Abstract

Most of the seismic codes suggest that the near-fault vertical ground motion component must be considered for certain special cases. There are no specific recommendations made for modelling the asymmetric structure with soil-structure interaction. This research studies low-rise asymmetric steel frame structures with soil-structure interaction using far-field infinite soil elements under horizontal earthquake alone (H case) and simultaneous horizontal and vertical earthquake (H + V case). Initially, soil structure is quantified using four near-fault without pulse ground accelerations on a symmetric single-storey and G + 2 storey steel frame. The nonlinear dynamic implicit analysis examines structural parameters and earthquake data to determine structure behaviour. Critical earthquake-related parameters include the ratio of peak ground vertical to horizontal acceleration (V/H), peak ground horizontal acceleration (PGHA), peak ground vertical acceleration (PGVA), and critical structure-related parameters include horizontal acceleration at the top node, horizontal displacement at the top node, and axial force in the bottom column. A parametric analysis of 40% and 60% plan asymmetric single and G + 2 storey steel frames with SSI was also performed. According to the parametric analysis, the H + V case has a greater influence on single-storey and G + 2 storey frame structures as plan irregularity increases. Hence, plan asymmetric low-rise steel frame with SSI should be designed for vertical ground motions with V/H ratios greater than one.
