  • According to experimental studies made so far, design formula of shear characteristics suggested by ISO 22762 and JEAG 4614, representative design code for Lead Rubber Bearing(LRB) shows dependence caused by changes in compressive stress. Especially, in the case of atypical special structure, such as a nuclear power structure, placement of seismic isolation bearing is more limited compared to that of existing structures and design compressive stress is various in sizes. As a result, there is a difference between design factor and real behavior with regards to shear characteristics of base isolation device, depending on compressive stress. In this study, a full-scale low hardness device of LRB, representative base isolation device was manufactured, analyzed, and then evaluated through an experiment on shear characteristics related to various compressive stresses. With design compressive stress of the full-scale LRB (13MPa) being a basis, changes in shear characteristics were analyzed for compressive stress of 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 13 MPa, 15 MPa, and 20 MPa based on characteristics test specified by ISO 22762:2010 and based on the test result, a regression analysis was made to offer an empirical formula. With application of proposed design formula which reflected the existing design formula and empirical formula, trend of horizontal characteristics was analyzed.

  • No significant improvement has been observed on the seismic performance of the ordinary steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns compared with the reinforced concrete (RC) columns mainly because I, H or core cross-shaped steel cannot provide sufficient confinement for core concrete. Two improved SRC columns by constructing with new-type section steel were put forward on this background: a cross-shaped steel whose flanges are in contact with concrete cover by extending the geometry of webs, and a rotated cross-shaped steel whose webs coincide with diagonal line of the column's section. The advantages of new-type SRC columns have been proved theoretically and experimentally, while construction measures and seismic behavior remain unclear when the new-type columns are joined onto SRC beams. Seismic behavior of SRC joints with new-type section steel were experimentally investigated by testing 5 specimens subjected to low reversed cyclic loading, mainly including the failure patterns, hysteretic loops, skeleton curves, energy dissipation capacity, strength and stiffness degradation and ductility. Effects of steel shape, load angel and construction measures on seismic behavior of joints were also analyzed. The test results indicate that the new-type joints display shear failure pattern under seismic loading, and steel and concrete of core region could bear larger load and tend to be stable although the specimens are close to failure. The hysteretic curves of new-type joints are plumper whose equivalent viscous damping coefficients and ductility factors are over 0.38 and 3.2 respectively, and this illustrates the energy dissipation capacity and deformation ability of new-type SRC joints are better than that of ordinary ones with shear failure. Bearing capacity and ductility of new-type joints are superior when the diagonal cross-shaped steel is contained and beams are orthogonal to columns, and the two construction measures proposed have little effect on the seismic behavior of joints.

  • 횡방향철근은 기둥의 소성힌지구간에 충분한 구속효과, 축방향철근의 좌굴방지와 연성거동을 확보하기 위해 적용된다. 기둥에서 사각형 후프 띠철근과 보강 띠철근의 조립 및 배근방법은 시공이 까다롭고 많은 횡방향철근량이 요구된다. 본 논문에서, 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 장방형 단면과 플레어 기둥의 횡구속을 위한 장방형 후프 띠철근을 사용한 새로운 횡구속 방법이 제안되었다. 개발된 장방형 후프 띠철근 상세는 장방형 단면과 플레어 기둥의 시공성과 경제성을 향상시켜줄 수 있는 하나의 대안으로서 적용 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 최종목적은 철근콘크리트 교각의 시공성 향상을 위한 장방형 후프 띠철근 상세의 제시와 실험적 기초자료의 제공과 함께 하중단계별 성능 및 손상평가를 위한 정량적 수치와 경향을 제공하기 위한 것이며, 극한변위, 극한드리프트비율, 변위연성도, 응답수정계수, 등가점성감쇠비, 잔류변형지수, 유효강성 등의 주요 내진성능평가 변수들에 대한 분석결과를 나타내었다.

  • 내력벽시스템에 사용되는 연결보는 횡변위 조절을 위하여 효과적으로 사용되는 요소이나, 단면의 폭과 춤이 시스템에 의하여 제한되므로 연성능력을 향상시키기 위한 철근의 상세처리가 어럽다. 이러한 이유로 지진에 의하여 횡력이 발생할 경우 가장 먼저 연결보에 손상이 발생하게 될 것이므로, 본 연구에서는 연결보가 있는 내력벽 시스템의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 이러한 성능평가는 FEMA 400의 수정된 등가 선형의 절차에 의하여 수행되었다. 평가를 위한 모델은 15층이고 연결보의 강성은 변동이 없으며 질량을 변화하여 구조물의 주기를 변화하였다. 요구 스펙트럼 산정은 KBC 2005의 계수를 곱하지 않은 스펙트럼을 사용하였다. 성능 평가 결과로서, 토질 SD에 대하여 대부분의 모델에서 인명안전 수준에서 검토된 연결보의 제한 변위가 성능점 보다 작게 나타났다. 전반적으로 시스템의 주기가 짧아질수록 연결보의 손상도에 의하여 성능점이 감소되는 현상을 나타내었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 얕은 연약지반에서 구조물-지반 상호작용의 영향을 받는 구조물의 비탄성거동을 정확히 나타낼 수 있는 유한요소해석 방법을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여, 국내의 지반특성을 반영한 얕은 연약지반과 단자유도 구조물로 2차원 유한요소모델을 구성하고, 다양한 지진파와 지반에 대해 OpenSees 해석프로그램을 이용한 비선형 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 연약지반의 비선형거동을 반영하기 위하여 일반적으로 흔히 사용되는 등가선형 주파수영역 해석 결과와 비선형 시간이력 유한요소해석 결과의 차이를 검토하였다. 그 비교결과는 등가선형강성을 사용하고 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하지 않는 주파수영역해석은 단주기영역의 구조물의 응답스펙트럼을 과대평가할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 응답스펙트럼에 대한 지반-구조물 상호작용의 영향은 기초크기와 구조물의 질량의 변화와 큰 관계 없이 일정하게 나타났다.

  • A close form solution of the maximum deflection for cracked columns with rectangular cross-sections was developed and thus the elastic buckling behavior and ultimate bearing capacity were studied analytically. First, taking into account the effect of the crack in the potential energy of elastic systems, a trigonometric series solution for the elastic deflection equation of an arbitrary crack position was derived by use of the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method and an analytical expression of the maximum deflection was obtained. By comparison with the rotational spring model (Okamura et al. 1969) and the equivalent stiffness method (Sinha et al. 2002), the advantages of the present solution are that there are few assumed conditions and the effect of axial compression on crack closure was considered. Second, based on the above solutions, the equilibrium paths of the elastic buckling were analytically described for cracked columns subjected to both axial and eccentric compressive load. Finally, as examples, the influence of crack depth, load eccentricity and column slenderness on the elastic buckling behavior was investigated in the case of a rectangular column with a single-edge crack. The relationship of the load capacity of the column with respect to crack depth and eccentricity or slenderness was also illustrated. The analytical and numerical results from the examples show that there are three kinds of collapse mechanisms for the various states of cracking, eccentricity and slenderness. These are the bifurcation for axial compression, the limit point instability for the condition of the deeper crack and lighter eccentricity and the fracture for higher eccentricity. As a result, the conception of critical transition eccentricity $(e/h)_c$, from limit-point buckling to fracture failure, was proposed and the critical values of $(e/h)_c$ were numerically determined for various eccentricities, crack depths and slenderness.

  • Structural identification or St-Id is 'the parametric correlation of structural response characteristics predicted by a mathematical model with analogous characteristics derived from experimental measurements'. This paper describes a St-Id exercise on Humber Bridge that adopted a novel two-stage approach to first calibrate and then validate a mathematical model. This model was then used to predict effects of wind and temperature loads on global static deformation that would be practically impossible to observe. The first stage of the process was an ambient vibration survey in 2008 that used operational modal analysis to estimate a set of modes classified as vertical, torsional or lateral. In the more recent second stage a finite element model (FEM) was developed with an appropriate level of refinement to provide a corresponding set of modal properties. A series of manual adjustments to modal parameters such as cable tension and bearing stiffness resulted in a FEM that produced excellent correspondence for vertical and torsional modes, along with correspondence for the lower frequency lateral modes. In the third stage traffic, wind and temperature data along with deformation measurements from a sparse structural health monitoring system installed in 2011 were compared with equivalent predictions from the partially validated FEM. The match of static response between FEM and SHM data proved good enough for the FEM to be used to predict the un-measurable global deformed shape of the bridge due to vehicle and temperature effects but the FEM had limited capability to reproduce static effects of wind. In addition the FEM was used to show internal forces due to a heavy vehicle to to estimate the worst-case bearing movements under extreme combinations of wind, traffic and temperature loads. The paper shows that in this case, but with limitations, such a two-stage FEM calibration/validation process can be an effective tool for performance prognosis.

  • In this study, a non-stationary random earthquake Clough-Penzien model is used to describe earthquake ground motion. Using stochastic direct integration in combination with an equivalent linear method, a solution is established to describe the non-stationary response of lead-rubber bearing (LRB) system to a stochastic earthquake. Two parameters are used to develop an optimization method for bearing design: the post-yielding stiffness and the normalized yield strength of the isolation bearing. Using the minimization of the maximum energy response level of the upper structure subjected to an earthquake as an objective function, and with the constraints that the bearing failure probability is no more than 5% and the second shape factor of the bearing is less than 5, a calculation method for the two optimal design parameters is presented. In this optimization process, the radial basis function (RBF) response surface was applied, instead of the implicit objective function and constraints, and a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm was used to solve the optimization problems. By considering the uncertainties of the structural parameters and seismic ground motion input parameters for the optimization of the bearing design, convex set models (such as the interval model and ellipsoidal model) are used to describe the uncertainty parameters. Subsequently, the optimal bearing design parameters were expanded at their median values into first-order Taylor series expansions, and then, the Lagrange multipliers method was used to determine the upper and lower boundaries of the parameters. Moreover, using a calculation example, the impacts of site soil parameters, such as input peak ground acceleration, bearing diameter and rubber shore hardness on the optimization parameters, are investigated.
