최근 새로운 지진하중 저항시스템으로 셀프센터링(SCED) 가새 시스템이 개발되었다. 진보된 가새 시스템인 비좌굴 가새(BRB) 시스템과는 달리 큰 지진이 발생한 후 구조물의 잔류 변형을 줄이거나 없앨 수 있는 셀프센터링 능력은 SCED 가새 시스템의 장점이다. 본 논문에서는 SCED 가새와 BRB 가새 시스템의 거동에 비틀림의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 세 가지 다른 편심을 가진 3차원 구조물의 응답을 비선형 동적해석을 수행하여 비교하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 층간변위의 높이방향의 변화는 비정형성에 관계없이 SCED 가새골조의 응답이 BRB 가새골조보다 일정하였으며, 잔류 층간변위와 잔류 회전 응답은 비정형성이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 중층 구조물에서 SCED 가새골조의 변형집중계수(DCF)는 BRB 가새골조보다 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 SCED 가새골조가 건물 높이에 따라 보다 일정하게 변형함을 의미한다. DCF의 크기에 대한 비틀림 비정형의 효과는 작았다.

설치의 용이성과 경제성, 여러 다른 용도로의 전용 가능성, 유지보수의 용이성, 그리고 재동조의 편의성 등을 고려할 때 TLCD (Tuned Liquid Column Damper)는 기존에 건물의 응답제어에 많이 사용되는 TMD를 대체할 수 있는 감쇠장치라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TMD (Tuned Mass Damper)와 TLCD의 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 응답제어 성능평가에 관한 비교연구를 수행하였다. 성능비교분석 결과, 층간변위 제어성능에서는 TLCD가 TMD보다 우수한 성능을 보였고 가속도 제어성능에서는 서로 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 층간변위 제어에서는 저층에서 큰 제어성능을 발휘하고, 절대가속도 제어에서는 상층부에서 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 TLCD가 지진에 가장 문제가 되는 구조물의 안전성 및 거주자의 사용성에 있어서 효율적인 감쇠기라 할 수 있는 근거가 된다.

One of the main requirements of the seismic design codes must be its easy application by structural engineers. The use of practically-applicable models or simplified models as single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems is a good alternative to achieve this condition. In this study, deterministic and probabilistic response transformation factors are obtained to evaluate the response in terms of maximum ductility and maximum interstory drifts of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems based on the response of equivalent SDOF systems. For this aim, five steel frames designed with the Mexican City Building Code (MCBC) as well as their corresponding equivalent SDOF systems (which represent the characteristics of the frames) are analyzed. Both structural systems are subjected to ground motions records. For the MDOF and the simplified systems, incremental dynamic analyses IDAs are developed in first place, then, structural demand hazard curves are obtained. The ratio between the IDAs curves corresponding to the MDOF systems and the curves corresponding to the simplified models are used to obtain deterministic response transformation factors. On the other hand, demand hazard curves are used to calculate probabilistic response transformation factors. It was found that both approaches give place to similar results.

반응수정계수는 구조물의 비탄성 거동을 설계에 반영하고 설계지진력 산정시 설계강도를 탄성범위 이내로 저감시키기 위한 목적으로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 설계코드에서 채택하고 있는 반응수정계수는 과거의 지진피해로부터 관찰된 보편적 구조성능에 기인한 경험치이므로, 주기에 따른 동적성능과 구조 시스템의 구성에 따른 내진성능을 정확히 대변하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중간모멘트 연성골조를 대상으로 N2 Method를 이용하여 반응수정계수와 내진성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과를 미국의 IBC 2000 코드와 비교하여 이론적 타당성을 검증하였다. 해석결과 코드에 제시된 반응수정계수와 잘 부합되는 것으로 나타났으나, 동일한 구조시스템의 경우에도 주기에 따라 비교적 큰 차이를 보였다. 성능목표에 따른 사용성 기준을 설정하여 IDI를 평가한 결과, 설계지진에 대한 성능목표가 건물에 대한 내진성능을 대변하기는 어려우며 PBD(Performance Based Design)에 의거한 합리적인 접근이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Numerous failures in welded connections in steel moment-resisting building frames (SMRF) were observed when buildings were inspected after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. These observations raised concerns about the effectiveness of such frames for resisting strong earthquake ground motions. The behavior of SMRFs during an earthquake must be assessed using nonlinear dynamic analysis, and such assessments must permit the deterioration in connection strength to capture the behavior of the frame. The uncertainties that underlie both structural and dynamic loading also need to be included in the analysis process. This paper describes the analysis of one of approximately 200 SMRFs that suffered damage to its welded beam-to-column connections from the Northridge Earthquake is evaluated. Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of this SMRF in the time domain is performed using ground motions representing the Northridge Earthquake. Subsequently, a detailed uncertainty analysis is conducted for the building using an ensemble of earthquake ground motions. Probability distributions for deformation-related limit states, described in terms of maximum roof displacement or interstory drift, are constructed. Building fragilities that are useful for condition assessment of damaged building structures and for performance-based design are developed from these distributions.

This paper focuses on providing a practical approach for decision making in Performance-Based Design (PBD). Satisfactory performance is defined by several performance objectives that place limits on direct (monetary) loss and on a tolerable probability of collapse. No specific limits are placed on conventional engineering parameters such as forces or deformations, although it is assumed that sound capacity design principles are followed in the design process. The proposed design procedure incorporates different performance objectives up front, before the structural system is created, and assists engineers in making informed decisions on the choice of an effective structural system and its stiffness (period), base shear strength, and other important global structural parameters. The tools needed to implement this design process are (1) hazard curves for a specific ground motion intensity measure, (2) mean loss curves for structural and nonstructural subsystems, (3) structural response curves that relate, for different structural systems, a ground motion intensity measure to the engineering demand parameter (e.g., interstory drift or floor acceleration) on which the subsystem loss depends, and (4) collapse fragility curves. Since the proposed procedure facilitates decision making in the conceptual design process, it is referred to as a Design Decision Support System, DDSS. Implementation of the DDSS is illustrated in an example to demonstrate its practicality.

To investigate the seismic performance of Y-shaped eccentrically braced frames fabricated with high-strength steel (Y-HSS-EBFs), a shake table test of a 1:2 scaled three-story Y-HSS-EBF specimen was performed. The input wave for the shake table test was generated by the ground motions of El Centro, Taft, and Lanzhou waves. The dynamic properties, acceleration, displacement, and strain responses were obtained from the test specimen and compared with previous test results. In addition, a finite element model of the test specimen was established using the SAP2000 software. Results from the numerical analysis were compared with the test specimen results. During the shake table test, the specimen exhibited sufficient overall structural stiffness and safety but suffered some localized damage. The lateral stiffness of the structure degenerated during the high seismic intensity earthquake. The maximum elastic and elastoplastic interstory drift of the test specimen for different peak ground accelerations were 1/872 and 1/71, respectively. During the high seismic intensity earthquake, the links of the test specimen entered the plastic stage to dissipate the earthquake energy, while other structural members remained in the elastic stage. The Y-HSS-EBF is a safe, dual system with reliable seismic performance. The numerical analysis results were in useful agreement with the test results. This finding indicated that the finite element model in SAP2000 provided a very accurate prediction of the Y-HSS-EBF structure's behavior during the seismic loadings.

The application of critical excitation method with displacement-based objective function for multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems is investigated. To this end, a new critical excitation method is developed to find the critical input motion of a MDOF system as a synthetic accelerogram. The upper bound of earthquake input energy per unit mass is considered as a new constraint for the problem, and its advantages are discussed. Considering this constraint, the critical excitation method is then used to generate synthetic accelerograms for MDOF models corresponding to three shear buildings of 10, 16, and 22 stories. In order to demonstrate the reliability of generated accelerograms to estimate dynamic response of the structures, three target ground motions with considerable level of energy contents are selected to represent "real critical excitation" of each model, and the method is used to re-generate these ground motions. Afterwards, linear dynamic analyses are conducted using these accelerograms along with the generated critical excitations, to investigate the key parameters of response including maximum displacement, maximum interstory drift, and maximum absolute acceleration of stories. The results show that the generated critical excitations can make an acceptable estimate of the structural behavior compared to the target ground motions. Therefore, the method can be reliably implemented to generate critical excitation of the structure when real one is not available.

Oil, hysteretic and inertial mass dampers are representatives of passive dampers used for smart enhancement of seismic performance of building structures. Since oil dampers have a nonlinear relief mechanism and hysteretic dampers possess nonlinear restoring-force characteristics, several difficulties arise in the evaluation of buildings including such dampers. The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical method for simultaneous optimal use of such dampers. The optimum design problem is formulated so as to minimize the maximum interstory drift under design earthquakes in terms of a set of damper quantities subject to an equality constraint on the total cost of dampers. The proposed method to solve the optimum design problem is a successive procedure which consists of two steps. The first step is a sensitivity analysis by using nonlinear time-history response analyses, and the second step is a modification of the set of damper quantities based upon the sensitivity analysis. Numerical examples are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed design method.

In this study, the seismic performance and behavior characteristics of the upper truss structure of the large stadium are analyzed by nonlinear dynamic analysis. In the nonlinear dynamic analysis, the earthquake records were generated by site response analysis to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the relevant soil condition where the structure is located. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed using Perform-3D and the nonlinear properties of the substructure and the superstructure were determined in accordance with KISTEC guideline. According to the analysis results, excessive deformation occurred in the upper truss element, and plastic hinges exceeded the target performance in some members. Buckling-restrained brace is used for seismic retrofit of stadium structures and the analysis results shows the interstory drift satisfies the target performance level with dissipating the seismic energy efficiently.
