reasonable about adopted loads and boundary conditions in the finite element model. After that, the seismic behaviors of steel tower are calculated and analyzed under seismic intensity 7 degree with methods of spectrum analysis and time-history analysis. The distribution characteristics of displacements and stresses are revealed. The results prove that the seismic performance of the given archaized steel tower can meet the code requirements. It is believed that the results in this paper would give some reference for the design of similar steel tower structures.

As a result of adopting isolated bearings, it is inevitable to increase the lateral displacement of the superstructure and the chance of girder falling. However, the shear keys that just satisfies the structural design is far from meeting the requirements of displacement of isolated bridge restrictions. On account of this, given the nonlinear characteristics of bearings and the restrainer, the authors make the study on the "damping rubber with coupling collar" restrainer, and then establish isolation system model of continuous beam bridge with finite element software named Midas. Meanwhile, the effect of the restrainer on the dynamic response of isolated bridges is presented by time-history analysis, which reveals the great value in the application of limiting displacement of isolated bridge.

By introducing the basic concepts and designing principles of special-shaped column structure, this paper attempts to establish three finite element models (the special-shaped column structure, rectangular column structure with the equal area and rectangular column structure with the moment of inertia) by using the SAP2000. And the basic dynamic structure properties of three structures are analyzed. It’s base of the dynamic analysis for the structure. Then, the paper analyzes the elastic seismic performance under the horizontal earthquake action by using the vibration spectrum method and the elastic time-history analysis method. The results show that three models are all in the elastic steps. We compared the anti-seismic property of three models under frequent earthquake.

The article researches seismic performance of joints of cellular steel column and steel beam by finite element simulation. Finite element model is established by using the finite element software reasonably. Considering about the hole position and the distance of center of hole as invariant moments, under low cyclic loading we can attain hysteretic curves and skeleton curves etc. which are compared and analyzed in different opening rate by simulated software. The results show that for a certain axial compression ratio (n=0.45) of joints of cellular steel column and beam, the reasonable opening rate can improve the seismic behavior of the joints.

According to No.3 dam section of Dahuaqiao gravity dam, a three-dimensional finite element model is built by finite element software ANSYS. Mechanics of materials method, response spectrum method and time history analysis method are employed to analyze the strength of the dam section. Results show that the stress of dam toe, dam heel and downstream fold slope are relatively high and stress concentration emerges in those positions. The phenomenon indicates that these areas are vulnerable under the earthquake and precautions must be taken. But under the designed earthquake, the maximum stress of the dam section is below the allowable stress, representing the dam is in a safe state and the strength requirement is satisfied.

The Ideal

Under the influence of floor, the reinforced concrete frames have never realized the yield mechanism of strong column and weak beam which is a seismic design principle. To study the influence of realizing such yield mechanism because of floor with opening, its necessary to establish two frame models that one is with common floor and the other is floor with opening around the joints whose size is 600mm×600mm by the ANSYS that is finite element software. Moreover, these models apply the seismic loads and carry out the time history analysis. The results show that the frames stiffness has been weakened after the floor is opened, the peak acceleration reduced and the displacement increased. However, the ductility has been strengthened, which slightly reduce the reaction of the acceleration and displacement. In addition, the appearance of the plastic hinges in the beam are advanced, and the development of their plastic deformation becomes quicker than those of columns, and the plastic hinges in the bottom of the column are delayed. Therefore, the measure of opening the floor can realize the ideal yield mechanism of strong column and weak beam to reach the seismic target that the building cant collapse under the strong shocking.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of posttensioned concrete piers with external viscoelastic dampers to improve the energy dissipation capacity of this type of structure. An installation scheme for viscoelastic dampers on bridge piers is proposed, and the mechanical models of the damper are analyzed according to the installation scheme. By attaching the viscoelastic dampers to the posttensioned bridge piers, the analytical model of the hybrid system is established using the OpenSees finite element analysis package. Cyclic behavior and time history analyses are conducted on a posttensioned bridge with and without viscoelastic dampers using the established finite element model. The analysis results indicate that the viscoelastic dampers can effectively improve the seismic performance of the bridge structures with posttensioned piers.

Collapses of power transmission towers had usually taken place in previous large earthquake. The collapse process of a power transmission tower under earthquake excitation is studied in this paper. Using international finite element software ABAQUS, the three-dimensional finite element model of the power transmission tower is created based on a practical engineering. Three typical seismic records are selected. The progress collapse processes of the power transmission tower under different seismic excitations are simulated using the nonlinear time history method. The collapse paths and failure positions of the power transmission tower are obtained under different seismic excitations. The results can provide reference for seismic design of power transmission tower which can prevent the collapse of the power transmission tower.
