Progressive Collapse of the Base-Isolated Frame Structures Supported by Stepped Foundation in Mountainous City

Abstract

Base-isolated frames supported by stepped foundation in mountainous areas possess their own particularity, so its progressive collapse dynamic response performance and dynamic effect propagation path are very different from those of ordinary flat ground-isolated structural systems. In order to study the progressive collapse performance of the base-isolated frames supported by stepped foundation in mountainous areas under two-directional coupled dynamic excitation, a four-span three-story plane frame demolition column test was simulated to verify the reliability of the computing platform. The common ground motion and three types of long-period ground motions were selected, and the two-dimensional dynamic coupling of the ordinary flat ground isolation structure and the base-isolated frames supported by stepped foundation in mountainous areas was obtained based on the demolition method. First, the seismic isolation structure was subjected to the collapse dynamic response under the vertical unbalanced load, then the collapse dynamic response under the vertical unbalanced load and the horizontal seismic coupling excitation was made; the two were compared and analyzed. It can be used as a reference for the design of progressive collapse of the frame structure of the base-isolated frames supported by stepped foundation in mountainous areas.
