Study on Seismic Response Characteristics of Step-Terrace Frame Structure on the Slope

Abstract:

The seismic response of step-terrace frame structure is affected by the slope. Considered soil parameters of slope, the floor numbers and span numbers of layers below the scarp, 45 step-terrace frame example structures were designed, and three excitations at bedrock were selected to analyze the example structures response with dynamic time-history analysis method. The research indicates that when the other conditions are the same, the soil becomes softer, or structure's span numbers on the slope becomes larger or the slope becomes higher, the dynamic interaction between slope and step-terrace frame structure becomes more obvious. When the inputted ground motion at slope foot is adopted and the slope soil is soft, the seismic response of structure without soil-structure interaction is smaller than that of with soil-structure interaction.
