성능기반 내진 설계방법의 설계철학을 가지고 있는 비선형 정적 해석법(NSPs)은 최근 구조물의 지진해석방법으로서 그 사용성을 인정받고 있다. 비선형 정적 해석법을 통한 지진해석은 기존의 비선형 시간 이력법에 비해서 방법이 간단하며, 직관적으로 구조물의 지진해석을 수행할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 빌딩구조물의 지진해석법으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 기본 진동모드에 의해서 구조물의 거동이 지배되지 않는 구조물의 경우에는 그 사용성에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이다. 이를 개선하기 위한 고차모드의 기여분을 반영할 수 있는 비선형 정적 해석법으로 모드별 비탄성 정적해석법(Modal Pushover Analysis; MPA)이 제시되었고, 또한 이를 개선한 개선된 모드별 비탄성 정적해석법(Improved Modal Pushover Analysis; IMPA) 역시 소개되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 소개된 네가지 비선형 정적 해석법을 이용하여 국내에 설계/시공된 두 사장교의 지진해석 가능성을 알아보며, 각 방법의 장/단점을 분석 하여 비선형 정적 해석법의 응용가능성에 대해서 알아보았다.

The realistic modeling of the beam-column semi-rigid connection in steel frames attracted the attention of many researchers in the past for the seismic analysis of semi-rigid frames. Comparatively less studies have been made to investigate the behavior of steel frames with semi-rigid connections under different types of earthquake. Herein, the seismic behavior of semi-rigid steel frames is investigated under both far and near-field earthquakes. The semi-rigid connection is modeled by the multilinear plastic link element consisting of rotational springs. The kinematic hysteresis model is used to define the dynamic behavior of the rotational spring, describing the nonlinearity of the semi-rigid connection as defined in SAP2000. The nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA) is performed to obtain response time histories of the frame under scaled earthquakes at three PGA levels denoting the low, medium and high-level earthquakes. The other important parameters varied are the stiffness and strength parameters of the connections, defining the degree of semi-rigidity. For studying the behavior of the semi-rigid frame, a large number of seismic demand parameters are considered. The benchmark for comparison is taken as those of the corresponding rigid frame. Two different frames, namely, a five-story frame and a ten-story frame are considered as the numerical examples. It is shown that semi-rigid frames prove to be effective and beneficial in resisting the seismic forces for near-field earthquakes (PGA ≈ 0.2g), especially in reducing the base shear to a considerable extent for the moderate level of earthquake. Further, the semi-rigid frame with a relatively weaker beam and less connection stiffness may withstand a moderately strong earthquake without having much damage in the beams.

This paper aims to assess the seismic risk of a plane moment-resisting frames (MRFs) consisting of concrete-filled double skin steel tube (CFDST) columns and I-section steel beams. Firstly, three typical limit performance levels of CFDST structures are determined in accordance with the cyclic tests of seven CFDST joint specimens with 1/2-scaled and the limits stipulated in FEMA 356. Then, finite element (FE) models of the test specimens are built by considering with material degradation, nonlinear behavior of beam-column connections and panel zones. The mechanical behavior of the concrete material are modeled in compression stressed condition in trip-direction based on unified strength theory, and such numerical model were verified by tests. Besides, numerical models on 3, 6 and 9-story CFDST frames are established. Furthermore, the seismic responses of these models to earthquake excitations are investigated using nonlinear time-history analyses (NTHA), and the limits capacities are determined from incremental dynamic analyses (IDA). In addition, fragility curves are developed for these models associated with 10%/50yr and 2%/50yr events as defined in SAC project for the region on Los Angeles in the Unite State. Lastly, the annual probabilities of each limits and the collapse probabilities in 50 years for these models are calculated and compared. Such results provide risk information for the CFDST-MRFs based on the probabilistic risk assessment method.

The gap provided between adjacent structures in the metropolitan cities is mostly narrow due to architectural and financial issues. Consequently, structural pounding occurs between adjacent structures during earthquakes. It causes damages, ranging from minor local to more severe ones, especially in the case of seismically isolated buildings, due to their higher displacements. However, due to the increased flexibility of isolated buildings, the problem could become more detrimental to such structures. The effect of the seismic pounding of moat walls on the response of buildings isolated by Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing (TFPB) is investigated in this paper. To this propose, two symmetric three-dimensional models, including single-story and five-story buildings, are modeled in Opensees. Nonlinear Time History Analyses (NTHA) are performed for seismic evaluation. Also, five different sizes with four different sets of friction coefficients are considered for base isolators to cover a whole range of base isolation systems with various geometry configurations and fundamental period. The results are investigated in terms of base shear, buildings' drift, and roof acceleration. Results indicated a profound effect of poundings against moat walls. In situations of potential pounding, in some cases, the influence of impact on seismic responses of multistory buildings was more remarkable.

본 연구는 높은 지진의 위험이 내재된 지역에 위치한 3층, 9층 그리고 20층 철골 모멘트저항골조에 대한 반응수정계수와 주기의 영향을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 각 구조물들은 IBC 2000과 KBC 2005에서 제시하고 있는 8의 반응수정계수로 설계되었고 건물에 기대되는 최소의 성능과 최대의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 상한범위와 하한범위의 설계가 고려되었다. 또한 반응수정계수에 대한 영향을 조사하기 위하여 4개의 다른 반응수정계수들이(9, 10, 11, 12) 각 구조물에 대하여 적용되었고 각 구조물의 고유주기 값 외의 4개의 다른 주기를 추가로 적용하여 구조물의 동적거동시 주기에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 총 150개의 해석모델들은 50년 동안 2%의 초과확률(재현 주기 2500년)을 가진 20개의 지반운동에 대하여 평가되었다. 구조물의 성능평가를 위하여 정적 Pushover와 비선형 시간이력해석이 수행되었으며 구조물의 연성능력을 평가하기 위해서 변위연성요구가 고려되었다. 3층과 9층 구조물은 변위연성요구 값이 비교적 안정적인 거동을 보인 반면 20층 구조물은 동적 불안정성을 야기하는 요소에 의해 민감하게 나타나는 것으로 조사되었다.
