현재 국내에서는 아파트 건물을 짓는데 벽과 바닥판으로만 이루어진 벽식 구조형식을 많이 사용하고 있다. 이러한 고층 아파트건물을 해석하기 위해서 ETABS나 MIDAS/BDS 같은 상용프로그램이 주로 사용되고 있다. ETABS는 해석상의 편의를 위하여 바다판을 강막으로 가정하여 모형화 하고 바닥판의 휨강성은 고려하지 않고 있다. 이러한 가정은 프레임 구조물을 해석할 때에는 합리적이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 벽식 구조물은 바닥판의 휨강성이 전체 구조물의 횡방향 강성에 큰 영향을 미치므로 바닥판의 휨강성을 고려하지 않으면 전체 구조물의 강성을 과소평가하게 된다. 따라서 바닥판을 판요소로 세분하여 모형화 하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 이때 많은 양의 해석 시간과 컴퓨터 메모리가 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부분구조법과 행렬응축기법을 사용하여 해석 시간과 컴퓨터 메모리의 사용을 줄이면서도 바닥판의 휨강성을 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 해석 기법을 제안하였고 예제를 통하여 검증하였다.

Domestic reinforced concrete (RC) apartments have a unique structural system that consists of shear walls and rink members of slabs and lintels. In this study, the nonlinear static analysis of two RC shear wall sub-assemblages, with and without lintels, was conducted using the uniaxial spring model to develop a method for accurately predicting the seismic behavior of domestic RC apartments. In the case of the specimen without lintels, the analytical result successfully represented a simulation of the nonlinear behavior of the specimen in accordance with the test result. On the other hand, in the case of the specimen with lintels, the analysis resulted in underestimating the nonlinear behavior of the specimen compared to the test result, because the coupling effect could not be predicted from the earlier loading cycle.

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.

The box system that is composed only of reinforced concrete walls and slabs we adopted on many high-rise apartment buildings recently constructed in Korea. And the framed structure with shear wall core that can effectively resist horizontal forces is frequently adopted for the structural system for high-rise building structures. In these structures, a shear wall may have one or more openings for functional reasons. It is necessary to use subdivided finite elements for accurate analysis of the shear wall with openings. But it would take significant amount of computational time and memory if the entire building structure is subdivided into a finer mesh. An efficient analysis method that can be used regardless of the number, size and location of openings is proposed in this study. The analysis method uses super element, substructure, matrix condensation technique and fictitious beam technique. Three-dimensional analyses of the box system and the framed structure with shear wall core having various types of openings were performed to verify the efficiency of the proposed method. It was confirmed that the proposed method have outstanding accuracy with drastically reduced time and computer memory from the analyses of example structures.

A common form of construction for apartment buildings consists of walls and coupling elements. But, the structural behavior of coupling elements are very complex and affected by the properties of coupling elements. The objective of this study is to estimate the behavior of coupling elements in wall-dominant systems. For the purpose of this study, two wall-slab specimens and two wall-beam specimens were tested. The specimens with different reinforcement layouts were subjected to reversed cyclic loading, consistent with coupling action, with increasing imposed inelastic deformations. From the results of this study, 1) in coupling slabs, the stresses were not uniform across the width, 2) the effective width of coupling slabs was found smaller than that of predicted from previous studies, 3) diagonally reinforced coupling beam with slab showed larger ductility and more amount of energy dissipation to be attained compared with conventionally reinforced coupling beam.

For earthquake simulation test it is essential to make sure the similitude in behaviors between the full scale prototype and the reduced scale model. This paper presents the test results obtained through the cyclic lateral-force test, on two-story RC wall subassemblages. A lower 2-story portion of the prototype structure was selected as subassemblages. The global behavior such as the strength and ductility, and the local behavior such as flexural, shear and uplift deformation were measured. The test results of the 3 : 5 scale specimens representing the prototype were compared with those of 1 : 7 scale models. Two types of subassemblages were used: One with lintel beams and one without lintel beams. The comparison shows that 1 : 7 scale model simulated in general successfully the global and local behaviors of the prototype.

A wall-frame type structural system has been widely used to make full use of a limited land in large cities to satisfy the several functional requirement in one building. However, this type of hybrid structure brought some problems due to the vertical discontinuity of a structural system. The response of a wall-frame type structural system having a deep transfer girder was observed. An arch system was introduced to replace the deep transfer girder. The adequacy of an arch system was observed for the various boundary conditions of a system. The proposed system was compared to a general transfer girder system by applying both gravity load and lateral load. It was observed that an arch system fairly distributes the stress without concentrating stress at a certain location of a system differently from the current transfer girder system. The moment decrement effect of a column can also be obtained by eliminating the large mass of a transfer girder. Also it was investigated that an arch system is more economical and effective than the current transfer girder system.
