Abstract

To analyze the effect of structural parameters on the damage potential ranking of ground motions, the effect of the yield strength coefficient (Cy) and natural vibration period (T) on the damage potential ranking of ground motions is analyzed based on the bilinear model and the modified Clough model, which are the most commonly used hysteretic models in structural dynamic analysis. The displacement response (Sd) spectrum under nonlinear conditions is taken as the damage potential intensity measure (IM) of ground motions, and the effect of the Cy and T on the Sd mean spectrum is also analyzed for comparative analysis. The results show that: (1) in the short-period range, Cy has a great effect on the displacement response ranking. On the other hand, in the medium- and long-period ranges, Cy has little effect on the Sd ranking; (2) with the change of T in medium- and long-period ranges, the variation of Sd values is obvious when the change of T is small, but the variation of Sd ranking is very small. This conclusion can provide a theoretical basis for evaluating the damage potential of ground motions and selecting input ground motions.
