This paper deals with the equivalent shear modulus of the egg-box core. There are three approaches to obtain the equivalent shear modulus of core: a finite element analysis, an analytical study, and an empirical method. In this study, an 3-point bending test is used to evaluate the equivalent shear modulus of the Egg-Box core. As a result of the present work, the equivalent shear modulus of egg-box core at room temperature can be obtained. And this result is compared with the result of finite element analysis.

The capacity spectrum method (CSM) can be used to simply estimate the maximum displacement response of the nonlinear structures. To evaluate seismic performance of multi-span bridges using the CSM, the representative response for structural system should be derived from the multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) responses by using the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (ESDOF) method. The ESDOF method is used to calculate the capacity curve of the structural system from the pushover curves of all piers or structural members estimated by the pushover analysis. In order to evaluate an accuracy of ESDOF methods used in the CSM, the maximum displacements estimated by the CSM incorporating the several ESDOF methods are compared to those by the inelastic time-history analysis for several artificial earthquakes corresponding to the design spectrum.

The Finite element modelling is carried to predict the equivalent shear modulus of the Egg-Box core. Homogeneous material H130-foam core is employed to verify the prediction method of equivalent shear modulus. It shows a good agreement between the results of FE calculation and the values available in the reference. As a result of the present work, the equivalent shear modulus of Egg-Box core at various temperatures can be obtained.

To evaluate the seismic capacity of a multistorey building structures in performance based seismic design, it is needed to convert MDOF model into equivalent SDOF model. This paper presents predictions for interstory drift of multistorey structures using method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model. The principal objective of this investigation is to evaluate appropriateness of converting method through performing nonlinear time history analysis of a multistory building structures and an equivalent SDOF model. Comparing the interstory drift of multistorey structures calculated by time history analysis and those evaluated by an equivalent SDOF model, the adequacy and the validity of converting method is verified. The conclusion of this study is following; A method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model through the nonlinear time history response analysis is valid. Inelastic first mode shapes are expected to be more accurate than elastic first mode shapes in obtaining interstory drift of multistorey structures from equivalent SDOF model.

It is very important that predict the inelastic seismic behavior exactly for seismic performance evaluation of a building in the performance based seismic design. Evaluation method of seismic performance based on the pushover analysis reflected in PBSE was developed by some researchers. For the evaluation of inelastic global and local seismic responses by pushover analysis exactly. lateral load distribution should be adjusted and reflected the dynamic characteristics of structural system and various seismic ground motions. And performance point should be determined based on the evaluation of reasonable deformation capacity of a building more exactly. An effective method based on the improved the adaptive lateral load distribution and the equivalent responses of a multistory building is proposed in this study to efficiently estimate the accurate inelastic seismic responses. The proposed method can be used to evaluate the seismic performance for the global inelastic behavior of a building and to accurately estimate its local inelastic seismic responses. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of this method, inelastic seismic responses estimated by the proposed method are compared with those obtained from other analytical methods.

등가선형이론을 이용한 지진응답해석은 사용의 간편함 때문에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 대부분의 입력 정수들이 경험식에 의해 얻어지고 있어 심각한 오류를 발생시킬 여지가 있다. 입력정수를 실험의 결과로부터 얻을수 없다면 합리적인 방법을 통하여 입력 정수를 결정하여야 하며, 또한 입력 정수들이 해석결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입력정수가 해석결과에 미치는 영향에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 해석은 등가선형화 이론에 기초하여 개발한 액상화 해석프로그램(KLIq)을 이용하였다. 검토된 사항은 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 영향, 변형률의 영향, 반복계산에서 유효변형률 결정방법, 최대전자탄성계수의 영향, 변형률 의존곡선(자반의 종류)의 영향, 입력 지질파의 영향 등이다.

This paper discusses the homogenization method to determine effective average elastic constants of a linear structure by considering its microstructure. A detailed description on the homogenization method is given for the linear elastic material and then the finite element approximation is performed for an investigation of elastic properties. An asymptotic expansion is carried out in the cross-section area, or in the unit cell. Two and three lay-up structures made up of individual isotropic constituents are chosen for numerical examples to check discrepancies between results generated by this theoretical development and the conventional approach. Asymptotic characteristics of the process in extracting the stiffness of structure locally formed by spatial repetitions yield underestimated values of stiffness. These discrepancies are detected by the asymptotic corrective term which is ascribed to considerations of microscopic perturbations and proved in the finite element formulation. The asymptotic analysis is the more reasonable in analysing the composite material, rather than the conventional approach to calculate the macroscopic average for elastic properties.

The motion-limiting devices can be used for reducing the maximum and residual displacements of the multi-span continuous bridges with inelastic elements such as isolation bearings and plastic hinges formed in piers. For the design of motion-limiting device, the nonlinear time history analysis is required. But the time history analysis is time consuming and very complex. This study suggests the simple design procedure of the motion-limiting devices using the equivalent elastic analysis method and the acceleration-displacement spectrum concept. The suggested design procedure can be used very effectively for determining the location and gap size of the motion-limiting devices.

The sandwich shell with Egg-box core has been used for the combustion chamber case of air breathing propulsion system. The alteration on pitch length and thickness of Egg-box core was required to be lighter and save manufacturing time and cost of combustion chamber case. In this paper, the finite element analysis method which simulated bending test was used to predict the equivalent shear modulus which affect structural stability of sandwich shell in short time. The result of FE calculation on sandwich panel with homogeneous material, H130-foam core, showed a good agreement with the values available in the reference. The equivalent shear modulus of Egg-box core according to the variation of pitch length and thickness can be obtained.
