본 연구는 횡력저항시스템별로 프로토타입 모델을 선정하고 지진지역과 비정형성에 따른 내진성능 영향력을 검토하였다. 프로토타입 모델은 다이아그리드 시스템과 브레이스튜브 시스템 그리고 아웃리거 시스템을 선정하였다. 또한 각 횡력저항시스템별 평면 비틀림 각도를 $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$($1.5^{\circ}$), $2^{\circ}$($3^{\circ}$) 씩 변화하여 내진성능을 검토하였다. 지진지역은 강진지역(LA), 약진지역(Boston)을 선정하였다. 선형응답해석은 프로토타입 모델의 풍변위, 고유주기를 검토하였다. Non-Linear Response History(NLRH) 해석에서는 밑면전단력, 층간변위비를 검토하였다. 검토결과 다이아그리드 시스템과 브레이스튜브 시스템 그리고 아웃리거 시스템 모두 평면 비틀림 각도가 증가할수록 건물 전체의 강성이 줄어들었다. 또한 평면 비틀림 각도가 증가할수록 풍변위와 고유주기 결과가 증가하고 건물 전체의 강성이 줄어들어 밑면전단력이 감소하였다. 끝으로, NLRH 해석 결과 강진과 약진지역 모두 Tall Building Initiative(TBI)의 Maximum Considered Earthquake(MCE)수준의 층간변위비 제한값 0.045를 만족하여 허용범위내의 내진성능을 만족하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

비정형 초고층 건물의 계획 및 시공이 늘어남에 따라 이 연구에서는 프로토타입 모델에 대한 시공단계해석의 적용을 통하여 비정형 초고층 건물의 시공 중 구조적 거동을 분석하고자 하였다. 비틀림 초고층 건물을 대상으로 횡력저항시스템, 비틀림각도, 공법 조건에 따른 총 18개의 모델을 선정하였다. 횡력저항시스템으로는 다이아그리드 시스템과 가새튜브 시스템을 적용하였으며, 각 횡력저항시스템별로 $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$ 비틀림각도를 갖는 세 가지 평면 형태와 외곽 튜브와 내부 골조의 시공순서에 따른 세 가지 공법을 가정하였다. 시공 중인 초고층 건물의 구조적 성능은 시공단계해석의 횡변위 결과를 통하여 분석되었으며, 골조 공기와 최대 양중량과 같은 시공성능이 함께 비교되었다.

In a recent tragic fire incident, the Plasco Tower collapsed after an intense outburst of fire lasting for three and a half hours and claiming the lives of 16 firefighters and 6 civilians. This paper will present continuing collaborative work between Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Queen's University in Canada to model the progressive collapse of the tower. The fire started at the 10th floor and was observed to have travelled along the floor horizontally and through the staircase and windows vertically. Plasco Tower was steel structure and all the steel sections were fabricated by welding standard European channel or angle profiles and no fire protection was applied. Four internal columns carried the loads transferred by the primary beams, and box columns were constructed along the perimeter of the building as a braced tube for resisting seismic loading. OpenSees fibre-based sections and displacement-based beam-column elements are used to model the frames, while shell elements are used for the reinforced concrete floor slabs. The thermal properties and elevated temperature mechanical properties are as recommended in the Eurocodes. The results in this preliminarily analysis are based on rough estimations of the structure's configuration. The ongoing work looks at modeling the Plasco Tower based on the most accurate findings from reviewing many photographs and collected data.

Spacious experimental and numerical investigation has been conducted by researchers to increase the ductility and energy dissipation of concentrically braced frames. One of the most widely used strategies for increasing ductility and energy dissiption, is the use of energy-absorbing systems. In this regard, the cyclic behavior of a chevron bracing frame system equipped with multi-pipe dampers (CBF-MPD) was investigated through finite element method. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and improve the behavior of the CBF using MPDs. Three-dimensional models of the chevron brace frame were developed via nonlinear finite element method using ABAQUS software. Finite element models included the chevron brace frame and the chevron brace frame equipped with multi-pipe dampers. The chevron brace frame model was selected as the base model for comparing and evaluating the effects of multi-tube dampers. Finite element models were then analyzed under cyclic loading and nonlinear static methods. Validation of the results of the finite element method was performed against the test results. In parametric studies, the influence of the diameter parameter to the thickness (D/t) ratio of the pipe dampers was investigated. The results indicated that the shear capacity of the pipe damper has a significant influence on determining the bracing behavior. Also, the results show that the corresponding displacement with the maximum force in the CBF-MPD compared to the CBF, increased by an average of 2.72 equal. Also, the proper choice for the dimensions of the pipe dampers increased the ductility and energy absorption of the chevron brace frame.

This paper presents the determination of the structural system of the Changsha IFC T1 tower with 452 m in architectural height and 440.45 m in structural height. Sensitivity analyses are carried out by varying the location of belt trusses and outriggers. The enhancement of seismic capacity of the outer frame by reasonably adjusting the column size is confirmed based on parametric studies. The results from construction simulation including the non-load effect of structures demonstrate that the deformation of vertical members has little effect on the load-bearing capacity of belt trusses and outriggers. The elastoplastic time-history analysis shows that the overall structure under rare earthquake load remains in an elastic state. The influence of the frame shear ratio and frame overturning moment ratio on the proposed model and equivalent mega column model is investigated. It is found that the frame overturning moment ratio is more applicable for judging the resistance of the outer frame against lateral loads. Comparison is made on the variation of these two effects between a classical frame-core tube-outrigger structure and a structure with diagonal braces between super columns under rare earthquakes. The results indicate that plasticity development of the top core cube of the braced structure may be significantly improved.
