Evaluation on the sidesway seismic collapse capacity of the widely used low- and medium-height structures is meaningful. These structures with such type of collapse are recognized that behave as inelastic deteriorating single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems. To incorporate the deteriorating effects, the hysteretic loop of the nonlinear SDOF structural model is represented by a tri-linear force-displacement relationship. The concept of collapse capacity spectra are adopted, where the incremental dynamic analysis is performed to check the collapse point and a normalized ground motion intensity measure corresponding to the collapse point is used to define the collapse capacity. With a large amount of earthquake ground motions, a systematic parameter study, i.e., the influences of various ground motion parameters (site condition, magnitude, distance to rupture, and near-fault effect) as well as various structural parameters (damping, ductility, degrading stiffness, pinching behavior, accumulated damage, unloading stiffness, and P-delta effect) on the structural collapse capacity has been performed. The analytical formulas for the collapse capacity spectra considering above influences have been presented so as to quickly predict the structural collapse capacities.

This paper is concerned with a collapse behavior analysis for a thin-walled structure considering farming effects. Numerical simulation is carried out with a finite element limit analysis in order to identify forming effects on collapse behavior of a thin-walled structure such as an S-rail. The formed S-rail contains fabrication histories such as residual stress, work hardening, non-uniform thickness distribution and geometric changes resulted from the forming process. The collapse behavior analysis of an S-rail with forming effects leads to different results from that without such effects. The present study deals with the collapse analysis of the S-rail fabricated with the typical forming, trimming and springback processes. Collapse properties such as the collapse load, the collapse mode and the energy absorption are calculated and investigated In order to identify forming effects. It is fully demonstrated that the design of thin-walled structures needs to consider the forming effects for a proper assessment of the load-carrying capacity and the deformation of the formed structures.

In this paper, dynamic collapse behavior of the rectangular tube under impact loading is anlayzed using nonlinear finite element method of shell element. In case of shell element formulation using corotational element coordinates system, dynamic collapse behavior is analyzed without initial imperfection, and with initial imperfection. This paper reveals that the collapse of a rectangular tue without initial imperfection is caused by an error of transformation of the corotational coordinates system.

To analyze the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum square tube beam under a bending load, a finite element simulation for the four-point bending test has been performed. Using an aluminum tube beam specimen partly inserted with two steel bars, the local buckling deformation near the center of the tube beam was induced. The maximum bending load and the bending collapse behavior obtained from the numerical simulation were in good agreement with experimental results. Using a combination of the four-point bending test and its finite element simulation, analysis of the local buckling and the accompanied bending collapse behavior of aluminum tube beam could be quantitative accomplished.

This article presents a comparative analysis of seismic behavior in steel-beam reinforced concrete column (RCS) frames versus steel and reinforced concrete frames. The study evaluates the seismic response and collapse behavior of RCS frames of varying heights through nonlinear modeling. RCS, steel, and reinforced concrete special moment frames are considered in three height categories: 5, 10, and 20 stories. Two-dimensional frames are extracted from the three-dimensional structures, and nonlinear static analyses are conducted in the OpenSEES software to evaluate seismic response in post-yield regions. Incremental dynamic analysis is then performed on models, and collapse conditions are compared using fragility curves. Research findings indicate that the seismic intensity index in steel frames is 1.35 times greater than in RCS frames and 1.14 times greater than in reinforced concrete frames. As the number of stories increases, RCS frames exhibit more favorable collapse behavior compared to reinforced concrete frames. RCS frames demonstrate stable behavior and maintain capacity at high displacement levels, with uniform drift curves and lower damage levels compared to steel and reinforced concrete frames. Steel frames show superior strength and ductility, particularly in taller structures. RCS frames outperform reinforced concrete frames, displaying improved collapse behavior and higher capacity. Incremental Dynamic Analysis results confirm satisfactory collapse capacity for RCS frames. Steel frames collapse at higher intensity levels but perform better overall. RCS frames have a higher collapse capacity than reinforced concrete frames. Fragility curves show a lower likelihood of collapse for steel structures, while RCS frames perform better with an increase in the number of stories.

The stress collapse in the formation of shear bands in elasto-thermo-viscoplatic materials is systematically studied within the framework of one-dimensional formulation via analytical and numerical methods. The elastic energy released in a domain is found to play an important role in the collapse behavior of shear localization. A non-dimensional parameter named the stability indicator is introduced to characterize the collapse behavior, with approximate forms of the incremental governing equations. The stability indicator offers useful information regarding the degree of severity of an abrupt change of deformations during the stress collapse. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the stability indicator by varying material properties.

일반설계에서 탄성거동을 전제로 구조물을 설계하는 것과 달리 내진설계는 구조물의 소성거동을 규명하고 조정하여 붕괴를 방지하는 것이 목적이다. 일반교량의 경우에 요구되는 붕괴방지수준은 교량의 특정한 구조부재의 소성거동으로 낙교를 방지하여 지진발생 이후에 긴급차량의 통과를 가능하게 하는 것이다. 이러한 소성거동은 연결부분 또는 교각기둥에 제한되고 각 경우에 적절한 조치가 요구된다. 도로교설계기준은 교각기둥에서 소성힌지를 형성하여 연성붕괴기구를 구성하는 설계방식과 함께 철근콘크리트 교각을 하부구조로 하는 교량을 대상으로 연결부분의 항복을 이용하여 취성붕괴기구를 구성하는 연성도 내진설계를 부록으로 제시하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 교각기둥과 강재받침으로 설계된 일반교량을 선정하고 연성붕괴기구와 취성붕괴기구를 모두 고려한 붕괴방지 설계절차 및 도로교설계기준에 요구되는 수정사항을 제안하였다.

This paper is to investigate the micro-behavior of the double-span beams with WUF-W seismic connection under combined axial tension and moment and to propose the rational rotational capacity of it for progressive collapse-resistant analysis and design addressing the stress and strain transfer mechanism. To this end, the behavior of the double-span beams under the column missing event is first investigated using the advanced nonlinear finite element analysis. The characteristics of fracture indices of double-span beams with WUF-W connection under combined axial tension and flexural moment are addressed and then proposed the rational rotational capacity as the basic datum for the progressive collapse-resistant design and analysis. The distribution of fracture indices related to stress and strain for the double-span beams is investigated based on a material and geometric nonlinear finite element analysis. Furthermore, the micro-behavior for earthquake and progressive collapse is explicitly different.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bend angle on the collapse behavior of locally wall thinned pipe bends. For this purpose, the present study performed three-dimensional finite element analysis on the 30-, 60-, and 90-degree pipe bends with local wall thinning at the center of intrados, extrados, and crown, and evaluated the collapse moment for different thinning dimensions under closing- and opening-mode bending with a constant internal pressure. The results showed that, for intrados and extrados wall thinning, the reduction in the collapse moment due to local wall thinning became significant with decreasing bend angle of pipe bends. This effect of bend angle was enhanced with increasing thinning dimensions, and it was clearer fur opening-mode bending than for closing-mode bending. For crown wall thinning, however, the effect of bend angle was unclear and was less sensitive to the change of wall thinning shapes.

발파해체 되는 철근콘크리트 구조물은 교대하중에 의해 정형구조에서 비정형구조로 변환되며 붕괴거동은 비선형적인 대변위 거동을 한다. 철근콘크리트 구조물의 붕괴거동에 대한 많은 수치 모델링 연구가 수행되었지만, 비선형적인 대변위 거동을 해석하기에는 아직 부족한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 철근콘크리트 구조물을 1/5로 축소한 축소모형 구조물을 제작하였다. 전도공법으로 1층, 3층, 5층 축소모형 구조물을 발파하여 상부 자중에 의한 구조물의 붕괴 가능성을 고찰하였으며, 구조물의 붕괴거동을 X 방향(수평방향)의 변위, Z 방향(수직방향)의 변위, 상대 변위각으로 분석하였다. 실험결과 자중에 의한 구조물의 붕괴를 유도하기 위한 상부 자중의 크기를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 구조물의 붕괴에 따른 X 방향의 변위와 Z방향의 변위는 발파 후 67 ms, 300 ms부터 서서히 증가하였고, 교대하중에 의해 3층 구조물의 초기 붕괴 속도가 5층 구조물보다 크게 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
