The fundamental period of vibration is one of the most critical parameters in the analysis and design of structures, as it depends on the distribution of stiffness and mass within the structure. Therefore, building codes propose empirical equations based on the observed periods of actual buildings during seismic events and ambient vibration tests. However, despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of the structure, causing significant changes in the fundamental period, most of these equations do not account for the presence of infills walls in the structure. Typically, these equations are dependent on both the structural system type and building height. The different values between the empirical and analytical periods are due to the elimination of non-structural effects in the analytical methods. Therefore, the presence of non-structural elements, such as infill panels, should be carefully considered. Another critical factor influencing the fundamental period is the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). Most seismic building design codes generally consider SSI to be beneficial to the structural system under seismic loading, as it increases the fundamental period and leads to higher damping of the system. Recent case studies and postseismic observations suggest that SSI can have detrimental effects, and neglecting its impact could lead to unsafe design, especially for structures located on soft soil. The current research focuses on investigating the effect of infill panels on the fundamental period of moment-resisting and eccentrically braced steel frames while considering the influence of soil-structure interaction. To achieve this, the effects of building height, infill wall stiffness, infill openings and soil structure interactions were studied using 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18-story 3-D frames. These frames were modeled and analyzed using SeismoStruct software. The calculated values of the fundamental period were then compared with those obtained from the proposed equation in the seismic code. The results indicate that changing the number of stories and the soil type significantly affects the fundamental period of structures. Moreover, as the percentage of infill openings increases, the fundamental period of the structure increases almost linearly. Additionally, soil-structure interaction strongly affects the fundamental periods of structures, especially for more flexible soils. This effect is more pronounced when the infill wall stiffness is higher. In conclusion, new equations are proposed for predicting the fundamental periods of Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) and Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) buildings. These equations are functions of various parameters, including building height, modulus of elasticity, infill wall thickness, infill wall percentage, and soil types.

벼 직파재배에서 새 피해, 발아 및 입모불량 그리고 도복피해 등 기술보급저해요인을 해소하기 위하여 개발된 규산 코팅볍씨의 이앙용 상자육묘에서 건묘육성과 벼키다리병 발병 경감을 구명하기 위하여 호기조건인 상자육묘조건과 혐기조건인 Pot이앙조건으로 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 코팅볍씨에서 묘의 출현은 무코팅볍씨에서 보다 2-3일 빨랐고 입고병과 벼키다리병 발생이 현저히 경감되었다. 2. 파종후 45일 생체중은 건전묘에서 11%, 이병묘에서 2.01배로 규산코팅볍씨의 건묘 육성효과가 뚜렷하였다. 3. 육묘 중 파종후 80일까지 벼키다리병 발생은 무코팅볍씨 91.6%에 비하여 7.8%로 현저하게 경감되었다. 4. 최대발병률을 보인 파종 후 45일에 이앙된 코팅볍씨에서 무코팅볍씨에 비하여 건전묘의 추가발병이 거의 없었고 이병묘의 정상생육 회복도 가능하였다. 5. 코팅볍씨에서 육묘된 토양과 식물체의 뿌리와 엽초기부조직에서 활동성 소형포자와 대형포자의 분포가 무코팅에서보다 현저하게 줄었다. 특히 코팅볍씨의 육묘토양과 이병묘/건전묘에서는 무코팅볍씨에서 나타난 전형적인 대형포자(3-7개의 격막과 양끝이 낫처럼 굽은)와는 다른 격막이 없고 두터운 세포벽을 갖는 장방형 미성숙 대형포자 출현이 발병 경감원인으로 주목되었다. 6. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 코팅볍씨의 육묘 중 벼키다리병 발병경감과 이앙 후 이병묘의 정상생육 회복 그리고 건전묘의 이병화경감은 강알칼리성 수용성 규산과 다공성 지오라이트 그리고 종피 잠복 병원균 간의 물리화학적 특성과 건전묘의 균에 대한 저항성에 기인되었을 것으로 판단되었다.
