In the case of seismic-resistant composite dual moment resisting and eccentrically braced frames, the current design practice is to avoid the disposition of shear connectors in the expected plastic zones, and consequently to consider a symmetric moment or shear plastic hinges, which occur only in the steel beam or link. Even without connectors, the real behavior of the hinge may be different from the symmetric assumption since the reinforced concrete slab is connected to the steel element close to the hinge locations, and also due to contact friction between the concrete slab and the steel element. At a larger level, the structural response in the case of important seismic motions depends directly on the elasto-plastic behavior of elements and hinges. The numerical investigation presented in this study summarizes the results of elasto-plastic analyses of several steel frames, considering the interaction of the steel beam with the concrete slab. Several parameters, such as the inter-story drift, plastic rotation requirements and behavior factors q were monitored. In order to obtain accurate results, adequate models of plastic hinges are proposed for both the composite short link and composite reduced beam sections.

본 연구에서는 중/저층의 철골모멘트골조를 대상으로 합리적이고 실용적인 변위기반 내진설계절차를 제시하였다. 현행의 내진설계에서는 구조시스템 종별에 따라 경험적이고 획일적으로 규정된 반응수정계수를 토대로 설계가 수행되므로, 접합부가 보유한 회전능력의 적정성 여부를 검증하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 실험적으로 입증된 철골모멘트골조 접합부의 가용 소성회전능력을 주요설계변수로 직접 사용하는 새로운 설계법을 제시하였다. 이 설계방안의 정립을 위해, 우선 지금까지 불분명한 관계로 남아있던 접합부의 가용 소성회전능력과 반응수정계수 사이의 관계를 합리적이고 정량적으로 정의하는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 토대로 변위에 기반한 단계별 내진설계절차를 제시하고 비선형동적해석에 의해 방안의 타당성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 프레임 제거시에 화질 개선을 위한 새로운 트랜스코딩 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식은 연속된 프레임들간의 움직임 벡터들의 상관 관계를 활용하고 있으며, 트랜스코딩시 한 매크로블록당 네 개의 움직임 벡터를 고려한다. 제안 방법은 트랜스코딩시 부호화된 비트스트림으로부터 영상을 복호화할 필요가 없으므로, 움직임 벡터를 산출하는 복잡한 연산이 요구되지 않는다. 실험 결과는 트랜스코딩된 프레임이 I - 픽쳐에서 멀리 떨어질수록, 움직임이 큰 영상일수록 기존 방식에 비하여 더 나은 화질 개선 효과를 나타냄을 보여준다.

Open ground storey (OGS) buildings are characterized by the sudden reduction of stiffness in the ground storey with respect to the upper infilled storeys. During earthquakes, this vertical irregularity may result in accumulated damage in the ground storey members of OGS buildings without much damage in the upper storeys. Hence, the structural design of OGS buildings needs special attention. The present study suggests a modification of existing displacement-based design (DBD) procedure by proposing a new lateral load distribution. The increased demands of ground storey members of OGS buildings are estimated based on non-linear time history analysis results of four sets of bare and OGS frames having four to ten storey heights. The relationship between the increased demand and the relative stiffness of ground storey (with respect to upper storeys) is taken as the criterion for developing the expression for the design lateral load. It is also observed that under far-field earthquakes, there is a decrease in the ground storey drift of OGS frames as the height of the frame increases, whereas there is no such reduction when these frames are subjected to near-field earthquakes.

As an alternative for conventional structures for tall buildings, a hybrid lateral load resisting structure has been designed, enabling the assembly of tall buildings directly from a truck. It consists of steel frames with discretely connected precast concrete infill panels provided with window openings. Besides the stiffening and strengthening effect of the infill panels on the frame structure, economical benefits may be derived from saving costs on materials and labour, and from reducing construction time. In order to develop design rules for this type of structure, the hybrid infilled frame has recently been subjected to experimental and numerical analyses. Ten full-scale tests were performed on one-storey, one-bay, 3 by 3 m infilled frame structures, having different window opening geometries. Subsequently, the response of the full-scale experiments was simulated with the finite element program DIANA. The finite element simulations were performed taking into account non-linear material characteristics and geometrical non-linearity. The experiments show that discretely connected precast concrete panels provided with a window opening, can significantly improve the performance of steel frames. A comparison between the full-scale experiments and simulations shows that the finite element models enable simulating the elastic and plastic behaviour of the hybrid infilled frame.

Significant research efforts were undertaken to evaluate seismic performance of vertically irregular buildings on flat ground. However, there is scarcity of study on seismic performance of buildings on hill slopes. The present study attempts to investigate seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete irregular stepback building frames with different configurations on sloping ground. Based on extensive regression study of free vibration results of four hundred seventeen frames with varying ground slope, number of story and span number, a modification is proposed to the code based empirical fundamental time period estimation formula. The modification to the fundamental time period estimation formula is a simplified function of ground slope and a newly introduced equivalent height parameter to reflect the effect of stiffness and mass irregularity. The derived empirical formula is successfully validated with various combinations of slope and framing configurations of buildings. The correlation between the predicted and the actual time period obtained from the free vibration analysis results are in good agreement. The various statistical parameters e.g., the root mean square error, coefficient of determination, standard average error generally used for validation of such regression equations also ensure the prediction capability of the proposed empirical relation with reasonable accuracy.

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.

Using of masonry infill as partitions, in flat slab frame buildings is a common practice in many parts of the world. The infill is, generally, not considered in the design and the buildings are designed as bare frames. More of fundamental information in the effect of masomary infill on the seismic performance of RC building frames is in great demand for structural engineers. Therefore the main aim of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of such buildings without (bare frame) and with various systems of the masonary infill. For this purpose, thirteen three dimensional models are chosen and analyzed by SAP2000 program. In this study the stress strain relation model proposed by Crisafulli for the hysteric behaviour of masonary subjected to cyclic loading is used. The results show that the nonstructural masonary infill can impart significant increase global strength and stiffness of such building frames and can enhance the seismic behaviour of flat slab frame building to large extent depending on infill wall system. As a result great deal of insight has been obtained on seismic response of such flat slab buildings which enable the structural engineer to determine the optimum position of infill wall between the columns.

최근 다시점 비디오를 효율적으로 부호화하기 위해 다양한 시공간 예측 구조들이 제안되었다. 이 논문에서는 다시점 비디오 부호화 예측 구조에서 각 GOP의 첫 화면들에 삽입되는 B$_{ANC}$ 화면을 위해 양자화 계수를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 각 시점의 영상 화질을 균일하게 유지하고 전체적인 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 B$_{ANC}$ 화면의 양자화 계수를 적응적으로 조절하며, 인접한 두 참조화면의 비트-왜곡 비용값을 사용하여 상관도를 추정하고 이를 이용하여 B$_{ANC}$ 화면의 양자화 계수를 결정한다. 이 논문에서 제안한 방법을 다시점 비디오 참조 예측 구조에 적용하여 부호화한 결과, 0.09$\sim$0.16 dB 정도의 PSNR 개선을 얻었다.
