The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the necessity of considering wind load combinations even for low-rise buildings. It first discusses the overall quasi-static wind load effects and their combinations to be considered in structural design of low-rise buildings. It was found that the maximum torsional moment closely correlates with the maximum along-wind base shear. It was also found that the instantaneous pressure distribution causing the maximum along-wind base shear was quite similar to that causing the maximum torsional moment, and that this asymmetric pressure pattern simultaneously accompanies considerable across-wind and torsional components. Secondly, the actual wind pressure distributions causing maximum quasi-static internal forces in the structural frames are conditionally sampled and their typical pressure patterns are presented.

This thesis is to investigate the sliding behavior of cantilever retaining wall by using the commercially available program of FLAC to simulate its behavior numerically. Cantilever retaining walls with flat base, sloped base and base with shear key, uniform surcharges being applied on the surface of backfill, were investigated to figure out appropriate location of shear key beneath the base of wall and, thus, its applicability to field condition was assessed by comparing the analyzed results to each other. On the other hand, previously performed centrifuge model test results (Eum, 1996) were analyzed numerically with FLAC to compare test results with respect to characteristics of load-settlement of surcharges and load-lateral movement of wall. Based on the failure mechanism observed during centrifuge tests, limit equilibrium method of finding the ultimate load inducing the sliding failure of wall was used to compare with values of the ultimate load obtained from conventional method of limit equilibrium method. Therefore, appropriate location of shear key was determined to mobilize the maximum resistance against sliding failure of wall.

Dynamic equilibrium equations for finite element analysis were derived for the free field one-dimensional shear wave propagation through the horizontally layered soil deposits with the elastic half-space. We expressed Rayleigh's viscous damping consisting of mass and stiffness proportional terms. We considered two cases where damping matrices are defined in the total and relative displacement fields. Two forms of equilibrium equations are presented; one in terms of total motions and the other in terms of relative motions. To evaluate the performance of new equilibrium equations, we conducted two sets of site response analyses and directly compared them with the exact closed-form frequency domain solution. Results show that the base shear force as earthquake load represents the simpler form of equilibrium equation to be used for the finite element method. Conventional finite element procedure using base acceleration as earthquake load predicts exact solution reasonably well even in soil deposits with unrealistically high damping.

Column base connections are critical components in steel structures because they transfer axial forces, shear forces and moments to the foundation. Exposed column bases are quite commonly used in low- to medium-rise buildings. To investigate shear transfer in exposed column base plates, four large scale specimens were subjected to a combination of axial load (compression or tension) and lateral shear deformations. The main parameters examined experimentally include the number of anchor rod, arrangement of anchor rod, type of lateral loading, and axial force ratio. It is observed that the shear resisting mechanism of exposed column base changed as the axial force changed. When the axial force is in compression, the resisting mechanism is rotation type, and the shear force will be resisted by friction force between base plate and mortar layer. The specimens could sustain inelastic deformation with minimal strength deterioration up to column rotation angle of 3%. The moment resistance and energy dissipation will be increased as the number of anchor rods increased. Moreover, moment resistance could be further increased if the anchor rods were arranged in details. When the axial force is in tension, the resisting mechanism is slip type, and the shear force will be resisted by the anchor rods. And the shear resistance was reduced significantly when the axial force was changed from compression to tension. The test results indicated that the current design approach could estimate the moment resistance within reasonable acceptance, but overestimate the shear resistance of exposed column base.

The base shear force and the overturning moment are important factors for the earthquake design of a structure. These should be predicted exactly especially when the nonlinear seismic isolation bearings are used against earthquake motions. Generally these are derived by the acceleration responses of a structure with the he assumed masses. However these can be contaminated by the noise in the measured responses and the uncertainty of assumed masses. This paper presents the results of the derived base shear force and overturning moment compared with the measured results by multi-axis load cells. Also discussions are made on the cross-coupling effects of the multi-axis load cell.

Twelve push-out test specimens were conducted with various parameters to study the static and fatigue performance of a new through-bolt shear connector transferring the shear forces of interface between prefabricated hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) slabs and steel girders. It was found that the fibers could improve the fatigue life, capacity and initial stiffness of through-bolt shear connector. While the bolt-hole clearance reduced, the initial stiffness, capacity and slippage of through-bolt shear connector increased. After the steel-concrete interface properties were improved, the initial stiffness increased, and the capacity and slippage reduced. Base on the test results, the equation of the load-slip curve and capacity of through-bolt shear connector with prefabricated HFRC slab were obtained by the regression of test results, and the allowable range of shear force under fatigue load was recommended, which could provide the reference in the design of through-bolt shear connector with prefabricated HFRC slabs.

TECSolverApp is an application that calculates the total equivalent seismic load (base shear) and shows the design spectra in accordance with the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC). TECSolverApp software can present the spectral acceleration-period graph and the base shear (in terms of unit building weight) in MATLAB and .NET Core frameworks according to TEC 2007 and TEC 2018. In the software, three different building period evaluation options were provided, as entering the period directly, empirical calculation, and using the period calculation formula. In different period calculation scenarios, particular design input parameters such as site-specific spectral acceleration coefficients, local soil class, building importance coefficient, and structural system behavior coefficient are expected. TECSolverApp was produced in two different programming languages and published in MATLAB App Designer and ASP.NET Core MVC environments. To be shared in MATLAB App Designer, it was aimed at availability through the program and distributability as a desktop application. By deploying in ASP.NET Core MVC, open-source cross-platform coding and web-based accessibility were targeted. One of the strongest aspects of TECSolverApp is its developability thanks to software architecture. In this respect, it can be foreseen that other international seismic codes can be added to the calculations in the future.

임의의 층에서 평면적에 큰 차이를 보이는 3차원 비정형 setback 구조물의 지진 거동 특성과 지진 거동 특성에 미치는 바닥 슬래브의 면내 변형 효과를 연구하였다. 비정형 setback 구조물의 전반적인 지진 거동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 베이스 부분의 평면적과 타워 부분의 평면적의 비(R/sub s/)와 단(setback) 발생 위치(L/sub s/)등을 매개 변수로 사용하였다. 48개의 비정형 setback 구조물들에 대한 해석 결과로부터 정형 구조물과 달리 setback 구조물의 경우에 단(setback) 발생 위치 근방에서 매우 급격한 층 전단력의 변화가 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형이 구조물의 지진 거동에 미치는 영향은 횡방향 저항 요소의 배치에 따라 크게 좌우되며 횡방향 저항 요소들간의 강성의 차이가 심하게 나타나는 전단벽-프레임 시스템의 경우에 더욱 두드러지게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형은 구조물이 받게 되는 밑면 전단력을 감소시키며 특히 L/sub s/=0.1인 프레임-전단벽 시스템에서 두드러진다. 또한 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형은 전단벽이 설치된 프레임에 대해서는 층 전단력의 감소 효과를 가져오고 전단벽이 설치되지 않은 프레임에 대해서는 층 전단력의 증가 현상을 가져온다. 또한 횡방향 강성의 차이로 발생한 베이스 부분과 타워 부분에서의 바닥슬래브의 면내 변형으로 인하여 모든 층의 층 변위가 크게 증가됨을 알 수 있다.

일반적으로 도로구조물들은 포화상태라는 가정 하에 설계되고 있으나 실제 도로구조물의 재료인 입상지반재료는 대부분 불포화 상태에 존재하고 있다. 이러한 부분을 반영하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다져진 입상지반재료를 대상으로 삼축압축시험과 함수특성곡선 시험 결과를 활용하여 다양한 조건에서의 불포화 전단강도를 추정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 비선형 모형을 활용한 2차원 유한요소해석을 실시하고 Mohr-Coulomb항복조건을 통하여 항복하중을 규명하였다. 또한, 입상재료의 항복하중에 대한 도로구조물 표층두께의 변화에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. 해석 결과 입상지반재료의 불포화토 이론을 고려하여 포장 혹은 비포장 도로의 지지력을 예측할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
