본 연구에서는 최근 도심지에서 발생하고 있는 지반함몰에 대하여 도로의 붕괴 가능성을 높이는 지하공동 영향인자에 대한 수치해석적 분석을 수행하였다. 지하공동으로 인한 지반함몰 영향 인자는 서울시에서 제안한 공동관리 등급제를 참고하여 아스팔트 포장층의 두께, 토피고, 공동 폭을 고려하였고, 본 연구에서 추가로 공동의 높이를 선정하였다. 이들 영향 인자들을 다양한 범위 내에서 변화시킨 조건에서 지하공동이 있는 아스팔트 포장층 상단에 집중하중과 등분포하중을 각각 변위제어하여 도로 파괴하중을 분석하였다. 분석된 파괴하중을 토대로 서울형 공동관리 등급제에 대한 적용성을 평가하였다. 해석 결과 공동의 높이가 파괴에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았으며 이외의 다른 인자에 따라 복합적으로 파괴하중이 결정되었다. 또한 파괴하중을 기준으로 한 공동분류 방법은 공동 조건을 기준으로 한 분류 방법보다 더 세밀한 분류가 가능하며 파괴 시 물리적인 현상을 반영할 수 있어 더 합리적인 방법이다.

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.

The aim of the paper is the prediction of the seismic collapse mode of steel storage pallet racks under seismic loads. The attention paid by the researchers on the behaviour of the industrial steel storage pallets racks is increased over the years thanks to their high dead-to-live load ratio. In fact, these structures, generally made by cold-formed thin-walled profiles, present very low structural costs but can support large and expensive loads. The paper presents a prediction of the seismic collapse modes of multi-storey racks. The analysis of the possible collapse modes has been made by an approach based on the kinematic theorem of plastic collapse extended to the second order effects by means of the concept of collapse mechanism equilibrium curve. In this way, the dissipative behaviour of racks is determined with a simpler method than the pushover analysis. Parametric analyses have been performed on 24 racks, differing for the geometric layout and cross-section of the components, designed in according to the EN16618 and EN15512 requirements. The obtained results have highlighted that, in all the considered cases, the global collapse mechanism, that is the safest one, never develops, leading to a dangerous situation that must be avoided to preserve the structure during a seismic event. Although the studied racks follow all the codes prescriptions, the development of a dissipative collapse mechanism is not achieved. In addition, also the variability of load distribution has been considered, reflecting the different pallet positions assumed during the in-service life of the racks, to point out its influence on the collapse mechanism. The information carried out from the paper can be very useful for designers and manufacturers because it allows to better understand the racks behaviour in seismic load condition.

In this research the effect of seismic design level as a practical approach for progressive collapse mitigation and reaching desired structural safety against it in seismically designed concentric braced frame buildings was investigated. It was achieved by performing preliminary and advanced progressive collapse analysis of several split-X braced frame buildings, designed for each seismic zone according to UBC 97 and by applying various Seismic Load Factors (SLFs). The outer frames of such structures were studied for collapse progression while losing one column and connected brace in the first story. Preliminary analysis results showed the necessity of performing advanced element loss analysis, consisting of Vertical Incremental Dynamic Analysis (VIDA) and Performance-Based Analysis (PBA), in order to compute the progressive collapse safety of the structures while increasing SLF for each seismic zone. In addition, by sensitivity analysis it became possible to introduce the equation of structural safety against progressive collapse for concentrically braced frames as a function of SLF for each seismic zone. Finally, the equation of progressive collapse safety as a function of bracing member capacity was presented.

The occurrence of progressive collapse induced by the removal of the vertical load-bearing element in the structure, because of fire or earthquake, has been a significant challenge between structural engineers. Progressive collapse is defined as the complete failure or failure of a part of the structure, initiating with a local rupture in a part of the building and can threaten the stability of the structure. In the current study, the behavior of the structures equipped with a cylindrical friction damper, when the vertical load-bearing elements are eliminated, is considered in two cases: 1-The load-bearing element is removed under the gravity load, and 2-The load-bearing element is removed due to the earthquake lateral forces. In order to obtain a generalized result in the seismic case, 22 pair motions presented in FEMA p 695 are applied to the structures. The study has been conducted using the vertical push down analysis for the case (1), and the nonlinear time-history analysis for the second case using OpenSEES software for 5,10, and 15-story steel frames. Results indicate that, in the first case, the load coefficient, and accordingly the strength of the structure equipped with cylindrical friction dampers are increased considerably. Furthermore, the results from the second case demonstrate that the displacements, and consequently the forces imposed to the structure in the buildings equipped with the cylindrical friction damper substantially was reduced. An optimum slip load is defined in the friction dampers, which permits the damper to start its frictional damping from this threshold load. Therefore, the optimum slip load of the damper is calculated and discussed for both cases.

The analysis concerns collapse behavior of framed vehicle models with the change of design parameters at the initial stage of conceptual design. Collapse analysis of a vehicle model with framed structures has been carried out using finite element limit analysis. The analysis makes sequential changes of design parameters from an initial model with frames of uniform section so as to stage then weak parts. As a result of those design changes, the collapse load of a model has been increased and the deflection toward a passenger room has been reduced. The results demonstrate the versatility of finite element limit analysis as a tool that confirms the safety of vehicle models.

The optimal plastic design of framed structures has been treated as the minimum weight design while satisfying the limit equilibrium condition that the structure may not fail in any of the all possible collapse modes before the specified design ultimate load is reached. Conventional optimum frame designs assume that a continuous spectrum of member size is available. In fact, the vailable sections merely consist of a finite range of discrete member sizes. Optimum frame design using discrete sections has been performed by adopting the plastic collapse theory and using the Complex Method of Box. This study has presented an iterative approach to the optimal plastic design of plane structures that involves the performance of a series of minimum weight design where the limit equilibrium equation pertaining to the critical collapse mode is added to the constraint set for the next design. The critical collapse mode is found by the collapse load analysis that is formulated as a linear programming problem. This area of research is currently being studied. This study would be applied and extended to design the larger and more complex framed structures.

The uncertainty often observed in experimental strengths of masonry constituents makes critical the selection of the appropriate inputs in finite element analysis of complex masonry buildings, as well as requires modelling the building ultimate load as a random variable. On the other hand, the utilization of expensive Monte Carlo simulations to estimate collapse load probability distributions may become computationally impractical when a single analysis of a complex building requires hours of computer calculations. To reduce the computational cost of Monte Carlo simulations, direct computer calculations can be replaced with inexpensive Response Surface (RS) models. This work investigates the use of RS models in Monte Carlo analysis of complex masonry buildings with random input parameters. The accuracy of the estimated RS models, as well as the good estimations of the collapse load cumulative distributions obtained via polynomial RS models, show how the proposed approach could be a useful tool in problems of technical interest.

1968년 영국의 Ronan Point 아파트에서 발생한 연쇄붕괴 이후 이에 대한 연구가 간헐적으로 진행되어 왔으며, 최근 미국의 World Trade Center 붕괴 후 연쇄붕괴에 대한 연구가 다시 활발히 진행되고 있다. 미국에서는 기존의 연구결과를 바탕으로 2003년 GSA 및 2005년 DoD에서 연쇄붕괴에 대한 설계 및 해석 지침을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지침서에서 제시하고 있는 선형정적해석법과, 선형동적해석법을 사용하여 국내 설계기준에 의해 설계된 철골 모멘트저항골조에 대한 붕괴저항 성능을 조사하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 GSA 기준을 적용할 경우 횡력을 고려하지 않은 수직저항시스템은 연쇄 붕괴에 취약한 것으로 나타났으나, 지진력을 고려하여 설계된 수평저항시스템은 연쇄붕괴에 대해 안전한 결과를 얻었다. 하지만 DoD 기준에 따르면 두 시스템 모두 연쇄붕괴에 취약한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC beam-column subassemblage with and without strengthening was investigated. Total of five specimens were tested; two unreinforced specimens, the one designed as gravity load-resisting system and the other as seismic load-resisting system, and three specimens reinforced with: (i) bonded strand, (ii) unbonded strand, and (iii) side steel plates with stud bolts. The two-span subassemblages were designed as part of an eight-story RC building. Monotonically increasing load was applied at the middle column of the specimens and the force-displacement relationships were plotted. It was observed that the gravity load-resisting specimen failed by fractures of re-bars in the beams. In the other specimens no failure was observed until the maximum displacement capacity of the actuator was reached. Highest strength was observed in the structure with unbonded strand. The test result of the specimen with side steel plates in beam-column joints showed that the force-displacement curve increased without fracture of re-bars. Based on the test results it was concluded that the progressive collapse resisting capacity of a RC frame could be significantly enhanced using unbonded strands or side plates with stud bolts.
