The purpose of this study is to develop new seismic design concept based on ductility demand for reinforced concrete bridge columns in areas of low to moderate seismicity. In developing the ductility based design approach, relationship between ductility demand and transverse reinforcement demand should be quantitatively developed. To evaluate ductility capacity of reinforced concrete columns, analytical models and a non-linear analysis program, NARCC have been developed. Based on analytical and experimental results, an equation for relationship between curvature ductility and displacement ductility, an equation for designing the transverse confinement reinforcement for ductility demand, and a new seismic design concept of RC bridge columns are presented.

The purpose of this study is to assess the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete pier using ductility demand-based seismic design method and nonlinear earthquake analysis. A computer program named MIDAS/Civil(MIDAS IT,2009) for the analysis of the reinforced concrete pier was used. The bridge pier was designed by the ductility demand-based seismic design. In addition, a seismic performance was evaluated through both capacity spectrum method and nonlinear time history method. In order to determine the seismic performance of the bridge pier, the maximum response values from the capacity spectrum method and nonlinear time history analysis were compared each other.

The current seismic design criteria of the Korea Design Specifications for Highway Bridge (KDSHB 2000) adopted the seismic design concept and requirements of the AASHTO specifications. In order to obtain full ductile behavior under seismic loads, i.e. when applied seismic force is larger than design flexural strength of column section, a response modification factor is used. For the moderate seismicity regions, a design based on required ductility and required transverse reinforcement might be a reasonable approach. Ductility demand design or performance based design might be an appropriate approach especially for regions of moderate seismic risk. The procedure and application of this design approach are presented in this paper.

현행 도로교설계기준의 내진설계기준은 완전연성 설계 개념을 채택함으로써, 과도하게 배근되는 횡구속철근으로 인하여 현장 시공에 어려움을 겪는 사례가 많이 있다. 이것은 한반도와 같은 중 약진직역에서 완전연성이 필요하지 않는 경우가 일반적임에도 불구하고 완전연성을 확보하기 위한 심부 구속철근량이 배근되기 때문이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 한정연성 설계개념을 도입한 연성도 내진설계법이 제안된 바 있다. 연성도 내진설계법에서는 재료강도와 함께 소요연성도와 형상비를 변수로 하여 횡구속철근량을 결정하는 산정식을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문은 횡구속철근 산정식을 중심으로 연성도 내진설계법의 안전성을 검증함을 목적으로 한다. 국내 외에서 수행된 89개의 원형단면 기둥 실험 결과를 대상으로 변위연성도 안전율을 검토한 결과 1.11$\sim$3.98 사이의 값을 보였으며, 평균 변위연성도 안전율은 1.90으로 충분한 안전율을 보였다. 이 논문에서는 또한 연성도 내진설계법의 구체적인 설계절차도 소개하였으며, 횡구속철근의 설계에 고려되는 주요 변수들이 변위연성도 안전율에 주는 영향도 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a reasonable design for transverse confinement reinforcement considering ductility and required transverse confinement reinforcement of RC bridge columns. In order to develop relationships between the curvature ductility and the displacement ductility, the analysis for total 21,600 columns using the computer program NARCC have been carried out for parametric studies. Based on the results from the parametric studies, a correlation equation between the curvature ductility and the displacement ductility was developed. In addition, an equation for calculating the required transverse confinement reinforcement based on ductility demand was developed for seismic design of RC bridge columns. The equations proposed by this study will provide more reasonable and more effective design guidelines for performance-based seismic design of RC bridge columns.

Seismic design codes are developed mainly based on the observation of the behavior of structures in the high seismicity regions where structures may experience significant amount of inelastic deformations and major earthquakes may result in structural damages in a vast area. Therefore, seismic loads are reduced in current design codes for building structures using response modification factors which depend on the ductility capacity and overstrength of a structural system. However, structures in low seismicity regions, subjected to a minor earthquake, will behave almost elastically because of the larger overstrength of structures in low seismicity regions such as Korea. Structures in low seismicity regions may have longer periods since they are designed to smaller seismic loads and main target of design will be minor or moderate earthquakes occurring nearby. Ground accelerations recorded at stations near the epicenter may have somewhat different response spectra from those of distant station records. Therefore, it is necessary to verify if the seismic design methods based on high seismicity would he applicable to low seismicity regions. In this study, the adequacy of design spectra, period estimation and response modification factors are discussed for the seismic design in low seismicity regions. The response modification factors are verified based on the ductility and overstrength of building structures estimated from the farce-displacement relationship. For the same response modification factor, the ductility demand in low seismicity regions may be smaller than that of high seismicity regions because the overstrength of structures may be larger in low seismicity regions. The ductility demands in example structures designed to UBC97 for high, moderate and low seismicity regions were compared. Demands of plastic rotation in connections were much lower in low seismicity regions compared to those of high seismicity regions when the structures are designed with the same response modification factor. Therefore, in low seismicity regions, it would be not required to use connection details with large ductility capacity even for structures designed with a large response modification factor.

This study is to develop detailing guidelines based on ductility demand for reinforced concrete bridge columns in areas of low to moderate seismicity. The current seismic design criteria of the Korea Design Specifications for Highway Bridge (KDSHB 2005) adopted the seismic design concept and requirements of the AASHTO specifications. In order to obtain full ductile behavior under seismic loads, i.e. when applied seismic force is larger than design flexural strength of column section, a response modification factor (R=3 or 5) is used. In moderate seismicity regions, however, adopting the full ductility design concept sometimes results in construction problems due to reinforcement congestion. The objective of this paper is to suggest a new simplified seismic design of reinforced concrete bridge columns for moderate seismicity regions.

Current seismic codes require from the seismically designed structures to be capable to withstand inelastic deformation. Many studies dealt with the development of different inelastic spectra with the aim to simplify the evaluation of inelastic deformation and performance of structures. Recently, the concept of inelastic spectra has been adopted in the global scheme of the performance-based seismic design through capacity-spectrum methods. In this paper, the median of the ductility demand ratio for 80 ground motions are presented for different levels of normalized yield strength, defined as the yield strength coefficient divided by the peak ground acceleration (PGA). The influence of the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio on the ductility demand is investigated. For fixed levels of normalized yield strength, the median ductility versus period plots demonstrated that they are independent of the earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance. Determined by regression analysis of the data, two design equations have been developed; one for the ductility demand as function of period, post-to-preyield stiffness ratio, and normalized yield strength, and the other for the inelastic deformation as function of period and peak ground acceleration valid for periods longer than 0.6 seconds. The equations are useful in estimating the ductility and inelastic deformation demands for structures in the preliminary design. It was found that the post-to-preyield stiffness has a negligible effect on the ductility factor if the yield strength coefficient is greater than the PGA of the design ground motion normalized by gravity.

In this study seismic analyses of steel structures were carried out to examine the effect of ground motion characteristics and structural properties on energy demands using 100 earthquake ground motions recorded in different soil conditions, and the results were compared with those of previous works. Analysis results show that ductility ratios and the site conditions have significant influence on input energy. The ratio of hysteretic to input energy is considerably influenced by the ductility ratio and the strong motion duration. It is also observed that as the predominant periods of the input energy spectra are significantly larger than those of acceleration response spectra used in the strength design, the strength demand on a structure designed based on energy should be checked especially in short period structures. For that reason framed structures with buckling-restrained-braces (BRBs) were designed in such a way that all the input energy was dissipated by the hysteretic energy of the BRBs, and the results were compared with those designed by conventional strength-based design procedure.
