For evaluation of building performance, a nonlinear dynamic capacity of the building is a key parameter. In this study, an reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame building was chosen to study the process of determining the nonlinear dynamic capacity. The building, which was designed by IBC 2003 representing new codes, was composed of special moment resisting frames in the perimeter and internal frames inside the building. The capacity, which is inter-story drift capacity, consists of two categories, local and global collapses. Global collapse capacity was determined by incremental dynamic analysis. Local collapse capacity was determined by the same method except for utilizing damage index. In audition to this, it was also investigated that the effect of including internal frames designed by gravity load in the analysis. Results showed that the damage index is a useful tool for determining local collapse. Furthermore, including the internal frames with special frames in the analysis is very important in determining the capacity of a building so both must be considered at the same time.

Elevated water tanks are inverted pendulum type structures where drift limit is an important criterion for seismic design and performance evaluation. Explicit drift criteria for elevated water tanks are not available in the literature. In this study, probabilistic approach is used to determine maximum drift limit for damage state of yielding and damage state of collapse for the elevated water tanks supported on RC frame staging. The two damage states are defined using results of incremental dynamic analysis wherein a total of 2160 nonlinear time history analyses are performed using twelve artificial spectrum compatible ground motions. Analytical fragility curves are developed using two-parameter lognormal distribution. The maximum allowable drifts corresponding to yield and collapse level requirements are estimated for different tank capacities. Finally, a single fragility curve is developed which provides maximum drift values for the different probability of damage. Further, for rational consideration of the uncertainties in design, three confidence levels are selected and corresponding drift limits for damage states of yielding and collapse are proposed. These values of maximum drift can be used in performance-based seismic design for a particular damage state depending on the level of confidence.

In this paper, a new voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI) based on system apparent power loss sensitivity is proposed. The newly proposed index .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ reaches -.inf. at system voltage collapse point and can be represented by .root..lambda.$^{Ploss}$$^{2}$+.lambda.$^{Qloss}$$^{2}$ where .lambda.$^{Ploss}$ and .lambda.$^{Qloss}$ are the VCPI based on the system active and reactive power loss sensitivity respectively. These indices can be used for the system VAR investment. .DELTA.Q [VAR] is invested, step by step, by the priority of the VCPI index given for each bus. The indices use information from normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Computation time for deriving .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ is almost same as that for power flow calculation. Two case studies prove the effectiveness of the .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ index and the VAR investment algorithm proposed.

The saddle node bifurcation (SNB) and the distance voltage instability are valuable information in power system planning and operation. This paper presents a new efficient, robust and unified strategy to compute the SNB by the combined use of the continuation power flow (CPF), Point of Collapse (PoC) method, and the method of a pair of multiple load flow solutions (PMLFS) with Lagrange interpolation utilizing only their advantages: the approximate nose curves and critical loading are determined fast by Lagrange-interpolating two stable and two unstable solutions obtained by using the robust CPF and PMLFS; the exact SNB is computed by the quadratically converging PoC method. The proposed method has been tested on Klos-Kerner 11-bus, New England 30-bus, IEEE 118-bus and KEPCO 791-bus systems. The method is found to be so efficient that computation time for determining the SNB of the KEPCO 791-bus system is 17.82 sec by a notebook PC with 300 MHz Pentium processor.

This paper proposes a Global-Local Analysis Method (GLAM) to assess the progressive collapse of steel framed structures under fire-induced column failure. GLAM obtains the overall structural response by combining dynamic analysis of the heated column (local) with static analysis of the overall structure (global). Test results of two steel frames which explicitly consider the dynamic effect during fire-induced column failure were employed to validate the proposed GLAM. Results show that GLAM gives reasonable predictions to the test frames in terms of both whether to collapse and the displacement verse temperature curves. Besides, several case studies of a two-dimensional (2D) steel frame and a three-dimensional (3D) steel frame with concrete slabs were conducted by using GLAM. Results show that GLAM gives the same collapse predictions to the studied cases with nonlinear dynamic analysis of the whole structure model. Compared with nonlinear dynamic analysis of the whole structure model, GLAM saves approximately 70% and 99% CPU time for the cases of 2D and 3D steel frame, respectively. Results also show that the load level of a structure has notable effects on the restraint condition of a heated column in the structure.

TBM is widely used in the construction of various underground projects in the current world, and has the unique advantages that cannot be compared with traditional excavation methods. However, due to the high cost of TBM, the damage is even greater when geological disasters such as collapse occur during excavation. At present, there is still a shortage of research on various types of risk prediction of TBM tunnel, and accurate and reliable risk prediction model is an important theoretical basis for timely risk avoidance during construction. In this paper, a prediction model is proposed to evaluate the risk level of tunnel collapse by establishing a reasonable risk index system, using analytic hierarchy process to determine the index weight, and using the normal cloud model theory. At the same time, the traditional analytic hierarchy process is improved and optimized to ensure the objectivity of the weight values of the indicators in the prediction process, and the qualitative indicators are quantified so that they can directly participate in the process of risk prediction calculation. Through the practical engineering application, the feasibility and accuracy of the method are verified, and further optimization can be analyzed and discussed.

본 논문에서는 비선형정적해석 방법을 이용하여 기존의 연쇄붕괴 선형정적해석 절차에 수반되는 반복과정을 자동으로 수행하면서도 선형해석 결과와 동일한 결과를 나타내는 새로운 연쇄붕괴 해석절차를 제안하였다. 제안된 해석절차는 GSA 기준에 규정된 기존 선형정적해석법의 단점인 반복적 해석작업 및 그 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 시간과 오류의 가능성을 최소화하여 해석결과의 신뢰성을 확보가 있는 선형정적해석 절차이다. 제안된 해석절차를 검증하기 위하여 철근콘크리트 모멘트골조 및 철골 가새골조의 최하층 기둥부재를 제거한 후 기존 해석법과 제안 해석법을 적용하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 제안된 해석절차는 구조물의 붕괴여부의 판정 및 힌지 분포에 있어서 기존의 선형정적해석과 동일한 결과를 나타내었으며, 반복해석 과정이 불필요하므로 기존 해석법에 비하여 매우 짧은 시간에 해석을 수행할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

TBM 터널 프로젝트 내 불확실성으로 인한 사고를 예방하기 위해 리스크 관리는 필수적이다. 특히, 터널 막장면부터 지표면까지의 광범위한 피해를 초래할 수 있는 TBM 터널 붕괴는 더욱 신중히 관리되어야 한다. 또한, 각 TBM 터널 프로젝트의 시간과 비용의 제약으로 인해, 합리적 수준의 대응조치 계획을 수립하기 위한 리스크 우선순위를 도출할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 TBM 사고 사례조사를 통해 TBM 리스크 데이터베이스를 구축하였고, 베이즈 정리를 활용하여 지질요인의 TBM 터널 붕괴 리스크 우선순위를 도출하였다. 총 87건의 TBM 사고사례를 기반으로 3가지 사건과 5가지 지질요인을 포함한 TBM 리스크 데이터베이스가 구축되었다. 이때, 자갈층 지반, 고수압 함수대는 관련 사례 수가 적어 통계적 편향을 방지하기 위해 제외되었다. 데이터베이스에 베이즈 정리를 적용한 결과, 단층대와 연약지반은 TBM 터널 붕괴의 발생확률을 상당히 증가시키나, 그 외 3가지 지질요인(복합지반, 높은 상재압력, 팽창성 지반)은 붕괴와 낮은 상관성을 보였다. 결과적으로, 지질요인의 TBM 터널 붕괴 리스크 우선순위는 다음과 같다: 1) 단층대, 2) 연약지반, 3) 복합지반, 4) 높은 상재압력, 5) 팽창성 지반.

The use of wind energy resources is developing rapidly in recent decades. There is an increasing number of wind farms in high wind-velocity areas such as the Pacific Rim regions. Wind turbine towers are vulnerable to tropical cyclones and tower failures have been reported in an increasing number in these regions. Existing post-disaster failure case studies were mostly performed through forensic investigations and there are few numerical studies that address the collapse mode simulation of wind turbine towers under strong wind loads. In this paper, the wind-induced failure analysis of a conventional 65 m hub high 1.5-MW wind turbine was carried out by means of nonlinear response time-history analyses in a detailed finite element model of the structure. The wind loading was generated based on the wind field parameters adapted from the cyclone boundary layer flow. The analysis results indicate that this particular tower fails due to the formation of a full-section plastic hinge at locations that are consistent with those reported from field investigations, which suggests the validity of the proposed numerical analysis in the assessment of the performance of wind-farms under cyclonic winds. Furthermore, the numerical simulation allows to distinguish different failure stages before the dynamic collapse occurs in the proposed wind turbine tower, opening the door to future research on the control of these intermediate collapse phases.
