Abstract
Current seismic practices are more concerned with dissipating a significant portion of seismic input energy than with lateral load resistance, as well as with determining seismic demands of structures using response spectra. This study aims to improve the knowledge of the plastic energy spectra ( EP ) of single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems (SDOF) equipped with fluid viscous dampers (FVDs). This type of dampers is characterized by its supplemental damping ratio ξadd and velocity power α . Using nonlinear dynamic analyses, the EP and its ratio to the input energy ( EP/EI ) are determined using near‐field‐pulse, near‐field‐non‐pulse and far‐field ground motions. Parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effect of ground motion types, original system features and FVD characteristics on EP/EI spectra. The results show that ground motion types have a considerable influence on the EP/EI for systems with FVDs, while they are not effective for systems without FVDs. Increasing FVD nonlinearity (decreasing α) is more effective to reduce the EP/EI under near‐field‐non‐pulse and far‐field motions than under near‐field‐pulse ground motions for structures with Tn > 1 s. The paper further developed a prediction equation for estimating EP/EI for SDOF systems without and with FVDs, which can serve as a useful tool to analyse structural damage for energy‐based seismic design.
期刊介绍:
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor''s policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.
The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.
However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.
