LIU Yihe,DONG Zhiqian,LI Gang.Simplified Collapse‑Prevention Assessment Method for Steel Low‑Ductility Concentrically Braced Frames[J].Journal of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Engineering,2022,42(01):135-141.
In order to quantify the collapse resistance of the low-ductility concentrically-braced frame (CBF) structure under different design parameters, this paper calculates the structural vulnerability under different earthquake loads based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method and analyzes the influence of design parameters such as reserve capacity, reserve stiffness, structural period, and response modification factor. According to the calculation results, the fitted formulas of the collapse margin ratio of the low-ductility CBF under different parameters are proposed, and a simplified method for evaluating the collapse-prevention capacity of the CBF structure based on the proposed formula is established. This method can quickly quantify the collapse performance of the low-ductility CBF. The applicability of this method is verified by a numerical example. Results show that the proposed method is accurate and applicable. It can be used for the collapse-prevention capacity evaluation and design of the CBF structure.
