Study on Rayleigh Damping in Dynamic Analysis for Story-Adding RC Structure of Light-Weight Steel

Abstract:

Damping ratio is a very important parameter for building structures in the analysis of dynamic response. Story-adding RC structure of light-weight steel is composed by two different material stories. If all the modal damping ratios are defined as the same, as to the dynamic analysis for that structure, the results of analysis will be inappropriate. This paper made some response spectrum analysis on a six-story story-adding RC structure of light-weight steel by finite element analysis software Midas Gen through defining the Rayleigh damping. In the meanwhile, compared the results based on different Rayleigh damping parameters with the results by using the method of strain energy proportional, and got the rule of the definition of Rayleigh damping.
