A method for computing effectiv ebandwidth of aggregated varable bit rate (VBR) moving picture experts group (MPEG) video traffic is proposed. To compute statistical characteristics of aggregated MPEG traffic, first we split input MPEG traffic into I, B, and P frame traffics and aggregate respective I, B, and P frame traffics according to the frame type. Second statisticsal characteristics of the aggregated MPEG traffic are obtained using those of aggregated I, B, and P frame traffics. The effective bandwidth of the aggregated I frame traffic is computed by using the gaussian bound. Using the modified equivalent capacity, we obtain the effective bandwidths of aggregated B and P frame traffics and then compute the effective bandwidth of the combined B and P frame traffic. Finally the effective bandwidth of the aggregated MPEG traffic is computed by adding the gaussian bound of the aggregated I frame traffic and modifed equivalent capacity of combined B and P frame traffic. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method estimates effective bandwidth of the aggregated MPEG traffic well.

In this paper, a simplified seismic design method for low-rise dual frame-steel plate shear wall (SPSW) structures is proposed in the framework of performance-based seismic design. The dynamic response of a low-rise structure is mainly dominated by the first-mode and the structural system can be simplified to an equivalent single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator. The dual frame-SPSW structure was decomposed into a frame system and a SPSW system and they were simplified to an equivalent F-SDOF (SDOF for frame) oscillator and an equivalent S-SDOF (SDOF for SPSW) oscillator, respectively. The analytical models of F-SDOF and S-SDOF oscillators were constructed based on the OpenSees platform. The equivalent SDOF oscillator (D-SDOF, dual SDOF) for the frame-SPSW system was developed by combining the F-SDOF and S-SDOF oscillators in parallel. By employing the lateral force resistance coefficients and seismic demands of D-SDOF oscillator, the design approach of SPSW systems was developed. A 7-story frame-SPSW system was adopted to verify the feasibility and demonstrate the design process of the simplified method. The results also show the seismic demands derived by the equivalent dual SDOF oscillator have a good consistence with that by the frame-SPSW structure.

The equivalent frame method (EFM) is widely used for the design of two-way reinforced concrete slab structures, and current design codes of practice permit the application of the EFM in analyzing the flat plate slab structures under gravity and lateral loads. The EFM was, however, originally developed for the flat plate structures subjected to gravity load, which is not suitable for lateral loading case. Therefore, this study, the first part of series research paper, proposed the structural analysis method for the flat plate slab structures under the combined gravity and lateral loads, which is named as the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM). In the proposed method, some portion of rotation induced in the torsional member is distributed to the flexibility of the equivalent columns, and the remaining portion is contributed to that of the equivalent slabs. In the consecutive companion paper, the proposed UEFM is verified by comparing with test results of multi-span flat plate structures. Also, a simplified nonlinear push-over analysis method is proposed, and verified by comparing to test results.

This study is to propose a modified equivalent frame method under lateral loading. ACI 318-02 allows the equivalent frame method to conduct slab analysis subjected to lateral loads. However, current method can not predict the behavior of the slabs particularly under lateral loading because the equivalent frame method in the ACI 318 has been developed against gravity loads. This study provides more precise model for the analysis of the flat plate slabs under lateral loading. The model reflect the force transfer mechanism of slabs, column and torsional member more accurately than the existing model. The accuracy of this model is verified by compared with finite element method analysis results.

Flat plate slab systems have been commonly used as a gravity force resisting systems, which should be constructed with lateral force resisting systems such as shear walls and moment resisting frame. ACI 318(2005) allows the Direct design method, the equivalent frame method (ACI-EFM) under gravity loads and the finite-element models, effective beam width models and equivalent frame models under lateral loads. ACI-EFM can be used for gravity loads as well as lateral loads analysis. But the method may not predict the behavior of flat plate slabs under lateral loads. Thus Previous study developed a Modified equivalent frame method(Modified-EFM) which could give more precise answer for flat plate slab under lateral loads. This study is to verified the accuracy of a Modified-EFM under combined lateral and gravity loads. The accuracy of this model is verified by comparing the results using the Modified-EFM with the results of finite element analysis. For this purpose, 7 story building is considered. The analysis results of other existing models are included. The analysis results show that Modified-EFM produces comparable drift and slab internal moments with those obtained from finite element analysis.

The current design codes present an equivalent frame method (EFM) for the analysis and design of two-way slab structures. However, since the EFM was developed to be suitable for two-way slab structures subjected to gravity loads only, it brings many problems in its application to the analysis of two-way slabs to which gravity and lateral loads are applied simultaneously. Therefore, authors proposed the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM) that can analyze the structural behavior of flat-plate slab systems subjected to gravity and lateral loads in their previous studies. In this study, the UEFM was modified to be applicable to the two-way slab system with beams. In addition, the accuracy of the proposed UEFM was then examined by comparing it to the lateral behaviors of the two-way slab specimens.

In the previous paper, authors proposed the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM) for the lateral behavior analysis of the flat plate structure subjected to the combined gravity and lateral loads, in which the rotations of torsional members were distributed to the equivalent column and the equivalent slab according to the relative ratio of gravity and lateral loads. In this paper, the lateral behavior of the multi-span flat plate structures under various levels of combined gravity and lateral loads were analyzed by the proposed UEFM, which were compared with test results as well as those estimated by existing models. In addition, to consider the stiffness degradation of the flat plate system after cracking, the stiffness reduction factors for torsional members were derived from the test results of the interior and exterior slab-column connection specimens, based on which the simplified nonlinear push-over analysis method for flat plate structures was proposed. The simplified nonlinear analysis method provided good agreements with test results and is considered to be very useful for the practical design of the flat plate structures under the combined gravity and lateral loads.

플랫플레이트 시스템은 주로 전단벽과 가새 골조와 같은 횡력저항 시스템과 함께 중력저항 시스템으로 사용된다. 따라서 지진과 같은 횡하중이 작용할 때, 중력저항 시스템은 중력하중에 대한 전달 능력을 유지하면서 일체로 연결된 횡력저항 시스템의횡변위를 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 또한 플랫플레이트 시스템은 지진에 대한 특별 상세조건에 만족하면 중간 모멘트 골조로써 횡력저항 시스템으로도 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 횡하중이 작용하는 경우 플랫플레이트 시스템은 횡변위와 불균형모멘트로 인한 뚫림 전단의 위험성은 더욱 커지게 된다. 따라서 플랫플레이트 시스템을 중력 저항 또는 횡력 저항 시스템으로 설계하는 모든 경우에 중력하중뿐만 아니라 횡하중하의 설계 내력 (모멘트와 전단력)과 변위 등의 합리적인 예측은 매우 중요하다. ACI 318 (2005)에서는 중력하중에 대한 해석시 직접설계법과 등가골조법을 제시하고 있으며, 횡하중에 대한 해석으로 유한요소법, 유효보폭법, 등가골조법을 허용한다. 이러한 해석법은 각각 장단점을 갖고 있으며, 매우 광범위한 해석 결과를 보인다. 따라서 구조 설계자들은 적절한 해석법의 선택과 해석 결과를 분석하는데 어려움을 갖는다. 본 연구의 목적은 플랫플레이트 해석법에 대한 구조 설계자들이 적절한 해석법을 선택할 수 있도록 하고, 횡하중에 대한 해석 방법으로 수정된 등가골조법의 실용성을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 중력하중과 횡하중을 받는 7층의 플랫플레이트 구조물에 대한 내부력과 횡변위를 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하고 각 골조해석법의 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 각 골조해석법의 정확성은 기존 플랫플레이트 슬래브 구조물의 실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.

Masonry-infilled walls have been used in reinforced concrete(RC) frame structures as interior and exterior partition walls. Since these walls are considered as nonstructural elements, they were only considered as additional mass. However, infill walls tend to interact with the structure's overall strength, rigidity, and energy dissipation. Infill walls have been analyzed by finite element method or transposed as equivalent strut model. The equivalent strut model is a typical method to evaluate masonry-infilled structure to avoid the burden of complex finite element model. This study compares different strut models to identify their properties and applicability with regard to the characteristics of the structure and various material models.
