This study presents a simplifled calculation method for required ductility of coupling beams in precast coupled shear walls at preliminary seismic design stages. Deflection of precast coupled shear walls based on a continuum approach is combined with inelastic gap opening of horizontal connection of panels to provide a relationship between the system-level ductility and the element-level ductility in a precast coupled shear wall. The equation proposed herein for ductility requirement for coupling beams shows that higher stiffness and lower strength of coupling beams result in high ductility reuqirement. The equation also shows that the ductility requirement is proportional to the degree of gap opening of the story in question. However, the coupling beam ductility in higher stories are not affected by gap openings of horizontal connections of panel.

이번 연구에서는 저속 비압축성 유체-구조 연성을 고려한 위상 최적화을 위해 새로운 모노리틱 해석을 개발한다. 이 새로운 해석 기법에서는 기존의 유체-구조 연성 시스템 해석 기법에서 유체와 구조 영역을 분리하고 연성 조건을 만족시키는 것과 다르게 하나의 일치된 해석 방정식을 유체 영역과 구조 영역에 동일하게 적용한다. 또한, 경계조건을 만족시키기 위하여 단일화 된 해석 방정식의 물성치를 바꾸어주는 새로운 방식을 제시하였다. 이 새로운 방법에서는 유체, 구조 영역을 분리하지 않고 Navier-Stoke's 방정식과 선형 탄성식을 동시에 사용하였다. 또한, 유체-구조 영역이 연성 해석 중 변화하는 것을 반영하기 위하여 구조 변위를 이용하여 Deformation tensor를 계산하였고 이를 이용하여 변형 후에서의 Navier-Stoke 방정식의 미분을 계산하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고, 정상 상태 유체를 가정하고 속도에 비례하는 마찰힘인 Darcy's force 항을 Navier-Stoke 방정식에 넣고 이 마찰 힘의 크기를 변화시킴으로 해서 유체 방정식에서의 연성 경계 조건을 만족시켰다. 선형 탄성 방정식에서 Divergence이론을 이용해서 경계에서 작용하는 외력이 하는 일을 내부 시스템에 하는 일로 계산하였다. 개발된 모노리스 해석 방법을 이용하여 저속 비압축성 유체가 구조에 미치는 압축력을 계산하였고 이용하여 컴플라이언트 미케니즘을 설계하였다.

This study examined the feasibility of wire ropes as lateral reinforcement at the boundary element of heavyweight concrete shear walls. The spacing of the wire ropes varied from 60 mm to 120 mm at an interval of 30 mm, which produces the volumetric index of the lateral reinforcement of 0.126~0.234. The wire ropes were applied as a external hoop and/or internal cross-tie. Five shear wall specimens were tested to failure under constant axial load and cyclic lateral loads. Test results showed that with the increase of the volumetric index of the lateral reinforcement, the ductility of shear walls tended to increase, whereas the variation of flexural capacity of walls was minimal. The flexural capacity of shear walls tested was slightly higher than predictions determined from ACI 318-11 procedure. The displacement ductility ratio of shear walls with wire ropes was higher than that of shear wall with the conventional mild bar at the same the volumetric index of the lateral reinforcement. In particular, the shear walls with wire rope index of 0.233 achieved the curvature ductility ratio of more than 16 required for high-ductility design.

For the construction of PC bridge piers the implementation of 1992 seismic provisions, longitudinal steels were practically lap-spliced in the plastic hinge region. Experimental investigation was conducted ductility of evaluate the seismic earthquake-experienced reinforced concrete columns with 2,5 aspect ratio. Six test specimens were mode with test parameters: confinement ratios, lap splices, and retrofitting FRP materials. They were damaged under series of artificial earthquakes that could be compatible in Korean peninsula. Directly after the pseudo-dynamic test, damaged columns were retested under inelastic reversal cyclic loading simultaneously under a constant axial load, P＝0.1f$\_$ck/A$\_$g/. Residual seismic performance of damaged columns was evaluated and compared to that of the corresponding original columns. Test results show that PC bridge piers with lap-spliced longitudinal steels appeared to fail at low ductility. This was due to the debonding of the lap splice, which resulted from insufficient development of the longitudinal steels. The specimens externally wrapped with composite FRP straps in the potential plastic hinge region indicated significant improvement both in flexural strength and displacement ductility.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strength and ductility improvement of columns retrofitted by steel-fiber composite plate. Test specimens strengthened by three different materials - steel plate(SP), carbon fiber sheet(CF) and fiber-steel composite plate(CP) - were tested under cyclic lateral load with a constant axial load equal to $20\%$ of the axial compression capacity. The structural capacity of composite plate was good or better than that of other retrofitting materials. Test results from all retrofitted specimens showed that considerably higher retrofitting amount was required for strength enhancement. The ductility of retrofitted columns by composite plate was fairly improved. Also, energy ductility ratio was more effective than displacement ductility ratio for ductility estimation of retrofitted column.

This paper presents the resizing method of columns and beams that considers column-to-beam strength ratios to simultaneously control the initial stiffness and ductility of steel moment frames. The proposed method minimizes the top-floor displacement of a structure while satisfying the constraint conditions with respect to the total structural weight and column-to-beam strength ratios. The design variable considered in this method is the sectional area of structural members, and the sequential quadratic programming(SQP) technique is used to obtain optimal results from the problem formulation. The unit load method is applied to determine the displacement participation factor of each member for the top floor lateral displacement; based on this, the sectional area of each member undergoes a resizing process to minimize the top-floor lateral displacement. Resizing members by using the displacement participation factor of each member leads to increasing the initial stiffness of the structure. Additionally, the proposed method enables the ductility control of a structure by adjusting the column-to-beam strength ratio. The applicability of the proposed optimal drift design method is validated by applying it to the steel moment frame example. As a result, it is confirmed that the initial stiffness and ductility could be controlled by the proposed method without the repetitive structural analysis and the increment of structural weights.

The inelastic response characteristics of the standard school buildings depending on selection of hysteresis models and variable earthquakes are studied. Three earthquake records of El-centro, Santa-Monica, Taft in accordance with KBC2009 standard and four inelastic hysteresis models such as Degrading tri-linear model, Clough model, Takeda model, and Modified Takeda model are used. The inelastic response characteristics such as story shear force, story drift ratio, story displacement are reviewed. As results, El-centro earthquake shows large response in transverse direction and Santa Monica earthquake shows larger response in longitudinal direction on the contrary. Taft earthquake shows less variation of story drift ratio and story displacement for all hysteresis models and stable response.

In this study, displacement ductility capacity and plastic hinge regions of reinforced concrete multi-column bent with different transverse reinforcement ratio are investigated. The ductility increases remarkably as transverse reinforcement ratio increase and the multi-column bent loaded along transverse direction is more ductile. The plastic hinge length for special detailing requirements of transverse reinforcement is estimated. For high target ductility, plastic hinge length for confinement should be extended with increased transverse reinforcement ratio. The plastic hinge length of multi-column bent loaded along transverse direction is shorter than that along longitudinal direction, because of the different moment distribution.
