In this study, two geometrically identical multi-storey steel buildings with different lateral load resisting systems are structurally analyzed under same earthquake conditions and they are compared with respect to their construction costs of their structural systems. One of the systems is a steel structure with eccentrically steel braced frames. The other one is a RC wall-steel frame system, that is a steel framed structure in combination with a reinforced concrete core and shear walls of minimum thickness that the national code allows. As earthquake resisting systems, steel braced frames and reinforced concrete shear walls, for both cases are located on identical places in either building. Floors of both buildings will be of reinforced concrete slabs of same thickness resting on composite beams. The façades are assumed to be covered identically with light-weight aluminum cladding with insulation. Purpose of use for both buildings is an office building of eight stories. When two systems are structurally analyzed by FEM (finite element method) and dimensionally compared, the dual one comes up with almost 34% less cost of construction with respect to their structural systems. This in turn means that, by using a dual system in earthquake zones such as Turkey, for multi-storey steel buildings with RC floors, more economical solutions can be achieved. In addition, slender steel columns and beams will add to that and consequently more space in rooms is achieved.

The nonlinear behavior of single- and multi-story steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) strengthened with three different patterns of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates (including single-strip, multi-strip and fully FRP-strengthened models) is studied using the finite element analysis. In the research, the effects of orientation, width, thickness and type (glass or carbon) of FRP sheets as well as the system aspect ratio and height are investigated. Results show that, despite an increase in the system strength using FRP sheets, ductility of reinforced SPSWs is decreased due to the delay in the initiation of yielding in the infill wall, while their initial stiffness does not change significantly. The content/type/reinforcement pattern of FRPs does affect the nonlinear behavior characteristics and also the mode and pattern of failure. In the case of multi-strip and fully FRP-strengthened models, the use of FPR sheets almost along the direction of the infill wall tension fields can maximize the effectiveness of reinforcement. In the case of single-strip pattern, the effectiveness of reinforcement is decreased for larger aspect ratios. Moreover, a relatively simplified and approximate theoretical procedure for estimating the strength of SPSWs reinforced with different patterns of FRP laminates is presented and compared with the analytical results.

격자지보는 NATM에서 터널굴착 후 곧바로 설치되는 강지보재의 한 종류로서 기존의 H형강 지보재를 대체하고자 유럽에서 개발된 새로운 종류의 지보재이다. 격자지보는 강봉을 삼각형태로 엮어 만들었기 때문에 숏크리트 타설이 용이하고 지보재 배면에 생기는 공동을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 격자지보와 숏크리트 복합구조체는 결합력이 우수하여 일체화된 구조체로서 거동하기 때문에 지압을 효과적으로 지지할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 격자지보와 숏크리트 복합구조체의 특성파악을 위해 실시한 모형벽체 시험, 모형벽체에 타설된 숏크리트의 강도특성시험, 격자지보와 숏크리트의 부착강도시험 결과를 제시하였다. 실험결과 숏크리트가 타설된 격자지보는 숏크리트가 타설된 H형강 지보재에 비해 숏크리 트 리바운드, 타설된 숏크리트의 강도, 부착특성 등이 우수한 것으로 판명되었고, 이로써 격자지로는 적절한 터널지보재로서의 역할을 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Nanocomposite films were prepared by casting the solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and single wall nanotube (SWNT) in nitric acid subsequent to sonication. Even though SWNT shows good dispersion visually, the reinforcing effect was not satisfactory. The G-band Raman spectra of the drawn film clearly demonstrated that SWNTs in the film are well-oriented along the drawing axis of the film. The electrical resistivity of the film prepared using nitric acid was lower than that of the film using DMF. Thus, nitric acid is presumably more effective in dispersing nanotubes than DMF.

비내진상세 골조는 낮은 횡저항성을 가지고 있어 큰 변형을 경험하게 되는 반면, 벽체는 높은 강성으로 인해 낮은 변형에서도 전단에 의해 파괴된다. 따라서 이러한 골조와 벽체가 동시에 거동할 경우 발생하는 거동 특성은 개개 부재에서의 거동특성과 매우 다르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 끼움벽에 노치를 둘 경우 내진거동특성을 평가하고자 배근상세를 변수로 하였다. 이 때 노치로 인해 벽체 중앙부에 손상이 집중되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체(SHCC)를 사용하였다. 실험결과, SHCC 끼움벽은 다수의 미세균열을 형성하였으나, 대각보강근을 갖는 PIW-ND 실험체가 PIW-NC 실험체에 비해 낮은 변형능력, 강성 및 에너지소산능력을 보였다.

건축공사에서 지하공사는 주공정으로 전체공기와 공사비에서 큰 부분을 차지하고 있으며, 특히 도심지의 경우 해마다 규모가 증가하고 있다. 현재 현장에서 시공하는 지하옹벽은 많은 기능 인력이 필요하고, 공사기간 측면에서도 불리한 유로폼+솔져시스템에 의하여 공사가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토목공사 현장에서 일부 사용되고 있는 무지주 거푸집을 기초로하여 건축공사에 적용 가능한 무지주 거푸집을 개발하였다. 또한 거푸집의 크기를 가정하여 건축공사 현장에서 가장 많이 사용되는 유로폼+솔져시스템과 경제성 측면에서 비교.분석하였다. 연구 결과, 합성 무지주 거푸집은 유로폼+솔져시스템에 비해 공사비가 약 9%높게 나타났으며, 비합성 무지주 거푸집은 약 9%낮게 나타났다. 하지만 합성 무지주 거푸집의 경우 구조체공사에서 콘크리트와 철근의 물량이 현저히 감소하여, 기존옹벽 시공가격 보다 약 35% 경제적 원가절감 효과를 볼 수 있다.

When coupling beams are proportioned appropriately in coupled core wall (CCW) systems, the input energy from ground motions is dissipated primarily through inelastic deformations in plastic hinge regions at the ends of the coupling beams. It is desirable that the plastic hinges form at the beam ends while the base wall piers remain elastic. The strength and stiffness of the coupling beams are, therefore, crucial if the desired global behavior of the CCW system is to be achieved. This paper presents the results of nonlinear response history analysis of two 20-story CCW buildings. Both buildings have the same geometric dimensions, and the components of the buildings are designed based on the equivalent lateral force procedure. However, one building is fitted with steel coupling beams while the other is fitted with diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams. The force-deflection relationships of both beams are based on experimental data, while the moment-curvature and axial load-moment relationships of the wall piers are analytically generated from cross-sectional fiber analyses. Using the aforementioned beam and wall properties, nonlinear response history analyses are performed. Superiority of the steel coupling beams is demonstrated through detailed evaluations of local and global responses computed for a number of recorded and artificially generated ground motions.

The self-centering capacity and energy dissipation performance have been recognized critically for increasing the seismic performance of structures. This paper presents an innovative steel moment frame with self-centering steel reinforced concrete (SRC) wall panel incorporating replaceable energy dissipation devices (SF-SCWD). The self-centering mechanism and energy dissipation mechanism of the structure were validated by cyclic tests. The earthquake resilience of wall panel has the ability to limit structural damage and residual drift, while the energy dissipation devices located at wall toes are used to dissipate energy and reduce the seismic response. The oriented post-tensioned strands provide additional overturning force resistance and help to reduce residual drift. The main parameters were studied by numerical analysis to understand the complex structural behavior of this new system, such as initial stress of post-tensioning strands, yield strength of damper plates and height-width ratio of the wall panel. The static push-over analysis was conducted to investigate the failure process of the SF-SCWD. Moreover, nonlinear time history analysis of the 6-story frame was carried out, which confirmed the availability of the proposed structures in permanent drift mitigation.

EHA(ethylhexyl acrylate), well known for the prepolymer used for PDLC, was used for the LC/polymer composite system for pixel isolated LC (PILC). In order to improve the polymer wall structures of EHA, various acrylate prepolymers were blended with EHA prepolymer.

The "China Zun" tower in Beijing will rise to 528 meters in height and will be the tallest building in Beijing once built. Inspired by an ancient Chinese vessel, the "Zun", the plan dimensions reduce gradually from the bottom of the tower to the waist and then expand again as it rises to form an aesthetically beautiful and unique geometry. To satisfy the structural requirement for seismic and wind resistance, the structure is a dual system composed of a perimeter mega structure made of composite mega columns, mega braces, and belt trusses, and a reinforced-concrete core with steel plate-embedded walls. Advanced parametric design technology is applied to find the most efficient outer-perimeter structure system. The seismic design basically follows a mixed empirical and performance-based methodology that was verified by a shaking table test and other specimen lab tests. The tower is now half-way through its construction.
