Performance Assessment of an Energy–Based Approximation Method for the Dynamic Capacity of RC Frames Subjected to Sudden Column Removal Scenarios
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Energy–Based Method
- The moving sub–structure, subjected to a column failure, is assumed to behave like a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system [17,18,23]. The response is controlled by a single deformation mode and the mode keeps constant during the dynamic response. Therefore, the energy of the whole system can be linked to the energy of a point, i.e., every point in the system reaches its maximum displacement response at a same time. However, this never happens in a real structure as the existing infinite number of deformation modes will reach their maximum response at different moments. Consequently, the stored strain energy counted by the EBM is overestimated alongside its calculated deflections [23]. For a structural frame system subjected to an exterior column removal scenario, a non–single deformation response may occur due to complex load redistribution mechanisms (e.g., overturn), such as the results by [4,13,46] in relation to the exterior or side column removal scenarios.
- All the energy introduced into a system by the loads is switched into pure strain energy. The EBM neglects the energy dissipated by damping or other mechanisms. Therefore, the maximum deflection response will be overestimated. Moreover, it is still a controversial issue regarding how to model the damping mechanism for a sudden column removal scenario [19,47,48], e.g., viscous damping or Coulomb damping [23]. For instance, the studies have identified drawbacks associated with the use of Rayleigh damping based on initial stiffness, in which the initial stiffness may introduce in the unwanted artificial viscous forces [14,49]. This is because the stiffness term involved in the Rayleigh damping should also be updated accordingly when a system responds in the inelastic stage [48].
- The strain energy storage capacities of a system for a given displacement in static and dynamic situations are different [50]. The EBM cannot take this into account. However, the influence of the strain rate is low according to both previous experimental results [10] and numerical studies [19,23], as the maximum strain rates occur only in a small area and during a short time duration for sudden column removals.
3. Quantification of the Model Uncertainty Associated to the Application of EBM
- (a)
- Initially, the appropriate random variables and a column removal scenario are selected.
- (b)
- Subsequently, both the non–linear static and dynamic analyses are carried out. In case of the former, the pushdown curve is subsequently used to derive the EBM curve and the corresponding dynamic resistance for every realization (the left branch in Figure 3). In case of the latter, incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) are executed to accurately determine the dynamic resistance for every realization (the right branch in Figure 3).
- (c)
- Eventually, the model deviation for the EBM comparing to the IDA are calculated for both the resistances and the corresponding displacements:
