The reactor core is composed of prismatic graphite blocks stacked in columns using shear keys. Under earthquake shaking, the dynamic response of a column of blocks is influenced by multiple factors, including rigid-body rocking of the blocks, graphite-to-graphite friction, horizontal and vertical clearances around the shear keys, energy dissipation at contact points, kinematic constraints, and block uplift and disengagement. These effects were characterized through vibration and seismic tests conducted on standalone columns of keyed graphite blocks at the University at Buffalo. The resulting data provided critical insights into their rocking behavior, supporting the development and validation of numerical models for the seismic analysis of these graphite assemblies, as described in this paper.

Efforts in nonlinear structural modeling have been made since the 1960s, with the latest models having increased complexity. This paper uses data collected from two reinforced concrete specimens built at full scale and tested in the National Science Foundation-funded single-axis Large High-Performance Outdoor Shake Table of the University of California at San Diego. The strain rates derived from strain gauge readings placed in longitudinal bars undergoing plastic deformations in the plastic hinge regions of these two specimens were derived and characterized. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that reports and characterizes the strain rates recorded on longitudinal bars in plastic hinge regions of full-scale reinforced concrete specimens subjected to strong input ground motions. Test observations indicate strain rates can be high when the Lüders bands nucleate and traverse the strain gauges. The strain rate in one of the specimens reached 44%/s. Once the Lüders bands had fully developed, strain rates reached nearly 20%/s, which was still significant. Most current computational models developed to assess the seismic response of reinforced concrete structures neglect the strain rate dependency of reinforcing steel. If constitutive stress–strain relationships were made strain rate dependent, the fraction of the empirically prescribed damping in the models could be reduced.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 8","pages":"2134-2151"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many studies have shown that actual damping levels vary depending on the building characteristics and soil conditions, and methodologies used in measurements of damping in the field. Reported inherent damping values range from 1% to more than 5% for the fundamental mode of vibration. This study investigates the effects on the computed seismic performance of the assumed level and form of inherent damping in nonlinear response history analysis, focusing on seismically isolated and non-isolated buildings with special moment-resisting and concentrically braced frames. The seismic isolation systems considered are sliding friction pendulum type. The findings demonstrate that the assumed value of inherent damping has an impact on the computed floor accelerations, affecting acceleration-sensitive non-structural components, particularly with periods less than 1 s. Collapse probabilities of isolated buildings are minimally affected by the assumption of inherent damping, leading to simplifying modeling for collapse-focused analyses. Comparative studies involving conventional non-isolated buildings reveal significant sensitivity to inherent damping values across various metrics, including floor accelerations, peak story drift ratios, residual drift ratios, and collapse probabilities. It is shown that non-isolated building models exhibit reduced sensitivity of collapse probabilities and floor spectral accelerations when inherent damping is specified using different methods—specifically, capped viscous damping as compared to modal damping. This highlights that while the performance of seismically isolated buildings shows relatively small sensitivity to the model of inherent damping, non-isolated buildings exhibit notable differences.</p>","PeriodicalId":11390,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics","volume":"54 9","pages":"2155-2171"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eqe.4355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, the complexities associated with imperfect interfaces have often been overlooked in the development of analytical frameworks, which tend to prioritize simple yet effective closed-form dispersion laws. This work provides a further step toward the analytical study of meta-foundations under real-world conditions by incorporating the effects of imperfect interfaces. Our developed framework demonstrates that accounting for interface effects markedly enhances ultra-low-frequency wave attenuation in meta-foundations, as revealed through complex dispersion analysis and verified by transmission analysis of finite-sized meta-foundations. This enhancement is achieved by modifying the stiffness and mass of the interfaces, which affects both the location and width of frequency attenuation zones (AZs) and improves wave attenuation within these frequency domains. Overall, our meta-foundations that incorporate interface effects demonstrate superior performance compared to traditional meta-foundations.

In order to achieve this, a comparative analysis is conducted between a high-complexity reference model and lower-complexity models. The reference model incorporates three-dimensional seismic inputs using the domain reduction method (DRM) and a detailed structural model accounting for material nonlinear behavior. The complexity of the models is systematically reduced to assess the effects of different soil–structure interaction (SSI) modeling assumptions. These assumptions include the use of DRM and plane-wave (PW) input, and also the exclusion of SSI through fixed-base (FB) conditions. For each model, both linear and nonlinear material behaviors are considered. Given the lack of historical records from the SRF, the study employs source-to-structure physical simulation to address seismic performance evaluation as well as its sensitivity to modeling.

With respect to the reference model, findings indicate that PW assumptions moderately increase uncertainty across different engineering demand parameters (EDPs) and analysis directions. Conversely, FB conditions significantly elevate modeling uncertainty, drastically changing the mean and variance of computed EDPs. A simple EDP sensitivity score is proposed to compare the statistics of computed EDPs, from which a global performance-score is constructed for ranking of models with respect to the reference model. The ranking shows that linear FB models may outperform non-linear FB models, highlighting a complex and nonintuitive relationship between structural nonlinearity and soil flexibility modeling on uncertainty. There are also indications that high-complexity modeling, accounting for the spatio-temporal complexities of the seismic wave-field through the DRM, is needed for responses quantities sensitive to high frequencies.

The control system of the test system allows for mixed-mode control of applied boundary conditions meaning that some DOFs can be controlled in force while the remaining are controlled in displacement. The control system relies on a kinematic model of the system and compensates for the elastic deformation of the crosshead and the backlash in the actuator clevises. The capabilities of the facility are demonstrated with two experimental campaigns on reinforced concrete shear walls, which comprise in-plane quasi-static cyclic testing and HS of nominally identical axially loaded specimens. One of the campaigns studied the transition between flexure and rocking behavior modes in specimens with spliced reinforcement, whereas the other addressed the transition between shear and sliding behavior modes. A comparison between the testing protocols revealed that the specimens tested in HS using a ground motion excitation had a larger displacement capacity than the nominally identical specimens tested using a quasi-static cycling test protocol.
