A method that determines the minimum stiffness of baracing to achieve non-sway buckling conditions at a given story level of a multi-column elastic frame is proposed. Condensed equations that evaluate the required minimum stiffness of the lateral and torsional bracing are derived using the classical stability functions. The proposed method is applicable to elastic framed structures with rigid, semirigid, and simple connections. It is shown that the minimum stiffness of the bracing required by a multi-column system depends on: 1) the plan layout of the columns; 2) the variation in height and cross sectional properties among the columns; 3) the applied axial load pattern on the columns; 4) the lack of symmetry in the loading pattern, column layout, column sizes and heights that cause torsion-sway and its effects on the flexural bucking capacity; and 5) the flexural and torsional end restrains of the columns. The proposed method is limited to elastic framed structures with columns of doubly symmetrical cross section with their principal axes parallel to the global axes. However, it can be applied to inelastic structures when the nonlinear behavior is concentrated at the end connections. The effects of axial deformations in beams and columns are neglected. Three examples are presented in detail to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The earthquake loss assessment framework of ductile reinforced concrete (or RC) frame using component-performance -based methodology was studied in this paper. The elasto-plastic rotation angle was used as the damage indicator of structural component, and the damage-to-loss model was proposed on the basis of the deformation indicator of structural component. Dynamic instability during incremental dynamic analysis was taken as collapse criterion, and column failure was taken as criterion that structure has to be demolished. Expected earthquake losses of low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise RC frames were discussed. The expected earthquake loss encompassed collapse loss, demolition loss and repair loss. Furthermore, component groups of RC frame were divided into structural components, nonstructural components and rugged components. The results indicate that ductile RC frame is more likely to be demolished than collapse, especially in low-rise and mid-rise RC frames. Furthermore, the less collapse margin ratio the structure has, the more demolition probability the structure will suffer under rare earthquake. The demolition share of total earthquake loss might be more prominent than repair share and collapse share in ductile RC frame.

콘크리트의 압축파괴에 의한 취성적인 비틀림파괴와 사인장균열의 폭을 제한하기 위하여 콘크리트구조기준은 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 제한하고 있다. 2012년에 콘크리트구조기준에서는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 400 MPa에서 500 MPa로 상향하였다. 그 이유는 500 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재의 경우에도 전단파괴하는 부재와 유사하게 기준에서 요구하는 비틀림파괴모드, 사용성, 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단하였기 때문이다. 그러나 현재 고강도 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재에 대한 연구는 전단부재에 대한 연구에 비하여 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 340 MPa, 480 MPa, 667 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 철근콘크리트 보의 비틀림거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험에 의하면 비틀림보강철근의 파괴모드는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트의 압축강도에 의하여 영향을 받았다. 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도가 400 MPa이하인 경우에는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 무관하게 한 곳 이상에서 비틀림보강철근이 항복강도에 도달하여 비틀림인장파괴하였지만, 항복강도가 480 MPa 이상인 경우에는 비틀림보강철근이 항복하지 않는 경우가 발생하여 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes a novel frame element on Winkler-Pasternak foundation for analysis of a non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) member resting on foundation. These structural members represent flexural-shear critical members, which are commonly found in existing buildings designed and constructed with the old seismic design standards (inadequately detailed transverse reinforcement). As a result, these structures always experience shear failure or flexure-shear failure under seismic loading. To predict the characteristics of these non-ductile structures, efficient numerical models are required. Therefore, the novel frame element on Winkler-Pasternak foundation with inclusion of the shear-flexure interaction effect is developed in this study. The proposed model is derived within the framework of a displacement-based formulation and fiber section model under Timoshenko beam theory. Uniaxial nonlinear material constitutive models are employed to represent the characteristics of non-ductile RC frame and the underlying foundation. The shear-flexure interaction effect is expressed within the shear constitutive model based on the UCSD shear-strength model as demonstrated in this paper. From several features of the presented model, the proposed model is simple but able to capture several salient characteristics of the non-ductile RC frame resting on foundation, such as failure behavior, soil-structure interaction, and shear-flexure interaction. This confirms through two numerical simulations.

Shear wall is commonly used as a lateral force resisting system of concrete mid-rise and high-rise buildings, but it brings challenges in providing relatively large space throughout the building height. For this reason, the structure system where the upper structure with bearing, non-bearing and/or shear walls that sits on top of a transfer plate system supported by widely spaced columns at the lower stories is preferred in some regions, particularly in low to moderate seismic regions in Asia. A thick reinforced concrete (RC) plate has often been used as a transfer system, along with RC transfer girders; however, the RC plate becomes very thick for tall buildings. Applying the post-tensioning (PT) technique to RC plates can effectively reduce the thickness and reinforcement as an economical design method. Currently, a simplified model is used for numerical modeling of PT transfer plate, which does not consider the interaction of the plate and the upper structure. To observe the actual behavior of PT transfer plate under seismic loads, it is necessary to model whole parts of the structure and tendons to precisely include the interaction and the secondary effect of PT tendons in the results. This research evaluated the seismic behavior of shear wall-type residential buildings with PT transfer plates for the condition that PT tendons are included or excluded in the modeling. Three-dimensional finite element models were developed, which includes prestressing tendon elements, and response spectrum analyses were carried out to evaluate seismic forces. Two buildings with flat-shape and L-shape plans were considered, and design forces of shear walls and transfer columns for a system with and without PT tendons were compared. The results showed that, in some cases, excluding PT tendons from the model leads to an unrealistic estimation of the demands for shear walls sit on transfer plate and transfer columns due to excluding the secondary effect of PT tendons. Based on the results, generally, the secondary effect reduces shear force demand and axial-flexural demands of transfer columns but increases the shear force demand of shear walls. The results of this study suggested that, in addition to the effect of PT on the resistance of transfer plate, it is necessary to include PT tendons in the modeling to consider its effect on force demand.

중공슬래브 시스템은 슬래브 두께가 증가해도 자중은 크게 증가하지 않고, 일반슬래브에 비해서 휨성능이 크게 저하되지 않는 장점이 있다. 이러한 경제적인 건물 설계 및 친환경 구조물 구현을 가능하게 하는 시스템에도 불구하고 중공슬래브의 활용도는 현재로서는 낮다고 할 수 있다. 특히 국내의 건축분야에 있어서는 매우 낮은 편이다. 이러한 현 상황의 가장 큰 이유는 중공슬래브의 적용을 위한 구조 해석 및 설계방법이 일반화되어 있지 않다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실질적인 압축영역을 고려하기 위해 가정한 중공 단면형상에서 중립축 위치에 따른 압축응력블럭의 체적으로 휨강도 산정식을 제시하였다. 기존 중공부 상부만을 압축영역으로 고려한 휨강도 산정방법은 가장 보수적인 방법으로 판단되며 2개의 대체단면을 설정하여 휨내력을 산정하는 것이 더 실질적인 방법으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 염해에 열화작용을 일으키는 염소이온을 고정하기 위한 방안으로 이온교환능력과 흡착능력이 우수하다고 알려진 층상이중수산화물(LDHs)을 활용하였다. 실험에 앞서 두 종류의 LDHs(Mg/Ca)를 공침법을 사용하여 합성하였고, 합성된 고형물을 활용하여 수용액내에서 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 일반적 합성법인 공침법으로 기존문헌의 입증된 나노 입자의 LDHs를 제조 할 수 있었으며 이는 건축재료로써의 적용에 앞서 간단한 제조방법만으로도 제조가 가능하다는 긍정적인 효과로 볼 수 있다. 또한, 이온교환시간 15분내에서는 Mg체계가 고정속도가 빨랐으나, 그 후의 시간에서는 최대 4시간까지 Ca체계의 고정량이 우수하였다. 임계치 $1.2kg/m^3$의 경우 0.5 g당 Mg/Ca은 각각 0.0035g, 0.0015g의 염소이온을 고정하였다. 또한, 효과가 우수했던 이온교환된 Ca체계를 XRD 분석한 결과 층간에 삽입한 $NO_3$가 용출되고 염소이온이 치환되었음을 알 수 있었다. 시멘트계의 적용시 Mg체계보다 Ca체계가 우수한 고정효과를 기대 할 수 있다고 판단되며, 향후 연구에서는 본 연구에 결과를 바탕으로 시멘트계 재료에서의 염소이온 고정효율을 평가하고자 한다.

The present paper summarizes the results of an experimental program on the influence of using waste lathe scraps in the concrete mixture on the shear behavior of RC beams with different amounts of shear reinforcement. Three different volumetric ratios (1, 2 and %3) for the scraps and three different stirrup spacings (160, 200 and 270 mm) were adopted in the tests. The shear span-to-depth ratios of the beams were 2.67 and the stirrup spacing exceeded the maximum spacing limit in the building codes to unfold the contribution of lathe scraps to the shear resistances of shear-deficient beams, subject to shear-dominated failure (shear-tension). The experiments depicted that the lathe scraps have a pronounced contribution to the shear strength and load-deflection behavior of RC beams with widely-spaced stirrups. Namely, with the addition of 1%, 2% and 3% waste lathe scraps, the load-bearing capacity escalated by 9.1%, 21.8% and 32.8%, respectively, compared to the reference beam. On the other hand, the contribution of the lathe scraps to the load capacity decreases with decreasing stirrup spacing, since the closely-spaced stirrups bear the shear stresses and render the contribution of the scraps to shear resistance insignificant. The load capacity, deformation ductility index (DDI) and modulus of toughness (MOT) values of the beams were shown to increase with the volumetric fraction of scraps if the stirrups are spaced at about two times the beam depth. For the specimens with a stirrup spacing of about the beam depth, the scraps were found to have no considerable contribution to the load capacity and the deformation capacity beyond the ultimate load. In other words, for lathe scrap contents of 1-3%, the DDI values increased by 5-23% and the MOT values by 63.5-165% with respect to the reference beam with a stirrup spacing of 270 mm. The influence of the lathe scraps to the DDI and MOT values were rather limited and even sometimes negative for the stirrup spacing values of 160 and 200 mm.
