Seismic resistance analysis and optimization of gymnasium truss structure

Abstract

The gymnasium is mainly composed of truss structure, with a large span, and requires high seismic performance. To ensure greater stability of the truss structure, modal analysis was conducted on the mechanical model, yielding the natural frequencies and modal shapes. In order to improve the seismic performance, BRB rods were added to the support points, and the frame structure was reinforced with diagonal braces. Through modal verification, it can be seen that the stiffness of the truss structure was significantly improved. The internal forces of the truss were simulated under the El Centro and Taft seismic wave conditions. The results show that the optimized structure can significantly reduce the internal forces and improve the overall seismic performance. The fundamental natural period of the reinforced structure is less than that of the unreinforced structure, and the stiffness of the reinforced steel structure increases, making it more sensitive to vertical seismic motion.
