The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of vertical ground motion (VGM) on seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) regular frame with construction joints, and determine more proper modeling method for cast-in-situ RC frame. The four-story RC frames in the regions of 7, 8 and 9 earthquake intensity were analyzed with nonlinear dynamic time-history method. Two different methods of ground motion input, horizontal ground motion (HGM) input only, VGM and HGM input simultaneously were performed. Seismic responses in terms of the maximum vertex displacement, the maximum inter-story drift distribution and the plastic hinge distribution were analyzed. The results show that VGM might increase or decrease the horizontal maximum vertex displacement depending on the value of axial load ratio of column. And it will increase the maximum inter-story drift and change its distribution. Finally, proper modeling method is proposed according to the distribution of plastic hinges, which is in well agreement with the actual earthquake damage.

In this study the seismic risk assessments of six- and twelve-story staggered wall system structures with three different structural variations were performed. The performances of staggered wall structures with added columns along the central corridor and the structures with their first story walls replaced by beams and columns were compared with those of the regular staggered wall structures. To this end incremental dynamic analyses were carried out using twenty two pairs of earthquake records to obtain the failure probabilities for various intensity of seismic load. The seismic risk for each damage state was computed based on the fragility analysis results and the probability of occurrence of earthquake ground motions. According to the analysis results, it was observed that the structures with added columns along the central corridor showed lowest probability of failure and seismic risk. The structures with their first story walls replaced by beams and columns showed lowest margin for safety.

It has been realized that the design codes and underlying design concept of high seismicity region may not be appropriate to low and moderate seismicity regions. The aim of this paper is to search seismic design strategies that are appropriate to moderate seismicity regions. The characteristics of seismic hazard in moderate seismicity regions are reviewed. The seismic responses of multi-span continuous bridges subjected to the ground shaking of moderate intensity are examined. The present code on seismic design of bridges is briefly reviewed. Based on these observations, design principles and strategies appropriate to the moderate seismicity regions are proposed for the multi-span continuous bridge

The design concepts using vibration reduction techniques, or structural control, have been proposed recently to protect infrastructure against earthquakes. The magnetorheological(MR) fluid damper is one of the most promising new devices for structural vibration reduction because of its mechanical simplicity, high dynamic range, low power requirement, large force capacity and robustness. In this study, the seismic performance of MR devices are compared with that of NZ systems as an attempt to provide some data for improving seismic design techniques applied to structures. For nonlinear time domain analysis of a base isolation system, a six-story building model is considered as a numerical example. The ground acceleration data of El Centre 1940, Mexico City 1985 and Kobe 1995 earthquakes are used as seismic excitations. The results show that MR damper systems for outperform NZ systems in wide-ranging seismic excitations with respect to intensity and period characteristics.

Color-code imaging should be one of the best display tools for the quick perception of both damage area and its intensity, In this study we proposed the standard color code corresponding to maximum observed acceleration value. Since the acceleration value changes with frequency contents, we suggested to limit the frequency band less than 10Hz. The background considerations of this limitation, magnitude vs. dominant frequency, natural characteristics of artificial noises and the relationship between velocity and acceleration, were reviewed in detail. The standard of color code was assigned from 0.001%g to 20%g based on the possible earthquakes at Korean peninsula and the color imaging given by RGB value was shown to be very consistent, irrespective of hardware configuration.

Nonlinear static analysis is used to quantify the resistance of the structure to lateral deformation and to gauge the mode of deformation and intensity of local demands. A simple method for the nonlinear static analysis of complex building structures subjected to monotonically increasing horizontal loading(pushover analysis) is presented. The method is designed to be a part of new methodologies for the seismic design and evaluation of structures. A variety of existing pushover analysis procedures are currently being consolidated under programs such as ATC 40 and FEMA 273. And various techniques have been recommended, including the use of constant lateral force profiles and the use of adaptive and multimodal approaches. In this paper a modal pushover analysis using design response spectra of UBC 97 is proposed. Proposed method is compared against the method in FEMA 273 and ATC 40, and results of time history analysis.

The seismic overstrength factor $\Omega$ is evaluated for 4-story reinforced concrete buildings in Korea(of which seismic intensity is low). The study model is designed according to aseismic guideline research - phase II in Korea. The effect of variation of span length and bay number, dead load is considered, especially including the variation of hardening ration after yielding. And push-over analysis is performed, in which the external and internal frame is connected by rigid-link and the $\Omega$ is calculated using the roof drift ratio at 2%. For Zone I, the mean value of $\Omega$ is ranged form 2.3 to 2.5, For Zone II, from 3.1 to 3.4. For low hardening ratio(3%) after yielding, $\Omega$ has little relations with the number of bay, like as the results of other research. But for 5% hardening ratio, $\Omega$ is increased as the number of bay is increased. Within general gravity-load bound, the variation of D.L. has variation of D. L. has no effect on $\Omega$. And, $\Omega$ is increased as the span length is increased.

The angled crack which is the simplest and representative case in the mixed mode crack analysis has stimulated the interests of many investigators during past 20 years. In this study the conventional quadratic isoparametric elements were used in all regions except the crack tip zone where triangular singularity elements with 6 nodes were used. The stress intensity factor of K1 and KII were determined respectively by the displacement correlation method. The finite element analysis program in this paper based on maximum energy release rate criteria and the results obtaiend by this program were compared with those calculated from the maximum circumferential tensile criteria and those by Jenq and Shah's experiments of the same geometry and material properties

진도의 거리에 따른 감쇠양상은 두가치 측면에서 중요하다. 첫째는 역사지진의 크기를 평가하는데 사용되고 둘째는 역사지진자료를 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하는데 이용된다. 한반도의 경우 대부분의 지진활동 자료가 역사지진이므로 이지진들의 크기를 결정하고 이들을 이용하여 지진위험도를 평가하기 위하여 합리적인 진도감쇠양상의 결정은 매우 중요한 과제라 할수 있다 진도의 감쇠양상은 진앙진도와 진앙거리 등 두요소에 같이 의존함이 알려져 있으므로 한반도에서 MMI VIII만의 지진자료를 이용하여 결정된 Lee의 기존의 감쇠공식은 그 사용범위에 한계가 불가피하므로 상기 두 가지 요소를 함께 고려한 새로운 감쇠공식의 유도가 요구되어진다. 지체구조적으로 Sino-Korean 지괴라고 불리우는 중국 북동부와 한반도에서 발생한 MMI VIII-X 지진들의 자료를 이용하여 한반도에서 발생하는 MMI VIII-X의 강진들에 대한 새로운 진도감쇠양상을 결정하였다.

This paper presents a comparative study of the damage potentials for the 2016 Gyeongju and 2017 Pohang earthquakes in Korea. Plausible technical explanations are provided for the more severe damage observed in the 2017 Pohang earthquake in spite of its relatively weaker magnitude and intensity measures based on the response analysis of elastic and inelastic single-degree-of-freedom systems for the recorded ground motions. In addition, a detailed case study was conducted for a fatally damaged piloti building with an eccentric shear wall core based on nonlinear dynamic analysis using the input ground motions modified for the building site.
