The purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) box-type wall structures commonly used for most residential buildings in Korea. For this purpose, an analytical model was calibrated with the results of the earthquake simulation tests on a 1:5 scale 10-story distorted model. This calibrated model was then transformed to a true model. The performance of the true model in terms of the stiffness, strength, and damage distribution through inelastic energy dissipation was observed with reference to the earthquake simulation test results. The model showed high overstrength factors ranging from 3 to 4. The existence of slab in this box-type wall system changed the main resistance mode in the wall from bending moment to tension/compression coupled moment through membrane actions, and increased the overall resistance capacity by about 25~35%, in comparison with the common design practice of neglecting the slab's existence. The flexibility of foundation, which is also commonly neglected in the engineering design, contributes to 30~50% of the roof drift in the stiff direction containing many walls. The possibility of concrete spalling and reinforcement buckling and fracture under the maximum considered earthquake (MCE) in Korea appears to be very low when compared with the case of the 2010 Concepcion, Chile earthquake.

본 연구에서는 중고층 건물과 같이 고차모드의 영향이 커지는 구조물의 지진에 대한 성능점을 간략하고 정확하게 구할 수 있는 개선된 능력스펙트럼법을 제안한다. 능력스펙트럼법은 주어진 지진의 응답스펙트럼과 다자유도 구조물을 변환한 등가 단자유도 시스템을 이용하여 지진으로 인하여 발생하는 지붕층의 최대 비탄성변위를 간략하게 구하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법에서는 구조물의 탄성 및 비탄성 동적해석을 수행하지 않고, 기존의 능력스펙트럼법에서 요구되는 정적푸쉬오버해석과 탄성변위를 이용하여 비탄성변위를 예측하는데, 기존 연구에서 개발한 $C_R$을 이용한다. 본 연구는 제안한 방법의 정확도를 평가하기 위해 LA 지역의 3, 9, 20층 철골모멘트저항골조를 선택한다. 이 건물들의 지진에 대한 각 층별 최대 층간변위비를 개발한 CSM으로 구하고, 이를 비선형 응답이력해석(NL-RHA)으로 구한 결과와 비교하였다. 사용한 지진은 재현주기 475년과 2475년의 위험수준에 대한 각각 20개의 지진집단들이다. 또한 본 연구에서는 ATC-40에 제시된 CSM 방법과 N2 방법으로 구한 각 건물의 최대 층간변위비도 비교한다. 개발된 CSM은 기존에 개발된 방법에 비하여 보다 정확한 최대 층간변위비를 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 기 수행된 1:5축소 10층 RC 공동주택의 지진모의 실험결과에 비추어 근래 개발된 PERFORM-3D를 이용하여 해석적 모사를 시도하였다. 해석과 실험의 상관관계 분석에 의해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 재현주기 50년 지진에 대해 실험과 해석이 매우 유사한 탄성거동을 보였다. 반면 우리나라의 설계지진과 최대지진에 대해서는 비선형 거동을 보이긴 하지만 실험의 최대응답과 강성 및 강도 저하를 제대로 모사하지 못하였다. 이의 주된 이유는 슬라브 거동을 탄성으로 가정하였기 때문이라고 판단된다. (2) 탄성영역 거동에 대해 해석모델이 전체 거동을 비교적 잘 모사하는 반면, 벽체 상호간에 걸친 힘의 분포에 있어서 실험과 상당한 차이를 보여주었다. (3) 최대지진에서 벽체의 전단변형은 비교적 잘 모사한 반면 휨변형의 경우 10배정도 과장되었다. 이는 일부 해석모델에서 인방보를 무시한 결과로 추정된다.

제어효과가 탁월한 능동제어알고리듬의 하나인 슬라이딩 모드제어(SMC)는 지진력을 받는 구조물의 제어를 위해 매우 큰 크기의 제어력을 요구한다. 따라서, SMC의 설계에 있어 제어기의 포화문제는 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문은 설계응답스펙트럼에 따른 구조율의 복원력을 이용하여 제어기의 최대 제어력을 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 한 개 혹은 다수의 제어장치를 설치한 다층건물의 수치해석 결과는 제안된 방법이 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 포화 슬라이딩모드제어에 유효함을 보며준다.

In the present study, the effects of six different ground motion scaling methods on inelastic response of nonlinear steel moment frames (SMFs) are studied. The frames were designed using energy-based PBPD approach with the design concept using pre-selected target drift and yield mechanism as performance limit state. Two target spectrums are considered: maximum credible earthquake spectrum (MCE) and design response spectrum (DRS). In order to investigate the effects of ground motion scaling methods on the response of the structures, totally 3216 nonlinear models including three frames with 4, 8 and 16 stories are designed using PBPD approach and then they are subjected to ensembles of ground motions including 42 far-fault and 90 near-fault pulse-type records which were scaled using the six different scaling methods in accordance to the two aforementioned target spectrums. The distributions of maximum inter-story drift over the height of the structures are computed and compared. Finally, the efficiency and reliability of each ground motion scaling method to estimate the maximum nonlinear inter-story drift of special steel moment frames designed by energy-based PBPD approach are statistically investigated, and the most suitable scaling methods with the lowest dispersion for two groups of earthquake ground motions are introduced.

Seismic responses of RC core wall with two outriggers are investigated in this study. In the models analyzed here, one of the outriggers is fixed at the top of the building and the second is placed at different levels along the height of the system. Each of the systems resulting from the placement of the outrigger at different locations is designed according to the prescriptive codes. The location of the outrigger changes along the height. Linear design of all the structures is accomplished by using prescriptive codes. Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are used in the outriggers and forward directivity near fault and far fault earthquake record sets are used at maximum considered earthquake (MCE) level. Results from nonlinear time history analysis demonstrate that BRB outriggers can change the seismic responses like force distribution and deformation demand of the RC core-walls over the height and lead to the new plastic hinge arrangement over the core-wall height. Plasticity extension in the RC core wall occurs at the base as well as adjacent to the outrigger levels. Considering the maximum inter-story drift ratio (IDR) demand as an engineering parameter, the best location for the second outrigger is at 0.75H, in which the maximum IDR at the region upper the second outrigger level is approximately equal to the corresponding value in the lower region.

This study proposed a simplified finite element analysis procedure for designing the nonstructural masonry wall in the out-of-plane direction. The proposed method is a two-step elastic analysis procedure by bilinearizing the behavior of the masonry wall. The first step analysis was conducted with initial stiffness representing the behavior up to the effective-yield point, and the second step analysis was conducted with post-yield stiffness. In addition, the orthotropic material property of the masonry was considered in the FE analysis. The maximum load was estimated as the sum of the maximum loads in the first and second step analyses. The maximum load was converted into the moment coefficients and compared with those from the yield line method applied in Eurocode 6. The moment coefficients calculated through the proposed procedure showed a good match with those from the yield line method with less than 6% differences.

Estimation of damage probability of buildings under a future earthquake is an essential issue to ensure the seismic reliability. Fragility curves are useful tools for showing the probability of structural damage due to earthquakes as a function of ground motion indices. The purpose of this study is to compare the damage probability of R/C buildings with low and high level of strength and ductility through fragility analysis. Two different types of sample buildings have been considered which represent the building types mentioned above. The first one was designed according to TEC-2007 and the latter was designed according to TEC-1975. The pushover curves of sample buildings were obtained via pushover analyses. Using 60 ground motion records, nonlinear time-history analyses of equivalent single degree of freedom systems were performed using bilinear hysteretic model and peak-oriented hysteretic model with stiffness - strength deterioration for each scaled elastic spectral displacement. The damage measure is maximum inter-story drift ratio and each performance level considered in this study has an assumed limit value of damage measure. Discrete damage probabilities were calculated using statistical methods for each considered performance level and elastic spectral displacement. Consequently, continuous fragility curves have been constructed based on the lognormal distribution assumption. Furthermore, the effect of hysteresis model parameters on the damage probability is investigated.

The performance of pure friction isolation system with respect to the frequency bandwidth of excitation and the predominant frequency is investigated. A set of earthquake ground motions (artificial as well as recorded [with different combinations of magnitude-distance and local site geology]) is considered for investigating effectiveness of pure friction isolators. The results indicate the performance of pure friction base isolated system does not only depend upon coefficient of friction and mass ratio but the stick-slip behaviour depends upon the frequency content of the excitation as well. Slippage prevails if the excitation frequency lies in a suitable frequency range. This range widens with increasing mass ratio. For larger mass ratios, the sliding effect is more pronounced and the maximum acceleration response is further reduced in the neighbourhood of frequency ratio (${\omega}/{\omega}_n$) of unity. The pure friction isolation system is effective in the case of broadband excitations only and that too, in the acceleration sensitive range of periods. The pure friction system is not effective for protection against narrow band motions for which the system response is quasi-periodic.
