A hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system with a smart damper has been proposed to mitigate seismic responses of tall buildings. Based on previous research, a hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system can provide effective control performance for reduction of seismic responses of tall buildings. Structural design of the hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system is generally performed after completion of structural design of a building structure. This design concept is called as an iterative design which is a general design process for structures and control devices. In the iterative design process, optimal design solution for the structure and control system is changed at each design stage. To solve this problem, the integrated optimal design method for the hybrid mid-story seismic isolation system and building structure was proposed in this study. An existing building with mid-story isolation system, i.e. Shiodome Sumitomo Building, was selected as an example structure for more realistic study. The hybrid mid-story isolation system in this study was composed of MR (magnetorheological) dampers. The stiffnessess and damping coefficients of the example building, maximum capacity of MR damper, and stiffness of isolation bearing were simultaneously optimized. Multi-objective genetic optimization method was employed for the simultaneous optimization of the example structure and the mid-story seismic isolation system. The optimization results show that the simultaneous optimization method can provide better control performance than the passive mid-story isolation system with reduction of structural materials.

본 논문에서는 RNN 순환 신경망 (Recurrent Neural Network) 모델을 사용하여 스마트 중간층 면진 시스템의 지진 응답 제어 성능을 수치 해석을 통하여 검토하였다. 이를 위해서 지진 하중을 받는 건물의 동적 지진 응답 예측을 위한 RNN 모델을 개발하였다. 보다 실제적인 연구를 위하여 중간층 면진 시스템이 설치된 실존하는 건물인 시오도메 스미토모 건물을 예제 구조물로 선택하였다. 스마트 중간층 면진 시스템은 기존의 납 댐퍼를 대신하여 MR (Magnetorheological) 댐퍼를 사용하여 구성하였다. 그 외 고무 베어링이나 강재 댐퍼는 그대로 사용 하였다. 수치 해석을 통하여 개발된 RNN 모델이 기존의 FEM (Finite Element Method) 모델과 비교해서 매우 정확한 응답을 예측하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. RNN 모델을 사용하면 자유도가 많은 FEM 모델을 사용한 경우에 비하여 해석 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 개발된 RNN 모델을 사용한 수치 해석 결과 스마트 중간층 면진 시스템이 기존의 수동 중간층 면진 시스템에 비하여 구조물의 지진 응답을 대폭 저감시킬 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A base isolation system is widely used to reduce seismic responses of low-rise buildings. This system cannot be effectively applied to high-rise buildings because the initial stiffness of the high-rise building with the base isolation system maintains almost the same as the building without the base isolation system to set the yield shear force of the base isolation system larger than the design wind load. To solve this problem, the mid-story isolation system was proposed and applied to many buildings. The mid-story isolation system has two major objectives; first to reduce peak story drift and second to reduce peak drift of the isolation story. Usually, these two objectives are in conflict. In this study, a hybrid mid-story isolation system for a tall building is proposed. A MR (magnetorheological) damper was used to develop the hybrid mid-story isolation system. An existing building with mid-story isolation system, that is "Shiodome Sumitomo Building" a high rise building having a large atrium in the lower levels, was used for control performance evaluation of the hybrid mid-story isolation system. Fuzzy logic controller and genetic algorithm were used to develop the control algorithm for the hybrid mid-story isolation system. It can be seen from analytical results that the hybrid mid-story isolation system can provide better control performance than the ordinary mid-story isolation system and the design process developed in this study is useful for preliminary design of the hybrid mid-story isolation system for a tall building.

Because a smart isolation system cannot be used as a base isolation system for tall buildings, top-story or mid-story isolation systems are required. In this study, adaptability of a smart top-story isolation system for reduction of seismic responses of tall buildings in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity has been investigated. To this end, 20-story example building structure was selected and an MR damper and low damping elastomeric bearings were used to compose a smart base isolation system. Artificial earthquakes generated based on design spectrum of low-to-moderate seismicity regions are used for structural analyses. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that a smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce both structural responses and isolation story drifts of the building structure in low-to-moderate seismicity regions in comparison with a passive top-story isolation system.
