The objective of this paper is to present an energy-based method for calculating target displacement of RC structures. The method, which uses the Newmark-Hall pseudo-velocity spectrum, is called the "Pseudo-velocity Spectrum (PSVS) Method". The method is based on the energy balance concept that uses the equality of energy demand and energy capacity of the structure. First, nonlinear static analyses are performed for five, eight and ten-story RC frame structures and pushover curves are obtained. Then the pushover curves are converted to energy capacity diagrams. Seven strong ground motions that were recorded at different soil sites in Turkey are used to obtain the pseudo-acceleration and the pseudo-velocity response spectra. Later, the response spectra are idealised with the Newmark-Hall approximation. Afterwards, energy demands for the RC structures are calculated using the idealised pseudo-velocity spectrum. The displacements, obtained from the energy capacity diagrams that fit to the energy demand values of the RC structures, are accepted as the energy-based performance point of the structures. Consequently, the target displacement values determined from the PSVS Method are checked using the displacement-based successive approach in the Turkish Seismic Design Code. The results show that the target displacements of RC frame structures obtained from the PSVS Method are very close to the values calculated by the approach given in the Turkish Seismic Design Code.

본 논문에서는 항만컨테이너 운영 모니터링 및 계획 시뮬레이션의 결과를 3차원으로 정적 동적 개체를 포함하는 주변 환경의 거동을 시각적으로 표현하고 실제 작업이 이루어지는 애니메이션을 통해 운영모델을 직관적으로 평가가 가능한 시뮬레이션 가시화 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 항만 시뮬레이션 가시화 시스템(PSVS)은 객체의 상태를 XML기반으로 설계하여 기존의 항만 운영 시뮬레이션(CATOS)과 상호운용성에 있어서 연동성을 극대화하고 실시간으로 대규모 객체에 대한 애니메이션 표현이 가능하도록 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 PSVS시스템의 설계 방법에 대해서 설명하고 실험을 통해 PSVS의 타당성을 검토하였다.
