The evaluation of torsional effects on multistory buildings remains an open issue, despite considerable research efforts and numerous publications. In this study, a large number of multiple test structures are considered with normally distributed topological attributes, in order to quantify the statistically derived relationships between the torsional criteria and response parameters. The linear regression analysis results, depict that the center of twist and the ratio of torsion (ROT) index proved numerically to be the most reliable criteria for the prediction of the modal rotation and displacements, however the residuals distribution and R-squared derived for the ductility demands prediction, was not constant and low respectively. Thus, the assessment of the torsional parameters' contribution to the nonlinear structural response was investigated using artificial neural networks. Utilizing the connection weights approach, the Center of Strength, Torsional Stiffness and the Base Shear Torque curves were found to exhibit the highest impact numerically, while all the other torsional indices' contribution was investigated and quantified.

본 논문에서는 하부수평브레이싱 설치에 따른 무도상 철도판형교의 횡방향 및 비틀림거동에 관한 영향을 검토하였다. 우선 하부브레이싱의 부재 배치 형태가 다른 해석모델을 대상으로 하여 열차하중에 의한 횡방향변위를 비교 검토하여 가장 효율적인 하부 브레이싱의 배치에 대하여 검토하였다. 다음으로는 하부브레이싱을 설치한 2주형 철도판형교의 비틀림거동에 대해 검토를 수행하였다. 또한, FEM 해석결과로부터 구한 비틀림상수와 상부와 하부수평브레이싱을 등가두께로 치환하여 폐합단면으로 하는 철도판형교의 비틀림상수를 비교하였고, 교량의 지간길이와 하부브레이싱의 단면적의 영향을 검토하였다. 이와같은 해석결과를 기초로 본 연구에서는 횡좌굴모멘트와 비틀림상수비와의 관계곡선을 제시하였고 비틀림보강이 필요한 철도판형교의 범위를 제안하였다.

The bursting properties under various conditions were investigated to ascertain the optimum conditions to yield the best properties. Fiber aspect ratio (AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), interphase condition and fiber content were considered as variables which impact the bursting pressure, bulge constant, torsional rigidity ratio. The bursting pressure of reinforced rubber increases up to 8.73 times compared to the virgin material. The better interphase condition shows the higher bursting pressure at given AR and fiber content. The bulge constant and torsional rigidity highly decrease with increasing AR and better interphase condition at same fiber content. The bulge constant and torsional rigidity reveal the minimum of 11% and 0.6% of the matrix, respectively. The bursted shape after test shows the different patterns between unfilled and reinforced rubbers. The case of virgin rubber shows a radiating shape while that of reinforced rubber shows a fluctuating straight line. Overall, it was found that the fiber AR and interphase condition have an important effect on bursting properties.

Stepped I-beams having increased moment of inertia at one end(singly stepped beam) or both ends(doubly stepped beams) can often be seen in construction of bridges due to material economy and easy fabrication of the section. This paper presents the results of the parametric study of lateral torsional buckling of monosymmetric stepped I-beams with constant depth subjected to equal and opposite end moments applied at the end of the beam. Design recommendations were made based on the finite element results of the models having different combinations of monosymmetric ratio, stepped length ratio, flange thickness ratio and flange width ratio,. The proposed approximation is acceptable based on the parameters given having mostly conservative results. The proposed equation can be further used to extend the study to different loading conditions.

A series of wind tunnel free-decay sectional model dynamic tests were conducted to examine the effects of torsional-to-vertical natural frequency ratio of 2DOF bridge dynamic systems on the aerodynamic and dynamic properties of bridge decks. The natural frequency ratios tested were around 2.2:1 and 1.2:1 respectively, with the fundamental vertical natural frequency of the system held constant for all the tests. Three 2.9 m long twin-deck bridge sectional models, with a zero, 16% (intermediate gap) and 35% (large gap) gap-to-width ratio, respectively, were tested to determine whether the effects of frequency ratio are dependent on bridge deck cross-section shapes. The results of wind tunnel tests suggest that for the model with a zero gap-width, a model to approximate a thin flat plate, the flutter derivatives, and consequently the aerodynamic forces, are relatively independent of the torsional-to-vertical frequency ratio for a relatively large range of reduced wind velocities, while for the models with an intermediate gap-width (around 16%) and a large gap-width (around 35%), some of the flutter derivatives, and therefore the aerodynamic forces, are evidently dependent on the frequency ratio for most of the tested reduced velocities. A comparison of the modal damping ratios also suggests that the torsional damping ratio is much more sensitive to the frequency ratio, especially for the two models with nonzero gap (16% and 35% gap-width). The test results clearly show that the effects of the frequency ratio on the flutter derivatives and the aerodynamic forces were dependent on the aerodynamic cross-section shape of the bridge deck.

As for the added mass moment of inertia of ships in torsional vibration, it seems that the works by T. Kumai[1,2] are the only systematic one available currently. The work[1] is for the calculation of the two dimensional correction factors with finitely-long elliptic cylinders as the mathematic model. In this work the authors recalculated the above factors, $J_{\tau}$, with the same mathematic model and the same problem formulation, and presented the numerical results in Fig. 1. The reason why the reinvestigation was done was that in Kumai's work he obtained the solutions of the Mathieu equations, which was derived from the problem formulation for the velocity potential, under the assumption that the dummy constant q involved in the equations was always far less than unity, whereas in fact it takes values within the region of $0<q{\leq}{\infty}$ in sequence. As a result the authors found two remarkable differences in general features of $J_{\tau}$(refer to Fg.3); one that the authors' numerical results are considerably higher than the results given in [2], and the other that for a given number of node those have properties of decreasing monotonically with increase of the beam-draft ratio while these rapidly decrease from a maximum value of near at B/T=2.00 with B/T becoming greater or less than ratio. It seems that the latter trend was resulted from the fact that the assumption of $q{\ll}1$ employed in [2] was more closely satisfied in the vicinity of B/T=2.00.

Torsion is one of the most important causes of building collapse during earthquakes. Sometimes, despite the symmetric form of the building, infill walls disturb the symmetry of the lateral resisting system. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of urban layout on developing torsion caused by infill walls. For this purpose, a typological study was conducted based on the conditions of perimeter walls on 364 buildings and then 9 cases were selected. The dimensions of the selected buildings are constant and the conditions of the perimeter walls including facades with openings and cantilevered facades are variable. The selected buildings with 60 different layouts of infill walls were analyzed and the behavior of each one was evaluated based on the torsional irregularity criteria of seismic codes. The results of the analyses showed that if the perimeter walls of a building are symmetric, asymmetric interior walls will not be important in developing torsion and effective parameters in symmetry of the perimeter infill walls are the number of walls, area of openings, aspect ratio, and construction details. Finally, architectural solutions to mitigate the torsional effects of infill walls were proposed for buildings with solid infill walls on some sides, for buildings where the perimeter walls of one side are on the cantilevered part, and for buildings where the perimeter walls of two adjacent sides are on the cantilevered part. In three-sided buildings, where two adjacent façades are cantilevered, it is often impossible to use the potential of the infill walls.

본 연구에서는 KBC2022의 풍직각방향 변동풍하중 스펙트럼을 이용하여 풍직각방향 풍하중을 생성하고 생성된 풍직각방향 풍하중이 작용하는 구조물의 비탄성 동적거동을 해석하는 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. 풍응답은 일차 모드가 탁월하고 소성화에 의한 진동의 변화는 작고, 풍방향 진동과 풍직각방향 진동은 독립적이며, 비틀림 진동의 영향은 작다고 가정한다. 적용 구조물을 수평방향의 단자유도 모델로 가정하고, 구조물의 질량을 집중질량으로 치환하여 상부에 작용시킨다. 비탄성 해석을 위한 이력모델은 이선형 모델을 적용한다. 강성비(𝛼)와 항복점비(𝛽)를 변수로 비탄성 동적응답을 분석한 결과 강성비가 일정한 경우에 항복점비가 증가할수록 최대변위비는 감소하다가 최소값을 나타내고 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 강성비가 0.5이상인 경우 최대변위비가 1이하가 되는 항복점비가 존재하며, 이는 비탄성 내풍설계시 비탄성 거동을 허용하더라도 탄성설계된 건물보다 최대 변형이 감소함을 나타낸다.
