In the present study, exterior beam column sub-assemblages are designed in accordance with the codal stipulations prevailed at different times prior to the introduction of modern seismic provisions, viz., i) Gravity load designed with straight bar anchorage (SP1), ii) Gravity load designed with compression anchorage (SP1-D), iii) designed for seismic load but not detailed for ductility (SP2), and iv) designed for seismic load and detailed for ductility (SP3). Comparative seismic performance of these exterior beam-column sub-assemblages are evaluated through experimental investigations carried out under repeated reverse cyclic loading. Seismic performance parameters like load-displacement hysteresis behavior, energy dissipation, strength and stiffness degradation, and joint shear deformation of the specimens are evaluated. It is found from the experimental studies that with the evolution of the design methods, from gravity load designed to non-ductile and then to ductile detailed specimens, a marked improvement in damage resilience is observed. The gravity load designed specimens SP1 and SP1-D respectively dissipated only one-tenth and one-sixth of the energy dissipated by SP3. The specimen SP3 showcased tremendous improvement in the energy dissipation capacity of nearly 2.56 times that of SP2. Irrespective of the level of design and detailing, energy dissipation is finally manifested through the damage in the joint region. The present study underlines the seismic deficiency of beam-column sub-assemblages of different design evolutions and highlights the need for their strengthening/retrofit to make them fit for seismic event.

본 연구에서는 지진에 대한 고층건물의 응답특성, 그리고 지진응답에 미치는 중력하중의 영향과 중력하중의 영향이 내진설계에 미치는 중요성을 산정하였다. 이를 위해서 예제 구조물에 대한 정적해석 및 지진하중에 대한 동적해석을 하였다. 지진에 대한 고층건물의 지진응답 특성을 파악하기 위하여 비탄성 변형의 건물 높이에 따른 분포를 알아보았다. 지진이 발생하면 휨모멘트 요구도가 건물의 상부층보다 하부층에서 상대적으로 더 많이 증가해서 설계모멘트와의 차이가 건물의 하부층으로 갈수록 더 커진다. 그 결과 현재 쓰이는 내진설계방법에 따라 설계된 예제 건물들은 지진에 대하여 비탄성 응답이 건물의 각 층마다 서로 다르게 발생하는데 주로 건물의 하부층에서 큰 비탄성 응답이 발생한다. 또한 설계시에 고려된 중력하중 때문에 구조적 손상이 건물의 꼭대기 층에서 아래로 갈수록 크게 증가한다. 구조물의 지진응답에 관하여 중력하중은 보의 항복시간을 앞당기며, 보의 양단의 소성힌지에 각기 다른 비탄성 거동을 유발시킨다. 그러나 중력하중에 의한 초기 휨모멘트의 영향은 보가 비탄성 거동을 계속함에 따라 재분배되어 보의 양단에서 그 영향이 감소되며 비탄성 변형이 계속되면 크게 감소한다. 중력하중에 의한 초기 휨모멘트의 영향이 감소는 고층건물의 내진설계에 있어서 중력하중의 영향이 주는 의미는 기둥과 보의 휨강도를 결정할 때 현재의 방법보다 중력하중의 영향을 줄이고 지진하중의 영향을 증가시켜야 한다는 것이다.

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.

A self-tuning FPID(Fuzzy Proportional Intergral Derivative) controller fo load frequency control of 2-area power systemis proposed in this paper. The paramters of the proposed self-tuning FPID controller are self-tuned by the proposed fuzzy inference technique. Therefore in this paper the fuzzy inference technique of PID gains using PSGM(Product Sum Gravity Method) is presented and is applied to the load frequency control of 2-area power system. The computer simulation results show that the proposed controller give better more control characteristics than convention-al PID, FLC under load changes.

In the current work, a poro-thermoelastic half-space issue with temperature-dependent characteristics and an inclined load is examined in the framework of the three-phase-lag model (3PHL) while taking into account the effects of magnetic and gravity fields. The resulting coupled governing equations are non-dimensional and are solved by normal mode analysis. To investigate the impacts of the gravitational field, magnetic field, inclined load, and an empirical material constant, numerical findings are graphically displayed. MATLAB software is used for numerical calculations. Graphs are used to visualize and analyze the computational findings. It is found that the physical quantities are affected by the magnetic field, gravity field, the nonlocal parameter, the inclined load, and the empirical material constant.

A numerical analysis was performed for interior connections of continuous flat plate to analyze the effect of design parameters such as column section shape, gravity load and slab span on the behavioral characteristics of the connections. Through the parametric study, the variations of shear stress distribution around the connection were investigated. According to the result of numerical analysis, as the length of the cross section of column in the direction of lateral load increases and gravity load increases, the effective area and the maximum shear strength providing the torsional resistance decrease considerably. And as the slab span loaded with relatively large gravity load increases, the negative moment around the connection increases and therefore the strength of connection against unbalanced moment decreases.

This paper presents the analysis result of load-transfer mechanism and pile movements associated with the development of frictional resistance to understand the engineering characteristics of micropile behavior. An field load tests were performed for two different types of micropiles and they are (i) thread bar reinforcement with D=50mm and (ii) hollow steel pipe reinforcement with $D_{out}$=82.5mm and $D_{in}$=60.5mm and wrapped with woven geotextile for post-grouting. The load test results indicated that micropiling with pressured grouting provided better load-transfer characteristics than micropiling with gravity grouting under both compressive and tensile loading conditions in that unit skin frictional resistance is well distributed along installation depth. The unit weight and unconfined compressive strength of cured grout were obtained for each piling method. The strength and unit weight of micropile with pressured grouting was higher than those with gravity grouting. The fact that load bearing quality with pressured grouting is better than that of gravity grouting could be attributed to the dense mutual adhesion between surrounding ground and pile due to pressurized grouting method and better grout quality.

In general, post tensioned (PT) flat plate slab systems have been used as a Gravity Load Resisting System (GLRS) in buildings. Thus, these systems should be constructed with Lateral Force Resisting Systems (LFRS) such as shear walls and moment resisting frames. When lateral loads such as winds or earthquakes occur, lateral load resisting systems undergo displacement by which connected gravity systems experience lateral displacement. Therefore, GLRS should have some lateral displacement capacity in order to hold gravity loads under severe earthquakes and winds. Since there are the limited number of researches on PT flat plate slab systems, the behavior of the systems have not been well defined. This study investigated the cyclic behavior of post tensioned flat plate slab systems. For this purpose, an experimental test was carried out using 4 interior PT flat plate slab-column specimens. All specimens have bottom reinforcement in the slab around the slab-column connection. Test variables of this experimental study are vertical load level and tendon distribution patterns.

In the famous equivalent elasticity modulus method proposed by Ernst for the geometrical nonlinear analysis of stay cables, the cable shape was assumed as a parabolic curve, and only a part of the gravity load normal to the chord was taken into account with the other part of gravity load parallel to the chord being ignored. Using the actual catenary curve and considering the entire gravity load of stay cables, the present study has derived the equivalent stiffness method to analyze the sag effect of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges. The derived equivalent stiffness can be degenerated into Ernst's equivalent elasticity modulus method with some approximations. Therefore, the Ernst's method is a special and approximate formulation of the present method. The derived equivalent stiffness provides a theoretical explanation for the famous Ernst's formula.

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.
