Q3: How to achieve ductile responses of Q3: How to achieve ductile responses of steel building structures? steel building structures?

““FuseFuse”” concept for developing ductile behaviorconcept for developing ductile behavior

• Choose frame elements ("fuses") that will yield in an earthquake.

• Detail "fuses" to sustain large inelastic deformations prior to the onset of fracture or instability (i.e. , detail fuses for ductility).

• Design all other frame elements to be stronger than the fuses, i.e., design all other frame elements to develop the plastic capacity of the fuses.

In general, the common building steel

structures are designed to keep elastic when subjected to the influence of frequently occurred earthquake, while when subjected to expected rare earthquake the structure should keep their capacity to prevent from collapse.

The main components to resist horizontal earthquake action are the bracing or shear wall. The braced frame structure system can generally divided as concentrically braced frame (CBF) and eccentrically braced frame (EBF).

Plan Profile

Concentrically braced frame (CBF):The central lines of the members: column, beam and brace, which are connected in one joint, are through the same point .

4. Expansion joint To avoid irregularities of the building frame system, the gaps required to the expansion joint in steel structures should be set 1.5 times of that in RC structures.

5. Layout of structural system

During the expected rare earthquake, the damage to the structurecan be accepted but the structure should keep stable even after the structural damage happens, in order that the gravity loads can be still supported by the structure.

8.2.2 Requirement for arrangement of steel structural systems

a) b)

The plastic hinge mechanism which occurs in most of beam ends is an ideal failure mode, because it is able to dissipate more energy than the column collapse mode .

Figure 8.12 Plastic hinge mechanism

Ideal failure mode

2) In CBF structures, the lateral forces are mainly supported by braces because braces provide most of the lateral stiffness. So the bracing is the first resistant line.

3) In EBF structures, the link will be expected to develop plastic hinge firstly, here links conform the first line.

1) Beams should be considered the first line to defend against earthquake in moment resisting frame, therefore, the ‘strong column and weak beam type’ is usually preferred.

6. Resistant lines

5. Enough rigid floor system

Composite slab and concrete slab cast-in-place are prior to others because these slabs can afford enough stiffness in the floor plane which assures frames work as an entity.

(1)Build a calculation model;

(2)Determine the parameters, including earthquake action factor, periods, modes, damping ratio, etc.

(3)Calculate the earthquake action. Three methods can be used.

(4)Seismic checking for the members, connecters, and bases;

(5)Displacement checking;

8.2.3 Computation of earthquake action1. Damping ration By the experience, the seismic design code

recommends that:n when the action of frequently occurred earthquake is to

be computed, the damping factor can be taken as 0.04 if the building is less than 50m,

n while 0.03 if the building is more than 50m but less than 200m,

n and 0.02 when the building exceeds 200m.n when expected rare earthquake is considered, the

damping factor is taken as 0.05.

2. P-Delta effect : Second order effect To any story, if the second order moment which is computed by the product of gravity load over the story and the storey drift is greater one tenth of the overturning moment which produced by storey shear force timing the storey drift, P-Delta effect should be considered in the computation results.

c) Additional moment due to second order effect of vertical load

b) Storey moment by horizontal load

a) Analsis model

3. Lateral displacement and the limitation of the storey driftThe storey drift limitations for middle and high rise building steel structures are 1/250 when considering the frequently occurred earthquake; andn 1/50 when considering the rare occurred earthquake respectively, specified by design code.

1) 25 percent of the total base shear, and

2) 1.8 times of the shear supported by frame which are computed by elastic analysis.

2) For prevention of the early damage of the beam segment adjacent to link in EBF structures, the design moment of the beam segment should multiply an amplification factor not less than 1.5 in region VIII, or 1.6 in region IX. Thus the design moment is computed as Equ. (8.1).

Where,2、Detailing requirement In beam-column joint, column through type is commonly

used and recommended by seismic design code. In practice, especially for box column, two through type diaphragms are adopted to shape a special joint, as shown in Figure 8.18(b), which will be convenient for fabrication. In the case of H shaped column, if the joint connects beams rigidly only in one direction, the strong bending axis had better to be chosen as the rigid way.

(a) Column through type (b) beam through typeFigure 8.18 Beam-to-column joint

Referring to Figure 8.19, to column through type joint, the next points should be paid attention to.

(1) The beam flange must be welded in butt welding and the toughness should be assured strictly.

(2) Horizontal stiffener corresponding to the beam flange has been set and the thickness shall not be thinner than the corresponding beam flange. If the stiffener is the inner diaphragm inside the box column, the rims of the stiffener shall be butt welded. The stiffeners to the H shaped column flange shall be welded in butt welding while to web can use fillet welding.

(3) The beam web can be connected with high strength bolts tothe column. By scallop hole beneath the flange the butt welding is apart from the web to prevent the concentration of the welding.

1、 The structural systems for one storey factory can be generally divided as transverse frame and longitudinal frame. The transverse frame is composed of column and beam or column and truss, while the longitudinal frame is composed of column, linking member (truss) and braces.In the large span workshop, the grid structure is also used

nowadays. Here, only the points of frame structures are explained. Figure 8.21 and 8.22 shows examples of frame structures.

2、Earlier than 1990s, most of the industrial workshop adopted purlinless roof structures, by using the pre-cast concrete roof slab, and in many cases with the skylight truss out of roof. Nowthe roof structures commonly use purlin system in which steel deck replaces the concrete slab that the roof weight becomes light. Instead of skylight truss small ventilator are widely used. These changes are advantageous to seismic design due to the decrease of roof mass therefore the inertial load caused by ground motion.

3、 In the view of seismic design the arrangement of structural system for industry workshop, the following should be paid attention.

(1) The height of multi-bay frame had better been designed same. If this requirement can not be satisfied, the lateral force at the column due to the lower roof mass should be fully considered.

. (2) The layout of the plan shall be arranged regular as possible. For example, two bays have different longitudinal sizes, thus the displacement, vibration velocity and acceleration of transverse frame in axis 4 will the different from those of frame in axis 5. The connection will be easily damaged.

(3) If the layout is complicated and the structural engineers have no way to avoid the irregularity, expansion joint should be set referring to Figure 8.24

(4) The climb ladder of crane shall not arranged near the same transverse axis, because the crane mass will concentrate after work.

(5) The rigidness of longitudinal frames shall be designed without great difference.

(6) The horizontal transverse bracing in the roof plan is necessary for transferring horizontal earthquake action to the column and reduce the effective length of the roof truss chord or roof beams. The vertical bracing and horizontal longitudinal bracing are conditionally needed, referring to the provisions of the design code.

(7) In the longitudinal direction, the most efficient way to resist earthquake and provide with necessary stiffness is to arrange cross braces or other type braces. If limited by the technical condition the bracing is not able to arrange, the rigid frame is the option.

8.3.2 Calculation of earthquake action

Horizontal action is necessary to be consideration in earthquakefortification.

Vertical earthquake action should be consideration if the span of roof exceeds 24 meters

2、 The consideration for the weight and stiffness of enclosure material

If profiled steel sheet or the pre-cast concrete panels with flexible connector are taken as enclosure only their weight shall be considered in analysis model.

In the case that the brick block is used and necessary anchorage is embedded, the stiffness of the wall can be taken into account. Usually the effective stiffness factor is taken as 0.4.

3、Space work effective

Though the structure is supposed to behave as independent plane frames, if the roof structure uses concrete slab which has great horizontal stiffness, the space work effective shall be taken into account in analysis.

4、 Distribution of earthquake action in longitudinal direction

To the structure where light weight wall panel or concretepanel with flexible connector is used as enclosure, the distribution of earthquake load in different longitudinal frame shall refer to the following guidance:

Purlinless concrete slab roof: the stiffness of roof structure had better be considered and the earthquake load is distributed as the stiffness of longitudinal frames.

Roof material without enough stiffness: earthquake load is distributed according the ratio of the mass that each longitudinal frame supports.

Concrete slab roof with purlin: the distribution method may adopt the average value of the results of above two.

There is no special requirement for the strength and stability check for structural members for the low rise factory structuresis commonly not higher statically indeterminate structures.

Based on the point, the seismic design code asks the engineers to pay more attention to the detailing requirements.

1、The limitation of slenderness ratio of steel column

The code limits the maximum slenderness ratio of steel column in factory structure not exceed 120 , where is the yield stress of steel.

2、The limitation for width-thickness ratio of plate element

The design code requires strict limitation comparing with the provisions for static design. The requirements can be found in Table 8.9.

3、Column brace The shaped steel is desirable for the brace under the level of

crane beam, while above the level ether steel bar or shaped steel can be chosen. X type brace is prior to be adopted and the declined angle of the brace member to the horizontal plane shall not be greater than 55 degrees. If the lower brace is difficult to use X type due to technical procedure, the portal bracing or inversed brace will be the options.

The maximum slenderness ratio of X type brace shall follow Table 8.10.

4、Roof brace

Section design of the roof brace shall be according to the inner force of members. The strength of the connection shall be stronger than the inner force of members.

5. Requirement for the column base

There are three basic types for column bases: embedded column base, concrete-clad column base, exposed column base as shown in Figure 8.27. The former two are belonging to the rigid base. Theexposed column base can be dealt with either rigid or pinned. d) rigid exposed base

b) concrete-clad base

c) pinned exposed base

a) embedded base

In region VI and VII, the exposed base can be adopted, but had better design it as rigid base. The design moment which will be resisted by anchor bolt shall multiply an amplified factor of 1.2. A shear connector is usually needed. In the past earthquake damage, the pull out of the exposed base was one of the type. Sothe engineers should be care when planning to use this type of base especially in the region where high intensity of earthquakewill probably occur.

The deepness in the concrete foundation to the embedded baseis not be less than two times of the section depth of the solid web column, and shall check the deepness, d, by the Equ. (8.14)
