The finite element model for dynamic analysis of building stru ctures

In order to take the dynamic interaction of structure and foundation into full account and overcome the drawback of classical fixed boundary models which trap all earthquake energy into the computation models, a finite element model with transmitting boundaries has been proposed for the earthquake response analysis of building structures. In the model, components of upper frame structures, such as beams and columns, are discretized with plane-stress 4-node quadrilateral parametric elements, and foundations with plane-strain 4-node quadrilateral parametric elements. The lateral boundary nodes of the foundation finite element mesh are tied together and the bottom of the mesh is imposed with viscous dampers so that the dynamic interaction between structures and foundations can be fully taken into consideration. Numerical examples presented in the paper have shown that the finite element model correctly represents the earthquake responses of the structures considered. The model can be further extended for the computer simulation of both geometric and material nonlinear earthquake responses of building structure.
