The pounding phenomenon in adjacent structures happens in severing earthquakes that can cause great damages. Connecting neighboring structures with active and semi-active control devices is an effective method to avoid mutual colliding between neighboring buildings. One of the most important issues in control systems is applying online control force. There will be a time delay if the prose of producing control force does not perform on time. This paper proposed a time-delay compensation method in coupled structures control, with semi-active Magnetorheological (MR) damper. This method based on Newmark's integration is adopted to mitigate the time-delay effect. In this study, Lyapunov's direct approach is employed to compute demanded voltage for MR dampers. Using Lyapunov's direct algorithm guarantees the system stability to design a controller based on feedback. Because of the strong nonlinearity of MR dampers, the equation of motion of coupled structures becomes an involved equation, and it is impossible to solve it with the common time step methods. In present paper modified Newmark-Beta integration based on the instantaneous optimal control algorithm, used to solve the involved equation. In this method, the response of a coupled system estimated base on optimal control force. Two MDOF structures with different degrees of freedom are finally considered as a numeric example. The numerical results show, the Newmark compensation is an efficient method to decrease the negative effect of time delay in coupled systems; furthermore, instantaneous optimal control algorithm can estimate the response of structures suitable.

This paper describes the vibration control using a tuned mass damper(TMD) for the existing footbridge. The footbridge connecting driveway to the Stadium is the simple steel box-girder bridge with the main span length of 44.6m. This footbridge has light weight(=25.3kN/m) and pedestrians walking on the footbridge were found to induce resonance at the fundamental mode of the structure, resulting in unacceptable accelerations in it. Taking into account economical and constructional benefits, TMD was designed to damp the vibrations of the modes next to the natural frequency caused by a pedestrian, with a limitation criteria of vertical amplitude. A set of two 500kgf vertical TMDs was manufactured by KR and installed into the railings next to the central section of this footbridge. The installation of TMDs reduced the peak acceleration in the meeting box to less than 90%. It is hoped that the study will present bridge engineers with a measure of retrofitting footbridges to make them more friendly to users.

This study deals with the optimal design of a hybrid control system composed of a combination of active control system and passive control system for effective seismic performance improvement of two adjacent structures. The proposed hybrid control system adopts a configuration of installing an active control device in one building and connecting two adjacent structures with a passive control device so that the one-side active control force can be bi-directionally applied to both buildings through the passive connecting devices. In order to derive the optimal performance of the proposed system, the design parameters of the passive and active control systems were searched using the genetic algorithm. Numerical simulations of 10-story and 8-story buildings have been performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique. For the purpose of comparison, the conventional independent control system with two identical active control systems being installed separately for each structure was also optimally designed and its seismic response has been evaluated as well. From the comparative results of the two control systems, it is demonstrated that the proposed hybrid control system requires larger control force for its one-side active control device than the conventional independent control system does for each of both-side active devices, but quite less than the total control force required for both-side devices of the independent control system, while maintaining similar seismic performance. Therefore, the proposed system is more economical and reliable than the conventional independent control system with two identical active devices.

To date the engineering community has seen facade systems as non-structural elements with high aesthetic value and a barrier between the outdoor and indoor environments. The role of facades in energy use in a building has also been recognized and the industry is also witnessing the emergence of many energy efficient facade systems. This paper will focus on using exterior skin of the double skin facade system as a dissipative movable element during earthquake excitation. The main aim of this study is to investigate the potential of the facade system to act as a damper system to reduce earthquake-induced vibration of the primary structure. Unlike traditional mass dampers, which are usually placed at the top level of structures, the movable/smart double skin facade systems are distributed throughout the entire height of building structures. The outer skin is moveable and can act as a multi tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) that move and dissipate energy during strong earthquake motions. In this paper, using a three dimensional 10-storey building structure as the example, it is shown that with optimal choice of materials for stiffness and damping of brackets connecting the two skins, a substantial portion of earthquake induced vibration energy can be dissipated which leads to avoiding expensive ductile seismic designs. It is shown that the engineering demand parameters (EDPs) for a low-rise building structures subjected to moderate to severe earthquakes can be substantially reduced by introduction of a smart designed double skin system.

One of the biggest problems in smoke control systems for high-rise buildings is stack effect, but there are no recognized methods or measures to solve the problem of stack effect as yet. The stack effect can be overcome by forming the uprising current inside the stair hall properly, but there is a limit to the height in supplying into the stair hall the smoke control air volume to be supplied to a floor in case of escape from fire. The limit to the height can be extended by over-coming the stack effect by pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. It can also be anticipated that the stack effect can be overcome by connecting the air supply shaft to the stair hall at the top. As a result of computer simulations using a network type of tool, it is found that adequate performance can be achieved by pressurizing the stair hall only for a building of 190m or less, and up to 360m when pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. In all those cases, however, an overpressure venting damper is required which operates within a suitable range for venting the overpressure outside.

최근 들어 우리나라에서도 설치와 유지관리가 용이하며 경제성이 뛰어난 강재이력형 감쇠장치를 적용하여 내진성능을 확보하고자 하는 건물들이 다수 건설되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 강재이력형 감쇠장치가 철근콘크리트 건물에 적용되는 경우 감쇠장치를 설치하기 위한 연결구조물은 전체적인 시스템을 복잡하게 만들어 감쇠장치의 신뢰도를 저하시키는 요소가 되기도 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존연구에서 개발된 카고메 감쇠장치를 대상으로 별도의 연결구조 없이 철근콘크리트 지지구조물에 감쇠장치를 직접 매립할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 하며, 매립길이에 따른 내진거동을 확인하여 동 시스템의 정립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 실험결과, $1.0l_d$ 매립길이 실험체의 경우 카고메 감쇠장치 매립부분에서 콘 파괴와 유사한 형태의 뽑힘이 발생하였다. 반면, $2.0l_d$ 매립길이를 확보한 실험체는 실험 종료 시까지 뽑힘 및 콘 파괴 없이 안정적인 이력거동을 나타내었고 $1.0l_d$ 매립길이 대비 $2.0l_d$ 매립길이가 약 1.3배의 향상된 에너지소산능력을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 시스템을 적용할 경우, 기존 설치방법 변경에 따른 기타 철물 제작 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 시공 시에도 부수적인 철물 시공을 줄여 공기를 단축할 수 있다.

최근 지진의 빈도가 증가하면서 전력 시설물에 대한 피해 역시 심각한 상황이다. 요즘 들어 Hanger, Brace, Snubber와 같이 주요기기들을 연결하는 배관지지 시스템의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 배관의 손상은 발전소 가동에 전체적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 손상을 주는 요인으로부터 보호할지지 장치가 필요하게 된다. 이러한 장치들은 배관에 작용하는 직 간접적인 진동과 충격을 저감시키는 역할을 하기 때문에 배관의 손상을 방지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 마찰진자 원리를 이용한 기계식 댐퍼를 개발하고 특성시험을 통해 장치 성능을 검증한 내용을 기술하였다. 또한 자체 개발한 설계 프로그램을 통해 예상된 해석값과 시험값을 비교분석하였고 결과적으로 설계의 신뢰성을 향상시켰다.

In this study, shaking table test has been carried out for the dual frame passive control system for seismic performance verification of the proposed system. The proposed system was separated into two independent frameworks that are strength resistant core and frame structure by connecting to the damper. Moreover, the seismic performance improvement of the proposed system has been verified by comparing and analyzing the experimental results of the proposed system with an existing core system. As a result of the shaking table test, acceleration and displacement responses of dual-frame vibration control system are decreased than those of the existing strength resistant type core system. In the case of the core system, while the damage was concentrated on the column of first floor, the damage of the dual system was dispersed in each layer. The damage also was concentrated on the damper, almost no damage occurs to the structural members. It has been emphasized that installed dampers in the proposed dual system reduce the input energy of whole structure by absorbing seismic input energy, which leads overall system damage to be reduced.

본 논문은 철근 콘크리트(RC) 격자보위에 설치된 access floor 에 발생하는 진동 중 수평방향 진동을 제어하기 위해 정밀 스프링 댐퍼를 이용한 실험을 이용한 실험을 통하여 수평진동 방진 시스템을 개발하였고, 대상 구조물의 진동해석을 위한 모델링과 그에 따른 해석을 수행하였다. 설계된 스프링 댐버 시스템의 방진효과를 알아보기 위하여 모형구조물에 댐퍼를 설치하지 않은 경우, 설피시 댐버를 pedestal과 pedestal에 연결하여 설치한 경우 그리고 pedestal과 격자보에 연결하여 설치한 경우로 나누어 실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 경우에 대해 충격 가진 및 외부 진동을 가해 슬래브와 access floor에서의 가속도 응답을 측정하였다. 실험결과 댐퍼를 설치한 경우에 공진 응답은 댐퍼가 없는 경우에 비해 응답크기가 감소하고, 공진 최대치도 부분적으로 저진동수 대역으로 이동하는 경향으로 나타났다. 또한 저진동수 대역에서 보다는 고진동수 대역에서 가속도 성분의 감소가 크게 나타나고 있고, 특히 외부 진동에 대해서는 상당한 효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 대상 구조물의 진동해석을 유한요소법에 의해 실시 하였으며 해석을 통해서도 스프링 댐퍼 시스템의 방진효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 실험과 해석의 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 정밀 방.제진 시스템 및 미진동 제어 콘크리트 구조물 설계를 위해 유용하게 이용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.
