How do China, the United States and Europe account for accidental eccentricity in seismic design?

图片
  Regulations and Methods for Considering Accidental Eccentricity Effects in Seismic Design in China, the United States and Europe 1. Regulatory Basis ● China The Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) stipulates that accidental eccentricity must account for uncertainties in structural mass distribution, stiffness distribution, and spatial variations in seismic motion. Torsional effects shall be calculated using either static or dynamic methods. ● United States ASCE 7-22 (American Society of Civil Engineers Standard) requires consideration of accidental torsional effects, typically calculated using static methods, with verification through dynamic analysis results. ● Europe Eurocode 8 (EN 1998-1:2004) simulates the misalignment between mass centres and stiffness centres by introducing accidental eccentricity, and mandates consideration of the effects of bidirectional seismic actions . 2. Definition and Values of Random Eccentricity ● China Eccentricity: ±5% of the ...

Chessboard-shaped quadrangular pyramid grid

Structural features: The spatial stiffness is smaller than that of the square pyramid grid, and the internal force of the lower chord increases. When the perimeter is arranged into a full cone, the stiffness is better. This grid has a short upper chord under compression and a long lower chord under tension, which can give full play to the role of the cross section of the rod and bear reasonable force.

 

Applicable conditions: Applicable to peripheral support grids with a rectangular plane shape, a side length ratio greater than 1.5, and small and medium spans.
