On the premise of satisfying the stipulations stated in the Article 5.1.13 of Technical Specification for
Concrete Structures of Tall Building, this paper chose the period of the structure’s first 6 vibration modes for
comparison and analysis. See detailed periods in Table 2.
Table 2. Periods of the Structure’s Each Vibration Mode (s)
Stage
Model
1 2 3 4 5 6
K1 0.893 7 0.788 4 0.755 6 0.388 7 0.263 3 0.252 7
K2 0.882 1 0.783 1 0.750 2 0.291 0 0.260 2 0.251 0

By changing the construction methods, two different structural models were selected. The vibration
directions of each vibration mode are as follows: horizontal translation at the first stage, vertical translation at
the second stage, and mainly torsional deformation at the third stage. The vibration modes of both model are
much alike(as shown in Figure 4) and conform to the stipulations of Technical Specification for Concrete
Structures of Tall Building that the vibration modes at the first two stages should be mainly translation. When
the prestress is the post-tensioning bonded and unbonded structures respectively, the torsion and translation
period ratios of both models are 0.845 and 0.861. Both results are less than 0.9, which satisfies the requirements
of Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of Tall Building. The less the ratio of the structure’s torsion
and translation periods is, the less the structure’s torsional effect will be, and the better the torsion resistant
behavior will be. In comparison, the period ratio of model k1 is better than that of model k2,which indicates
when the bonded prestressed concrete frame structure is applied, its torsion resistant behavior will be better that
the unbonded prestressed concrete frame structure.

4. Analysis of Structure’s Earthquake Resistant Behavior

According to the project introduction and the earthquake resistant code, the parameters of earthquake
influence curve, i.e. αmax, ζ, η1, η2, γ and Tg, were selected and their values were 0.08, 0.05, 0.02, 1.0, 0.9 and
0.35.
In view of the bi-directional earthquake effect, the variables that can reflect the structure’s overall lateral
deformation resistant behavior--floor displacement, inter-floor displacement and inter-floor displacement
angle--were analyzed, see results in Figure 5~10.
