A retractable-roof spatial structure is frequently used for a stadium and sports hall. A retractable-roof spatial structure allows natural lighting, ventilation, optimal conditions for grass growth with opened roof. It can also protects users against various weather conditions and give optimal circumstances for different activities. Dynamic characteristics of a retractable-roof spatial structure is changed based on opened or closed roof condition. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce seismic responses of a structure. When a TMD is properly tuned, its control performance is excellent. Opened or closed roof condition causes dynamic characteristics variation of a retractable-roof spatial structure resulting in off-tuning. This dynamic characteristics variation was investigated. Control performance of a passive TMD and a smart TMD were evaluated under off-tuning condition.

This paper is basic study of seismic response analysis for the large scaled structures subjected to seismic loading. The authors propose seismic response analysis algorithm for the multi-story structures, which are subjected to ground acceleration. This analysis method is derived from an combination of the transfer stiffness coefficient method(TSCM) and Newmark method. Numerical computation is performed for simple multi-story structures acting on an arbitrary ground acceleration. Numerical results by the TSCM which is applied to the various strong ground motion are compared with results by central difference method and Runge- Kutta method.

This paper considers the nonlinear direct spectrum method to estimate seismic performance of mixed building structures without iterative computations, given dynamic property $T_1$ from stiffness skeleton curve and nonlinear pseudo acceleration $A_{1y}$ and/or ductility ratio $\mu$ from response spectrum. Nonlinear response history analysis has been performed and analysed with various earthquakes for evaluation of correctness and confidence of nonlinear direct spectrum method.

The semi-active TLCD system is investigated for control of responses of 3D irregular buildings under seismic excitations. The TLCD system is a special type of TMD system providing a performance similar to a TMD system but offers a number of practical advantages over the traditional TMD system. The equations of motion for the combined building and TLCD system are derived for multistory building structures with rigid floors and plan and elevation irregularities. Simulation results for control of two multistory moment-resisting space structures with vertical and plan irregularities show clearly that the semi-active TLCD control system reduces the responses of 3D irregular buildings subjected to earthquake ground motions efficiently.

Earthquake is a natural disaster accompanied by damage of human and properties caused by the ground motion, crustal movements, faults as well as tidal wave. The earthquake is known to occur mostly in earthquake-prone areas and the Korean Peninsula is known to be relatively safe in terms of geological characteristics. In order to withstand on severe environmental dynamic random load such as an earthquake, the large structure need to be designed to withstand the anticipated seismic tremor. The seismetic design is essential for building structures, bridges, and large structures which is handles explosive gases. Thus, the necessity of earthquake resistant analysis for large structure is growing and the capability of dynamic analysis should be obtained. In this thesis, dynamic responses of a high building(height 60m, width 18) which subjected to random earthquake load are presented which responses are derived using dynamic analysis methods such as response spectrum analysis, mode superposition and direct integration. Each results are also compared to review the merit of each methods.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a degree of discretization in the direction of longitudinal dam axis on the results of three dimensional fill dam dynamic analysis. In this study, the three dimensional dynamic analyses of the existing 'H' dam which is modeled with a different degree of discretization were carried out. From these results, the fundamental frequency of the dam and the responses at the dam crest such as acceleration and settlement were compared and analyzed. It was concluded that the size of finite element discretized in the direction of the longitudinal axis mush be smaller than 1/8 of dam length in order to obtain the reasonable fundamental frequency and response of acceleration and mush be smaller than 1/10 in order to obtain the reasonable settlement behaviors from the three dimensional dynamic analysis of the fill dam.

일찌기 20세기 초반부터 지구의 마지막 남은 자원의 보고로서 또한 미래의 생화공간으로서 해양에 대한 관심이 고조되어 왔다. 해양의 에너지/광물 자원의 개발을 위한 노력은 이미 1950년대 부터 시작되어 상당한 가시적인 성과를 얻고 있다. 최근에는 특히 환경보존에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 육상기피시설물(공항, 폐기물 처리시설, 원자력 발전설비 등)들의 부지확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 해양공간을 활용하는 방안이 선진각국에서 연구되고 있으며, 그중 가장 타당성이 높은 방안의 하난로서 각종 생산활동을 위한 플랜트를 대형 부유구조물 위에 설치하는 해상플랜트(Barge Mounted Plant, BMP)가 제안되고 있다. 원자력 발전설비를 비롯한 대형 프랜트를 부유구조물 위에 설치할 경우, 지진의 영향을 극소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 해상의 파도, 조류, 바람, 일사에 의한 갑판의 열변형 등 불규칙적인 환경하중에 노출되므로 이러한 환경조건하에서 구조물이 설계 수명 동안 안전하게 기능을 다할 수 있는지를 세심하게 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 BMP의 안전성 평가방법에 대한 신뢰도를 높이고 평가결과에 대한 합리성을 제고하는 한편, 이를 바타응로 현재까지는 설계/건조 경험이 전무한 초대형 부유구조물의 구조설계와 관련된 기초기술 및 응용기술을 확보하는 문제는 가장 시급히 해결되어야 할 부분이다.

The characteristics of harmonic phase angles and phase angle differences contained in earthquake ground motions such as El Centre 1940 NS, Taft1 1952 NS, Hachinohe 1968 NS and Mexico 1985 are figured, which have been mostly overlooked in contrast with the importance placed on harmonic amplitudes. Recently, performance based design method is used for seismic design and seismic retrofitting, which needs nonlinear response analysis, there must be earthquake ground accelerations which contain the phase angle and the phase angle difference characteristics of the zone considered to be constructed building structures. To make clear the importance of phase angle differences, 4-earthquake ground motions are normalized by 200 gal and nonlinear response characteristics of normalized 4-earthquake ground motions are compared.

Displacement amplification factor can be used to estimate inelastic displacement demands from elastic displacement demands, The simple formula for displacement amplification factor considering hysteretic behavior of structural system and earthquake characteristics is proposed. And the effects of several parameters such as displacement ductility, strain hardening ratio, period, characteristics of earthquakes and hysteretic models for the displacement amplification factor are evaluated. Accuracy of the proposed formula is evaluated by comparing the displacement amplification factors estimated by existing and proposed formula with those calculated from inelastic time history analysis. The displacement amplification factors by proposed formulas provide a good agreement with those calculated by inelastic time history analysis.
