Usually the structures should be analyzed under three or more seismic waves.

In this paper, only the


results of the artificial wave are presented and the wave is shown in Fig.1(b).

For the constitutive model presented in Chinese ‘Code for design of concrete structures’, in which
the tension skeleton curve of concrete is as follows:
σ = (1-dt ) Ecε (5)
1 − ρ t [1.2 − 0.2 x 5 ] x ≤1

dt =  ρt (6)
1 − α ( x − 1)1.7 + x x >1
 t

And the compression skeleton curve of concrete is:


σ = (1- dc ) E cε (7)
 ρc n
 1 − n − 1 + x n x ≤1
dc =  (8)
1 − ρc
x > 1
 α c ( x − 1) 2 + x
The periods of elastic analysis and the relative mode participation coefficients are listed in Tab.1.

The α is equal to 0.26 formulated by Eq.(3), by substituting the periods and mode participation
coefficients into Eq.(4), and then:
α = 0.48 X direction
α = 0.47 Y direction
Using the final mass proportional damping α = 0.47 for dynamic analysis. An elastic model was
analyzed firstly and the acceleration of seismic wave was set to zero after the peak value, then the
