High-speed railway lines always have to cross the seismic zone with great earthquake risks leading to serious consequences. A replaceable steel panel damper (SPD) is proposed as an energy-dissipation device to mitigate the structural seismic responses. It is simulated as a simplified nonlinear spring embedded in structural system with the force-displacement behavior derived by plate-beam theory. To investigate the effect of SPD, a typical 5-span high-speed railway simply supported bridge-track system (HSRSBTS) validated by a shaking table test is established by ANSYS. A novel damage measure, the system relative damage ratio (γSRD), is proposed to quantify the effect of SPD in the system and consider the potential component-level damage modes of both bending and shear. The structural system is investigated undergoing two ground motions suites in DBE- and MCE-level intensity, including both far-field and near-field records in transverse direction. The result indicates that a significant reduce (roughly 50%) of seismic response in rail and girder are contributed by SPD, while the system damage decreases about 10-15%, especially for near-field pulse-like ground motions with high intensity. The energy-dissipation capacity of SPDs with various configurations is examined to optimize the properties of SPD. It generally decreases with the increase in the elastic stiffness ratio r of the SPD to the fixed support, and the r = 2-2.5 are recommended in engineering practice. SPD is an effective and efficient device of structure to be adopted as an energy-dissipation component and the first defense line under far-field and near-field ground motions.

The light polymer material (LPM), prepared with suitable mix proportion and physical method, is a type of low-carbon and environmental-friendly material. Recently, the LPM is developed as structural material for cold-formed steel (CFS) structures to cover the shortages of traditional CFS shear wall. In this paper, material properties of gypsum-based and cement-based LPM including compressive strength, elastic modulus and thermal property were explored by tests. Experimental results demonstrate that LPM exhibits excellent thermal insulation, and the thermal insulation and compressive strength of LPM satisfy the demand of bearing capacity and thermal insulation property of shear walls. To explore the effect of LPM on seismic response and failure modes of CFS shear walls, three specimens are manufactured and tested under cyclic loading. The existence of LPM in CFS shear wall would restrain the failure of wall studs to some extent. Due to the restriction effect of LPM on wall studs and self-drilling screws and the bond-slip performance between LPM and studs, the shear walls exhibit better seismic behavior than traditional CFS shear walls. At last, a modified equivalent bracing model is employed to predict the lateral stiffness of LPM-filled CFS shear walls considering the effect of filling materials, rib lath, and sheathing. The lateral stiffness obtained by the proposed method is compared to the experimental results in this paper and other researches, and the proposed model is proved to supply a conservative result which is safe to be adopted in the design and application of the LPM-filled CFS shear wall.

The stiffness of structural elements (columns, beams, and slabs) significantly contributes to the overall stiffness of reinforced concrete (RC) high-rise buildings (H.R.B.s) subjected to earthquake. In order to investigate what percentage each type of element contributes to the overall performance of an H.R.B. under seismic load, the stiffness of each type of element is reduced by 10% to 90%. A time history analysis by SAP2000 was performed on thirteen 3D models of 12-story RC buildings in order to illustrate the contribution of column stiffness and column cross sections (rectangular or square), building floor plans (square or rectangular), beam stiffness and slab stiffness, on building resistance to an earthquake. The stiffness of the columns contributed more than the beams and slabs to the earthquake resistance of H.R.B.s. Rectangular cross-section columns must be properly oriented in order for H.R.B.s and slender buildings to attain the maximum resistance against earthquakes.

Aby zbadać, jaki procent każdego rodzaju elementów (słupów, belek i płyt) wpływa na ogólną sztywność i wydajność wieżowców (H.R.B.) pod obciążeniem sejsmicznym, sztywność każdego elementu jest zmniejszana o 10% do 90%. Analiza historyczna przeprowadzona przez SAP2000 obejmowała trzynaście modeli 3D 12-piętrowych wieżowców w celu zobrazowania wpływu sztywności i przekrojów słupa (prostokątnego lub kwadratowego), planu pięter budynku (kwadratowego lub prostokątnego), sztywności belki oraz sztywności płyty, na odporność budynku na trzęsienie ziemi. Sztywność słupa miała większy wpływ niż sztywność belki i płyty na odporność wieżowca na trzęsienie ziemi.
