For evaluation of building performance, a nonlinear dynamic capacity of the building is a key parameter. In this study, an reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame building was chosen to study the process of determining the nonlinear dynamic capacity. The building, which was designed by IBC 2003 representing new codes, was composed of special moment resisting frames in the perimeter and internal frames inside the building. The capacity, which is inter-story drift capacity, consists of two categories, local and global collapses. Global collapse capacity was determined by incremental dynamic analysis. Local collapse capacity was determined by the same method except for utilizing damage index. In audition to this, it was also investigated that the effect of including internal frames designed by gravity load in the analysis. Results showed that the damage index is a useful tool for determining local collapse. Furthermore, including the internal frames with special frames in the analysis is very important in determining the capacity of a building so both must be considered at the same time.

Moment-resisting frames (MRFs) are among the most conventional steel structures for mid-rise buildings in many earthquake-prone cities. Here, a simplified performance-based methodology is proposed for the seismic collapse capacity assessment of these buildings. This method employs a novel multi-mode pushover analysis to determine the engineering demand parameters (EDPs) of the regular steel MRFs up to the collapse prevention (CP) performance level. The modal combination coefficients used in the proposed pushover analysis, are obtained from two metaheuristic optimization algorithms and a fitting procedure. The design variables for the optimization process are the inter-story drift ratio profiles resulting from the multi-mode pushover analyses, and the objective values are the outcomes of the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). Here, the collapse capacity of the structures is assessed in three to five steps, using a modified IDA procedure. A series of regular mid-rise steel MRFs are selected and analyzed to calculate the modal combination coefficients and to validate the proposed approach. The new methodology is verified against the current existing approaches. This comparison shows that the suggested method more accurately evaluates the EDPs and the collapse capacity of the regular MRFs in a robust and easy to implement way.

횡저항 시스템의 설계는 구조 엔지니어의 경험과 노하우에 의존하는 경향이 크다. 또한 건물의 보유성능을 평가하여 설계과정에 적절히 반영할 수 있는 방법이 제시되어있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구조물이 실제 보유하고 있는 유효보유성능(available full capacity, $R_{ac}$)과 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 요구보유성능(minimum required capacity, $R_{code}$)에 의해 건물의 횡저항 시스템을 합리적으로 설계하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 제안 방법은 기존 구조 설계과정에 비선형 해석에 의한 횡저항 성능 평가가 추가된 것으로, 우선 기본 설계를 마친 후, 푸쉬오버(pushover)해석을 통해 구조물의 실제 횡저항 성능을 평가한다. 비선형 평가단계에서는 푸쉬오버(pushover) 해석을 수행하고 이선형화를 통해 항복밑면전단력$(V_Y)$을 결정한다. 그리고 설계풍밑면전단력$(V_{wind})$이 설계지진밑면전단력$(V_D)$보다 큰 경우 항복밑면전단력보다 설계풍밑면전단력이 작은 값임을 확인한 후에, 구조물이 보유한 $R_{ac}$를 산정한다. 설계지진밑면전단력이 큰 경우에는 바로 유효보유성능을 산정하고 이 유효 보유성능$(R_{ac})$이 요구보유성능$(R_{code})$에 근접하도록 피드백 과정을 통하여 부재를 재설계한다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 2차원 철골 가새가 설치된 철근콘크리트 구조를 이용하여 두 가지 경우에 대하여 제안한 합리적인 횡저항 시스템의 설계를 적용하였다. 그 결과 기본설계와 비선형 정적해석의 피드백 과정의 반복을 통하여 요구보유 성능에 근접한 유효보유성능을 갖는 횡저항 시스템을 설계하는 것이 가능하였다.

In this study, a simple moment-resisting precast concrete beam-column connection is proposed for highly seismic zone using dywidag ductile rod [DDC]. DDC is superior system for ductility, energy dissipation capacity, connection strength, and drift capacity. A study was carried out to investigate the connection behavior subjected to cyclic inelastic loading. Four Precast beam-column interior connections and one monolithic connection will be tested. The variables will be examined were the strength relationship between joint's ductile rod and beam reinforcement for gain energy dissipation capacity. The specimens will be tested only reverse cyclic loading in accordance with a prescribed displacement history. Connection performance is evaluated on the basis of ductility, energy dissipation capacity, connection strength, and drift capacity. the precast connection using DDC is capable of matching of exceeding the performance of the monolithic connection and thereby provides moment-resisting behavior.

Seismic isolation devices are commonly used to mitigate damages caused by seismic responses of structures. More damages are created due to progressive collapse in structures. Therefore, evaluating the impact of the isolation systems to enhance progressive collapse-resisting capacity is very important. In this study, the effect of lead rubber bearing isolation system to increase the resistance of structures against progressive collapse was evaluated. Concrete moment resisting frames were used in both the fixed and base-isolated model structures. Then, progressive collapse-resisting capacity of frames was investigated using the push down nonlinear static analysis under gravity loads that specified in GSA guideline. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to consider dynamic effects column removal under earthquake. The results of the push down analysis are highly dependent on location of removal column and floor number of buildings. Also, seismic isolation system does not play an effective role in increasing the progressive collapse-resisting capacities of structures under gravity loads. Base isolation helps to localize failures and prevented from spreading it to intact span under seismic loads.

Retrofitting in reinforced concrete structures has been one of the most important research topics in recent years. There are several methods for retrofitting RC moment-resisting frames. the most important of which is the use of steel bracing systems with yielding dampers. With a proper design of yielding dampers, the stiffness of RC frame systems can be increased to the required extent so that the ductility of the structure is not significantly reduced. In the present study, two experimental samples of a one-third scale RC moment-resisting frame were loaded in the laboratory. In these experiments, the retrofitting effect of RC frames was investigated using Non-uniform Slit Dampers (NSDs). Based on the experimental results of the samples, seismic parameters, i.e., stiffness, ductility, ultimate strength, strength reduction coefficient, and energy dissipation capacity, were compared. The results demonstrated that the retrofitted frame had very significant growth in terms of stiffness, ultimate strength, and energy dissipation capacity. Although the strength reduction factor and ductility decreased in the retrofitted sample. In general, the behavior of the frame with NSDs was evaluated better than the bare frame.

Soft-story buildings have bottom stories much less rigid than the top stories and are susceptible to earthquake damage. Therefore, the seismic design specifications need strict design considerations in such cases. In this paper, a four-story building was investigated as a case study and the effects of X-braces elimination in its lower stories studied. In addition, the possibility of replacement of the X-braces in soft-stories with equivalent moment resisting frame inspected in two different phases. In first phase, the stiffness of X-braces and equivalent moment-resisting frames evaluated using classic equations. In final phase, diagonals removed from the lowest story to develop a soft-story and replaced with moment resisting frames. Then, the seismic stiffness variation of moment-resisting frame evaluated using nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. The results show that substitution of braced frames with an equivalent moment-resisting frame of the same stiffness increases story drift and reduces energy absorption capacity. However, it is enough to consider the needs of building codes, even using equivalent moment resisting frame instead of X-Braces, to avoid soft-story stiffness irregularity in seismic design of buildings. Besides, soft-story development in the second story may be more critical under strong ground excitations, because of interaction of adjacent stories.

본 논문에서는 현존하는 노후된 콘크리트 전신주를 위한 경제적인 보강기법으로서 화학적 프리스트레싱을 적용하기 위해 팽창재가 사용되었다. 이 보강기법은 콘크리트 실험체의 내하력과 연성을 증가 시켰을뿐만 아니라 FRP 재료의 제한성 및 활용도가 증대 될 수 있음을 보였다. 보강된 실험체의 화학적 프리스트레싱력과 내력을 실험적으로 수행하여 측정하였다. 이 결과로부터 팽창재의 사용 양을 조절함으로써 화학적 프리스트레싱의 적용 정도를 조절하는 것이 가능하고, 또한 내력은 기준 실험체와 비교하여 3배 이상까지 증가되는 것으로 분석되었다.

An experimental study was conducted to develop a new base plate anchorage system for concrete filled tubular column under an axial load and a moment. The column was connected to a concrete foundation using ordinary deformed reinforcing bars that are installed at the inside and outside of the column. In order to investigate the moment resisting capacity of the system, horizontal cyclic loads are applied until the ultimate condition is reached with the axial load held constant. To derive a design method for moment resisting capacity, the reinforced concrete section approach was investigated with the assumption of strain compatibility. The results by this approach agreeded well with those of experiments when the bearing pressure of confined concrete and tangent modulus of steel bars are assumed appropriately. Also, it was found that the column interaction curve can be used to predict the yield strength of the base plate system.
