Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame under earthquake loading is performed in this paper on the basis of a hysteretic moment-curvature relation. Unlike previous analytical moment-curvature relations which take into account the flexural deformation only with the perfect-bond assumption, by introducing an equivalent flexural stiffness, the proposed relation considers the rigid-body-motion due to anchorage slip at the fixed end, which accounts for more than 50% of the total deformation. The advantage of the proposed relation, compared with both the layered section approach and the multi-component model, may be the ease of its application to a complex structure composed of many elements and on the reduction in calculation time and memory space. Describing the structural response more exactly becomes possible through the use of curved unloading and reloading branches inferred from the stress-strain relation of steel and consideration of the pinching effect caused by axial force. Finally, the applicability of the proposed model to the nonlinear dynamic analysis of RC structures is established through correlation studies between analytical and experimental results.

본 연구에서는 기존 SM490강재와 국내에서 최근 개발된 내진용강재(SHN490, SN490)로 이루어진 특수모멘트골조의 기둥이음부를 부분용입용접으로 설계하여 내진성능평가를 위한 실물대 실험을 실시하였다. 부분용입용접에 의한 기둥이음부는 용접비용 및 공기의 절감에서 매력적 인 방안이다. 그러나 과거에 외국에서 수행된 몇몇 실험결과에 의하면 부분용입용접에 의한 후판기둥의 이음부는 인장응력에 대해 취성파단하는 거동을 보였다. 이런 이유로 인해 최근의 내진설계기준에서는 특수모멘트골조의 부분용입용접 기둥이음부의 강도는 예상 기둥소성모멘트 이상의 강도를 요구한다. 이를 반영하여 시험체의 부분용입용접 이음부의 설계강도는 AISC-LRFD의 기준식을 적용하여 기둥의 예상 소성모멘트 이상이 되도록 설계 및 제작하고 3등분점 하중으로 단조가력하였다. 압연형강 시험체 2개 및 조립형강 시험체 2개(총 4개 시험체)의 이음부 모두에서 기둥의 실제 소성모멘트 이상의 강도를 발휘하였다. 즉 AISC-LRFD의 부분용입용접 설계강도식의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 SM490 압연형강 시험체는 기둥의 소성모멘트를 발휘한 후 이음부에서 급격한 취성파단이 발생하였다. 이는 용접결함과 플랜지의 강도미달에 따른 복합적 원인에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 특히 SM490 강재의 경우는 항복강도와 인장강도가 규정치에 미달하는 등 성능편차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 제한적 실험결과이긴 하지만 소재물성 및 이음부 거동의 측면 모두에서 내진용 신강재가 기존강재에 비해 전체적으로 우수함을 보여준 결과라 할 수 있다.

The linear and nonlinear seismic responses of steel buildings with perimeter moment resisting frames and welded connections (WC) are estimated and compared with those of buildings with post-tensioned connections (PC). Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structural representations of the buildings as well as global and local response parameters are considered. The seismic responses and structural damage of steel buildings with PC may be significantly smaller than those of the buildings with typical WC. The reasons for this are that the PC buildings dissipate more hysteretic energy and attract smaller inertia forces. The response reduction is larger for global than for local response parameters. The reduction may significantly vary from one structural representation to another. One of the main reasons for this is that the energy dissipation characteristics are quite different for the 2D and 3D models. In addition, in the case of the 3D models, the contribution of each horizontal component to the axial load on an specific column may be in phase each other during some intervals of time, but for some others they may be out of phase. It is not possible to observe this effect on the 2D structural formulation. The implication of this is that 3D structural representation should be used while estimating the effect of the PC on the structural response. Thus, steel frames with post-tensioned bolted connections are a viable option in high seismicity areas due to the fact that brittle failure is prevented and also because of their reduced response and self-centering capacity.

This study develops a new hybrid passive energy dissipation device for seismic rehabilitation of an existing structure. The device is composed of a friction damper combined with a steel plate with vertical slits as a hysteretic damper. Analytical model is developed for the device, and the capacity of the hybrid device to satisfy a given target performance is determined based on the ASCE/SEI 7-10 process. The effect of the device is verified by nonlinear dynamic analyses using seven earthquake records. The analysis results show that the dissipated inelastic energy is concentrated on the hybrid damper and the maximum interstory drift of the SMRF with damping system satisfies the requirement of the current code.

Application of reduced web beam section (RWBS) as a sacrificial fuse element has become a popular research field in recent years. Weakening of beam web in these connections may cause local web buckling around the opening area which can affect cyclic behavior of connection including: maximum load carrying capacity, strength degradation rate, dissipated energy, rotation capacity, etc. In this research, effect of local web buckling on the cyclic behavior of RWBS connections is investigated using finite element modeling (FEM). For this purpose, a T-shaped moment connection which has been tested under cyclic loading by another author is used as the reference model. Fracture initiation in models is simulated using Cyclic Void Growth Model (CVGM) which is based on micro-void growth and coalescence. Included in the results are: effect of opening corner radii, opening dimensions, beam web thickness and opening reinforcement. Based on the results, local web buckling around the opening area plays a significant role on the cyclic behavior of connection and hence any parameter affecting the local web buckling will affect entire connection behavior.

Previous experimental studies have effectively demonstrated the remarkable efficiency of the stiffened channel link in connecting circular columns and I-shaped beams. This research aims to present design criteria and assess the seismic properties of this specific connection type through numerical modeling. Various parameters, including stiffener type and geometric properties of the stiffened channel element, were duly taken into account. The findings from over 136 nonlinear finite element analyses (FEAs) reveal that the recommended detailing scheme reliably satisfies all the regulations specified for rigid beam-to-column connections in special moment frames.

This study describes the development of innovative connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and super-elastic shape memory alloy components. The intent is to combine the recentering behavior provided by the shape memory alloys to reduce building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake with the excellent energy dissipation of the low-carbon steel. The analysis and design of structures requires that simple yet accurate models for the connection behavior be developed. The development of a simplified 2D spring connection model for cyclic loads from advanced 3D FE monotonic studies is described. The implementation of those models into non-linear frame analyses indicates hat the recentering systems will provide substantial benefits for smaller earthquakes and superior performance to all-welded moment frames for large earthquakes.

This paper presents seismic performance and reliability evaluation on steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems composed of steel moment resisting frames and infill light frame wood shear walls. Based on experimental observations, damage assessment was conducted to determine the appropriate damage-related performance objectives for the hybrid shear wall systems. Incremental time-history dynamic analyses were conducted to establish a database of seismic responses for the hybrid systems with various structural configurations. The associated reliability indices and failure probabilities were calculated by two reliability methods (i.e., fragility analysis and response surface method). Both methods yielded similar estimations of failure probabilities. This study indicated the greatly improved seismic performance of the steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems with stronger infill wood shear walls. From a probabilistic perspective, the presented results give some insights on quantifying the seismic performance of the hybrid system under different seismic hazard levels. The reliability-based approaches also serve as efficient tools to assess the performance-based seismic design methodology and calibration of relative code provisions for the proposed steel-timber hybrid shear wall systems.

본 연구는 철골모멘트골조를 대상으로 변형률 기반 횡응답 예측 기법 제시한다. 기둥의 변형률 데이터를 이용하여 건물레벨의 횡응답을 예측한다. 변형률 데이터는 한 개의 기둥 당 총 4개의 변형률 센서가 설치된다고 가정하여 기둥의 양 단부의 변형률 응답 값을 이용한다. 양단부의 변형률 값을 통해 단부의 휨모멘트를 계산하고 이를 처짐각법에 적용하면 건물레벨의 횡응답을 예측할 수 있다. 또한 한 개층에 설치된 가속도계의 응답을 이용하여 지점에 위치한 회전스프링의 강성값을 예측하였다. 제시한 기법은 5층 1경간 철골모멘트골조 예제에 적용하여 그것의 신뢰성를 검증하였다. 횡변위 및 횡가속도에 대한 예측 응답이 비교값과 일치하는 결과를 얻었으며, 손상 여부 및 위치를 파악하는데 효과적임을 확인하였다. 반면 고유주기와 같은 동특성은 구조물의 손상을 파악하는데 한계가 있음을 확인하였다.
