Abstract
Response spectrum method (RSM) is one of the practical methods for seismic analysis and design of aboveground structures, which has been widely used in engineering design. Modal analysis is the most fundamental and time-consuming step of the RSM, and its direct application to three-dimensional (3D) soil-structure interaction (SSI) system will result in low efficiency of the RSM because the modal analysis results contain a large number of useless soil modes. To address these challenges, an efficient method for calculating the effective frequencies and modes that control the seismic response of the structure in 3D SSI systems is firstly developed based on iterative static analysis. This method can directly obtain the effective frequencies and modes and avoid the modal analysis of the whole SSI system. Subsequently, the influence of different site shear wave velocity and the presence of adjacent underground structures with different cross-sections on the effective frequencies of aboveground structures are investigated by the developed method. Finally, an RSM based on effective frequencies and modes considering the SSI is developed for seismic response analysis of 3D aboveground structures. Examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RSM in the seismic analysis of complex aboveground structures.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to encourage and enhance the role of mechanics and other disciplines as they relate to earthquake engineering by providing opportunities for the publication of the work of applied mathematicians, engineers and other applied scientists involved in solving problems closely related to the field of earthquake engineering and geotechnical earthquake engineering.
Emphasis is placed on new concepts and techniques, but case histories will also be published if they enhance the presentation and understanding of new technical concepts.
