Increment Dynamic Analysis for One-Story Asymmetric Plan Systems under Hard Soil Site

Abstract

Considering the multi-dimensional feature of earthquake motions and the torsion response can aggravate destroying of structure, the one-storey asymmetric plan system with three degree of freedom is established. The yield rule of this asymmetric system is determined by two-dimensional yield-surface plasticity function. Bi-directional Earthquake motion records for hard soil site are selected as the excitations of this asymmetric system. The increment dynamic analysis for this system is conducted, and increment dynamic analysis capacity curves are given in which peak ground acceleration is used as earthquake intensity parameter, the ductility factor and the maximum rotation angle are used as performance parameters, respectively. The effect of eccentricity, frequency ratio on responses of the one-storey asymmetric plan system, are analyzed based on the two types of capacity curves.
