Investigations on seismic performance of eccentrically braced frames equipped with dual vertical links have received little attention. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to describe design steps for such frames and evaluate nonlinear performance of this system according to the reliability analysis. In this study, four and eight story frame structures are analyzed and the response modification factors for different intensity and damage levels are derived in a matrix form based on a new approach. According to the obtained results, the system has high ductility and acceptable seismic performance. Moreover, it is concluded that using response modification factor equal to 8 in the design of system provides desirable seismic reliability under the design and maximum probable hazard levels. Due to desirable performance and significant advantages of the dual vertical links, this system can be used as a main lateral load bearing system, in addition to its application for rehabilitation of damaged structures.

최근, 콘크리트 충전 강교각은 신속한 시공과 뛰어난 연성능력으로 인해 도심지에서 철근 콘크리트 교각의 대안이 되고 있다. 이러한 콘크리트 충전 강교각은 내진 설계에서도 훌륭한 성능을 발휘할 수 있으나 내진 설계의 가이드가 없어 내진 설계시 그 성능을 모두 반영하지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 이에 실제 적용을 위해 콘크리트 충전 강교각 실험으로부터 얻어진 실험치로부터 내진 설계에 지침이 될 수 있는 가이드를 제시하고자 한다. 콘크리트 충전 강교각과 일반 강교각의 연성 능력을 평가하기 위해 준 정적 반복 재하 실험을 수행하고, 지진 거동을 검증하기 위해 고베 지진을 입력 데이타로 한 유사 동적 실험을 수행한다. 콘크리트 충전 강교각은 일반 강교각에 비해 만족할 만한 연성도와 강도를 보이고, 동적 거동은 상대적으로 큰 이력감쇠를 증명한다. 실험으로 얻어진 데이터를 근거로 하여 콘크리트 충전 강교각의 내진 성능을 정량화 하고, 탄성응답 스펙트럼에 의한 지진응답 수정계수법과 유효 점성 감쇠를 이용한 성능 곡선 및 요구 스펙트럼에 의한 성능기초 설계법의 비교를 통하여, 콘크리트 충전 강교각과 일반 강교각의 내진 성능을 평가한다. 이러한 내진 성능 평가를 기초로 하여, 일반 강교각과 더불어 내진 설계에 적용할 수 있는 콘크리트 충전 강교각의 지진응답 수정계수를 제시한다.

To evaluate seismic performance of bridges, two procedures far capacity spectrum method are presented. The capacity spectrum procedures include the reduction factor-ductility-period relationship in order to construct the inelastic demand spectra from the elastic demand spectra. Application of the procedures is illustrated by example analysis. Maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are, on overall, smaller than those by the inelastic time history analysis

A study has been made to clarify the microstructural effect on static tensile properties of the dual phase steel, in which the martensitic phase encapsulated islands of ferritic phase. The main results are as follows: Yield strength is associated with the degree of plastic constraint factor and tensile strength increases with increasing of strain hardening exponent. Also, the variation of ductility is dependent upon the amount of micro-brittle facets.

In current ductility-based earthquake-resistant design, the estimation of design forces continues to be carried out with the application of response modification factors on elastic design spectra. It is well-known that the response modification factor (R) takes into account the force reduction, strength, redundancy, and damping of structural systems. The key components of the response modification factor (R) are force reduction ($R_{\mu}$) and strength ($R_S$) factors. However, the response modification and strength factors for structural systems presented in design codes were based on professional judgment and experiences. A numerical study has been accomplished to evaluate force reduction, strength, and response modification factors for special steel moment resisting frames. A total of 72 prototype steel frames were designed based on the recommendations given in the AISC Seismic Provisions and UBC Codes. Number of stories, soil profiles, seismic zone factors, framing systems, and failure mechanisms were considered as the design parameters that influence the response. The effects of the design parameters on force reduction ($R_{\mu}$), strength ($R_S$), and response modification (R) factors were studied. Based on the analysis results, these factors for special steel moment resisting frames are evaluated.

This test focuses on the correlation between the lubrication, ductility and strength through the change of nut lubricant which decides joining angle for A490 bolt sets required in the AASHTO (American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials). Because the lubrication of high tension bolt, nut, washer sets becomes an important factor to ductility and joining load, the quality improvement is required for improving reliability and securing enough lubrication of maker and user. This study examines the quality characteristics required in the specification through tests because only this standard specifies joining quality in the extreme conditions (as much about two times of the joining angle on site as normal condition). Moreover, this study is limited to the test on joining axial force required in the AASHTO for the three nut lubrication conditions of A490 bolt set. It is concluded that the nuts should be coated or waxed enough for the improvement of the joining axial force and ductility of bolts required in the standards. It is shown that in the case of plain high tension bolt sets, a rust preventing lubricative oil shall be applied and the torque coefficient value for A490 bolt sets should be maintained below 0.175.

This study examines the material characteristics of fibers and their influences on reinforced concrete through the tests of reinforced concrete by the types of fibers including non-reinforced, steel, polypropylene and cellulose fibers and the test of compressive strength and reinforced concrete beam without shear reinforcement and consequently it obtains the following conclusions. As a result of conducting compressive strength by the types of specimens, fiber reinforced specimen with the highest compressive strength value at 28 days of age was cellulose fiber reinforced specimen as 280.4kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and steel fiber specimen had the highest compressive strength of 250.7kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 180 days of age. In case of non-reinforced specimen, its compressive strength was 277.4kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 28 days of age and 273.1kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 180 days of age. Comparing the compressive strength of non-reinforced specimen to that fiber reinforced specimen showed that the compressive strength of fiber reinforced specimen was lower in the passage of age and the results of this experiment showed no effects of fiber reinforcement. As a result of testing reinforced concrete beam without shear reinforcement, ductility factors of specimens were 4.67 for non-reinforced specimen, 8.18 for steel fiber reinforced specimen, 6.20 for polypropylene fiber reinforced specimen and 5.49 for cellulose reinforced specimen, and it is found that steel fiber reinforced specimen was highest. When non-reinforced specimen and steel fiber reinforced specimen were compared, steel fiber reinforced specimen had higher ductility factor of about 75.2% than that of non-reinforced specimen.

This paper presents the details of studies conducted on hollow concrete block masonry (HCBM) units and wall panels. This study includes, compressive strength of unit block, ungrouted and grouted HCB prisms, flexural strength evaluation, testing of HCBM panels with and without opening. Non-linear finite element (FE) analysis of HCBM panels with and without opening has been carried out by simulating the actual test conditions. Constant vertical load is applied on the top of the wall panel and then lateral load is applied in incremental manner. The in-plane deformation is recorded under each incremental lateral load. Displacement ductility factors and response reduction factors have been evaluated based on experimental results. From the study, it is observed that fully grouted and partially reinforced HCBM panel without opening performed well compared to other types of wall panels in lateral load resistance and displacement ductility. In all the wall panels, shear cracks originated at loading point and moved towards the compression toe of the wall. The force reduction factor of a wall panel with opening is much less when compared with fully reinforced wall panel with no opening. The displacement values obtained by non-linear FE analysis are found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values. The influence of mortar joint has been included in the stress-strain behaviour as a monolith with HCBM and not considered separately. The derived response reduction factors will be useful for the design of reinforced HCBM wall panels subjected to lateral forces generated due to earthquakes.

본 연구의 궁극적인 목표는 콘크리트 교량의 교각을 Steel Jacket으로 보강한 효과를 정량적으로 산정함으로써, 지진 발생시 도로/교통 시스템의 역할을 평가할 수 있는 자료를 제공하는 데에 있다. Steel Jacket으로 보강 시, 교각의 연성능력이 어느 정도 증가되는지, 또 그로 인해 교량의 취약 상태가 어느 정도 개선되는지를 취약도 곡선을 통하여 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 해석적으로 구한 취약도 곡선이, 과거 지진 발생시 수집된 손상 자료를 이용하여 작성된 보강이 안된 교량의 취약도 곡선을 보정하는데 사용하였다. 그 보정은 Steel Jacket 보강 전과 후의 취약도 곡선상의 중간 값들을 비교해 그 증가분 만큼을 반영하는 방식으로 수행되었다.
