Two approximate methods based on mechanism analysis suitable for seismic assessment/design of structural concrete are reviewed. The methods involve use of equal energy concept or equal displacement concept along with appropriate patterns of inelastic deformations to relate structure's maximum lateral displacement to member and plastic deformations. One of these methods (Clough's method), defined here as a ductility-based approach, is examined in detail and a modification for its improvement is suggested. The modification is based on estimation of maximum inelastic displacement using inelastic design response spectra (IDRS) as an alternative to using equal energy concept. The IDRS for demand displacement ductilities are developed for a single degree of freedom model subjected to several accelerograms as functions of response modification factor (R), damping ratios, and strain hardening. The suggested revised methodology involves estimation of R as the ratio of elastic strength demand to code level demand, and determination of design base shear using $R_{design}{\leq}R$ and maximum displacement, determination of plastic displacement using IDRS and subsequent local plastic deformations. The methodology is demonstrated for the case of a 10-story precast wall panel building.

강진을 고려한 지진설계 규준은 약진지역에서는 불필요한 경제적 손실을 가져을 수 있고, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 성능기준 설계가 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서 중요하다는 것이 인식되었다. 이 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 놓인 단자유도계의 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 해석을 지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대지진가속도를 0.07g와 0.11g로 조정한 11개 약진에 대해 수행하였다. 지진응답해석은 지반-구조물체계에 대해 유사 3차원 동적해석 프로그램으로 암반에 지진기록을 입력하여 한 단계에 일괄적으로 수행하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 고정지반이나 선형지반을 가정한 지진응답 스펙트럼은 구조물-지반체계의 실제적인 거동을 보여주지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서는 지진규준에 정해진 일상적인 설계절차에 다라서 수행하는 것보다 다른 성질을 가진 여러 지반에 대해서 성능기준 지진설계를 수행하는 것이 필요하다. 약진을 받는 연약지반의 비선형성도 입력지진동을 증폭시켜 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 스펙트럼에 심하게 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 현상은 특히 탄성 응답스펙트럼에서 두드러졌다.

The earthquake resistant design concept allows the nonlinear behavior of structures under the design earthquake. Therefore the response spectrum method provided in most codes introduces the response modification factors to consider the nonlinear behavior in the design process. For bridges, the response modification factors are given according to the ductility as well as the redundancy of piers. In this study, among influence factors on the nonlinear seismic behavior, the randomness of artificial accelerograms simulated with different durations, the pier ductility represented by the inelastic behavior characteristic curve and the regularity represented by pier heights are selected. The influence of such factor on the seismic behavior is investigated by comparing response modification factors calculated with the nonlinear time step analysis.

To evaluate seismic performance of reinforced concrete piers two procedures for capacity spectrum method are presented. The capacity spectrum procedures include the reduction factor-ductility-period($R_{\mu}-{\mu}-T$)relationship in order to construct the inelastic demand spectra from the elastic demand spectra. Application of the procedures are illustrated by example analysis. Maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are, on overall, smaller than those by the inelastic time history analysis.

In this paper, seismic energy response of inelastic steel structures under earthquake excitations is investigated. For this purpose, a numerical procedure based on nonlinear dynamic analysis is developed by considering material, geometric and connection nonlinearities. Material nonlinearity is modeled by the inversion of Ramberg-Osgood equation. Nonlinearity caused by the interaction between the axial force and bending moment is also defined considering stability functions, while the geometric nonlinearity caused by axial forces is described using geometric stiffness matrix. Cyclic behaviour of steel connections is taken into account by employing independent hardening model. Dynamic equation of motion is solved by Newmark's constant acceleration method in the time history domain. Energy response analysis of space frames is performed by using this proposed numerical method. Finally, for the first time, the distribution of the different energy types versus time at the duration of the earthquake ground motion is obtained where in addition error analysis for the numerical solutions is carried out and plotted depending on the relative error calculated as a function of energy balance versus time.

구조물의 내진설계는 일반적으로 설계시방서의 스펙트럼을 이용하여 이루어지고 있다. 각 시방서에서 제시된 스펙트럼은 여러지역에서 발생한 지진파들을 최대 지반가속도로 정규화하여 평탄한 응답을 구하였으며, 구조물의 특성에 따라 증감하여 사용하고 있다. 구조물은 지진하중에 의하여 소성변형을 보이고 있으며, 이러한 구조물의 소성변형 능력을 고려하여 설계시방서에서는 응답수정계수를 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 응답수정계수는 모든 구조물의 고유진동주기에 대하여 일정한 값으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 각각의 지진파에 대하여 20개의 인공지진파을 작성하여 평탄한 응답스펙트럼을 구하였다. 구하여진 평균 응답 스펙트럼을 사용하여 구조물의 초기항복강도와 감쇠율의 효과를 측정하였으며, 회기분석을 통하여 내진설계시 각 구조물에 요구되는 변위연성도를 얻기 위한 강도계수를 추정하였다. 또한 현재 사용되고 있는 설계시방서의 응답수정계수를 구조물 고유진동주기의 함수로 나타내었다.

Modern seismic codes rely on performance-based seismic design methodology which requires that the structures withstand inelastic deformation. Many studies have focused on the inelastic deformation ratio evaluation (ratio between the inelastic and elastic maximum lateral displacement demands) for various inelastic spectra. This paper investigates the inelastic response spectra through the ductility demand ${\mu}$, the yield strength reduction factor $R_y$, and the inelastic deformation ratio. They depend on the vibration period T, the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, the peak ground acceleration (PGA), and the normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$ (ratio of yield strength coefficient divided by the PGA). A new inelastic deformation ratio $C_{\eta}$ is defined; it is related to the capacity curve (pushover curve) through the coefficient (${\eta}$) and the ratio (${\alpha}$) that are used as control parameters. A set of 140 real ground motions is selected. The structures are bilinear inelastic single degree of freedom systems (SDOF). The sensitivity of the resulting inelastic deformation ratio mean values is discussed for different levels of normalized yield strength coefficient. The influence of vibration period T, post-to-preyield stiffness ratio ${\alpha}$, normalized yield strength coefficient ${\eta}$, earthquake magnitude, ruptures distance (i.e., to fault rupture) and site conditions is also investigated. A regression analysis leads to simplified expressions of this inelastic deformation ratio. These simplified equations estimate the inelastic deformation ratio for structures, which is a key parameter for design or evaluation. The results show that, for a given level of normalized yield strength coefficient, these inelastic displacement ratios become non sensitive to none of the rupture distance, the earthquake magnitude or the site class. Furthermore, they show that the post-to-preyield stiffness has a negligible effect on the inelastic deformation ratio if the normalized yield strength coefficient is greater than unity.

비탄성 지진해석은 구조물-지반 체계의 비선형 거동 때문에 내진설계를 위해 필요하고, 합리적인 내진설계를 위해서 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 성능에 기준한 설계의 중요성도 인식되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 11개 중약진과 5개 강진 기록을 최대 가속도 0.075g, 0.15g, 0.2g와 0.3g로 조정하여 연약지반에 세워진 단자유도계에 대한 탄성과 비탄성 지진응답해석을 지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 수행하였다. 의사3차원 동적해석 프로그램을 사용하여 주파수 영역에서 지진하중을 암반에 작용시켜 구조물-지반 체계에 대한 지진응답해석을 한번에 수행하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 영향을 고려하는 것과 설계기준에 따라 내진설계를 하는 것보다는 여러 가지 지반조건을 고려하여 성능에 기준한 내진설계를 수행하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 약진에 의한 연약지반의 비선형성이 비선형 지반에 의한 지진파의 증폭 때문에 탄성과 비탄성 지진응답에 심하게 영향을 미쳤는데 특히 탄성지진응답에서 두드러졌다.

In this study, it is demonstrated that how the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion affects the response of the structure. Considering the general characteristic of Near Fault Ground Motion the characteristics of Near Fault Ground Motions is analysed by elastic response spectrums, and the inelastic response spectrum is evaluated with the ductility and the yield strength to consider the inelastic behavior which couldn't be simulated through the elastic response spectrum. The result of this study shows that the effect of Near Fault Ground Motion should be considered in the long period range of long span structures but the domestic seismic design code was developed based on Far Fault Ground Motions, so the effects of Near Fault Ground Motions, which is very serious especially in large structures with a long period, are not considered. Therefore, the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion has to be examined especially in the seismic performance evaluation of long period structure.
