The purpose of this study is to predict the ratios of increase in lateral stiffness for preliminary structural design of tall buildings. For this, the basic models of tall buildings with 60 stories are generated. The basic models have typical floor plan of Box or T type. And the factors for increase in lateral stiffness are selected as follows; the addition of outriggers, increase in material strength, and increase in member size of core walls, outrigger columns, and outrigger walls. Then these factors are applied to the basic models and their effects are investigated using the results of structural analysis. Finally, based on the investigation, the ratios of increase in lateral stiffness for preliminary structural design of tall buildings are proposed and applied to examples of tall building for verification of the ratios.

In constructing the multi-body dynamics model to analyze the behavior of the railway vehicle, it is very important to understand the properties of the suspension elements that constitute the suspension system. Among them, coil springs, which are mainly used in primary and secondary suspension systems, clearly show the axial stiffness in the drawings, but the lateral properties of the coil springs are not specified clearly, making it difficult to construct a dynamic analysis model. Therefore, in this paper, the model for analyzing the lateral stiffness of the coil spring is examined. A finite element method was applied to analyze the lateral stiffness of the coil spring and numerical analysis was performed by applying the coil spring lateral stiffness analysis model proposed by Krettek and Sobczak. And the test to analyze the lateral stiffness of coil spring was conducted. As a result of comparing with the test results, it was found that the results obtained by applying the lateral stiffness analysis model of Krettek and Sobczak and correcting the correction coefficient are similar to those of the test results.

본 논문에서는 계측을 통한 초고층 무량판 구조물의 횡강성 산정식의 유효성을 검정하였다. 초고층 건축물의 풍진동은 건축물의 사용성 평가에 중요한 구조설계요인 중 하나이다. 신뢰성 있는 풍하중 및 풍진동을 얻기위해서는 정확한 고유주기의 예측이 중요하며 고유주기 예측에 오차가 있을 경우 하중을 지나치게 과대평가하게 되는 문제를 유발하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 최근들어 국내에서 본격적으로 증가하고 있는 초고층 무량판 구조시스템의 건축물에 대한 해석 모델링과 실측을 통하여 추정된 무량판 초고층 건물의 동적특성을 바탕으로 구조해석과 동적거동의 계측을 통하여 내풍설계를 위한 횡강성 및 주기를 산정하는 연구를 수행하였다.

This study develops the module to find the lateral stiffness influence matrix of each story and performs the displacement sensitivity analysis by virtual load method for the efficiency of optimal design using lateral stiffness influence matrix. Also, resizing technique based on the estimated lateral stiffness increment factors is developed to apply directly the results of optimal design. To this end, resizing technique is divided into the continuous and discrete section design methods. And then the relationships between section properties and section size are established. Specifically, an initial design under strength constraints is first performed, and then the lateral load resistant system is designed to control lateral displacements yet exceeding the drift criteria. Two types of 45-story three dimensional structures we presented to illustrate the features of the lateral drift control and resizing technique for tall buildings proposed in this study.

A simplified analytical procedure is presented to estimate the reduction of elastic lateral stiffness of steel moment frames arising from the radius-cut dogbone weakening. With the original radius-cut dogbone shape, it is almost impossible or too complicated to integrate analytically the mathematical expressions encountered when applying the conjugate beam method to compute the beam deflection component. In this study, the problem is circumvented by replacing the original radius-cut dogbone with an equivalent dogbone of constant width. The equivalence between the two is established by imposing an equal dogbone elongation criterion. This approach is justified by using a calibrated finite clement analysis. Then, the elastic lateral deflection components from the column, panel zone, and beam are derived for a typical beam-column subassembly. The derived results can be used to evaluate the reduction of the frame lateral stiffness. Case studies conducted within some practical ranges of frame configurations show that the reduction in frame lateral stiffness due to the presence of dogbone cut is on the order of 1 to 2 percent and is reasonably negligible in practical sense.

아웃리거 시스템은 고층건물의 구조설계 시에 횡변위를 제어하기 위해 사용되는 가장 효율적이고 널리 사용되는 구조시스템 중 하나이다. 아웃리거는 설치 위치의 최적성에 따라 횡변위 제어효과에 상당한 차이가 있으며, 1970년대 이후부터 아웃리거의 최적위치에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 아웃리거의 최적위치는 구조물의 전단벽, 아웃리거, 외각기둥의 요소간 강성비에 따라 변하는 값이므로, 아웃리거 시스템의 횡변위는 요소간 강성비와 아웃리거 위치 모두에 의해 영향을 받는다. 따라서 초기구조설계 단계에서 아웃리거의 위치에 대한 결정과, 각 요소간 강성비의 선택은, 전체 구조 시스템의 효율성에 상당한 영향을 미치게 된다. 하지만 아웃리거 시스템의 최적 효율을 보장하면서, 구조물의 초기 설계 시에 참고할 수 있는, 아웃리거의 최적위치와 요소간 강성비에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GA(genetic algorithm)을 이용하여 초기 설계 시에 참고할 수 있는 고층건물의 횡변위를 최소로 하는, 아웃리거의 최적 위치 및 요소간 강성비에 대한 연구를 진행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 시공된 예제 건물에 적용을 통해 그 효과를 검증해 본다.

This study was carried out to reduce the lateral vibration of high-speed electric multiple units. In the study, the high-speed electric multiple unit prototype (HEMU-430X) has a high lateral vibration at low equivalent conicity regardless of the wheel profiles (XP55, GV40, S1002). As wheel wear progresses and the equivalent conicity increases, the lateral vibration tends to decrease. The reason is that a combination of the suspension characteristics causes the body and bogie to resonate at a frequency of 1.4 Hz when the equivalent conicity is low, resulting in body hunting. An investigation of the lateral vibration of overseas high-speed trains showed that a decrease in the hydraulic stiffness of the yaw damper could improve the vibration. The series stiffness of the yaw damper is a combination of the hydraulic stiffness and elastic joint. In this study, an attempt was made to improve the lateral vibration by lowering the stiffness of the elastic joint. The series stiffness of the adjusted yaw damper was approximately 60% compared to the original one. The on track test results showed improvement in the lateral vibration for both running directions. The vibration reduction method of this study can be used for EMU-250 and EMU-320 in future commercial operations.

The effects of coupling beam, which is generally used in high-rise building structure system as shear wall-coupling beam, on the lateral drift of high-rise buildings are studied in this paper. Six different analytical models, which are combination of two inputs, such as concrete strength and wall thickness, are selected and analyzed on lateral drifts with different stiffness of coupling beams. MIDAS GEN was used for analysis. Calculated lateral drifts were compared with allowable limits(H/400~H/500) proposed by standard CEN EC 3/1, in order to analyze the control evaluation of coupling beams. Calculated x-direction displacements were 68~87 percent of allowable limit(H/500). With increase of wall thickness(100mm) and concrete strength(5Mpa), eight to ten percent and four percent of x and y-direction displacement were decreased individually. About three percent of lateral displacement was increased with 20 percent decrease of coupling beam stiffness and additional 20 percent decrease resulted in additional five to eight percent increase.

Effective beam width model(EBWM) has been used for analysis of post-tensioned(PT) flat plate slab frames under lateral loads. The accuracy of this model in predicting lateral drifts and unbalanced moments strongly depends on the estimated effective stiffness of PT flat plate slabs. As moments on the slab due to lateral loads increases, cracks occur which leads to stiffness reduction in slabs. For analyzing PT flat plate slab structure under lateral loads with good precision, reduction in slab stiffness has to be accurately estimated for EBWM. For this purpose, this study collected test results of PT flat plate system conducted by former researches. And this study reduced the width of slab so that the stiffness of the EBWM converged into the lateral stiffness of each test specimens by trial and error. By conducting nonlinear regression analysis using the stiffness ratio of the reduced width of slab to the effective width of EBWM with respect to the level of slab moments, an equation for calculating stiffness reduction factor for slab is proposed. For verifying the accuracy of the proposed equation, this study compared with the test result of the PT flat plate frame. It is shown that the EBWM with the proposed equation predicts the actual stiffness of the PT specimen which varied according to the level of applied moment.

본 논문에서는 먼저 흥인지문에 대해 상시진동실험을 수행하고, 그 데이터를 분석하여 흥인지문의 고유진동수, 모드, 감쇠비의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과로부터 흥인지문의 병진모드를 파악하였고, 병진모드에서 측정한 여러 기둥의 모드 상대크기와 위상이 동일함을 확인하였다. 저차 병진모드에서 모든 기둥이 같은 방향으로 강성을 발휘하기 때문에 각층의 강성을 합한 등가의 층강성을 가지는 2자유도의 동적강체해석모델을 제시하였다. 이 해석모델은 선형 범위 내에서 거동한다는 것으로 가정하여 층강성을 산정하였다. 실제 흥인지문의 접합부에는 부재간의 이음과 맞춤에 의한 마찰력이 작용한다. 접합부를 누르는 무거운 지붕하중에 의해 이 마찰력은 증가하게 되고, 이로써 횡하중에 저항하게 된다. 이러한 접합부에 강한 횡하중이 작용하게 되면, 접합부의 이완 및 마찰력의 저하 등으로 인하여 횡강성의 저하가 급격히 일어나는 비선형 특성을 갖게 된다. 이러한 흥인지문의 비선형적인 특성을 파악하기 위해 흥인지문 해석모델에 쿨롱 마찰력을 도입하여 비선형적인 해석모델을 제시하였다.
