Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Taiwan have suffered failure from strong earthquakes, which was magnified by the non-ductile detailing frames. Inadequate reinforcement as a consequence of the design philosophy prior to the introduction of current standards resulted in severe damage in the column and beam-column joint (BCJ). This study establishes a finite element analysis (FEA) of the non-ductile detailing RC column, BCJ, and three-story building that was previously tested through a tri-axial shaking table test. The results were then validated to laboratory specimens having the exact same dimensions and properties. FEA simulation integrates the concrete damage plasticity model and the elastic-perfectly plastic model for steel. The load-displacement responses of the column and BCJ specimens obtained from FEA were in a reasonable agreement with the experimental curves. The resulting initial stiffness and maximum base shear were found to be a close approximation to the experimental results. Also, the findings of a dynamic analysis of the three-story building showed that the time-history data of acceleration and displacement correlated well with the shaking table test results. This indicates the FEA implementation can be effectively used to predict the RC frame performance and failure mode under seismic loads.

Non-seismically designed eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column joints were extensively used in existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, which were found to be vulnerable to seismic action in many incidences. To provide a fundamental understanding of the seismic performance and failure mechanism of the joints, three 2/3-scale exterior beam-column joints with non-seismically designed details were cast and tested under reversed cyclic loads simulating earthquake excitation. In this investigation, particular emphasis was given on the effects of the eccentricity between the centerlines of the beam and the column. It is shown that the eccentricity had significant effects on the damage characteristics, shear strength, and displacement ductility of the specimens. In addition, shear deformation and the strain of joint hoops were found to concentrate on the eccentric face of the joint. The results demonstrated that the specimen with an eccentricity of 1/4 column width failed in a brittle manner with premature joint shear failure, while the other specimens with less or no eccentricity failed in a ductile manner with joint shear failure after beam flexural yielding. Test results are compared with those predicted by three seismic design codes and two non-seismic design codes. In general, the codes do not accurately predict the shear strength of the eccentric joints with non-seismic details.

본 연구는 흙막이굴착 공사에 의한 지반거동을 평가하여, 구조물의 형상, 위치, 굴착공정 변화등의 다양한 조건과 지반/구조물의 상호작용이 고려된 모형실험을 기본으로 수행하였다. 흙막이굴착에 따른 인접구조물의 손상수준은 구조물의 형상비(L/h), 굴착단계, 이격거리(X) 등에 따라 현저히 다르게 나타남을 확인하였으며, 구조물 중 가장 취약한 구간(BAY)에 따른 평가가 시공초기에 보다 세밀하고 구체적으로 분석되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 구조물에 발생된 균열의 손상수준을 손상도표에서 평가해 본 결과, 균열손상 수준이 적용된 평가가 각변위와 수평변형율만 적용된 손상수준보다 안전측으로 평가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로, 각변위와 수평변형율 뿐만 아니라 균열이 고려된 손상평가를 수행하는 것이 보다 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

The buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBFECs) are stable cyclic behavior and high energy absorption capacity. Furthermore, they have an architectural advantage for creating openings like eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). In the present study, it has been suggested to use the performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method to calculate the design base shear of the BRBFEC systems. Moreover, in this study, to reduce the required steel material, it has been suggested to use the performance-based practical design (PBPD) method instead of the force-based design (FBD) method for the design of this system. The 3-, 6-, and 9-story buildings with the BRBFEC system were designed, and the finite element models were modeled. The seismic performance of the models was investigated using two suits of ground motions representing the maximum considered earthquake (MCE) and design basis earthquake (DBE) seismic hazard levels. The results showed that the models designed with the suggested method, which had lower weights compared to those designed with the FBD method, had a desirable seismic performance in terms of maximum story drift and ductility demand under earthquakes at both MCE and DBE seismic hazard levels. This suggests that the steel weights of the structures designed with the PBPD method are about 13% to 18% lesser than the FBD method. However, the residual drifts in these models were higher than those in the models designed with the FBD method. Also, in earthquakes at the DBE hazard level, the residual drifts in all models except the PBPD-6s and PBPD-9s models were less than the allowable reparability limit.

The parameters of civil engineering structures have time-variant characteristics during their service. When extremely large external excitations, such as earthquake excitation to buildings or overweight vehicles to bridges, apply to structures, sudden or gradual damage may be caused. It is crucially necessary to detect the occurrence time and severity of the damage. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF), as one efficient estimator, is usually used to conduct the recursive identification of parameters. However, the conventional UKF algorithm has a weak tracking ability for time-variant structural parameters. To improve the identification ability of time-variant parameters, an adaptive UKF with forgetting factor (AUKF-FF) algorithm, in which the state covariance, innovation covariance and cross covariance are updated simultaneously with the help of the forgetting factor, is proposed. To verify the effectiveness of the method, this paper conducted two case studies as follows: the identification of time-variant parameters of a simply supported bridge when the vehicle passing, and the model updating of a six-story concrete frame structure with field test during the Yangbi earthquake excitation in Yunnan Province, China. The comparison results of the numerical studies show that the proposed method is superior to the conventional UKF algorithm for the time-variant parameter identification in convergence speed, accuracy and adaptability to the sampling frequency. The field test studies demonstrate that the proposed method can provide suggestions for solving practical problems.

Micro-climate measurements and computational fluid analysis were conducted to use it as basic data for the preservation and management of the old house of Kim Myung-kwan, a traditional building that is National Folk Cultural Property No. 26. As a result of the actual measurement, the temperature and humidity are relatively evenly distributed indoors unlike outdoors, but the temperature and humidity vary depending on the time change and the installation location in the outdoors. It was found that the temperature increases after dawn and the temperature varies depending on the installation position around 14:00-15:00, when the temperature becomes the highest. In particular, the temperature was high at the outdoor measurement point adjacent to the building and the fence. As a result of the computational fluid analysis, the temperature was high in the buildings and fences in the old house or in the area adjacent to the building, and it was about 1℃ higher than the surrounding area. In this area, it is judged that the thickening of wood will occur more severely than in other locations, and special preservation management is required.

Earthquakes can lead to substantial damage to buildings, with long-period ground motion being particularly destructive. The design of high-performance building structures has become a prominent focus of research. The double-story isolated structure is a novel type of isolated structure developed from base isolated structure. To delve deeper into the building performance of double-story isolated structures, the double-story isolated structure was constructed with the upper isolated layer located in different layers, alongside a base isolated structure for comparative analysis. Nonlinear elastoplastic analyses were conducted on these structures using different ground motion inputs, including ordinary ground motion, near-field impulsive ground motion, and far-field harmonic ground motion. The results demonstrate that the double-story isolated structure can extend the structural period further than the base isolated structure under three types of ground motions. The double-story isolated structure exhibits lower base shear, inter-story displacement, base isolated layer displacement, story shear, and maximum acceleration of the top layer, compared to the base isolated structure. In addition, the double-story isolated structure generates fewer plastic hinges in the frame, causes less damage to the core tube, and experiences smaller overturning moments, demonstrating excellent resistance to overturning and a shock-absorbing effect. As the upper isolated layer is positioned higher, the compressive stress on the isolated bearings of the upper isolated layer in the double-story isolated structure gradually decreases. Moreover, the compressive stress on the isolated bearings of the base isolated layer is lower compared to that of the base isolated structure. However, the shock-absorbing capacity of the double-story isolated structure is significantly increased when the upper isolated layer is located in the middle and lower section. Notably, in regions exposed to long-period ground motion, a double-story isolated structure can experience greater seismic response and reduced shock-absorbing capacity, which may be detrimental to the structure.

이 연구는 중국의 중세 목조건축을 대상으로 귀포(轉角鋪作)의 변천을 고찰한 것이다. 연구의 목적은 당대(唐代)부터 금대(金代)에 건축된 목조건축 중 중국정부가 전국중점문물보호단위(國保)로 지정 보호하고 있는 71동의 건물을 대상으로 귀포의 시기별 변천 양상을 살펴보고 변화요인을 파악하는데 있다. 이 연구에서는 귀포를 구성하는 좌우대(左右隊)의 다양한 결구유형에 주목하여 귀포의 변천과 전개과정을 고찰했다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 귀포의 형식 변화는 건축을 주도했던 장인들의 좌우대에 대한 인식 변화와 깊은 관련이 있다. 초기의 귀포에서는 소첨과 대첨으로 구성되는 중공조(重?造) 구성과 일두삼승(一斗三升)의 첨차 구성 원칙이 잘 유지되었으나 건축기술의 발달로 귀포의 출목부(出目部)에 귀잡이한대(말각공)와 좌우대가 결구되면서 다양한 형식이 나타났다. 초기의 귀포에서 진일보한 과도기형 귀포는 홀수 단에 놓인 좌우대의 모양에 따라 세 가지 유형으로 구분된다. 즉 귀한대에 면해 좌우대의 뺄목이 형성되지 않은 '무(無)뺄목형'(요, 북송)을 비롯한 좌우대의 뺄목이 사두(?頭)와 같은 모양인 '사두뺄목형'(북송, 금)과 좌우대의 뺄목이 소공두(小?頭)와 같은 '소공두형'(남송, 금)이 그것이다. 귀포의 후기형인 정형은 각 출목에 사두가 결구되는 유형으로 비록 요대에 형성되었지만 폭넓게 적용된 시기는 원대이후로 추정된다. 요대(遼代)에 이르러 건물의 지붕이 대형화되고 처마가 길게 돌출되는 변화가 나타나면서 하중이 집중되는 귀포를 구조적으로 보강할 필요가 생겼다. 이 시기에 처음 사용된 귀잡이한대는 귀포의 구조 보강을 위해 사용되었지만 이후 귀포의 형식 변화에 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 파악된다. 그리고 요대(遼代)에 발달한 공포재인 익형공(翼型?)은 귀포를 비롯한 건물의 공포형식이 투심조(偸心造)에서 계심조(計心造)로 변화하는데 큰 영향을 주었으며, 이와 같은 변화는 무앙계 건축을 중심으로 귀포의 정형화에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 하지만 동시기 하앙계 건축에서는 무앙계에 비해 귀포가 '사두(?頭)뺄목형'에서 '소공두형'으로 바뀌는 변화가 서서히 일어났다. 무엇보다 귀포의 변화에 요대의 건축특성이 중요한 역할을 하였음이 주목된다.

현재 우리나라의 중소창호업계는 글레이징과 창프레임 제조가 별도의 산업체로 분리되어 있다. 그러나, 창호에너지소비효율 등급제와 건물의 에너지절약설계기준에 따르면, 창호의 열관류율 기준은 글레이징과 창프레임을 일체화시킨 창세트에 의해 정의된다. 대부분의 창호제조 중소업체는 글레이징과 프레임부분을 통합하는 생산체계를 갖추지 못하고 있으며, 대부분의 공사현장에서 창호는 별도로 납품된 유리와 프레임을 설치하는 방식으로 시공된다. 이러한 현실과 제도를 연결할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우선 창호에너지소비효율등급제의 현장상황을 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과, 창호에너지소비효율 등급제에 대한 이해도는 전반적으로 높았으나, 만족도는 낮았으며, 공사현장에서는 공장제조된 일체화된 시스템의 창호가 아니라 현장조립에 의한 창호를 사용하는 것이 일반적으로, 현재의 등급제가 현장에서 잘 적용된다고 확신하지 못하는 상황이었다. 따라서, '창호에너지소비효율등급제'는 산업현장의 현실성을 돌이켜보고, 이론적으로 치우칠 것이 아니라, 현실적인 대안을 제시해야 한다.

본 연구에서는 스터드패널과 경량철골골조로 구성된 모듈러건물 유닛의 강성, 하중재하능력, 연성능력, 에너지소산능력 등 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 주기실험을 수행하였다. 모듈러건물 유닛의 횡력저항요소로서 스트랩브레이스 및 시트강판으로 보강된 스터드패널을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 스트랩브레이스 및 시트강판 보강 스터드패널을 사용한 모듈러건물유닛은 우수한 연성거동을 보였다. 최대변위비는 5.37% 이상을 보였고, 변위연성도는 5.76 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주기거동 동안 핀칭이 크게 발생하여 주기당 에너지소산량은 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 모듈러건물유닛의 소성메커니즘을 바탕으로 내진설계를 위한 강도, 항복변위, 탄성강성 등 설계식을 제안하였고 실험 결과와 비교를 통하여 제안된 설계식을 검증하였다. 제안된 방법은 모듈러건물유닛의 하중재하능력, 강성 등 내진성능을 합리적으로 예측하였다. 그러나 스트랩브레이스 보강 스터드패널의 탄성강성은 크게 과대평가되었으므로, 안전한 내진설계를 위해서는 구조해석 시 탄성강성을 50%로 줄이는 것이 필요하다.
