This paper introduces the acceptance criteria for reinforced concrete moment frames based on structural testing of ACI in preparing and proposes criteria for acceptable limiting drift and energy dissipation ratios of reinforced concrete shear walls for structural testing. Limiting drift and energy dissipation ratios were examined for tests on shear walls having ductile type failures. Test data were analyzed and compared to results for a suggested acceptance criteria that involves a limiting drift that is a function of aspect ratio a limiting energy dissipation ratio that is a function of displacement ductility and damping.

현재 미국에서는 강한 지진지역에서의 골조구조에 대한 새로운 실험규정이 만들어지고 있으며, 이의 목적은 비교적 신뢰성이 높은 실험결과를 얻고 이들 실험결과를 다른 연구자들이 서로 이용 가능하도록 하는 것이다. 이 실험규정에서는 실험방법 뿐만 아니라, 실험후의 분석방법 특히, 실험체가 최소한 보유하여야 할 층위변각, 에너지 소산성능, 강성, 강도 등이 규정되어 있다. 이러한 지침이 설정됨으로 인하여, 여태까지 주관적으로 평가된 시험결과의 분석들이 비교적 객관적으로 평가될 수 있게 될 것으로 보여진다. 전단벽 구조 역시 지진저항에 매우 효과적인 시스템으로서, 이러한 실험지침이 필요하다. 그러나 전단벽 구조의 주 부재인 전단벽은 횡력에 의해서 발생하는 구조물의 횡변위를 억제시키고, 강성과강도를 증가시키는 역할을 하기 때문에 그 거동 특성이 골조주조와는 다소 다르다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 전단벽의 층변위와 에너지 소산성능에대하여 연구를 하고 구조실험시 요구된느 적정 값들을 제시하고자 하였다. 구조실험시(반복하중실험), 높은 지진지역의 전단벽 구조가 보유해야할 최소변형능력(횡변위)을 구하기 위해 기존 연구자들에 의해 실험된일련의실험자료들을 분석할 뿐만 아니라 전단벽을 켄틸레버로 이상화하여 층변위를 형상비, 변위 연성비로 관계로 나타내고, 현재 각 국가의 내진설계 규정에서 정하고 있는 건물의 층변위각을 고려하여 전단벽의 최소 층변위를 제시하였다. 또한 미국의 NEHRP 규준에서 규정하고 있는 소산에너지와 감쇠의 관계를 이용하고, 변위 연성비를 도입하여 구조실험시 요구되는 전단벽의 최소 소산에너지값을 제시하였다.

This paper presents an integrated wind-induced dynamic analysis and computer-based design optimization technique for minimizing the structural cost of general tall buildings subject to static and dynamic serviceability design criteria. Once the wind-induced dynamic response of a tall building structure is accurately determined and the optimal serviceability design problem is explicitly formulated, a rigorously derived Optimality Criteria (OC) method is to be developed to achieve the optimal distribution of element stiffness of the structural system satisfying the wind-induced drift and acceleration design constraints. The effectiveness and practicality of the optimal design technique are illustrated by a full-scale 60-story building with complex 3D mode shapes. Both peak resultant acceleration criteria and frequency dependent modal acceleration criteria are considered and their influences on the optimization results are highlighted. Results have shown that the use of various acceleration criteria has different implications in the habitability evaluations and subsequently different optimal design solutions. The computer based optimization technique provides a powerful tool for the lateral drift and occupant comfort design of tall building structures.

Elevated water tanks are inverted pendulum type structures where drift limit is an important criterion for seismic design and performance evaluation. Explicit drift criteria for elevated water tanks are not available in the literature. In this study, probabilistic approach is used to determine maximum drift limit for damage state of yielding and damage state of collapse for the elevated water tanks supported on RC frame staging. The two damage states are defined using results of incremental dynamic analysis wherein a total of 2160 nonlinear time history analyses are performed using twelve artificial spectrum compatible ground motions. Analytical fragility curves are developed using two-parameter lognormal distribution. The maximum allowable drifts corresponding to yield and collapse level requirements are estimated for different tank capacities. Finally, a single fragility curve is developed which provides maximum drift values for the different probability of damage. Further, for rational consideration of the uncertainties in design, three confidence levels are selected and corresponding drift limits for damage states of yielding and collapse are proposed. These values of maximum drift can be used in performance-based seismic design for a particular damage state depending on the level of confidence.

This study presents a discrete optimization of tall steel buildings under multiple drift constraints using a dual method. Dual method can replace the primary optimization problem with a sequence of approximate explicit subproblems. Since each subproblem is convex and separable, it can be efficiently solved by using a dual formulation. Specifically, this study considers the discrete-optimization problem due to the commercial standard steel sections to select member sizes. The results by the proposed method will be compared with those of the conventional optimality criteria method

Narrow rectangular channels are employed in nuclear research reactors that use plate-type nuclear fuels, high heat-flux compact heat exchangers, and high-performance micro-electronics cooling systems. Two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels is important, and it needs to be better understood because it is considerably different than that in round tubes. In this study, mechanistic models were developed for the flow regime transition criteria for various flow regimes in co-current air-water two-phase flow for vertical downward flow inside a narrow rectangular channel. The newly developed criteria were compared to a flow regime map of downward air-water two-phase flow inside a narrow rectangular channel with a 2.35-mm gap width under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Overall, the proposed model showed good agreement with the experimental data.

As the slenderness ratio of a high-rise building increases, the lateral load resisting system for the building is more often determined by serviceability design criteria. In serviceability design, the maximum drift and the level of vibration are controlled not to exceed the design criteria. Even though many drift method have been developed in various forms, no practical design method for wind induced vibration has been developed so far. Structural engineers rely upon heuristic or experience in designing wind induced vibration. Development of practical design method for wind induced vibration is required. Generally, wind induced acceleration responses are depending on several variables such as the weight density of a building, damping ratio, the natural period, and etc.. All parameters except the natural period or frequency are usually out of reach for structural engineers, then the wind acceleration response may be proportioned to the natural period. Therefore, in this paper, a wind induced vibration design method based on frequency control technique for high-rise is proposed. The method is applied to vibration design of a 25-story office building for performance evaluation.

A parametric study was conducted to investigate the seismic deformation demands in terms of drift ratio, plastic base rotation and compression strain on rectangular wall members in frame-wall systems. The wall index defined as ratio of total wall area to the floor plan area was kept as variable in frame-wall models and its relation with the seismic demand at the base of the wall was investigated. The wall indexes of analyzed models are in the range of 0.2-2%. 4, 8 and 12-story frame-wall models were created. The seismic behavior of frame-wall models were calculated using nonlinear time-history analysis and design spectrum matched ground motion set. Analyses results revealed that the increased wall index led to significant reduction in the top and inter-story displacement demands especially for 4-story models. The calculated average inter-story drift decreased from 1.5% to 0.5% for 4-story models. The average drift ratio in 8- and 12-story models has changed from approximately 1.5% to 0.75%. As the wall index increases, the dispersion in the calculated drifts due to ground motion variability decreased considerably. This is mainly due to increase in the lateral stiffness of models that leads their fundamental period of vibration to fall into zone of the response spectra that has smaller dispersion for scaled ground motion data set. When walls were assessed according to plastic rotation limits defined in ASCE/SEI 41, it was seen that the walls in frame-wall systems with low wall index in the range of 0.2-0.6% could seldom survive the design earthquake without major damage. Concrete compressive strains calculated in all frame-wall structures were much higher than the limit allowed for design, ${\varepsilon}_c$=0.0035, so confinement is required at the boundaries. For rectangular walls above the wall index value of 1.0% nearly all walls assure at least life safety (LS) performance criteria. It is proposed that in the design of dual systems where frames and walls are connected by link and transverse beams, the minimum value of wall index should be greater than 0.6%, in order to prevent excessive damage to wall members.

최근 전통적인 구조 최적화 알고리즘의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 부재 변위기여도를 이용뼈 부재 사이즈를 조절함으로써 건물의 변위을 만족시키는 재분배기법이 실용적인 고층 건물 변위설계법으로 인식되고 있다. 재분배 기법을 이용한 변위 설계법은 변위에 효과적인 부재는 물량은 증가시키고, 변위제어에 효과적이지 못한 부재의 물량은 감소시키는 방법으로 변위를 제어한다. 기존 연구에서 재분배 기법은 동적 변위기여도에 근거하여 지진하중을 받는 철골 구조물의 변위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었다 기존의 연구에서 재분배 기법은 정하중과 지진하중을 받는 고층 건물의 변위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었으나, 재분배 기법으로 설계된 구조물의 비선형 성능에 대한 평가는 이루어 지지 못했다. 본 연구에서는 변위 제어 뿐 만 아니라 비선형 특성을 함께 개선할 수 있는 재분배 기법을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로서, 재분배 기법의 비선형 특성 평가 모델을 개발하고, 이를 구조 시스템 중에서 가장 단순한 형태인 철골 모멘트 저항 골조 예제에 적용히여 철골 모멘트 저항 골조에 대한 재분배 기법의 비선형 특성을 평가하였다.

The performance of a newly generated steel connection known as SidePlateTM moment connection for seismic loading and progressive collapse phenomenon has been investigated in this paper. The seismic evaluation portion of the study included a thorough study on of interstory drift angles and flexural strengths based on 2010 AISC Seismic Provisions while the acceptance criteria provided in UFC 4-023-03 guideline to resist progressive collapse must be satisfied by the rotational capacity of the connections. The results showed that the SidePlate moment connection was capable of attaining adequate rotational capacity and developing full inelastic capacity of the connecting beam. Moreover, the proposed connection demonstrated an exceptional performance for keeping away the plastic hinges from the connection and exceeding interstory drift angle of 0.06 rad with no fracture developments in beam flange groove-welded joints. The test results indicated that this type of connection had strength, stiffness and ductility to be categorized as a rigid, full-strength and ductile connection.
