This paper presents a precise and stable time integration method for dynamic analysis of vibration or multibody systems. A total system is divided into several subsystems and their responses are calculated separately, while the coupling effect is treated equivalently as constant force during time steps. By using iterative procedure to improve equivalent coupling forces, a precise and stable solution is obtained. Some examples such as a seismic response and multibody analyses were carried out to demonstrate its usefulness.

Seismic collapse analysis requires efficient and automated method to perform thousands of time history analyses. The paper introduced the advantages of speed and convergence property of explicit method, provided a few techniques to accelerate speed of calculation and developed an automated procedure for collapse assessment, which combines the strong capacity of commercial explicit finite element software and the flexible, intelligent specialties of control program written in FORTRAN language aiming at collapse analysis, so that tedious and heavy work of collapse analysis based on FEMAP695 can be easily implemented and resource of calculation can be made the best use of. All the key commands of control program are provided to help analyzers and engineers to cope with collapse assessment conveniently.

Fragility analysis is an effective tool that is frequently used for seismic risk assessment of bridges. There are three different approaches to derive a fragility curve: experimental, empirical and analytical. Both experimental and empirical methods to derive fragility curve are based on past earthquake reports and expert opinions which are not suitable for all bridges. Therefore, analytical fragility analysis becomes important. Nonlinear time history analysis is commonly used which is the most reliable method for determining probabilistic demand models. In this study, to determine the probabilistic demand models of bridges, time history analyses were performed considering both material and geometrical nonlinearities. Serviceability limit states for three different service velocities were considered as a performance goal. Also, support displacements, component yielding and collapse limits were taken into account. Both serviceability and component fragility were derived by using maximum likely hood methods. Finally, the seismic performance and critical members of the bridge were probabilistically determined and clearly presented.

This study is intended to investigate the seismic responses of bridge structures considering site effects. The site effects in the seismic analysis of bridge structures were classified into two parts. At first, the seismic responses of the structures on each "soil profile types" of the code were evaluated in accordance with code-specified method and compared with results of time-history analysis method. And next, as a second stage of the study, the responses of the two different soil with considerably different soil properties, even though they are classified to the same "soil profile types" of the code, were evaluated and compared each other. The first part of study is purposed to evaluate the applicability of code-specified method, while the other part is purposed to find the variance of the seismic responses from the different soil sites in the same soil profile types of the code. For the analysis, two major methods of the code, single-mode spectral anaysis and multi-mode spectral analysis, were used and the time-history analysis method which is expected to give more accurate responses was also used for the comparison purposes. For the time-history analysis, time-domain analysis technique of the lumped-mass model with frequency-independent soil springs and dampers was adopted and artificially generated spectra of the code was used as input motion. As the results of the study, the code specified methods for the seismic responses considering the site effects were verified to give the results in conservative side for the most of the cases. However, for the structures on the site with considerable flexibility, the responses of the bridge girders or deckplates by the code methods both in section forces and horizontal movement responses, may have much smaller values than the actual responses. Therefore, more detailed analysis considering the flexibility of the base soil may be required to have more reasonable results in girder responses.in girder responses.

'Stepped building' frames, with vertical geometric irregularity, are now increasingly encountered in modern urban constructions. This paper proposes a new approach to determine the lateral load pattern, considering the contributions from the higher modes, suitable for pushover analysis of stepped buildings. Also, a modification to the displacement coefficient method of ASCE/SEI 41-13 is proposed, based on nonlinear time history analysis of 78 stepped frames. When the newly proposed load pattern is combined with the modified displacement coefficient method, the target displacement for the stepped building frame is found to match consistently the displacement demand given by the time history analysis.

교량에 발생하는 응력이력은 교통류(traffic flow)의 성질에 따라 변하며, 교통류는 차종규성율, 차량중량, 차두시간간격(headway time)등에 따라 다르기 때문에 교량과 같은 휨부재에서 교통류에 의한 응력이력을 추정하기 위해서는 통계적 해석이 필요하며, 이것을 파괴역학에 적용함으로서 구조물의 잔존수명을 추정할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 1)교통류의 불규칙성을 해석하기 위하여 차종구성율, 차량중량, 차두시간간격등을 통계적으로 분석 2)실제 교량에서의 응력이력의 측정과 분석 3)차종구성율, 차량중량, 차두시간간격을 확률변수로한 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션에 의한 응력이력의 재현 4)실측 응력이력과 시뮬레이션한 응력이력의 비교 5)대상교량의 감소계수(reduction factor)의 계산 6)지간길이 변화에 따른 응력범위발생빈도의 비교등을 행하였다. 그 결과 시뮬레이션에 의한 응력이력 추정방법과 구조물의 잔존피로수명 예측에 필요한 기본적인 모형화된 응력이력을 제시하였다.

일본과 같은 지진 빈발국은 CFRD의 경우 지진시 댐제체 상류부의 Face Slab에 응력이 집중하여 파괴되는 경우를 대부분 상정하여 내진안정성을 평가한다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 현재까지 이에 대한 명확한 해석방법이 확립되어 있지 않다. 본 논문은 CFRD에 대하여 등가정적해석 및 동적해석 수행 후 진동대시험과 비교하여 그 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 등가정적해석은 진도법, 수정진도법, Newmark법을 적용하였고 동적해석은 주파수응답해석, 시간이력 해석법을 적용하였다. 해석결과 해석 방법별 편차는 발생하나 가속도 및 변위의 발생경향은 진동대시험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

Objectives : This study aims to increase efficiency of the prescription similarity analysis method that uses drug composition ratio. Methods : The controlled experiment compared result generation time, generated data quantity, and accuracy of results between previous and new analysis method on the 12,598 formulas and 61 prescription groups. Results : The control group took 346 seconds on average and generated 768,478 results, while the test group took 24 seconds and generated 241,739 results. The test group adopted a selective calculation method that only used overlapping data between two formulas instead of analyzing all number of cases. It simplified the data processing process, reducing the quantity of data that is required to be processed, leading to better system speed, as fast as 14.47 times more than previous analysis method with equal results. Conclusions : Efficiency for similarity analysis could be improved by reducing data span and simplifying the calculation processes.

The purpose of this study is to assess the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete pier using ductility demand-based seismic design method and nonlinear earthquake analysis. A computer program named MIDAS/Civil(MIDAS IT,2009) for the analysis of the reinforced concrete pier was used. The bridge pier was designed by the ductility demand-based seismic design. In addition, a seismic performance was evaluated through both capacity spectrum method and nonlinear time history method. In order to determine the seismic performance of the bridge pier, the maximum response values from the capacity spectrum method and nonlinear time history analysis were compared each other.

Time history analyses have been preferred commonly in earthquake engineering area to determine earthquake performances of structures in recent years. Advances in computer technology and structural analysis have led to common usage of time history analyses. Eurocode 8 allows the use of real earthquake records as an input for linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures. However, real earthquake records with the desired characteristics sometimes may not be found, for example depending on soil classes, in this case artificial and synthetic earthquake records can be used for seismic analyses rather than real records. Selected earthquake records should be scaled to a code design spectrum to reduce record to record variability in structural responses of considered structures. So, scaling of earthquake records is one of the most important procedures of time history analyses. In this paper, four real earthquake records are scaled to Eurocode 8 design spectrums by using SESCAP (Selection and Scaling Program) based on time domain scaling method and developed by using MATLAB, GUI software, and then scaled and real earthquake records are used for linear time history analyses of a six-storied building. This building is modeled as spatial by SAP2000 software. The objectives of this study are to put basic procedures and criteria of selecting and scaling earthquake records in a nutshell, and to compare the effects of scaled earthquake records on structural response with the effects of real earthquake records on structural response in terms of record to record variability of structural response. Seismic analysis results of building show that record to record variability of structural response caused by scaled earthquake records are fewer than ones caused by real earthquake records.
