Though stiffnesses of joints in precast concrete(P.C.) large panel structures are known to be generally less than those in monolithic reinforced concrete wall structures, designers have very little information on the quantitative values with regards to these stiffnesses. The aim of this paper is to provide this quantitative information, in particular, on the compressive stiffness of horizontal joints, based on the analytical results derived from several experiments. Also, it is shown that the approach from the contact problem to determine this stiffness gives a value very simlar to those obtained above.

In this study, the possibility of applying the damping devices to shear-wall dominant apartment buildings(SDA) was examined. In order to achieve research objectives, ASCE/SEI 7-10 design procedure for structures with damping systems applied to four representative apartment buildings which are under design or previously designed with the shear-wall dominant system, and the performances of damping devices were investigated. It is shown that in order to secure the seismic performance of SDA by using dampers, the stiffness of the dampers should be very large because of the effects of shear walls with the high elastic stiffness. But since this large stiffness is highly difficult to implement in reality, prudent decisions have to be made in designing the SDA with damping system and friction dampers with the high initial stiffness are more effective than hysteretic steel dampers.

LH applies a uniformly standardized PHC Pile to 15~25 stories of Shear-wall type Apartment Building. Recently it is predicted that LH will construct over 30~40 story Apartment Building to keep varied project condition and faces urgent needs to save construction cost for improving its competitiveness. Therefore, structural analysis and design on the upper part and foundation of apartment building were carried out in this study by subdividing story of apartment building, e.g. 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 stories. Reflecting the result of basement analysis and design, the economic evaluations are performed and the optimum diameters of PHC piles are suggested. The result of this paper is considered to be applied usefully for foundation design of LH apartment housing, and the suggested PHC Piles can be used effectively by increasing efficiency and saving the construction cost of foundation.

In Korea, the seismic design regulations was established since 1988 about regularity scale of structures. However, It was not established about seismic performance and evaluation method as the most existing buildings was constructed before Earthquake-Resistant Design(1988). In this study, for model structures which are 4 units of non-seismic designed apartment and 3 units of seismic designed in Korea performed seismic performance evaluation by suggested KISTC (2004). And the result compare to evaluate Capacity Spectrum Method by using MIDAS Gen and SDS. As a result, we observed that suggested KISTC's method have overestimated for shear stress and drift index. The purpose of this study provides most conformity seismic performance evaluation process and the appropriate method of calculating the seismic performance index in Korea.

불연속적 거동이 탁월한 벽식 프리캐스트 구조물을 해석하기 위한 방법으로 유한요소법과 강체요소법 등이 있으나, 이들 해석법은 접합부의 거동을 정확히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 패널은 강체적 거동을 하고, 판널과 판널 사이의 접합부는 고체적 거동을 가정하는 강체-고체 복합모델(Coupled Model by Rigid and Solid bodies)에 의한 해석법을 제안하며, 간단한 모델의 예를 통해 검증하였다.

According to the 「Guidelines of Structural Design for Piloti Building」 of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (2018), the natural period of middle and low rise building of upper-walled lower frame type, such as the domestic multiplex house in piloti style, is suggested for safety to apply the existing code formula of the wall structure. However, the current code formula of the wall structure was provided based on actual measurement of high-rise wall-type structures that mainly exhibit bending behavior. So it is considered that it is not suitable for a piloti-type house with four stories or less, where the wall behaves in shear. See also Park et al. (2000) confirmed that the effect of the lower frame part is greater than that of the upper wall part in the natural period of complex structures with 10 or more floors through analytical studies. Therefore, in this study, in order to examine the effect of the lower frame on the natural period of the middle and low-rise piloti structure, the estimation of natural period by the finite element analysis, approximation formula and ccurrent code formula was performed for the target structures with the shear and flexural stiffness of the upper wall and the shear stiffness of the lower frame as variables. As result, it was found that the change in the shear stiffness of the lower frame had a greater effect on the natural period of the whole building than the change in the bending or shear stiffness of the upper wall.

Recently, apartment designs are tend to be changed from the standard pattern by many causes and the beam-column structures are getting popular instead of wall structure system. Therefore, for the effective use of planed space the heights of apartment are tend to be higher and higher. According to Korea Building Code, earthquake resistance designs or seismic design for those high rise apartments must be more attentive and accurate, especially, dynamic periods of structures must be exactly measured, because those are very important for equivalent static analysis. The important subject of this study is to investigate the safety factors and seismic performance for natural period of high rise buildings by comparing the natural periods getting from ambient vibration method with those of Korea Building Code.

The upper wall-lower frame structures(mixed building structures) are usually composed of shear wall structure in the upper part of structure which is used as residential space and frame structure in the lower part of structure which is used as commercial space centering around the transfer system in the lower part of structure. These structures are characteristics of stiffness irregularity, mass irregularity, and vertical geometric irregularity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nonlinear response characteristics and the seismic capacity of mixed building structures when the number of stories in the lower frame is varied. The conclusions of this study are following. 1) As the result of push-over analysis of structure such as roof drift(i.e. roof displacement/structural height) and base shear coefficient, when the stories of lower frame system are increased, base shear coefficient is decreased, but roof drift is increased. 2) According to an increase in stories of the lower fame, story drift and ductility ratio of upper wall system are decreased and behavior of upper wall system is closed to elastic. 3) When the stories of lower frame system are increased, the excessive story drift is concentrated on the lower frame system.

It is necessary to develop reliable but simple analytical models to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete wall structures. In this study, experimental results on the cyclic reversed lateral behaviors of reinforced concrete shear wall assemblages are simulated analytically by using the wall, beam, and column models available in the PERFORM 3D program. Through the comparison of experimental and analytical results, the reliability and limitations of the analysis are evaluated. In addition, the information, which could not be obtained experimentally, such as the internal flow of force, the contribution of the flange walls, and the resisting mechanism of the walls with the contribution of the coupling beam, is provided.

Torsional behavior of eccentric structure under seismic leading may cause the stress and/or deformation concentration, which arouse the failure of the structure in an unexpected manner. This study suggests D-R relationship which shows the overall displacement and rotation of the system based on the ultimate displacement capacity of the each lateral load resistant member. Using the suggested D-R relationship and displacement spectrum, the seismic assessment is conducted and verified in comparison with the time history analysis result. Multi-level seismic assessment Is considered which takes multiple seismic hazard levels and respective performance levels into account. Finally, based on the seismic assessment result, seismic rehabilitation process is presented. In this research, two rehabilitation methods are considered. One is done by means of stiffening/strengthening the seismic resistant members, and the other is based on the member ductility. Especially, in the first method, to optimize the rehabilitation result, the rehabilitation problem is modeled as an optimization problem, and solved using BFGS quasi-Newton optimization method.
