    Shaking table test on multi-floored grain warehouse under different storage material conditions

    • 摘要: 地震作用下贮料运动会影响散粮楼房仓结构的动力响应。为揭示不同贮料工况下楼房仓结构地震响应规律,该研究开展空仓(EEE)、满仓(FFF)、第三层为空仓(FFE)、第二层为空仓(FEF)、第一层为空仓(EFF)、第三层为满仓(EEF)、第二层为满仓(EFE)、第一层为满仓(FEE)8种贮料工况下的散粮楼房仓模型结构振动台试验,系统分析结构动力特性及地震响应规律。结果表明:贮料能够降低结构的加速度放大效应并起到耗能作用,该作用与地震波峰值加速度及贮料的堆放楼层高度正相关,0.5 g地震作用下EFF工况顶部加速度响应较空仓减少44.1%;贮料的加速度峰值较仓壁略小且其出现时刻滞后,贮料间及贮料与仓壁间的相互作用能够耗散部分地震能量;结构位移响应受贮料堆放高度与贮料空间分布不连续性共同影响,且后者较前者更易引发结构扭转效应,针对FFE、FEF、EFF等工况,在0.5 g地震作用下,FEF工况第二层(1.22 m)位移较EFF和FFE工况分别增加24.7%和4.0%;地震作用下仓壁侧压力峰值沿贮料埋深与加速度峰值的增加而逐渐增大,在大震时超压现象更为明显,0.5 g EFE工况下第二层底部测点侧压力为其静态值的1.46倍。研究结果可为散粮楼房仓结构动力分析和抗震设计提供参考和依据。

       

      Abstract: Grain storage is universally recognized as one of the post-harvest infrastructure elements for national food security and societal stability. Among them, the multiple-floored grain warehouses can directly dominate the long-term reliability of the grain reserve. Its safety and stability can also require storing the grain from natural hazards and operational risks. Thereby, it is very necessary to safeguard the national food supply chains during emergencies. Particularly, the conventional single-story structures cannot fully meet the large-scale production requirements in recent years. In this study, the multi-floored grain warehouse was developed under different storage conditions. An advanced form of centralized bulk grain storage was provided for the high-density urban environments. The high mechanization was combined with efficient material handling and a compact land footprint. Thus, the storage efficiency was maximized to alleviate the land scarcity driven by rapid urbanization. A critical influencing factor under seismic loading was then obtained as the interaction between stored grain and the supporting structure in the overall dynamic response. The mass, stiffness, and inherent damping of stored grain altered the structural vibration modes, thus potentially reducing the seismic demand from the complex load transfer mechanisms. A series of shaking table experiments was conducted on the representative multi-floored grain warehouse. A 1:25 geometric similarity model was constructed to verify the measurement. Eight typical conditions of grain storage were selected: empty warehouse (EEE), fully loaded warehouse (FFF), third-floor empty (FFE), second-floor empty (FEF), first-floor empty (EFF), third-floor full (EEF), second-floor full (EFE), and first-floor full (FEE). Each condition was tested under six peak ground acceleration (PGA) levels (0.1 g, 0.2 g, 0.3 g, 0.4 g, 0.5 g, and 0.6 g). Finally, a systematic examination was carried out on the structural dynamics and seismic response. The results demonstrate that the stored grain consistently reduced the structural acceleration amplification, where the magnitude of damping was positively correlated with both PGA and storage elevation. For instance, the EFF condition decreased the top-floor acceleration by 44.1%, compared with the EEE condition at the highest test intensity (0.5 g). As such, the stored grain served as an effective vibration-mitigation medium. The peak acceleration of the grain itself was slightly lower and then delayed relative to the silo wall, indicating an energy dissipation caused by grain–grain and grain–wall friction. The displacement response was found to be jointly influenced by storage height and vertical discontinuity in grain distribution, where the latter shared the greater tendency to induce the torsional vibrations. Notably, the FEF condition generated the second-floor displacements of 24.7% and 4.0% higher than those of the EFF and FFE, respectively, under 0.5 g two-floor loading. The uneven patterns of the vertical loading significantly amplified the structural drift in the intermediate floors. Furthermore, the lateral pressure increased with the burial depth and PGA, where the strong-motion cases exhibited the pronounced overpressure. The lateral pressure at point P5 reached 1.46 times its static value in the EFE condition at 0.5 g. The substantial dynamic amplification of silo wall loads was obtained during intense earthquakes. Grain distribution also dominated the seismic performance. The optimal vertical loading can be expected to serve as a passive control strategy for the seismic demand. These findings can provide a technical basis for the seismic design and optimization of the multi-floored grain warehouses, thus supporting their application in national grain reserves and emergency supply facilities.
