Abstract
This paper introduces a methodology for developing collapse fragility curves for windstorms, with a focus on assessing collapse of electrical transmission towers for hurricane events. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) that incorporates the entire hurricane duration is adopted for collapse modeling. Fragility curves are cumulative distribution functions of a structural limit state such as collapse capacity, which is designated in this work as the intensity measure associated with the onset of collapse. A suite of selected hurricane wind records are used with IDA to propagate uncertainties from wind speeds, directions, and durations to collapse capacities. Compared with earthquake engineering methodologies, this work proposes appropriate approaches for scaling of wind records, fitting of IDA curves from simulation data, and parameter estimation of hurricane fragility curves. Fragility curves are appropriate for use both to quantify uncertainty in the context of performance-based wind design and for regional loss assessments. As inelastic deformations are allowed in performance-based wind design, it is useful to develop fragility curves based on nonlinear time history analysis for the entire windstorm duration, which has not been addressed in prior work.
本文介绍了一种开发风灾倒塌脆性曲线的方法,重点是评估飓风事件中输电塔的倒塌情况。倒塌建模采用了包含整个飓风持续时间的增量动态分析 (IDA)。脆性曲线是结构极限状态(如倒塌能力)的累积分布函数,在这项工作中被指定为与倒塌开始相关的强度测量值。一套选定的飓风记录与 IDA 配合使用,可将不确定性从风速、风向和持续时间传播到倒塌能力。与地震工程方法相比,这项工作提出了适当的方法来缩放风记录、根据模拟数据拟合 IDA 曲线以及估算飓风脆性曲线的参数。脆性曲线既适合用于量化基于性能的风力设计中的不确定性,也适合用于区域损失评估。由于基于性能的风力设计允许非弹性变形,因此基于整个暴风持续时间的非线性时间历程分析来开发脆度曲线是非常有用的,而这在之前的工作中还没有涉及。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
