Abstract

Abstract: The improved modified ensemble empirical mode decomposition (MEEMD) method is used to decompose the long-period ground motion, and the introduction of permutation entropy is used to eliminate the abnormal signal, which can avoid the phenomenon of mode aliasing in the traditional empirical mode decomposition method, so that the components of the long-period ground motion can be accurately separated. Taking the separated and reconstructed ground motions as input action, the influence of long-period components on the seismic response of diagrid structure of high-rise building is studied. The results demonstrate that the MEEMD method can accurately extract long-period ground motion components from long-period ground motion. Long-period ground motion contains abundant short-term energy with low-frequency, which is the main reason for the large seismic response of long-period structure. The seismic response of diagrid structure is closely related to the natural period of the structure and the spectrum characteristics of the ground motion. Highlights: It is more accurate to use velocity and displacement time-history parameters to evaluate ground motion intensity measure. MEEMD method effectively avoid interference of white noise when separating long-period ground motion components. Long-period ground motion contains abundant short-term energy with low-frequency, disadvantageous long-period structure. Long-period ground motion is unfavorable to structure whose natural period is more than 2.0 s.
