Research on Seismic Damage of Buildings in the Beichuan Earthquake

Abstract:

This paper mainly discusses seismic damage of RC frame buildings in Beichuan county based on the investigation on the spot. The building damage forms are classified and component failures are analyzed. Applying finite element analysis software, the performance of RC frame buildings under severe earthquake is simulated and the components plastic hinge development is researched. The analysis results are made a comparison with real damage of buildings in this paper and some suggestions are proposed to seismic design.
