Recently, high-rise base isolated building structures with shear keys are often constructed in Japan which frequently occurs earthquakes. High-rise buildings are less damaged because those buildings have longer natural period than md or low rise buildings. The shear key is device that prevents the base isolators operating by the wind loads not by the earthquake loads. In case of big base shear force acts on the shear keys by earthquake, this device is broken and base isolator is operated. Therefore, seismic intensities play a role in acting on the shear keys. If wind loads are hither than the earthquake loads, the shear keys designed by wind loads are not operated in earthquakes. So, the requirements of shear keys in high-rise base isolated building structures must be examined in Korea with moderate seismic legions. In this study shear keys are applied with 5 and 15 stories base isolated building structures and investigated their dynamic responses to original and 1/2 scale downed El Centre NS(1940) ground motions. The results show that the yield shear forces of the shear keys affect significantly the dynamic behavior of base isolated building structures

지진에 대한 건축물의 확률적 성능평가에 대해서는 지진하중에 대한 건축물의 손상확률 또는 파괴확률을 나타내는 지진취약도 함수를 작성하여 대상 건축물에 대한 지진위험도를 평가하는 방법을 이용하고 있으며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중과 구조물 재료특성의 불확실성을 고려하고 대상 건축물의 지진취약도 해석을 통하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 건축물의 지진거동 및 내진성능을 평가하였다. 비내력벽을 보편화된 모형화 방법인 등가의 대각 압축 스트럿으로 고려하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 저층 철근콘크리트 건축물을 모형화하였으며 지진하중의 강도는 유효최대지반가속도를 이용하여 각 건축물에 대하여 지진취약도를 작성하였다. 취약도해석 결과로 연약층을 가지고 있는 건축물의 경우는 손상확률이 골조만 있는 경우보다 크며 동일한 해석모델의 경우에도 해석방법에 따라서 취약도 곡선의 형태가 다름을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the inelastic behavior of an asymmetric tall building is investigated. The asymmetry in rigidity caused by the structural asymmetry induces torsional as well as lateral deformation. The inelastic analysis of such an asymmetric structure is difficult to carry out with a planar model and thus requires a full three dimensional model. In this paper a 102 story unsymmetric tall building is analized by static push-over procedure and its behavior is investigated. The analysis are performed with and without floor rotation to compare the results. According to the results the static behavior of the model building, as expected, turned out to be dependent heavily an the asymmetry of the plan shapes of the building.

In this paper, the previous damage models for structures and their components under seismic repeated loading were reviewed systematically. A failure criterion for steel members under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was described. A new approach to seismic damage assessment for steel members was proposed. This method was based on a series of the experimental and numerical investigations for steel members under very low cyclic loading. In this study, very low cyclic loading means repetitive loading, 5 to 20 loading cycles, within the large plastic range. The proposed damage assessment method was focused on the local strain history at the cross-section of the most severe concentration of deformation.

A numerical analysis of cable-stayed bridge is conducted to determine optimum longitudinal modulus of elasticity which represents the boundary condition between the tower and main girder. The effect of longitudinal modulus of elasticity is investigated for different loading condition (live load, wind load, seismic load), respectively. There are significant changes in the member forces as variations of longitudinal modulus of elasticity, such as, $k_h$=e=100tonf/m/bearing (live load), $k_h$=e=1000tonf/m/bearing (seismic load), However, the wind loads do not affect member forces. The optimum longitudinal modulus of elasticity is determined from considering minimum member forces in the numerical analysis results.

The necessity of a high-rise building in big cities gave a new problem to structural engineers. The shortening effect of vertical members needs special considerstion in the desigh and construction of high-rise buildings. The shortening of each column transfers load to nonstructural members such as partitions, cladding, and M/E systems which are not designed to carry gravity loads. Also, the slabs and beams will tilt due to the cumulative differential shortening of adjacent vertical members. The main purpose of estimating the total shortening of vertical structural members is to compensate the differential shortening between adjacent members. This paper presents the structural effect of differential shortening between in main structural members. Lateral earthquake load is applied to the 52 story concrete structure which has an initial vertical displacement due to the gravity load. Shortening amount for each vertical member was estimated using the computerized column shortening software. Comparison of stresses between the shortening corrected structure and the uncorrecated structure due to earthquake load was discussed.

In this study 24 power transmission towers were selected by considering various variables such as power transmission capacity, height and structural type to evaluate their seismic performance using the standard design response spectrum recently announced by the government. In addition, the stresses and sectional forces generated by the current design wind loads and revised seismic ones were compared to review the effects on the design of power transmission towers when the government-required seismic standards were raised. The results of seismic performance evaluation for the target power transmission towers showed that they had seismic capacity of 0.31~0.91g, and that they met the level of the earthquake-resistant special grade, which is the 2,400-year earthquake return periods and secured seismic safety. Further, the sectional forces caused by earthquakes in the towers were 33~82.5% of the ones due to wind loads, and it was also confirmed that the design wind loads were more dominant than design earthquake ones under the elevated seismic standards.

This paper summarizes a study on the application of the friction pendulum system in bridge seismic isolation. Shaking table tests have been carried out on a model structure isolated with F.P.S and the obtained structural responses are compared to those of non-isolated. It can be concluded the F.P.S increases the earthquake resistance capacity of the isolated structure. It is also found that the stiffness of bearing, being controlled by the radius of curvature of the spherical sliding interface, is unaffected by the amplitude of the input excitation. Furthermore, the coefficient of sliding friction is velocity dependent so that in weak excitation the sliding velocity is low and, accordingly, the mobilized friction force is less than the one mobilized in strong excitation. Also, the frictional properties of the bearings remain markedly stable after extensive testing, and the permanent displacements are small and not cumulative in successive earthquakes.

In this paper, the seismic analysis model for seismically isolated KALIMER reactor structures is developed and the modal analysis and the seismic time history analysis are carried out for seismic isolation and non-isolation cases. To check the seismic stress limit according to the ASME Code, the equivalent seismic stress analyses are preformed using the 3-D finite element model. From the seismic stress analysis, the seismic margins are calculated for structural members. The limit of seismic load is defined to show that the maximum input acceleration ensures the structural safety for seismic load. In comparison of seismic responses between seismic isolation and non-isolation cases, the seismic isolation design gives significantly reduced acceleration responses and relative displacements between structures. The seismic margin of KALIMER reactor structure is high enough to produce the limit seismic load 0.8g.
