The objective of the study in this paper was to develop a beam-column element to model members with purely flexural yielding, as well as members with yielding under combined flexure and axial force during severe earthquake ground motins. The developed element can be considered as an one-component series hinge type model. It has the capability to model plastic axial deformation and changes in axial stiffness, and employs hardening rules to handle monotonic, cyclic or arbitrary loading. In general, when compared to experimental results and fiber model predictions, the element showed significantly better performance than the bilinear hinger model and could properly model the beam-column behavior of bare steel members in moment resisting frames. The developed element can more accurately predict local deformation demands and overall responses of structural systems under earthquake loadings than the bilinear hinge element.

In this research, a numerical algorithm is developed for the response analysis of burined pipelines considering longitudinal permanent ground deformation(PGD) due to liquefaction induced lateral spreading. Buried pipelines and surrounding soil are modeled as continuous pipelines using the beam elements and a series of elasto-plastic springs represented for equivalent soil stiffness, respectively. Idealized various PGD patterns based on the observation of PGD are used as a loading configuration and the length of the lateral spread zone is considered as loading parameter. Numerical results are verified with other research results and efficient applicability of developed procedure is shown. Analyses are performed by varying different parameters such as PGD pattern, pipe diameter and pipe thickness. Through these procedures, relative influences of various parameters on the response of buried pipeline subject to longitudinal PGD are investigated.

The seismic design concept of RC bridges is to attain the proper ductility of piers, yielding a ductile failure mechanism. Therefore, seismic design force for moment is determined by introducing a response modification factor (R), and lateral reinforcements to confine core concrete are specified in the current design code. However, these design provisions have irrationality, which results in excessive amounts of lateral reinforcements for columns in Korea, which are generally designed with large sections. To improve on these provisions, a new design method based on seismic performance has been proposed. To apply this to hollow sectional columns, however, further investigations and improvements must be performed, due to the different seismic behaviors and confinement effects. In this study, hollow sectional columns with different lap-splice of longitudinal bars and lateral reinforcements have been tested. Seismic characteristics and performance were investigated quantitatively. These research results can be used to derive a performance-based design for hollow sectional columns.

It is important to ensure the seismic safety of pile-bent bridges constructed in areas with thick soft ground consisting of various soil layers against seismic motion in these layers. In this study, several synthetic seismic waves that are compatible with the seismic design spectrum for rock sites were generated, and the ground acceleration history of each soil layer was obtained based on ground analyses. Using these acceleration histories, each soil layer was modeled using equivalent linear springs, and multi-support excitation analyses were performed using the input motion obtained at each soil layer. Due to the nonlinear behavior of the soft soil layers, the intensity of the input ground motion was not amplified, which resulted in the elastic behavior of the bridge. In addition, inputting the acceleration history obtained from a particular layer simultaneously into all the ground springs reduced the response. Therefore, the seismic performance of this type of bridge might be overestimated if multi-excitation analysis is not performed.

Columns are one of the most critical parts of a structural system subjected to earthquake excitations. In this regard, extensive experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Among them, many studies focused on the behavior of circular or square RC columns strengthened with CFRP or GFRP sheets. Since the cross-sectional shape affects confinement by FRP wrapping, its strengthening effect and final damage pattern may differ with shapes. In this study, a series of cyclic tests was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of rectangular reinforced concrete columns strengthened with basalt-based fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets and composite fiber panels. The result shows that the effect of strengthening is not significant, and it implies a little increase of confinement by BFRP sheets and composite fiber panels, which is considered partly due to the cross-sectional shape of the columns.

지진하중을 받는 다경간 단순형교의 낙교방지대책으로 적용되는 cable restrainer를 적절하게 설계하기 위해서는 restrainer의 보강효과에 대한 분석이 우선적으로 이루어져야한다. 본 연구에서는 단순지지 다경간 교량시스템을 중심으로 restrainer로 보강된 교량의 보강효과와 다양한 교량의 영향 요소를 고려할 수 있는 단순화된 해석모형을 개발하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 대상교량의 인접 진동계간의 상대거리, 충돌력, 하부교각으로 전달되는 전단역과 휨모멘트의 변화 등의 동적거동특성을 조사하여 restrainer의 보강효과를 분석하였다. 또한, restrainer의 여유길이 변화, 강성변화, 그리고 restrainer 길이변화에 따른 응답특성을 분석하였다.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 타설 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 물리적인 요인과 화학적인 요인으로 인하여 열화가 발생한다. 열화를 고려한 구조해석에서 모든 열화 관련 변수를 고려하는 것은 비효율적이다. 따라서 구조물의 거동과 밀접한 관련이 있는 중요열화변수를 정의하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 전단벽의 경년열화 해석시 중요변수를 고려하기 위하여 민감도해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 재료의 경화와 관련한 변수들이 열화와 관련한 변수들보다 지진응답이 민감하게 나타났다. 해석모델의 낮은 철근비로 인하여 콘크리트의 탈락에 의한 지진응답의 변화보다 철근의 단면손실에 의한 지진응답의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 만약 원전과 같이 철근비가 높은 전단벽에서는 철근의 단면손실도 지진응답에 대한 중요변수가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents the results of performance verification tests of the isolated flat plate apartment building with the laminated rubber bearings. The shaking table test is carried out in CABR(China Academy of Building Research) with two 1/10 scale isolation and non-isolation models under 4 excitation waves. The shaking table test is proceeding from x axis, y axis and x+y axis with different amplitude of acceleration values. The results show that, to non-isolated model, the natural vibration period is remarkably decreased and entered non-linear condition after moderate earthquake. Its accelerations become lager with increasing storey number and completely collapsed under large earthquake. The inter-storey shifts largely exceed the limit values of regulated displacement angles. But to isolated model, the natural vibration period of isolated modal is almost the same in all conditions and still in its elastic condition. The earthquake loading is greatly reduced and the accelerations of superstructure are greatly reduced. The inter-storey drifts are very small and can be neglected. The isolated model is in translational state and can be seen as a rigid whole. The displacements of isolation layer are in the allowable range. This experiment demonstrates that the seismic isolation is very effective to mitigate the influence of earthquake on structures and it is possible to increase the serviceability due to decrease the floor acceleration. facilities from their good states that is superior to non-isolated structure.
