The current paper investigates the effect of the seismic pounding of neighboring buildings on the response of structures isolated by Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing (TFPB). To this end, a symmetric three-dimensional single story building is modeled for analysis with two specified levels of top deck and base deck, to capture the seismic response of the base isolators and building's roof. Linear elastic springs with different level of gaps are employed to calculate the impact between the buildings. Nonlinear Dynamic Time History Analyses (NDTHA) are conducted for seismic evaluation. Also, five different sizes with four different sets of friction coefficients are assumed for base isolators to cover a whole range of base isolation systems with various geometry configurations and fundamental period. The results are investigated in terms of base shear, buildings' drift and top deck acceleration of the superstructure. The results also indicate the profound effect of the stiffness of the adjacent buildings on the value of the impact they impose to the superstructure. Also, in situations of potential pounding, the increment of the fundamental period of the TFPB base isolator could intensify the impact force up to nearly five-fold.

This study describes the development of innovative connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and super-elastic shape memory alloy components. The intent is to combine the recentering behavior provided by the shape memory alloys to reduce building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake with the excellent energy dissipation of the low-carbon steel. The analysis and design of structures requires that simple yet accurate models for the connection behavior be developed. The development of a simplified 2D spring connection model for cyclic loads from advanced 3D FE monotonic studies is described. The implementation of those models into non-linear frame analyses indicates hat the recentering systems will provide substantial benefits for smaller earthquakes and superior performance to all-welded moment frames for large earthquakes.

Tall buildings are categorized as important structures because of the large number of occupants and high construction costs. The choice of competent lateral load resisting systems in tall buildings is of crucial importance. Bracing systems have long been an economic and effective method for resisting lateral loads in steel structures. However, there are some potential adverse aspects to bracing systems such as the limitations they inflict on architectural plans, uplift forces and poor performances in compression. in order to eliminate the mentioned problems and for cost optimization, in this paper, six 20-story steel buildings and frames with different types of bracing, i.e., conventional, mega-scale and buckling-restrained bracing (BRB) were analyzed. Linear and modal push-over analyses were carried out. The results pointed out that Mega-Scale Bracing (MSB) system has significant superiority over the conventional bracing type. The MSB system is 25% more economic. Some other advantages of MSB include: up to 63% less drift ratio, up to 38% better performance in lateral displacement, up to 100% stiffer stories, and about 50% smaller uplift forces. Moreover, MSB equipped with BRB attests even a better seismic behavior in the aforementioned parameters.

댐퍼를 비롯한 대부분의 내진성능 향상 부재는 골조를 구성하는 주요구조부재가 소성상태에 진입한 다음 나타나는 층 강성 저하에 대한 대처가 없어 대지진 시 건물의 층 파괴를 방지하지 못할 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 논문은 건물의 주요부재가 탄성항복한 뒤에도 건물의 층 강성을 일정기간 유지시킬 수 있는 고강도강 내진성능 향상부재를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 다음과 같은 사실을 알 수 있다.

Conventionally, because it is difficult to control a ship in shallow water and because attempting to do so creates unwanted environmental effects, maneuvering ships in the harbor area for berthing is usually done with the assistance of tugboats. In this paper, we propose a new method for berthing ships automatically by using bow and stern thrusters. Specifically, a steering motion model of a ship is considered, and parameters in the equation are evaluated by the system identification technique. An optimal controller based on observations was designed from the linearization of the non-linear ship motion in the horizontal plane. It is used to reduce the uncertainty about the ship's dynamics and reduce measurement requirements. The performance of the controller was also analyzed for its robustness relative to avoiding disturbing the environment due to winds, currents, and wave-drift forces. Experiments were conducted to estimate the potential for identifying result and the design of the controller. Specifically, in this paper, the system modeling and tracking control approach are discussed based on a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) servo-system design.

Predictive demand and collapse fragility functions are two essential components of the probabilistic seismic demand analysis that are commonly developed based on statistics with enormous, costly and time consuming data gathering. Although this approach might be justified for research purposes, it is not appealing for practical applications because of its computational cost. Thus, in this paper, Bayesian regression-based demand and collapse models are proposed to eliminate the need of time-consuming analyses. The demand model developed in the form of linear equation predicts overall maximum inter-story drift of the lowto mid-rise regular steel moment resisting frames (SMRFs), while the collapse model mathematically expressed by lognormal cumulative distribution function provides collapse occurrence probability for a given spectral acceleration at the fundamental period of the structure. Next, as an application, the proposed demand and collapse functions are implemented in a seismic fragility analysis to develop fragility and consequently seismic demand curves of three example buildings. The accuracy provided by utilization of the proposed models, with considering computation reduction, are compared with those directly obtained from Incremental Dynamic analysis, which is a computer-intensive procedure.

The application of critical excitation method with displacement-based objective function for multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems is investigated. To this end, a new critical excitation method is developed to find the critical input motion of a MDOF system as a synthetic accelerogram. The upper bound of earthquake input energy per unit mass is considered as a new constraint for the problem, and its advantages are discussed. Considering this constraint, the critical excitation method is then used to generate synthetic accelerograms for MDOF models corresponding to three shear buildings of 10, 16, and 22 stories. In order to demonstrate the reliability of generated accelerograms to estimate dynamic response of the structures, three target ground motions with considerable level of energy contents are selected to represent "real critical excitation" of each model, and the method is used to re-generate these ground motions. Afterwards, linear dynamic analyses are conducted using these accelerograms along with the generated critical excitations, to investigate the key parameters of response including maximum displacement, maximum interstory drift, and maximum absolute acceleration of stories. The results show that the generated critical excitations can make an acceptable estimate of the structural behavior compared to the target ground motions. Therefore, the method can be reliably implemented to generate critical excitation of the structure when real one is not available.

C/A코드용 GPS 수신기를 단독으로 사용하여 위치를 구하는 경우 수신기에서 측정되는 위성-수신기간의 의사거리에 포함된 여러 오차요소플로 인하여 계산된 위치는 매우 큰 오차를 가진다는 것이 알려져 있다. 본 논문은 측정된 의사거리에 포함된 오차요소들의 정량적인 분석에 관한 것이며, 그 중에서 오차의 가장 큰 부분을 차지하면서 현재 발생과정이 공개되지 않고 있는 고의적인 오차인 SA(selective availability)의 특성을 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 방법이 제시되었다. 실험결과 측정된 도플러 편의량과 수신기시계 편의량의 변화로부터 SA의 효과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 전자에 대해서는 2차 다항식을 그리고 후자에 대해서는 선형식을 적용함으로써 측정값과 추정값간의 차를 보정하여 SA의 영향을 어느 정도 소거할 수 있음을 보였다. SA의 특성에 대한 분석은 주기성 자기상관함수를 적용하였으며, 그 결과 1차 Gauss-Markov프로세서의 인자들이 결정되었다.

동계 동해와 황해 표층 수십 메터에서 불안정 성층을 수반한 해양 온도 역전 현상이 종종 발생한다. 수온 역전층 발생의 원인으로서는 (1) 해면으로부터의 열손실을 보상하기 위한 해양 내부의 대류에 기인한 수온 역전, (2) 계절적 수온 변화가 하방으로 전달되면서 진폭과 위상이 바뀜에 따른 동계의 수온 역전, 그리고 (3) 냉수역에서 온수역으로 취송류가 이동함에 따른 수온 역전 등을 들 수 있는 바, 이 논문에서는 위의 세가지 수온 역전 발생 원인에 대하여 해석적인 모델을 제시한다.
