본 연구에서 구조요소 및 구조계에 대한 지진손상 해석방법의 개념 및 과정을 연구하였다. 구조요소에 대한 지진손상도 해석은 구조요소나 단자유도계에 관한 기존의 방법으로 가장 널리사용되고 있는 Park & Ang 방법에 의하여 예제구조물에 대하여 수행하였다. 구조계에 대한 지진손상도 해석을 수행하기 위해서는 두 가지의 과정을 사용하였다. 첫 번째 과정은 구조계에 해당하는 지진응답을 구조계 대표응답법과 등가단자유도계 응답법을 이용하여 구한 후, 구조계의 지진손상도는 기존의 단자유도계나 구조요소에 관한 방법을 이용하여 구조계의 지진응답으로부터 구한다. 두 번째 구조요소에 대한 지진손상도 해석결과를 손상지수 조합법을 이용하여 선형적으로 조합하여 구조계의 지진손상도를 구한다. 각 방법의 유용성은 몇 개의 다른 지진과 예제구조물에 대하여 비교를 통하여 연구하였다.

The capacity spectrum method (CSM) can be used for the evaluation of inelastic maximum response of structures and has been recently used in the seismic design using the incorporation of pushover analysis and response spectrum method. To efficiently evaluate seismic performance of multi-degree-of freedom (MDOF) bridge structures, it is important that the equivalent response of MDOF bridge structures be calculated. In this study to calculate the equivalent response of MDOF system, equivalent responses are obtained by the using Song method, N2 method and Calvi method. Also, these are applied the CSM method and seismic performance of bridge according to the ESDOF method are compared and evaluated.

Hysteretic energy is defined as energy dissipated through inelastic deformations during a ground motion by the system. It includes frequency content and duration of ground motion as two remarkable parameters, while these characteristics are not seen in displacement spectrum. Since maximum displacement individually cannot be the appropriate criterion for damage assessment, hysteretic energy has been evaluated in this research as a more comprehensive seismic demand parameter. An innovative methodology has been proposed to establish a new equivalent linear model to estimate hysteretic energy spectrum for bilinear SDOF models under two different sets of earthquake excitations. Error minimization has been defined in the space of equivalent linearization concept, which resulted in equivalent damping and equivalent period as representative parameters of the linear model. Nonlinear regression analysis was carried out for predicting these equivalent parameter as a function of ductility. The results also indicate differences between seismic demand characteristics of far-field and near-field ground motions, which are not identified by most of previous equations presented for predicting seismic energy. The main advantage of the proposed model is its independency on parameters related to earthquake and response characteristics, which has led to more efficiency as well as simplicity. The capability of providing a practical energy based seismic performance evaluation is another outstanding feature of the proposed model.

To estimate the structural seismic demand, some methods are based on an equivalent linear system such as the Capacity Spectrum Method, the N2 method and the Equivalent Linearization method. Another category, widely investigated, is based on displacement correction such as the Displacement Coefficient Method and the Coefficient Method. Its basic concept consists in converting the elastic linear displacement of an equivalent Single Degree of Freedom system (SDOF) into a corresponding inelastic displacement. It relies on adequate modifying or reduction coefficient such as the inelastic deformation ratio which is usually developed for systems with known ductility factors ($C_{\mu}$) and ($C_R$) for known yield-strength reduction factor. The present paper proposes a rational approach which estimates this inelastic deformation ratio for SDOF bilinear systems by rigorous nonlinear analysis. It proposes a new inelastic deformation ratio which unifies and combines both $C_{\mu}$ and $C_R$ effects. It is defined by the ratio between the inelastic and elastic maximum lateral displacement demands. Three options are investigated in order to express the inelastic response spectra in terms of: ductility demand, yield strength reduction factor, and inelastic deformation ratio which depends on the period, the post-to-preyield stiffness ratio, the yield strength and the peak ground acceleration. This new inelastic deformation ratio ($C_{\eta}$) is describes the response spectra and is related to the capacity curve (pushover curve): normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$), post-to-preyield stiffness ratio (${\alpha}$), natural period (T), peak ductility factor (${\mu}$), and the yield strength reduction factor ($R_y$). For illustrative purposes, instantaneous ductility demand and yield strength reduction factor for a SDOF system subject to various recorded motions (El-Centro 1940 (N/S), Boumerdes: Algeria 2003). The method accuracy is investigated and compared to classical formulations, for various hysteretic models and values of the normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$), post-to-preyield stiffness ratio (${\alpha}$), and natural period (T). Though the ductility demand and yield strength reduction factor differ greatly for some given T and ${\eta}$ ranges, they remain take close when ${\eta}>1$, whereas they are equal to 1 for periods $T{\geq}1s$.

The purpose of this paper is to present a design procedure of coulomb friction dampers for controlling elastic and inelastic responses of building structures. The equivalent damping and frequency increased by the friction damper are estimated using ATC-40 and ATC-55 procedures which provide equivalent linear system for bilinear one, and then a design formula to achieve target performance response level by friction damper is presented. It is identified that there exists error between the responses obtained by this formula and by performing nonlinear analysis and the features of the error vary according to the hardening ratio, yield strength ratio, and structural period. Equations for compensating this er개r are reposed based on the least square method, and the results from numerical analyses indicate that the error is significantly reduced, and the proposed formula can be used without much error for designing coulomb friction damper for retrofitting a structure showing elastic or inelastic behavior.

구조물의 내진 성능을 정확히 평가하기 위해서는 비선형 시각 이력 해석이 필요하지만 실용성과 단순성 측면에서 약산법이 대안이 될 수 있으며, 다층 구조물을 등가 단자유도계로 치환할 때 다층 구조물의 모드벡터는 구조물이 탄성 또는 탄소성 상태에 상관없이 탄성 상태에서의 모드 형상으로 가정되지만, 항복이 발생한 후 증가하는 하중단계에서 구조물은 비탄성으로 되기 때문에 변위 모드 특성들도 변화된다. 본 논문은 항복 이후의 구조물의 모드 변화를 고려한 비선형 변위모드를 이용하여 다자유도계를 등가 단자유도계로 변환하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 변환된 등가 단자유도계의 변위응답을 근거로 추정한 복합 구조물의 최상층 변위와 실제 지진교란을 받는 복합 구조물의 비선형 동적해석에 의한 최상층 변위를 비교함으로서 복합구조물의 지진응답예측을 위한 비선형 변위모드법의 적용성과 신뢰성을 검토하였다.

Seismic control performance of MR dampers, which have severe nonlinearity, differs with respect to the dynamic characteristics of an earthquake such as magnitude, frequency and duration. In this study, the effects of excitation characteristics on the equivalent linear system of a building structure with the MR damper are investigated through numerical analysis for artificial ground motions generated from different response spectrums. The equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is calculated using Newmark and Hall's equations for ground motion amplification factors. It is found that the equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is dependent on the ratio of the maximum friction force of the MR damper over excitation magnitude. Frequency contents of the earthquake ground motion affects the equivalent damping ratio of long-period structures considerably. Also, additional damping effect caused by interaction between the viscousity and friction of the MR damper is observed. Finally, response reduction factors for equivalent linear systems are proposed in order to improve accuracy in the prediction of the actual nonlinear response.

A damage-based seismic design procedure for steel frame structures is formulated as an optimization problem, in which minimization of the initial construction cost is treated as the objective of the problem. The performance constraint of the design procedure is to achieve "repairable" damage state for earthquake demands that are less severe than the design ground motions. The Park-Ang damage index is selected as the seismic damage measure for the quantification of structural damage. The charged system search (CSS) algorithm is employed as the optimization algorithm to search the optimum solutions. To improve the time efficiency of the solution algorithm, two simplifying strategies are adopted: first, SDOF idealization of multi-story building structures capable of estimating the actual seismic response in a very short time; second, fitness approximation decreasing the number of fitness function evaluations. The results from a numerical application of the proposed framework for designing a twelve-story 3D steel frame structure demonstrate its efficiency in solving the present optimization problem.
