A controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame is a new type of vibration control structure system that uses resilient rocking columns and joints. The effects of earthquakes on this type of structure are reduced by weakening the overall stiffness, whereas the lateral displacement is controlled by the energy-dissipation dampers introduced into the structure. Two tests were performed for research: the reversed cyclic loading test and shaking table test. Two single-span single-story controlled rocking reinforced concrete frames were designed for reversed cyclic loading tests. These tests (i.e. a column-base joint stiffness test, beam-column joint stiffness test, and frame stiffness test) were performed under different conditions. The mechanical analysis model of the rocking joints was derived from the test results. With the parameters obtained from the cyclic tests, a numerical simulation method that established the analytical model of the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame using the program ABAQUS is proposed, and the dynamic time-history analysis results of the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame and of the conventional approach are compared to investigate the vibration control effect and seismic performance of the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame. In addition, the inter-story drift could be effectively controlled by adding metallic dampers, and the shaking table test models of the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame with metallic dampers were designed and constructed. The comparison of the results of the numerical analysis and the shaking table test demonstrates that the model building of the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame structure is efficient and that the controlled rocking reinforced concrete frame exhibits an excellent seismic performance.

Reinforced concrete eccentric frame-shear wall structure has been widely used in engineering. However, this structure is mainly used for high-rise structure, and it is difficult to obtain accurate earthquake response of structure through experimental study. Therefore, simulation software needs to be used for study on seismic performance of high-rise structures. This paper produces useful conclusions for the project through shaking table test and the simulation of seismic performance provided by ANSYS finite element analysis software.

Hysteretic Performance

In order to study the seismic performance of precast short-leg shear wall connected by grouting sleeves (PSSW), the three-dimensional numerical model was established by using the experiment of PSSW subjected to low cyclic loading. Based on good agreement between numerical results and experimental results, the numerical analysis models with different structural parameters of axial compression ratio and splicing position were designed in detail, and the effects of various parameters on the seismic performance of PSSW were analyzed. The results show that the PSSW exhibits wide and stable hysteresis loops, indicating a satisfactory hysteretic performance and an excellent energy consumption capacity. With the increase of the axial compression ratio, the shear capacity of horizontal splice seam is improved, but the ductility coefficient and total energy consumption decrease obviously. The most disadvantageous position of PSSW can be effectively avoided by changing the position of the post pouring seam. The bearing capacity of the specimens is basically stable, and the energy consumption increases significantly, so the post pouring seam of precast wall is recommended to be far away from the bottom section of the wall. In addition, the failure mechanism of different splicing positions was analyzed in detail.

A reduced-scale model of 7-story reinforced concrete shear wall structure is made. Shaking-table test of the model is carried out. Two test conditions are considered. In the first condition, fixed base is used. In another condition, soil structure interaction is considered. According to the experimental results, the dynamic characteristic and seismic performance of shear wall structure is studied. The acceleration time history response of model structure is obtained. Based on the time-history response, the dynamic characteristics of model structure are studied by spectrum analysis. The Finite Element Model of actural structure is established by ANSYS. The dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of actural structure are studied. By comparing the experiment results and numerical analysis results under the fixed-base condition, the rationality of the ANSYS model and numerical analysis method of are verified.

Pillar electrical equipment is an important part of substations. The application of composite materials in pillar equipment can facilitate the improvement of the seismic performance of electrical equipment. In this paper, the test of elastic modulus and bending rigidity was conducted for individual composite elements in insulators and arresters, and the calculation formula for bending rigidity at the composite flange cementing connections was put forward. The numerical simulation model for the earthquake simulation shaking table test of ±1,100 kV composite pillar insulators was established, in which the bending rigidity value for the flange cementing part was obtained by the test or calculation formula. The numerical simulation results were compared with the earthquake simulation shaking table test results, the dynamic characteristics and seismic response of the model were compared, respectively, the validity of the proposed calculation formula for flange bending rigidity of composite cementing parts was verified, and a convenient and effective means was provided for calculating the seismic performance of composite electrical equipment.

Shaking Table Model Test

A building developed by Wuhan Shimao Group in Wuhan, China, is a high-rise residence with 56 stories near the Yangtze River. The building is a reinforced concrete structure, featuring with a nonregular T-type plane and a height 179.6 m, which is out of the restrictions specified by the China Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of Tall Building (JGJ3-2010). To investigate its seismic performance, a shaking table test with a 1/30 scale model is carried out in Structural Laboratory in Wuhan University of Technology. The dynamic characteristics and the responses of the model subject to different seismic intensities are investigated via the analyzing of shaking table test data and the observed cracking pattern of the scaled model. Finite element analysis of the shaking table model is also established, and the results are coincident well with the test. An autoregressive method is also presented to identify the damage of the structure after suffering from different waves, and the results coincide well with the test and numerical simulation. The shaking table model test, numerical analysis, and damage identification prove that this building is well designed and can be safely put into use. Suggestions and measures to improve the seismic performance of structures are also presented.
