Seismic evaluation of a 32-story reinforced concrete framed tube building is performed by checking damageability, safety, and toughness limit states. The evaluation is based on Standard 2800 (Iranian seismic code) which recommends equivalent lateral static force, modal superposition, or time history dynamic analysis methods to be applied. A three dimensional linearly elastic model checked by ambient vibration test results is used for the evaluation. Accelerograms of three earthquakes as well as linearly elastic design response spectra are used for dynamic analysis. Damageability is checked by considering story drift ratios. Safety is evaluated by comparing demands and capacities at the story and element force levels. Finally, toughness is studied in terms of curvature ductility of members. The paper explains the methodology selected and various aspects in detail.

Involved in a research for the application of seismic isolation to the nuclear industry, this study evaluates firstly the responses of seismic isolation system considering general ranges of structural period and damping ratio by using preliminary design formula. Secondly, coupling effects of input motions were evaluated to find out appropriate conditions of excitations and effect of the iteration for calculating yield displacement of lead core was also assessed in terms of response of a seismically isolated structure. Finally, the results of preliminary design calculation were compared with those of dynamic analysis and the propriety of the formula was evaluated and appropriate ranges of reduction factor were also suggested from the results.

Numerical studies were carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of competent hysteric isolators for seismic design of bridge. For dynamic analysis, bridges with isolator were simplified to a model with single degree of freedom. The initial stiffness and the yielding forces of hysteric isolators were varied. Seismic responses obtained by time history analysis show that about 4% of the weight acting as the inertia force is appropriate for the yielding force of isolator. And also better results could be achieved with the values about two times the weight per unit displacement for the initial stiffness of isolator.

최근 우리나라에서 지진이 발생하여 대도시의 초고층 건물의 내진연구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 초고층 건물의 내진연구 및 해석은 지반을 간접적으로 고려하고 있다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기의 영향이 거의 고려되고 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진파 탁월주기가 초고층 건물 동적거동에 미치는 영향이 지반을 고려하는 연속체 모델을 적용하여 분석되었다. 이를 위해 유한요소기반의 수치해석 프로그램인 MIDAS GTS NX를 사용하여 선형시간이력해석을 적용한 2D 동적해석을 수행하였다. 또한 동적거동 분석을 위해 수평변위, 층간변위비, 휨응력 및 건물 취약부를 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 초고층 건물은 지진파 탁월주기가 길어질수록 더 큰 동적반응이 발생하였다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기가 다른 파라미터인 지반조건, 지진파 크기보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the experimental investigations on the seismic performance of a peculiar steel-concrete vertical hybrid structural system referred to as steel truss-RC tubular column hybrid structure. It is typically applied as the supporting structural system to house air-cooled condensers in thermal power plants (TPPs). Firstly, pseudo-dynamic tests (PDTs) are performed on a scaled substructure to investigate the seismic performance of this hybrid structure under different hazard levels. The deformation performance, deterioration behavior and energy dissipation characteristics are analyzed. Then, a cyclic loading test is conducted after the final loading case of PDTs to verify the ultimate seismic resistant capacity of this hybrid structure. Finally, the failure mechanism is discussed through mechanical analysis based on the test results. The research results indicate that the steel truss-RC tubular column hybrid structure is an anti-seismic structural system with single-fortification line. RC tubular columns are the main energy dissipated components. The truss-to-column connections are the structural weak parts. In general, it has good ductile performance to satisfy the seismic design requirements in high-intensity earthquake regions.

현수교의 지진응답 산정 시 몇 가지 해석법 간에 발생될 수 있는 차이를 파악하고자 하나의 예제 현수교에 대해 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 주된 검토항목은 선형과 비선형 응답응답스펙트럼법과 동적해석법, 그리고 감쇠율과 감쇠고려 방안이다. 검토 결과 대상 물리량이나 가진 방향에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 전체적으로 감쇠율과 감쇠 고려방안 등 감쇠와 관련된 변수가 지진응답에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 반면 응답스펙트럼과 동적해석법, 선형 및 비선형해석법 등 구조해석법에 관련된 변수는 상대적으로 지진응답에 미치는 영향이 적은 것으로 확인되었다. 대상 현수교의 경우에도 응답스펙트럼법이 안전측의 결과를 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대되지만 이 경우 도로교설계기준에 제시된 설계응답스펙트럼을 감쇠율에 따라 적절히 보정하는 사전 작업이 필요랄 것으로 판단되었다.

대부분의 기존 내진해석은 지반과 구조물을 각각 구분하여 수행되었고, 초고층 건물과 저층 건물에 대한 동적거동 비교 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초고층 건물과 저층 건물의 동적거동을 파악하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 선정된 파라미터별로 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 초고층 건물의 수평변위, 층간변위비, 휨응력은 지반조건이 연약할수록, 저층 건물보다 장주기 지진파의 영향을 더 받는것으로 나타났다. 또한 초고층과 저층 건물의 취약부는 지반조건보다는 지진파의 종류의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 지반조건 및 지진파 종류가 건물에 미치는 영향을 참고하면 건물의 내진설계에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Most of the existing seismic codes for RC buildings consider only a scenario earthquake for analysis, often characterized by the response spectrum at the specified location. However, any real earthquake event often involves occurrences of multiple earthquakes within a few hours or days, possessing similar or even higher energy than the first earthquake. This critically impairs the rehabilitation measures thereby resulting in the accumulation of structural damages for subsequent earthquakes after the first earthquake. Also, the existing seismic provisions account for the non-linear response of an RC building frame implicitly by specifying a constant response modification factor (R) in a linear elastic design. However, the 'R' specified does not address the changes in structural configurations of RC moment-resisting frames (RC MRFs) viz., building height, number of bays present, bay width, irregularities arising out of mass and stiffness changes, etc. resulting in changed dynamic characteristics of the structural system. Hence, there is an imperative need to assess the seismic performance under sequential earthquake ground motions, considering the adequacy of code-specified 'R' in the representation of dynamic characteristics of RC buildings. Therefore, the present research is focused on the evaluation of the non-linear response of medium-rise 3D RC MRFs with and without vertical irregularities under bi-directional sequential earthquake ground motions using non-linear dynamic analysis. It is evident from the results that collapse probability increases, and 'R' reduces significantly for various RC MRFs subjected to sequential earthquakes, pronouncing the vulnerability and inadequacy of estimation of design base shear by code-specified 'R' under sequential earthquakes.

Bingöl, a city in eastern Türkiye, is located at a very close distance to the Karlıova Region which is a junction point of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone. By bilateral step over of North Anatolian Fault Zone and Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone each other there occurred NorthWest-SouthEast extended right-lateral and NorthEast-SouthWest extended left-lateral fault zones. In this paper, a typical school building located in Bingöl Çeltiksuyu was selected as the case study. Information on the school building and Bingöl Earthquake (2003) have been given in the paper. This study aimed to determine the fragility curves of the school building according to HAZUS 2022, Turkish Seismic Codes 1998, 2007 and 2018. These codes have been introduced in terms of damage limits. Incremental dynamic analysis is a parametric analysis method that has recently emerged in several different forms to estimate more thoroughly structural performance under seismic loads. Fragility analysis is commonly using to estimate the damage probability of buildings. Incremental Dynamic Analysis have performed, and 1295 Incremental Dynamic Analysis output was evaluated to obtain fragility curves. 20 different ground motion records have been selected with magnitudes between 5.6M and 7.6M. Scaling factors of these ground motions were selected between 0.1g and 2g. Comparison has been made between HAZUS 2022 and Turkish Seismic Codes 1998, 2007 and 2018 in terms of damage states and how they affected fragility curves. TSC 1998 has more conservative strictions along with TSC 2018 than TSC2007 and HAZUS moderate and extensive damage limits.
