Abstract:

In order to evaluate the seismic reliability of steel staggered truss framing (SSTF) structural systems, the limit state function for the bearing capacity of the SSTF structure was established by taking the ultimate base shear force of the total horizontal seismic action at the bottom of the structure as the limit state. An ordinary steel frame structure model and six SSTF structure models with different truss arrangements were established under the same amount of steel usage. Higher order moment method was adopted to calculate the failure probability of established structure models under different seismic intensities, and then the failure probability curves were depicted. The results show that the SSTF structure starts to exhibit the failure risks of slight, moderate, severe, and complete damage when the seismic intensities is 6, 7, 8 and 9 degrees, respectively. The use of vertical webs alone in trusses is not sufficient to improve the seismic performance of the structure, while the addition of diagonal webs can significantly reduce the failure probability. The seismic performance of the rigid joint between the vertical web and the chord is better than that of the hinged joint, and the failure probability of the rigid form is reduced by at least 10% compared with the hinged form.
