Nonlinear Time History Analysis for the Different Column Orientations under Seismic Wave Synthetic Approach

The significant impact of earthquakes on human lives and the built environment underscores the extensive human and economic losses caused by structural collapses. Over the years, researchers have focused on improving seismic design to mitigate earthquake-induced damages and enhance structural performance. In this study, a specific reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure at Kyungpook National University, designed for educational purposes, is analyzed as a representative case. Utilizing SAP 2000, the research conducts a nonlinear time history analysis to assess the structural performance under seismic conditions. The primary objective is to evaluate the influence of different column section designs, while maintaining identical column section areas, on structural behavior. The study employs two distinct seismic waves from Abeno (ABN) and Takatori (TKT) for the analysis, comparing the structural performance under varying seismic conditions. Key aspects examined include displacement, base shear force, base moment, joint radians, and layer displacement angle. This research is anticipated to serve as a valuable reference for seismic restraint reinforcement work on RC buildings, enriching the methods used for evaluating structures through nonlinear time history analysis based on the synthetic seismic wave approach.

TIME DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSES IN SATURATED PORO-ELASTO-PLASTIC MEDIUM

A time-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for dynamic analyses in saturated poro-elasto-plastic medium is proposed.As compared with the existing discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods,the distinct feature of the proposed method is that the continuity of the displacement vector at each discrete time instant is automatically ensured,whereas the discontinuity of the velocity vector at the discrete time levels still remains.The computational cost is then obviously reduced, particularly,for material non-linear problems.Both the implicit and explicit algorithms to solve the derived formulations for material non-linear problems are developed.Numerical results show a good performance of the present method in eliminating spurious numerical oscillations and providing with much more accurate solutions over the traditional Galerkin finite element method using the Newmark algorithm in the time domain.

Seismic elastic-plastic time history analysis and reliability study of quayside container crane

Quayside container crane is a kind of huge dimension steel structure,which is the major equipment used for handling container at modern ports.With the aim to validate the safety and reliability of the crane under seismic loads,besides conventional analysis,elastic-plastic time history analysis under rare seismic intensity is carried out.An ideal finite element（FEM） elastic-plastic mechanical model of the quayside container crane is presented by using ANSYS codes.Furthermore,according to elastic-plastic time history analysis theory,deformation,stress and damage pattern of the structure under rare seismic intensity are investigated.Based on the above analysis,the established reliability model according to the reliability theory,together with seismic reliability analysis based on Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to practical analysis.The results show that the overall structure of the quayside container crane is generally unstable under rare seismic intensity,and the structure needs to be reinforced.

Time history of seismic earth pressure response from gravity retaining wall based on energy dissipation

The seismic design of gravity retaining walls is based mostly on the pseudo static method.The seismic earth pressure is assumed to be a constant without considering the wave traveling effect when the seismic wave propagates through the slope.However,under continuous ground motion,the actual earth pressure on the retaining wall varies with time.The present seismic earth pressure calculation method yields results that differ significantly from the actual scenario.Considering this,a slip surface curve was assumed in this study.It is more suitable for engineering practice.In addition,a theoretical calculation model based on energy dissipation was established.The time history of seismic earth pressure response under continuous ground motion was calculated using the equilibrium equation between the external power and the internal energy dissipation power of the sliding soil wedge.It can more effectively reflect the stress scenario of a retaining wall under seismic conditions.To verify the applicability of the proposed approach,a large-scale shaking table test was conducted,and the time history of the seismic earth pressure response obtained from the experiment was compared with the calculation results.The results show that the proposed approach is applicable to the calculation of the time history of seismic earth pressure response of gravity retaining walls.This lays the foundation for the seismic design of retaining structures by using dynamic time history.

Time-history responses on the surface by regularly distributed enormous embedded cavities:Incident SH-waves

The time-history responses of the surface were obtained for a linear elastic half-plane including regularly distributed enormous embedded circular cavities subjected to propagating obliquely incident plane SH-waves. An advanced numerical approach named half-plane time-domain boundary element method（BEM）, which only located the meshes around the cavities, was used to create the model. By establishing the modified boundary integral equation（BIE）independently for each cavity and forming the matrices, the final coupled equation was solved step-by-step in the timedomain to obtain the boundary values. The responses were developed for a half-plane with 512 cavities. The amplification patterns were also obtained to illustrate the frequencydomain responses for some cases. According to the results,the presence of enormous cavities affects the scattering and diffraction of the waves arrived to the surface. The introduced method can be recommended for geotechnical/mechanical engineers to model structures in the fields of earthquake engineering and composite materials.

Time History Dynamic Analysis of a New Constructed Offshore Jacket Platform in Persian Gulf Due to Random Waves

API RP2AWSD is a design code in practice for design of jacket platforms in the Persian Gulf but is based on the Gulf of Mexico environmental condition. So for the sake of using this code for the Persian Gulf, it is better to perform a calibration based on this specific region. Analysis and design of jacket platforms based on API code are performed in a static manner and dynamic analysis is not recommended for such structures. Regarding the fact that the real behavior of the offshore jacket platforms is a dynamic behavior, so in this research, dynamic analysis for an offshore jacket platform in the Persian Gulf under extreme environmental condition is performed using random time domain method. Therefore, a new constructed offshore jacket platform in the Persian Gulf is selected and analyzed. Fifteen, 1-h storm, simulations for the water surface elevation is produced to capture the statistical properties of extreme sea condition. Time series of base shear and overturning moment are derived from both dynamic and static responses. By calculating the maximum dynamic amplification factor (DAF) from each simulation and fitting the collected data to Weibull distribution, the most probable maximum extreme (MPME) value for the DAF is achieved. Results show that a realistic value for DAF for this specific platform is 1.06, which is a notable value and is recommended to take into practice in design of fixed jacket platform in the Persian Gulf.

Generation of Time History Compatible with Multi-Damping Response Spectra

Based on the method developed by M. Hirasawa and M. Watabe (1992), the authors deduced the related mathematical formulas. Taking an artificial ground motion compatible with single-damping as the original time history, a small corrected time history was calculated by solving linear equations using a singular value decomposition method. We performed iteration to obtain the simulated earthquake motion compatible with multi-damping within a certain accuracy. The influences of selective matching frequencies are discussed preliminarily. Although the current criterion still has no explicit demand on different numbers of matching frequencies for various damping factors, it should be taken into account in practice.

A Time History Method for Analysing Operational Piping Vibrations

Vibration failure of piping is a serious problem and a matter of concern for safety and reliability of plant operations. Fatigue is the main cause of such failures. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon no closed form design solutions are available. In our study an analytical technique based on the theory of vibrations in the time domain has been presented. Using the inverse theory, the problem has been reduced to a system of Volterra Integral equations to be solved simultaneously at every time step. The solution of the inverse problem may be used in the conventional method to calculate stresses and end reactions which are important from the perspective of engineering design and condition monitoring. The method is robust, simple and can be easily adopted by practicing engineers.

Envelope Functions of Time Histories in Seismic Safety Evaluation and Scenario Earthquakes

It has been a period of time since the concept of scenario earthquake was proposed, but this concept has rarely been used in seismic safety evaluation in China since then. Meanwhile, because of the uncertainties of magnitudes-distances pairs, there is large arbitrariness while determining the envelope function of time histories in seismic hazard analysis. In this paper, we describe a method to control the envelope functions of the time histories by introducing the most-likely combinations of magnitude and distance of the scenario earthquakes based on a probabilistic method, revise the software of the ellipse model for seismic hazard analysis, and give a computation example.

Comparison between Response Spectrum and Time History Method of Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam

Dam structure built to store water has failed with resulting loss of life, social, economic and environmental losses due to seismic vibrations. These vibrations are dynamic in nature. These vibrations must be reduced with proper application of engineering principles and for estimating the behavior of concrete gravity dam dynamic analysis plays an extraordinary role. This paper presents the dynamic time history analysis and response spectrum method of a concrete gravity dam by using STAAD-PRO. Here Finite Element Approach is used to analyze the dam. A concrete gravity dam model is prepared in STAAD-PRO to perform the time history analysis and response spectrum analysis and a comparison is done between both these methods. Concrete gravity dam is a large structure which retains a very large amount of water on its upstream side and it is very crucial for a dam to survive against vibrations of earthquake. So it is a matter of study to check the behaviour of a dam during and after the application of the loading.

Laser absorption spectroscopy for high temperature H_2O time-history measurement at 2.55 μm during oxidation of hydrogen

Concentration time-histories of H20 were measured behind reflected shock waves during hydrogen combustion. Experiments were conducted at temperatures of 1117-1282 K, the equivalence ratios of 0.5 and 0.25, and a pressure at 2 atm using a mixture of H2/O2 highly diluted with argon. H2O was monitored using tunable mid-infrared diode laser absorption at 2.55 μm （3920.09 cm-1）. These time-histories provide kinetic targets to test and refine reaction mechanisms for hydrogen. Comparisons were made with the predictions of four detailed kinetic mechanisms published in the last four years. Such comparisons of H2O concentration profiles indicate that the AramcoMech 2.0 mechanism yields the best agreement with the experimental data, while CRECK, San Diego, and HP-Mech mechanisms show significantly poor predictions. Reaction pathway analysis for hydrogen oxidation indicates that the reaction H ＋ OH ＋ M = H20 ＋ M is the key reaction for controlling the H2O formation by hydrogen oxidation. It is inferred that the discrepancy of the conversion percentage from H to H20 among these four mechanisms induces the difference of performance on H2O time-history predictions. This work demonstrates the potential of time-history measurement for validation of large reaction mechanisms.

Generation and Application of A Standardized Load-Time History to Tubular T-joints in Offshore Platforms

Marine structures are mostly made of metals and always experience complex random loading during their service periods. The fatigue crack growth behaviors of metal materials have been proved from laboratory tests to be sensitive to the loading sequence encountered. In order to take account of the loading sequence effect, fatigue life prediction should be based on fatigue crack propagation（FCP） theory rather than the currently used cumulative fatigue damage（CFD） theory. A unified fatigue life prediction（UFLP） method for marine structures has been proposed by the authors＇ group. In order to apply the UFLP method for newly designed structures, authorities such as the classification societies should provide a standardized load-time history（SLH） such as the TWIST and FALSTAFF sequences for transport and fighter aircraft. This paper mainly aims at proposing a procedure to generate the SLHs for marine structures based on a short-term loading sample and to provide an illustration on how to use the presented SLH to a typical tubular T-joint in an offshore platform based on the UFLP method.

考虑材料时变性的服役中小跨径桥梁横向地震响应分析

构件材料性能会随服役时间的增加而退化,并导致桥梁结构抗震性能存在时变性。为探讨不同服役期下中小跨径桥梁抗震性能变化规律,以3跨预应力混凝土连续桥梁为例,通过分析材料力学性能指标时变性,量化不同服役期构件力学分析模型参数,并考虑桥墩、挡块及支座等构件力学性能退化,采用OpenSees软件建立桥梁有限元分析模型。基于非线性时程分析结果,揭示服役中小跨径桥梁横桥向地震响应时变性。研究结果表明,随着服役时间的增加,材料力学性能发生退化,使中小跨径桥梁各构件抗震能力下降;相同水平地震作用下,中小跨径桥梁主梁及挡块位移响应随服役时间的增加而降低,而桥墩损伤程度加剧,构件震害程度与不考虑构件力学性能时变性时相差较大,其中板式橡胶支座刚度及摩擦系数时变性是关键。因此,在服役中小跨径桥梁抗震分析中,有必要同时考虑桥墩、挡块及支座力学性能退化。

基于时程分析法的中美隔震设计对比研究

介绍了中国《建筑隔震设计标准》(GB/T 51408—2021)(以下简称《隔标》)和美国Minimum design loads and associated criteria for buildings and other structures(ASCE 7-16)隔震设计的相关要求,并针对基于《建筑抗震设计规范》(GB 50011—2010)(2016年版)(以下简称《抗规》)设计的某9度区近场隔震结构,进行了两国规范的设计对比。按《抗规》设计的隔震结构,仍然能满足《隔标》的设计要求。ASCE 7-16对于隔震支座考虑了老化和环境、测试、制造等因素引起的性能参数变化,并按隔震支座的上限及下限属性进行了结构设计。基于相同地震概率水准(50年超越概率2%)的设计对比研究表明,ASCE 7-16的等效侧力法计算值高于《隔标》,按ASCE 7-16要求选择的地震波反应谱明显高于《隔标》,其时程分析结果也大于中国规范,对隔震支座的性能要求更高。

基于三维隔震的穿越地裂缝地铁车站地震反应控制研究

穿越地裂缝地铁车站易发生严重地震破坏。文章基于地震动作用下地裂缝场地双向变形特征和结构破坏机理,探究穿越地裂缝地铁车站中柱三维隔震的适用性。考虑土与结构相互作用,建立穿越地裂缝地铁车站三维隔震结构数值模型。采用动力时程分析法,以无隔震与水平隔震结构为对比工况,研究穿越地裂缝地铁车站的三维隔震效果,并进一步揭示隔震机理。结果表明:单一的中柱水平隔震难以满足结构的地震反应控制需求;三维隔震支座不仅显著降低了中柱的地震反应,而且有效削弱了地震动作用下地裂缝上、下盘相对沉降对支座隔震效果和中柱抗震能力的不利影响,从而维持较高的减震水平;三维隔震后,车站结构侧墙内力增大而层间位移角的变化与其埋深、地震动强度与频谱特性等因素有关,车站结构顶、底板内力和变形均增大;车站结构抗震薄弱构件由中柱转变为顶板,而中柱和侧墙等竖向承载构件不发生严重地震破坏,避免结构倒塌。研究以期为地裂缝场地地下框架结构的灾变控制提供参考依据。

为探寻集体记忆的构建逻辑,洞察“小故事”与“大社会”之间的关联机制,遵循“故事—知识”的社会学研究传统,采用口述史访谈方法,结合文献资料和田野调查,对新疆兵团军垦体育的集体记忆进行考察,进一步勾勒出集体记忆“自下而上”实现“小故事与大社会”联结模型。个体基于我“动”故我在,实现身体在微观层面的自我确认,并基于价值信念对身体进行规训,在交往记忆中实现个体运动经验问题化,在中观层面积聚成群体意象,通过代表国家权力的专家系统进行认定,最终完成军垦集体记忆的建构。苦行的身体,家国同构的信仰与栖居的“记忆之场”共同促成集体记忆的建构。既有研究中,经验层面存在“时空在场”维度的忽视有可能导致文化阐释框架的毁坏而引起“记忆氛围”消失。由集体记忆理论进行对话来推进理论至经验研究的演绎进程,进一步丰富集体记忆研究的成果。
