Recently, high-rise building structures connected by a sky-bridge are frequently constructed. To predict accurate dynamic responses of structures connected a sky-bridge, time history analysis is required. Repetitive analyses are required in the design process. If the entire structure model is employed in the repetitive time history analysis, it would take a lot of computational time and engineers' efforts. Therefore, an equivalent model for high-rise building structures connected by a sky-bridge was proposed in this study. The proposed model consists of cantilever having original structure's stiffnesses and masses. Based on the analytical results, it has been shown that the equivalent model can reduce the analysis time and provide similar seismic responses to the original model.

In order to perform a soil-isolation-structure interaction analysis of seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, the nonlinear behavior of a seismic isolation system may be converted to an equivalent linear model used in frequency domain analysis. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to a simple artificial acceleration history and different site class earthquakes are evaluated for the equivalent-linear and nonlinear models that have been applied to lead-rubber bearing (LRB) modeling. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of the equivalent linear model are larger than that of the nonlinear model. From the floor response spectrum analysis for the top of NPP containment structures, it can be observed that the spectral acceleration of an equivalent linear model at about 0.5 Hz frequency is about 2~3 times larger than that of a nonlinear model.

지진하중을 받는 구조물의 시스템 연성요구도 산정과 비선형 지진거동 예측에 대한 연구는 성능에 기초한 내진설계에서 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 철골 모멘트골조 구조물에 대하여 비선형 시간이력해석에 의한 비선형 지진응답과 시스템 연성요구도를 산정하고, 그 결과를 비선형 정적해석을 이용한 능력스펙트럼법과 비교하였다. 예제구조물에 대한 내진성능평가는 ATC-40에서 제시된 능력스펙트럼법과 본 연구에서 제안한 다자유도 시스템으로부터 직접 산정된 대표응답을 이용한 개선된 능력스펙트럼법과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법의 정확성과 타당성은 ATC-40에서 제시된 방법과 제안된 방법에 의한 결과를 비선형 시간이력해석에 의한 비선형 지진응답과 비교함으로써 검증하였다.

본 논문의 목적은 탄성과 비탄성 구조물의 지진응답제어를 위한 마찰감쇠기의 설계절차를 제시하는 것이다. ATC-40과 ATC-55를 이용하여 비탄성 구조물의 등가선형감쇠비와 등가선형주기를 구하였고, 이에 기초하여 목표 성능을 만족하기 위한 마찰감쇠기의 최대마찰력을 결정하는 식을 제시하였다. 이 식은 항복 전후 강성비와 요구되는 탄성강도에 대한 항복강도비, 그리고 구조물의 주기에 따라 비선형 수치해석과 오차가 발생한다. 수식에 의해 산출한 최대마찰력과 비선형 수치 해석에 의해 산출된 값과의 오차를 줄이기 위하여, 최소 제곱법을 사용하여 오차 보정식을 제시하였다. 수치해석결과는 제안된 보정식을 사용하면 탄성 및 비탄성 지진응답제어를 위한 마찰감쇠기의 설계를 합리적으로 수행할 수 있음을 보여준다

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.

This paper presents the wind excited acceleration responses of a 50 m guyed mast under the action of Typhoon Dujuan. The response of the structure is reconstructed from using a full finite element model and an equivalent beam-column model. The wind load is modelled based on the measured wind speed and recommendations for high-rise structures. The nonlinear time response analysis is conducted using the Newton Raphson iteration procedure. Comparative studies on the measured and computed frequencies and acceleration responses show that the torsional vibration of the structure is significant particularly in the higher vibration modes after the first few bending modes. The equivalent model, in general, gives less accurate amplitude predictions than the full model because of the omission of torsional stiffness of the mast in the vibration analysis, but the root-mean-square value is close to the measured value in general with an error of less than 10%.

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 should be calculated. To calculate the equivalent response of MDOF system, equivalent responses are obtained by using Song method, Fajfar method and Calvi method. Also, those responses are applied to CSM method and seismic performance of bridge according to the ESDOF method are compared and evaluated straightforwardly.

The seismic responses of a base Isolated Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) are investigated using a mathematical model which expresses the superstructure as a linear lumped mass-spring and the seismic Isolator as an equivalent spring-damper. Time history analyses are performed for the 1940 El Centre earthquake with linear amplification. In the analysis 5% of structural damping is used for the superstructure. The effects of high damping rubber bearing on seismic response of the superstructure in base isolated system are evaluated for four stiffness model types. The acceleration responses in base isolated PWR superstructure with high damping rubber bearings are much smaller than those in fixed base structure. In the higher strain region where stiffness behaves non-linearly, the acceleration responses modelled by one equivalent stiffness are smaller than those in nonlinear spring model, and the higher stiffness spring model of isolator exhibits larger peak acceleration response at superstructure in the frequency range above 2.0 Hz. when subjected to linearly amplified 1940 El Centre earthquake.

System-level ductility is an essential parameter for seismic performance evaluation of multistory building structures. The ductility demands for single degree of freedom structures or individual structural members can be determined easily. However, there is no clearly established method to determine the ductility demands for structural systems. The system ductility demands are estimated in this study by the equivalent SDOF system methods and proposed method which used the representative responses obtained from the MDOF systems directly. And seismic performance of building structures is evaluated by the modified Capacity Spectrum Method using the representative responses, and the result was compared with those of the inelastic time history analysis.

This study presents a dynamic response analysis of operational and parked wind turbines in order to gain better understanding of the roles of wind loads on turbine blades and tower in the generation of turbine response. The results show that the wind load on the tower has a negligible effect on the blade responses of both operational and parked turbines. Its effect on the tower response is also negligible for operational turbine, but is significant for parked turbine. The tower extreme responses due to the wind loads on blades and tower of parked turbine can be estimated separately and then combined for the estimation of total tower extreme response. In current wind turbine design practice, the tower extreme response due to the wind loads on blades is often represented as a static response under an equivalent static load in terms of a concentrated force and a moment at the tower top. This study presents an improved equivalent static load model with additional distributed inertial force on tower, and introduces the square-root-of-sum-square combination rule, which is shown to provide a better prediction of tower extreme response.
