1 Introduction

Damage-based seismic design theory can intuitively controldamage behaviors experienced during an earthquake andhas consequently received substantial attention spanning amultitude of studies [1 2] In early research on damage-based seismic design methods [3 4] validating calculationsof the damage performance replaced those of elastic-plasticdeformation and the damage index did not play a primarycontrolling role in the seismic design process In consid-eration of this problem various direct damage-based seismicdesign theories have been proposed [5ndash7] Among them theoverall damage can be actively controlled within the seismicdesign process however these theories ignored both therationality of the relationship among the componentdamage states throughout the structure and the influences ofcomponent damage on the overall seismic performance ofthe structure Nevertheless in the process of damage-basedseismic design the overall damage to the structure must bedesigned and the relationship among component damage

states throughout the structure must be considered effec-tively -us the seismic damage performance of thestructure including the rationality of the componentdamage state relationships and the influences of the damagestates of the components on the overall seismic performanceof the structure should be thoroughly understood by thedesigner to direct the design process

In the current damage-based seismic design for simpletypes of structures such as frame structures and shear wallstructures the design process can be guided by determiningthe relationship among the component damage statesthrough two seismic concepts namely ldquostrong column-weak beamrdquo and ldquostrong wall limb-weak coupling beamrdquo[8ndash11] However in the damage-based seismic designprocedure for high-rise building structures such as frame-core tube structures the relationships among the com-ponent damage states are much more complex than thoseamong the components in simple types of structures due tothe diversity of component types For example there arerelationships among the damage states of the vertical and

horizontal components on the same floor applied to pre-vent soft-story behaviors [12] in addition there are re-lationships among the damage states of the verticalcomponents on the ground floor and the horizontalcomponents on the upper floors employed to investigatethe global damage mechanism [13] furthermore there arerelationships among the damage states of the verticalcomponents for understanding the cooperative workingmechanism of the outer frame and core tube [14] Ac-cordingly it is difficult for designers to comprehensivelydetermine and satisfy reasonable variations of the above-mentioned relationships among these component damagestates in frame-core tube structures through only seismicconcepts Hence in damage-based seismic design theinfluences of the damage states of these components on theoverall seismic performance including the overall struc-tural damage and interstory internal force should beunderstood effectively by the designer to actively determinethe sensible relationships among the component damagestates To date it has been proposed that the componentdamage states will influence the overall structural damagethrough the damage weighted coefficient however thiscoefficient reflects merely the numerical relationship be-tween the component damage index and the overalldamage index and thus it cannot reflect the influencesof the component damage states on the overall damage ofthe structure Although many theoretical analyses andexperimental studies on the seismic damage performancehave been performed [15ndash17] the influences of compo-nent damage states on the overall seismic performanceof frame-core tube structures have not been discussedcomprehensively

-erefore in this paper the seismic damage perfor-mance of a frame-core tube structure under an earthquakewill be studied in detail to direct the damage-based seismicdesign To reflect the seismic damage performance of thestructure under earthquake activity as much as possible aseries of shaking table tests which represent one of the mosteffective tools employed by researchers and designers tounderstand the seismic performance of structures was usedto comparatively study the seismic damage performances oftwo scaled models of frame-core tube structures In thesetests the seismic damage performances of the two modelswere compared to determine the most reasonable re-lationship among component damage states therein Inaddition the influences of the component damage states onthe overall seismic performance were analyzed and theinterstory internal force was quantified to validate the ra-tionality and advantages of the relationship among thecomponent damage states proposed in this paper

2 Model Design and Construction

21ModelDesign Twomodels of frame-core tube structureswere designed to comprehensively compare their seismicdamage performances One was an optimization modelwhose component damage states were optimized throughfinite element analysis and the other was a normative modeldesigned with the seismic design method based on Chinese

codes [18ndash20] -ese two model structures were designed toallow them to reach serious damage states without experi-encing overall structural collapse under a rare earthquakewhich is in accordance with the target damage states ofcollapse-forbidden under rare earthquake specified in theCode for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) thusthe maximum elastic-plastic interstory drift is limited to 1100 under the rare earthquake to control the target damagestates according to the Chinese code

In the design of the optimization model the componentdamage states were optimized to achieve a reasonabledamage target that satisfies the damage optimization prin-ciples proposed in this paper Considering that the com-ponent damage states can be effectively described based onthe concrete material damage states [21] the concretematerial damage index in this paper is defined by thedegradation of the concrete material unloading stiffness todetermine the component damage states according toChinese codes -e relationship between the materialdamage index and material unloading stiffness is given asfollows [20]

Ed (1minusd)E0 (1)

where E0 is the initial stiffness of concrete Ed is theunloading stiffness of concrete and d is the tension orcompression damage index of the concrete material that canbe calculated based on the procedure specified in the Chi-nese code For d 0 no damage occurs within the materialfor d 09 the material fails Considering that the failure ofthe concrete component is usually caused by the crushing ofthe concrete material in the component section the concretematerial pressure damage of the component section is usedto determine the component damage According to theprevious literature the damage index D that represents theaverage damage value of the components at the same floor isgiven as follows [22]

D 1113936

Ni1dn

N (2)

where dn is the maximum concrete material damage valueunder compression in the component section and N is thestatistical number of components at the same floor Todetermine the damage of a single component for comparingand optimizing the damage scale of each component in theoptimization model the value of N can be taken as 1 hencethe value of D is equal to the value of dn -erefore thedamage index dn is used to represent the damage of a singlecomponent -e component damage index values at dif-ferent damage levels are given in Table 1 in reference toprevious studies [4] -e damage optimization principlesand damage scale are summarized as follows

(1) -e horizontal components such as the couplingbeam and frame beam in the frame-core tubestructure may suffer greater damage consideringboth their ductility under a nonlinear damagestage and their postyield bearing capacity which isbeneficial for effectively exhibiting a cumulativeenergy dissipation capacity -erefore to permit the

component damage states to reach the corre-sponding serious damage levels reached under astrong earthquake the horizontal componentdamage index is designed to be between 06 and 09-e cross-sectional reinforcement of the horizontalcomponents can be reduced appropriately to in-crease the damage index during the damage opti-mization process

(2) -e damage states of the vertical components such asthe frame column and wall limb in the frame-coretube structure should be effectively limited to retain astable bearing capacity during an earthquake that isthe damage states of the vertical components (exceptfor the wall limb on the ground floor) should be ableto retain their basic integrity under strong earth-quake activity hence the damage index is controlledwithin 02 In contrast it is both difficult and un-necessary to retain a state of basic integrity for thewall limb on the ground floor since the wall limbbears most of the base shear and bending momentduring an earthquake hence the wall limb is per-mitted to remain in a state of slight damage and thedamage index is controlled within 04 -e cross-sectional reinforcement of the vertical componentmay be increased appropriately to decrease thedamage index during the damage optimizationprocess

(3) As they constitute the second design level of forti-fication under earthquake activity within a frame-core tube structure the frame columns within theouter frame should possess smaller damage statesthan the wall limbs in consideration of their col-laborative working mechanism

According to the damage optimization principles theoptimization design steps are as follows

(1) -e optimization model was designed preliminarilyaccording to Chinese codes [18ndash20] to determine thecomponent section and initial cross-sectionalreinforcement

(2) To ascertain the component damage states pushoveranalysis was performed on the structure To select thelateral load distribution pattern a modal inertialforce distribution pattern was adopted for thepushover analysis according to previous research[23] A maximum component damage value of 09was established as the target limiting state within thepushover analysis

(3) Optimize the component damage states For thehorizontal components reduce the cross-sectionalreinforcement if the damage index DL for the framebeams and the index DLL for the coupling beams are

less than 06 and end the optimization if the damageindices are greater than 06 For the vertical com-ponents (except for the wall limb on the groundfloor) increase the cross-sectional reinforcement ifthe damage index Dc for the frame columns and theindex Dw for the wall limbs on the upper floors aregreater than 02 and end the optimization if thedamage indices are less than 02 However for thewall limbs on the ground floor increase the cross-sectional reinforcement if the damage index isgreater than 04 and end the optimization if thedamage index is less than 04 -e damage re-lationship between the wall limbs and frame columnsshould be checked accordingly increase the cross-sectional reinforcement of the frame columns if Dc isgreater than Dw and end the check if Dc is less thanDw

(4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 after adjusting the componentsection reinforcements until the component damagestates in the structure satisfy the requirementsproposed in the abovementioned damage optimi-zation principles

(5) Verify whether the maximum elastic-plastic inter-story drift satisfies the limiting value specified in theChinese code [18] under the design earthquake If therequirement can be met end the optimizationotherwise increase the section reinforcements of thevertical components and recheck the interstory driftuntil it satisfies the limiting value

-e normative model was designed by following theChinese design code [18ndash20] to meet the required bearingcapacity and deformation In the design of the componentbearing capacity the seismic forces were evaluated by thevibration mode response spectrum method and the internalforces of the components were adjusted according to thetype of structure the structural height and the fortificationintensity -e reinforcement for each component wasdesigned by the ultimate limit states design method Toinvestigate elastic-plastic deformation the time historyanalysis method was used to verify the elastic-plasticinterstory drift angle under a rare earthquake to avoidoverall structural collapse

To compare the two models the component section ofthe optimization model was designed to be the same as thatof the normative model whose prototype componentsection structure is shown in Table 2 -e prototypestructures of the two models also have a same total heightof 100m a constant story height of 4m and plan di-mensions of 228m times 228m as shown in Figures 1 and 2-e two prototype buildings are assumed to be located in aregion with a seismic design intensity of 7 and a site class ofII -e floor loads of the structure are designed according

to the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures(LCDBS GB 50009-2012)-e component damage scales ofthe two models are obtained (as shown in Table 3) after the

two models are designed -e component cross-sectionalreinforcement ratio ρO of the optimization model and ρNof the normative model can be subsequently acquired andthe value of ρOρN is shown in Tables 4ndash7 In comparisonthe section reinforcements of the vertical components inthe optimization model were greater than those in thenormative model whereas the section reinforcements ofthe horizontal components in the optimization modelwere smaller than those in the normative model which isin accordance with the damage optimization principlesadopted herein

22 Model Material and Similitude Ratio -e modelstructure was designed and manufactured according to thestructure of the corresponding prototype Given the simi-larity requirements the selected materials must have a lowerYoungrsquos modulus and a higher volume weight than theprototype materials In addition the stress-strain relation-ship of the selected materials should be similar to that of theprototype materials In view of these considerationsmicroconcrete was used to simulate the concrete in themodel and galvanized steel wire was used to simulate thereinforcing bars To guarantee an appropriate model simi-larity factors such as the performance parameters of theshaking table construction conditions lifting capacity andlaboratory height should be considered Based on the ca-pacity and size of the shaking table and the ease with whichthe model can be fabricated a scaling factor of 115 waschosen for the model dimensions To determine the accel-eration scaling ratio the influence of laboratory environ-mental noise on the shaking table experiment the weight ofthe experimental model and the bearing capacity of theshaking table must all be taken into account therefore thescaling ratio of the acceleration was determined to be 3Furthermore according to the measured concrete stress-strain relationship the scaling factor for the elastic moduluswas determined to be 13 -e scaling factors for otherphysical quantities can be derived by the correspondingsimilarity principles and the typical scaling factors adoptedfor the model structure are shown in Table 8

-e basic design principles of the reinforcements in themodel are as follows (a) the bearing capacity of the normalsection was controlled in accordance with the equivalentbending capacity principle and (b) the bearing capacity ofthe oblique section was controlled in accordance with theequivalent shear capacity principle

23 Model Construction High precision and quality controlwere required for the construction of the two models due tothe size requirements for the fabrication of scale models

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

horizontal components on the same floor applied to pre-vent soft-story behaviors [12] in addition there are re-lationships among the damage states of the verticalcomponents on the ground floor and the horizontalcomponents on the upper floors employed to investigatethe global damage mechanism [13] furthermore there arerelationships among the damage states of the verticalcomponents for understanding the cooperative workingmechanism of the outer frame and core tube [14] Ac-cordingly it is difficult for designers to comprehensivelydetermine and satisfy reasonable variations of the above-mentioned relationships among these component damagestates in frame-core tube structures through only seismicconcepts Hence in damage-based seismic design theinfluences of the damage states of these components on theoverall seismic performance including the overall struc-tural damage and interstory internal force should beunderstood effectively by the designer to actively determinethe sensible relationships among the component damagestates To date it has been proposed that the componentdamage states will influence the overall structural damagethrough the damage weighted coefficient however thiscoefficient reflects merely the numerical relationship be-tween the component damage index and the overalldamage index and thus it cannot reflect the influencesof the component damage states on the overall damage ofthe structure Although many theoretical analyses andexperimental studies on the seismic damage performancehave been performed [15ndash17] the influences of compo-nent damage states on the overall seismic performanceof frame-core tube structures have not been discussedcomprehensively

-erefore in this paper the seismic damage perfor-mance of a frame-core tube structure under an earthquakewill be studied in detail to direct the damage-based seismicdesign To reflect the seismic damage performance of thestructure under earthquake activity as much as possible aseries of shaking table tests which represent one of the mosteffective tools employed by researchers and designers tounderstand the seismic performance of structures was usedto comparatively study the seismic damage performances oftwo scaled models of frame-core tube structures In thesetests the seismic damage performances of the two modelswere compared to determine the most reasonable re-lationship among component damage states therein Inaddition the influences of the component damage states onthe overall seismic performance were analyzed and theinterstory internal force was quantified to validate the ra-tionality and advantages of the relationship among thecomponent damage states proposed in this paper

2 Model Design and Construction

21ModelDesign Twomodels of frame-core tube structureswere designed to comprehensively compare their seismicdamage performances One was an optimization modelwhose component damage states were optimized throughfinite element analysis and the other was a normative modeldesigned with the seismic design method based on Chinese

codes [18ndash20] -ese two model structures were designed toallow them to reach serious damage states without experi-encing overall structural collapse under a rare earthquakewhich is in accordance with the target damage states ofcollapse-forbidden under rare earthquake specified in theCode for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) thusthe maximum elastic-plastic interstory drift is limited to 1100 under the rare earthquake to control the target damagestates according to the Chinese code

In the design of the optimization model the componentdamage states were optimized to achieve a reasonabledamage target that satisfies the damage optimization prin-ciples proposed in this paper Considering that the com-ponent damage states can be effectively described based onthe concrete material damage states [21] the concretematerial damage index in this paper is defined by thedegradation of the concrete material unloading stiffness todetermine the component damage states according toChinese codes -e relationship between the materialdamage index and material unloading stiffness is given asfollows [20]

Ed (1minusd)E0 (1)

where E0 is the initial stiffness of concrete Ed is theunloading stiffness of concrete and d is the tension orcompression damage index of the concrete material that canbe calculated based on the procedure specified in the Chi-nese code For d 0 no damage occurs within the materialfor d 09 the material fails Considering that the failure ofthe concrete component is usually caused by the crushing ofthe concrete material in the component section the concretematerial pressure damage of the component section is usedto determine the component damage According to theprevious literature the damage index D that represents theaverage damage value of the components at the same floor isgiven as follows [22]

D 1113936

Ni1dn

N (2)

where dn is the maximum concrete material damage valueunder compression in the component section and N is thestatistical number of components at the same floor Todetermine the damage of a single component for comparingand optimizing the damage scale of each component in theoptimization model the value of N can be taken as 1 hencethe value of D is equal to the value of dn -erefore thedamage index dn is used to represent the damage of a singlecomponent -e component damage index values at dif-ferent damage levels are given in Table 1 in reference toprevious studies [4] -e damage optimization principlesand damage scale are summarized as follows

(1) -e horizontal components such as the couplingbeam and frame beam in the frame-core tubestructure may suffer greater damage consideringboth their ductility under a nonlinear damagestage and their postyield bearing capacity which isbeneficial for effectively exhibiting a cumulativeenergy dissipation capacity -erefore to permit the

component damage states to reach the corre-sponding serious damage levels reached under astrong earthquake the horizontal componentdamage index is designed to be between 06 and 09-e cross-sectional reinforcement of the horizontalcomponents can be reduced appropriately to in-crease the damage index during the damage opti-mization process

(2) -e damage states of the vertical components such asthe frame column and wall limb in the frame-coretube structure should be effectively limited to retain astable bearing capacity during an earthquake that isthe damage states of the vertical components (exceptfor the wall limb on the ground floor) should be ableto retain their basic integrity under strong earth-quake activity hence the damage index is controlledwithin 02 In contrast it is both difficult and un-necessary to retain a state of basic integrity for thewall limb on the ground floor since the wall limbbears most of the base shear and bending momentduring an earthquake hence the wall limb is per-mitted to remain in a state of slight damage and thedamage index is controlled within 04 -e cross-sectional reinforcement of the vertical componentmay be increased appropriately to decrease thedamage index during the damage optimizationprocess

(3) As they constitute the second design level of forti-fication under earthquake activity within a frame-core tube structure the frame columns within theouter frame should possess smaller damage statesthan the wall limbs in consideration of their col-laborative working mechanism

According to the damage optimization principles theoptimization design steps are as follows

(1) -e optimization model was designed preliminarilyaccording to Chinese codes [18ndash20] to determine thecomponent section and initial cross-sectionalreinforcement

(2) To ascertain the component damage states pushoveranalysis was performed on the structure To select thelateral load distribution pattern a modal inertialforce distribution pattern was adopted for thepushover analysis according to previous research[23] A maximum component damage value of 09was established as the target limiting state within thepushover analysis

(3) Optimize the component damage states For thehorizontal components reduce the cross-sectionalreinforcement if the damage index DL for the framebeams and the index DLL for the coupling beams are

less than 06 and end the optimization if the damageindices are greater than 06 For the vertical com-ponents (except for the wall limb on the groundfloor) increase the cross-sectional reinforcement ifthe damage index Dc for the frame columns and theindex Dw for the wall limbs on the upper floors aregreater than 02 and end the optimization if thedamage indices are less than 02 However for thewall limbs on the ground floor increase the cross-sectional reinforcement if the damage index isgreater than 04 and end the optimization if thedamage index is less than 04 -e damage re-lationship between the wall limbs and frame columnsshould be checked accordingly increase the cross-sectional reinforcement of the frame columns if Dc isgreater than Dw and end the check if Dc is less thanDw

(4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 after adjusting the componentsection reinforcements until the component damagestates in the structure satisfy the requirementsproposed in the abovementioned damage optimi-zation principles

(5) Verify whether the maximum elastic-plastic inter-story drift satisfies the limiting value specified in theChinese code [18] under the design earthquake If therequirement can be met end the optimizationotherwise increase the section reinforcements of thevertical components and recheck the interstory driftuntil it satisfies the limiting value

-e normative model was designed by following theChinese design code [18ndash20] to meet the required bearingcapacity and deformation In the design of the componentbearing capacity the seismic forces were evaluated by thevibration mode response spectrum method and the internalforces of the components were adjusted according to thetype of structure the structural height and the fortificationintensity -e reinforcement for each component wasdesigned by the ultimate limit states design method Toinvestigate elastic-plastic deformation the time historyanalysis method was used to verify the elastic-plasticinterstory drift angle under a rare earthquake to avoidoverall structural collapse

To compare the two models the component section ofthe optimization model was designed to be the same as thatof the normative model whose prototype componentsection structure is shown in Table 2 -e prototypestructures of the two models also have a same total heightof 100m a constant story height of 4m and plan di-mensions of 228m times 228m as shown in Figures 1 and 2-e two prototype buildings are assumed to be located in aregion with a seismic design intensity of 7 and a site class ofII -e floor loads of the structure are designed according

to the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures(LCDBS GB 50009-2012)-e component damage scales ofthe two models are obtained (as shown in Table 3) after the

two models are designed -e component cross-sectionalreinforcement ratio ρO of the optimization model and ρNof the normative model can be subsequently acquired andthe value of ρOρN is shown in Tables 4ndash7 In comparisonthe section reinforcements of the vertical components inthe optimization model were greater than those in thenormative model whereas the section reinforcements ofthe horizontal components in the optimization modelwere smaller than those in the normative model which isin accordance with the damage optimization principlesadopted herein

22 Model Material and Similitude Ratio -e modelstructure was designed and manufactured according to thestructure of the corresponding prototype Given the simi-larity requirements the selected materials must have a lowerYoungrsquos modulus and a higher volume weight than theprototype materials In addition the stress-strain relation-ship of the selected materials should be similar to that of theprototype materials In view of these considerationsmicroconcrete was used to simulate the concrete in themodel and galvanized steel wire was used to simulate thereinforcing bars To guarantee an appropriate model simi-larity factors such as the performance parameters of theshaking table construction conditions lifting capacity andlaboratory height should be considered Based on the ca-pacity and size of the shaking table and the ease with whichthe model can be fabricated a scaling factor of 115 waschosen for the model dimensions To determine the accel-eration scaling ratio the influence of laboratory environ-mental noise on the shaking table experiment the weight ofthe experimental model and the bearing capacity of theshaking table must all be taken into account therefore thescaling ratio of the acceleration was determined to be 3Furthermore according to the measured concrete stress-strain relationship the scaling factor for the elastic moduluswas determined to be 13 -e scaling factors for otherphysical quantities can be derived by the correspondingsimilarity principles and the typical scaling factors adoptedfor the model structure are shown in Table 8

-e basic design principles of the reinforcements in themodel are as follows (a) the bearing capacity of the normalsection was controlled in accordance with the equivalentbending capacity principle and (b) the bearing capacity ofthe oblique section was controlled in accordance with theequivalent shear capacity principle

23 Model Construction High precision and quality controlwere required for the construction of the two models due tothe size requirements for the fabrication of scale models

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

component damage states to reach the corre-sponding serious damage levels reached under astrong earthquake the horizontal componentdamage index is designed to be between 06 and 09-e cross-sectional reinforcement of the horizontalcomponents can be reduced appropriately to in-crease the damage index during the damage opti-mization process

(2) -e damage states of the vertical components such asthe frame column and wall limb in the frame-coretube structure should be effectively limited to retain astable bearing capacity during an earthquake that isthe damage states of the vertical components (exceptfor the wall limb on the ground floor) should be ableto retain their basic integrity under strong earth-quake activity hence the damage index is controlledwithin 02 In contrast it is both difficult and un-necessary to retain a state of basic integrity for thewall limb on the ground floor since the wall limbbears most of the base shear and bending momentduring an earthquake hence the wall limb is per-mitted to remain in a state of slight damage and thedamage index is controlled within 04 -e cross-sectional reinforcement of the vertical componentmay be increased appropriately to decrease thedamage index during the damage optimizationprocess

(3) As they constitute the second design level of forti-fication under earthquake activity within a frame-core tube structure the frame columns within theouter frame should possess smaller damage statesthan the wall limbs in consideration of their col-laborative working mechanism

According to the damage optimization principles theoptimization design steps are as follows

(1) -e optimization model was designed preliminarilyaccording to Chinese codes [18ndash20] to determine thecomponent section and initial cross-sectionalreinforcement

(2) To ascertain the component damage states pushoveranalysis was performed on the structure To select thelateral load distribution pattern a modal inertialforce distribution pattern was adopted for thepushover analysis according to previous research[23] A maximum component damage value of 09was established as the target limiting state within thepushover analysis

(3) Optimize the component damage states For thehorizontal components reduce the cross-sectionalreinforcement if the damage index DL for the framebeams and the index DLL for the coupling beams are

less than 06 and end the optimization if the damageindices are greater than 06 For the vertical com-ponents (except for the wall limb on the groundfloor) increase the cross-sectional reinforcement ifthe damage index Dc for the frame columns and theindex Dw for the wall limbs on the upper floors aregreater than 02 and end the optimization if thedamage indices are less than 02 However for thewall limbs on the ground floor increase the cross-sectional reinforcement if the damage index isgreater than 04 and end the optimization if thedamage index is less than 04 -e damage re-lationship between the wall limbs and frame columnsshould be checked accordingly increase the cross-sectional reinforcement of the frame columns if Dc isgreater than Dw and end the check if Dc is less thanDw

(4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 after adjusting the componentsection reinforcements until the component damagestates in the structure satisfy the requirementsproposed in the abovementioned damage optimi-zation principles

(5) Verify whether the maximum elastic-plastic inter-story drift satisfies the limiting value specified in theChinese code [18] under the design earthquake If therequirement can be met end the optimizationotherwise increase the section reinforcements of thevertical components and recheck the interstory driftuntil it satisfies the limiting value

-e normative model was designed by following theChinese design code [18ndash20] to meet the required bearingcapacity and deformation In the design of the componentbearing capacity the seismic forces were evaluated by thevibration mode response spectrum method and the internalforces of the components were adjusted according to thetype of structure the structural height and the fortificationintensity -e reinforcement for each component wasdesigned by the ultimate limit states design method Toinvestigate elastic-plastic deformation the time historyanalysis method was used to verify the elastic-plasticinterstory drift angle under a rare earthquake to avoidoverall structural collapse

To compare the two models the component section ofthe optimization model was designed to be the same as thatof the normative model whose prototype componentsection structure is shown in Table 2 -e prototypestructures of the two models also have a same total heightof 100m a constant story height of 4m and plan di-mensions of 228m times 228m as shown in Figures 1 and 2-e two prototype buildings are assumed to be located in aregion with a seismic design intensity of 7 and a site class ofII -e floor loads of the structure are designed according

to the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures(LCDBS GB 50009-2012)-e component damage scales ofthe two models are obtained (as shown in Table 3) after the

two models are designed -e component cross-sectionalreinforcement ratio ρO of the optimization model and ρNof the normative model can be subsequently acquired andthe value of ρOρN is shown in Tables 4ndash7 In comparisonthe section reinforcements of the vertical components inthe optimization model were greater than those in thenormative model whereas the section reinforcements ofthe horizontal components in the optimization modelwere smaller than those in the normative model which isin accordance with the damage optimization principlesadopted herein

22 Model Material and Similitude Ratio -e modelstructure was designed and manufactured according to thestructure of the corresponding prototype Given the simi-larity requirements the selected materials must have a lowerYoungrsquos modulus and a higher volume weight than theprototype materials In addition the stress-strain relation-ship of the selected materials should be similar to that of theprototype materials In view of these considerationsmicroconcrete was used to simulate the concrete in themodel and galvanized steel wire was used to simulate thereinforcing bars To guarantee an appropriate model simi-larity factors such as the performance parameters of theshaking table construction conditions lifting capacity andlaboratory height should be considered Based on the ca-pacity and size of the shaking table and the ease with whichthe model can be fabricated a scaling factor of 115 waschosen for the model dimensions To determine the accel-eration scaling ratio the influence of laboratory environ-mental noise on the shaking table experiment the weight ofthe experimental model and the bearing capacity of theshaking table must all be taken into account therefore thescaling ratio of the acceleration was determined to be 3Furthermore according to the measured concrete stress-strain relationship the scaling factor for the elastic moduluswas determined to be 13 -e scaling factors for otherphysical quantities can be derived by the correspondingsimilarity principles and the typical scaling factors adoptedfor the model structure are shown in Table 8

-e basic design principles of the reinforcements in themodel are as follows (a) the bearing capacity of the normalsection was controlled in accordance with the equivalentbending capacity principle and (b) the bearing capacity ofthe oblique section was controlled in accordance with theequivalent shear capacity principle

23 Model Construction High precision and quality controlwere required for the construction of the two models due tothe size requirements for the fabrication of scale models

31 Instruments and Transducer To monitor the globalresponses as well as the local states of the model struc-tures during the experiments three kinds of sensors wereused an acceleration transducer a displacement trans-ducer and an electrical resistance strain gauge-e layoutof sensors throughout the model should be arrangedeffectively according to the force characteristics of thestructure After performing finite element analysis onthe damage to the prototype structure a total of 122sensors were placed at different measuring points -e

acceleration and displacement sensors were arrangedevenly along the structural height the positions of themeasuring points on the floors are shown in Figure 1Seventeen acceleration transducers were installed atmeasuring point A located in the plan while sixteendisplacement transducers were established at measuringpoints B C and D To measure the strain and damage ofeach component in the structure under shaking condi-tions strain gauges were placed in unfavorable regionsthat is in regions where the components in the structureare likely to become severely damaged during an earth-quake -rough finite element analysis the regions weredetermined as follows (a) the damage region in the framebeam is concentrated mainly at the beam end (b) thedamage region in the coupling beam is concentratedmainly at the beam end and within the oblique section atthe midspan of the beam (c) the damage region in theframe column is concentrated mainly at the column endand the root of the frame column at the base and (d) thedamage region of the wall limb is concentrated mainly atthe end of the wall limb A total of eight-nine straingauges were installed

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

to the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures(LCDBS GB 50009-2012)-e component damage scales ofthe two models are obtained (as shown in Table 3) after the

two models are designed -e component cross-sectionalreinforcement ratio ρO of the optimization model and ρNof the normative model can be subsequently acquired andthe value of ρOρN is shown in Tables 4ndash7 In comparisonthe section reinforcements of the vertical components inthe optimization model were greater than those in thenormative model whereas the section reinforcements ofthe horizontal components in the optimization modelwere smaller than those in the normative model which isin accordance with the damage optimization principlesadopted herein

22 Model Material and Similitude Ratio -e modelstructure was designed and manufactured according to thestructure of the corresponding prototype Given the simi-larity requirements the selected materials must have a lowerYoungrsquos modulus and a higher volume weight than theprototype materials In addition the stress-strain relation-ship of the selected materials should be similar to that of theprototype materials In view of these considerationsmicroconcrete was used to simulate the concrete in themodel and galvanized steel wire was used to simulate thereinforcing bars To guarantee an appropriate model simi-larity factors such as the performance parameters of theshaking table construction conditions lifting capacity andlaboratory height should be considered Based on the ca-pacity and size of the shaking table and the ease with whichthe model can be fabricated a scaling factor of 115 waschosen for the model dimensions To determine the accel-eration scaling ratio the influence of laboratory environ-mental noise on the shaking table experiment the weight ofthe experimental model and the bearing capacity of theshaking table must all be taken into account therefore thescaling ratio of the acceleration was determined to be 3Furthermore according to the measured concrete stress-strain relationship the scaling factor for the elastic moduluswas determined to be 13 -e scaling factors for otherphysical quantities can be derived by the correspondingsimilarity principles and the typical scaling factors adoptedfor the model structure are shown in Table 8

-e basic design principles of the reinforcements in themodel are as follows (a) the bearing capacity of the normalsection was controlled in accordance with the equivalentbending capacity principle and (b) the bearing capacity ofthe oblique section was controlled in accordance with theequivalent shear capacity principle

23 Model Construction High precision and quality controlwere required for the construction of the two models due tothe size requirements for the fabrication of scale models

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

strong earthquakes and that the bearing capacity of thosevertical components may remain more stable during astrong earthquake

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

31 Instruments and Transducer To monitor the globalresponses as well as the local states of the model struc-tures during the experiments three kinds of sensors wereused an acceleration transducer a displacement trans-ducer and an electrical resistance strain gauge-e layoutof sensors throughout the model should be arrangedeffectively according to the force characteristics of thestructure After performing finite element analysis onthe damage to the prototype structure a total of 122sensors were placed at different measuring points -e

acceleration and displacement sensors were arrangedevenly along the structural height the positions of themeasuring points on the floors are shown in Figure 1Seventeen acceleration transducers were installed atmeasuring point A located in the plan while sixteendisplacement transducers were established at measuringpoints B C and D To measure the strain and damage ofeach component in the structure under shaking condi-tions strain gauges were placed in unfavorable regionsthat is in regions where the components in the structureare likely to become severely damaged during an earth-quake -rough finite element analysis the regions weredetermined as follows (a) the damage region in the framebeam is concentrated mainly at the beam end (b) thedamage region in the coupling beam is concentratedmainly at the beam end and within the oblique section atthe midspan of the beam (c) the damage region in theframe column is concentrated mainly at the column endand the root of the frame column at the base and (d) thedamage region of the wall limb is concentrated mainly atthe end of the wall limb A total of eight-nine straingauges were installed

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

32 Input Seismic Waves -e seismic waves are selectedaccording to the Chinese code -e selection principles offrequency contents intensity and duration of the seismicwaves are as follows

(1) No fewer than two natural accelerograms and anartificial accelerogram are selected according to thesite category and the design seismic group -eaverage value of the response spectra of the threeseismic waves at the primary periodic point of themodel structure is no more than 20 of the designresponse spectrum

(2) -e peak acceleration of each seismic wave should bemagnified or reduced to reflect different levels ofearthquakes according to the design seismic accel-eration peaks specified in the Chinese code

(3) -e duration of each seismic wave should be morethan 5ndash10 times the structural primary period

According to the abovementioned principles threeearthquake waves namely the El Centro wave and theHollywood wave in addition to an artificial wave were se-lected in this paper as shown in Figure 4 -e responsespectrum values of the three seismic waves at the primaryperiodic point were obtained from which the input se-quences of the three earthquake waves were determined asan artificial wave an El Centro wave and a Hollywood wave

33 Test Program -e peak accelerations corresponding todifferent intensities which were chosen according to theChinese code (as shown in Table 9) were magnified to obtainthe peak accelerations of the seismic input waves for the testcases -e peak acceleration values for the test cases can bemagnified to 0105sim066 g according to the scaling factor ofthe acceleration To further investigate the damage perfor-mance under an incredibly rare earthquake an experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g was performed Since acomparison of the response spectrum values of the threeseismic waves reveals that the response spectrum reaches amaximum under the action of the Hollywood seismic wavethe Hollywood seismic wave was selected for the experimentwith an acceleration peak of 076 g A summary of the inputwaves for these shaking tests is provided in Table 10 Duringthe experiments a total of 23 working conditions were appliedin the normative model and the optimization model Beforethe input of each event white noise was input first to acquirethe model dynamic behavior at that moment simulations ofthe artificial record El Centro record and Hollywood recordwere then input to the model in succession

In addition the durations of the seismic waves shouldalso be reduced according to the scaling factor of the period-e relationship among the periodic similarity ratio thegeometric similarity ratio and the acceleration similarityratio can be given as follows

ST S05l Sminus05a 0667 times 1732 0149 (3)

where ST is the periodic similarity ratio Sa is the accelerationsimilarity ratio and Sl is the geometric similarity ratio -us

the time interval and the duration of the seismic waves werereduced to 0149 times those of the original seismic wavesaccording to the value of ST and the input direction was one-way horizontal

4 Results and Discussion

41 Experimental Phenomena After the tests comprisingfrequent earthquake intensities of 7 and 8 visible cracks didnot appear on the surfaces of the components-emeasurednatural vibration frequencies of the two models remainedconstant throughout the tests thereby explaining why nodamage occurred in either model during the experimentsAfter the test with a basic earthquake intensity of 7 therewere still no obvious visible cracks on the surfaces of thecomponents but the natural vibration frequencies of the twomodels decreased indicating that damage had begun tooccur in both models In the tests with a basic earthquakeintensity of 7 (015 g) and a rare earthquake intensity of 7 themodels exhibited slight levels of noise during the vibrationsand visible cracks appeared in the coupling beam and framebeam moreover the natural frequencies of the two modelsfurther decreased indicating that the damage in the twomodels became further aggravated To evaluate the damagesuffered by the components during the earthquake in greaterdetail a test with an acceleration peak of 076 g was con-ducted using the Hollywood seismic wave During thisexperiment the vibration amplitudes of the twomodels werelarger than those during the previous tests and someconcrete debris fell from the model exhibiting obvious noiseAfter the completion of the test visible cracks were clearlyobserved in both models with distributions concentrated onthe surfaces of the coupling beams and frame beams Bycontrast no obvious visible cracks were observed on thesurfaces of the shear walls and frame columns Typicalexamples of cracks in the component are shown in Figure 5

42 Dynamic Characteristics -e frequencies of the twomodels at different phases were obtained through a whitenoise scan the variations in the first two frequencies at theend of each instant phase are shown in Tables 11 and 12With an increase in the earthquake acceleration the first twofrequencies gradually decreased whereas the damping ratiogradually increased indicating that the two models had beendamaged under the earthquake and that the degree ofdamage increased with an increase in the earthquake ac-celeration In comparison the first two frequencies of thenormative model were reduced by 377 and 174 at theend of case 22 similarly the first two frequencies of theoptimization model were reduced by 327 and 167showing that the natural vibration frequency of the nor-mative model decreased faster than that of the optimizationmodel Under the action of an earthquake structuraldamage will lead to a decrease in the natural vibrationfrequency Many previous studies have shown that the levelof damage becomes more serious with faster decreases in thenatural frequency under the action of an earthquake [24 25]-erefore the normative model was damaged more severely

than the optimization model under the action of a strongearthquake according to the relationship between thedamage and the natural frequency In addition the dampingratio in the optimization model became larger than that inthe normative model under the action of a strong earth-quake which means that the optimization model has astronger energy dissipation potential

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

the horizontal components in the optimization model suf-fered greater damage and that the damage suffered by thosecomponents increased more rapidly during the strongearthquake than did those in the normative model which isin accordance with the aim of damage optimization

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

strong earthquakes and that the bearing capacity of thosevertical components may remain more stable during astrong earthquake

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

than the optimization model under the action of a strongearthquake according to the relationship between thedamage and the natural frequency In addition the dampingratio in the optimization model became larger than that inthe normative model under the action of a strong earth-quake which means that the optimization model has astronger energy dissipation potential

43 Damage Analysis for Components -e damage sufferedby an actual structure is generally described by the charac-teristics of cracks on the surfaces of the components of thatstructure However such cracks can be described only bylimited qualitative descriptions that is they cannot be ef-fectively described quantitatively In response to this problemsome influencing factors should be chosen to analyze thecomponent damage states -e component-based Park-Angdamage model [26] and the material-based damage model[27] show that the deformation and strain of a componenthave a direct correlation with the damage suffered by thecomponent Excessive deformation of a component will leadto excessive strain which inevitably leads to the cracking ofconcrete or the crushing of a component in other words thelarger the deformation or strain of a component the moresevere the component damage In view of this relationshipthe strain of a component can be chosen to quantitativelycompare the seismic damage performances of the two modelsin the tests Because the damage done to a structure cumu-latively increases under an earthquake and does not disappearwith variations in the seismic wave it is more meaningful tocompare the cumulative damage suffered under the threeseismic waves under the same earthquake intensity -ere-fore the envelope of the maximum strain value under each

seismic wave was selected for an analysis of the damagesuffered by the components

431 Horizontal Component -e strains of the horizontalcomponents such as the coupling beam and frame beamwere extracted for a comparison of their damage states asshown in Figures 6 and 7 A comparison shows that thestrain distributions of the horizontal components in both ofthe models were similar under the same earthquake activityand the maximum strain appeared on the middle floors ofboth models In the case of a frequent earthquake with anintensity of 7 the distributions of the strain values in bothmodels were approximately identical along the structuralheight as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a) However with anincrease in the earthquake acceleration the strain values inthe two models became different As shown in Figures 6(b)and 7(b) the strains of the coupling beams and the framebeams in the optimization model were obviously larger thanthose in the normative model under the basic earthquakewith an intensity of 7 and the difference in the strain be-tween the two models became increasingly obvious underthe rare earthquake with an intensity of 7 as shown inFigures 6(c) and 7(c) To analyze the strain evolutionthroughout the entire experiment the strains of the hori-zontal components on the 8th and 11th floors wereextracted as shown in Figure 8 In comparison the strain inthe optimization model increased more rapidly than that inthe normative model throughout the entire test except forthe cases involving frequent earthquakes with intensities of 7and 8 -rough detailed observations acquired after the testwas complete the bearing capacities of the horizontalcomponents remained stable -ese findings indicate that

10 show that the strain distributions in both models weresimilar under the same earthquake activity and the strainvalues on the ground floor were much larger than those onthe upper floors However the strain values in the twomodels developed different characteristics with an increasein the earthquake acceleration In the case of frequentearthquakes with an intensity of 7 the strain values of thevertical components in both models were approximatelyidentical along the structural height However in the cases ofboth basic and rare earthquakes with an intensity of 7 thestrain values in the normative model became larger thanthose in the optimization model on the same floors-rougha further comparison of the damage suffered by the framecolumns in the two models comparatively large strains were

found on the middle floors of the normative model (but notthe ground floor) under the action of a strong earthquake asshown in Figure 10(c) whereas the strains in the optimi-zation model were reasonably limited -is result indicatesthat abrupt changes in the damage state may have occurredin the frame columns on the middle floors of the normativemodel To analyze the strain evolution throughout the entireexperiment the strains of the vertical component on the 1stand 11th floors were extracted as shown in Figure 11 -estrains in the normative model were obviously larger thanthose in the optimization model during the entire test exceptfor the cases involving frequent earthquakes -is findingmeans that the development of damage in the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can be limited under

strong earthquakes and that the bearing capacity of thosevertical components may remain more stable during astrong earthquake

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

strong earthquakes and that the bearing capacity of thosevertical components may remain more stable during astrong earthquake

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

strong earthquakes and that the bearing capacity of thosevertical components may remain more stable during astrong earthquake

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

433 Relationship between Damages in Horizontal Com-ponent and Vertical Component According to the com-parative analysis of the component damage states in theprevious section the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the optimization modelchange the relationship among the damage states in both kindsof components As shown in Figure 12 the values of εLεc andεLLεw can reflect the relationship among the damage states inthe horizontal and vertical components where εL εLL εc andεw represent the maximum strain values for the frame beamcoupling beam frame column and wall limb respectively oneach floor -e values of εLεc and εLLεw in the two modelstructures are both greater than 1 indicating that the damagesuffered by the horizontal components is greater than that bythe vertical components which suggests that the two seismicdamage mechanisms namely ldquostrong wall limb-weak cou-pling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak frame beamrdquoare both realized on each floor However the values of εLεcand εLLεw in the optimization model are apparently greaterthan those in the normative model on each floor indicatingthat regions with greater damage were concentrated on thehorizontal components and that the damage to the verticalcomponent was relatively reduced in the optimization modelin comparison with the normative model

In the seismic design for a frame-core tube structure theabovementioned relationship among the damage states inthe vertical and horizontal components on the same floor isable to prevent only the development of soft-story behaviorsthat is this relationship does not ensure the development ofa global damage mechanism [28ndash31] -is kind of damagemechanism can be described by the relationship among thedamage states in the vertical components on the groundfloor and the horizontal components on the upper floors inthis case the damage suffered by the vertical componentsshould be reasonably limited to ensure that its damage issmaller than that suffered by the horizontal components onthe upper floors As shown in Figures 13 and 14 under a rareearthquake the damage sustained by the horizontal com-ponents on the upper floors in the normative model is closeto that sustained by the vertical components on the groundfloor However this kind of relationship among componentdamage states cannot ensure that the energy dissipationcapacity and ductility of the horizontal components aremaximized [13] In contrast the damage sustained by thehorizontal components on each floor in the optimizationmodel were apparently greater than those sustained by thevertical components on the ground floor consequently aglobal damage mechanism developed easily under earth-quake activity In other words the ldquostrong wall limb-weakcoupling beamrdquo and ldquostrong frame column-weak framebeamrdquo damage mechanisms in the optimization model canbe applied more effectively to the entire structure than to theindividual floors of the structure

434 Relationship between Damages in the Wall Limb andFrame Column Due to the differences in the damage sus-tained by the vertical components in the two models underthe action of a strong earthquake the relationship among thedamage states of these components may influence the col-laborative working mechanism between the outer frame andcore tube -e value of εcεw can reflect the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame column and wall limbwhere εc and εw represent the maximum strain values for theframe column and wall limb respectively on each floorAccording to the distributions of damage within the framecolumns and shear walls the damage on the ground floor isgenerally the largest and thus the damage sustained at theground floor plays a substantial role in controlling theabovementioned collaborative workingmechanism-e εcεwvalues on the ground floors of the two models were extracted

as shown in Figure 15 -e values of εcεw in the two modelsare both less than 1 indicating that the damage sustained bythe frame column is less severe than that sustained by the walllimb hence the collaborative working mechanism is realizedin both models -rough further comparison the values ofεcεw in the normative model clearly increased more thanthose in the optimization model with an increase in theacceleration peak -is finding indicates that the frame col-umn on the ground floor in the normative model wasdamaged more severely with an increase in the earthquakelevel and thus the reliability of the bearing capacity of theouter frame serving as the second line of fortification cannotbe ensured In contrast the damage sustained by the framecolumn on the ground floor was limited more effectively inthe optimization model with which an antiseismic designfortification line can be better implemented and the collab-orative working mechanism can be better realized

44 Overall Damage Analysis -e increase in the damagesustained by the horizontal components and the decrease inthe damage sustained by the vertical componentsthroughout the structure inevitably influence the overallstructural damage In this paper to comprehensively con-sider the adverse effects of structural stiffness degradationand second-order gravity effects on high-rise buildings anevaluation index based on the degradation of the equivalentrigidity-to-weight ratio is used to represent the overalldamage [32] and is expressed as follows

F 1minusλ2iλ20

(4)

where F is the structure failure index λ0 is the initial ratio ofequivalent rigid-to-weight and λi is the instantaneous ratioof equivalent rigidity-to-weight after suffering structuraldamage -e formula for λi is [32]

λi Keqi

GH2(5)

whereKeqi is the equivalent lateral stiffness at anymoment ofstiffness degradation G is the weight of the structure and H

is the total height of the structure -e two model structureshave the same value of G and H -erefore λi is determinedby Keqi Due to the different damage performance of the twomodel structure the variations in equivalent lateral stiffnessare inevitably affected during the tests According to theliterature [32] the equivalent stiffness Keqi is a parameterwhich is used to represent the overall stiffness of structureunder the action of an earthquake -us in this paper thestiffness of equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system(SDOF) can be used to represent Keqi To calculate Keqi themodel structure was transformed into the SDOF systemusing the shape vector based on the first modal shape of thestructure -e equation for the equivalent SDOF system isgiven as follows [33]

M eurox + C _x + Kx minusM euroxg (6)

where M C and K denote the properties of the equivalentSDOF system -erefore Keqi can be expressed by K asfollows

Keqi K Mlowast (2πf)2 (7)

where fi is the primary natural frequency of the structureafter the ith earthquake

Equations (5) and (7) are presented in equation (4) toobtain the variation in the overall damage index at differentearthquake levels as shown in Table 13

-e relationship between the damage grade and therange of the index is shown in Table 14 [32] Figure 16 showsthe curves of the overall damage sustained by both models atdifferent earthquake levels -e overall damage indices ofboth models are 0 under frequent earthquakes with in-tensities of 7 and 8 in accordance with experimental phe-nomena With an increase in the acceleration the overalldamage suffered within the optimization model under basicearthquake activities was larger than that within the nor-mative model because the horizontal components became

damaged in the optimization model faster than those in thenormative model due to the damage optimization which ledto faster degradation in the early stage of the overall stiffnessdeterioration of the structure With a further increase in theacceleration the overall damage suffered within the opti-mization model became smaller than that within the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquakeshowing that the overall stiffness deterioration of the op-timization model was effectively controlled during thestrong earthquake because the damage sustained by thevertical components especially the frame column in theouter frame was effectively limited under such conditions

45 Shear Force and Overturning Moment Due to the in-crease in the damage sustained by the horizontal compo-nents and the decrease in the damage sustained by thevertical components the structures consequently exhibiteddifferent internal force responses -e maximum storyshears of the two models are shown in Figures 17 and 18Under the activities of frequent earthquakes with an in-tensity of 7 the story shears in both models gradually in-creased from the upper floor to the lower floor therebyshowing an obvious triangular distribution along thestructural height -e distributions were similar under thethree different seismic waves because the two models stillbehaved elastically under frequent earthquakes With anincrease in the acceleration peak the distribution of the storyshear in the normative model changed obviously under theactivities of strong earthquakes whereas that in the opti-mization model varied little as shown in Figures 17(b) and18(b) -ese results indicate that the internal force responseof the optimization model under the activities of strong

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

earthquakes was more stable than that of the normativemodel making it easier to actively control the seismic ca-pability of the structure in the seismic design By furthercomparing the story shear with the overturning moment oneach floor the story shear and the overturning moment ofthe optimization model under the action of a rare earth-quake were both smaller than those in the normative model

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes

as shown in Figures 19 and 20 -e relationship among thecomponent damage states in the optimization model couldfurther reduce the seismic demand of the internal forcethereby making the structure more resistant to earthquakes

5 Conclusions

In this paper the component damage states in two modelswere experimentally and analytically investigated -e fol-lowing conclusions can be drawn from the shaking tabletests performed herein

(1) In comparison with the variations in the frequenciesand damping ratios of the two models the optimi-zation model was damaged less severely and had astronger energy dissipation potential than the nor-mative model under the action of a strong earthquake

(2) -e horizontal components whose damage wasoptimized in the optimization model can undergogreater damage thus the ductility in the nonlineardamage stage and the postyield bearing capacitycan be exploited during an earthquake -e con-straint on the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents in the optimization model can permitthe bearing capacity to remain more stable during astrong earthquake

(3) -e optimization of the relationship amongthe damage states of the horizontal and verticalcomponents in the optimization model causes theregions exhibiting greater damage to become con-centrated on the horizontal components Moreovera global damagemechanism can be developed duringa strong earthquake and thus the energy dissipation

capacity and ductility of the horizontal componentscan be more effectively maximized In addition theoptimization of the damage sustained by the verticalcomponents can ensure the reliability of the bearingcapacity of the outer frame acting as a second for-tification line further optimizing the relationshipamong the damage states of the frame columns andwall limbs and better implementing the collaborativeworking mechanism between the two lateral forcesystems in the frame-core tube structure

(4) -e results of an overall damage evaluation provethat an increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and a decrease in the damagesustained by the vertical components in the opti-mization model can effectively limit the overallstiffness deterioration and the development ofoverall damage during strong earthquakes in com-parison with the normative model

(5) -e internal force response can be further optimizeddue to the increase in the damage sustained by thehorizontal components and the decrease in thedamage sustained by the vertical components in theoptimization model -e distribution of the storyshear along the height of the structure can be im-proved during a strong earthquake and the demandon the bearing capacity of the structure can befurther reduced making the structure more resistantto earthquakes
