The market of the floating solar photovoltaic system is rapidly growing around the world with the rise of renewable energy that can replace fossil energy. While the floating solar photovoltaic system is operating and being installed in several countries, the system is exposed to the risk in terms of structural safety due to the absence of the proper design guideline. In this paper, design loads suitable for the floating solar photovoltaic system are presented. Utilizing the existing reliable design standards such as ASCE 7-16 (ASCE 7-16 2016) and DNV-RP-C205 (DNV-RP-C205 2010), the appropriate design loads for the floating solar photovoltaic system are presented. The proper load combinations are also presented by putting wave load based on DNV standards (DNV-OS-C101 2015 and DNV-OS-C201 2015) into the load combinations in ASCE standards (ASCE 7-16 2016). We present the load combinations for the allowable stress design and load and resistance factor design, respectively.

The ASCE formula of lifeline.soil interaction force is the basis of semi-analytical relationship for buried pipelines subjected to longitudinal permanent ground deformation due to seismic induced liquefaction. However, since the ASCE formula has been developed based on the stiffness of non-liquefied region, it is needed to modify for the varied stiffness of liquefied region. With this object, the consideration of decreasing effect of soil stiffness in liquefied region is made: i.e. the spatial distributions of pipeline-soil interaction force in liquefied region. It means that the improved formula can reflect various patterns of permanent ground deformation more realistically. Through the comparative analyses using both the improved and ASCE formula, the applicability of the improved and the limitation of the ASCE formula and semi-analytical relationship are discussed. Also, relative influences of various parameters are evaluated for the clarification of behavior of pipeline subjected to longitudinal permanent ground deformation due to liquefaction.

The design wind pressure for low-rise buildings in the ASCE 7-10 is defined by procedures that are categorized into the Main Wind Force-Resisting System (MWFRS) and the Components and Cladding (C&C). Some of these procedures were originally developed based on steel portal frames of industrial buildings, while the residential structures are a completely different structural system, most of which are designed as low-rise light-frame wood constructions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the rationality (or irrationality) of the extension of the wind loads calculated by the ASCE 7-10 to the light-frame wood residential buildings that represent the most vulnerable structures under extreme wind conditions. To serve this purpose, the same approach as used in the development of Chapter 28 of the ASCE 7-10 that envelops peak responses is adopted in the present study. Database-assisted design (DAD) methodology is used by applying the dynamic wind loads from Louisiana State University (LSU) database on a typical residential building model to assess the applicability of the standard by comparing the induced responses. Rather than the postulated critical member demands on the industrial building such as the bending moments at the knee, the maximum values at the critical points for wood frame buildings under wind loads are used as indicators for the comparison. Then, the critical members are identified through these indicators in terms of the displacement or the uplift force at connections and roof envelope. As a result, some situations for each of the ASCE 7 procedures yielding unconservative wind loads on the typical low-rise residential building are identified.

본 논문은 ASCE 7-10를 적용한 비틀림 비정형 철골 모멘트 골조의 설계 및 평가를 수행한 동반연구(I 내진설계)의 후속 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 철골 모멘트 골조의 비틀림 비정형 발생 여부와 ASCE 7-10 설계 요구조건의 적용 여부에 따라 내진성능평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, ASCE 7-10의 비정형 내진설계 요구조건을 적용한 철골 모멘트 골조의 경우 붕괴확률이 매우 낮고 상당히 보수적인 설계 결과를 나타냈으며, 본 연구에서는 비틀림 비정형 구조물의 합리적인 설계를 위해 개선된 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법으로 설계된 비틀림 비정형 철골 모멘트 골조의 붕괴확률은 기존의 방법으로 설계된 구조물의 붕괴확률을 보다 크지만 ASCE 7-10의 붕괴확률 요구 조건을 만족하였다.

조적 끼움벽은 건축물의 건설에 있어서 공간을 나누고 구획하는데 사용되는 가장 흔한 시스템 중의 하나이다. 조적 끼움벽의 많은 장점에도 불구하고, 대상 시스템은 지진하중에 대하여 주의를 가지고 사용되어야 한다. 지진이 작용하는 동안 끼움벽에는 대각 방향의 압축 스트럿이 형성되면서 주변의 RC 골조에 작용하는 요구 하중을 크게 한다. 특히 개구부가 있는 조적 끼움벽의 경우, 하중 전달과정이 매우 복잡하기 때문에 시스템의 설계에 있어서 엔지니어의 주관적인 판단이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 개구부를 갖는 조적 끼움벽에 대하여 유한요소해석(FEA)를 실시하여 거동을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 현행 설계기준인 ASCE 41을 적용한 경우와 비교하였다. ASCE 41의 기준을 적용할 때, 압축 스트럿의 등가폭이 FEA를 통한 결과에 비하여 32%까지 작게 나타났다. 또한 하중저항 능력은 ASCE 41을 적용한 경우 FEA에 의한 결과에 비하여 28% 작게 나타났다. 따라서 상당한 노력이 필요한 FEA를 대신하여, 조적 끼움벽의 해석과 설계에 ASCE 41을 적용하면 약 25% 수준의 보수적이며 적절한 결과를 얻을 수다고 할 수 있다.

This research formulates a closed-form equation to predict a glass panel cracking failure drift for several curtain wall and storefront systems. An evaluation of the ASCE 7-10 equation for Dclear, which is the drift corresponding to glass-to-frame contact, shows that the kinematic modeling assumed for formulation of the equation is sound. The equation proposed in this paper builds on the ASCE equation and offers a revision of that equation to predict drift corresponding to cracking failure by considering glazing characteristics such as glass type, glass panel configuration, and system type. The formulation of the proposed equation and corresponding analyses with the ASCE equation is based on compiled experimental data of twenty-two different glass systems configurations tested over the past decade. A final comparative analysis between the ASCE equation and the proposed equation shows that the latter can predict the drift corresponding to glass cracking failure more accurately.

In this study, natural period formular is presented for a RC shear wall structure with H-, T-, and L-shaped wall sections. The natural period formular proposed by Goel and Chopra and adopted in ASCE 7-10 was modified by using the ratio of the flange and web wall area. The natural periods of structures with H-shaped wall were numerically obtained, the results indicated that the ASCE 7-10 could not consider the natural period variation according to the length of the flange wall, but the proposed formula could do. Especially, ASCE 7-10 estimated much longer periods than eigenvalue analysis, and this implies that conservative seismic design is difficult. The periods by eigenvalue analysis exist between the upper and lower bounds given by the proposed formula, and conservative design is possible by using the proposed lower bound value. In order to verity the effectiveness of the proposed method, actual residential buildings with various types of flange walls are considered. Ambient vibration tests, eigenvalue analyses, and nonlinear dynamic analyses were conducted and the periods were compared with the values by ASCE 7-10 and the proposed formula. The results showed that the proposed formula could estimate more accurately the periods than ASCE 7-10.

Current seismic design provisions such as ASCE 7-10 provide criteria for selecting ground motions for conducting response history analysis. This study is the sequel of a companion paper (I - Ground Motion Selection) for assessment of the ASCE 7-10 criteria. To assess of the ASCE 7-10 criteria, nonlinear response history analyses of twelve single degree of freedom (SDF) systems and one multi-degree of freedom (MDF) system are conducted in this study. The results show that the target seismic demands for SDF can be predicted using the mean seismic demands over seven and ten ground motions selected according to the proposed method within an error of 30% and 20%, respectively

The shear strength equations of the joint with RC column and steel beam are used the proposed equations of ASCE, Kanno and AIJ but there are not applied variable joint details. Until now the variable experimental studies are practiced but the studies of predicted shear strength equation are not integrated and only the applicable equations to each case are proposed. The purpose of this study is statistical analysis for the proposed equations applied existing experiments. The proposed equations are ASCE, Kanno, M-Kanno, AIJ and M-AIJ. The 47 of shear failure experiments are used in this study The consequence is that the Kanno's equation is very analogized with the experimental result but ASCE equation underestimates about 42$\%$. AIJ and M-AIJ are not proper equations for estimating the shear strength of RCS joint.
