1 Introduction

As for conventional seismic analysis of structure it is usuallyconducted on the basis of the strength and displacementwithout considering the progressive damage to the structurecaused by the duration of ground motion Compared withstrength- or displacement-based seismic designs an energy-based seismic design is preferable as it can include moreground motion characteristics

(e concept of energy-based design was originally in-troduced by Housner [1] and has attracted extensive at-tention from researchers and engineers worldwide Ozsaracet al [2] analyzed the energy-based responses of simplestructural systems by using a large set of simulated groundmotion records and showed that energy is a relatively stableparameter when compared with other response parametersChao and Goel [3] suggested that a controlled structure ismainly dependent on three major factors namely thedistribution of design lateral force the predictable global

yield mechanism and the target drift In addition Leela-taviwat et al [4] proposed a simplified energy-based plasticdesign method for moment steel frames In addition boththe pseudovelocity design spectrum and the earthquakeinput energy equations of elastic systems were employed toobtain the design base shear Afterwards this design methodwas further developed to be employed in the design of otherstructural systems For example Lee [5] presented a newdesign procedure based on inelastic analysis for moment-resisting frames in severe seismic zones Chao and Goeldeveloped a seismic design method for steel concentricbraced frames [6] and a performance-based plastic designfor seismic-resistant special truss moment frames [7] Kimet al [8] proposed an energy-based seismic design procedurefor framed structures with buckling-restrained braces(BRBs) (e input seismic energy was estimated from adesign spectrum and the elastic and hysteretic energy wascomputed using the energy balance concept (e cross-sectional area of braces required to meet a given target

displacement was obtained by equating the energy demandto hysteretic energy dissipated by the BRBs Sahoo and Chao[9] presented a performance-based plastic design (PBPD)methodology for the design of buckling-restrained bracedframes (BRBFs) (e design base shear was obtained on thebasis of energy-work balance by using the preselected targetdrift and yield mechanism Akbas et al [10] proposed aperformance-based design methodology for constructingregular moment-resisting steel frames with the collapseprevention standard Mastrandrea and Piluso [11] presenteda design methodology aiming at the development of acollapse mechanism of a global type for K-scheme eccen-trically braced frames accounting for second-order effectsFinally the inelastic performances of EBFs by static anddynamic nonlinear analyses confirmed the achievement ofthe design goal Montuori et al [12] designed a number ofmoment-resisting frames-eccentrically braced frame (MRF-EBF) dual systems with both theory of plastic mechanismcontrol (TPMC) and Eurocode 8 and evaluated TPMCaccuracy by means of pushover analyses Afterwards theyinvestigated the influence of the bracing scheme [13] andlink configuration [14] on the seismic performances ofMRF-EBFs dual systems (e four different bracing schemes in-cluded K-scheme D-scheme V-scheme and Y-scheme (eseismic performances have been analyzed by means of in-cremental dynamic analyses at last DellrsquoAglio et al designedseveral steel moment-resisting frames (MR frames) bymeans of both the performance-based plastic design (PBPD)approach and TPMC [15] and proposed a new refinedPBPD considering second-order effects for steel moment-resisting frames [16] Finally the seismic performances ofsuch MR frames have been investigated by both pushoverand dynamic nonlinear analyses

Choi and Kim [17] and Sun et al [18] suggested cal-culating the accumulated plastic deformation of structuresby employing the accumulated ductility ratio spectra (eyalso revealed the relationship between the accumulatedhysteretic energy and the hysteretic energy of monotonoussideway structures Furthermore Choi and Kim [19]designed three frame structures with buckling-restrainedbraces (BRBs) by employing the energy balance concept afterthe construction of a hysteretic energy spectrum and anaccumulated ductility spectrum Using the normalizedhysteretic energy spectrum and the accumulated ductilityspectrum Sun et al [18] developed an energy-based seismicdesign method for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) Kharmaleand Ghosh [20] proposed a performance-based plastic de-sign (PBPD) method for SPSW systems with rigid beam-to-column connections this method sets a specific ductilitydemand and a preferred yield mechanism as its performancetargets Xiong et al [21] presented a PBPD methodologybased on the energy-work balance concept for steel con-centrically braced frames Mezgebo and Lui [22] proposed aprocedure for designing steel moment frames by utilizingseismic hysteretic energy spectra

However most of the abovementioned researches werelimited to moment-resisting frames steel concentricallybraced frames steel frames of special truss moment andSPSWs and they were inapplicable to steel EBFs with two

shear links at every story Moreover all the mentionedenergy spectra were developed on the basis of non-Chinesesite classification and are inapplicable in China

EBFs are deemed as excellent structures to resistearthquakes as they colligate the ductility of moment frameswith the stiffness of braced frames In this paper hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility ratio spectraestablished according to the Chinese site classification areused to propose an energy-based seismic design method forV-scheme EBFs Moreover a ten-story three-span V-EBF isdesigned and its seismic behavior is evaluated

2 Hysteretic Energy Spectra and AccumulatedDuctility Ratio Spectra

21 Hysteretic Energy Spectra Bruneau and Wang [23]stated that it is more rational to calculate seismic inputenergy by using the relative energy equation (e motionequation for an inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF)system subjected to the unidirectional horizontal groundmotions at given times is as follows

m eurox + c _x + fs minus m euroxg (1)

wherem denotes the mass c denotes the viscous dampingcoefficient fs denotes the restoring force x denotesthe relative displacement relative to ground _x and eurox

denote the velocity and acceleration of the mass rela-tive to ground respectively and euroxg denotes groundacceleration

(rough integration of an earthquakersquos whole durationthe energy equation can be obtained as follows

where t is the timeEquation (2) can be expressed as

EKr + ED + EE + EH EIr (3)

where EKr is the kinetic energy ED is the energy dissipated bythe viscous damping EE is the elastic strain energy within theSDOF system EH is the hysteretic energy dissipated byinelastic behavior and EIr is the total input energy in-troduced by the earthquake

Under a far field earthquake structural failures usuallyresult from accumulative damage because of gradual ac-cumulation of the energy and cyclic effects As a result theaccumulated hysteretic energy can be treated as a rationalindex for far field seismic damage EH can be expressed interms of the equivalent velocity VEH [24]

31 Design Procedures Using the proposed accumulatedductility ratio spectrum and accumulated hystereticenergy spectrum an energy-based design approach forsteel EBFs with a V-scheme (V-EBFs) is proposed asfollows

(1) Preselect the desirable plastic mechanism Figure 2shows a V-EBF subjected to design lateral forces inits maximum drift state At the middle of the span allthe inelastic deformations are intended to be con-fined within the shear links in the form of shearyielding Since the plastic hinges developed at thecolumn bases are almost unavoidable in a rareearthquake the desired global plastic mechanism foran EBF is formed by the yielding of the shear linksand the plastic hinges at the column bases and beamends of both side frames

(2) Obtain preliminary design for each member and thefirst few vibration mode shapes and structural pe-riods through modal analysis

(3) Calculate the structural accumulative hystereticenergy demands by using the accumulated hystereticenergy spectra and the modal-energy-decompositionapproach

(e accumulated hysteretic energy demand of theV-EBF can be seen in Figure 2 that shows a V-EBFsubjected to design lateral forces in its maximumdrift state At the middle of the span all the in-elastic deformations are intended to be confinedwithin the shear links in the form of shear yieldingSince the plastic hinges developed at the columnbases are almost unavoidable in a rare earthquakethe desired global plastic mechanism for an EBF isformed by the yielding of the shear links and theplastic hinges at the column bases and beam endsof the both side frames obtained using equations(15)ndash(19) (e right-hand side of equation (15) canbe interpreted as denoting the modal-energy-de-composition approach applicable for inelasticmultidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Sub-sequently satisfactory energy estimates are ob-tained [27]

4 Performance Evaluation of Designed V-EBF

To study the performance of the designed V-EBF under rareearthquakes with 2 probability of being the heaviest in 50years both static pushover analysis and time-history dy-namic analysis are performed (e evaluation is mainlyaimed at illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed designmethod For this purpose both dead loads and half of live

loads are placed on the frame during nonlinear staticpushover and time-history dynamic analyses and theseismic masses are lumped at frame joints (e staticpushover analysis is conducted using SAP2000 whileABAQUS is adopted for the dynamic analysis

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

Choi and Kim [17] and Sun et al [18] suggested cal-culating the accumulated plastic deformation of structuresby employing the accumulated ductility ratio spectra (eyalso revealed the relationship between the accumulatedhysteretic energy and the hysteretic energy of monotonoussideway structures Furthermore Choi and Kim [19]designed three frame structures with buckling-restrainedbraces (BRBs) by employing the energy balance concept afterthe construction of a hysteretic energy spectrum and anaccumulated ductility spectrum Using the normalizedhysteretic energy spectrum and the accumulated ductilityspectrum Sun et al [18] developed an energy-based seismicdesign method for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) Kharmaleand Ghosh [20] proposed a performance-based plastic de-sign (PBPD) method for SPSW systems with rigid beam-to-column connections this method sets a specific ductilitydemand and a preferred yield mechanism as its performancetargets Xiong et al [21] presented a PBPD methodologybased on the energy-work balance concept for steel con-centrically braced frames Mezgebo and Lui [22] proposed aprocedure for designing steel moment frames by utilizingseismic hysteretic energy spectra

However most of the abovementioned researches werelimited to moment-resisting frames steel concentricallybraced frames steel frames of special truss moment andSPSWs and they were inapplicable to steel EBFs with two

shear links at every story Moreover all the mentionedenergy spectra were developed on the basis of non-Chinesesite classification and are inapplicable in China

EBFs are deemed as excellent structures to resistearthquakes as they colligate the ductility of moment frameswith the stiffness of braced frames In this paper hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility ratio spectraestablished according to the Chinese site classification areused to propose an energy-based seismic design method forV-scheme EBFs Moreover a ten-story three-span V-EBF isdesigned and its seismic behavior is evaluated

2 Hysteretic Energy Spectra and AccumulatedDuctility Ratio Spectra

21 Hysteretic Energy Spectra Bruneau and Wang [23]stated that it is more rational to calculate seismic inputenergy by using the relative energy equation (e motionequation for an inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF)system subjected to the unidirectional horizontal groundmotions at given times is as follows

m eurox + c _x + fs minus m euroxg (1)

wherem denotes the mass c denotes the viscous dampingcoefficient fs denotes the restoring force x denotesthe relative displacement relative to ground _x and eurox

denote the velocity and acceleration of the mass rela-tive to ground respectively and euroxg denotes groundacceleration

where t is the timeEquation (2) can be expressed as

EKr + ED + EE + EH EIr (3)

where EKr is the kinetic energy ED is the energy dissipated bythe viscous damping EE is the elastic strain energy within theSDOF system EH is the hysteretic energy dissipated byinelastic behavior and EIr is the total input energy in-troduced by the earthquake

Under a far field earthquake structural failures usuallyresult from accumulative damage because of gradual ac-cumulation of the energy and cyclic effects As a result theaccumulated hysteretic energy can be treated as a rationalindex for far field seismic damage EH can be expressed interms of the equivalent velocity VEH [24]

3 Energy-BasedDesignApproach forSteelEBFs

31 Design Procedures Using the proposed accumulatedductility ratio spectrum and accumulated hystereticenergy spectrum an energy-based design approach forsteel EBFs with a V-scheme (V-EBFs) is proposed asfollows

(1) Preselect the desirable plastic mechanism Figure 2shows a V-EBF subjected to design lateral forces inits maximum drift state At the middle of the span allthe inelastic deformations are intended to be con-fined within the shear links in the form of shearyielding Since the plastic hinges developed at thecolumn bases are almost unavoidable in a rareearthquake the desired global plastic mechanism foran EBF is formed by the yielding of the shear linksand the plastic hinges at the column bases and beamends of both side frames

(2) Obtain preliminary design for each member and thefirst few vibration mode shapes and structural pe-riods through modal analysis

(3) Calculate the structural accumulative hystereticenergy demands by using the accumulated hystereticenergy spectra and the modal-energy-decompositionapproach

(e accumulated hysteretic energy demand of theV-EBF can be seen in Figure 2 that shows a V-EBFsubjected to design lateral forces in its maximumdrift state At the middle of the span all the in-elastic deformations are intended to be confinedwithin the shear links in the form of shear yieldingSince the plastic hinges developed at the columnbases are almost unavoidable in a rare earthquakethe desired global plastic mechanism for an EBF isformed by the yielding of the shear links and theplastic hinges at the column bases and beam endsof the both side frames obtained using equations(15)ndash(19) (e right-hand side of equation (15) canbe interpreted as denoting the modal-energy-de-composition approach applicable for inelasticmultidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Sub-sequently satisfactory energy estimates are ob-tained [27]

To study the performance of the designed V-EBF under rareearthquakes with 2 probability of being the heaviest in 50years both static pushover analysis and time-history dy-namic analysis are performed (e evaluation is mainlyaimed at illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed designmethod For this purpose both dead loads and half of live

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

3 Energy-BasedDesignApproach forSteelEBFs

31 Design Procedures Using the proposed accumulatedductility ratio spectrum and accumulated hystereticenergy spectrum an energy-based design approach forsteel EBFs with a V-scheme (V-EBFs) is proposed asfollows

(1) Preselect the desirable plastic mechanism Figure 2shows a V-EBF subjected to design lateral forces inits maximum drift state At the middle of the span allthe inelastic deformations are intended to be con-fined within the shear links in the form of shearyielding Since the plastic hinges developed at thecolumn bases are almost unavoidable in a rareearthquake the desired global plastic mechanism foran EBF is formed by the yielding of the shear linksand the plastic hinges at the column bases and beamends of both side frames

(2) Obtain preliminary design for each member and thefirst few vibration mode shapes and structural pe-riods through modal analysis

(3) Calculate the structural accumulative hystereticenergy demands by using the accumulated hystereticenergy spectra and the modal-energy-decompositionapproach

(e accumulated hysteretic energy demand of theV-EBF can be seen in Figure 2 that shows a V-EBFsubjected to design lateral forces in its maximumdrift state At the middle of the span all the in-elastic deformations are intended to be confinedwithin the shear links in the form of shear yieldingSince the plastic hinges developed at the columnbases are almost unavoidable in a rare earthquakethe desired global plastic mechanism for an EBF isformed by the yielding of the shear links and theplastic hinges at the column bases and beam endsof the both side frames obtained using equations(15)ndash(19) (e right-hand side of equation (15) canbe interpreted as denoting the modal-energy-de-composition approach applicable for inelasticmultidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Sub-sequently satisfactory energy estimates are ob-tained [27]

To study the performance of the designed V-EBF under rareearthquakes with 2 probability of being the heaviest in 50years both static pushover analysis and time-history dy-namic analysis are performed (e evaluation is mainlyaimed at illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed designmethod For this purpose both dead loads and half of live

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

3 Energy-BasedDesignApproach forSteelEBFs

31 Design Procedures Using the proposed accumulatedductility ratio spectrum and accumulated hystereticenergy spectrum an energy-based design approach forsteel EBFs with a V-scheme (V-EBFs) is proposed asfollows

(1) Preselect the desirable plastic mechanism Figure 2shows a V-EBF subjected to design lateral forces inits maximum drift state At the middle of the span allthe inelastic deformations are intended to be con-fined within the shear links in the form of shearyielding Since the plastic hinges developed at thecolumn bases are almost unavoidable in a rareearthquake the desired global plastic mechanism foran EBF is formed by the yielding of the shear linksand the plastic hinges at the column bases and beamends of both side frames

(2) Obtain preliminary design for each member and thefirst few vibration mode shapes and structural pe-riods through modal analysis

(3) Calculate the structural accumulative hystereticenergy demands by using the accumulated hystereticenergy spectra and the modal-energy-decompositionapproach

(e accumulated hysteretic energy demand of theV-EBF can be seen in Figure 2 that shows a V-EBFsubjected to design lateral forces in its maximumdrift state At the middle of the span all the in-elastic deformations are intended to be confinedwithin the shear links in the form of shear yieldingSince the plastic hinges developed at the columnbases are almost unavoidable in a rare earthquakethe desired global plastic mechanism for an EBF isformed by the yielding of the shear links and theplastic hinges at the column bases and beam endsof the both side frames obtained using equations(15)ndash(19) (e right-hand side of equation (15) canbe interpreted as denoting the modal-energy-de-composition approach applicable for inelasticmultidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Sub-sequently satisfactory energy estimates are ob-tained [27]

To study the performance of the designed V-EBF under rareearthquakes with 2 probability of being the heaviest in 50years both static pushover analysis and time-history dy-namic analysis are performed (e evaluation is mainlyaimed at illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed designmethod For this purpose both dead loads and half of live

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

To study the performance of the designed V-EBF under rareearthquakes with 2 probability of being the heaviest in 50years both static pushover analysis and time-history dy-namic analysis are performed (e evaluation is mainlyaimed at illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed designmethod For this purpose both dead loads and half of live

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative

(e pushover curve is shown in Figure 9 It shows clearlythat the lateral bearing capacity is 33041 kN correspondingto the onset of stiffness deterioration which is 181 largerthan that of the design base shear (is may be attributed tothe fact that the improved overall lateral resistance ability ofthe frame is due to the material strain hardening and thedevelopment of shear resistance in the link flanges (e ratioof the structural yield driftmdashthe assumed yield drift ratiogiven in Section 33mdashis approximately 03 (erefore a03 yield drift for a 10-story V-EBF is generally reasonable

Furthermore the order of appearance and the location ofplastic hinges in the frame are also obtained from thepushover analysis Plastic hinges first occur at the linksfollowed by the side beam ends and column bases Figure 10shows the quantity and location of plastic hinges when theframe is pushed to roof drift ratios of 105 and 2 which isalmost identical to the prediction made by the preselectedyield mechanism

Clearly the proposed design method can reliably predictthe yield drift design base shear and the location of plastichinges

A total of 10 ground motion records are selected as inputearthquakes and the acceleration amplitudes are scaled to510 cms2 which corresponds to a rare earthquake (eselected records are strictly required to satisfy the criteria foreach record it is expected that (1) the ratio of the calculatedcumulative hysteretic energy of the structure is not less than60 and (2) themean ratio of all records is not less than 80

(e average value of total dissipated hysteretic energy ofthe V-EBF for the 10 records is 27053 kNm which isslightly lower than the design requirement(is result showsthat the proposed design method is rather conservative inseismic design

Figures 11 and 12 show the maximum interstory driftangle profiles and their average values respectively underdifferent records It can be observed in Figure 12 that theinterstory drift angles are closer to 1 preselected targetdrift and the frame indicates uniform interstory drift

5 Conclusions

In this paper a method for the performance-based seismicdesign of V-EBFs is proposed and validated through

nonlinear static and dynamic analyses (e following con-clusions can be drawn

(1) (e accumulated ductility ratio spectrum is closelyrelated to the soil type site group and structuraldamping ratio as well as the ductility and postyieldstiffness ratio However the effect of the structuralperiod on the accumulated ductility ratio spectra canbe neglected Finally the mathematical expressionsfor an accumulated ductility ratio spectrum that is inaccordance with the classification of Chinese soilsites can be obtained

(2) A procedure for the energy-based seismic design ofV-EBFs is proposed by employing both hystereticenergy spectra and accumulated ductility spectrawhich are applicable in China

(3) According to the results obtained from pushoveranalysis the yield drift design base shear and lo-cation of plastic hinges coincide with the predictionsmade by employing the proposed design method

(4) (e performance validation of V-EBFs shows thatthe preselected yield mechanism and target ductilityare reasonable based on the results of the nonlinearstatic and dynamic analyses (e proposed designmethod for V-EBFs is rather conservative
