1994년 미국 노스리지 지진 당시 상당 부분의 피해가 보 하부 플랜지에서 발생하였는데, 이의 원인으로 여러 가지가 거론되었지만 바닥슬래브와 합성작용에 의한 중립축 상승이 주요한 역학적 원인으로 인정되고 있다. 국내의 경우 지진에 저항하는 모멘트골조에 속하는 보(moment frame beam)의 경우에 순철골보로서 설계하고도 실제 시공시에는 보 상부 플랜지에 전단스터드를 필요 이상으로 과도하게 배치하는 오랜 관행이 존재하고 있어 내진성능 확보 차원에서 문제를 유발할 소지가 있다. 본 논문에서는 의도하지 않은 또는 과도한 합성작용이 내진성능에 미치는 부작용을 실물대 실험을 통해 재현하고 이의 개선방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 국내 관행에 따른 접합상세와 합성바닥구조를 갖는 실험체(PN700-C)의 경우, 합성도가 23% 정도임에도 불구하고, 상부플랜지 압축응력에 대해 중립축이 현저히 상승하였고 결국 3% 층간변위에서 콘크리트 압괴를 수반하면서 하부플랜지 취성파단이 발생하였다. 반면 합성바닥이 포함되어 있으나 합성작용이 최소화되도록 설계된 RBS접합부실험체(DB700-C)는 순철골(비합성) RBS접합부실험체(DB700-NC)와 유사한 이력거동을 보이면서 어떤 취성파괴도 없이 5% 수준의 뛰어난 층간변형 능력을 발휘하였다. 본 연구결과는 강구조접합부의 내진보강이나 신축에 있어 모멘트골조에 속한 철골보 및 접합부는 바닥구조와의 합성작용이 최소화되도록 설계 및 시공되어야 함을 시사한다.

Post-tensioned (PT) steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with semi-rigid connections (SRC) can be used to control the hysteretic energy demands and to reduce the maximum inter-story drift (${\gamma}$). In this study the seismic behavior of steel MRFs with PT connections is estimated by incremental nonlinear dynamic analysis in terms of dissipated hysteretic energy ($E_H$) demands. For this aim, five PT steel MRFs are subjected to 30 long duration earthquake ground motions recorded on soft soil sites. To assess the energy dissipated in the frames with PT connections, a new expression is proposed for the hysteretic behavior of semi-rigid connections validated by experimental tests. The performance was estimated not only for the global $E_H$ demands in the steel frames; but also for, the distribution and demands of hysteretic energy in beams, columns and connections considering several levels of deformation. The results show that $E_H$ varies with ${\gamma}$, and that most of $E_H$ is dissipated by the connections. It is observed in all the cases a log-normal distribution of $E_H$ through the building height. The largest demand of $E_H$ occurs between 0.25 and 0.5 of the height. Finally, an equation is proposed to calculate the distribution of $E_H$ in terms of the normalized height of the stories (h/H) and the inter-story drift.

There can be a significant amount of moment redistribution in composite frames consisting of steel columns and composite beams, due to cracking, creep and shrinkage of concrete. Considerable amount of computational effort is required for taking into account these effects for large composite frames. A methodology has been presented in this paper for taking into account these effects. In the methodology that has been demonstrated for moderately high frames, neural network models are developed for rapid prediction of the inelastic moments (typically for 20 years, considering instantaneous cracking, and time effects, i.e., creep and shrinkage, in concrete) at a joint in a frame from the elastic moments (neglecting instantaneous cracking and time effects). The proposed models predict the inelastic moment ratios (ratio of elastic moment to inelastic moment) using eleven input parameters for interior joints and seven input parameters for exterior joints. The training and testing data sets are generated using a hybrid procedure developed by the authors. The neural network models have been validated for frames of different number of spans and storeys. The models drastically reduce the computational effort and predict the inelastic moments, with reasonable accuracy for practical purposes, from the elastic moments, that can be obtained from any of the readily available software.

지진하중 하에서 구조물의 강성중심과 질량중심이 차이가 날 경우에 편심이 발생하여 비틀림을 유발한다. ASCE 7-10에서는 이를 비틀림 비정형으로 규정하고 있으며, 비틀림 비정형 구조물의 내진설계를 위한 요구사항들을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 편심이 다른 3층, 9층 철골 모멘트 골조의 3차원 시간이력해석 결과를 기반으로 비틀림 비정형 철골조에 적용되는 내진설계기준의 요구조건에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 편심이 증가할수록 적절히 설계된 구조물의 성능이 우수하며 소성힌지의 분포가 정형 구조물과 유사한 것으로 나타냈다.

노스리지 지진 발생시 구조체 손상이 발생했던 현장용접 모멘트골조와 달리 기둥-보 브라켓형식의 모멘트골조에는 지진의 영향을 조정하고 감소시키는 도구(tool)가 바로 보에 이음부(splice)이다. 지진발생 중에 보의 이음부는 연성의 퓨즈(fuse)로서 작용할 수 있고, 골조에 발생할 수 있는 흼모멘트를 포함한 힘의 크기를 제한할 수 있다. 국내에서는 모멘트 골조의 대부분이 기둥-보 브라켓 형식으로 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 이음하지 않은 H형강보를 제작하여 단순가력 실험을 수행하였고, 고력볼트를 이용하여 전강도설계된 실물실험체와 플랜지볼트 열수를 각각 75%, 50% 및 0%로 줄여서 이음부를 제작한 H형강 보를 단순가력 실험을 수행하였다. 이들 실험을 통해 기둥-보 브라켓형식의 모멘트 골조에서 보의 이음부(Beam Splice)가 악보(Week Beam)의 임계위치(Critical Point)로서 작용할 수 있는 가능성을 타진하고자 하는 연구에 기초자료를 제공하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.

The latest earthquake's costly repairs and economic disruption were brought on by excessive residual drift. Self-centering systems are one of the most efficient ways in the current generation of seismic resistance system to get rid of and reduce residual drift. The mechanics and behavior of the self-centering system in response to seismic forces were impacted by a number of important factors. The amount of post-tensioning (PT) force, which is often employed for the standing posture after an earthquake, is the first important component. The energy dissipater element is another one that has a significant impact on how the self-centering system behaves. Using the damper as a replaceable and affordable tool and fuse in self-centering frames has been recommended to boost energy absorption and dampening of structural systems during earthquakes. In this research, the self-centering steel moment frame connections are equipped with cushion flexural dampers (CFDs) as an energy dissipator system to increase energy absorption, post-yielding stiffness, and ease replacement after an earthquake. Also, it has been carefully considered how to reduce permanent deformations in the self-centering steel moment frames exposed to seismic loads while maintaining adequate stiffness, strength, and ductility. After confirming the FE model's findings with an earlier experimental PT connection, the behavior of the self-centering connection using CFD has been surveyed in this study. The FE modeling takes into account strands preloading as well as geometric and material nonlinearities. In addition to contact and sliding phenomena, gap opening and closing actions are included in the models. According to the findings, self-centering moment-resisting frames (SF-MRF) combined with CFD enhance post-yielding stiffness and energy absorption with the least amount of permeant deformation in a certain CFD thickness. The obtained findings demonstrate that the effective energy dissipation ratio (β), is increased to 0.25% while also lowering the residual drift to less than 0.5%. Also, this enhancement in the self-centering connection with CFD's seismic performance was attained with a respectable moment capacity to beam plastic moment capacity ratio.

The seismic performance and failure modes of the dual system of moment resisting frames and thin steel plate shear walls (TSPSWs) without and with one or two outrigger trusses are studied in this paper. These structural systems were utilized to resist vertical and lateral loads of 40-storey buildings. Detailed Finite element models associated with nonlinear time history analyses were used to examine seismic capacity and plastic mechanism of the buildings. The analyses were performed under increased levels of earthquake intensities. The models with one and two outriggers showed good performance during the maximum considered earthquake (MCE), while the stress of TSPSWs in the model without outrigger reached its ultimate value under this earthquake. The best seismic capacity was in favour of the model with two outriggers, where it is found that increasing the number of outriggers not only gives more reduction in lateral displacement but also reduces stress concentration on thin steel plate shear walls at outrigger floors, which caused the early failure of TSPSWs in model with one outrigger.

Concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns have been widely used in moment resisting frame structures both in seismic zones. This paper discusses the design of such members based on the advanced methods introduced in the 2005 AISC Specification and the 2005 Seismic Provisions. This study focuses particularly on design following both linear and nonlinear methods utilizing equivalent static and dynamic loads for low-rise moment frames. The paper begins with an examination of the significance of pseudo-elastic design interaction equations and the plastic ductility demand ratios due to combined axial compressive force and bending moment in CFT members. Based on advanced computational simulations for a series of five-story composite moment frames, this paper then investigates both building performance and new techniques to evaluate building damage during a strong earthquake. It is shown that 2D equivalent static analyses can provide good design approximations to the force distributions in moment frames subjected to large inelastic lateral loads. Dynamic analyses utilizing strong ground motions generally produce higher strength ratios than those from equivalent static analyses, but on more localized basis. In addition, ductility ratios obtained from the nonlinear dynamic analysis are sufficient to detect which CFT columns undergo significant deformations.

The seismic performance of moment frames could vary according to the rotation capacity of their connections. The minimum rotation capacity of moment connections for steel intermediate moment frames (IMF) was defined as 0.02 radian in AISC 341-10. This study evaluated the seismic performance of IMF frames with connections having a rotation capacity of 0.02 radian. For this purpose, thirty IMFs were designed according to current seismic design provisions considering different design parameters such as the number of stories, span length, and seismic design categories. The procedure specified in FEMA P695 was used for conducting seismic performance evaluation. It was observed that the rotation capacity of 0.02 radian could not guarantee the satisfactory seismic performance of IMFs. This study also conducted seismic performance evaluation for IMFs with connections having the rotation capacity of 3% and ductile connections for proposing the minimum rotation capacity of IMF connections.

Steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) typically have inter-story drift concentrations at lower stories during earthquakes as found from previous research. Hinged walls (HWs) can be used as structural strengthening components to force the MRFs deform uniformly along the building height. However, large moment demands are often observed on HWs and make the design of HWs non-economical. This paper proposes a method to reduce the moment demand on HWs using a ductile connection system between the MRFs and the HWs. The ductile connection system is designed with a yield strength and energy dissipation capacity, for the purpose of limiting the seismic forces transferred to the HWs and dissipating seismic energy. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed using 10 far-filed earthquakes at maximum considered earthquake level. The analysis results show that the proposed ductile connection system can reduce: (1) seismic moment demands in the HWs; (2) floor accelerations; (3) the connection force between HWs and MRFs.
