Fully rigid floor diaphragm is one of the main assumptions that are widely used in common practices due to its simple application. However, determining the exact degree of diaphragms flexibility cannot be easily accomplished without finite element modeling, which is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. Therefore, it is always possible that apparently rigid diaphragms, based on prescriptive limitations of seismic codes, experience some degrees of flexibility during the earthquakes. Since diaphragm flexibility has more uncertainties in asymmetric-plan structures, this study focuses on errors resulting from probable floor diaphragm flexibility of torsionally restrained structures. The analytical models used in this study were single-story buildings with asymmetric plan and RC shear walls. Although floor system is not considered explicitly, a wide range of considered diaphragm flexibility, from fully rigid to quite flexible, allows the results to be generalizable to a lot of lateral load resisting systems as well as floor systems. It has been shown that in addition to previously known effects of diaphragm flexibility, presence of orthogonal side elements during design procedure with rigid diaphragm assumption and rapid reduction in their absorbed forces can also be an important source to increase errors due to flexibility. Accordingly, from the obtained results the authors suggest designers to consider the possibility of diaphragm flexibility and its adverse effects, especially in torsionally restrained systems in their common designs.

The floor response spectrum (FRS) is used to evaluate the seismic demand of equipment installed in nuclear power plants. In the conventional design practice of NPP structure, the FRS is simplified using the lumped-mass stick model (LMSM), assuming the floor slab as a rigid diaphragm. In the present study, to study the variation of seismic response in a floor, the FRSs at different locations were generated by 3-D finite element model, and the response was compared to that of the rigid diaphragm model. The result showed that the FRS significantly varied due to the large opening in a floor, which was not captured by the rigid diaphragm model. Based on the result, seismic fragility analysis was performed for the anchorage of a heat exchanger, to investigate the effect of location-dependent FRS disparity on the high confidence low probability of failure (HCLPF).

본 연구에서는 조립질의 퇴적층이 깊게 분포되어 있고 지하연속벽과 지반앵커로 구성된 굴착현장을 선정하여 흙막이 벽계와 배면지반의 수평변위 비교, 벽체 내부에 깊이별로 설치된 토압계와 앵커 두부에 설치된 축력계로 부터의 토압과 축력의 변화등을 정밀하게 평가분석 하였다. 분석결과 강성벽계의 수평변위는 벽체 내부에 설치된 지중경사계로 측정된 결과가 보다 합리적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 단계별 굴착에 따른 토압의 변화를 분석한 결과, 굴착이 진행됨에 따라 지반앵커의 선행 긴장력으로 인해 배면 토압은 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 지하연속벽이 강성 벽체지만 퇴적층이 깊고 굴착 깊이가 깊은 경우에는 연성벽체에서 경험적으로 평가된 경험토압과 유사한 결과가 나타남을 확인하였다.

Recently, many apartment buildings in the shear wall system often has pilotis in the lower story to meet the architectural needs. If the lateral force resisting system consists of shear walls supported by columns and beams. the discontinuity at the lowest level with pilotis results in the vertical irregularity with strength and stiffness. So, there are needs to be considered tile analysis and design about column and beam bellow shear walls and the behavior and stress condition of structure by stiffness change being generated at shear walls. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavior of shear wall structures with pilotis using the floors modeled as rigid diaphragm or semi rigid diaphragm. Through analyses, after estimating values of the story drift, natural period, stress condition of shear walls and the forces of column, we inferred how the behavior of shear wall structures with pilotis was influenced by the floor stiffness.

Three numerical analysis carried out for the design of a diaphragm wall were examined by the results of field observation data. Utilizing the wall stiffness, supporting system and construction sequence, the relative merits of those factors on the analysis of diaphragm wall have been investigated and their effects are compared tilth the observed behaviour of the wall. The predicted bending moment and wall displacement by elasto-plastic method agreed well with the observed values. The rigid slab supported system (i.e Top-Down Method) found to be the most effective way of controlling ground movement.

This study presents an effective stiffness-based optimal technique to consider floor rigid diaphragm action and a technique to evaluate the structural behavior characteristics and efficiency for tall shear wall outrigger system subject to horizontal loads. To this end, isoparametric plane stress element with rotational stiffness is used for shear wall element and stiffness gradient is calculated. Also, the approximation concept to solve effectively the large scaled problems, member grouping technique and resizing technique are considered. To verify the effectiveness and usefulness of this technique, the efficient evaluation method for three types of 50 story model with core and outrigger system is presented.

Due to the recent increase in domestic seismic activity and the proliferation of PC structure buildings, there is a pressing need for a fundamental study to develop and revise the design criteria for Half-PC slabs. In this study, we propose criteria for determining the rigid diaphragm based on the aspect ratio of Half-PC slabs and investigate the structural effects based on the presence of chord element installation. This study concluded that Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 3.0 or lower can be designed as rigid diaphragms. When chord elements are installed, it is possible to design Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 4.0 or lower as rigid diaphragms. In addition, the increase in the aspect ratio of the Half-PC slab leads to a decrease in the in-plane stiffness of the structure, confirming that the reduction effect of the maximum displacement in force direction (𝜟_max ) due to the increase in wall stiffness is predominantly influenced by flexibility.

초대형 부유식 구조물의 경우 지진하중보다 파랑하중에 의한 영향이 크게 작용하기 때문에 파랑하중에 의한 하부부체의 변형이 상부구조물에 부가모멘트를 발생시키는 요인이 된다. 이러한 부가모멘트를 저감시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 강접합과 핀접합 사이의 거동을 하는 반강접 접합부를 적용하였다. 초대형 부유식 구조물의 상부구조체에 반강접 접합부를 적용할 경우 보의 부가모멘트를 감소시킬 수 있으며, 더욱 경제적인 설계가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 4경간 3층 예제구조물에 대하여 파랑하중에 의한 영향을 분석하고, 구조물의 반강접 접합부 적용에 따른 효율성을 검토하였다. 접합부는 각형강관 외-다이아프램 접합부를 적용하였으며 파랑하중에 의한 동적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 시간 이력해석을 수행하였다. 초대형 부유식 구조물의 상부구조물의 경우 파랑하중에 의해서 정하중의 최대모멘트 응답이 강접 구조물에서는 $33\%$ 증가하였으며, 스프링 모델을 이용한 반강접 구조물에서는 $26\%$ 증가하였다.
