Building Damage in Mianyang City Caused by the May 12, 2008 Earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, P. R. China

Summarizing building damage in all previous large earthquakes is an important approach to promote the development of structural seismic design. We conducted a statistical analysis of the earthquake damage to various buildings in Mianyang city, Sichuan province, P. R. China. This analysis was based on the emergency assessment and investigation of building damage in Mianyang city caused by the large earthquake that occurred on May 12, 2008 in Wenchuan. We also summarize the damage characteristics of different buildings and the lessons learned. We present the following findings and suggestions for structural seismic design:(1)Buildings in Mianyang designed according to current seismic code withstood the rare earthquake.(2)Different structural systems have obviously varied seismic behaviors. (3)Old buildings always have been the weak links in earthquakes, and should be evaluated and strengthened selectively after an earthquake.(4)Studies of anti cracking measures for masonry walls should be conducted. (5)Effective measures should be taken to reduce earthquake damage to non structural components, for example, infill walls in frames.(6)Seismic design methods and construction measures for stairs should be studied.

Numerical Simulations and Design Method of Coupled Wall System with FRC Coupling Beams

Using the software, ABAQUS, accurate simulations of seismic behavior of 2 coupled wall specimens and 2 cantilever structure wall specimens using high performance fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in plastic hinge under quasi static cyclic loading were carried out. The analysis model proves to be effective with the accordance between results of computation and experiment, then it can be used to analyze the seismic behavior of coupled wall system with FRC coupling beams. By using the verified numerical model, the ability of FRC coupling beams instead of RC coupling beams to provide acceptable performance was discussed. In addition, the impact of coupling ratio on seismic behavior of coupled walls was studied. The results show that coupled walls in which FRC coupling beams are used instead of traditional RC beams have good energy dissipation and ductility, and its initial stiffness is increased and stiffness degradation is slow. And as the coupling ratio of coupled wall structures increases, the stiffness and strength increase. But if the coupling ratio is too large, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity will be significantly reduced.     

Analysis of Failure Mechanism of RC Structures with Specially Shaped Columns Affected by the Diaphragm

With the flexibility-based fiber model,the seismic behaviors of RC structures with specially shaped columns,designed according to the current code,are analyzed under unidirectional rare earthquakes using nonlinear dynamic analysis method.The beam strength is calculated with or without consideration of the diaphragm and its reinforcement.The results are compared and the conclusion has been drawn that the bending capacity of beams would be increased due to the effect of diaphragm and its reinforcement,and which would change the failure mechanism of RC frames under rare earthquake,especially in high intensity areas.Therefore the influence of the diaphragm should be considered during the seismic design of the type of structure.     

Mechanical Model of Steel Plate Composite Shear Walls

Based on concepts of mechanics, a mechanical model of novel type of steel plate composite shear wall is presented. The novel type of structure is formed by steel plate shear wall and T-shaped solid-web composite columns. Flexural stiffness of steel beams, lateral stiffness of the T-shaped solid-web composite columns, shear stiffness of steel plate composite shear wall and shear stiffness of beam-column connection are taken into account in the mechanical model. And the equivalent damping between steel plate and boundary is considered. Based on the deformation features of structures and the calculation hypothesis, the lateral stiffness model and the energy dissipation model of structures are developed. Meanwhile, the calculation equations of elastic ultimate and plastic ultimate of shear strength of structures are set up. The theoretical analysis results inosculate better with the results of experiment. The comparison between the result calculated from the formula and the experimental result shows that the calculation precision is high enough to meet the demand of theoretical analysis. The difference, including equivalent model, stress states, manufacturing defect and installation error, between the formula and the experiment has been further discussed.

Yield Displacement Calculation Method of High-Strength Concrete Shear Wall

It is assumed that concrete compressive stress of the cross-section compression zone is linear distribution when the cross-section of high-strength concrete shear wall reaches yield situation. Based on the plane section assumption, the yield curvature formula of shear wall section is obtained by using moment - curvature analysis method. The parameters affecting yield curvature of high-strength concrete shear wall are studied by using the yield curvature formula. The results show that longitudinal reinforcement yield strain is the most vital factor of the yield curvature in addition to axial load ratio. When axial load ratio is larger, both wing walls of shear wall section have larger impact. The yield curvature formula is presented, considering the impact of axial load ratio, boundary reinforcement yield stress and both ends of wing walls of shear wall section based on the regression analysis of calculation results. On this basis, the vertex yield displacement formula of high-strength concrete shear wall is proposed, and the calculation results of formula correspond well to the vertex yield displacement experimental values of the 12 high-strength concrete cantilever wall. The formula is also suited for the vertex yield displacement of comment concrete shear wall.     

Effects of Infill Walls in Frame Structures under Frequent Earthquake:Revelation from Wenchuan Earthquake

Based on a three-story RC frame, the analysis of the structure with various layouts of infill walls under frequent earthquake was conducted. The results indicate that when the infill walls and their different layouts are incorporated into the structural model, the seismic performance, such as dynamic properties, characteristics of regularity, and internal force distributions would change significantly. It should be also mentioned that because of the constraint of infill walls, the sum of moments at column ends is much larger than that at beam ends at the frame column-beam joints. It is suggested that infill walls should be adequately considered in the mechanical models during seismic analysis.     

Seismic Behaviors of Frames in Frame Wall Structures under Rare Earthquakes on the Zone of Fortification Intensity 8 in China

To investigate the seismic behaviors of frames in frame wall structures (dual system), which may be different from those of frame structures, two frame wall structures were designed conforming to current Chinese design codes. One is a twenty four story building on the Zone of Fortification Intensity 8 (0.3g), and the other is a thirty story building on the Zone of Fortification Intensity 8 (0.2g). Then inelastic dynamic response analyses of the two structures were conducted with series of inputs of ground motions in a rare earthquake level. The seismic behaviors of the two structures were investigated preliminarily. It was found that the columns and beams of the frames in the frame wall structures did not experienced yielding under strong earthquake, while coupled beams in walls were the major energy dissipation elements with their post yielding plasticity. And the bases of some walls formed hinges as well. The reasons for the frames of dual system remained non yielding states were analyzed and discussed from the aspects of their favorable load carrying state and strengthening measures for them in dual systems in Chinese design codes. A preliminary proposal was made that it may be feasible to loosen moderately some seismic fortification measures concerning the frame in the dual system with a height exceeding 60m on the Zone of Fortification Intensity 8.     

The Seismic Shear Capacity of I-Shaped and T-Shaped Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls

There are numerous shear walls with flanges in the high-rise buildings in P.R.China.The shear strength formula for shear walls in Chinese design codes lacks experimental data,while test results in other nations lack aseismatic shear strength test results for shear walls with flanges under axial force.In this paper,we report low-cyclic reverse load test results of shear wall models with large dimensions,one shear wall having an I-shaped cross-section and two with a T-shaped cross-section.We discuss why the aseismatic shear walls of high-rise buildings with large height-to-length ratios have small shear span ratios.We assess the reliability of the shear strength formulary in the Chinese codes for design of shear wall using the international shear wall test results.     

Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.

Microstructures, Reaction Kinetics and Properties of Reaction Between Magnesium and Silica Glass

In earlier calculation models,the stiffness centers in frame-shear wall structures have been located by the structural torsion stiffness.However,the results are illogical owing to the difference between the distortion character and the shears distribute mechanism of the frames and shear walls.In this paper,a new formula for calculating story stiffness is introduced,which can consider the stiffness of the frames and shear walls at the same time.The structural stiffness centers,the torsion eccentric distances and torsion effect are calculated,and the stiffness of elements is considered also.It is shown that the concept of the presented stiffness model is clear and the results are reasonable,which can be used to calculate the appreciative torsion effect.
