This paper addresses a fundamental research subject to complement and improve current domestic design specifications for the strong motion duration criterion and the envelop function of artificial accelerograms that can be applied to the earthquake-proof design of nuclear structures. The criteria for design response spectra and strong motion duration suggested by WRC RG 1.60 and ASCE Standard 4-98 are commonly being used in the profession, and they are first compared with each other and reviewed. By applying 152 real strong earthquake records that are over magnitude of 5 in the rock sites to the strong motion duration criterion in ASCE 4-98, an empirical regression model that predicts the strong motion duration as a function of earthquake magnitude is then developed. Using synthetically generated earthquake time histories for the five cases whose strong motion durations vary from 6 to 15 seconds, a seismic analysis is conducted to identify effects of the strong motion durations on the seismic responses of nuclear structures.

The paper reviews and discusses the substantive changes to the ASCE 49-21 Standard, Wind Tunnel Testing for Buildings and Other Structures. The most significant changes are the requirements for wind field simulations that utilize (i) partial turbulence simulations, (ii) partial model simulations for the flow around building Appurtenances, along with requirements for determining wind loads on products that are used at multiple sites in various configurations. These modifications tend to have the effect of easing the precise scaling requirements for flow simulations because it is not generally possible to construct accurate models for small elements placed, for example, on large buildings at the scales typically available in boundary layer wind tunnels. Additional discussion is provided on changes to the Standard with respect to measurement accuracy and data acquisition parameters, such as duration of tests, which are also related to scaling requirements. Finally, research needs with respect to aerodynamic mechanisms are proposed, with the goal of improving the understanding of the role of turbulence on separated-reattaching flows on building surfaces in order to continue to improve the wind tunnel method for determining design wind loads.

Linear and nonlinear time history analyses have been becoming more common in seismic analysis and design of structures with advances in computer technology and earthquake engineering. One of the most important issues for such analyses is the selection of appropriate acceleration time histories and matching these histories to a code design acceleration spectrum. In literature, there are three sources of acceleration time histories: artificial records, synthetic records obtained from seismological models and accelerograms recorded in real earthquakes. Because of the increase of the number of strong ground motion database, using and scaling real earthquake records for seismic analysis has been becoming one of the most popular research issues in earthquake engineering. In general, two methods are used for scaling actual earthquake records: scaling in time domain and frequency domain. The objective of this study is twofold: the first is to discuss and summarize basic methodologies and criteria for selecting and scaling ground motion time histories. The second is to analyze scaling results of time domain method according to ASCE 7-05 and Eurocode 8 (1998-1:2004) criteria. Differences between time domain method and frequency domain method are mentioned briefly. The time domain scaling procedure is utilized to scale the available real records obtained from near fault motions and far fault motions to match the proposed elastic design acceleration spectrum given in the Eurocode 8. Why the time domain method is preferred in this study is stated. The best fitted ground motion time histories are selected and these histories are analyzed according to Eurocode 8 (1998-1:2004) and ASCE 7-05 criteria. Also, characteristics of both near fault ground motions and far fault ground motions are presented by the help of figures. Hence, we can compare the effects of near fault ground motions on structures with far fault ground motions' effects.

풍하중 및 지진하중등 횡하중이 작용하는 무량판 슬래브는 전단파괴와 같은 취성파괴를 지연시키기 위해서 충분한 전단강도와 연성능력을 보유하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 반복 횡하중을 받는 무량판 슬래브의 전단강도와 변형성능을 고찰하기 위하여, 무보강 및 전단 보강된 총 4개의 내부기둥-슬래브 접합부를 실험하였다. 실험결과, 전단보강 슬래브의 이방향 전단강도는 무보강 슬래브보다 최대 1.5배까지 증가시켜 적용하는 콘크리트구조설계기준(KCI)과 ACI 318-02 기준은 중력하중만이 작용하는 경우에는 적절하나 조합하중 특히 횡하중의 영향이 클 경우에는 매우 불안전측 이었다. 한편, 변형성능 측면에서 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 1.5% 횡변위 성능을 확보하기 위하여 이방향 전단강도에 대한 중력하중비를 40%이하로 제한한 ACI-ASCE 352 위원회의 권고는 안전측인 것으로 나타났다.

외측 보-기둥 접합부에 정착된 곧은 보 주철근의 인발거동을 예견하기 위한 해석모델이 개발되었다. 이 모델은 외측조인트에 수직방향으로 콘크리트를 구속하기 위하여 횡방향 철근을 배치한 상태의 구속조건(confined condition)하에서 이형철근의 부착특성에 관한 정착철근의 직경, 콘크리트 압축강도, 항복강도, 철근간격 및 주압력(column pressure)에 대한 영향을 고려할 수 있는 국부부착에 관한 시뮬레이션을 구체화하였다. 이 연구에서 채택된 해석 기법은 횡방향 철근이 배근된 공시체에 매입한 곧은 이형철근에 대한 인발실험의 결과를 만족하게 예견하였다. ACI-ASCE 352 위원회가 제안하고 있는 외측조인트 상태에서의 정착 철근길이에 관한 규정이 개발된 해석접근법을 사용해 평가 되었다. 이 해석 평가의 결과는 현재의 외측조인트의 구속조건에서의 정착길이에 대한 규정이 너무 안정적인 측면에 있다는 것을 암시하고 있다.

Reinforced concrete shear walls with deficient reinforcement details are tested under cyclic loading. The deficiency of reinforcement details includes insufficient splice length in U-stirrups at the ends of horizontal reinforcement and boundary column dowel bars found in existing low- to mid-rise Korean buildings designed non-seismically. Three test specimens have rectangular, babel and flanged sections, respectively. Flexure- and shear-controlled models for reinforced concrete shear walls specified in ASCE/SEI 41-13 are compared with the flexural and shear components of force-displacement relation extracted separately from the top displacement of the specimen based on the displacement data measured at diverse locations. Modification of the shear wall models in ASCE/SEI 41-13 is proposed in order to account for the effect of bar slip, cracking loads in flexure and shear. The proposed modification shows better approximation of the test results compared to the original models.

Microbubbles oxygen transfer to water was simulated based on experimental results obtained from the bubbles generation operated under varying liquid supply velocity to the multi-step orifices of the generator. It had been known that liquid supply velocity and bubble size are inversely related. In the oxygen transfer, a non-steady state was assumed and the pseudo stagnation caused the slow movement of bubbles from the bottom to the water surface. Two parameters were considered for the simulation: They represent a factor to correct the pseudo stagnation state and a scale which represented the amount of bubbles in supply versus time. The sum of absolute error determined by fitting regression to the experimental results was comparable to that of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) model, which is based on concentration differential as the driving force. Hence, considering the bubbles formation factors, the simulation process has the potential to be easily used for applications by introducing two parameters in the assumptions. Compared with the ASCE model, the simulation method reproduced the experimental results well by detailed conditions.

Several international codes have been developed for evaluating wind loads on structures; however, the wind structure interaction could not be accurately captured by these codes due to the gusty nature of wind and the dynamic behavior of structures. Therefore, the alternative wind tunnel testing was introduced. In this study, an introduction to the available approaches for wind load calculations for tall buildings was presented. Then, a comparative study between different codes: the Egyptian code, ECP 201-08, ASCE 7-05, BS 6399-2, and wind tunnel test results was conducted. An investigation has been carried out on two case studies tall buildings located within the Arabian Gulf region. Numerical models using (ETABS) software were produced to obtain the relation between codes analytical values and wind tunnel experimental test results for wind loads in the along and across wind directions. Results for the main structural responses including stories forces, shears, overturning moments, lateral displacements, and drifts were presented graphically in order to give clear comparison between the studied methods. The conclusions and recommendations for future works obtained from this research are finally presented to help improving Egyptian code provisions and show limitations for different cases.
