Damage Assessment of an SRC Frame-Core Tube Structure under the Action of a Main Aftershock Sequence by Peng Wang, Qingxuan Shi, Feng Wang, Siusiu Guo

“…Taking the vulnerability index as an evaluation parameter, the structural vulnerability index when subjected to an intensity 8 earthquake under the action of the main aftershock is approximately 10% larger than under the action of a single main shock. Meanwhile, the SRC frame-core structure designed according to the current Chinese specifications meets the expected seismic fortification target, even after being acted upon by the main aftershock ground motion sequence.…”

Investigation on Seismic Performance of Bidirectional Self-Centering Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures by Shaking Table Tests by Zhenying Wang, Chenxi Mao, Lili Xie

“…This paper presents an experimental study on the seismic performance of a bidirectional self-centering reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure. In the structure, the column-base joints, which were installed with external mild steel (MS) dampers, could uplift freely and the beam-column joints could open effectively under earthquake excitations. …”

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Prefabricated Concrete Frame with a Cam-Type Response Amplifying Device of Viscous Damper by Luyao Wei, Huijiao Nie

“…On the basis of the unit library provided by ABAQUS, the secondary development was carried out and the dynamic time history analysis was performed on the solid model of the prefabricated frame structure. We selected the displacement angle between layers as the structural damage index and used the dynamic incremental method to analyze the seismic vulnerability of the uncontrolled structure without the cam-type response amplification device and the added damping structure. …”
