The authors' research group has developed a noncontact type of sensors which directly measure the inter-story drift displacements of a building during a seismic event. Soon after that event, such seismically-induced drift displacement data would provide structural engineers with useful information to judge how the stories have been damaged. This paper presents a scheme of estimating the story cumulative plastic deformation ratios based on such measured drift displacement information toward the building safety monitoring. The presented scheme requires the data of story drift displacements and the ground motion acceleration. The involved calculations are rather simple without any detailed information on structural elements required: the story hysteresis loops are first estimated and then the cumulative plastic deformation ratio of each story is evaluated from the estimated hysteresis. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated by utilizing the data of full-scale building model experiment performed at E-defense and conducting numerical simulations.

The structural behavior of reinforced concrete coupled shear wall structures is greatly influenced by the behavior of their coupling beams. This paper presents a process of the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete coupled shear wall-frame system linked by hysteretic dampers at each floor. The hysteretic dampers are located at the middle portion of the linked beams which most of the inelastic damage would be concentrated. This study concerned particularly with wall-frame structures that do not twist. The proposed method, which is based on the energy equilibrium method, offers an important design method by the result of increasing energy dissipation capacity and reducing damage to the wall's base. The optimum distribution of yield shear force coefficients is to evenly distribute the damage at dampers over the structural height based on the cumulative plastic deformation ratio of the dissipation device. Nonlinear dynamic analysis indicates that, with a proper set of damping parameters, the wall's dynamic responses can be well controlled. Finally, based on the total plastic strain energy and its trend through the height of the buildings, a prediction equation is suggested.

본 연구에서는 강재 슬릿댐퍼를 대상으로 하여 면외 변형을 구속할 수 있는 보완상세를 제시하고, 제안상세 적용 유무와 댐퍼의 형상비를 변수로 하여 일정진폭 가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 따라 제안상세가 적용된 슬릿댐퍼의 반복이력은 설정된 변수 범위에서 모두 안정적인 방추형의 이력거동을 나타내었으며 종국거동까지 댐퍼의 면외변형은 관찰되지 않았다. 누적변형각 분석을 통해 제안상세가 적용된 댐퍼 시스템은 대조군에 비해 월등히 큰 소성변형능력을 확보할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 구조적 효과(구속패널효과)는 슬릿댐퍼의 형상비가 작을수록 크게 나타났다. 관련 국외기준을 참고하여 제안상세 적용유무에 따른 슬릿댐퍼의 피로곡선을 작성하고 예측곡선 제시를 위한 매개변수를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 향 후 다양한 종류의 제진장치의 구조성능에 대한 정량적인 비교가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The near-collapse performance limit is defined as the deformation at the 20% drop of maximum base shear in the decreasing region of the pushover curve for ductile framed buildings. Although monotonic pushover analysis is preferred due to the simple application procedure, this analysis gives rise to overestimated results by neglecting the cumulative damage effects. In the present study, the acceptabilities of monotonic and cyclic pushover analysis results for the near-collapse performance limit state are determined by comparing with Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) results for a 5-story Reinforced Concrete framed building. IDA is performed to obtain the collapse point, and the near-collapse drift ratios for monotonic and cyclic pushover analysis methods are obtained separately. These two alternative drift ratios are compared with the collapse drift ratio. The correlations of the maximum tensile and compression strain at the base columns and beam plastic rotations with interstory drift ratios are acquired using the nonlinear time history analysis results by the simple linear regression analyses. It is seen that these parameters are highly correlated with the interstory drift ratios, and the results reveal that the near-collapse point acquired by monotonic pushover analysis causes unacceptably high tensile and compression strains at the base columns, as well as large plastic rotations at the beams. However, it is shown that the results of cyclic pushover analysis are acceptable for the near-collapse performance limit state.

In this paper, a particular type of all-steel HSS brace members with a locally reduced cross-sectional area was experimentally and numerically investigated. The brace member was strengthened against local buckling with inner and outer boxes in the reduced area. Four single-span braced frames were tested under cyclic lateral loadings. Specimens included a simple steel frame with a conventional box-shaped brace and three other all-steel reduced section buckling-restrained braces. After conducting the experimental program, numerical models of the proposed brace were developed and verified with experimental results. Then the length of the proposed fuse was increased and its effect on the cyclic behavior of the brace was investigated numerically. Eventually, the brace was detailed with a fuse-to-brace length of 30%, as well as the cross-sectional area of the fuse-to-brace of 30%, and the cyclic behavior of the system was studied numerically. The study showed that the proposed brace is stable up to a 2% drift ratio, and the plastic cumulative deformation requirement of AISC (2016) is easily achieved. The proposed brace has sufficient ductility and stability and is lighter, as well as easier to be fabricated, compared to the conventional mortar-filled BRB and all-steel BRB.

국내 액상화 상세평가에 관한 시방내용을 살펴보면, 지진을 정현하중으로 고려한 등가전단응력개념에 기초하여 전단응력을 달리한 3회 이상의 액상화 발생 실내진동시험을 수행하고 이를 토대로 액상화 저항응력비 곡선을 도시하여 지진규모별로 적용할 것을 명시하고 있다. 즉, 현행 액상화 상세평가에서는 실내진동시험결과인 응력, 변형률, 과잉간극수압, 유효응력, 응력 경괴의 변화 등의 다양한 결과들을 효과적으로 이용하지 못하고 최대전단응력과 액상화 발생시 진동재하횟수라는 단순한 시험결과만을 이용하여 액상화 평가를 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 현행 액상화 상세평가에서의 단순한 시험결과의 이용을 탈피하여 응력, 변형률, 그리고, 과잉간극수압 시간이력들과 응력-변형률 상관관계 및 유효응력경로 등의 다양한 실내진동시험 결과를 토대로 액상화 발생메카니즘을 포함한 지반의 동적저항상태를 분석하였다. 특히, 과잉간극수압의 영향을 고려한 동적 유효응력경로가 지반의 동적거동을 효과적으로 구분하여 나타낼 수 있는 점을 발견하고 이를 토대로 지반의 동적상태를 점진적 응력감소, 급진적 응력감소, 그리고 액상화 후 극한상태의 3단계로 구분하였다. 또한, 액상화 현상이 실제적으로 점진적 응력감소에서 급진적 응력감소로 전환되는 시점에서 대변형을 동반하여 발생한다는 사실을 발견하고 이를 액상화 상태전환시점으로 정의하였으며 이러한 액상화상태전환시점이 압축제하 또는 인장재제하로 하중방향이 바뀌는 시점에서 발생하는 점을 반영하여 1/4주기별 시험결과분석에 기초하여 저항특성을 나타내었다. 그리고, 본 연구를 통해 제안된 액상화 저항특성에 대한 타당성 검토를 위해 과잉간극수압으로 인해 발생하는 지반재료 내부에서 소산되는 에너지 개념과 기제안된 교란상태개념에 기초한 액상화 저항특성과 비교하였다. 연구결과, 제안된 누적 소성 전단변형률은 액상화 발생의 원인이 되는 과잉간 극수압의 영향을 합리적으로 표현하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 진동하중으로부터 소산되는 재료 내부의 에너지 변화를 신뢰성 높게 표현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 제안된 지반의 한계 저항특성의 경우, 기제안된 교란도 함$.$수에 기초한 수치해석방법보다 정확하게 대변형의 영향을 포함하지 않고 한계상태를 표현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Thermal fatigue strength of the solder joints is the most critical issue for TSOP(Thin Small Outline Package) because the leads of this package are extremely short and thermal deformation cannot be absorbed by the deflection of the lead. And the TSOP body can be subject to early fatigue failures in thermal cycle environments. This paper was discussed distribution of thermal stresses at near the joint between silicon chip and die pad and investigated their reliability of solder joints of TSOP with 42 alloy clad lead frame on printed circuit board through FEM and 3 different thermal cycling tests. It has been found that the stress concentration around the encapsulated edge structure for internal crack between the silicon chip and Cu alloy die pad. And using 42 alloy clad, The reliability of TSOP body was improved. In case of using 42 alloy clad die pad(t=0.03mm). $$\sigma$_{VMmax}$ is 69Mpa. It is showed that 15% improvement of the strength in the TSOP body in comparison with using Cu alloy die pad $($\sigma$_{VMmax}$=81MPa). In solder joint of TSOP, the maximum equivalent plastic strain and Von Mises stress concentrate on the heel of solder fillet and crack was initiated in it's region and propagated through the interface between lead and solder. Finally, the modified Manson-Coffin equation and relationship of the ratio of $N_{f}$ to nest(η) and cumulative fracture probability(f) with respect to the deviations of the 50% fracture probability life $(N_{f 50%})$ were achieved.
