[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment is for easily predicting the torsional response (rotation angle θ of the building) of a building caused by foundation input motion of the building on irregular ground.
[0011] <Outline of torsional response prediction> Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a target model to which the torsional response prediction method according to this embodiment is applied. In the target model shown in Fig. 1, the support layer of a building 30 resting on a foundation 3 is located on ground with an uneven portion 20. That is, the building 30 is located across a geological structure 1 (first geological structure) in which the base 10 is located deep, and a geological structure 2 (second geological structure) in which the base 10 is located shallow. Within the foundation 3, an area 3b separated by a boundary 3c is located on the geological structure 1, and an area 3a is located on the geological structure 2.
[0012] Conventionally, when determining the torsional response (rotation angle θ) of a building on irregular ground due to input motion to its foundation, the target model shown in FIG. 1 is created, and an earthquake response analysis is performed on the entire target model to determine the displacement responses y1 and y2 of nodes 31 and 32 at the ends of the foundation, which are taken as the foundation length L of building 30, and the rotation angle θ is determined as (y1 - y2) / L. However, in this embodiment, earthquake response analysis is not performed on the entire target model, but is instead performed simply by using a one-dimensional earthquake response analysis of the stratum structures 1 and 2.
[0013] 2 is a flowchart showing the torsional response analysis procedure according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, first, the shear wave velocities Vs1 and Vs2 (m / s) of the geological structures 1 and 2 and the wet densities γ1 and γ2 (t / m 3 ) from the impedance ratio α of the geological structure 1 and 2 γ =(γ1×Vs1) / (γ2×Vs2) is calculated (step S101).
[0014] Furthermore, the area ratio β from the base cross-sectional area A1 on the stratum 1 and the base cross-sectional area A2 on the stratum 2 = 2A1 / (A1+A2) is calculated (step S102).
[0015] Thereafter, a response analysis of the one-dimensional earth column model is performed for each of the layer structures 1 and 2, the maximum ground displacements D1 and D2 of each of the layer structures 1 and 2 are calculated, and the ground displacement difference ΔD (=D1-D2) is determined (step S103).
[0016] Then, using the foundation length L (m) of the building and the preset coefficients p and q, the rotation angle θmax of the building due to the foundation input motion is calculated using the following equation (1) (step S104), and this process is terminated. θmax==p×(ΔD·L) q α γ / β (1)
[0017] <Example of torsional response prediction> Next, an example of calculating the rotation angle θmax of a building due to foundation input motion for various models using this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of multiple models for a building on mixed foundations, with pile foundations for stratum structure 1 and spread foundations for stratum structure 2, on ground with uneven supporting layers. As shown in FIG. 3, three patterns of models M1 to M3 with different ratios of pile foundation area to spread foundation area were used, and the shear wave velocity Vs1 of the surface layer of stratum structure 1 was changed to 80, 100, 133, 200, and 267 (m / s). When Vs1 of stratum structure 1 was changed to 80, 100, 133, 200, and 267 (m / s), the ground period of stratum structure 1 was 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.3 s, respectively.
[0018] Therefore, in this response analysis, the input earthquake motion was set to a sine wave, and the periods of the sine wave when the shear wave velocity Vs1 was 80, 100, 133, 200, and 267 (m / s) were set to 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.3 s, and the amplitude level was set so that the maximum value of the pseudo-velocity response spectrum for each waveform was 16 cm / s.
[0019] When a response analysis was performed on a one-dimensional soil column model of layer structures 1 and 2 when one sine wave was input, the ground displacement difference ΔD (m) when the shear wave velocity Vs1 was 80, 100, 133, 200, and 267 (m / s) was 0.027, 0.0187, 0.0096, 0.0031, and 0.001 m, respectively.
[0020] Figure 4 shows a comparison of the rotation angle θmax predicted by equation (1) and the rotation angle θmax calculated by conventional response analysis. The coefficient p in equation (1) is 4.86 × 10 -4, and the coefficient q is set to 0.97. As shown in Fig. 4, in the case of model M3, although the rotation angle θmax is large, it can be seen that the prediction results using equation (1) and the conventional response analysis results correspond closely to each other.
[0021] <Outline of the torsional response prediction device> FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of torsional response prediction device 40 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, torsional response prediction device 40 includes input unit 41, display unit 42, storage unit 43, and control unit 44. Input unit 41 is an input interface for inputting various types of information. Display unit 42 is a display output interface for displaying and outputting various types of information. Storage unit 43 is a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory that stores at least analysis target information DA, which is a model of the analysis target and parameter values. Control unit 44 is a control unit that controls the entire torsional response prediction device 40 and includes analysis unit 45. Control unit 44 stores programs corresponding to analysis unit 45 in a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory, and loads these programs into memory and executes them on a CPU to execute the corresponding processes.
[0022] The analysis unit 45 calculates the rotation angle θmax of the building caused by the foundation input motion using the equation (1) for the target model, and outputs and displays the result on the display unit .
[0023] In this embodiment, the torsional response caused by foundation input motion of a building located on irregular ground can be easily predicted using only the conditions of the ground and foundation and the results of one-dimensional response analysis of the ground, without creating a detailed analytical model.

In other words, the distribution and integration of each device and component is not limited to that illustrated, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit depending on various usage situations, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
