Abstract

In recent years, earthquake disasters have seriously damaged nonstructural components, so it is necessary to study their seismic performance. However, the existing scholarly research mainly concentrates on multistorey and high-rise buildings, and there are still deficiencies in the analysis of the seismic performance of the nonstructural components in large-span structures under seismic action. In this paper, the acceleration responses of a single-layer spherical reticulated shell structure are compared with those described in the current seismic design codes of the nonstructural components, and it is found that the current codes are not fully applicable to the seismic design of the nonstructural components in reticulated shell structures. The calculation formulas of the acceleration response spectra of single-layer spherical shell nodes are theoretically derived, and the shell node acceleration response spectra are affected by higher-order modes, orthogonal horizontal seismic input directions, and the membrane stiffness of the shell nodes. The variations in the acceleration responses of the shell nodes with node position and rise-to-span ratio are analysed, and a design method for the equivalent seismic action of the nonstructural components in a single-layer spherical reticulated shell with a roofing system is proposed.
