Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Earthquakes are one of the most severe natural disasters. They induce significant damage and even the collapse of building structures. As a result; it is crucial to accurately analyze the seismic performance of building structures. In addition; in some countries; such as China; all new building structures should be designed in consideration of the influence of earthquakes; and the criticality of seismic design should be emphasized. In all; seismic analysis and the design of building structures are a fundamental; traditional and crucial aspect of civil engineering; and are therefore worthy of investigation.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in seismic analysis and the design of building structures. Topics in this Special Issue may include; but are not limited to; the following:

  • seismic analysis of building structures;
  • seismic design of building structures;
  • seismic performance improvement of building structures.

To achieve rapid post-earthquake repair of self-centering ribbed floor flat-beam frame structures, a ductile hybrid joint consisting of dog-bone-shaped, weakened, energy-dissipating steel bars connected to the upper and lower column sections through high-strength threads is proposed based on the damage control design concept. By moving the ductile energy-dissipating zone out to the locally weakened section of the energy-dissipating steel bars and the locally unbonded prestressed steel bars in the core area, the residual deformation was limited and the seismic performance improved. Based on the working principle of hybrid joints, low cycle loading tests were conducted on two joint specimens to analyze the influence of lateral prestress on the seismic performance of the hybrid joints. Numerical modeling methods were used to compare the position of the energy-dissipating steel bars in the composite layer and the friction performance of the joints. The research results indicated that the hybrid joint had stable load bearing, deformation, and energy dissipation capabilities, with damage being primarily concentrated in the energy-dissipating steel bars. Even at an inter-story displacement angle of 5.5%, the upper and lower column segments remained elastic. After unloading, the connection seam at the joint was closed, and the self-centering performance was good. When the inter-story displacement angle reached 5.5%, the lateral prestress increased from 150 kN to 250 kN, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint increased by 16.3%, and the cumulative energy consumption increased by 30.0%. The influence of the friction coefficient of the joint surface on the structural performance was set at a threshold of 0.7. When it was less than the threshold, the ultimate bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the joint increased with the increase in the friction coefficient. After reaching the threshold, the increase in the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint slowed down, and the rate of stiffness degradation gradually accelerated. This joint showed excellent seismic performance and can thus achieve post-earthquake repair of structures. Full article
