Therefore, a core‐outrigger system is often used to stiffen such buildings. A modified form, known as the damped outrigger system, wherein vertically oriented dampers are installed between outriggers and perimeter columns, has been recently developed to supplement the damping. This paper studies the efficacy of a viscously damped outrigger system through dynamic analysis of a 60‐story tall building subjected to nonconcurrent earthquake and wind excitations. Two ground motion sets (100 accelerograms) are used for the former and wind tunnel test data for the latter. Effects of three building parameters, namely, (i) the core‐to‐column stiffness ratio, (ii) the outrigger location, and (iii) the damper size, on the dynamic characteristics and seismic and wind responses are evaluated. Effects of damper nonlinearity on seismic and wind responses are also investigated considering energy‐equivalent nonlinear viscous dampers. Finally, the optimum values of these parameters are determined. For example, the optimum outrigger location is found to be between 0.6H to 0.9H , where H is the height of the building. The results also show that the damped outrigger system significantly outperforms the conventional one for seismic excitation, and it is very effective in reducing the wind‐induced floor accelerations, provided the parameters are chosen appropriately.","PeriodicalId":49470,"journal":{"name":"Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42057463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it has a broad range of applications than CFST members in the marine environment and other scenarios requiring great durability and corrosion resistance. However, there are limited researches on the large‐sized CFSST members. In this paper, 30 circular CFSST members with varying steel ratios (3.7% ≤ α ≤ 10.3%), diameters (500 mm ≤ D ≤ 900 mm), and strength of concrete ( fcu = 40 MPa, 50 MPa) are studied on the size effect under axial compression. For peak axial stress, peak axial strain, and composite elastic modulus, size effects are investigated. According to the results, the peak axial stress and peak axial strain of the members increase with the increase in diameter. The modulus of composite elasticity essentially stays constant as the diameter increases, showing that there is no obvious size effect on the composite elastic modulus. The size effect of peak axial stress and peak axial strain is influenced by the steel ratio. Increasing the steel ratio tended to decrease the size effect. According to the generated data, it was found that the current codes of Chinese and European underestimate the ultimate bearing capacity of CFSST short columns significantly. To this end, the resistances of the large‐sized austenitic CFSST columns with a low steel ratio are well predicted by the proposed design model after being modified, based on GB 50936‐2014 and EN 1994‐1‐1 design codes.","PeriodicalId":49470,"journal":{"name":"Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41715281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Square‐HSS cross‐section widely used in multistory frames is filled with concrete and converted to square‐CFT cross‐section to enhance the behavior of this cross‐section. However, some investigations indicated that circular‐HSS cross‐section filled with concrete (circular‐CFT) showed better behavior in comparison with square‐CFT cross‐section due to more uniform and larger concrete confinement in circular‐CFT cross‐section. The current study was experimentally undertaken to evaluate (1) the seismic performance and the global and local hysteresis responses of HSS and CFT members with various cross‐section shapes from initial elastic range to collapse in the system level of multistory SCBFs, (2) the behavioral differences between square cross‐section and circular cross‐section, and (3) the behavioral differences between HSS cross‐sections and CFT cross‐sections employed in the columns and braces of SCBFs. Four full‐scale one‐bay, two‐story SCBFs with four various cross‐sections, namely, square‐HSS, circular‐HSS, square‐CFT, and circular‐CFT, for columns and braces were subjected to cyclic lateral loading. Evaluating base shear–roof drift hysteretic loops of SCBF specimens demonstrated that SCBF specimens with CFT columns and braces (CFT‐SCBFs) experienced respectively around 107%, 58%, 28%, and 152% higher stiffness, post‐yielding and post‐buckling strengths, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity than SCBF specimens with HSS columns and braces (HSS‐SCBF). In addition, the experimental observations indicated that CFT braces experienced local buckling initiation, crack initiation, and fracture at respectively 2.22, 2.35, and 2.32 times of roof drifts of those exhibited by HSS braces. Moreover, assessing braces with various cross‐sections indicated that CFT braces showed an increase in compression strength, post‐buckling strength, compression axial deformation, and out‐of‐plane buckling approximately by 83%, 152%, 127%, and 100%, respectively, in comparison with HSS braces.

The results showed that the high‐strength recycled concrete columns have potential to collapse‐resistance capacity subjected to strong earthquakes. Under the similar concrete strengths, the mechanical properties of high‐strength recycled aggregate concrete columns and ordinary concrete columns were comparable even under high ACR. As the ACR increased from 0.35 to 0.54, the bearing capacity increased by up to 12.6%, while the ductility decreased by up to 32.8%.

However, during several earthquakes, concrete edge failure of roof joint observed in several previous earthquakes shows potential collapse damage of the large‐span structures. This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the performance of roof joints under quasi‐static cyclic loading. The effects of concrete edge distance of anchor rods and using horizontally slotted holes in the base plate were investigated and discussed by means of ultimate shear resistances, failure modes, hysteretic responses, anchor strains, and stirrup strains. It was found that concrete edge failure was prone to occur if the edge distance was taken as per current design practice. However, with the use of slotted holes in the base plate, the concrete edge failure could be suppressed due to the sliding between the base plate and the mortar layer. A refined theoretical model was proposed to evaluate the ultimate shear resistance and predict the failure mode. Finite Element Models (FEMs) were also developed to verify the proposed theoretical model in terms of the ultimate shear resistance and the failure mode under both monotonic and cyclic loading.","PeriodicalId":49470,"journal":{"name":"Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43873022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corrugated plates offer various advantages over flat plates including higher energy dissipation capacity, ductility, out‐of‐plane stiffness, and improved buckling stability. For seismic control and isolation techniques, low yield point (LYP) steels (LY100, LY160, and LY225) are the reliable and ideal energy‐dissipating materials. The low yield point CSPSWs combine high energy‐consuming materials with high‐performance structures to provide a better solution for ductile and seismic resistance of high‐rise and super tall buildings. Currently, there are no design codes addressing the seismic performance of LYP corrugated steel plate shear walls (CSPSWs). This study investigates cyclic behavior and energy dissipation performance of corrugated steel plate yield point (100, 160, 225, 235, and 345 MPa) of different thickness CSPSWs and determine the plate yield point that provides the optimum performance. Results and findings of this study reveal that compared with the ordinary yield strength corrugated steel plates, the low yield point CSPSWs have a larger safety factor of lateral bearing capacity, a fuller hysteresis curve, a strong energy dissipation coefficient, a larger ductility coefficient and a smaller fluctuation range of strength degradation coefficient, and better strength stability. The initial equivalent stiffness of CSPSWs with different yield strengths is the same.","PeriodicalId":49470,"journal":{"name":"Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47733707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shear walls with a high ductility level and different aspect ratios are examined to evaluate the design shear force calculated by using the dynamic amplification factor (βv) and overstrength factor (D) defined in TBEC‐2018. For this purpose, response spectrum analyses (RSAs) are first carried out on two‐dimensional cantilever shear walls with heights of 30, 45, and 60 m and with lengths of 1.5, 3, and 4.5 m in the plan. Then, a total of 198 nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHAs) are performed with real and simulated ground motions matched to the elastic design spectrum defined in TBEC‐2018. The comparison of the design shear forces obtained from RSA and the shear demands obtained from NLTHA along the heights of the walls reveals that the design shear forces calculated according to TBEC‐2018 may underestimate the actual shear demands from studied ground motions.
