Abstract In this paper, the possible application of the hybrid sliding rocking column as a supporting system of an elevated reservoir is investigated. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed system, a comparative analysis is conducted on an elevated reservoir with other common supporting systems. To this purpose, a benchmark tank model with a normal circular column is considered and modelled in the OpenSees platform. Then, other supporting systems are replaced with the exciting normal column in order to investigate the structural responses. Non-linear time history analyses with eight far-field and near-fault earthquake ground motions are performed on the considered models. The results show that hybrid sliding rocking columns are more effective than other solutions in reducing the structural base shear, as well as its damage potential towards both far-field and near-fault earthquake records.

混合滑动摇柱作为高架水库支撑系统的效率研究

摘要 本文研究了混合滑动摇摆柱作为高架水库支护系统的可能应用。为了评估所提出系统的效率，对高架水库与其他常见支撑系统进行了比较分析。为此，在 OpenSees 平台中考虑并建模了具有正常圆柱的基准坦克模型。然后，将其他支撑系统替换为令人兴奋的法线柱，以研究结构响应。对所考虑的模型进行了具有八个远场和近断层地震地面运动的非线性时程分析。结果表明，混合滑动摇柱在降低结构基础剪力方面比其他解决方案更有效，
