The Operation Platform Connection Styles’ Influences on the Seismic Behavior of Thermal Power Plant Frame-Bent Structure

Two different models are set up to analyze how the connection styles influence on the seismic behavior of frame-bent structure. In the earthquake input of both directions, mode superposition response spectrum method is used to calculate the parameters of frame-bent structure such as the story shear, seismic action deformation and so on. Analyzing the difference of the parameters of both models, explaining the reasons and drawing some rules are all done in this essay.
