본 연구에서는 중고층 건물과 같이 고차모드의 영향이 커지는 구조물의 지진에 대한 성능점을 간략하고 정확하게 구할 수 있는 개선된 능력스펙트럼법을 제안한다. 능력스펙트럼법은 주어진 지진의 응답스펙트럼과 다자유도 구조물을 변환한 등가 단자유도 시스템을 이용하여 지진으로 인하여 발생하는 지붕층의 최대 비탄성변위를 간략하게 구하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법에서는 구조물의 탄성 및 비탄성 동적해석을 수행하지 않고, 기존의 능력스펙트럼법에서 요구되는 정적푸쉬오버해석과 탄성변위를 이용하여 비탄성변위를 예측하는데, 기존 연구에서 개발한 $C_R$을 이용한다. 본 연구는 제안한 방법의 정확도를 평가하기 위해 LA 지역의 3, 9, 20층 철골모멘트저항골조를 선택한다. 이 건물들의 지진에 대한 각 층별 최대 층간변위비를 개발한 CSM으로 구하고, 이를 비선형 응답이력해석(NL-RHA)으로 구한 결과와 비교하였다. 사용한 지진은 재현주기 475년과 2475년의 위험수준에 대한 각각 20개의 지진집단들이다. 또한 본 연구에서는 ATC-40에 제시된 CSM 방법과 N2 방법으로 구한 각 건물의 최대 층간변위비도 비교한다. 개발된 CSM은 기존에 개발된 방법에 비하여 보다 정확한 최대 층간변위비를 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

최대지반가속도(PGA : Peak Ground Acceleration)는 지진파의 최대값을 나타내는 매개변수(Parameter)이며 주로 지진파의 강도를 나타낸다. PGA가 동일하더라도 지진파에 따라 다른 동적특성을 가질 수 있고 구조물에 미치는 영향도 다를 수 있다. 따라서 PGA만으로 구조물에 미치는 지진의 특성을 평가하는 것은 바람직하지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답해석을 위하여 단자유도(Single Degree Of Freedom) 구조물의 시간이력해석 수행하였으며, 수치해석모델은 완전 탄소성(Perfect Elasto-Plastic)으로 가정하였다. 검토한 입력 지진파는 El Centro NS(1940)의 값을 증감한 지진파를 포함한 실측지진파, 인공지진파를 사용하였다. 이와 같은 수치해석을 통하여 PGA가 동일한 인공지진파들에 대해 비탄성 지진응답해석을 수행하고, 각 지진파에 대하여 변위연성도와 누적소산에너지를 비교하였다. 그 결과 동일한 PGA를 가지더라도 지진파에 따라 서로 다른 응답을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 지진의 특성뿐 아니라 구조물의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 지표가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답을 대표할 수 있는 SI(Spectrum Intensity)는 속도응답스펙트럼의 일정구간에 대한 적분을 통하여 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 SI와 변위연성도 및 누적소산에너지의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 구조물의 지진에 대한 비탄성응답의 대표값으로 SI가 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

It has been recognized that damage control must become a more explicit design consideration. In an effort to develop design methods based on performance it is clear that the evaluation of the inelastic response is required. The methods available to the design engineer today are nonlinear time history analyses, or monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated inelastic influences. Some codes proposed the capacity spectrum method based on the nonlinear static(pushover) analysis to determine earthquake-induced demand given the structure pushover curve. This procedure is conceptually simple but iterative and time consuming with some errors. This paper presents a nonlinear direct spectrum method to evaluate seismic Performance of structure, without iterative computations, given the structural initial elastic period and yield strength from the pushover analysis, especially for multi degree of freedom structures. The purpose of this paper is to investigate accuracy and confidence of this method from a point of view of various earthquakes and unloading stiffness degradation parameters.

Methods for the seismic demands evaluation of structures require iterative procedures. Many studies dealt with the development of different inelastic spectra with the aim to simplify the evaluation of inelastic deformations and performance of structures. Recently, the concept of inelastic spectra has been adopted in the global scheme of the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) through Capacity-Spectrum Method (CSM). For instance, the Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) has been proved to provide accurate results for inelastic buildings to a similar degree of accuracy than the Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) in estimating peak response for elastic buildings. In this paper, a simplified nonlinear procedure for evaluation of the seismic demand of structures is proposed with its applicability to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. The basic concept is to write the equation of motion of (MDOF) system into series of normal modes based on an inelastic modal decomposition in terms of ductility factor. The accuracy of the proposed procedure is verified against the Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NL-THA) results and Uncoupled Modal Response History Analysis (UMRHA) of a 9-story steel building subjected to El-Centro 1940 (N/S) as a first application. The comparison shows that the new theoretical approach is capable to provide accurate peak response with those obtained when using the NL-THA analysis. After that, a simplified nonlinear spectral analysis is proposed and illustrated by examples in order to describe inelastic response spectra and to relate it to the capacity curve (Pushover curve) by a new parameter of control, called normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$). In the second application, the proposed procedure is verified against the NL-THA analysis results of two buildings for 80 selected real ground motions.

To estimate the structural seismic demand, some methods are based on an equivalent linear system such as the Capacity Spectrum Method, the N2 method and the Equivalent Linearization method. Another category, widely investigated, is based on displacement correction such as the Displacement Coefficient Method and the Coefficient Method. Its basic concept consists in converting the elastic linear displacement of an equivalent Single Degree of Freedom system (SDOF) into a corresponding inelastic displacement. It relies on adequate modifying or reduction coefficient such as the inelastic deformation ratio which is usually developed for systems with known ductility factors ($C_{\mu}$) and ($C_R$) for known yield-strength reduction factor. The present paper proposes a rational approach which estimates this inelastic deformation ratio for SDOF bilinear systems by rigorous nonlinear analysis. It proposes a new inelastic deformation ratio which unifies and combines both $C_{\mu}$ and $C_R$ effects. It is defined by the ratio between the inelastic and elastic maximum lateral displacement demands. Three options are investigated in order to express the inelastic response spectra in terms of: ductility demand, yield strength reduction factor, and inelastic deformation ratio which depends on the period, the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio, the yield strength and the peak ground acceleration. This new inelastic deformation ratio ($C_{\eta}$) is describes the response spectra and is related to the capacity curve (pushover curve): normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$), post-to-preyield stiffness ratio (${\alpha}$), natural period (T), peak ductility factor (${\mu}$), and the yield strength reduction factor ($R_y$). For illustrative purposes, instantaneous ductility demand and yield strength reduction factor for a SDOF system subject to various recorded motions (El-Centro 1940 (N/S), Boumerdes: Algeria 2003). The method accuracy is investigated and compared to classical formulations, for various hysteretic models and values of the normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$), post-to-preyield stiffness ratio (${\alpha}$), and natural period (T). Though the ductility demand and yield strength reduction factor differ greatly for some given T and ${\eta}$ ranges, they remain take close when ${\eta}>1$, whereas they are equal to 1 for periods $T{\geq}1s$.

비선형시스템을 등가의 선형시스템으로 치환하는 것은 해석이 간단하다는 매우 중요한 장점을 제공하지만 구조물의 실제 비선형거동을 정확하게 모델링하지 못하기 때문에 능력스펙트럼법의 정확도는 정확한 등가주기와 등가감쇠비의 산정과 구해진 등가감쇠비에 따른 탄성응답스펙트럼의 수정방법과 그에 따른 요구곡선의 산정에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 요구곡선의 산정방법에 따른 능력스펙트럼법의 정확성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 ATC-40과 Euro Code에서 제안한 감소 계수 등의 유효성을 평가하였다. Newmark와 Hall의 수정계수에 기초로 한 ATC-40에서 주어진 감소 계수에 의해 구해진 가속도 응답에 비해 Euro Code에서 주어진 감소 계수를 이용하여 구한 가속도 응답이 실제 평균 응답에 보다 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 유사가속도 응답을 이용한 방법과 절대가속도 응답을 이용한 방법을 이용하여 요구곡선을 산정하여 능력스펙트럼법의 정확성을 검증해 보았다. 절대가속도 응답을 이용한 결과가 전반적으로 유사가속도 응답을 이용한 결과에 비해 커짐을 알 수 있었고, 능력스펙트럼법이 전반적으로 응답을 과소평가하는 경향이 있어서 이러한 큰 값을 주는 것이 좀 더 정확한 결과를 줌을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 탄성 최대 강도에 대한 항복 강도의 비가 커질수록 그리고 항복 후 강성비가 커질수록 이러한 결과의 차이는 거의 없어짐을 알 수 있었다.

The existing capacity spectrum method (CSM) is based on the displacement based approach for seismic performance and evaluation. Currently, in the domestic and overseas standard concerning seismic design, the CSM to obtain capacity spectrum from capacity curve and demand spectrum from elastic response spectrum is presented. In the multistory building, collapse is affected more by drift than by displacement, but the existing CSM does not work for story drift. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved CSM to estimate story drift of structures through seismic performance and evaluation. It uses the ductility factor in the A-T domain to obtain constant-ductility response spectrum from earthquake response of inelastic system using the drift and capacity curve from capacity analysis of structure.

This article presents the statistical characteristics of elastic floor acceleration spectra that represent the peak response demand of non-structural components attached to a nonlinear supporting frame. For this purpose, a set of stiff and flexible general moment resisting frames with periods of 0.3-3.6 sec. are analyzed using forty-nine near-field strong ground motion records. Peak accelerations are derived for each single degree of freedom non-structural component, supported by the above mentioned frames, through a direct-integration time-history analysis. These accelerations are obtained by Floor Acceleration Response Spectrum (FARS) method. They are statistically analyzed in the next step to achieve a better understanding of their height-wise distributions. The factors that affect FARS values are found in the relevant state of the art. Here, they are summarized to evaluate the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values especially when the supporting structures undergo inelastic behavior. The properties of FARS values are studied in three regions: long-period, fundamental-period and short-period. Maximum elastic acceleration response of non-structural component, mounted on inelastic frames, depends on the following factors: inelasticity intensity and modal periods of supporting structure; natural period, damping ratio and location of non-structural component. The FARS values, corresponded to the modal periods of supporting structure, are strongly reduced beyond elastic domain. However, they could be amplified in the transferring period domain between the mentioned modal periods. In the next step, the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values, caused by inelastic behavior of supporting structure, are calculated. A parameter called the response acceleration reduction factor ($R_{acc}$), has been previously used for far-field earthquakes. The feasibility of extending this parameter for near-field motions is focused here, suggested repeatedly in the relevant sources. The nonlinearity of supporting structure is included in ($R_{acc}$) for better estimation of maximum non-structural component absolute acceleration demand, which is ordinarily neglected in the seismic design provisions.

Using the nonlinear static procedures has become very common in seismic codes to achieve the nonlinear response of the structure during an earthquake. The capacity spectrum method (CSM) adopted in ATC-40 is considered as one of the most known and useful procedures. For this procedure the seismic demand can be approximated from the maximum deformation of an equivalent linear elastic Single-Degree-of-Freedom system (SDOF) that has an equivalent damping ratio and period by using an iterative procedure. Data from the results of this procedure are plotted in acceleration- displacement response spectrum (ADRS) format. Different improvements have been made in order to have more accurate results compared to the Non Linear Time History Analysis (NL-THA). A new procedure is presented in this paper where the iteration process shall not be required. This will be done by estimation the ductility demand response spectrum (DDRS) and the corresponding effective damping of the bilinear system based on a new parameter of control, called normalized yield strength coefficient (η), while retaining the attraction of graphical implementation of the improved procedure of the FEMA-440. The proposed procedure accuracy should be verified with the NL-THA analysis results as a first implementation. The comparison shows that the new procedure provided a good estimation of the nonlinear response of the structure compared with those obtained when using the NL-THA analysis.

A simplified yet effective design procedure for viscous dampers was presented based on improved capacity spectrum method in the context of performance-based seismic design. The amount of added viscous damping required to meet a given performance objective was evaluated from the difference between the total demand for effective damping and inherent damping plus equivalent damping resulting from hysteretic deformation of system. Application of the method is illustrated by means of two examples, using Chinese design response spectrum and mean response spectrum. Nonlinear dynamic analysis results indicate that the maximum displacements of structures installed with supplemental dampers designed in accordance with the proposed method agree well with the given target displacements. The advantage of the presented procedure over the conventional iterative design method is also highlighted.
