Seismic response
摘要:
Here, to study seismic response characteristics of inclined masonry ancient pagodas, Tai Pagoda in Xunyi, Shaanxi Province was taken as the study object. The discrete element software 3-dimension distinct element code was used to establish inclined and non-inclined pagoda body models. Dynamic characteristics of pagoda body structures were calculated and compared with the results of in-situ dynamic tests. 3-directional El-Centro wave, Taft wave and Lanzhou artificial wave were input into models to calculate structural seismic responses. Damage evolution and collapse process of pagodas under earthquake action were analyzed, and their vulnerable areas and collapse modes were clarified. The results showed that the initial incline causes uneven stress distribution in pagoda bottom layer, and sudden change of local stiffness leads to increase in structural acceleration response;due to the whipping effect and offset of center of gravity after tilting, top layer's displacement response is the most significant, which is prone to pagoda body cracking and bloek falling;due to low shear strength of contact surfaces between blocks in ancient pagoda structure, shear slip failure is prone to occurring during earthquake, and failure process extends layer by layer from pagoda top downwards;inclination angle obviously affects pagoda seismic response, bottom floor has the maximum shear force, and pagoda structure shear force distribution is more largely affected by vertical load;under high-intensity earthquake action, failure state of inclined pagoda body changes from shear deformation Jo bending deformation, ancient pagoda structure's collapse mode is layer by layer collapse, and structural floor displacement responses suddenly increase;the study results can provide a reference for clarifying seismic hazard analysis of inclined masonry ancient pagodas. © 2025 Chinese Vibration Engineering Society.
