The influence of masonry infills with eccentric openings on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (r/c) frames that were designed in accordance with current code provisions are investigated. Eight 1/3-scale, single-story, single-bay frame specimens were tested under cyclic horizontal loading up to a drift level of 4%. In all examined cases the shear strength of columns was higher than the cracking shear strength of solid infill. The parameters investigated include the shape and the location of the opening. Assessment of the behavior of the frames is also attempted, based on the observed failure modes, strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity and degradation from cycling loading. Based on these results there can be deduced that masonry infills with eccentrically located openings has been proven to be beneficial to the seismic capacity of the bare r/c frames in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. The location of the opening must be as near to the edge of the infill as possible in order to provide an improvement in the performance of the infilled frame.

Four Reinforced Concrete (RC) single span structural walls having various opening sizes and locations were constructed and tested under lateral reversed cyclic loading at the structural laboratory of Kyoto University. These specimens were scaled to 40% and represented the lower three stories of a six-storied RC building. The main purposes of the experimental tests were to evaluate the shear behavior and to identify the influence of opening ratios on the cracks distribution and shear strength of RC structural walls. The shear strength of the specimens was estimated by combining the shear strength of structural wall without openings and the reduction factor that takes into account the openings. Experimental and analytical results showed that the shear strength was different depending on the loading direction due to opening locations. A two-dimensional finite element analysis was carried out to simulate the performance of the tested specimens. The constructed finite elements model simulated the lateral load-drift angle relations quite well.

유공합성보는 공기조화설비등의 각종 배관으로 인한 용적률의 저하를 완화할 수 있고, 바람과 같은 수평력에 의한 층모멘트 감소등의 구조적 측면에서도 유용하다. 또한 휨강성도 증가되어 하중에 의한 처짐이 적어지고 진동하중이나 충격하중에도 유리하게 되어 건축물의 강성 및 내력을 높이기 위해 사용되고 있다. 그러나 개구부 위치 및 편심여부에 따라 외력에 대한 구조적인 거동이 달라지게 되므로 이에 대한 적절한 검토가 요구된다. 이에 본 논문은 편심유공합성보의 종국내력 및 변형능력에 관한 실험적 연구로서, 무공합성보인 기준시험체와 중심 및 상 하 편심유공합성보 시험체의 실험 및 이론적 고찰을 통하여 각 시험체들의 항복 및 최대내력, 휨 및 전단강성, 개구부주위의 응력분포, 그리고 모멘트-전단력 상관관계등의 구조적 특성을 규명코자 한다.

지진력과 같은 반복 하중 재하시 유공보 부재의 거동과 응력분포, 국부좌굴 발생시점과 내력에 미치는 영향, 크랙 발생 시점과 지점 등에 관해 살펴보았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비탄성 부재의 거동과 소성힌지 거동 국부좌굴 후 거동에 대한 실험적 정보를 얻고 반복하중을 받는 유공보의 소성영역에서의 설계지침 및 기준마련을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 반복 하중하의 유공보 거동에 개구형상비, 개구부 편심, 보강재 유무 등을 주요 변수로 하여 AISC의 유공보 기준으로 마련된 다윈에 의해 제안된 식을 바탕으로 결정하였으며 12개의 실험체 실험을 통해 정량적 평가 분석을 하였다. 반복재하에 의한 이력곡선을 작성하고 부재 변위와 초기 강도 및 강도 저하율을 비교함으로써 Darwin에 의해 제시된 유공보 설계방식의 타당성을 검토하였다. 또한 소성범위에서의 국부좌굴 발생시점을 기준으로, 유공부에서의 가장 위험한 부위를 결정하고 그의 보강규준을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 개구부의 개구형상비가 증가할수록 최대내력은 작아지며, 항복하중과 최초 국부좌굴 발생시점도 빠르게 발생하였다. 부재가 가지는 연성 및 휨 전단내력도 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 편심율이 커짐에 따라 최대내력은 증가율은 크게 나타나지는 않지만 연성에 있어서는 증가를 나타났다. 전체적인 부재의 휨 전단내력은 큰 변화가 없었다. 개구부 주변 수평 보강재 설치시, 최대내력 및 연성, 휨 전단내력에 있어 전체적인 상승을 보였다.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are classified as lateral load-resisting systems. The feasibility of openings in the steel plate is a characteristic of SPSWs. The use of openings in SPSWs can lower the load capacity, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This study proposes a novel form of SPSWs that provides convenient access through openings by combining steel plates and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The proposed system also avoids a substantial reduction in the strength and stiffness. Hence, various geometric forms were analyzed through two different structural approaches. Groups 1, 2, and 3 included a steel EBF with a steel plate between the column and EBF in order to improve system performance. In Group 4, the proposed system was evaluated within an SPSW with openings and an EBF on the opening edge. To evaluate the performance of the proposed systems, the nonlinear finite element method (NL-FEM) was employed under cyclic loading. The hysteresis (load-drift) curve, stress contour, stiffness, and damping were evaluated as the structural outputs. The numerical models indicated that local buckling within the middle plate-EBF connection prevented a diagonal tension field. Moreover, in group 4, the EBF and stiffeners on the opening edge enhanced the structural response by approximately 7.5% in comparison with the base SPSW system.

The buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBF-Es) exhibit stable cyclic behavior and possess a high energy absorption capacity. Additionally, they offer architectural advantages for incorporating openings, much like Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs). However, studies have indicated that significant residual drifts occur in this system when subjected to earthquakes at the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) hazard level. Consequently, in order to mitigate these residual drifts, it is recommended to employ self-centering systems alongside the BRBF-E system. In our current research, we propose the utilization of the Direct Displacement-Based Seismic Design method to determine the design base shear for a hybrid system that combines BRBF with an eccentric configuration and a self-centering frame. Furthermore, we present a methodology for designing the individual components of this composite system. To assess the effectiveness of this design approach, we designed 3-, 6-, and 9-story buildings equipped with the BRBF-E-SCF system and developed finite element models. These models were subjected to two sets of ground motions representing the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) and Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) seismic hazard levels. The results of our study reveal that although the combined system requires a higher amount of steel material compared to the BRBF-E system, it substantially reduces residual drift. Furthermore, the combined system demonstrates satisfactory performance in terms of story drift and ductility demand.

The buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBFECs) are stable cyclic behavior and high energy absorption capacity. Furthermore, they have an architectural advantage for creating openings like eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). In the present study, it has been suggested to use the performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method to calculate the design base shear of the BRBFEC systems. Moreover, in this study, to reduce the required steel material, it has been suggested to use the performance-based practical design (PBPD) method instead of the force-based design (FBD) method for the design of this system. The 3-, 6-, and 9-story buildings with the BRBFEC system were designed, and the finite element models were modeled. The seismic performance of the models was investigated using two suits of ground motions representing the maximum considered earthquake (MCE) and design basis earthquake (DBE) seismic hazard levels. The results showed that the models designed with the suggested method, which had lower weights compared to those designed with the FBD method, had a desirable seismic performance in terms of maximum story drift and ductility demand under earthquakes at both MCE and DBE seismic hazard levels. This suggests that the steel weights of the structures designed with the PBPD method are about 13% to 18% lesser than the FBD method. However, the residual drifts in these models were higher than those in the models designed with the FBD method. Also, in earthquakes at the DBE hazard level, the residual drifts in all models except the PBPD-6s and PBPD-9s models were less than the allowable reparability limit.

공조시스템을 구성하는 핵심 부품들의 설계 방향은 효율 향상 및 고생산성 측면을 둘 다 고려하는 것이다. 이러한 핵심부품 중의 하나인 팽창장치는 증발 부하, 압축 용량 및 응축 능력에 따라 냉매의 유량을 조절한다. 본 연구에서는 자동차용 공조시스템을 대상으로 하여 현 냉매인 R134a와 더불어 향후 대체냉매의 하나인 고압 $CO_2$의 사용이 가능한 겸용 전자팽창밸브가 개발되었다. 이 전자팽창밸브는 저 비용 및 고 생산성을 위해 기존 방식과는 달리 편심형 캠구동 방식이 채택되었다. 고안된 설계안을 바탕으로 수치해석을 이용하여 고압 조건에서의 내압성능과 밸브 개도에 따른 유량성능을 각각 평가하였다. 최대작동 압력 조건에서 98MPa의 최대응력을 보이며 탄성영역 이내의 변형을 나타내었다. 파괴압력 조건에서는 233 MPa의 최대응력을 보여 소성변형이 일어나지만 파괴가 일어나지 않는 것으로 예측되었다. 밸브 개도에 따라 유량이 증가하며, $CO_2$ 냉매와 R134a 냉매 적용시 각각 550 kg/h, 386 kg/h의 최대 유량을 나타내었다. 또한 R134a에 대한 내압 및 유량성능실험은 해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.
