The behavior of 8 steel reinforced high-strength concrete (SRHSC) columns, which comprised of four identical columns with cross-shaped steel and other four identical columns with square steel tube, was investigated experimentally under cyclic uniaxial and biaxial loading independently. The influence of steel configuration and loading path on the global behavior of SRHSC columns in terms of failure process, hysteretic characteristics, stiffness degradation and ductility were investigated and discussed, as well as stress level of the longitudinal and transverse reinforcing bars and steel. The research results indicate that with a same steel ratio deformation capacity of steel reinforced concrete columns with a square steel tube is better than the one with a cross-shaped steel. Loading path affects hysteretic characteristics of the specimens significantly. Under asymmetrical loading path, hysteretic characteristics of the specimens are also asymmetry. Compared with specimens under unidirectional loading, specimens subjected to bidirectional loading have poor carrying capacity, fast stiffness degradation, small yielding displacement, poor ductility and small ultimate failure drift. It also demonstrates that loading paths affect the deformation capacity or deformation performance significantly. Longitudinal reinforcement yielding occurs before the peak load is attained, while steel yielding occurs at the peak load. During later displacement loading, strain of longitudinal and transverse reinforcing bars and steel of specimens under biaxial loading increased faster than those of specimens subjected to unidirectional loading. Therefore, the bidirectional loading path has great influence on the seismic performance such as carrying capacity and deformation performance, which should be paid more attentions in structure design.

Pile foundation is widely used for railway bridges in loess throughout northwestern China. Modeling of the loess-pile interaction is an essential part for seismic analysis of bridge with pile foundation at seismically active regions. A quasi-static test is carried out to investigate the hysteretic behaviors of pile foundation in collapsible loess. The failure characteristics of the bridge pile-loess system under the cyclic lateral loading are summarized. From the test results, the energy dissipation, stiffness degradation and ductility of the pile foundation in loess are analyzed. Therefore, a bilinear model with stiffness degradation is recommended for the nonlinearity of the bridge pier-pile-loess system. It can be found that the stiffness of the bridge pier-pile-loess system decreases quickly in the initial stage, and then becomes more slowly with the increase of the displacement ductility. The equivalent viscous damping ratio is defined as the ratio of the dissipated energy in one cycle of hysteresis curves and increases with the lateral displacement.

Oil, hysteretic and inertial mass dampers are representatives of passive dampers used for smart enhancement of seismic performance of building structures. Since oil dampers have a nonlinear relief mechanism and hysteretic dampers possess nonlinear restoring-force characteristics, several difficulties arise in the evaluation of buildings including such dampers. The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical method for simultaneous optimal use of such dampers. The optimum design problem is formulated so as to minimize the maximum interstory drift under design earthquakes in terms of a set of damper quantities subject to an equality constraint on the total cost of dampers. The proposed method to solve the optimum design problem is a successive procedure which consists of two steps. The first step is a sensitivity analysis by using nonlinear time-history response analyses, and the second step is a modification of the set of damper quantities based upon the sensitivity analysis. Numerical examples are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed design method.

This study describes an evaluation of the vibration-level reduction effect of natural rubber inserted between two aluminum blocks, in which the modal parameters are predicted using two different damping systems. A numerical model with two degrees of freedom was established for both the cases. One was an eigenvalue problem analysis using a state space method and general viscous damping, whereas the other was a method using hysteretic damping. The modal parameters obtained from these two approaches were compared with those obtained from the finite element method using a commercial package. As a result, the natural frequencies observed in the complex frequency response curve were consistently less than the average of four percents. The damping ratios also showed good agreement within a reasonable range. However, the hysteretic damping system showed a relatively larger difference for all modal parameters. This suggests that the analysis procedure makes it easier to predict the vibration transmission characteristics of the shape and configuration of any cushioning layer.

In seismic analysis of moment-resisting frames, beam-column connections are often modeled with rigid joint zones. However, it has been demonstrated that, in ductile reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames designed based on current codes (to say nothing of older non-ductile frames), the joint zones are in fact not rigid, but rather undergo significant shear deformations that contribute greatly to global drift. Therefore, the "rigid joint" assumption may result in misinterpretation of the global performance characteristics of frames and could consequently lead to miscalculation of strength and ductility demands on constituent frame members. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a rational method for estimating the hysteretic joint shear behavior of RC connections and for incorporating this behavior into frame analysis. The authors tested four RC edge beam-column-slab connection subassemblies subjected to earthquake-type lateral loading; hysteretic joint shear behavior is investigated based on these tests and other laboratory tests reported in the literature. An analytical scheme employing the modified compression field theory (MCFT) is developed to approximate joint shear stress vs. joint shear strain response. A connection model capable of explicitly considering hysteretic joint shear behavior is then formulated for nonlinear structural analysis. In the model, a joint is represented by rigid elements located along the joint edges and nonlinear rotational springs embedded in one of the four hinges linking adjacent rigid elements. The connection model is able to well represent the experimental hysteretic joint shear behavior and overall load-displacement response of connection subassemblies.

에너지 설계법은 지진에 의해 누적된 손상과 구조물의 이력거동에 의한 영향을 직접적으로 고려할 수 있기 때문에 현행 내진설계 기준보다 더 합리적이다. 그러나 지반운동과 구조물 특성에 따른 에너지 응답에 대한 관련 연구자들의 합의가 아직 도출되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 에너지 요구에 대한 지진하중과 구조물 특성의 영향을 다른 지반조건에서 계측된 100개의 지진기록을 이용하여 평가하고 기존 연구결과와 비교하였다. 해석 결과에 따르면 연성비와 지반조건은 입력에너지에 상당한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 입력에너지에 대한 이력에너지비는 연성비, 감쇠비와 강한 지진파의 지속시간에 많은 영향을 받았지만 지반조건에 따른 변화는 작았다.

This paper describes the simulation of the levitation force between permanent magnet and high Tc(critical temperature) superconductor(HTSC). Levitation force is evaluated numerically on the basis of the magnetic vector potential method and the critical state model. The superconductor is approximated to 2-D slab model. By performing computations, the following characteristics have been investigated: the process of the generation of hysteresis, the various hysteretic behaviors. The characteristics of hysteresis are important for the application to magnetic bearing, for the damping and the nonlinear stiffness is related to hysteresis.

The specimens were fabricated at full scale to evaluate their hysteretic behavior. A description of the test specimens, the details of the joint, the test system and the testing methods are described. The test results showed that the structural behavior of these composite connections was influenced by the connection details.

In this study, the modal analysis is adopted for the investigation of vibratory characteristics of a rolling stock. A governing equation for this system is deverived on a condition that the rolling stock is in proportional viscous damping and proportional hysteretic damping. By applying this method a computational modal analysis software is developed. The validity and reliability of this method is verified by comparing the results for the above case and with those of a system having proportional viscous damping and a system having general viscous damping. A system that has non-linearity, an error from the calculation may occur in the analysis. In this case, we applied the piecewise linear method to estimate the modal parameters.
