摘要

The seismic design forces of nonstructural components (NSCs) in buildings are closely related to floor acceleration response amplification. To investigate the differences in acceleration responses of structures with different structural types, fundamental periods, and seismic design levels, 56 reinforced concrete and steel structures with fundamental periods ranging from 0.37 s to 5.68 s were selected. For each structure, 100 sets of earthquake motions were used as inputs for elastic time history analysis. Based on the resulting 26,500 sets of floor acceleration response data, the amplification rules of peak floor acceleration/peak ground acceleration (PFA/PGA) along the height of various structures and the corresponding floor response spectrum characteristics were studied. The nonlinear changes of PFA/PGA along the height of long period structures were compared with the codes of different countries. Moreover, more suitable prediction equations were proposed based on the structural characteristics. Finally, to solve the issue that existing research still cannot accurately reflect the acceleration amplification coefficient of NSCs with different dynamic characteristics in main structures with different periods, a normalized floor response spectrum is proposed that can simultaneously consider the effects of input ground motion characteristics and the main structure, which can be better used in the seismic design of NSCs.
