Abstract
The self-centering friction-viscous device (SC-FVD) is a novel high-performance resilience system reducing the structural peak inter-story drift ratio (PISDR), residual inter-story drift ratio (RISDR), and peak floor acceleration (PFA). This study proposes a design method for high-rise SC-FVD braced steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) based on the machine learning algorithm, with the performance objectives of the probability of exceeding PISDR, RISDR, and PFA. First, an equivalent multi-degree-of-freedom shear model is established, and a lateral load distribution model is established based on the XGBoost algorithm using hyperparameters optimized by the genetic algorithm (XGBoost-GA algorithm). The probability distribution models of peak inter-story displacement (PISD), residual inter-story displacement (RISD), and PFA ratios are then established, and the influence of design parameters on the probabilistic PISD, RISD, and PFA ratios is studied. Subsequently, a prediction model for the mean and variance of PISD, RISD, and PFA ratios is established using the XGBoost-GA algorithm. Finally, the design method with the probability of exceeding PISDR, RISDR, and PFA as performance objectives is proposed and validated through different height structures with different probability objectives. The results indicate that the revised Eurocode lateral load distribution model results in a more uniform PISDR distribution than the revised ASCE, unrevised Eurocode, and unrevised ASCE lateral load distribution models. The prediction models for the revised Eurocode load distribution model, as well as the mean and variance of the PISD, RISD, and PFA ratios, based on the XGBoost-GA algorithm, are highly accurate, with a determination coefficient of mostly above 0.99. The actual performance of the designed structure is close to the predicted probability performance, with the probability error falling within 10 %, confirming the effectiveness of the design method.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
