Inelastic Seismic Response of StructuresSlide2

Introduction

Under relatively strong earthquakes, structures

undergo inelastic deformation due to current seismic design philosophy. Therefore, structures should have sufficient ductility to deform beyond the yield limit. For understanding the ductility demand imposed by the earthquake, a study of an SDOF system in inelastic range is of great help.The inelastic excursion takes place when the restoring force in the spring exceeds or equal to the yield limit of the spring.

1/1Slide3

For this, nonlinear time history analysis of SDOF

system under earthquake is required; similarly,

nonlinear analysis of MDOF system is useful for understanding non-linear behaviour of MDOF system under earthquakes. Nonlinear analysis is required for other reasons as well such as determination of collapse state, seismic risk analysis and so on. Finally, for complete understanding of the inelastic behavior of structures, concepts of ductility and inelastic response spectrum are required.The above topics are discussed here.Contd..

1/2Slide4

Non linear dynamic analysis

If structure have nonlinear terms either in inertia

or in damping or in stiffness or in any form of combination of them, then the equation of motion becomes nonlinear. More common nonlinearities are stiffness and damping nonlinearities. In stiffness non linearity, two types of non linearity are encountered : Geometric Material (hysteretic type) Figure 6.1 shows non hysteric type non linearity; loading & unloading path are the same.

the time step; they should be taken as average

For more accurate value of acceleration, it is

calculated from Eq. 6.2 at k+1th step. The solution is valid for non hysteretic non linearity. For hysteretic type, solution procedure is modified & is first explained for elasto - plastic system.

Solution becomes more involved because

loading and unloading paths are different.

As a result, responses are tracked at every time

step of the solution in order to determine loading

and unloading of the system and accordingly,

modify the value of k

State transition is taken care of by iteration

procedure to minimize the unbalanced force;

iteration involves the following steps.

section is examined at each time step.

Depending upon the states of yield

sections, stiffness of the members are changed &

the stiffness matrix for the incremental equation is formed. If required, iteration is carried out as explained for SDOF. Solution for MDOF is an extension of that of SDOF.Contd..

Bidirectional interaction assumes importance

under:

Analysis for two component earthquake Torsionally Coupled System For such cases, elements undergo yielding depending upon the yield criterion used. When bidirectional interaction of forces on yielding is considered, yielding of a cross section depends on two forces. None of them individually reaches yield value; but the section may yield.

Bidirectional Interaction

3/1Slide23

If the interaction is ignored, yielding in two

directions takes place independently.

In incremental analysis, the interaction effect is included in the following way. Refer Fig 6.6; columns translate in X and Y directions with stiffness and .Contd..

When any of the column is in the full plastic state

During incremental solution changes as the elements pass from E-P, P-P, P-E; the change follows E-P properties of the element & yield criterion. Yield criterion could be of different form; most popular yield curve is

Contd..

3/5Slide27

For , curve is circular ; ,

curve is ellipse; shows plastic state, shows elastic state, is inadmissible. If , internal forces of the elements are pulled back to satisfy yield criterion; equilibrium is disturbed, corrected by iteration. The solution procedure is similar to that for SDOF. At the beginning of time , check the states of the elements & accordingly the transient stiffness matrix is formed.

Contd..

3/6Slide28

If any element violates the yield condition at the

end of time or passes from E-P, then an

iteration scheme is used.If it is P-P & for any element, then an average stiffness predictor- corrector scheme is employed. The scheme consists of : is obtained with for the time internal Δt & incremental restoring force vector is obtained.

Contd..

3/7Slide29

After convergence , forces are calculated &

yield criterion is checked ; element forces are

pulled back if criterion is violated. With new force vector is calculated & iteration is continued. For E-P, extension of SDOF to MDOF is done. For calculating , the procedure as given in SDOF is adopted.

Multi Storey Building frames

For 2D frames, inelastic analysis can be done

without much complexity. Potential sections of yielding are identified & elasto–plastic properties of the sections are given. When IMI = Mp for any cross section, a hinge is considered for subsequent & stiffness matrix of the structure is generated. If IMI > Mp for any cross section at the end of IMI is set to Mp, the response is evaluated with average of stiffness at t and (IMI = Mp ).

4/1Slide40

At the end of each , velocity is calculated at

each potential hinge; if unloading takes place at the end of , then for next , the section behaves elastically. ( ).Contd..

For nonlinear moment rotation relationship,

Slopes of backbone curve may be interpolated ; interpolation is used for finding initial stiffness. If columns are weaker than the beams, then top & bottom sections of the column become potential sections for plastic hinge. During integration of equation of motion is given byContd..

4/6Slide45

Non zero elements of K

p are computed using Eqns. 6.15 & 6.16 and are arranged so that they correspond to the degrees of freedom affected by plastification. The solution procedure remains the same as described before. If 3D frame is weak beam-strong column system, then problem becomes simple as the beams undergo only one way bending.The analysis procedure remains the same as that of 2D frame.Contd..4/7Slide46

For 2D & 3D frames having weak beam strong

column systems, rotational d.o.f are condensed

out; this involves some extra computational effort. The procedure is illustrated with a frame as shown in the figure (with 2 storey).Contd.. Incremental rotations at the member ends are calculated from incremental displacements. Rotational stiffness of member is modified if plastification/ unloading takes place.

The full stiffness matrix is assembled &

rotational d.o.f. are condensed out.

Push over analysis is a good nonlinear static

(substitute) analysis for the inelastic dynamic analysis. It provides load Vs deflection curve from rest to ultimate failure. Load is representative of equivalent static load taken as a mode of the structure & total load is conveniently the base shear. Deflection may represent any deflection & can be conveniently taken as the top deflection. Push over analysis5/1Slide55

It can be force or displacement control depending

upon whether force or displacement is given an

increment. For both , incremental nonlinear static analysis is ‘performed by finding matrix at the beginning of each increment. Displacement controlled pushover analysis is preferred because, the analysis can be carried out up to a desired displacement level. Following input data are required in addition to the fundamental mode shape(if used).Contd..5/2Slide56

Ductility & Inelastic spectrum

A structure is designed for a load less than

that obtained from seismic coefficient method or RSA (say, for The structure will undergo yielding, if it is subjected to the expected design earthquake. The behavior will depend upon the force deformation characteristics of the sections. The maximum displacements & deformations of the structure are expected to be greater than the yield displacements.6/1Slide64

How much the structure will deform beyond

the yield limit depends upon its ductility; ductility factor is defined as For explaining ductility , two SDOFs are considered with elasto – plastic behavior & the other a corresponding elastic system shown in Fig 6.23.

Ductility in multi-storey frames

For an SDOF, inelastic spectrum can provide

design yield strength for a given ; maximum displacement under earthquake is found as For multi-storey building , it is not possible because It is difficult to obtain design yield strength of all members for a uniform . Ductility demands imposed by earthquake on members widely differ. Some studies on multi - storey frames are summarized here to show how ductility demands vary from member to member when designed using elastic spectrum for uniform .

7/5Slide79

Shear frames are designed following seismic

coefficient method ; is obtained using

inelastic spectrum of El centro earthquake for a specified ductility & storey shears are distributed as per code. Frames are analysed assuming E-P behaviour of columns for El centro earthquake. The storey stiffness is determined using seismic coefficient method by assuming storey drifts to be equal.Contd..

7/6Slide80

Results show that

For taller frames, are larger in upper & lower stories; decrease in middle storeys.

Deviation of storey ductility demands from the design one increases for taller frames.In general demand is maximum at the first storey & could be 2-3 times the design Study shows that increase of base shear by some percentage tends to keep the demand within a stipulated limit.Contd..
