Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Frame Structure with Story-Adding Steel Structure at the Top

Article Preview

Abstract:

After steel structure was added on top of a concrete frame structure, the mass, stiffness, natural period and damping ratio of the original frame structure has changed significantly. Using finite element software ANSYS and software PKPM respectively, model of the original frame structure and the new structure with story-adding steel structure were built. Furthermore, seismic performance of the three structures was studied. Weak location of the structure was found out. Finally, the main factors were analyzed. Results show that whiplash effect is not obvious when one-story steel structure was added on the top of the original frame structure. Also, seismic performance of the frame structure with two-story steel structures on the top is perfect. Some suggestions are put forward for designing the similar structure.
