This study addresses the modeling of different energy dissipation mechanisms for numerical prediction of the vertical acceleration demand in regular moment-resisting steel frame structures. The consideration of viscous damping in the structural model is discussed, as well as the effect of inelastic material behavior on the vertical acceleration demand. The study provides insights into appropriate damping modeling strategies and concludes that common frame models can be used for the computation of both horizontal and vertical acceleration demand.
This study addresses the modeling of different energy dissipation mechanisms for numerical prediction of the vertical acceleration demand in regular moment-resisting steel frame structures. One of the issues discussed is the consideration of viscous damping in the structural model. It is shown that well-established Rayleigh-damping may highly overestimate the damping of the vertical modes, resulting in much too low vertical acceleration response predictions. A study with different damping models provides an appropriate damping modeling strategy that leads to reasonable predictions of both horizontal and vertical frame acceleration demands. Another open question is the effect of inelastic material behavior on the vertical acceleration demand on the considered regular structures. The results of a shell model of a frame structure exposed to high intensity ground motion excitation demonstrate that inelastic material behavior has virtually no impact on the vertical acceleration demand, while structural inelasticity leaves the horizontal acceleration response significantly smaller compared to the elastic demand. This leads to the conclusion that common frame models that capture the inelastic horizontal response but behave elastic in the vertical direction are suitable for the computation of both the horizontal and vertical acceleration demand.
