The Ideal

A certain amount of viscous dampers are installed in the 10-storey frame structure in line with different distribution strategies, and then 2 sets of strong earthquake records and 1 set of artificial acceleration time-history curve are selected to conduct the time-history analysis under both frequently and rarely earthquakes via ETABS software. Based on the comparison of the time-history analysis results in various working cases, the ideal energy dissipation results can be obtained when the dampers are installed in the lower stories with a larger storey drift, which also help to utilize the upper space of the structure. The time-history analysis shows that the viscous dampers installed in the lower part of a building have a better effectiveness of vibration isolation than those in the upper parts, and it is no necessary to install too many dampers, for the energy dissipation effects tend to be steady when the number of dampers has been increased to a level.

The seismic performance of a steel pier of box section was studied through low-cycle cyclic testing. The damaged specimens were repaired by filling with concrete and welding steel plates. The low-cycle cyclic test was then repeated. The effects of repairs were investigated by comparison of failure mode, energy dissipation performance, and ductility before and after repair. To supplement the data, the influence of different factors on the seismic bearing capacity and ductility of steel piers were analyzed by finite element method. The repair effects were compared by threshold of the displacement from the experiment. Based on the displacement angle response of the nonlinear dynamic time history analysis, the seismic performance is checked. The results show that repair had favourable effects on the damaged specimens. The horizontal bearing capacity and ductility of the specimens filled with concrete are significantly enhanced. Reinforcement by steel plates can increase the ductility and cumulative energy dissipation of the steel pier. An axial compression ratio of 0.2 and a concrete filling ratio of 30% are suggested. The horizontal bearing capacity can be improved by increasing the steel strength while the concrete strength shows little effect. The angular displacement from nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis was less than the test threshold, so the existing methods used for seismic performance verification are safe.

This paper is a seismic response study on a vertical irregular frame structure which has a cantilevered top floor. Aimed to analyze the features of seismic response for a vertical irregular frame and scaled model, dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test have been carried out by use of the earthquake waves recorded in WENHUAN earthquake. It shows that the results of dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test are in good agreement, and the earthquake influence coefficients obtained by dynamic time history analysis and shaking table test are larger than the value according to Code, which indicates that the results would be not secure if the simplified methods specified in Code only in the sight of the calculation of earthquake loads.

Energy dissipation structure is favored by designers because the earthquake energy can be dissipated by the dampers, which can avoid or reduce the damage caused by earthquake. However, the energy dissipation structure design is complex and the most domestic designers can not master it easily. In this paper, a simple and practicable design method for viscous damper dissipation structure by using the PKPM design software is proposed based on a 7-storey frame structure in highly seismic region. Firstly, lower half or one degree for the design intensity to design out an uncontrolled structure. Secondly, determine the supplemental damping ratio required for the fortification intensity via modal analysis method of PKPM software, and identify the numbers of the required dampers as well as their corresponding installation positions in line with the methods in the seismic code of China. Finally, the ETABS program is adopted to conduct the time-history analysis of the designed dissipation structure, showing that the proposed method in this paper can produce a satisfied result.

<p>In recent years, hybrid rocking columns have drawn more and more interests from researchers, due to their self-centering capacity. The energy-dissipation bars, which are generally applied at the rocking joints of hybrid rocking columns, could improve their energy dissipation capacities. Thus, the reasonable reinforcement ratio of energy-dissipation bars is much required for engineering applications. To determine the reasonable reinforcement ratio of energy-dissipation bars, a numerical investigation is conducted in this paper based on nonlinear time-history analysis. The analysis results show that a reasonable reinforcement ratio of energy-dissipation bars can effectively reduce seismic displacements of the hybrid rocking columns, without excessive residual deformations. Further, the reasonable reinforcement ratio of energy-dissipation bars for hybrid rocking columns with different periods is proposed in this paper.</p>

In this experimental study, elastomeric spring dampers, which have a distinct re-centering characteristic, are used to retrofit a non-ductile, previously damaged 1/3 scale model reinforced concrete building frame structure which is subjected to a variety of ground motions in shaking table tests. A velocity dependent analytical model is developed and verified for the elastomeric spring dampers. This model is implemented in the widely available non-linear dynamic time history analysis computer program DRAIN-2DX to produce response predictions which are in good agreement with experimental observations. The elastomeric spring damper devices significantly attenuate the seismic response of the structure and provide a considerable amount of energy dissipation while the main non-ductile reinforced concrete structural load carrying elements remain elastic. The effect of varying the damper configuration on the structural response was also investigated.
