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.

구조물의 손상 진단을 위해 측정 가속도 데이터를 사용한 비선형 시간영역 SI 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 구조물의 비선형 거동을 고려하기 위하여 측정 가속도 증분과 해석에 의한 가속도 증분의 차이로 출력오차를 정의하고, 구속 비선형 최적화 문제를 풀어 최적 구조변수를 구하였다. 개발된 알고리듬은 시간에 따라 변하는 강성도와 감쇠 변수를 추정하도록 하였다. 구조물의 비선형 거동에 의한 복원력은 추정된 시간에 따라 변하는 구조변수와 Newmark-$\beta$법으로 계산한 변위를 사용하여 복원하였으며, 복원 과정에서 비탄성 거동에 대한 어떤 모델도 사전에 설정하지 않았다. 개발한 알고리듬에서는 측정오차와 공간 및 상태에 대한 불완전 측정의 경우를 고려하였다. 개발한 알고리듬을 검증하기 위하여 3층 전단건물에 대한 수치 모의시험과 실내 모형실험을 통한 연구를 수행하였다.

Many Korean domestic masonry structures constructed since 1970 have been found to be vulnerable to earthquakes because they lack efficient lateral force resistance. Many studies have shown that the brick and mortar suddenly experience brittle fracture and out-of-plane collapse when they reach the inelastic range. This study evaluated the seismic retrofitting of non-reinforced masonry with Hybrid Super Coating (HSC) and Cast, manufactured using glass fiber. Four types of specimen original specimen (BR-OR), one layered HSC (BR-HS-O), two-layered HSC (BR-HS-B), one layered HSC, and Cast (BR-CT-HS-O) were constructed and analyzed using compression, flexural tensile, diagonal compression, and triplet tests. The specimen responses were presented and discussed in load-displacement curves, maximum strength, and crack propagation. The compressive strength of the retrofit specimens slightly increased, while the flexural tensile strength of the retrofit specimens increased significantly. In addition, the HSC and Cast also produced a considerable increase in the ductile response of specimens before failure. Diagonal compression test results showed that HSC delayed brittle cracks between the mortar and bricks and resulted in larger displacement before failure than the original brick. The triplet test results confirmed that the bonding strength of the retrofit specimens also increased. The application of HSC and Cast was found to restrain the occurrence of brittle failure effectively and delayed the collapse of masonry wall structures.

In this study, the generalized intensity measure (IM) named I_Npg is analyzed. The recently proposed proxy of the spectral shape named N_pg is the base of this intensity measure, which is similar to the traditional N_p based on the spectral shape in terms of pseudo-acceleration; however, in this case the new generalized intensity measure can be defined through other types of spectral shapes such as those obtained with velocity, displacement, input energy, inelastic parameters and so on. It is shown that this IM is able to increase the efficiency in the prediction of nonlinear behavior of structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. For this work, the efficiency of two particular cases (based on acceleration and velocity) of the generalized I_Npg to predict the peak floor acceleration demands on steel frames under 30 earthquake ground motions with respect to the traditional spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration Sa(T₁) is compared. Additionally, a 3D reinforced concrete building and an irregular steel frame is used as a basis for comparison. It is concluded that the use of velocity and acceleration spectral shape increase the efficiency to predict peak floor accelerations in comparison with the traditional and most used around the world spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration.

최근 들어 여러 테러에 의한 폭발사건에서 유발된 위험상황에서 보듯이 폭발에 의한 인명피해나 시설물의 손상은 우리가 고려하는 재해수준을 넘는 비참한 결과를 항상 수반한다. 하지만 폭발에 대한 구조물의 설계는 그 연구나 대책이 상당히 미비한 실정이다. 이에 미국건물설계기준(UBC94)을 바탕으로 내진설계(Welded Moment Resistant Frame)된 10층 건물의 폭발에 대한 해석적 모델을 제공하고자 한다. 현재 폭발하중의 정량적인 결과는 미국 육군(U.S.Department of Army)에서 개발된 경험적 방법에 기반을 둔 프로그램을 통해 폭간거리에 따른 하중의 크기와 분포를 알 수 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 폭원의 성격은 반구형 표면 폭발(Hemispherical Surface Burst)의 경우를 사용하였으며, 또한 선형 및 비선형 시간 이력해석을 통해 건물의 변위, 상대변위, 요구/수행비 및 비선형 거동에 대한 해석적 결과를 제공하였다. 또한 현재 사용되고 있는 내진기준(FEMA356)에 적용하여 소성힌지의 거동을 통해 폭발에 대한 건물의 성능수준을 예상하였다.

Seismic retrofitting of existing buildings and design of earth-quake resistant buildings are important issues associated with earthquake-prone zones. Use of metallic-yielding dampers as an energy dissipation system is an acceptable method for controlling damages in structures and improving their seismic performance. In this study, the optimal distribution of dampers for reducing the seismic response of steel frames with multi-degrees freedom is presented utilizing the uniform distribution of deformations. This has been done in a way that, the final configuration of dampers in the frames lead to minimum weight while satisfying the performance criteria. It is shown that such a structure has an optimum seismic performance, in which the maximum structure capacity is used. Then the genetic algorithm which is an evolutionary optimization method is used for optimal arrangement of the steel dampers in the structure. In continuation for specifying the optimal accurate response, the local search algorithm based on the gradient concept has been selected. In this research the introduced optimization methods are used for optimal retrofitting in the moment-resisting frame with inelastic behavior and initial weakness in design. Ultimately the optimal configuration of dampers over the height of building specified and by comparing the results of the uniform deformation method with those of the genetic algorithm, the validity of the uniform deformation method in terms of accuracy, Time Speed Optimization and the simplicity of the theory have been proven.

During an earthquake, steel frame columns can be subjected to high axial forces combined with inelastic rotation demand resulting from story drift. Generally, the whole beam or component can be represented with one element. In elasto-plastic analysis, subdivision is necessary if the plastic deformation occurs within two ends of beams. If effects of the joint panel are necessarily considered in the analysis, the joint panel should be represented with an independent element. It is a special element to represent the shear deformation of the joint panel in the beam-column connection zone. Several analytical models for panel zone (PZ) behavior exist, in terms of shear force-shear distortion relationships. Among these models, the Krawinkler PZ model is the most popular one which is used in the AISC code. Some studies have pointed out that Krawinkler's model gives good results for the range of thin to medium column flanges thickness. This paper, introduces a new model to estimate the response of shear force-shear distortion for the PZ including column axial force. The model is applicable to both thin and thick column flange. To achieve an appropriate PZ mathematical model first, the effects of PZ strength and stiffness on connection response are parametrically studied using finite element models. More than one thousand and four-hundred beam-column connections are included in the parametric study, with varied parameters; then based on analytical results a simple mathematical model is presented. A comparison between the results of proposed method herein with FE analyses shows the average error especially in thick column flange is significantly reduced which demonstrates the accuracy, efficiency, and simplicity of the proposed model.

This paper summarizes results of a comprehensive analytical study aimed at evaluating the influence of strong ground motion duration on residual displacement demands of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. For that purpose, two sets of 20 earthquake ground motions representative of short-duration and long-duration records were considered in this investigation. While the influence of strong ground motion duration was evaluated through constant-strength residual displacement ratios, $C_r$, computed from the nonlinear response of elastoplastic SDOF systems, its effect on the amplitude and height-wise distribution of residual drift demands in MDOF systems was studied from the response of three one-bay two-dimensional generic frame models. In this investigation, an inelastic ground motion intensity measure was employed to scale each record, which allowed reducing the record-to-record variability in the estimation of residual drift demands. From the results obtained in this study, it was found that long strong-motion duration records might trigger larger median $C_r$ ratios for SDOF systems having short-to-medium period of vibration than short strong-motion duration records. However, taking into account the large record-to-record variability of $C_r$, it was found that strong motion duration might not be statistically significant for most of the combinations of period of vibration and levels of lateral strength considered in this study. In addition, strong motion duration does not have a significant influence on the amplitude of peak residual drift demands in MDOF systems, but records having long strong-motion duration tend to increase residual drift demands in the upper stories of long-period generic frames.

대부분 강구조 및 철근콘크리트 구조물은 탄소성 거동에 의해 극한강도가 지배된다. 비록 평상시에는 탄성 범위를 초과하는 진폭(振幅)이 발생하지 않지만 심각한 폭발이나 지진하중과 같은 극단적인 경우가 발생할 때, 엔지니어는 구조물에 영구적인 손상을 줄 수 있는 상황들을 접하게 된다. 이러한 상태 평가를 위해 본 연구는 폭발 등의 극한하중에 특성에 의해 발생되는 구조물의 동적거동을 분석하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 극한진동 특성을 분석하기 위해 비선형 유한요소프로그램(ATENA2D, FRANC2DL)을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 해석결과, 평상시와 횡하중시의 균열은 발생 위치와 양태가 매우 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 초기 손상균열이 있는 RC라멘의 보에 단면형상과 기하학적 형상비 변화를 고려하여 균열각의 변화를 분석하였으며 이를 통해 동적 횡하중 작용에 의한 피해여부를 판단할 수 있었다.

A vast amount of experimental and analytical research has been conducted related to the seismic behavior and performance of concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) columns. This research has resulted in a wealth of information on the component behavior. However, analytical and experimental data for structural systems with CFT columns is limited, and the well-known behavior of steel or concrete structures is assumed valid for designing these systems. This paper presents the development of an analytical model for nonlinear analysis of composite moment resisting frame (CFT-MRF) systems with CFT columns and steel wide-flange (WF) beams under seismic loading. The model integrates component models for steel WF beams, CFT columns, connections between CFT columns and WF beams, and CFT panel zones. These component models account for nonlinear behavior due to steel yielding and local buckling in the beams and columns, concrete cracking and crushing in the columns, and yielding of panel zones and connections. Component tests were used to validate the component models. The model for a CFT-MRF considers second order geometric effects from the gravity load bearing system using a lean-on column. The experimental results from the testing of a four-story CFT-MRF test structure are used as a benchmark to validate the modeling procedure. An analytical model of the test structure was created using the modeling procedure and imposed-displacement analyses were used to reproduce the tests with the analytical model of the test structure. Good agreement was found at the global and local level. The model reproduced reasonably well the story shear-story drift response as well as the column, beam and connection moment-rotation response, but overpredicted the inelastic deformation of the panel zone.
