Seismic Responses of Cylindrical Reticulated Mega-structure under Traveling Wave Excitations

Considering the significant influence of spatial correlation in long-span spatial structures, seismic response analyses of traveling wave excitations in cylindrical reticulated mega-structure were conducted under one-dimensional and multidimensional severe earthquake by using dynamic time-history method. Elastoplastic displacement and stress, stress range, distribution and development of yield members of the structure under traveling wave excitations were researched via inputting horizontal transverse wave and longitudinal wave separately firstly. Then traveling wave effects of the structure were studied under different dimensional earthquake inputting and different spans. It is shown that the response effects under traveling wave excitations differ from that under simple support excitations and the diversity changes under different earthquake inputting and different span, which proves that the effect of traveling wave excitations should be taken into account under different earthquake inputting in long-span spatial structures.     

Earthquake Response Properties of the Support Structure of Large Cross Section Tunnel

The response properties of displacement and stress of tunnel support structure are discussed in detail under the action of horizontal earthquake acceleration(Ya),longitudinal earthquake acceleration(Za) and horizontal-longitudinal earthquake acceleration(YZa).This discussion is based on an analysis of the surrounding rock-support structure-earthquake interaction,adoption of an ADINA nonlinear finite element and construction mechanics,and transient dynamic time domain analysis of a large cross section tunnel.Results of analysis show that:(1) Horizontal earthquake acceleration has important influence on horizontal displacement,maximum principal stress,acceleration and velocity.(2) Longitudinal earthquake acceleration has important influence on longitudinal displacement,effective stress,maximum and minimum principal stress,maximum shear stress,acceleration and velocity.(3) When Ya=0.191g and 0.440g or Za=0.141g and their combined action,the initial support of tunnel would be damaged and the local lining would have partial damage.(4) When Ya=0.440g or Za=0.326g and their combined action,the lining of tunnel would be damaged.(5) When Ya=0.880g or l Za=0.652g,the support structure of tunnel would have severe damage.

实际边坡动力稳定性受地震竖向与水平方向效应共同作用,传统边坡地震永久位移计算方法较少考虑竖向地震波影响,采用实际地震的竖向与水平方向加速度-时程曲线共同效应更符合工程实际。基于极限分析上限法和Newmark刚塑性滑块模型,提出一种基于实际水平向与竖向地震加速度-时程曲线的边坡永久位移计算改进方法,以3个工程边坡为例,探讨了两组具有代表性实测典型水平和竖向地震地面运动记录对边坡地震永久位移计算的影响。研究结果表明:不考虑竖向地震加速度时程曲线时,本文方法可蜕化为与前人方法兼容;不同地震波的竖向与水平地震动时程曲线的叠加效应不同,竖向地震对边坡永久位移的影响不可忽略。

Inelastic Seismic Response of Ordinary Reinforced Concrete Regular Frames

With an inelastic dynamic analysis program developed by the authors, seismic response analysis of regular RC frames designed to Chinese codes in different earthquake fortification zones are carried out. The results indicate that the displacement responses of structures are improved due to the more rigorous limitation on the inter-story drift under frequent earthquakes in the revised codes. The frames in seismic-intensity-9 zone designed to the former codes and the revised codes form plastic energy-dissipated mechanisms mostly With beam hinges, which can satisfy the requirement of seismic performance expectably. The frame in seismic-intensity-8 zone designed to the former code forms a plastic energy- dissipated mechanisms mostly with column hinges and shows a risk of occurrence of story-sway mechanism, while the frame in seismic-intensity-8 zone designed to the revised codes exhibits a relatively improved seismic performance but still with excessive column hinges, which suggests a need to further increase the column moment amplification measures for this kind of frames. The frame in seismic-intensity-7 zone shows a somewhat improved seismic performance than the frames in seismic-intensity-8 zone, but the protection to columns by the seismic measures is sill insufficient, which indicates that the column moment amplification measures for this kind of frames should be enhanced further.     

Response Spectrum Method for Seismic Response Calculation of Pipeline System Multiply Supported on Structures

In order to ensure the function of building in the earthquake, reduce economic losses and facilitate post-disaster relief, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the seismic performance of pipeline system on the structure under seismic excitation. Considering this practical need, seismic response calculation methods of piping systems on structures were systematically studied. Firstly, theoretical derivation was performed based on the pseudo-excitation method for seismic response of pipeline system. It is found that the formula in previous studies has obvious defect: the accurate relative displacement values of degree of freedom near the supports can not be obtained in the formula. Thereby, the theoretical basis for derivation was mended to correct the defect, and the uniform combination expressions available for pipeline's seismic response calculation which is in the form of ground response spectrum or floor response spectrum were presented. Moreover, the simplified formulas and calculation method of correlation coefficients in the obtained expressions were put forward according to the assumption of white noise earthquake excitation. Finally, case studies were adopted to verify the proposed method's effectiveness and applicability in the seismic response calculation of pipeline system.     

Dynamic Response Analysis of High-rise Pile Cap-soil-structure under the Wave and Earthquake Action

Finite element software was used to simulate the internal force and deformation of high-rise pile cap-soil-structure under the wave and earthquake action. Meanwhile, wave force was calculated by using Morison equation, and the mechanical behavior of structure was simulated by inputing horizontal El-Centro wave. Then, the initial state and the state of the largest positive and negative acceleration were selected to study the structure according to the time history curve, and the displacement, bending moment, shear and axial force changes of pile foundation under wave and earthquake action were discussed, which was compared and analyzed with the structural response under the action of earthquakes solely. The result shows that the moment of front row of piles is biggest, and the force of pile bolck is the most dangerous; the axial force of the corner piles is the largest, and one of the center piles is the smallest under the action of wave and earthquake. When the wave forces and seismic forces are in the same direction, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be increased, on the contrary, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be decreased.     

Transverse Seismic Design and Analysis of an H Type Bridge Tower Cable Stayed Bridge

According to our current bridge seismic design codes, the bridge tower is explicitly required to remain almost elastic even under the excitation of occasionally happened earthquake. To achieve this seismic performance objective, usually the steel ratios of tower base and strut are required to satisfy the static loading demand and increase by a large margin as well in most engineering practices which leads to engineering inefficiency as well as a rising seismic demand for the substructure. Therefore, the structural design parameters including the location, the stiffness and the constrain condition of the strut with respect to the tower column of H shape tower were studied to explore their effect on the transverse seismic responses of cable-stayed bridge tower, Moreover, the effect of yield intensity of the strut on the seismic responses of the tower column is also studied. The results show that the location and the stiffness of the strut have a slight effect on the seismic responses while the transverse seismic demands of the bridge tower decrease drastically when the constrain condition between the cross beam and the tower column changes.     

Seismic Behavior of a Slope Protected by a Soil Nailing Retaining Wall during an Earthquake

The dynamic elastic plastic finite element method was used to study the seismic performance of a slope protected by a soil nailing retaining wall. On the basis of working in parallel and interaction between loess and a flexible retaining wall, a 3 D nonlinear finite element method (ADINA) also was established. Rational earthquake excitation and damping were discussed for geological engineering. Horizontal and vertical excitations were considered simultaneously in the analyses. A model capable of simulating the nonlinear static and dynamic elastic plastic behavior of soil was used to model the soil, and a bilinear elastic plastic model having hardening behavior was used to model the soil nailing. A friction element was employed to describe the soil structure interaction behavior. Our research focused on the seismic performance of the horizontal and vertical slope deformation, soil nailing axial force, and earth pressure subjected to horizontal and vertical excitations. The results show that the seismic performance of slope protected by soil nailing is good; soil nailing axial force increases after an earthquake; permanent slope displacement occurs during an earthquake; and the peak earth pressure distribution during an earthquake is similar to the earth pressure before the earthquake. These conclusions can provide references for seismic analyses and design in soil nailing engineering.

Analysis on Interfacial Stress Between Surrounding Rock and Shotcrete Lining

According to the characteristics of interfacial stress between surrounding rock and shotcrete support, mechanical model of composite curved beame for support system of tunnel surrounding rock and shotcrete lining was established, considering the interfacial deformation coordination and the effects of bearing arch of surrounding rock. Then from static equilibrium of two differential elements, the differential equations for the radial displacement of composite curved beam were obtained. All analytic formulas of both interfacial stress and internal forces between surrounding rock and shotcrete lining by arbitrary distribution load were derived. And thus the mechanical condition of interface zone and the stress concentration position were obtained, which is convenient to assess the stability of surrounding rock and predict the safety. Finally, the analysis of tunnel project excavated by bench method showed that shotcrete lining made the formation of compressive stress zone in surrounding rock by transferring stress from the interface between surrounding rock and shotcrete, which is beneficial to improve the stability of surrounding rock.     

Study of Tunnel Supporting Effect

Based on the elastic theory, an analysis can be made on stress and plastic deformation under tunnel excavation and shotcrete support.FLAC 3D can be used to simulate the mechanical behavior of excavation and support, getting the deformation of surrounding rock stress and plastic without support and shotcrete. The results show that, the prestress applied on the anchor equals to the supporting force when the tunnel plastic zone disappears. This support improves the self bearing capacity of surrounding rock, effectively suppresses the expansion of the plastic zone after the tunnel excavation, and prevents further damage to the tunnel surrounding rock.

Analysis and control on shift quality of dual-clutch transmission

At present, euqi distance circle model is generally used for directly fitting acceleration peak attenuation. Epicenter distance or focal distance is the only coordinate statistical parameter of seismic station. For large earthquake with a long fault, the iso seismical curve of euqi distance exists serious deviation from realistic iso seismal curve. Six area model was addressed to correct the deviation. With the model, seismic station was divided into six areas by two cut lines of coincided with fault and four cut lines perpendicular to fault. The acceleration peak attenuation curve along cut lines was fitted to analyse the relationship between attenuation curve and area seismic station. Take Wenchuan earthquake for an instance, the accuracy of the model is much higher than that of euqi distance circle model and a little higher than that of four area elliptical model. And the model is more accurate than four area elliptical model in reflecting hanging and foot wall effect and direction effect.     

Shear resistant performance of RC columns subjected to vertical near-fault velocity pulse-like earthquake actions

The aim is to evaluate the seismic properties of ancient timber structure after strengthening and analyze the failure process and corresponding failure state. Based on the hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation principle of the dovetail column-frame strengthened with CFRP and Arches Brackets under the low reversed cyclic loading, the “potential of destruction-resisting” of the two energy-consuming components is obtained. The dissipated energy of each energy-consuming component under the various earthquake conditions is calculated combining with the shaking table test of ancient timber structure. The model of seismic damage evaluation of the two energy-consuming components is established on the basis of the “potential of destruction-resisting” and the dissipated energy. By means of the energy distribution coefficient, the relationship of the failure state between energy-consuming components and overall strengthened structure is discovered, and the model of seismic damage evaluation of the overall structure under the various earthquake conditions is presented. With the derived model of seismic damage evaluation, the failure coefficient of the energy-consuming components and the overall strengthened structure is quantitatively calculated. According to the failure state, the corresponding damage grade of overall strengthened structure is obtained. The results can provide a reliable theoretical basis for predicting the destruction before earthquake and re-reinforcement to the strengthened ancient timber structures after earthquake.

Based on OpenSEES platform, elastic-plastic structural model of long-span bridge with high piers is established. This paper utilizes time-history analysis method to analyze seismic responses of bridge under consistent or multi-support seismic excitation. Seismic performances and failure process for bridge with high piers are studied. Analysis results show that characteristics of seismic excitation and the way of excitation input have some effect on failure sequence and the occurrence or location of plastic hinge for bridge piers. The failure mode for high piers assumes bending failure, and the failure for top of pier is frequently prior to that of pier bottom, which should be paid enough attention.
