Abstract
This paper presents the investigation results of a base-isolated RC frame-shear wall structure located in Luding County, Sichuan Province, China, which was damaged by a Ms 6.8 earthquake on September 5, 2022. This recently constructed school office building was about 9 km away from the epicenter. The isolation layer of this building consists of 54 rubber bearings and 12 viscous dampers. These viscous dampers or their connections failed during the earthquake, and the limit state included connection breaking or global buckling of the damper. Also, the superstructure suffered some minor damage. To investigate the cause of structural damages, a nonlinear time-history analysis is conducted using the ground motions recorded by four seismic stations close to the building. The onsite investigation and numerical simulation results revealed the possible reasons for the failure.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities attempts to improve the quality of the constructed product through interdisciplinary communication. Papers examine the causes and consequences of failures and other performance problems.
The principal purpose of the Journal is to disseminate information on failures and performance deficiencies of constructed facilities. The term “failures” in this context may mean catastrophic events, but also includes any performance deficiency from which a significant lesson can be learned, such as serviceability problems. Both the technical causes and procedural causes of failures are of interest. Procedural causes include human errors in design, construction, and/or operation that allow the failures to occur.
The Journal welcomes manuscripts that deal with failures, methods of investigation of failures, special techniques for failure investigations, reconstruction and repair, and issues of ethics.
