  1. Hybrid Simulation of Structural Collapse Andreas Schellenberg, Tony Yang, Stephen Mahin and Boza Stojadinovic Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Berkeley

  2. Motivation

  3. Outline of Presentation • Hybrid Simulation and OpenFresco middleware • Second-Order Effects and Structural Collapse • Implementation in OpenSees and OpenFresco • Structural Collapse of Portal-Frame • Summary and Conclusions

  4. Advantages: Loading (RHS) is defined analytically Dynamic testing of full-scale specimens withfewer restrictions on size, weight and strength Quasi-static testing equipment sufficient Geographically distributed for testingexceeding the capacity of one lab Incorporate geometric nonlinearities into analytical portion of hybrid model Hybrid Simulation • Dynamic Loading: • Seismic • Wind • Blast/Impact • Wave • Traffic • Static Loading: • Gravity • Prestress analytical model of structural energy dissipation and inertia physical model of structural resistance analytically add nonlinear geometric effects to measured resisting forces

  5. Hybrid Simulation • Model the well understood parts of a structure in a finite element program on one or more computers, including nonlinearity, multi-support excitation and soil-structure interaction • Leave the construction and testing of the highly nonlinear and/or numerically hard to model parts of the structure in one or more laboratories • Can be considered as a conventional finite element analysis where physical models of some portions of the structure are embedded in the numerical model

  8. Simulation of Structural Collapse • On shaking tables, simulation of collapse is dangerous and expensive • In hybrid simulations • Gravity loads and resulting geometric nonlinearities can be modeled analytically • Therefore, no complex active or passive gravity load setups are necessary • Actuator movements will limit displacements during collapse (safety) • Thus, there is no need to protect expensive test equipment from specimen impact • Only critical, collapse-sensitive elements of a structure need to be physically modeled

  9. Second-Order Effects • Definition: effect of loads on the deformed geometry (satisfy equilibrium in deformed configuration) • P-Δ: change of global geometry (structural level) • P-δ: change of member geometry (element level) • P-M, P-V interaction (section level) also local buckling

  10. Implementation in a Hybrid Model • Physical portion of the model: • Test material and cross-section level response • Analytical portion of the model: • Apply the gravity and/or prestress loads • Provide the geometric transformations such that the second-order effects due to axial loads are accounted for • Model the rest of the structure

  11. Geometric Transformations

  12. Structural Collapse of Portal Frame • Crd-Trans: P-Delta, Corotational • ExpElements: EEBeamColumn2d • ExpSetups: ESOneActuator • ExpControl: ECxPCtarget • SACNF01: pga = 0.906g • Properties of Model: • NDOF = 8(2 with mass) • Period: T1 = 0.49 sec • Damping: ζ1 = 0.05 • P = 50% of φPn

  13. OpenSees/OpenFresco Details OpenSees Finite Element Model OpenFresco Middleware xPC-Target real-time Predictor-Corrector MTS 493 real-time Controller Physical Specimen in μNEES Lab

  14. Hybrid Simulations Without Gravity Load With Gravity Load

  15. Response Comparison: Global Level

  16. Response Comparison: Actuator Level

  17. Conclusions • Benefits: • Second-order effects can be simulated without applying the axial force on the physical specimen • The specimens and test setups are less expensive • The physical setups are protected from falling structural components • Shortcomings: • Interaction of axial force and element resistance at the local level is not yet accounted for (local buckling, P-M interaction) • Rate effects are not accounted for
