Seismic responses of a building are affected due to the site soil conditions. In this study, linear time history seismic analysis and nonlinear pushover static seismic analysis were performed to estimate the base shear forces of the 3, 5 and 7-story steel structure buildings considering the rigid and soft soil conditions. According to the study results, the steel structure buildings designed for the gravity loads and wind load showed the elastic responses with the moderate earthquake of 0.11g, and the soft soil layer increased the displacement and the base shear force of a building. Therefore it is more resonable to perform an elastic seismic analysis of a building structure with the moderate earthquakes considering the characteristics of the soft soil layer.

In this study a analytical model for a structure with buckling-restrained unbonded knee-braces is proposed, and a performance-based seismic design procedure for such a system Is provided. The proposed structure system has advantage of simplifying the structural design procedure in that the hinge-connected main structural members, such as beams and columns, are designed only for gravity loads, and all the lateral seismic load is resisted by the braces. The design procedure is based on the concept of equivalent damping, and is implemented to the capacity spectrum method. Parametric study is performed with design variables such as yield stress and cross-sectional area of knee-braces to find out proper slope of the braces.

A four-story reinforced concrete frame building model is designed for the gravity loads. only Static nonlinear pushover analyses are performed in two orthogonal horizontal directions. The overall capacity curves are converted into ADRS spectra and compared with demand spectra. At several points the deformed shape moment and shear distribution are calculated. It is observed that the seismic capacity may not meet the design requirements in soft soil condition and may collapse in MCE. It is concluded that limited but adequate amount of ductility need be provided in the seismic design in low to moderate seismicity regions.

In many parts of the world, reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, designed and built in accordance with older codes, have suffered severe damage or even collapse as a result of recent near-fault earthquakes. This is particularly due to the deficiencies of most of the older (and even some of the recent) codes in dealing with near fault events. In this study, a tested three-storey frame designed for gravity loads only was selected to represent those deficient buildings. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed, followed by damage assessment procedures. The results were compared with experimental observation of the same frame showing a good match. Damage and fragility analyses of the frame subjected to 204 pulse-type motions were then performed using a selected damage model and inter-storey drifts. The results showed that the frame located in near-fault regions is extremely vulnerable to ground motions. The results also showed that the damage model better captures the damage distribution in the frame than inter-storey drifts. The first storey was identified as the most fragile and the inner columns of the first storey suffered most damage as indicated by the damage index. The findings would be helpful in the decision making process prior to the strengthening of buildings in near-fault regions.

This paper investigates the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete frames with wide beams mainly designed for gravity loads, as typically found in the seismic-prone Mediterranean area before the introduction of modern codes. The seismic capacity is evaluated in terms of the overall amount of input energy that the frame can dissipate/absorb up to collapse. This approach provides a quantitative evaluation that can be useful for selecting and designing an appropriate retrofit strategy. Six prototype frames representative of past construction practices in the southern part of Spain are designed, and the corresponding non-linear numerical models are developed and calibrated with purposely conducted tests on wide beam-column subassemblages. The models are subjected to sixteen earthquake records until collapse by applying the incremental dynamic analysis method. It is found that the ultimate energy dissipation capacity at the story level is markedly low (about 1.36 times the product of the lateral yield strength and yield displacement of the story), giving values for the maximum amount of energy that the frame can dissipate which are from one fourth to half of that required in moderate-seismicity regions.

RC 플랫 플레이트 골조는 중력저항 시스템으로 설계하고, 횡력저항 시스템인 전단벽이나 모멘트 골조를 같이 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 지진하중과 같은 횡하중은 횡력저항 시스템의 변형을 일으키며 일체로 연결된 중력저항 시스템도 예상치 않았던 횡변위가 발생하여, 접합부에서 큰 불균형 모멘트가 발행하게 된다. 따라서 횡하중에 의해 유발된 불균형모멘트의 고려가 필요하며, �躍꼭患� 파괴를 정확하게 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 RC 플랫 플레이트 골조의 내진성능평가를 위하여 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 비선형 거동을 예측하기 위한 해석모델을 개발하였다. 해석모델의 검증을 위하여 중력전단비가 다른 2개의 2경간 플랫 플레이트 구조물의 실험결과와 해석모델의 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 개발된 해석모델은 실험체의 뚤림전단파괴 및 파괴모드를 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

대도시에서 초고층 건물의 필요성은 구조 기술자에게 새로운 문제를 안겨주었다. 기둥축소의 효과는 설계 및 시공에 있어 특별한 주의를 요구한다. 기둥의 축소는 칸막이, 마감, 그리고 설비체계와 같이 수직하중을 지탱하도록 고려되어 있지 않은 비구조적인 요소에 영향을 미친다. 또한 각 기둥의 축소량 차이는 주위의 슬래브 및 보와 같은 부재들을 경사지게 한다. 축소량을 예측하는 목적은 부등 축소량의 차이를 미리 보정하는데 있다. 본 연구는 부동 축소량에 의한 주구조부재의 영향에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 자중으로 인해 초지 수직변위를 갖는 52층 철근콘크리트 구조물에 지진하중을 적용하여 구조물에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 각 수직구조요소에 대한 축소량은 전산화된 기둥축소 해석 프로그램을 이용하여 예측되었으며 지진하중으로 인한 축소량이 보정된 구조물과 보정되지 않은 구조물 사이의 응력을 조사하였다.

경골목조건축에서 못 접합부는 수평하중을 지지하고 전달하도록 설계되지만, 바람으로 인한 상향력처럼 인발하중에 직면하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 경골목조건축에서 일반적으로 사용되는 구조재와 덮개로 구성된 못 접합부에 대하여 인발성능과 2면 전단시험을 통해 인발 및 측방하중에 대한 내력성능을 시험하고 설계기준에 부합되는 가를 평가하였다. 인발하중에 대한 내력성능은 부재의 비중에 의해 크게 좌우되었으며 I형장선의 경우 낮은 밀도에도 불구하고 높은 인발성능을 나타내었다. 최대 인발하중은 기준허용 최대 인발하중보다 매우 높게 나타났다. 전단성능도 비중이 큰 낙엽송과 오에스비로 구성된 접합부가 비중이 작은 SPF와 오에스비로 구성된 접합부보다 높은 성능을 나타내었으며 모두 기준설계치보다 높은 성능을 나타내었다. 접합부의 변형은 주로 못의 휨 변형에 의한 것으로 나타났으며 SPF와 오에스비로 구성된 접합부에서의 못의 휨 변형이 현저하게 나타났다.

Non-moment beam-to-column connections, which are usually referred to as simple or shear connections, are typically designed to carry only gravity loads in the form of vertical shears. Although in the analysis of structures these connections are usually assumed to be pinned, they may provide a small amount of rotational stiffness due to the typical connection details. This paper investigates the effects of this small rotational restraint of simple beam-to-column connections on the behavior and seismic response of steel braced non-moment resisting frames. Two types of commonly used simple connections with bolted angles, i.e., the Double Web angle Connection (DWC) and Unstiffened Seat angle Connection (USC) are considered for this purpose. In addition to the pinned condition - as a simplified representation of these connections - more accurate semi-rigid models are established and then applied to some frame models subjected to nonlinear pushover and nonlinear time history analyses. Although the use of bracing elements generally reduces the sensitivity of the global structural response to the behavior of connections, the obtained results indicate considerable effects on the local responses. Namely, our results show that consideration of the real behavior of connections is essential in designing the column elements where the pin-connection assumption significantly underestimates design of outer columns of upper stories.

Civil structures should be designed with the lowest cost and longest lifetime possible and without service failure. The efficient and sustainable use of materials in building design and construction has always been at the forefront for civil engineers and environmentalists. Timber is one of the best contenders for these purposes particularly in terms of aesthetics; fire protection; strength-to-weight ratio; acoustic properties and seismic resistance. In recent years, timber has been used in commercial and taller buildings due to these significant advantages. It should be noted that, since the launch of the modern building standards and codes, a number of different structural systems have been developed to stabilise steel or concrete multistorey buildings, however, structural analysis of high-rise and multi-storey timber frame buildings subjected to lateral loads has not yet been fully understood. Additionally, timber degradation can occur as a result of biological decay of the elements and overloading that can result in structural damage. In such structures, the deficient members and joints require strengthening in order to satisfy new code requirements; determine acceptable level of safety; and avoid brittle failure following earthquake actions. This paper investigates performance assessment and damage assessment of older multi-storey timber buildings. One approach is to retrofit the beams in order to increase the ductility of the frame. Experimental studies indicate that Sprayed Fibre Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) repairing/retrofitting not only updates the integrity of the joint, but also increases its strength; stiffness; and ductility in such a way that the joint remains elastic. Non-linear finite element analysis ('pushover') is carried out to study the behaviour of the structure subjected to simulated gravity and lateral loads. A new global index is re-assessed for damage assessment of the plain and SFRP-retrofitted frames using capacity curves obtained from pushover analysis. This study shows that the proposed method is suitable for structural damage assessment of aged timber buildings. Also SFRP retrofitting can potentially improve the performance and load carrying capacity of the structure.
