Multi-scale model can take both computational efficiency and accuracy into consideration when it is used to conduct elasto-plastic seismic response analysis for complex steel bridges. This paper proposed a method based on pushover analysis of member sharing the same section pattern to verify the accuracy of multi-scale model. A deck-through type steel arch bridge with a span length of 200m was employed for seismic response analysis using multi-scale model and fiber model respectively, the validity and necessity of elasto-plastic seismic analysis for steel bridge by multi-scale model was then verified. The results show that the convergence of load-displacement curves obtained from pushover analysis for members having the same section pattern can be used as a proof of the accuracy of multi-scale model. It is noted that the computational precision of multi-scale model can be guaranteed when length of shell element segment is 1.40 times longer than the width of section where was in compression status. Fiber model can only be used for the predictions of the global deformations and the approximate positions of plastic areas on steel structures. However, it cannot give exact prediction on the distribution of plastic areas and the degree of the plasticity.

The objective of present paper is to provide the fundamental data of earthquake-resistance design such as estimating the resistance capacity and evaluating the design seismic load. With one bending failed building, it is checked and compared between real damaged result and analysis value by means of static and dynamic analysis using multi-degree of freedom system. In this analysis, four kinds of the earthquake waves are used. Through elasto-plastic seismic response analysis of reinforced concrete building, we could estimate dynamic behaviour of building.

The objective of this study is to investigate the earthquake response for the design of 100m spanned single-layer lattice dome. The plastic hinge analysis and eigenvalue buckling analysis are performed to estimate the ultimate load of single-layered lattice domes under vertical loads. In order to ensure the stability of lattice domes, it is investigated for the plastic hinge progressive status by the pushover increment analysis considering the elasto-plastic connection. One of the most effective methods to reduce the earthquake response of large span domes is to install the LRB isolation system of a dome. The authors discuss the reducing effect for the earthquake dynamic response of 100m spanned single-layered lattice domes. The LRB seismic isolation system can greatly reduce the dynamic response of lattice domes for the horizontal and vertical earthquake ground motion.

Total stress analysis method and nonlinear constitutive models have been used to analyze a dynamic performance of Dams but, there is some limitation in analysis, for example, effects of build up of pore pressure and generations of permanent deformations. Therefore considering these limitations, which is mentioned before, dynamic behavior characteristics of dams and response acceleration characteristics was analyzed in time domain, applying an elasto-plastic constitutive model and effective analysis method.

본 논문에서는 철근콘크리트 구조물과 같이 강성저감으로 인해 낮은 에너지 소산능력을 갖는 구조물의 제진성능을 비선형시간이력해석을 통해 조사하였다. 원구조물은 modified Takeda 이력모델을 갖는 단자유도시스템으로 이상화하였고, 완전탄소성 모델로 이력감쇠장치를 모델링하였다. 수치해석결과의 통계를 기초로 등가선형화에 의한 제진응답 평가의 적용성을 검증하였고, 제진보강 구조물의 응답예측을 위한 경험식을 제시하였다. 결과적으로 등가선형화를 통한 변위응답 평가보다는 본 연구에서 제시한 경험식을 이용하여 요구연성도를 추정하는 것이 더 정확하다. 경험식에서 얻어진 적정 감쇠기 항복강도는 완전탄소성시스템에 대한 최적 항복강도와는 상당한 차이를 가진다. 획득 가능한 연성도 저감효과는 원구조물의 고유주기가 짧을수록, 지진의 상대적 강도가 약할수록 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In the case of seismic-resistant composite dual moment resisting and eccentrically braced frames, the current design practice is to avoid the disposition of shear connectors in the expected plastic zones, and consequently to consider a symmetric moment or shear plastic hinges, which occur only in the steel beam or link. Even without connectors, the real behavior of the hinge may be different from the symmetric assumption since the reinforced concrete slab is connected to the steel element close to the hinge locations, and also due to contact friction between the concrete slab and the steel element. At a larger level, the structural response in the case of important seismic motions depends directly on the elasto-plastic behavior of elements and hinges. The numerical investigation presented in this study summarizes the results of elasto-plastic analyses of several steel frames, considering the interaction of the steel beam with the concrete slab. Several parameters, such as the inter-story drift, plastic rotation requirements and behavior factors q were monitored. In order to obtain accurate results, adequate models of plastic hinges are proposed for both the composite short link and composite reduced beam sections.

The seismic performance of rigid steel frames is widely investigated, but that of semi-rigid (SR) steel frames are not studied extensively, especially for near-field earthquakes. In this paper, the performances of five and ten-story steel SR frames having different degrees of semi-rigidity are evaluated at four performance points in the four different deformation states, namely, the elastic, elasto-plastic, plastic, and near collapse states. The performances of the SR frames are measured by the response parameters including the maximum values of the top floor displacement, base shear, inter-story drift ratio, number of plastic hinges, and SRSS of plastic hinge rotations. These response parameters are obtained by the capacity spectrum method (CSM) using pushover analysis. The validity of the response parameters determined by the CSM is evaluated by the results of the nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) for both near and far-field earthquakes at different PGA levels, which are consistent with the performance points. Results of the study show that the plastic hinges of SR frame significantly increase in the range of plastic to near-collapse states for both near and far-field earthquakes. The effect of the degree of semi-rigidity is pronounced only at higher degrees of semi-rigidity. The predictions of the CSM are fairly well in comparison to the NLTHA.

The soil-structure relative stiffness is a key factor affecting the seismic response of underground structures. It is of great significance to study the soil-structure relative stiffness for the soil-structure interaction and the seismic disaster reduction of subway stations. In this paper, the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of an inhomogeneous soft soil site under different buried depths which were obtained by a one-dimensional equivalent linearization site response analysis were used as the input parameters in a 2D finite element model. A visco-elasto-plastic constitutive model based on the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion combined with stiffness degradation was used to describe the plastic behavior of soil. The damage plasticity model was used to simulate the plastic behavior of concrete. The horizontal and vertical relative stiffness ratios of soil and structure were defined to study the influence of relative stiffness on the seismic response of subway stations in inhomogeneous soft soil. It is found that the compression damage to the middle columns of a subway station with a higher relative stiffness ratio is more serious while the tensile damage is slighter under the same earthquake motion. The relative stiffness has a significant influence on ground surface deformation, ground acceleration, and station structure deformation. However, the effect of the relative stiffness on the deformation of the bottom slab of the subway station is small. The research results can provide a reference for seismic fortification of subway stations in the soft soil area.

최대지반가속도(PGA : Peak Ground Acceleration)는 지진파의 최대값을 나타내는 매개변수(Parameter)이며 주로 지진파의 강도를 나타낸다. PGA가 동일하더라도 지진파에 따라 다른 동적특성을 가질 수 있고 구조물에 미치는 영향도 다를 수 있다. 따라서 PGA만으로 구조물에 미치는 지진의 특성을 평가하는 것은 바람직하지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답해석을 위하여 단자유도(Single Degree Of Freedom) 구조물의 시간이력해석 수행하였으며, 수치해석모델은 완전 탄소성(Perfect Elasto-Plastic)으로 가정하였다. 검토한 입력 지진파는 El Centro NS(1940)의 값을 증감한 지진파를 포함한 실측지진파, 인공지진파를 사용하였다. 이와 같은 수치해석을 통하여 PGA가 동일한 인공지진파들에 대해 비탄성 지진응답해석을 수행하고, 각 지진파에 대하여 변위연성도와 누적소산에너지를 비교하였다. 그 결과 동일한 PGA를 가지더라도 지진파에 따라 서로 다른 응답을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 지진의 특성뿐 아니라 구조물의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 지표가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답을 대표할 수 있는 SI(Spectrum Intensity)는 속도응답스펙트럼의 일정구간에 대한 적분을 통하여 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 SI와 변위연성도 및 누적소산에너지의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 구조물의 지진에 대한 비탄성응답의 대표값으로 SI가 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
