This paper is experimental and numerical research about the sliding behavior of cantilever retaining walls resisting surcharge loads. In experimental research, centrifuge model tests at the lg and 40 g-level were performed by changing the location of model footing and its width. Bearing capacity of model footing and characteristics of load-settlement and load-lateral displacement of retaining wall were investigated. Test results of bearing capacity were compared with modified jarquio method, based on the limit equilibrium method with elasticity theory. For the numerical analysis, the commericially available program of FLAC was used by implementing the hyperbolic constitutive relationships to compare with test result about load-settlement and load-displacement of retaining wall, bearing capacity of strip footing.

초고층 건물에서 아웃리거를 이용한 횡력저항시스템이 자주 사용되고 있다. 아웃리거가 외부 기둥과 내부 코어를 연결함으로써 외부 기둥이 횡력저항시스템에 참여할 수 있어 구조적 저항능력이 향상될 수 있다. 그러나 아웃리거는 횡력 뿐만 아니라 중력하중의 조절에도 기여할 수 있다. 하중을 메가 기둥으로 전이시키거나 기둥, 벽체, 파일 등의 연직 부재들 간에 중력하중을 균등하게 분포시키며, 기초 시스템에서의 부등침하를 최소화하기 위하여 중력하중의 흐름이 아웃리거 부재에 의하여 변경될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 100층 이상의 초고층 사례들에 대한 전산구조해석을 통하여 중력하중 조절에 대한 아웃리거의 효과를 분석한다. 아웃리거 유무에 따른 3차원 모델의 구조해석이 수행되며, 기둥과 파일에서의 중력하중 분포 및 기초 침하가 분석된다. 또한, 완공 단계 뿐만 아니라 시공 단계에서의 중력하중 조절에 대한 아웃리거의 효과도 분석된다.

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.

This study investigates the reliability of the performance levels of moment resisting steel frames subjected to lateral loads such as wind and earthquake. The reliability assessment has been performed with respect to three performance levels: serviceability, damageability, and ultimate limit states. A four-story moment resisting frame is used as a typical example. In the reliability assessment the uncertainties in the loadings and in the capacity of the frame have been considered. The wind and earthquake loads are assumed to have lognormal distribution, and the frame resistance is assumed to have a normal distribution. In order to obtain an appropriate limit state function a linear relation between the loading and the deflection is formed. For the reliability analysis an algorithm has been developed for determination of limit state functions and iterations of the first order reliability method (FORM) procedure. By the method presented herein the multivariable analysis of a complicated reliability problem is reduced to an S-R problem. The procedure for iterations has been tested by a known problem for the purpose of avoiding convergence problems. The reliability indices for many cases have been obtained and also the effects of the coefficient of variation of load and resistance have been investigated.

A large number of structure in the world were build with poor seismic details, with or without any lateral load resisting system like concentrically braced frames and steel plate shear walls. These structures can reveal deteriorating hysteretic behaviors with stiffness and strength degradation. Therefore, seismic retrofitting of such structures for drift control has vital importance. In this study a retrofit methodology has been developed, which involves diagonal bracing of steel frames with different cable arrangements. In the experimental and numerical program 5 different lateral load resisting system were tested and results compared with each other. The results indicated that multi-cable arrangements suggested in this study showed stable ductile behavior without any sudden decrease in strength. Due to the usage of more than one diagonal cable, fracture of any cable did not significantly affect the overall strength and deformation capacity of the system. In cable braced systems damages concentrated in the boundary zones of the cables and beams. That is why boundary zone must have enough stiffness and strength to resist tension field action of cables.

Composite steel plate deep beam (CDB) is proposed as a lateral resisting member, which is constructed by steel plate and reinforced concrete (RC) panel, and it is connected with building frame through high-strength bolts. To investigate the seismic performance of the CDB, tests of two 1/3 scaled specimens with different length-to-height ratio were carried out under cyclic loads. The failure modes, load-carrying capacity, hysteretic behavior, ductility and energy dissipation were obtained and analyzed. In addition, the nonlinear finite element (FE) models of the specimens were established and verified by the test results. Besides, parametric analyses were performed to study the effect of length-to-height ratio, height-to-thickness ratio, material type and arrangement of RC panel. The experimental and numerical results showed that: the CDBs lost their load-carrying capacity because of the large out-of plane deformation and yield of the tension field formed on the steel plate. By increasing the length-to-height ratio of steel plate, the load-carrying capacity, elastic stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens were significantly enhanced. The ultimate loading capacity increased with increasing the length-to-height ratio of steel plate and yield strength of steel plate; and such capacity increased with decreasing of height-to-thickness ratio of steel plate and gap. Finally, a unified formula is proposed to calculate their ultimate loading capacity, and fitting formula on such indexes are provided for designation of the CDB.

The purpose of this study is to improve the seismic performance of RC framed buildings such as piloti buildings and school facilities. For this purpose, a half size RC frame specimen (SFD) was made and the inside of frame was reinforced with steel frame and S type strut steel damper. The experimental results are compared with those of the previous studies under the same conditions. The comparative specimens are non-reinforced specimen (BF) and damper reinforced specimen (AFD) that confined the column with an aramid sheet. As a result of comparing the maximum strength, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity, SFD specimen was evaluated to be better than comparative specimens. According to the experimental results and FE analysis results, it was confirmed that the shear deformation was concentrated in the steel damper. And it was showed that cracks were concentrated at the upper and lower ends of the strut of the S type damper, and the final failure was observed at struts. From this, it was verified that the steel damper appropriately dissipates energy due to the lateral load.

This study presents an experimental investigation on six beam-column joint specimens under the lateral cyclic loading. The aim was to explore the effectiveness of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in reducing the transverse shear stirrups in beam-column joints of the reinforced concrete (RC) frames with strong-columns and weak-beams. Two RC and four SFRC specimens with different types of reinforcement detailing and steel fibers of volume fraction in the range of 0.75-1.5% were tested under gradually increasing cyclic displacements. The main parameters investigated were lateral load-resisting capacity, hysteresis response, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, viscous damping variation, and mode of failure. Test results showed that the diagonally bent configuration of beam longitudinal bars in the beam-column joints resulted in the shear failure at the joint region against the flexural failure of beams having straight bar configurations. However, all SFRC specimens exhibited similar lateral strength, energy dissipation potential and mode of failure even in the absence of transverse steel in the beam-column joints. Finally, a methodology has been proposed to compute the shear strength of SFRC beam-column joints under the lateral loading condition.

Global or partial damage to a structure due to the failure of gravity or lateral load-bearing elements is called progressive collapse. In the present study, the alternate load path (ALP) method introduced by GSA and UFC 4-023-03 guidelines is used to evaluate the progressive collapse in special steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) buildings. It was assumed that the progressive collapse is due to the earthquake force and its effects after the removal of the elements still remain on the structures. Therefore, nonlinear dynamic time history analysis employing 7 earthquake records is used to investigate this phenomenon. Internal and external column removal scenarios are investigated and the stiffness of the connections is changed from semi-rigid to rigid. The results of the analysis performed in the OpenSees program show that the loss of the bearing capacity of an exterior column due to a seismic event and the occurrence of progressive collapse can increase the inter-story drift of the structure with semi-rigid connections by more than 50% and make the structure unable to satisfy the life safety performance level. Furthermore, connection stiffness severely affects the redistribution of forces and moments in the adjacent elements of the removed column.

플랫플레이트 시스템은 주로 전단벽과 가새 골조와 같은 횡력저항 시스템과 함께 중력저항 시스템으로 사용된다. 따라서 지진과 같은 횡하중이 작용할 때, 중력저항 시스템은 중력하중에 대한 전달 능력을 유지하면서 일체로 연결된 횡력저항 시스템의횡변위를 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 또한 플랫플레이트 시스템은 지진에 대한 특별 상세조건에 만족하면 중간 모멘트 골조로써 횡력저항 시스템으로도 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 횡하중이 작용하는 경우 플랫플레이트 시스템은 횡변위와 불균형모멘트로 인한 뚫림 전단의 위험성은 더욱 커지게 된다. 따라서 플랫플레이트 시스템을 중력 저항 또는 횡력 저항 시스템으로 설계하는 모든 경우에 중력하중뿐만 아니라 횡하중하의 설계 내력 (모멘트와 전단력)과 변위 등의 합리적인 예측은 매우 중요하다. ACI 318 (2005)에서는 중력하중에 대한 해석시 직접설계법과 등가골조법을 제시하고 있으며, 횡하중에 대한 해석으로 유한요소법, 유효보폭법, 등가골조법을 허용한다. 이러한 해석법은 각각 장단점을 갖고 있으며, 매우 광범위한 해석 결과를 보인다. 따라서 구조 설계자들은 적절한 해석법의 선택과 해석 결과를 분석하는데 어려움을 갖는다. 본 연구의 목적은 플랫플레이트 해석법에 대한 구조 설계자들이 적절한 해석법을 선택할 수 있도록 하고, 횡하중에 대한 해석 방법으로 수정된 등가골조법의 실용성을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 중력하중과 횡하중을 받는 7층의 플랫플레이트 구조물에 대한 내부력과 횡변위를 대상으로 유한요소해석을 수행하고 각 골조해석법의 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 각 골조해석법의 정확성은 기존 플랫플레이트 슬래브 구조물의 실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.
