Seismic control performance of MR dampers, which have severe nonlinearity, differs with respect to the dynamic characteristics of an earthquake such as magnitude, frequency and duration. In this study, the effects of excitation characteristics on the equivalent linear system of a building structure with the MR damper are investigated through numerical analysis for artificial ground motions generated from different response spectrums. The equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is calculated using Newmark and Hall's equations for ground motion amplification factors. It is found that the equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is dependent on the ratio of the maximum friction force of the MR damper over excitation magnitude. Frequency contents of the earthquake ground motion affects the equivalent damping ratio of long-period structures considerably. Also, additional damping effect caused by interaction between the viscousity and friction of the MR damper is observed. Finally, response reduction factors for equivalent linear systems are proposed in order to improve accuracy in the prediction of the actual nonlinear response.

The purpose of this study is to propose a new method for evaluating equivalent damping ratios of a structure with supplemental damping devices to assess their control effect quantitatively. A MDOF system is transformed to an equivalent SDOF system based on the assumption that the first mode dominates structural response. Approximate closed-form formulas for the evaluation of the first damping ratio are presented for various damping devices. Through numerical analysis of a ten-story building equipped with damping devices, the effectiveness of equivalent SDOF model and closed form formulas are verified.

As an alternative to current conventional force-based assessment methods, the energy-based seismic performance of a code-designed 20-storey high-rise steel building is evaluated in this paper. Using 3D nonlinear dynamic time-history method with consideration of additional material damping effect, the influences of different restoring force models and P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects on energy components are investigated. By combining equivalent viscous damping and hysteretic damping ratios of the structure subjected to strong ground motions, a new damping model, which is amplitude-dependent, is discussed in detail. According to the analytical results, all energy components are affected to various extents by P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects and a difference of less than 10% is observed; the energy values of the structure without consideration of P-${\Delta}/{\delta}$ effects are larger, while the restoring force models have a minor effect on seismic input energy with a difference of less than 5%, but they have a certain effect on both viscous damping energy and hysteretic energy with a difference of about 5~15%. The paper shows that the use of the hysteretic energy at its ultimate state as a seismic design parameter has more advantages than seismic input energy since it presents a more stable value. The total damping ratio of a structure consists of viscous damping ratio and hysteretic damping ratio and it is found that the equivalent viscous damping ratio is a constant for the structure, while the equivalent hysteretic damping ratio approximately increases linearly with structural response in elasto-plastic stage.

High-rise structures prone to large vibrations under the action of strong winds, resulting in fatigue damage of the structural components and the foundation. A novel compound damping cable system (CDCS) is proposed to suppress the excessive vibrations. CDCS uses tailored double cable system with increased tensile stiffness as the connecting device, and makes use of the relative motion between the high-rise structure and the ground to drive the damper to move back-and-forth, dissipating the vibration mechanical energy of the high-rise structure so as to decaying the excessive vibration. Firstly, a third-order differential equation for the free vibration of high-rise structure with CDCS is established, and its closed form solution is obtained by the root formulas of cubic equation (Shengjin's formulas). Secondly, the analytical solution is validated by a laboratory model experiment. Thirdly, parametric analysis is conducted to investigate how the parameters affect the vibration control performance. Finally, the dynamic responses of the high-rise structure with CDCS under harmonic and stochastic excitations are calculated and its vibration mitigation performance is further evaluated. The results show that the CDCS can provide a large equivalent additional damping ratio for the vibrating structures, thus suppressing the excessive vibration effectively. It is anticipated that the CDCS can be used as a good alternative energy dissipation system for vibration control of high-rise structures.

발파에 대한 주변 구조물이나 사면의 안정성은 경험적 진동감쇠식 또는 발파진동 동적 수치해석을 통하여 평가한다. 동적해석을 수행하기 위해서는 발파하중과 지반 감쇠비의 산정이 필요하다. 발파하중에 대해서는 다양한 경험적 방법이 제시되었지만 암반의 감쇠비에 대한 연구는 제한적이며 해석 시 이를 무시하거나 명확한 근거 없이 가정하여 해석에 적용하고 있다. 암반의 감쇠비는 절리의 영향을 크게 받으므로 이를 고려해서 산정해야 한다. 또한, 평면파로 가정할 수 있는 지진파와는 다르게 발파 시에는 구면파가 생성되며 이를 2차원 해석에서 모사하는 경우에는 이의 기하학적 확산을 고려하기 위하여 감쇠비를 조정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 위의 두 가지 영향이 고려된 2차원 평면변형률 연속체 해석에 적용 가능한 암반의 등가감쇠비를 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 다양한 강성의 암반에 대한 2차원 동적해석을 수행하여 암반의 감쇠비에 따른 진동전파 특성을 분석하였으며 해석결과를 기반으로 진동감쇠식-전단파속도-등가감쇠비와의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 제시된 상관관계는 경험적 진동감쇠식에 상응하는 감쇠비를 산정한 최초의 시도로 중요한 의미가 있으며 동시에 실무에도 쉽게 적용될 수 있는 유용한 방법이다.

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the seismic behavior of isolated bridges with supplemental viscous damping. Usually very large displacements make seismic isolation an unfeasible solution due to boundary conditions, especially in case of existing bridges or high risk seismic regions. First, a suggested optimal design procedure is introduced, then seismic performance of three real bridges with different isolation systems and damping levels is investigated. Each bridge is studied in four different configurations: simply supported (SSB), isolated with 10% damping (IB), isolated with 30% damping (LRB) and isolated with optimal supplemental damping ratio (IDB). Two of the case studies are investigated under spectrum compatible far-field ground motions, while the third one is subjected to near-fault strong motions. With respect to different design strategies proposed by other authors, results of the analysis demonstrated that an isolated bridge equipped with HDLRBs and a total equivalent damping ratio of 70% represents a very effective design solution. Thanks to confirmed effective performance in terms of base shear mitigation and displacement reduction under both far field and near fault ground motions, as well as for both simply supported and continuous bridges, the suggested control system provides robustness and reliability in terms of seismic performance also resulting cost effective.

본 논문은 에너지 분산 장치의 일종인 점탄성 감쇠기를 설치한 건물의 거동에 관한 실험 및 해석적 연구이다. 점탄성 감쇠기는 강지진 하중에 의하여 건물에 발생한 과도한 진동을 감소시키는데 효과적이다, 모드 변형에너지법을 이용하여 감쇠기에 의해 증가된 등가구조감쇠를 성공적으로 예측할 수 있으며, 따라서 점탄성 감쇠기를 설치한 건물의 지진 응답이 일반적인 모드 해석기법을 이용한 수치 모형 해석에 의해 정확히 예측된다. 이러한 결과를 토대로, 점탄성 감쇠기를 설치한 건물에 대한 설계 방법을 제시한다. 이 설계 방법은 일반적인 건물의 설계에 감쇠비라는 설계 요소를 추가함으로써 가능해진다.
