The main purpose of this paper is to develop seismic fragility curves for existing reinforced concrete, RC, buildings based on the post earthquake field survey and the seismic performance using capacity design. Existing RC buildings constitute approximately 65% of the total stock in Algiers. This type of buildings, RC, was widely used in the past and chosen as the structural type for the future construction program of more than 2 millions apartments all over Algeria. These buildings, suffered moderate to extensive damage after the 2003 Boumerdes earthquake, on May 21st. The determination of analytical seismic fragility curves for low-rise and mid-rise existing RC buildings was carried out based on the consistent and complete post earthquake survey after that event. The information on the damaged existing RC buildings was investigated and evaluated by experts. Thirty four (34) communes (districts) of fifty seven (57), the most populated and affected by earthquake damage were considered in this study. Utilizing the field observed damage data and the Japanese Seismic Index Methodology, based on the capacity design method. Seismic fragility curves were developed for those buildings with a large number data in order to get a statistically significant sample size. According to the construction period and the code design, four types of existing RC buildings were considered. Buildings designed with pre-code (very poor structural behavior before 1955), Buildings designed with low code (poor structural behavior, between 1955-1981), buildings designed with medium code (moderate structural behavior, between 1981-1999) and buildings designed with high code (good structural behavior, after 1999).

초고층 건물에서 수평변위 제어와 수직부재에서 발생하는 부등축소에 대한 검토가 필수적이다. 수평변위 제어를 위해 근래에 아웃리거 구조시스템과 메가 구조시스템을 횡력저항시스템으로 사용한 초고층 건물이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 부등축소로 인한 구조적 문제를 해결하기 위해 부등축소량 예측과 예측결과를 통한 시공단계에서의 보정방법이 연구되어 왔으나 부등축소에 대한 횡력저항시스템의 영향 비교는 드문 편이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 수평변위 제어를 위해 아웃리거 구조시스템과 메가 구조시스템을 사용한 60층 규모의 철근콘크리트 주거용 초고층 건물에 대해 시공단계해석을 통한 부등축소를 비교하고 그 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 또한, 부등축소는 비구조요소의 파손 및 구조요소에 부가하중을 유발하기도 하며 부등축소가 야기한 문제는 초고층 건물에서 중요한 부재를 손상시킬 수 있으므로 각 횡력저항시스템별로 수직부재의 부등축소에 대한 영향을 분석하였다.

High-rise buildings with vertical setback are widely used in practice. From the field investigation of the past earthquakes, it was found that such kind of vertically irregular high-rise building structures easily suffer severe damage during strong earthquakes. This paper presents an extensive study on the earthquake responses of moment-resisting frame structures (MFS) popularly applied in high-rise buildings with vertical setback. Four groups of MFS are designed, including three groups of structures with vertical setback and one group of structures with the lateral stiffness varying along the building height but without vertical setback. The numerical models of the structures are established, and the time history analysis of the structures under different levels of earthquakes is conducted. The earthquake responses of the structures are compared. The influence of the ratio between the horizontal setback dimension and the previous plan dimension, the eccentricity of setback, and the position where the setback occurs on the seismic performance of structures is studied. The rationality of the provisions for the structures with vertical setback specified in the current design codes is checked by the findings from this study.

This study examines the seismic failure of RC low-rise building structures having irregularities at the ground story during the 15 November 2017 Pohang, Korea, earthquake, $M_w=5.4$, which is the second strongest since the government began monitoring them in 1978 in South Korea. Some 2,000 private houses were damaged or destroyed in this earthquake. Particularly, serious damage to the piloti story of RC low-rise residential building structures of fewer than five stories was observed within 3 km of the epicenter with brittle shear failure of columns and walls due to severe torsional behavior. Buildings below six stories constructed before 2005 did not have to comply with seismic design requirements, so confinement detailing of columns and walls also led to inadequate performance. However, some buildings constructed after 2005 were damaged at the flexible side of the piloti story due to the high torsional irregularity. Based on these results, this study focuses on the problems of the seismic torsion design approach in current building codes.

Main objective of the present study is to determine the statistical properties and suitable probability distribution functions of spectral displacements from nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analysis within the frame work of Monte Carlo simulation for typical low rise and high rise RC framed buildings located in zone III and zone V and designed as per Indian seismic codes. Probabilistic analysis of spectral displacement is useful for strength assessment and loss estimation. To the author's knowledge, no study is reported in literature on comparison of spectral displacement including the uncertainties in capacity and demand in Indian context. In the present study, uncertainties in capacity of the building is modeled by choosing cross sectional dimensions of beams and columns, density and compressive strength of concrete, yield strength and elastic modulus of steel and, live load as random variables. Uncertainty in demand is modeled by choosing peak ground acceleration (PGA) as a random variable. Nonlinear static analysis (NSA) and nonlinear dynamic analysis (NDA) are carried out for typical low rise and high rise reinforced concrete framed buildings using IDARC 2D computer program with the random sample input parameters. Statistical properties are obtained for spectral displacements corresponding to performance point from NSA and maximum absolute roof displacement from NDA and suitable probability distribution functions viz., normal, Weibull, lognormal are examined for goodness-of-fit. From the hypothesis test for goodness-of-fit, lognormal function is found to be suitable to represent the statistical variation of spectral displacement obtained from NSA and NDA.

강한 지진에 대한 필로티형 고층 철근콘크리트 건물의 거동을 묘사하기 위한 해석기법의 개발과 성능평가를 위해, 상부벽식 하부 골조형식인 필로티형 건물에 대한 1/12축소 진동대 실험결과와 OpenSees를 이용하여 실험모델에 대한 비선형 시간이력해석을 수행한 결과를 비교하였다. 하부골조 형식은 모두 골조로 이루어진 형태(BF)와 전단벽이 한쪽 외부골조에 치우쳐 비틀림이 발생하는 형태(ESW)의 실험체에 대해 해석연구를 수행하였다. 철근과 콘크리트의 응력-변형률관계를 정의한 후 이를 단면에 이식시킨 섬유모델을 통해 비선형거동을 나타내도록 하였으며, 벽체는 MVLEM모델을 이용하였다. 해석결과 본 논문에서 제시한 비선형 모델은 필로티층의 거동(예를 들면 필로티층의 항복강도와 강성 상부구조물의 흔들림, 거동, 그리고 축력의 변화에 따른 축강성과 전단강성의 변화)을 비교적 정확하게 묘사하였다. 그러나 MVLEM으로 벽체의 비선형거동을 구성한 결과 거시거동은 실제 모델을 잘 따랐으나, 비틀림이 주된 진동주기일 때 발생하는 벽체 횡강성의 급격한 증가와 Warping현상으로 인해 코너기둥에 발생하는 과도한 인장력은 제대로 반영하지 못하였다. 비선형 해석으로 설계부재력을 구할 경우 실제보다 약 $20{\sim}30%$ 작게 나타났는데, 이는 실험과 해석방법의 차이때문에 발생한 것으로 보이며, 비선형 거동이 과도하게 발생한 수준의 지진에 대해서는 필로티형 건물의 거동특성을 충실히 나타내었다.

This study strives to highlight the importance of considering the vertical ground motions (VGM) in the seismic evaluation of RC buildings. To this aim, IDA (Incremental Dynamic Analysis) is conducted on three code-based designed high-rise RC frame-core wall buildings using a suite of earthquake records comprising of significant VGMs. To unravel the significance of the VGM inclusion on the performance of the buildings, IDAs are conducted in two states (with and without the vertical component), and subsequently based on each analysis, fragility curves are developed. Non-simulated collapse criteria are used to determine the collapse state drift ratio and the area under the velocity spectrum (SIm) is taken into account as the intensity measure. The outcome of this study delineates that the inclusion of VGM leads to the increase in the collapse vulnerability of the structures as well as to the change in the pattern of inter-story drifts and failure mode of the buildings. The results suggested that it would be more conservative if the VGM is included in the seismic assessment and the fragility analysis of RC buildings.

Reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames are used as lateral seismic load resisting systems in mid- and high-rise buildings in different regions of the world. Based on the seismic design provisions and construction details presented in design codes, RC frames with different levels of ductility (ordinary, intermediate, and special) can be designed and constructed. In Iran, there are RC buildings with various uses which have been constructed based on different editions of design codes. The seismic performance of RC structures (particularly moment frames) in real seismic events is of great importance. In this paper, the observations made on damaged RC moment frames after the destructive Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.3 are reported. Different levels of damage from the development of cracks in the structural and non-structural elements to the total collapse of buildings were observed. Furthermore, undesirable failure modes which are not expected in ductile seismic-resistant buildings were frequently observed in the damaged buildings. The RC moment frames built based on the previous editions of the design codes showed partial or total collapse in this seismic event. The extensive destruction of RC moment frames compared with the other structural systems (such as braced steel frames and confined masonry buildings) was attributed not only to the deficiencies in the construction practice of these buildings but also to the design procedure. In addition, the failure and collapse of masonry infills in RC moment frames were frequent modes of failure in this seismic event. In this paper, the main reasons related to design practice which led to extensive damage in the RC moment frames and their collapse are addressed.
