In order to study the influence of pipeline-equipment coupling effect on the seismic response of vertical mixed frame structure of petrochemical equipment, a scale specimen of shaking table test of vertical mixed frame structure of petrochemical equipment was designed with geometric similarity ratio of 1:10. The finite element software ABAQUS is used to establish three kinds of working conditions, including not considering equipment coupling effect, considering equipment coupling effect and considering pipeline-equipment coupling effect, with a total of four specimen models. Through time-history analysis, the influence of pipeline-equipment coupling effect on the dynamic characteristics, failure forms and damage of vertical hybrid frame structures under frequent and rare earthquakes is compared and analyzed. The results show that ABAQUS model is consistent with the first three modes of PKPM calculation structure, and the period error is less than 2%. ABAQUS calculation results can well reflect the dynamic response characteristics of the structure. Considering the coupling effect of equipment (pipeline-equipment), the basic natural vibration period of the structure increases significantly, and the inter-story displacement angle increases by 1.48 times to 2.79 times. Under frequent earthquakes, the inter-story displacement angle of the bottom story exceeds the requirements of the code, and the horizontal acceleration amplification coefficient of each floor shows an increasing trend. The acceleration amplification coefficient of the main equipment is stronger than that of the floor where it is located, and the damage of the lower floor of the structure is obviously aggravated, which makes it impossible to keep the main structure in a "small earthquake elasticity" state. After considering the coupling effect of multi-support cross-layer pipeline, the structural dynamic response is more significant than only considering the equipment specimen because the deformation of multi-support cross-layer pipeline is inconsistent with the floor. Considering the influence of pipeline coupling effect between equipment, the dynamic response of the structure is slightly reduced. Combined with the above conclusions, we can refer to ASCE code in structural design at this stage. When the equipment mass accounts for more than 25% of the total system mass, the coupling effect should be considered, and it is suggested to increase the elastic-plastic time history analysis of the equipment model.
