철근콘크리트 건축물에서 비내력벽(Masonry Infill Walls)은 내부 칸막이벽이나 중저층 규모의 건물 외벽에 흔히 사용된다. 그렇지만 대부분의 경우에 비내력벽은 비구조체이므로 구조설계시 건물의 모형화에서 무시된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비내력벽을 보편화된 모형화 방법인 등가의 대각 압축 스트럿(Equivalent Diagonal Strut)으로 고려하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 저층 철근콘크리트 건축물의 전체적인 지진거동의 양상을 평가하고자 하였다. 해석결과로 비내력벽을 고려하면 시스템의 추가적인 강도 및 강성을 확보하여 층간변위비를 줄일 수 있으나 진동주기가 짧아져서 설계단계에서 고려한 지진하중보다 큰 하중을 받게 된다. 연약층이 있는 모델의 경우에는 기둥에 소성거동이 집중됨을 알 수 있으며 부분적인 붕괴가 전체 시스템의 붕괴 원인의 가능성을 가진다.

How to study Southeast Asia (SEA)? The need to explore and identify methodologies for studying SEA are inherent in its multifaceted subject matter. At a minimum, the region's rich cultural diversity inhibits both the articulation of decisive defining characteristics and the training of scholars who can write with confidence beyond their specialisms. Consequently, the challenges of understanding the region remain and a consensus regarding the most effective approaches to studying its history, identity and future seem quite unlikely. Furthermore, "Area Studies" more generally, has proved to be a less attractive frame of reference for burgeoning scholarly trends. This paper will propose a new tool to help address these challenges. Even though the science of artificial intelligence (AI) is in its infancy, it has already yielded new approaches to many commercial, scientific and humanistic questions. At this point, AI has been used to produce news, generate better smart phones, deliver more entertainment choices, analyze earthquakes and write fiction. The time has come to explore the possibility that AI can be put at the service of the study of SEA. The paper intends to lay out what would be required to develop SEABOT. This instrument might exist as a robot on the web which might be called upon to make the study of SEA both broader and more comprehensive. The discussion will explore the financial resources, ownership and timeline needed to make SEABOT go from an idea to a reality. SEABOT would draw upon artificial neural networks (ANNs) to mine the region's "Big Data", while synthesizing the information to form new and useful perspectives on SEA. Overcoming significant language issues, applying multidisciplinary methods and drawing upon new yields of information should produce new questions and ways to conceptualize SEA. SEABOT could lead to findings which might not otherwise be achieved. SEABOT's work might well produce outcomes which could open up solutions to immediate regional problems, provide ASEAN planners with new resources and make it possible to eventually define and capitalize on SEA's "soft power". That is, new findings should provide the basis for ASEAN diplomats and policy-makers to develop new modalities of cultural diplomacy and improved governance. Last, SEABOT might also open up avenues to tell the SEA story in new distinctive ways. SEABOT is seen as a heuristic device to explore the results which this instrument might yield. More important the discussion will also raise the possibility that an AI-driven perspective on SEA may prove to be even more problematic than it is beneficial.

The fundamental period of vibration is one of the most critical parameters in the analysis and design of structures, as it depends on the distribution of stiffness and mass within the structure. Therefore, building codes propose empirical equations based on the observed periods of actual buildings during seismic events and ambient vibration tests. However, despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of the structure, causing significant changes in the fundamental period, most of these equations do not account for the presence of infills walls in the structure. Typically, these equations are dependent on both the structural system type and building height. The different values between the empirical and analytical periods are due to the elimination of non-structural effects in the analytical methods. Therefore, the presence of non-structural elements, such as infill panels, should be carefully considered. Another critical factor influencing the fundamental period is the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). Most seismic building design codes generally consider SSI to be beneficial to the structural system under seismic loading, as it increases the fundamental period and leads to higher damping of the system. Recent case studies and postseismic observations suggest that SSI can have detrimental effects, and neglecting its impact could lead to unsafe design, especially for structures located on soft soil. The current research focuses on investigating the effect of infill panels on the fundamental period of moment-resisting and eccentrically braced steel frames while considering the influence of soil-structure interaction. To achieve this, the effects of building height, infill wall stiffness, infill openings and soil structure interactions were studied using 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18-story 3-D frames. These frames were modeled and analyzed using SeismoStruct software. The calculated values of the fundamental period were then compared with those obtained from the proposed equation in the seismic code. The results indicate that changing the number of stories and the soil type significantly affects the fundamental period of structures. Moreover, as the percentage of infill openings increases, the fundamental period of the structure increases almost linearly. Additionally, soil-structure interaction strongly affects the fundamental periods of structures, especially for more flexible soils. This effect is more pronounced when the infill wall stiffness is higher. In conclusion, new equations are proposed for predicting the fundamental periods of Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) and Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) buildings. These equations are functions of various parameters, including building height, modulus of elasticity, infill wall thickness, infill wall percentage, and soil types.

한반도의 70%는 산지로 구성되어 있으며, 서해와 남해의 수심은 상대적으로 얕은 편이다. 따라서, 공업단지, 주거단지, 항만 및 공항 부지를 위한 대규모 간척사업이 시행되고 있다. 매립지역의 일반적인 문제는 지반이 연약하여 지지력이 부족할 뿐만 아니라 상당한 침하가 발생된다는 것이다. 중공블록은 중·저층 아파트 또는 단층의 공장건물을 건설하기 위해 계획된 느슨한 연약기초 지반보강을 위해 사용된다. 최근 4.0~5.0의 강도를 가진 지진이 서쪽과 남동쪽 해안지역을 따라 발생하고 있다. Lee (2019)는 정적 지지력시험을 통해 얕은 기초보강 중공블록의 장점에 대하여 연구하였다. 이 연구에서 블록 내부에 쇄석으로 채움된 보강된 모래지반의 중공블록 동적거동은 진동대 1000 mm × 1000 mm 시험을 통해 연구하였다. 3가지 지진파인 Ofunato, Hachinohe, Artificial 지진파와 2가지 가속도(0.154g, 0.22g)를 진동대 시험에 적용하였다. 중공블록으로 보강된 지반 위의 구조물 수평변위는 LVDT를 사용하여 측정하였다. 중공블록에 의한 지반보강 효율을 평가하기 위하여 지반의 상대밀도를 45%, 65%, 85%로 각각 구성하였으며, 수평변위를 측정하고 한계수평변위 0.015h(건축물 내진등급기준, 2019)와 비교하였다. 중공블록으로 보강된 모래지반에 대한 진동대 시험 결과에 기반해서 벌집 모양의 중공블록은 블록내부에 쇄석 채움으로서 큰 구속력을 가지며, 중공블록의 내부 및 외부를 따라 발생하는 관입저항력으로 인한 큰 주면마찰력을 갖는 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 모든 요소들은 진동대 시험 중에 수평변위를 상당이 줄이는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 중공블록 보강 지반은 지진파와 가속도에 상관없이 중·저층 건물의 얕은기초 보강공법으로 매우 우수함이 입증되었다.
