The capacity spectrum method (CSM) is a simple and graphical seismic analysis procedure. Originally, it has been developed for buildings, but now its applicability has been extended to bridge structures. It is based on the capacity curve estimated by pushover analysis and demand spectrum reduced from linear elastic design spectrum by using effective damping or strength reduction factor. In this paper, the inelastic demand spectrum as the reduced demand spectrum is calculated from the linear elastic design spectrum by using the several formulas for the strength reduction factor. The effects of the strength reduction factor for the capacity spectrum analysis are evaluated for 3 types of symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures. To investigate an accuracy of the CSM which several formulas for strength reduction factor were applied, the maximum displacements estimated by the CSM are compared with the results obtained by nonlinear time history analysis for 8 artificially generated earthquakes. The maximum displacements estimated by the CSM using the SJ formula among the several strength reduction factors provide the most accurate agreement with those calculated by the inelastic time history analysis.

압축성 초탄성 평판의 순수굽힘에 대한 비선형 변형해석의 수학적 정해가 본 논문에 구해져 있다. 이차원 평면 변형도 상태가 해석을 위하여 가정되었으며, 비선형 순수굽힘 변형해석결과는 고전적인 선형 순수굽힘 변형해석결과와 비교되었다. 고전적인 선형굽힘 결과와는 다르게 비선형 순수굽힘 상태에서는 반경방향응력은 영이 아니며 또한 각방향응력도 선형 상태가 아닌 것으로 규명되었다.

A linear analysis method using reduced secant stiffness was developed for inelastic earthquake design of reinforced concrete structures. In the proposed method, the beam-column element and plane element, which are the same as used in conventional elastic analysis, are used for structural modeling. Based on the structural plastic mechanism intended by engineer, the distribution of inelastic members is determined. The secant stiffness of the inelastic members is determined based on the target ductility of the structure. Inelastic strengths of the members are calculated by using linear analysis on the structure modeled with secant stiffness. Plastic rotations in the inelastic members are calculated with the nodal rotations resulting from the secant stiffness analysis. For verification, the proposed method was applied to the inelastic earthquake designs of a moment-resisting frame and a dual system of two dimensions, and also a dual system of three dimensions.

Inelastic seismic analysis is necessary for the seismic design due to the nonlinear behavior of a structure-soil system, and the importance of the performance based design considering the soil-structure interaction is recognized for the reasonable seismic design. In this study, elastic and inelastic seismic response analyses of a single degree of freedom system on the soft soil layer were peformed considering the nonlinearity of the soil for the 11 weak or moderate, and 5 strong earthquakes scaled to the nominal peak acceleration of 0.075g, 0.15g, 0.2g and 0.3g. Seismic response analyses for the structure-soil system were peformed in one step applying the earthquake motions to the bedrock In the frequency domain, using a pseudo 3-D dynamic analysis software. Study results indicate that it is necessary to consider the nonlinear soil-structure interaction effects and to perform the performance based seismic design for the various soil layers rather than to follow the routine procedures specified in the seismic design codes. Nonlinearity of the soft soil excited with the weak earthquakes also affected significantly to the elastic and inelastic responses due to the nonlinear soil amplification of the earthquake motions, and it was pronounced especially for the elastic ones.

현재 일반적으로 활용되고 있는 원통형 쉘구조로 이루어진 타워구조의 대형화가 추진되면서 제작, 운반 편의성, 단면효율성, 경제성 제고를 위해 다각형단면 기둥구조물의 활용이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 다각형 단면 기둥구조의 극한강도에 대한 자료가 충분치 않고 관련 기준이나 지침이 명확히 제시되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 쉘구조물을 다각형구조물로 대체하여 제작될 경우 축방향 압축에 대한 내하력 향상 효과를 수치해석적으로 검토해 보고자 한다. 해석모델은 지름 2m, 두께 20mm인 원형강관 프로토타입 풍력타워 구조를 참고로 하여 이에 내접하도록 결정한 6~12각형 단면 형상으로써 높이 10,000mm인 3차원 기둥모델을 구현하였고 유한요소프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 해석하였다. 각 subpanel의 중앙에 종방향 보강재를 설치하였을 때 국부좌굴에 대한 내하력 변화를 비교하기 위해 종방향보강재로 보강한 모델을 구성하여 비교 해석을 수행하였다. 종방향 보강재의 제원은 미국 SSRC 제안식을 기준으로 삼았다. 탄성좌굴해석을 통해 탄성좌굴모드 형상을, 비선형비탄성해석을 통해 최종파괴모드 및 극한강도를 얻었다. 보강 전 후의 탄성좌굴 해석 결과로부터 최소모드의 고유치 값을 비교하였다. 각 subpanel 단면 중심부에 한 개의 보강재를 설치한 경우 탄성좌굴강도가 4배 가량 증가하였다. 이로부터, 보강재(n=1) 설치에 따라 유효 폭두께비가 1/2로 감소하는 효과를 확인 할 수 있다. 비선형해석결과로부터 subpanel의 단면중심에 보강재를 설치한 경우 보강재가 위치한 곳에 고정점이 형성되어 이를 중심으로 국부 좌굴모드에 변화가 생기는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 변화는 다각형 단면 기둥구조의 내하력 성능, 즉 국부좌굴강도에 영향을 준다. 충분한 강성을 갖는 종방향 보강재가 설치된 경우, 극한상태에서도 유효폭두께비가 줄어드는 것과 같은 강도 향상 효과를 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 사실은 각 해석결과 극한강도를 DIN code, Migita와 Fukumoto의 제안식, SSRC 설계제안식 등과의 비교를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

When arch ribs are subjected to vertical loading, they may buckle suddenly towards the in-plane direction. Therefore, the designer should consider their in-plane stability. In this paper, the in-plane elastic and inelastic buckling strength of parabolic, fixed arch ribs subjected to vertical distributed loading were investigated using the finite element method. A finite element model for the snap-through and inelastic behavior of arch ribs was verified using other researchers' test results. The ultimate strength of arch ribs was determined by taking into account their large deformation, material inelasticity, and residual stress. Finally, the finite element analysis results were compared with the EC3 design code.

Nonlinear aeroelastic analyses of composite wing with flap are performed considering free-play and dynamic stiffness of actuator. Doublet-Hybrid method is used for the calculation of subsonic unsteady aerodynamic forces. Free-play is modeled as a bilinear spring and is linearized by using the describing function method. Dynamic stiffness is obtained from governing equation of gear system and the aeroelastic analyses were performed according to ply-angle of laminate and material. The linear and nonlinear flutter analysis results show that the flutter characteristics are significantly dependent on the free-play and dynamic stiffness. from the nonlinear flutter analysis, various types of limit cycle oscillations are observed in a range of air speeds below or above the linear divergent flutter boundary.

To know the importance of soil paramters which are used to estimate the deformation and porepressure of soil, the sensitivity for soil parameters in elastic analysis is analyzed. Using the consolidation teat results of several cohesive soils, soil parameters are estimated by back analysis method, and from the parameters the deformations and porepressures of the soil are estimated by elastic analysis, In elastic analysis for soil-deformation and porepressure, the sensitivity for the Young's modulus is large, and the esimation of Young's modulus is more important in pro- portion to the size of stress. Using the measured results during initial short period in small stress, the soil parameters can be correctly estimated by back analysis method. To decrease the iteration number in back analysis and to get the better paramters, the initial measurements in more nodes are required and the more accurate initial measurements are required.

This paper briefly describes the fundamental strategies--path-tracing, pin-pointing, and path-switching--in the computational elastic bifurcation theory of geometrically non-linear single-load-parameter conservative elastic spatial structures. The stability points in the non-linear elasticity may be classified into limit points and bifurcation points. For the limit points, the path tracing scheme that successively computes the regular equilibrium points on the equilibrium path, and the pinpointing scheme that precisely locates the singular equilibrium points were sufficient for the computational stability analysis. For the bifurcation points, however, a specific procedure for path-switching was also necessary to detect the branching paths to be traced in the post-buckling region. After the introduction, a general theory of elastic stability based on the energy concept was given. Then path tracing, an indirect method of detecting multiple bifurcation points, and path switching strategies were described. Next, some numerical examples of bifurcation analysis were carried out for a trussed stardome, and a pin-supported plane circular arch was described. Finally, concluding remarks were given.
