Abstract:The anti-seismic performance is an important index in building design; therefore, analyzing the elastoplastic damage of a building structure under earthquake is necessary. In this paper, an elastic-plastic damage model of building structures under moderate and strong earthquakes is proposed. The basic principle of the elastic-plastic damage model is analyzed from the aspects of the effective stress, the Cauchy stress tensor, and the damage evolution equation of building materials. Based on this, the relationship between the strain rate of the building material and the damage energy release rate of the structure is analyzed. The damage index of failure of a building material is obtained through the Bonara damage model, and the damage index of the building structural component is calculated. On this basis, the dynamic-plastic damage model of the building structure under moderate and strong earthquakes is constructed. When the seismic acceleration value is 0.3g, the relative displacement time history curve of the building structure is fitted with the actual displacement curve, and the dynamic elastic-plastic damage simulation accuracy of the building structure is good. The results show that the model is feasible to a certain extent.
