Seismic response of a mid-story isolated structure considering SSI in mountainous areas under long-period earthquakes

At present,there is not much research on mid-story isolated structures in mountainous areas.In this study,a model of a mid-story isolated structure considering soil-structure interaction(SSI)in mountainous areas is established along with a model that does not consider SSI.Eight long-period earthquake waves and two ordinary earthquake waves are selected as inputs for the dynamic time history analysis of the structure.The results show that the seismic response of a mid-story isolated structure considering SSI in mountainous areas can be amplified when compared with a structure that does not consider SSI.The structure response under long-period earthquakes is larger than that of ordinary earthquakes.The structure response under far-field harmonic-like earthquakes is larger than that of near-fault pulse-type earthquakes.The structure response under near-fault pulse-type earthquakes is larger than that of far-field non-harmonic earthquakes.When subjected to long-period earthquakes,the displacement of the isolated bearings exceeded the limit value,which led to instability and overturning of the structure.The structure with dampers in the isolated story could adequately control the nonlinear response of the structure,effectively reduce the displacement of the isolated bearings,and provide a convenient,efficient and economic method not only for new construction but also to retrofit existing structures.

主-余震作用下框架-核心筒错层隔震结构地震响应分析

新型错层隔震结构是基础隔震和层间隔震体系发展而来的一种新型隔震结构。强主震发生后会伴随着大量的余震出现,余震会使结构造成更大损伤。研究新型错层隔震结构分别在单独主震和主-余震作用下结构的变形与损伤,采用ETABS有限元软件建立某24层框架-核心筒结构模型进行非线性时程响应分析。结果表明:主-余震作用下,新型错层隔震结构的核心筒损伤主要集中在框架隔震层和核心筒隔震层之间,框架的塑性铰集中在框架隔震层以下部分,框架隔震层角柱支座的滞回曲线饱满且比核心筒隔震层角部隔震支座耗能好。新型错层隔震结构的最大隔震层位移均出现在框架隔震层。在余震作用下,新型错层隔震结构的损伤会显著增加。框架隔震层以上框架部分和以下框架部分以及核心筒的损伤分别增加8%、10%和19.80%。余震对隔震层的影响更大,框架隔震层和核心筒隔震层的层间位移分别增加78.70%和60.54%。
