Abstract:Using a numerical simulation method, the vulnerability of a RC cooling tower located in Liaoning Anshan was evaluated. The FE software ABAQUS was adopted to establish its analysis model. According to field conditions of the place where the structure was located, a series of reasonable ground motion records were selected to consider the uncertainty of earthquake. Material strain and peak ground acceleration (PGA) were taken as the structure seismic demand parameter and earthquake intensity parameter, and then the structure’s damage state was divided into five levels. Unidirectional, horizontal-bidirectional and three-directional seismic actions were exerted on the structure, respectively. Based on the incremental dynamic analysis and the lognormal distribution hypothesis, the probabilistic seismic demand model of the structure was established by means of the regression analysis, the structure’s seismic vulnerability curves were obtained. Furthermore, the structure’s anti-collapse security reserve was assessed. The results showed that the damage probability of the cooling tower structure under horizontal-bidirectional seismic action is much larger than that under unidirectional seismic action; vertical seismic action has little effect on the vulnerability of the cooling tower; the structure meets the requirement of “no collapse under strong earthquake” according to its safety margin analysis.
