Applying nonlinear statistical analysis methods in estimating the performance of structures in earthquakes is strongly considered these days. This is due to the methods' simplicity, timely lower cost and reliable estimation in seismic responses in comparison with time-history nonlinear dynamic analysis. Among nonlinear methods, simplified to be incorporated in the future guidelines, Modal Pushover Analysis, known by the abbreviated name of MPA, simply models nonlinear behavior of structures; and presents a very proper estimation of nonlinear dynamic analysis using lateral load pattern appropriate to the mass. Mostly, two kinds of connecting joints, 'hinge' and 'rigid', are carried out in different type of steel structures. However, it should be highly considered that nominal hinge joints usually experience some percentages of fixity and nominal rigid connections do not employ totally rigid. Therefore, concerning the importance of these structures and the significant flexibility effect of connections on force distribution and elements deformation, these connections can be considered as semi-rigid with various percentages of fixity. Since it seems, the application and implementation of MPA method has not been studied on moment-resistant steel frames with semi rigid connections, this research focuses on this topic and issue. In this regard several rigid and semi-rigid steel bending frames with different percentages of fixity are selected. The structural design is performed based on weak beam and strong column. Followed by that, the MPA method is used as an approximated method and Nonlinear Response History Analysis (NL-RHA) as the exact one. Studying the performance of semi-rigid frames in height shows that MPA technique offers reasonably reliable results in these frames. The methods accuracy seems to decrease, when the number of stories increases and does decrease in correlation with the semi-rigidity percentages. This generally implies that the method can be used as a proper device in seismic estimation of different types of low and mid-rise buildings with semi-rigid connections.

본 연구는 예압 가새로써 내진 보강된 RC 골조의 보강 효과를 3차원적으로 조사함이 그 목적이다. 이를 위해, 먼저 4층 규모의 RC 골조에 극한 하중을 가한 후 예압 가새를 이용하여 보강하되 보강 위치에 따라 3경우로 나누어 해석을 수행해보았다. 해석 방법으로써, 본 연구자가 앞서 행한 연구 결과에 의해 정적 붕괴 해석법이 비선형 동적 시간 이력 해석법의 대안책으로 훌륭히 쓰일 수 있음을 밝힌바 있기 때문에 정적 붕괴 해석만 적용하여 보강 전의 해석 및 보강 후의 영향에 대해서 평가하였다. 그 결과, 외주부에 설치한 가새가 커다란 비틀림 저항을 발휘했으며 예압 가새로 인해 골조에 균등한 강성 변화가 유도되어 급격한 파괴가 발생하지 않는 효과를 보였다.

이 연구의 목적은 감쇠시스템 설계 시 ASCE7-10의 등가선형해석과 응답스펙트럼해석의 설계절차 및 비선형해석에 간략화된 등가프레임모델을 제안하여, 선형 및 비선형 해석 시 소모되는 시간을 줄이고 해석 조건 및 변수조건을 다양화함으로 감쇠시스템 적용 시 효과를 합리적으로 검토하는데 있다. 이 연구에서는 최근에 이슈화 되고 있는 공동주택의 감쇠시스템 도입과 관련하여 ASCE7-10의 성능기반 내진설계를 근간으로 내진성능평가 및 감쇠시스템 설계를 비선형응답이력 해석을 통하여 수행하였다. 특히 공동주택 대상건물을 건축구조기준의 75% 지진력 수준으로 최적화 설계 시 내진성능평가를 수행하여 안전성을 검토하는 한편, 기준에 제시된 지진력 수준으로 내진설계 시 골조물량을 비교 하여 경제성을 검토하였다. 또한, 대상건물에 외부제어 이력형 감쇠장치를 적용 시 제안한 프레임 등가모델을 이용하여 ASCE7-10 감쇠시스템 설계를 수행하였으며 Full Scale Model에서 그 제어효과를 검증하였다.

Steel shear wall possesses priority over many of the current lateral load-bearing systems due to reasons like higher elastic stiffness, desirable ductility and energy absorption, convenience in construction and implementation technology, and economic criteria. Besides these advantages, this system causes increase in the dimensions of other structural elements due to its high stiffness as one of its intrinsic characteristics. One of the methods for stiffness reduction is perforating the wall panel and creating openings in the wall that can also be used as windows or ducts in buildings service period. The aim of the present study is probing the appropriate geometric shape and location of opening to fulfil economic criterion plus technical and seismic design criteria. In the present research, a number of possible while reasonable opening shapes and locations are defined in various sizes for some steel shear wall specimens. The specimens are modelled in ABAQUS finite elements software and analyzed using nonlinear pushover analysis. Finally, the analyses' results are reported as force-displacement diagrams and the strength, the initial stiffness and the energy absorption are calculated for all specimens and compared together. The obtained results show that both shape and location of the openings affect the seismic parameters of the shear wall. The specimens in which the openings are further from the center and closer to the columns possess higher stiffness and strength while the specimens in which the openings are closer to the center show more considerable changes in their seismic parameters in response to increase in opening area.
