본 논문에서는 현행 내진설계방법에 따라 설계된 역V형 보통 가새골조 (OCBF)의 비선형 정적 해석을 수행하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 초과강도계수, 연성계수, 반응수정계수 및 변위 증폭계수 등을 산정하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 대부분의 해석모델에서 현행 내진설계 기준에서 제시한 값보다 작은 초과강도계수 및 반응수정계수 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 수직 보강 기둥 (zipper column)으로 가새를 보강한 경우 초과강도계수 및 반등수정계수는 보통 가새 구조물에 비하여 상당히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, overstrength, ductility and response modification factors are calculated for frames braced with a different type of buckling restrained braces, called reduced yielding segment BRB (Buckling Restrained Brace) in which the length of its yielding part is reduced and placed in one end of the brace element in comparison with conventional BRBs. Forthermore, these factors are calculated for ordinary BRBF and the results are compared. In this regard incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method is used for studying 17 records of the most known earthquakes happened in the world. To do that, the considered buildings have different stories and two bracing configurations: diagonal and inverted V chevron, the most ordinary configurations of BRBFs. Static pushover analysis, nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis and linear dynamic analysis have been performed using OpenSees software. Considering the results, it can be seen that, overstrength, ductility and response modification factors of this type of BRBF(Buckling Restrained Braced Frame) is greater than those of conventional types and it shows better seismic performance and also eliminates some of conventional BRBF's disadvantages such as low post-yield stiffness.

본 연구는 지진하중을 고려한 브레이스된 강골조 구조물의 연속 및 이산화 최적설계에 관한 내용이다. 구조해석과 연속 및 이산화 최적설계를 동시에 수행할 수 있는 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하여 이를 브레이스가 없는 경우, Z-형(V), Z-형(역V), X-형(A), X-형(B), X-형(C), K-형 등의 다양한 브레이스 배치형태를 사용한 강골조 구조물에 적용하였고, 정하중, 지진하중을 고려하여 해석하였다. AISC-ASD 시방규정과 ATC-3-06에 규정한 사용성, 허용층간변위 및 다양한 제약조건을 모두 만족하는 최소중량, 설계변수 등을 도출하고, 다양한 예들의 해석결과를 비교 분석하여 내진에 적합한 브레이스 배치 형태를 제시하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.

In traditional eccentrically braced steel frames, damages and plastic deformations are limited to the links and the main structure members are required tremendous sizes to ensure elasticity with no damage based on the force-based seismic design method, this limits the practical application of the structure. The high strength steel frames with eccentric braces refer to Q345 (the nominal yield strength is 345 MPa) steel used for links, and Q460 steel utilized for columns and beams in the eccentrically brace steel frames, the application of high strength steels not only brings out better economy and higher strength, but also wider application prospects in seismic fortification zone. Here, the structures with four type eccentric braces are chosen, including K-type, Y-type, D-type and V-type. These four types EBFs have various performances, such as stiffness, bearing capacity, ductility and failure mode. To evaluate the seismic behavior of the high strength steel frames with variable eccentric braces within the similar performance objectives, four types EBFs with 4-storey, 8-storey, 12-storey and 16-storey were designed by performance-based seismic design method. The nonlinear static behavior by pushover analysis and dynamic performance by time history analysis in the SAP2000 software was applied. A total of 11 ground motion records are adopted in the time history analysis. Ground motions representing three seismic hazards: first, elastic behavior in low earthquake hazard level for immediate occupancy, second, inelastic behavior of links in moderate earthquake hazard level for rapid repair, and third, inelastic behavior of the whole structure in very high earthquake hazard level for collapse prevention. The analyses results indicated that all structures have similar failure mode and seismic performance.

The Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control (TPMC) has been recently extended to the case of Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) with inverted Y-scheme, i.e., EBFs with vertical links. In this paper a further validation of the design procedure, based on TPMC, is provided by means of Incremental Dynamic Analyses (IDA) pointing out the fulfilment of the design goal, i.e., the development of a pattern of yielding consistent with the collapse mechanism of global type where all the links are yielded and all the beams are yielded at their ends while all the columns and the diagonal braces remain in elastic range with the only exception of the base sections of first storey columns. In particular, a study case is designed according to both TPMC and Eurocode 8 provisions and the corresponding seismic performances are investigated by both push-over and IDA analyses. The results show the different performances obtained in terms of pattern of yielding, maximum interstorey drift, link plastic rotation demand and sharing of the seismic base shear between the moment-resisting part and the bracing part of the structural system. The seismic performance improvement obtained by means of TPMC, compared to Eurocode 8 provisions, is pointed out.
