Torsional irregularity is one of the most probable types of horizontal irregularity and existence of this irregularity in most of the structural loading codes is determined by calculating the ratio of the maximum to the average story drift. No specific method has been previously recommended by the codes to calculate the mentioned ratio in the response spectrum analyses. In the current investigation, nine steel building structures with different plan layouts and number of stories have been analyzed and designed in order to evaluate the efficiency of three methods for calculating the ratio of the maximum to the average story drift in the response spectrum analyses. It should be noted that one of these methods is the approach used by current version of ETABS software andother ones are proposed in this paper. The obtained results using the proposed methods are compared with the time history analysis results. The comparisons show that one of these methods underestimates the mentioned ratio in all studied models, however, the other two methods have shown similar results. It is also found that the plan layouts and irregularities can affect how these methods estimate the ratios compared to those obtained by the time history analysis. Generally, it can be concluded that all of these methods can properly predict the ratio with acceptable errors.

Different incident angles of ground motions have been considered to evaluate the relationship between floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient. The issues specifically addressed are (1) variability in torsional irregularity coefficient and floor rotations with varying incident angles of ground motion (2) contradictory relationship between floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient. To explore the stated issues, an evaluation based on relative variation in seismic response quantities of linear asymmetric structure under the influence of horizontal bi-directional excitation with varying seismic orientations has been carried out using response history analysis. Several typical earthquake records are applied to the structure to demonstrate the relative variations of floor rotation and torsional irregularity coefficient for different seismic orientations. It is demonstrated that (1) Torsional irregularity coefficient (TIC) increases as the story number decreases when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of the structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, TIC either decreases as the story number decreases or there is no specific trend for TIC. Floor rotation increases in proportion to the story number when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, floor rotation either decreases as the story number increases or there is no specific trend for floor rotation and (2) TIC and floor rotation seems to be approximately inversely proportional to each other when the ground motion is considered along reference axes of the structure. For incident angles other than structure's reference axes, the relationship can even become directly proportional instead of inversely proportional.

The present study investigate the compressive stress, shear stress, tensile stress, vertical electrical displacement and horizontal electrical displacement induced due to a load moving with uniform velocity on the free rough surface of an irregular transversely isotropic functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) substrate. The closed form expressions ofsaid induced stresses and electrical displacements for both electrically open condition and electrically short condition have been deduced. The influence of various affecting parameters viz. maximum depth of irregularity, irregularity factor, parameter of functionally gradedness, frictional coefficient of the rough upper surface, piezoelectricity/dielectricity on said induced stresses and electrical displacements have been examined through numerical computation and graphical illustration for both electrically open and short conditions. The comparative analysis on the influence of electrically open and short conditions as well as presence and absence of piezoelectricity on the induced stresses and induced electrical displacements due to a moving load serve as the salient features of the present study. Moreover, some important peculiarities have also been traced out by means of graphs.

A significant portion of residential areas of Turkey is located in active earthquake zones. In Turkey occurred major earthquakes in last twenty years, such as Erzincan (1992), Kocaeli and $D{\ddot{u}}zce$ (1999), $Bing{\ddot{o}}l$ (2003), Van (2011). These earthquakes have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) buildings having horizontal and vertical irregularities are significantly damaged, which in turn most of them are collapsed. Architectural design and arrangement of load-bearing system have important effect on RC building since architectural design criteria in design process provide opportunity to make this type of buildings safer and economical under earthquake loads. This study aims to investigate comparatively the effects of weak story irregularity on earthquake behavior and rough construction costs of RC buildings by considering different soil-conditions given in the Turkish Earthquake Code. With this aim, Sta4-CAD program based on matrix displacement method is utilized. Considering that different story height and compressive strength of concrete, and infill walls or their locations are the variables, a set of structural models are developed to determine the effect of them on earthquake behavior and rough construction costs of RC buildings. In conclusion, some recommendations and results related to making RC buildings safer and more economical are presented by comparing results obtained from structural analyses.

분기기 궤도구조는 매우 복잡한 구조와 다양한 구성품으로 구성되어 일반 궤도보다 유지관리가 어렵고 보다 상세한 관리기준이 필요한 철도시설물이다. 본 연구의 목적은 공용중인 도시철도 선로와 인접한 굴착공사에 따른 지상부 분기기 궤도구조의 변형에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인접굴착 시공단계별 수치해석을 바탕으로 지상구간에 부설된 분기기 궤도선형을 고려한 주요위치별 궤도변형을 분석하였으며 이를 궤도틀림 기준과 비교하여 안전성을 확인하였다. 분석결과, 지상 분기기 궤도변형에 영향을 미치는 주요 시공단계는 굴착 최종 단계로 나타났으며, 면(고저)틀림인 연직변위가 상대적으로 크게 발생하였으나, 전체적으로는 수평방향의 변형이 지배적인 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 굴착 현장이 분기기 측면에 위치하는 측방굴착의 영향인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 분기기 주요위치별 변형량이 상이하고 굴착현장과의 이격거리에 따른 위치별 궤도변형의 편차가 발생하여 평면성틀림이 발생될 소지가 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 현재 발생된 궤도틀림을 바탕으로 인접굴착에 따른 추가적인 변위를 포함한 실 운행선 분기기 궤도구조의 궤도변형을 주요변형 특성이 발생되는 위치별로 중요도를 구분하여 별도의 관리가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

현대건축의 변화와 발달에 따라 건축물의 형상은 더욱 다양해지고 비정형화 되어가는 추세에 있다. 그러나, 건축물의 내진성능에 대한 고려를 배재한 가운데 진행된 건축형상의 변화에 대한 시도는 지진 발생 시 심각한 구조적 피해를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서, 건축형상에 대한 합리적 분류를 기반으로, 보다 상세하고 발전된 내진설계 전략을 수립하는 것은 매우 중요한 기술적 대비로서의 의미가 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 요각모서리 형상을 갖는 수평비정형 구조물들에 대한 내진성능을 비교 검토하고자 하였다. 최대한 단순화 된 비교가 가능하도록 정형구조물 및 서로 다른 네 가지 수평비정형 구조물 모델을 선정하여 구조적 특징을 통일시키고, 각 비정형성에 대한 등가정적해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과, 상대적으로 탁월한 정형구조물의 내진성능을 확인할 수 있었고, 수평비정형성을 반영하는 요각모서리 부분에서 상대적 응력집중 및 구조적손상이 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 미래의 도시건축물 내진설계를 위한 내진성능 기반의 가이드라인을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of elevator by means of the active roller guide. To this end, a dynamic model for the horizontal vibration of the elevator consisting of a supporting frame, cage and active roller guides was derived using the energy method. Free vibration analysis was then carried out based on the equations of motion. Active vibration controller was designed based on the equations of motion using the LQR theory and applied to the numerical model. Rail irregularity and wind pressure variation were considered as external disturbance in the numerical simulations. The numerical results show that the active vibration control of elevator is possible.

Nonlinear static analysis is used to quantify the resistance of the structure to lateral deformation and to gauge the mode of deformation and intensity of local demands. A simple method for the nonlinear static analysis of complex building structures subjected to monotonically increasing horizontal loading(pushover analysis) is presented. The method is designed to be a part of new methodologies for the seismic design and evaluation of structures. A variety of existing pushover analysis procedures are currently being consolidated under programs such as ATC 40 and FEMA 273. And various techniques have been recommended, including the use of constant lateral force profiles and the use of adaptive and multimodal approaches. In this paper a modal pushover analysis using design response spectra of UBC 97 is proposed. Proposed method is compared against the method in FEMA 273 and ATC 40, and results of time history analysis.
