Abstract:

Based on the incremental dynamic analysis ( IDA) ,the seismic fragility of RC ( Reinforced Concrete) transfer frame structures with and without energy dissipation haunch braces ( EDHBs) was investigated,and the corresponding fragility curve equations were established. The seismic reliability of the structure with EDHBs was then evaluated,and the influences of buckling-restrained EDHBs on the failure mechanism of the structure were analyzed. The results show that,by setting buckling-restrained EDHBs,the exceeding probability of the RC transfer frame structure in different damage states decreases by 5% ~ 80%; and that EDHBs change the soft-storey failure mechanism at the transfer storey and the neighboring stories and effectively alleviate the damage of transfer components,thus preventing the structure from global and local collapses. In addition,as EDHBs may result in large additional shear force on the RC column,steel-concrete composite components are more feasible in constructing steelreinforced concrete transfer structures with EDHBs.

Key words: energy dissipation haunch brace, reinforced concrete, transfer frame structure, incremental dynamic analysis, seismic fragility, failure mechanism
