An improved procedure for earthquake resistant design of multistory building structures is proposed in this study. The effect of gravity load on seismic response of structures is evaluated through nonlinear dynamic analyses of a single story example structure. The presence of gravity load tends to initiate plastic hinge formation in earlier stage of a strong earthquake. However, the effect of gravity load seems to disapper as ground motion is getting stronger. And one of shortcomings in current earthquake resistant codes is overestimation of gravity load effects when earthquake load is applied at the same time so that it may leads to less inelastic deformation or structural damage in upper stories, and inelastic deformation is increased in lower stories. Based on these observation, an improved procedure for earthquake resistant design is derived by reducing the factor for gravity load and inceasing that for seismic load. Structures designed by the proposed design procedure turned out to have increased safety and stability against strong earthquakes.

In the present study, exterior beam column sub-assemblages are designed in accordance with the codal stipulations prevailed at different times prior to the introduction of modern seismic provisions, viz., i) Gravity load designed with straight bar anchorage (SP1), ii) Gravity load designed with compression anchorage (SP1-D), iii) designed for seismic load but not detailed for ductility (SP2), and iv) designed for seismic load and detailed for ductility (SP3). Comparative seismic performance of these exterior beam-column sub-assemblages are evaluated through experimental investigations carried out under repeated reverse cyclic loading. Seismic performance parameters like load-displacement hysteresis behavior, energy dissipation, strength and stiffness degradation, and joint shear deformation of the specimens are evaluated. It is found from the experimental studies that with the evolution of the design methods, from gravity load designed to non-ductile and then to ductile detailed specimens, a marked improvement in damage resilience is observed. The gravity load designed specimens SP1 and SP1-D respectively dissipated only one-tenth and one-sixth of the energy dissipated by SP3. The specimen SP3 showcased tremendous improvement in the energy dissipation capacity of nearly 2.56 times that of SP2. Irrespective of the level of design and detailing, energy dissipation is finally manifested through the damage in the joint region. The present study underlines the seismic deficiency of beam-column sub-assemblages of different design evolutions and highlights the need for their strengthening/retrofit to make them fit for seismic event.

본 연구에서는 지진에 대한 고층건물의 응답특성, 그리고 지진응답에 미치는 중력하중의 영향과 중력하중의 영향이 내진설계에 미치는 중요성을 산정하였다. 이를 위해서 예제 구조물에 대한 정적해석 및 지진하중에 대한 동적해석을 하였다. 지진에 대한 고층건물의 지진응답 특성을 파악하기 위하여 비탄성 변형의 건물 높이에 따른 분포를 알아보았다. 지진이 발생하면 휨모멘트 요구도가 건물의 상부층보다 하부층에서 상대적으로 더 많이 증가해서 설계모멘트와의 차이가 건물의 하부층으로 갈수록 더 커진다. 그 결과 현재 쓰이는 내진설계방법에 따라 설계된 예제 건물들은 지진에 대하여 비탄성 응답이 건물의 각 층마다 서로 다르게 발생하는데 주로 건물의 하부층에서 큰 비탄성 응답이 발생한다. 또한 설계시에 고려된 중력하중 때문에 구조적 손상이 건물의 꼭대기 층에서 아래로 갈수록 크게 증가한다. 구조물의 지진응답에 관하여 중력하중은 보의 항복시간을 앞당기며, 보의 양단의 소성힌지에 각기 다른 비탄성 거동을 유발시킨다. 그러나 중력하중에 의한 초기 휨모멘트의 영향은 보가 비탄성 거동을 계속함에 따라 재분배되어 보의 양단에서 그 영향이 감소되며 비탄성 변형이 계속되면 크게 감소한다. 중력하중에 의한 초기 휨모멘트의 영향이 감소는 고층건물의 내진설계에 있어서 중력하중의 영향이 주는 의미는 기둥과 보의 휨강도를 결정할 때 현재의 방법보다 중력하중의 영향을 줄이고 지진하중의 영향을 증가시켜야 한다는 것이다.

The equivalent frame method (EFM) is widely used for the design of two-way reinforced concrete slab structures, and current design codes of practice permit the application of the EFM in analyzing the flat plate slab structures under gravity and lateral loads. The EFM was, however, originally developed for the flat plate structures subjected to gravity load, which is not suitable for lateral loading case. Therefore, this study, the first part of series research paper, proposed the structural analysis method for the flat plate slab structures under the combined gravity and lateral loads, which is named as the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM). In the proposed method, some portion of rotation induced in the torsional member is distributed to the flexibility of the equivalent columns, and the remaining portion is contributed to that of the equivalent slabs. In the consecutive companion paper, the proposed UEFM is verified by comparing with test results of multi-span flat plate structures. Also, a simplified nonlinear push-over analysis method is proposed, and verified by comparing to test results.

In this paper, a design and analysis of a gravity compensator which is a new device to reduce the joint torque of robots caused due to gravity is presented. Joints of all robots are loaded by large torques due to gravity. By applying the gravity compensator to the robot joints, the load torques applied to the robot joints are reduced by the repulsive force of the gravity compensator such that the size of the joint actuation motor can be reduced. In this paper, the structure and force relation of the gravity compensator are analyzed. The superior performance of the proposed gravity compensator is verified through experiments which measure the joint motor current caused by the load applied to the robot link.

방폭설계에 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 등가단자유도 해석법은 구조부재의 방폭성능평가에 있어서 중력하중효과를 전혀 고려하지 않고 있다. 그러나 구조물의 기둥 및 벽체의 경우 일반적으로 중력하중이 존재하므로, 이를 고려한 구조부재의 방폭성능을 평가하여야 한다. 이 논문에서는 강재 압축재의 동적 폭발응답 등가단자유도해석에 중력하중효과를 반영하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 압축재의 휨저항력과 고유주기를 일정하게 하고 최대폭발하중 및 지속시간, 중력하중을 달리하여 변수해석을 수행하였다. 등가단자유도해석결과와 유한요소해석결과를 비교하고, 다양한 중력하중을 작용한 경우에 대하여 유한요소해석에 의한 압축재의 폭발응답을 평가하였다. 최종적으로, 폭발하중, 중력하중, 부재특성에 따른 강재 압축재의 소요연성을 도표화하였다. 이 도표를 활용하여 중력하중을 고려한 강재 압축재의 폭발응답을 합리적이고 편리하게 예측할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A numerical analysis was performed for interior connections of continuous flat plate to analyze the effect of design parameters such as column section shape, gravity load and slab span on the behavioral characteristics of the connections. Through the parametric study, the variations of shear stress distribution around the connection were investigated. According to the result of numerical analysis, as the length of the cross section of column in the direction of lateral load increases and gravity load increases, the effective area and the maximum shear strength providing the torsional resistance decrease considerably. And as the slab span loaded with relatively large gravity load increases, the negative moment around the connection increases and therefore the strength of connection against unbalanced moment decreases.

KCI 2007, ACI 318-08에 제시된 모멘트재분배 방법은 등분포 중력하중을 받는 연속 휨재에 대하여 검증된 방법이다. 횡하중에 의한 모멘트재분배 및 비탄성 거동은 중력하중과 전혀 다른 메커니즘을 발생된다. 이 연구에서는 기초역학에 근거하여 중력하중과 횡하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 모멘트골조의 보에 발생되는 모멘트재분배와 소성변형의 관계를 정량화하고, 이로부터 보의 소성변형능력에 근거한 모멘트재분배 설계법을 제안하였다. 제안된 모멘트재분배비는 KCI 2007, ACI 318-08 등 기존 설계기준과 마찬가지로 극한한계상태의 단면해석으로 결정되는 철근의 인장변형률로 정의된다. 또한 모멘트재분배비는 경간, 철근비, 단면강성, 변형경화 거동에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 탄성해석으로 구한 설계모멘트를 재분배시키는 설계 가이드라인 및 예제를 제시하였다.

The expediency of revising universal rules for the combination of gravity and lateral actions of wind force-resisting steel structures recommended by the Standards EN 1990 and ASCE/SEI 7-05 is discussed. Extreme wind forces, gravity actions and their combinations for the limit state design of structures are considered. The effect of statistical uncertainties of extreme wind pressure and steel yield strength on the structural safety of beam-column joints of wind force-resisting multistory steel frames designed by the partial factor design (PFD) and the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods is demonstrated. The limit state criterion and the performance process of steel frame joints are presented and considered. Their long-term survival probability analysis is based on the unsophisticated method of transformed conditional probabilities. A numerical example illustrates some discrepancies in international design standards and the necessity to revise the rule of universal combinations of loads in wind and structural engineering.
