In this study, the possibility of vibration control of high-rise building structures by applying top-story isolation has been investigated. To this end, El Centro NS (1940) earthquake load is applied to 20- and 50-story building structures for numerical analysis. Artificial wind loads are used to evaluate the serviceability of example structures against wind vibration. As the number of isolated stories of example buildings is changed, structural responses has been evaluated to investigate optimal isolated building mass. And the natural period of isolation systems for top-story isolation is varied to investigate the improvement of control performance compared with the fixed base structure. Based on the analytical results, the top-story isolation system can be used as a hued mass damper and effectively reduce the structural responses of high-rise buildings against wind and seismic loads.

In this paper, a modification coefficient for equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF), considering the plasticity range of the member subjected to shock wave type of blast load, was developed. The modification coefficient for the equivalent SDOF was determined through comparison with the analysis of a multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) system. The parameters influencing the equivalent SDOF system analysis were chosen as the boundary conditions of the member and the ratio of the duration of blast load to the natural period of the member. The modification coefficient was calculated based on the elastic load-mass transformation factor. The modification coefficient curve was derived using an elliptical equation to ensure it exists between the upper and lower parameter bounds. Using the modification coefficient on examples with varying cross sections and boundary conditions reduced the SDOF analysis error rate from 15% to 3%. This study shows that using the modification coefficient significantly improves the accuracy of SDOF analysis. The modification coefficient proposed in this study can be used for blast analysis.

Recently, accidents involving structural elements, formwork, and shore have occurred continuously during concrete pouring, especially in multistory-shored RC structure systems with non-typical stories with increased slab thicknesses. In previous studies, an analysis was conducted on the stiffness of concrete and distribution of slab construction loads when some slab thicknesses were increased under the same conditions. This study analyzed the construction load, construction damage parameter, and shoring force by varying the construction conditions, such as the construction period and number of shores, as well as the design conditions, such as the thickness increment and number of thickness increment slabs, in a multistory-shored RC structure system with non-typical stories with increased slab thickness.

A realistic lifetime seismic-reliability based approach is unavoidable to perform Life-Cycle Cost (LCC)-effective optimum design, maintenance, and retrofitting of structures against seismic risk. So far, though a number of researchers have proposed the LCC-based seismic design and retrofitting methodologies, most researchers have only focused on the methodological point. Accordingly, in most works, they have not been quantitatively considered critical factors such as the effects of seismic retrofit, maintenance, and environmental stressors on lifetime seismic reliability assessment of deteriorating structures. Thus, in this study, a systemic lifetime seismic reliability analysis methodology is proposed and a program HPYER-DRAIN2DX-DS is developed to perform the desired lifetime seismic reliability analysis. To demonstrate the applicability of the program, it is applied to an example bridge with or without seismic retrofit and maintenance strategies. From the numerical investigation, it may be positively stated that HYPER-DRAIN2DX-DS can be utilized as a useful numerical tool for LCC-effective optimum seismic design, maintenance, and retrofitting of bridges.

This study present an optimum deck and girder system design for minimizing the life-cycle cost (LCC) of orthotropic steel deck bridges. The problem of optimum LCC design of orthotropic steel deck bridges is formulated as that of minimization of the expected total LCC that consists of initial cost, maintenance cost, expected retrofit costs for strength, deflection, and fatigue. To demonstrate the effect of LCC optimum design of orthotropic steel deck bridges, the proposed optimum LCC design is compared with the conventional method for orthotropic steel deck bridges design. From the numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the proposed optimum design procedure for orthotropic steel deck bridges based on the LCC will lead to more rational, economical and safer design.

In the present study, the deformation capacity of slender shear walls with thin web was studied. As reported by other researchers, web-crushing and rebar-fracture, developing by inelastic deformation after flexural yielding, were considered as the governing failure modes of walls. To address the effect of the longitudinal elongation on web-crushing and rebar-fracture, the longitudinal elongation was predicted by using truss model analysis. The failure criteria by web-crushing and rebar-fracture were defined as a function of the longitudinal elongation. The proposed method was applied to 17 shear wall specimens with boundary columns, and the prediction results were compared with the test results. The results showed that proposed method predicted the maximum deformations and failure modes of the wall specimens with reasonable precision.

최근 도심의 건물들은 수요자의 요구에 따라 평면이 다양화 되어가고 토지의 효율을 높이기 위하여 초고층화 되어가는 경향이 있다. 심지어 전통적인 공동주택의 개념으로 지어지는 아파트도 그 높이가 100m를 상회하는 경우가 대부분이다. 현재 국내의 구조설계 시 구조물의 동적특성 요소를 반영하는 고유 진동수는 주로 미국의 지진자료를 바탕으로 계산되게 되어있으며, 기존 연구결과 실측결과가 상당한 차이를 보이고 있어 이에 대한 검토가 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 내진설계의 기본이 되는 건물의 고유주기를 측정하고 내진성능을 평가하여, 보다 경제적인 내진설계 방안에 대한 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 벽식구조건물의 경우 구조설계 기준에서 제시하는 지진하중을 산정할 때, 실무자들이 구조형식을 선택하기가 곤란하여 어떤 주기산정 식을 사용해야 할지 혼란스러워 하는 경우가 많으므로, 기타 골조 식과 전단벽 식을 고려하는 경우를 구조물의 상시 미진동을 측정하여 고유 진동수 및 고유 주기를 비교하여 제시하였다. 연구결과 기타 골조 식에 의해 계산된 값은 매우 보수적으로 나타나서 이에 대한 검토도 필요하다고 사료된다.

A new ultralow density material (ULDM) named Shellular was recently introduced. Shellular has a periodic cellular structure with smooth-curved shells. The template for the first Shellular was fabricated using lithography and its shape was similar to the P-surface, a type of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS). In this paper, a new fabrication method of Shellular with D-surface, named W-Shellular, is described. W-Shellular is fabricated based on weaving of polymer wires. The compressive properties are evaluated by experiments and analysis in comparison with the previous ULDMs.

Although a number of constitutive models have been proposed to define the behavior of geotechnical materials including elastic, plastic, and dynamic response, flew numerical models have been developed for the cyclic shear behavior of rock joints or interfaces. Such realistic constitutive models play an important role in analyzing and predicting the response of joints under dynamic loads. The purpose of this research is to verify the constitutive model modified for rough granite joints based on Disturbed State Concept(DSC) model, which has been successfully verified with respect to other materials such as dry sand-steel interface and wet sand-concrete interface. Furthermore, DSC model is compared and verified with respect to cyclic shear tests and numerical analysis results based on Plesha model. Based on the results of this research, it can be stated that DSC model is capable of characterizing the cyclic shear behavior of rough granite joints under dynamic loads.

가스배관은 주로 도로를 따라 매설되어 있으며, 최근 지하철공사가 도심지에서 도로를 따라 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으므로 지하철공사시 기존에 매설되어 있는 가스배관이 대기로 노출되고 있다. 노출된 배관의 자중을 지탱해 주기 위하여 전용보를 설치한 후 와이어로프를 이용하여 가스배관을 전용보에 매달아 놓은 상태에서 지하구조물 공사를 하고 있으며, 도로는 임시적으로 철판으로 복공하여 사용하고 있는 실정이다. (중략)
