Resilient seismic design of reinforced concrete framed buildings with metallic fuses including soil-structure interaction effects
Abstract In this paper, the authors propose and validate a code-oriented, resilient design methodology for reinforced concrete buildings with intermediate moment frames (RC-IMFs) and hysteretic energy dissipation devices (HEDDs) mounted in chevron steel bracing design as structural fuses, considering soil-structure effects. The design methodology is based on global lateral stiffness balances among different structural components (frames, bracings and HEDDs). Global seismic design parameters were specifically assessed for such stiffness ratios through extensive parametric studies for the subject structural system under study. In order to achieve an immediate occupancy seismic performance, the design sequence using capacity-design principles is clearly established and emphasized for the design of main structural elements. Soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects are included in the formal design process following the recommendations available in the seismic code for Mexico City. In order to fully test the efficacy of the proposed design methodology under a demanding seismic scenario, three buildings of 8, 15 and 24 stories were designed in soft soil sites of Mexico City close to resonant responses. Different types or HEDDs were considered and evaluated. Pushover analyses were performed in order to verify that subject buildings may achieve the objective resilient deformation mechanism (immediate occupancy) at the maximum useful ductility capacity assumed for the HEDDs. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed for the complete 3D designs according to the code under the action of eight pairs of acceleration records, representative of the site where the buildings were located. This was done in order to assess maximum inelastic demands, residual drifts, and fully verify and validate the proposed resilient, structural fuse code-oriented design. From the obtained results, it is confirmed that a resilient structural performance is feasible for RC-IMFs with HEDDs under the proposed code-oriented design methodology.
Highlights A code-oriented, resilient seismic design procedure for RC-IMRFs with HEEDs is presented. An immediate occupancy category is achieved for RC-IMRFs with HEEDs for the MCE scenario. SSI effects were included in the design procedure and evaluated with real soft soil properties of Mexico City. Peak displacements and base shears of buildings were amplified (up to 21%) when considering SSI effects. Practical values for assessed global design parameters are proposed for their insertion in Mexican and international codes.
