The final purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry (URM) building more accurately. For that, shear strength and hysteresis model considering failure mode of the URM wall were discussed. The shear strength of URM wall without openings could be calculated by determining on the minimum value between the rocking strength suggested by domestic research and the sliding strength suggested by FEMA. The wall having openings could be predicted properly by the FEMA method. And the nonlinear hysteresis models for flexural and shear behaviors considering failure mode were proposed. As the result of the nonlinear cyclic analysis that carried out using suggested models, these analysis models were proper to represent the seismic behavior of URM walls.

The objective of this paper is to propose an analysis technique to predict the behavior of PC wall structures subjected to cyclic load. While PC wall panel is idealized by finite elements, the joints at which PC walls are connected each other are idealized by nonlinear spring elements. Axial and shear spring elements are developed for simulating shear, compression and tension behaviors of joints. The strength and stiffness of each spring elements we presented from the previous research results and incorporated into the computer program of DRAIN-2DX. The proposed analysis technique is evaluated by analyzing specimens previously tested and comparing with those. On the strength, stiffness, energy dissipation and lateral drift, analytical results show good agreements with test results. This means the proposed technique is effective to predict the response of the PC wall structures.

The accumulated displacements and fatigues of rock are increased by the stress-hysteresis, induced from repeated frost-thawing. Also the shear strength is decreased by them continuously. The stress-hysteresis is affected by the atmospheric temperature changes, whose behavior is visco-elasticity, usually. Therefore, to do ideal body analysis, Kelvin model could be used to analyze the frost-thawing behavior in winter. In general, rock slope failure occurs by the deterioration of rocks, which is caused by the repetition of freezing-thawing process. In order to keep the safety of such rock mass structures the deterioration process of rock needs to be described quantitatively using some meaningful parameters. In this work, the deterioration process in freezing-thawing cycle of tuff, which is a famous soft porous rock, is investigated through laboratory tests and successfully described as a differential equation for the change of porosity. And then, the deterioration of the mechanical properties of rock, such as Young's modulus and uniaxial compressive strength, are quantitatively described as a function of the porosity.

In this investigation, results of laboratory tests on four reinforced concrete flat plate interior connections with elongated rectangular column support which has been used widely in tall residential buildings are presented. The purpose of this study is to evaluate an effect of column aspect ratio (${\beta}_c={c_1}/{c_2}$=side length ratio of column section in the direction of lateral loading $(c_1)$ to the direction of perpendicular to $c_1$) on the hysteretic behavior under earthquake type loading. The aspect ratio of column section was taken as $0.5{\sim}3\;(c_1/c_2=1/2,\;1/1,\;2/1,\;3/1)$ and the column perimeter was held constant at 1200mm in order to achieve nominal vertical shear strength $(V_c)$ uniformly. Other design parameters such as flexural reinforcement ratio $(\rho)$ of the slab and concrete strength$(f_{ck})$ was kept constant as ${\rho}=1.0%$ and $f_{ck}=40MPa$, respectively. Gravity shear load $(V_g)$ was applied by 30 percent of nominal vertical shear strength $(0.3V_o)$ of the specimen. Experimental observations on punching failure pattern, peak lateral-load and story drift ratio at punching failure, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation in the hysteresis loop, and steel and concrete strain distributions near the column support were examined and discussed in accordance with different column aspect ratio. Eccentric shear stress model of ACI 318-05 was evaluated with experimental results. A fraction of transferring moment by shear and flexure in the design code was analyzed based on the test results.

In this study, experimental research was carried out to improve earthquake-resistant performance for the retrofitting of reinforced concrete beam-column joints using carbon fiber materials in existing reinforced concrete building. Six reinforced concrete beam-column joints were constructed and tested to evaluate the retrofitting effect of test variables, such as the retrofitting materials and retrofitting region(plastic hinge, beam-column joint) under load reversals. Test results show that retrofitting specimen(RPC-CP2, RPC-CR, RJC-CP, RJC-CR), using new materials(carbon fiber plate, carbon fiber rod and carbon fiber sheet), designed by the improvement of earthquake-resistant performance and ductility, attained more load-carrying capacity and stable hysteretic behavior.

구조물의 내진보강방법 중에서 가장 널리 이용되는 방법인 강재 이력형 감쇠장치는 수평하중에 대한 응력-변위 곡선을 이용하여 지진 에너지를 소산시키는 방법인데, 이 경우 편심하중 등에 의해서 부재가 면 외 방향으로 거동하여 응력-변위곡선이 불규칙하여 그 결과의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 형상을 방지하기 위해서는 별도의 채널(Channel)을 시공하는 불편함을 감수해야 하며, 또한 수평력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 그 효과를 장담할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강재 스트립과 스프링을 결합한 댐퍼를 고안하여 스프링은 탄성변형을, 강재 스트립은 소성변형을 받게 하는 혼합형 댐퍼를 개발하고자한다. 여기서, 스프링은 복원력으로 작용하여 반복하중에 대한 저항성을 키우고 강재 스트립의 하중변위 곡선을 규칙적으로 하는 역할을 수행하게 되며 에너지 소산량을 계산할 때 편리함과 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 강재 스트립의 폭과 길이는 일정하지만 두께를 변화시켜서 5종류를 선택하였으며, 댐퍼 1개당 3개의 스트립을 정삼각형 형태로 배치하고 그 중심에 상당한 강성을 갖는 스프링을 갖는 형태로 제작하였다. 댐퍼 시험체는 5개를 제작한 후, 이 댐퍼를 구조물에 배치하였을 때의 지진에 대한 에너지 소산량과 부재력을 검토하여 댐퍼의 안전성(Safety)를 검증하고자 한다.

Four 3-story 1/2 scaled large concrete panel structures were designed and tested to estimate the seismic resistance capacity of large concrete panel high rise building systems, Test specimens were modeled three story of 24 or 15 story buildings and set up to represent the actural stress of the building . The axial force was constant and the horizontal force was loaded by ductility ratio. Results indicated that the joints of specimens were behavied monolithically to maximum strength. It was shown that the joint box connecting system had lower maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity than welding connection system, but had better deformation capacity.

This experimental study is aiming to investigate the hysteritic behavior of high-strength R/C columns subjected to axial load and lateral load reversals. The five 1/4 scaled specimens were made of high-strength concrete with the design strength load(n=0.2f'cAg, n=0.4f'cAg) and type of transverse reinforcement. From the test results, strength and stiffness degradation of columns under higher axial load is much more serious than that under lower axial load. ductility of columns is enhansed with increasing amount of transverse reinforcement, shear strength is depended on the level of axial load.

Results of an experimental investigation of low-rise reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular cross section under cyclic loads are discussed and evaluated. Two half scale models of test specimens with height to length ratio of 0.75 were experimented. The dimension of all walls is 1500mm wide $\times$ 950 mm high $\times$ 100 mm thick for all specimens and the section of all boundary at both ends is 100 mm $\times$ 200mm. Main variables are : horizontal shear reinforcement ratios and reinforcement details(including crossed diagonal shear reinforcements in SWR2 specimen) In SWR2 specimen, maximum strength and consequently dissipating energy index were 1.15~1.21 and 1.48 times greater than those of SWR1 specimen, respectively.

고온구조물은 고온에서의 운전상태에 따라 복잡한 하중이력을 경험하게 됨으로써 상온에서 발생하는 손상 기구와는 달리 온도 의존성을 가질 뿐만 아니라, 상온에서 볼 수 없는 크립-피로의 상호작용에 의한 손상현상이 나타나게 된다. 따라서 고온 구조물의 건전성 평가를 위한 비탄성 해석을 신뢰성 있게 수행하기 위해서는 구조물의 비선형 거동을 비교적 정확히 예측할 수 있는 통합 구성방정식의 개발 및 적용과 온도에 따른 재료의 물성치 확보가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 통합 점소성 모델인 수정된 Chaboche 모델에 대해서 내연적 시간 적분법을 적용하여 ABAQUS의 UMAT으로 구현하였고, 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 INCONEL 718을 사용한 단순 인장해석, 반복 소성 특성해석 및 크립 해석을 수행하여 프로그램의 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 또한 원공이 있는 평판에 대한 예제해석을 수행함으로써 개발된 프로그램이 고온구조물의 건전성 평가를 위한 비탄성 해석에 적절하게 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
