Abstract

En 中文

The mega-sub controlled structure system with laminate rubber bearings is an emerging seismic control system for high-rise buildings. The system is high-order statically indeterminate with numerous failure modes. To study the failure modes of the structural system and further improve its seismic performance, the dynamic equations and the finite element model of the system were established. Ten different ground motions were selected from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center ground motion database for the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). Based on the results of the IDA, the weakest failure mode of the system was identified, and its failure path was found. Two schemes were proposed to optimize the weakest failure mode of the system, and the optimization results were compared. The results show that although the IDA curves from different ground motion inputs are diverse, the plastic hinges are all formed on the sub-structures. Failures of the system are caused by either the excessive floor drift or the excessive shear deformation of rubber bearings. By adjusting the locations and parameters of dampers and rubber bearings, the seismic performance of the system can be improved.
