Dynamic principle analysis of reinforced concrete replaceable coupling beam energy dissipation structure

Abstract

Reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most common structures in tall buildings. As an effective means to control structural vibration response, energy dissipation damping is widely applied to reinforced concrete shear wall structures. Replaceable steel coupling beams (RSCB) is a new technology in the energy dissipation damping field, and are being gradually adopted by construction projects since their introduction. However, current research on RSCB damping performance and space optimization has some shortcomings. This paper discusses RSCB working principles based on structural dynamics theory and derives damping performance curves of corresponding structures, and a primary evaluation of seismic response method for RSCB structures is proposed. Finally, the energy dissipation performance of a typical reinforced concrete shear wall structure is analyzed based on performance curves and formula of structural dynamics constructed by this paper. Relevant outcomes of this paper will provide theoretical support and technical guidance for construction design and in-depth research of RSCB.
