Abstract:
To study the dynamic characteristics and seismic damage of the Bayun Pagoda,the dynamic characteristics are determined via an in-situ dynamic test, and the flexibility curvature method is used to identify the damage. Moreover, the numerical calculation results of the dynamic characteristics are compared with the test results. The mechanical parameters of the materials are determined in the consistency of the dynamic characteristics, and a plastic damage model is also introduced. From the vertical compressive stress the initial damage is defined, and the seismic damage is analyzed by inputting El-Centro, Taft, and Lanzhou artificial wave. As results, the first-order natural frequencies are close to each other in the horizontal East-West and North-South directions, and the initial damage rates of the 6th, 8th, 10th floors are higher. The distributions of the principal tensile stress excited by different seismic are similarbut the distributions of seismic damage are slightly different; the area with serious seismic damage is in the middle and bottom floors, and the damage accumulation of the first floor is more obvious than those of the other floors. Moreover, the outer edge of each floor, the pagoda eaves, and the periphery of the archway are found to be easily damaged.
