The main aim of this study is to quantify the code seismic design coefficients of the RCS system, which consisted of reinforced concrete columns and steel beams, based on the FEMA P-695 methodology. The underlying intention is to evaluate the seismic performance of the RCS system at the system level rather than the connection level. A set of 24 archetype buildings with a various number of stories, beam span lengths, gravity load levels, and seismic load levels are selected and designed based on the prevailing code requirements. Nonlinear analytical models are developed and validated by experimental tests. The pushover and response history dynamic analyses are conducted to evaluate the required data in the performance quantification process. The results show that the design coefficients suggested by the code are acceptable. However, the level of conservatism is very high. Thus, it is possible to use a larger R-factor in the design process or make some relaxations in the design requirements related to this structural system.

In this paper Fragility Curves (FCs) relevant to existing RC framed building types representative of the Italian building population designed only to vertical load and regular in-plan have been derived from an extensive campaign of non-linear dynamic analyses. In the generation of the FCs, damage states according to the EMS98 scale have been considered while the intensity measure has been defined by adopting an integral parameter, such as the Housner intensity. FCs have been generated by varying different parameters, including building age, number of storeys, presence and position of infill panels, plan dimensions, external beams stiffness and concrete strength. In order to verify the effectiveness of the damage prediction, comparisons were made between the results obtained from the proposed FCs with those deriving from both prominent fragility studies available in the technical literature and damage distributions observed in past earthquakes. Results show that damage grades obtained by adopting the proposed FCs are generally lower than those provided by the other approaches considered. A comparison with real damage data, shows that the proposed FCs generally estimate more severe damage distributions than those observed in past earthquakes, although they give lower differences with respect to the other approaches.

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.

Shear wall-frame system is one of the most, if not the most, popular system for resisting lateral loads. The core is the primary lateral load-resisting systems, the perimeter frame is designed for gravity loads, and the connection between perimeter frame and core is generally a shear connection. Specially, single plate shear connection have gained considerable popularity in recent years due to their ease of fabrication and erection. Single plate shear connection should be designed to satisfy the dual criteria of shear strength and rotational ductility. An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate seismic behavior of single plate shear connection. The main test variable is the reinforcing detail of connection. Through the experimental program, the cyclic behavior of typical and reinforcing single plate shear connection was established.

For evaluation of building performance, a nonlinear dynamic capacity of the building is a key parameter. In this study, an reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame building was chosen to study the process of determining the nonlinear dynamic capacity. The building, which was designed by IBC 2003 representing new codes, was composed of special moment resisting frames in the perimeter and internal frames inside the building. The capacity, which is inter-story drift capacity, consists of two categories, local and global collapses. Global collapse capacity was determined by incremental dynamic analysis. Local collapse capacity was determined by the same method except for utilizing damage index. In audition to this, it was also investigated that the effect of including internal frames designed by gravity load in the analysis. Results showed that the damage index is a useful tool for determining local collapse. Furthermore, including the internal frames with special frames in the analysis is very important in determining the capacity of a building so both must be considered at the same time.

1968년 영국의 Ronan Point 아파트에서 발생한 연쇄붕괴 이후 이에 대한 연구가 간헐적으로 진행되어 왔으며, 최근 미국의 World Trade Center 붕괴 후 연쇄붕괴에 대한 연구가 다시 활발히 진행되고 있다. 미국에서는 기존의 연구결과를 바탕으로 2003년 GSA 및 2005년 DoD에서 연쇄붕괴에 대한 설계 및 해석 지침을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지침서에서 제시하고 있는 선형정적해석법과, 선형동적해석법을 사용하여 국내 설계기준에 의해 설계된 철골 모멘트저항골조에 대한 붕괴저항 성능을 조사하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 GSA 기준을 적용할 경우 횡력을 고려하지 않은 수직저항시스템은 연쇄 붕괴에 취약한 것으로 나타났으나, 지진력을 고려하여 설계된 수평저항시스템은 연쇄붕괴에 대해 안전한 결과를 얻었다. 하지만 DoD 기준에 따르면 두 시스템 모두 연쇄붕괴에 취약한 것으로 나타났다.

The use of light-gauge steel framing in low-rise commercial and industrial building construction has experienced a significant increase in recent years. In such construction, the wall framing is an assembly of cold-formed steel (CFS) studs held between top and bottom CFS tracks. Current construction methods utilize heavy hot-rolled steel sections, such as steel angles or hollow structural section tubes, to transfer the load from the end seats of the floor joist and/or from the load-bearing wall studs of the stories above to the supporting load-bearing wall below. The use of hot rolled steel elements results in significant increase in construction cost and time. Such heavy steel elements would be unnecessary if the concrete slab thickening on top of the CFS wall can be made to act compositely with the CFS track. Composite action can be achieved by attaching stand-off screws to the track and encapsulating the screw shank in the deck concrete. A series of experimental studies were performed on full-scale test specimens representing concrete/CFS flexural elements under gravity loads. The studies were designed to investigate the structural performance of concrete/CFS simple beams and concrete/CFS continuous headers. The results indicate that concrete/CFS composite flexural elements are feasible and their structural behavior can be modeled with reasonable accuracy.

경골목조건축에서 못 접합부는 수평하중을 지지하고 전달하도록 설계되지만, 바람으로 인한 상향력처럼 인발하중에 직면하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 경골목조건축에서 일반적으로 사용되는 구조재와 덮개로 구성된 못 접합부에 대하여 인발성능과 2면 전단시험을 통해 인발 및 측방하중에 대한 내력성능을 시험하고 설계기준에 부합되는 가를 평가하였다. 인발하중에 대한 내력성능은 부재의 비중에 의해 크게 좌우되었으며 I형장선의 경우 낮은 밀도에도 불구하고 높은 인발성능을 나타내었다. 최대 인발하중은 기준허용 최대 인발하중보다 매우 높게 나타났다. 전단성능도 비중이 큰 낙엽송과 오에스비로 구성된 접합부가 비중이 작은 SPF와 오에스비로 구성된 접합부보다 높은 성능을 나타내었으며 모두 기준설계치보다 높은 성능을 나타내었다. 접합부의 변형은 주로 못의 휨 변형에 의한 것으로 나타났으며 SPF와 오에스비로 구성된 접합부에서의 못의 휨 변형이 현저하게 나타났다.

The need for eco-friendly building materials such as engineered wood has increased to reduce carbon emissions. Although the range and height of engineered wood buildings are gradually increasing in North America and Europe, engineered wood is mainly used for low-rise residential buildings in Korea. In order to reduce carbon emissions more, therefore, it needs to expand the use of engineered wood by applying it to various buildings with different uses or more stories. With this background, the aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of engineered wood for 9-story office buildings. Since a 9-story building with engineered wood only is not allowed in KBC, an example building has RC ordinary shear walls as the lateral force resisting system while engineered wood is only used for gravity load resisting moment frames. Another example building is also used for comparison where both lateral and gravity load resisting systems are designed by RC. The applicability of engineered wood is investigated by comparing the seismic performance and the amount of carbon emission of both buildings. The result shows that the seismic performance of both buildings was not significantly different while the amount of carbon emission of the engineered wood building was much less then the RC building. Based on this result, engineered wood is sufficiently applicable to 9-story office buildings even though it still needs to pay attention to the shear design of reinforce concrete walls.
