ACI 318 (1999) defines three types of moment frames: Ordinary Moment Resisting Concrete Frame (OMRCF), Intermediate Moment Resisting Concrete Frame (IMRCF), and Special Moment Resisting Concrete Frame (SMRCF). OMRCF is the most popular type of moment frame in mild seismic zones that requires the least detail and design requirements. This study focuses on the seismic performance of Ordinary Moment Resisting Concrete Frames (OMRCF) designed only for gravity loads. For this purpose a 3-story OMRCF was designed in compliance with the minimum design requirements in ACI 318 (1999). An one third 3 story specimen was made and tested. For scaled model, the similitude law of true replica was applied. The specimen was loaded with quasi-static reversed cyclic lateral loading. The overall behavior of OMRCF is quite stable without abrupt strength degradation. It is found that tested frame has the base shear strength larger than the design base shear for seismic zone 1, 2A and 2B calculated using UBC 1997.

The connection type of steel moment frames in the country is mostly fabricated in factories so that it is fairly ductile due to good quality control. Based on references, the domestic connection satisfies the performance limit for steel intermediate moment frames specified by the AISC. However, the current KBC2009 building code specifies various systems for steel moment frames such as ordinary, intermediate, and special moment frames while the former KBC2005 only did so for a ductile moment frame. This induces the necessity of investigating which system is appropriate in the country when the domestic connection is applied. Therefore, this study was aimed at finding a proper design method by comparing the ductile moment frame in KBC2005 and the intermediate moment frames in KBC2009. The results showed that seismic design parameters for the ductile moment frames can be reasonable for satisfying the performance objective.

본 연구에서는 철골모멘트골조의 패널존변형을 명시적으로 고려한 탄성층 간변위의 근사해석 방법을 제안하였다. 본 방법은 고전적 포탈법의 가정 및 D 치법에 기반한 해석적 접근법이다. 즉 포탈법의 가정에 따라 횡력을 받는 골조를 보-기둥 부분 골조로 분해한 후 대표적 내부 부분골조의 보, 기둥 및 패널존에서 기인하는 모든 횡변위 성분을 해석적으로 계산한다. 이때에 필요한 모든 내력(가령 패널존 전단변형 산정을 위한 보의 불균형모멘트)의 결정에 D 치법을 이용한다. 구조바닥의 강막작용을 고려하면 위의 과정을 통하여 산출된 대표적 내부 부분골조의 횡변위는 전체 골조의 횡변위와 거의 동일할 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 방법의 타당성 여부는 반강절 접합요소를 사용한 해석적 엄밀해와 비교하여 검증하였으며 만족스런 결과를 주는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 방법에 의해 컴퓨터해석에 의하지 않고도 철골모멘트골조의 탄성층간변위를 실용성있는 정확도로서 신속하게 산정할 수 있으므로 본 연구의 결과는 예비적 횡강성 평가에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 또한 본 방법의 적용과정에서 해석자는 철골모멘트골조의 횡변위 기동에 관한 물리적 감각을 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 비내진 설계된 철근콘크리트 골조로 이루어진 저층의 노후공동주택의 내진성능을 향상시키기 위한 구조물의 보강방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 비선형 정적 해석과 시간 이력 해석을 수행하여 추가되는 철골 모멘트골조와 가새의 내진보강 효과를 검증하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 $H150{\times}150{\times}6{\times}8$로 구성된 철골 모멘트골조는 탄성구간에서는 하중의 약 1%, 구조물이 항복한 이후, 최대 3.5%까지 하중을 부담하여 자체적으로 지진하중에 대한 저항 성능은 크지 않았다. 그러나 철골 모멘트골조와 가새를 동시에 사용함으로써 접합부의 조기 파괴를 방지하고 구조물의 내진성능을 큰 폭으로 증진시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study summarizes the results of a research project aimed at investigating the inelastic rotation capacity of beam-column connections of reinforced concrete moment frames. A total of 91 test specimens for beam-column joint connections were examined in detail, and 28 specimens were classified as special moment frame connections based on the design and detailing requirements in the ACI 318-02 Provisions. Then the acceptance criteria, originally defined for steel moment frame connections in the AISC-02 Seismic Provisions, were used to evaluate the joint connections of concrete moment frames. Twenty-seven out of 28 test specimens that satisfy the design requirements for special moment frame structures provide sufficient strength and are ductile up to a plastic rotation of 0.03 rad. without any major degradation in strength. Joint shear stress, column-to-beam flexural strength ratio, and transverse reinforcement ratio in a joint all play a key role in good performance of the connections.

Recently, the concept of seismic design has changed from prescriptive to performance based design. For the performance based design with the specified target performance of the structure, it is necessary to execute the inelastic structural analysis to predict precisely the actual behavior of the structure. To address this issue, the seismic performance of the 5-story RC moment-resisting frames designed in accordance with KBC2009 is evaluated through push-over analysis and economic analysis is conducted focused on the direct construction costs. The results show that the ordinary and the intermediate moment-resisting frame are evaluated to meet the required performance design criteria and that the direct construction costs of the two frames are similar. However, although the special moment-resisting frame designed with strong column-weak girder philosophy satisfies the required performance design criteria, the direct construction cost is uneconomical compared with other frames. Therefore, although the intermediate moment-resisting frame of design category D is prohibited in IBC2012, the ordinary and the intermediate moment-resisting frame are estimated to be more reasonable than the special moment-resisting frame for the design of 5-story RC moment-resisting frame.

This study summarizes the results of a research project aimed at investigating the inelastic rotation capacity of beam-column joints of reinforced concrete special moment frames. All of the test specimens were classified as special moment frame (SMF), based on the design and detailing requirements of the ACI 318-02 provisions. The acceptance criteria, originally defined for steel moment frame connections in the 1997 edition of the AISC Seismic provisions, were used to evaluate the beam-column joints of the reinforced concrete moment frames. A total of 39 test specimens were examined in detail. Most of the joints that satisfy the design requirements for special moment frame structures were found to be ductile up to a plastic rotation of 3% without any major degradation in strength. This is mainly due to the stringent ACI 318-02 requirements for special moment frame joints. The presence of transverse beams increases confinement and shear resistance of joints, which results in better performance than for joints without transverse beams. All of the SMF connections that satisfy the ACI 318-02 limitations on joint shear stress turned out to meet the acceptance criteria.

Unlike field-welded moment frames damaged during the Northridge earthquake, a column-tree moment frame has a tool to control and reduce its seismic behavior. The tool is the girder splice. Girder splices could be designed to be sufficiently ductile and to have a prescribed bending moment capacity. In such a design, during earthquakes, the girder splices would act as ductile "fuses" and limit the magnitude of forces including the bending moment that could be developed in the frame. In Korea, most moment frames arc composed of a column-tree moment frame. Therefore, the elasto-plastic behavior of steel beams with high strength bolted friction splice should be clarified. Furthermore, structural capacities, including energy absorption capacity, must be quantitatively found. This paper discusses an experimental study to clarify elasto-plastic behavior of steel beams with high strength bolted friction splices. A total of 5 specimens were tested. A specimen was fabricated to have a beam splice designed by a full strength method. Other specimens were fabricated to have beam splices with 75%, 50% and 0% capacities compared with the specimen.

Domestic steel moment resisting frames were designed in accordance with the former KBC2005 and the current KBC2009, and then their seismic performance was evaluated in accordance with FEMA355F by utilizing nonlinear dynamic analysis. The results from the procedure in FEMA355F were different with those from the capacity spectrum method utilizing nonlinear static push-over analysis. In particular, the domestic steel moment resisting frames have a weak panel zone, so their behavior can be estimated more precisely by nonlinear dynamic analysis. The domestic steel moment resisting frames satisfied the performance goal if located at a site class $S_B$ or $S_C$, regardless of the story number and the response modification factor. However, if they are located at a site class $S_D$ or $S_E$, performance goal satisfaction cannot be guaranteed. No matter what standard is used for the design, KBC2005 or KBC2009, the domestic steel moment resisting frames may possess satisfactory seismic performance if the site condition is relatively good.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of steel intermediate moment frames(IMFs) with different heights. The seimic performance is conducted according to ATC-63. Three-, six, nine- and twelve-story IMFs are designed according to KBC 2009. The connection is modeled to have a drift capacity of 0.02rad, which is required for IMF connections. This study shows that the probability of collapse increases with an increase in the height of the frame. Nine- and twelve-story frames did not satisfy the requirement specified in ATC-63.
