In this study, inelastic displacement ratios and ductility demands are investigated for SDOF systems with period range of 0.1-3.0 s. with elastoplastic behavior considering soil structure interaction. Earthquake motions recorded on different site conditions such as rock, stiff soil, soft soil and very soft soil are used in analyses. Soil structure interacting systems are modeled with effective period, effective damping and effective ductility values differing from fixed-base case. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark method for step by step time integration was adapted in an in-house computer program. Results are compared with those calculated for fixed-base case. A new equation is proposed for inelastic displacement ratio of interacting system ($\tilde{C}_R$) as a function of structural period of interacting system ($\tilde{T}$), strength reduction factor (R) and period lengthening ratio ($\tilde{T}/T$). The proposed equation for $\tilde{C}_R$ which takes the soil-structure interaction into account should be useful in estimating the inelastic deformation of existing structures with known lateral strength.

It has been recognized that the compressibility of hydraulic fluid, which is characterized by the value of its bulk modulus, heavily affects on the system behavior and performance. In practice, the value of the oil bulk modulus varies by the operational and structural characteristics of the hydraulic system. This study presents the theoretical derivation of the effective bulk modulus and describes an experimental impulse technique that allows accurate measurement of oil effective bulk modulus with pressure variation in a hydraulic system. Experimental and analytical results show that the value of the effective bulk modulus varies a lot in low pressure region by the effect of entrained air, while the effective bulk modulus can be estimated just using the oil and container bulk modulus on the other high pressure region.

궤도가 역사의 상부에 위치하여 열차운행으로 인하여 발생한 진동이 직접 전달되는 선하역사에서 구조물 진동과 이로 인한 구조물기인 소음이 기준치보다 높은 것으로 나타남에 따라, 기존 선하역사에 대하여 열차 운행의 중단 없이 진동저감이 가능한 경제적, 효율적 방안이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 진동전달 경로상의 기둥에 워터젯 공법으로 기둥단면에서 피복재 부분을 파쇄한 후 진동전달 절연기능을 가지는 에폭시 소재의 방진재를 보강하여 진동을 저감시키기 위한 구조진동절연시스템을 개발하였다. 방진재의 보강체적을 변수로 한 진동절연 시스템을 실제역사 기둥의 1/4축소모형에 적용하고, 충격가진 시험을 통한 진동저감 성능과 횡하중 반복가력시험을 통한 구조적 성능을 검증하고자 하였다. 충격가진 실험결과로부터 구조진동절연시스템을 적용할 경우 고유 진동주기가 하향되어 진동응답 특성이 변화되고 감쇠비는 약 15~30%까지 증가를 나타내어 진동저감 성능이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 반복하중 가력에 의한 구조성능 실험에서 하중-변위 및 강성변화에 대한 고찰과 연성도 및 에너지 소산의 증가를 보인 결과로 부터 구조부재로의 기능을 유지함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper develops a new nonlinear model for active control of three-dimensional (3D) irregular building structures. Both geometrical and material nonlinearities with a neuro-controller training algorithm are applied to a multi-degree-of-freedom 3D system. Two dynamic assembling motions are considered simultaneously in the control model such as coupling between torsional and lateral responses of the structure and interaction between the structural system and the actuators. The proposed control system and training algorithm of the structural system are evaluated by simulating the responses of the structure under the El-Centro 1940 earthquake excitation. In the numerical example, the 3D three-story structure with linear and nonlinear stiffness is controlled by a trained neural network. The actuator dynamics, control time delay and incident angle of earthquake are also considered in the simulation. Results show that the proposed control algorithm for 3D buildings is effective in structural control.

본 연구에서는 실험결과를 바탕으로 액체형 기둥감쇠기의 감쇠계수와 제어력에 참여하는 유효질량을 시스템 식별기법을 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 먼저, 두가지 형태의 동조액체형 기둥감쇠기를 제작하여 진동대 실험을 실시하였다. 다음으로 수조내부 액체의 수위를 변화시켜 가면서 조화하중 가진실험에 의한 감쇠기의 동적특성을 실험적으로 구하였다. 마지막으로 수치해석 모델과 실험결과와의 오차를 최소화하는 것에 의해 수위변화에 따른 감쇠기의 감쇠비와 유효질량을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 시스템 식별결과로부터 감쇠비와 유효질량이 감쇠기의 수위가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper focuses on providing a practical approach for decision making in Performance-Based Design (PBD). Satisfactory performance is defined by several performance objectives that place limits on direct (monetary) loss and on a tolerable probability of collapse. No specific limits are placed on conventional engineering parameters such as forces or deformations, although it is assumed that sound capacity design principles are followed in the design process. The proposed design procedure incorporates different performance objectives up front, before the structural system is created, and assists engineers in making informed decisions on the choice of an effective structural system and its stiffness (period), base shear strength, and other important global structural parameters. The tools needed to implement this design process are (1) hazard curves for a specific ground motion intensity measure, (2) mean loss curves for structural and nonstructural subsystems, (3) structural response curves that relate, for different structural systems, a ground motion intensity measure to the engineering demand parameter (e.g., interstory drift or floor acceleration) on which the subsystem loss depends, and (4) collapse fragility curves. Since the proposed procedure facilitates decision making in the conceptual design process, it is referred to as a Design Decision Support System, DDSS. Implementation of the DDSS is illustrated in an example to demonstrate its practicality.

This paper provides an overview on development of long-span bridges monitoring in Japan, with emphasis on monitoring strategies, types of monitoring system, and effective utilization of monitoring data. Because of severe environment condition such as high seismic activity and strong wind, bridge monitoring systems in Japan historically put more emphasis on structural evaluation against extreme events. Monitoring data were used to verify design assumptions, update specifications, and facilitate the efficacy of vibration control system. These were among the first objectives of instrumentation of long-span bridges in a framework of monitoring system in Japan. Later, monitoring systems were also utilized to evaluate structural performance under various environment and loading conditions, and to detect the possible structural deterioration over the age of structures. Monitoring systems are also employed as the basis of investigation and decision making for structural repair and/or retrofit when required. More recent interest has been to further extend application of monitoring to facilitate operation and maintenance, through rationalization of risk and asset management by utilizing monitoring data. The paper describes strategies and several examples of monitoring system and lessons learned from structural monitoring of long-span bridges in Japan.

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures are one of the most widely used structural systems to resist seismic loading all around the world. Although there have been several efforts to provide conceptually simple procedures to reasonably assess the seismic demands of structures over recent decades, it seems that lesser effort has been put on a number of structural forms such as RC shear wall structures. Therefore, this study aims to represent a simple linear response spectrum-based method which can acceptably predict the nonlinear displacements of a non-ductile RC shear wall structure subjected to an individual ground motion record. An effective period and an equivalent damping ratio are introduced as the dynamic characteristics of an equivalent linear SDOF system relevant to the main structure. By applying the fundamental mode participation factor of the original MDOF structure to the linear spectral response of the equivalent SDOF system, an acceptable estimation of the nonlinear displacement response is obtained. Subsequently, the accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated by comparison with another approximate method which is based on linear response spectrum. Results show that the proposed method has better estimations for maximum nonlinear responses and is more utilizable and applicable than the other one.

The structural control systems for civil engineering structures have got considerable attention in recent years, since they become effective protective systems. The key idea behind structural control is to keep the response of a structure within certain bounds dictated by serviceability, structural safety, and reliability. Recent activities in control algorithm development and control system design and practical aspects of their applications are sumarized, followed by a discussion on prossible future directions.
