Seismic performance of critical facilities has been focused on the structural components over the past decade. However, most earthquake damages were observed to the nonstructural components during and after the earthquakes. The primary objective of this research was to develop the seismic fragility of the piping system incorporating the nonlinear Tee-joint finite element model in the full scale piping configuration installed in critical facilities. The procedure for evaluating fragility curves corresponding to the first damage state was considered the effects of the top floor acceleration sensitivities for 5, 10, 15, and 20 story linear RC and steel building systems subjected to 22 selected ground motions as a function of ground motion uncertainties. The result of this study revealed that the conditional probability of failure of the piping system on the top floor in critical facilities did not increase with increased level of story height and in fact, story level in buildings can tune the fragilities between the building and the piping system.

최근의 근단층지반운동인 Northridge 지진(1994, 미국), Kobe 지진(1995, 일본), Izmit 지진(1990, 터키)은 큰 수직성분의 영향으로 건축물 및 교량에 심각한 손상을 주었다. 일반적인 건축구조물의 내진설계에서 지진하중의 수직성분을 고려하여 설계하는 경우는 드물다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중의 수직성분 영향의 고려 유무에 따른 예제구조물의 기둥부재의 축력의 변화와 부재 단부의 소성힌지회전각을 산정하여 시스템의 손상상태를 평가하여 보았다. 해석결과 축력의 증가는 기둥부재의 손상에 의한 전체 구조시스템의 story collapse mechanism의 가능성을 주게 되므로 근단층지반운동이 예상되는 부분에서는 지진하중의 수직성분에 대한 영향을 고려하여야할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 우리나라는 주거 및 주차 공간의 확보를 위해 다양한 필로티 구조물이 건설되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 필로티 구조물은 1층에 주차 공간을 확보하기 위해 벽체가 없는 돌출된 기둥의 형태로 건설되어 왔다. 이러한 형태는 지진 발생 시 일반적인 구조물에 비해 상대적으로 기둥의 파손이 쉽게 발생하며, 이러한 파손은 구조물의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MPS (Multi Performance System) 면진받침을 활용한 필로티 구조물의 안전성 확보에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존에 건설되어 있는 필로티 구조물에 대해 MPS 면진받침 설치 유무에 따른 비선형 동적 해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 최종적으로 각각의 내진성능 평가를 수행하고 MPS 면진받침의 성능을 검증하였다.

The relative displacement of a piping system installed between isolated and nonisolated structures in a severe earthquake might be larger when without a seismic isolation system. As a result of the relative displacement, the seismic risks of some components in the building could increase. The possibility of an increase in seismic risks is especially high in the crossover piping system in the buildings. Previous studies found that an elbow which could be ruptured by low-cycle ratcheting fatigue is one of the weakest elements. Fatigue curves for elbows were suggested based on component tests. However, it is hard to find a quantitative evaluation of the ultimate state of piping elbows. Generally, the energy dissipation of a solid structure can be calculated from the relation between displacement and force. Therefore, in this study, the ultimate state of the pipe elbow, normally considered as failure of the pipe elbow, is defined as leakage under in-plane cyclic loading tests, and a failure estimation method is proposed using a damage index based on energy dissipation.

The building which are essential for disaster recovery is classified as a special seismic use group. Especially, achievement of seismic performance is very important for the hospital, so the hospital should be able to maintain its function during and right after an earthquake without significant damage on both structural and non-structural elements. Therefore, this study aimed at checking the seismic performance of a hospital building, but which was limited to structural elements. For the goal, a plan with a configuration of general hospitals in Korea was selected and designed by two different seismic-force-resisting systems. In analytical modeling, the shear behavior of the wall was represented by three inelastic properties as well as elastic. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of structural members. The result showed that the performance of shear walls in the hospital buildings was not satisfied regardless of the seismic-force-resisting systems, while the demands on the beams and columns did not exceed the capacities. This is the result of only considering the shear of the wall as the force-controlled action. When the shear of the wall was modeled as inelastic, the walls were yielded in shear, and as the result, the demands for frames were increased. However, the increase did not exceed the capacities of the frames members. Consequently, since the performance of walls is significant to determine the seismic performance of a hospital building, it will be essential to establish a definite method of modeling shear behavior of walls and judging their performance.

Framed masonry wall structures represent a typical high-rise structural system that are also seismically vulnerable. During ground motions, they are excited in both in-plane and out-of-plane terms. The interaction between the frame and the infill during ground motion is a highly investigated phenomenon in the field of seismic engineering. This paper presents a numerical investigation of two distinct static out-of-plane loading methods for framed masonry wall models. The first and most common method is uniformly loaded infill. The load is generally induced by the airbag. The other method is similar to in-plane push-over method, involves loading of the frame directly, not the infill. Consequently, different openings with the same areas and various placements were examined. The numerical model is based on calibrated in-plane bare frame models and on calibrated wall models subjected to OoP bending. Both methods produced widely divergent results in terms of load bearing capabilities, failure modes, damage states etc. Summarily, uniform load on the panel causes more damage to the infill than to the frame; openings do influence structures behavior; three hinged arching action is developed; and greater resistance and deformations are obtained in comparison to the frame loading method. Loading the frame causes the infill to bear significantly greater damage than the infill; infill and openings only influence the behavior after reaching the peak load; infill does not influence initial stiffness; models with opening fail at same inter-storey drift ratio as the bare frame model.

지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 안전성은 확정적 이론에 의한 평가보다 지진하중이 가지는 불확실성과 철근콘크리트의 이력특성을 고려하여 평가하는 것이 합리적이다. 확정적 이론에 의한 내진 구조물의 안전성 평가는 확률변수의 영향 등을 충분히 고려하기가 쉽지 않은데, 이러한 것들을 고려하기 위해서는 신뢰성이론 및 랜덤진동이론을 도입할 필요가 있으며 이에 의해 합리적으로 안전성을 검토하거나 확보할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 뼈대구조물의 이력거동을 고려한 추계적 지진응답을 이용하여 지진손상정도와 위험성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 지진하중을 받는 뼈대구조물의 파괴확률을 계산하는 과정을 제시하였다.

The present work utilizes system identification technique for health monitoring of shear building, wherein Parametric State Space modeling has been adopted. The method requires input excitation to the structure and also output acceleration responses of both undamaged and damaged structure obtained from numerically simulated model. Modal parameters like eigen frequencies and eigen vectors have been extracted from the State Space model after introducing appropriate transformation. Least square technique has been utilized for the evaluation of the stiffness matrix after having obtained the modal matrix for the entire structure. Highly accurate values of stiffness of the structure could be evaluated corresponding to both the undamaged as well as damaged state of a structure, while considering noise in the simulated output response analogous to real time scenario. The damaged floor could also be located very conveniently and accurately by this adopted strategy. This method of damage detection can be applied in case of output acceleration responses recorded by sensors from the actual structure. Further, in case of even limited availability of sensors along the height of a multi-storeyed building, the methodology could yield very accurate information related to structural stiffness.

The researches related to active control systems utilizing superelastic shape memory alloys (SMA) have been recently conducted to reduce critical damage due to lateral deformation after severe earthquakes. Although Superelastic SMAs undergo considerable inelastic deformation, they can return to original conditions without heat treatment only after stress removal. We can expect the mitigation of residual deformation owing to inherent recentering characteristics when these smart materials are installed at the part where large deformation is likely to occur. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to develop concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with superelastic SMA bracing systems and to evaluate the seismic performance of such frame structures. In order to investigate the inter-story drift response of CBF structures, 3- and 6-story buildings were design according to current design specifications, and then nonlinear time-history analyses were performed on numerical 2D frame models. Based on the numerical analysis results, it can be comparatively verified that the CBFs with superelastic SMA bracing systems have more structural advantages in terms of energy dissipation and recentering behavior than those with conventional steel bracing systems.
