Abstract
In order to point out the main factors in MDOF pseudo-dynamic test design of high-rise flexible, the key points in pseudo-dynamic test design using equivalent MDOF system were analyzed based on the theoretic derivation and numerical simulation, and the problems to notice in test design were pointed out, the pseudo-dynamic test results validity of high piers based on equivalent SDOF system was discussed, and the impact of high mode to the earthquake response of high-rise flexible structure was acquired. The results of numerical simulation of lumped-mass model prove that the contribution of high mode to the displacement of high flexible structure is little, and the displacement is mainly provided by the first-order mode, which is nothing to do with the selection of seismic waves. However, the high mode have great influence on seismic base shear and base moment of high flexible structure, and the influence level is associated with the properties of seismic wave spectrum. Under one specific earthquake wave, the second-order vibration may play a main contribution to seismic base shear and base moment of high-rise flexible structure. Therefore, it is proper to use equivalent two-degree of freedom system in pseudo-dynamic test of high piers. However, if using equivalent SDOF system, the structural displacement response is correct while the strain data and experimental phenomenon may be untrue. The conclusion proposed is significant in guiding the pseudo dynamic test design of high-rise flexible structure and ensuring the rationality of test.
