Modularized prefabricated steel structure has some obvious advantages, such as fast construction, industrial-scale production and environment-friendliness. Although it has been used for low-rise buildings, its applications in high-rise buildings are quite less. The elastic-plastic time-history analysis under rare earthquake conditions is performed on a 30-floor building. The changing law of the base shear force, the story drift angle, the stress, the damage characteristics, etc. are studied. According to the theoretical analysis, the finite element simulation and the model test, the design methods and the relevant formulas regarding the elastic and elastic-plastic properties of the beam-column connection joints, the column flange joints and the inclined brace joints are proposed in this paper.

Steel Frame Structure

Modularized prefabricated steel structures have certain obvious advantages, i.e., rapid construction, industrial-scale production and pro-environmental aspects, and are the main method in industrialization of steel structures. Although applications of these structures have been reported all over the world, in most cases, the steel structural systems are only suitable for low-rise buildings, and their application in high-rise buildings is quite limited. This paper proposes a new type of modularized prefabricated high-rise steel frame structure with inclined braces. Based on the T30 hotel building, the mechanical properties, failure mode, failure mechanism and elastic-plastic development laws are investigated by using the elastic design of a structure under various load conditions, the analysis of the internal force and displacement responses under frequent earthquakes via the response spectrum method and linear time-history analysis, the static elastic-plastic pushover analysis under rare earthquake conditions. According to finite element simulations and testing, elastic and elastic-plastic structural design methods are proposed in this paper. This work provides an important reference for research and design of the same type of modularized prefabricated high-rise steel structures, and the design method has been compiled into design specification.

Steel Frame Structure

Modularized prefabricated steel structures have become the preferred design in the industrialization of steel structures due to their advantages of fast construction speed, high degree of industrialization, low labour intensity, and more. Prefabricated steel structures have some engineering applications, but all are low-rise structures with few applications in the field of high-rise buildings. Using finite element analysis with line and solid elements, full-scale experiments were conducted to study the single-span frame, which is the core load-bearing part of a modularized prefabricated high-rise steel frame structure with inclined braces. The mechanical mechanisms, computation methods, and design formulas of truss girders were obtained by comparing the finite element and model experiments and building a theoretical and experimental basis for the compilation of design codes. The mechanical characteristics under design load, the deformation and stress state, the elastic-plastic law of development, and the yield failure mode and mechanism under horizontal ultimate load were also obtained. Based on theoretical analysis, finite element analysis, and experiments, the design method of this frame was summarized and incorporated into the design code.

This paper explores the design method of several typical mega plane frames, with the variables being the combination of varying amplification coefficient of moment at bottom sections of ground floor columns of the secondary frame on the main beams. The elastic-plastic dynamic analysis program Drain-2d+ of the plane structure is used to carry out the elastic-plastic time-history analysis for each typical mega-frame under the earthquake action. Based on the analysis, the deformation characteristics of the mega-frame, the emerging of the plastic hinge and the weak point of the overall structure under the earthquake action is developed, from which the correct method of obtaining the design value of amplification coefficient of moments at bottom sections of ground floor columns of the secondary frame on the main beams is concluded. The reasonable design values are recommended as the basis to provide some suggestions for the design of the reinforced concrete mega-frame structure.

This paper presents the performance of base-isolated steel structures under the seismic load. The main goals of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness of base isolation systems for steel structures against earthquake loads; to verify the modal analysis of steel frame compared with the hand calculation results; and development of a simulating method for base-isolated structure’s responses. Two models were considered in this study, one a steel structure with base-isolated and the other without base-isolated system. The nonlinear time-history analysis of both structures under El Centro 1940 seismic ground motion was used based on finite element method through SAP2000. The mentioned frames were analyzed by Eigenvalue method for linear analysis and Ritz-vector method for nonlinear analysis. Simulation results were presented as time-acceleration graphs for each story, period and frequency of both structures for the first three modes.

Design Strength

Steel bolt groups are often used for joining steel structures. The design strength of the steel bolt group is related to the geometric distribution, the eccentric load distance, the material strength and the load angle, thus making the analysis complicated and not easy for the user. The existing analysis methods are two kinds of elasticity and ultimate analysis. Both methods consider the stress distribution of each steel bolt and find the steel bolt at the critical position is obtained, the design load analysis is deduced. This study will consider the geometric distribution of steel bolting group affected, for a row, two rows, three rows and four rows of bolt group, considering different eccentric distance and angle of influence. Using a simple elastic analysis method to Studied the strength analysis results produced when a corner bolt is damaged due to a defect. The results show that the greater the eccentric load distance, the lower the design strength, and the load change on the vertical is more obvious than the horizontal. When the corner of the steel bolt group is removed, its design strength is likely to decrease, but at low eccentricity distance and large angles, the strength of the complete bolt is higher. This study organizes the design method of steel bolts and reviews the geometric rules of the bolt group analysis. It founded that the regular geometry needs to be reviewed in the case of large eccentric loads with small eccentricities. This study for the bolt connections strength of a certain understanding and awareness, expect the future for the safety of steel structure contribute.

Earthquake is considered as the main destructive and collapsing factor of structures in near-fault zones, so design new structures and retrofitting existing structures in order to decrease structural responses is an unavoidable matter. One of the structural response reduction methods is using of TMDs. In this paper, a two-dimensional 10-storey steel structure as three structural models without PTMD, with a PTMD at the highest level and ten PTMDs with different characteristics at all levels with the Modal-FNA time-history analysis method under acceleration records with directivity and without directivity of Parkfield 2004 earthquake at the angle of the maximum acceleration response in the first mode period of structure after rotating the acceleration records at the station with directivity and its corresponding angle at the station without directivity were compared to each other in terms of the roof displacement, the input energy and the base shear. It was observed that the structure behavior in the case of using only one PTMD is better, but in the case where ten PTMDs with relative smaller masses were used compared to the case where only one PTMD was used is also with roof displacement reduction.

Diagrid tube structures have advantages on constructing high-rise buildings for its great lateral stiffness, but its seismic design methodology researches are limited. The two-stage design method in Chinese code is not specific enough for the seismic fortification objectives of this kind of structures. It is necessary to propose some specific seismic performance objectives for the key components. Typical CFST diagrid tube-concrete core tube structures are studied by dynamic elastic-plastic time-history analysis using Perform-3D program. The structure plasticity developing process is summarized and the distribution characteristics of seismic fortification lines between tubes are discussed. The influences of main structure lateral stiffness related factors on the plasticity developing process are researched. The key components of structure lateral stiffness and plastic energy dissipation are studied. The seismic performance objectives of the key components are proposed for the three-level seismic fortification objectives.
