Research on Numerical Model for Earthquake Induced Progressive Collapse of High-Rise Buildings

Abstract:

Progressive collapse is defined as the collapse of the whole building due to local weak stories or weak zones. In this paper, collapse should theoretically be avoided for any building under any earthquake, it is necessary to study the collapse behavior of buildings to acquire a better understanding of the collapse mechanism and to find efficient methods to prevent it. The collapse process highly depends on the feature of the whole structural system, so numerical simulation becomes a major method to study it. Based on the finite element method, by selecting the appropriate cell death and cell contact algorithm criterion can better simulate the structure collapsed in an earthquake under the continuity of the whole process of destruction, to help understand the causes and mechanism of structural damage. The real buildings are analyzed to study the failure mechanism of the structure. The models proposed are reasonable to study the seismic collapse mechanism of high-rise buildings.
