Drift design methods using resizing techniques have been presented as a practical drift control methods of high-rise buildings. Most drift design methods using the resizing techniques have adopted the cross-sectional area as the design variables for all structural members in a structure. However, the cross-sectional area is not always governing sectional property for the structural members, but the governing sectional property of each member is dependent on the characteristics of member forces. In this paper, a drift design method using the sectional property related to the governing displacement participation factor as the design variable of each member is presented and applied to the drift design of 20-story steel frame-shear wall system. It can be noted from example test that drift design method considering member characteristics shows similar or somewhat better results in the view point of structural weights and the accuracy of displacement estimation.

현재까지의 철근콘크리트(R/C)부재의 이력거동을 예측하기 위한 이론적 연구는 대부분이 휨 변위량이 전체 변위량을 지배한다는 가정하에 휨 해석을 행하고 있다. 그러나 지진과 같은 탄성한계를 벗어난 강한 동적반복하중을 받는 경우 철근 콘크리트 부재의 변위량은 휨 변위량 뿐만 아니라 전단 변위량 및 부재연결부에서의 회전 변위량에 의해 지배됨이 많은 연구를 통해 밝혀졌다. 전단이력거동은 강성과 강도저하가 심하게 나타나고 낮은 에너지 발산능력을 갖는 특징에 의해 휨 이력거동과는 구별되며 반복하중이 계속되면 강성이 저하되는 경향때문에 전단변형이 R/C부재의 거동을 지배하게 된다. 이러한 부재거동의 특징에 견주어 볼 때 현재 사용되고 있는 해석모델을 이용하여 동적응답을 예측하고, 해석하여 설계된 기존의 R/C부재는 강한 동적하중을 받을 경우 해석적으로는 전혀 예측치 못하게 되는 결과를 초래하게 된다.

Drift design methods using resizing algorithms have been presented as a practical drift design method since the resizing algorithms proposed easily find drift contribution of each member, called member displacement participation factor, to lateral drift to be designed without calculation of sensitivity coefficient or re-analysis. Weight of material to be redistributed for minimization of the lateral drift is determined according to the member displacement participation factors. However, resizing algorithms based on energy theorem must consider loading conditions because they have different displacement contribution according to different loading conditions. Furthermore, to improve practicality of resizing algorithms, structural member grouping is required in application of resizing algorithms to drift control of high-rise buildings. In this study, three resizing algorithms on considering load condition and structural member grouping are developed and applied to drift design of a 20-story steel-frame shear-wall structure and a 50-story frame shear-wall system with outriggers.

The paper presents a direct method for the diplacement control and stiffness redesign using displacement and response force contribution factors. At first, these two kinds of factors are derived and the relationship between them is examined. An equation to evaluate the change of displacement according to the change of each member stiffness is proposed. For the statically determinate structures, the proposed equation gives the exact solution with no approximation. But it has some error in case of statically indeterminate structures because the redistribution of response forces is neglected in the equation. However, the equation may be very useful even for statically indeterminate structures because it provides the relationship between the member stiffness and the global displacement. The proposed method is expected to be useful for the displacement control of large space or hi-rise building structures where the stiffness design governs the design result.

The extended tangent stiffness matrices and force-deformation relations of the elastic catenary element were initially derived through the addition of the unstrained length of cables to unknown nodal displacements. A beam-column element was then introduced to model the deck and pylon of cable-stayed bridges. The conventional geometric nonlinear analysis, initial force method, and TCUD method were summarized, with an effective method combining two methods presented to determine the initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges with dead loads. In this combined method, TCUD method was applied to eliminate vertical and horizontal displacements at cable-supported points of decks and on top of pylons, respectively. The initial force method was also adopted to eliminate horizontal and vertical displacements of decks and pylons, Finally, the accuracy and validity of the proposed combined method were demonstrated through numerical examples.

In concrete structural design provisons, there is a minimum allowable strain of steel to ensure a ductility of RC members and a c/d is limited for the same purpose in EC2. In general, a ductility capacity of RC members is evaluated by a displacement ductility which is a ratio of ultimate displacement to yield displacement, and it is necessary to calculate accurately a yield displacement and an ultimate displacement to evaluate a displacement ductility. But a displacement in members is affected by various member characteristics, so it is hard to calculate a displacement exactly. In this study, a displacement ductility is calculated by calculating a yield displacement and an ultimate displacement through a moment-curvature relationship. The main variables examined are concrete strength, yield strength, steel ratio, spacing of confinement, axial force ratio and concrete ultimate strain. As results, as a concrete strength is increased, a ductility displacement is increased. But as yield strength, steel ratio, spacing of confinement and axial force ratio are increased, a displacement ductility is decreased. And a displacement ductility is necessary to calculate a response modification factor (R) of columns for seismic design, so it is appeared that it is important to calculate a displacement ductility more accurately.

In this paper, an analysis method that considers the initial static displacement of structural members using an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system is presented. Newmark's dynamic analysis algorithm was improved to consider the effect of the initial static displacements of structural members. The effect of the initial static displacement on the maximum response according to the assumed duration of the blast load and natural period of the member was investigated. The effects of positive and negative static displacements on the maximum dynamic responses of structural members subjected to a positively applied blast load were also studied. Modified response charts for the shock-type and pressure-type waves are presented so that static displacements can easily be considered. Using a design example, we demonstrate the significance of the modified response chart that considers the static displacement. Based on the results of this study, the maximum response of a the structural member can be easily obtained whilst considering its initial static displacement. The modified response chart presented in this study can be used for the structural design of plants and military facilities.

This paper alined at the development of a lateral drift control method that is able to quantitatively control the lateral drift of global node. For this, we applied an efficient partial reanalysis algorithm. By using this algorithm, we could recalculate the displacement and member force of the specific node without reanalyzing the entire structure when member stiffness changes partially. The theoretical concepts of the algorithm are so simple that it is not necessary to solve the complicate differential equation or to repeat the analysis of entire structure. The proposed method calculates the drift contribution of each member for the global displacement according to the variation of section sizes by using the algorithm. Then by changing the member sizes as the order of drift contribution, we could control the lateral drift of global node with a minimum quantity of materials. 20 story braced frame structure system is presented to illustrate the usefulness of proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method is very effective in lateral drift control and the results obtained by proposed method are consistent with those of commercial analysis program.

In recent years, to overcome drawbacks related to the aplicati on of classical structural optimization algorithms, various drift design methods based on factores of member displacement participation factors have been developed to size members if they satisfy stiffness criteria. In particular, a resizing algorithm based on dynamic displacement participation factors from the response spectrum analysis has been applied in the drift design of steel structures subjec ted to seismic lateral forces. In this aproach, active members are selected for displacement control based on the displacement participation fa ve members may be taken out and added to the active members for the drift control. The resizing algorithm can be practically and effectively applied to drift design of high-rise buildings however, the inelastic behavior o f the resizing algorithm has not ben evaluated yet. To develop the resizing algorithm considering the performance of nonlinearity as well a s elastic stifness, the evaluation model of resizing algorithm s is developed and aplied to the examples of moment-resisting steel frame, which is one of the simplest structural systems. The inelastic behavior of moment-resisting steel frame designed by the resizing algorithm is also discussed.
