Seismic Response Analysis of Liaocheng Guangyue Tower

Abstract:

This paper establishes three models using ANSYS, which were timber structure of Guangyue Tower, timber structure-tower base and timber structure-tower base-foundation. The first 3 natural frequencies of timber structure respectively were 0.8524Hz、1.1273 Hz and 1.7426 Hz through modal analysis, which were compared with calculations from code. Lanzhou Wave was chosen to analyze the seismic response of Guangyue Tower, and the amplitudes were adjusted to 55gal and 310gal respectively according to the frequent earthquake and rare earthquake, which were inputted to the above models. As can be seen from the calculations, the maximum displacements of the three models were in the top nodes, and tower base had a greater impact on vibration of timber structure, which could not be ignored in seismic response analysis; considering soil-structure interaction in seismic response analysis could better reflect the actual situation of Guangyue Tower.
