This study focuses on a novel procedure for the robustness assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures under threat-independent damage scenarios. The procedure is derived from coupled dynamic and non-linear static analyses. Two robustness indicators are defined and the method is applied to two RC frame buildings. The first building was designed for gravity load and earthquake resistance in accordance with Eurocode 8. The second was designed according to the tie force (TF) method, one of the design quantitative procedures for enhancing resistance to progressive collapse. In addition, in order to demonstrate the suitability and applicability of the TF method, the structural robustness and resistance to progressive collapse of the two designs is compared.

지중에 매설된 관에는 관위의 흙무게나 지표면상재하중으로 인하여 연직견력이 작용하며, 지진이나 불등침하등으로 인하여 상향하중이 작용하는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 Marston-Spangler이론을 새로운 방법으로 분석하여 관위의 흙무게로 인해 매설권에 작용하는 압력에 관하여 검토하였고, 매설연성관에 대한 재하실험을 실시하여 지표면상재하중으 로 인한 매설관의 거동특성을 연구하였다. 또 매설관의 인발저항(uplifting resistance)이론의 검토와 상향인발실험을 통하여 최대인발저항을 구하는 방법 등을 연구하였다.

초대형 지하구조물인 해저터널은 평상시는 물론 지진 시에도 안정성을 확보하여야 한다. 특히 해저터널의 지진 시 주위 지반과의 상대적인 강성, 변위 차이에 의하여 다양한 지진 응답거동이 유발되므로 그 거동 특성을 예측하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 주위 지반과 물성이 다른 단층대를 통과하는 가상해저터널의 지진 시 동적 거동특성 파악이며, 이를 위하여 3차원 내진해석의 결과를 토대로 실내시험을 통해 단층대를 통과하는 해저터널의 동적 응답거동을 파악하였다. 이 때, 해저터널은 내진성능 향상을 위하여 가동세그먼트(Flexible Segment)가 적용된 형태를 고려하였다. 추후, 다양한 조건에서의 해석 및 시험을 통하여 검증된 결과를 획득하고 이를 바탕으로 다양한 지반의 3차원 내진해석을 통한 D/B 구축이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 내진해석의 결과를 검증하기 위하여 1 g 진동대 시험(1 g Shaking table test)을 수행하였다. 축소 모형시험의 상사율(1:100)을 고려하여 아크릴로 모형을 제작하고 3가지 Case의 시험을 수행하였다. 입력 지진파는 장, 단주기 지진특성을 모두 가진 인공지진파를 터널 진행방향과 직교하는 수평방향으로 가진 하였으며 단층대를 모델링하였다. 수치해석시 단층대를 모사하기 위하여 단층대의 탄성계수는 터널 주위 각 해당지반의 탄성계수의 1/5에 해당하는 값으로 가정하여 적용하였다. 그 결과 단층대의 물성이 증가함에 따라 가속도 감소를 확인할 수 있었으며 진동대 시험결과도 3차원해석결과와 동일한 경향을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the seismic responses of a 1:5-scale five-story reinforced concrete building model, which represents a residential apartment building that has a high irregularity of weak story, soft story, and torsion simultaneously at the ground story. The model was subjected to a series of uni- and bi-directional earthquake simulation tests. Analysis of the test results leads to the following conclusions: (1) The model survived the table excitations simulating the design earthquake with the PGA of 0.187 g without any significant damages, though it was not designed against earthquakes; (2) The fundamental mode was the torsion mode. The second and third orthogonal translational modes acted independently while the torsion mode showed a strong correlation with the predominant translational mode; (3) After a significant excursion into inelastic behavior, this correlation disappeared and the maximum torsion and torsion deformation remained almost constant regardless of the intensity of the two orthogonal excitations; And, (4) the lateral resistance and stiffness of the critical columns and wall increased or decreased significantly with the large variation of acting axial forces caused by the high bi-directional overturning moments and rocking phenomena under the bi-directional excitations.

The infill walls, whose contribution to the earthquake resistance of a structure is generally ignored due to their limited lateral rigidities, constitute a part of the lateral load bearing system of an RC frame structure. A common method for improving the earthquake behavior of RC frame structures is increasing the contribution of the infill walls to the overall lateral rigidity by strengthening them through different techniques. The present study investigates the influence of externally bonded perforated steel plates on the load capacities, rigidities, and ductilities of hollow brick infill walls. For this purpose, a reference (unstrengthened) and twelve strengthened specimens were subjected to monotonic diagonal compression. The experiments indicated that the spacing of the bolts, connecting the plates to the wall, have a more profound effect on the behavior of a brick wall compared to the thickness of the strengthening plates. Furthermore, an increase in the plate thickness was shown to result in a considerable improvement in the behavior of the wall only if the plates are connected to the wall with closely-spaced bolts. This strengthening technique was found to increase the energy absorption capacities of the walls between 4 and 14 times the capacity of the reference wall. The strengthened walls reached ultimate loads 30-160% greater than the reference wall and all strengthened walls remained intact till the end of the test.

In paper after the strong earthquake of recently the Korea neighborhood, the Korean government survey show that the 86% of school buildings in Korea are in potential damage risk and only 14% of them are designed as earthquake-resistance buildings. Reinforcing projects of school have been conducting by the ministry of education, however their reinforcing methods done by not proved a engineering by experiment which results in uneconomical and uneffective rehabilitation for the future earthquake. An experimental and analytical study have been conducted for the shear and flexural reinforcing method of RC beam using composite beam. Based on the previous research, in this study, performance evaluation for the column reinforcing of old school buildings using nonlinear analysis is going to be conducted and strengthening method is going to be on the market after their performance is proved by the test.

Base isolation technology has been accepted as a feasible and attractive way in improving seismic resistance of structures. The seismic design of new seismically isolated structures is mainly governed by the Uniform Building Code (UBC-97) published by the International Conference of Building Officials. In the UBC code, the distribution formula of the inertial (or lateral) forces leads to an inverted triangular shape in the vertical direction. It has been found to be too conservative for most isolated structures through experimental, computational and real earthquake examinations. In this paper, four simple and reasonable design formulae, based on the first mode of the base-isolated structures, for the lateral force distribution on isolated structures have been validated by a multiple-bay three-story base-isolated steel structure tested on the shaking table. Moreover, to obtain more accurate results for base-isolated structures in which higher mode contributions are more likely expected during earthquakes, another four inertial force distribution formulae are also proposed to include higher mode effects. Besides the experimental verification through shaking table tests, the vertical distributions of peak accelerations computed by the proposed design formulae are in good agreement with the recorded floor accelerations of the USC University Hospital during the Northridge earthquake.

내관과 외관으로 구성된 모형 개단 말뚝을 압력 토조속에 상이한 설치방법으로 관입한 후,실제 지진 기록을 이용하여 모델링시킨 유사 지진을 작용시켜 개단 말뚝에서의 지지력 저감 특성을 고찰하였다. 유사 지진 진동에 의한 극한 지지력 감소율은, 타격 관입 말뚝에서 약 20%였으며, 진동 관입 말뚝의 경우 약 40%에 달하였다. 또한,외주변 마찰력의 감소는 극한 지지력 감소의 대부분을 차지하여 약 80%였으며, 선단 강재부 지지력과 관내토 폐색력은 각각 약 10%였으며, 이러한 경향은 말뚝의 설치방법에 따라 크게 달라지지 않았다.

The building sector has seen a huge increase in the use of lightweight concrete recently, which might result in saving in both cost and time. As a result, the study has been done on various types of concrete, including lightweight (LC), heavyweight (HC), and ordinary concrete (OC), to understand how they react to earthquake loads. The comparisons between their responses have also been taken into account in order to acquire the optimal reaction for various materials in building work. The findings demonstrate that LWC building models are more earthquake-resistant than the other varieties due to the reduction in building weight which can be a curial factor in the resistance of earthquake forces. Another crucial factor that was taken into study is the combination of various types of concrete [HC, LC, and OC] in the structural components. On the other hand, the bending moments and shear forces of LC had reduced to 17% and 19%, respectively, when compared to OC. Otherwise, the bending moment and shear force demand responses in the HC model reach their maximum values by more than 34% compared to the reference model OC. In addition, the results show that the LCC-OCR (light concrete column and ordinary concrete roof) and OCC-LCR (ordinary concrete for the column and light concrete for the roof) models' responses have fewer values than the other types.
