In this study, inelastic displacement ratios are investigated for existing systems with known lateral strength considering soil structure interaction. For this purpose, SDOF systems for period range of 0.1-3.0 s with different hysteretic behaviors are considered for a number of 18 earthquake motions recorded on soft soil. The effect of stiffness degradation on inelastic displacement ratios is investigated. The Modified Clough model is used to represent structures that exhibit significant stiffness degradation when subjected to reverse cyclic loading and the elastoplastic model is used to represent non-degrading structures. Soil structure interaction analyses are conducted by means of equivalent fixed base model effective period, effective damping and effective ductility values differing from fixed-base case. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark method for step by step time integration was adapted in an in-house computer program. A new equation is proposed for inelastic displacement ratio of system with SSI with elastoplastic or degrading behavior as a function of structural period ($\tilde{T}$), strength reduction factor (R) and period lengthening ratio ($\tilde{T}$/T). The proposed equation for $\tilde{C}_R$ which takes the soil-structure interaction into account should be useful in estimating the inelastic deformation of existing structures with known lateral strength.

The stability and integrity of precast large panel structures are analyzed with nonlinear mathematical model considering the inelastic properties of horizontal joints. In this research, an analysis for cyclic loading test was carried out by the macro model that idealized the horizontal joints as inelastic-nonlinear spring systems. As a results, the strain hardening ratio of shear slip element was estimated as about 0.05%- 0.2% of initial shear stiffness. And under lateral load, the rocking motion due ti overturning moment was dominant rather than shear slip motion in the behavior of precast structures.

주기하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 벽체는 형상비, 배근상세, 재하 조건 등에 따라 복잡한 비탄성 거동을 보인다. 이 연구에서는 벽체의 휨-압축 거동과 전단거동을 간편하게 고려할 수 있는 거시 요소를 이용한 비선형 해석 방법을 개발하였다. 철근콘크리트 벽체의 휨-압축 거동 및 전단거동은 각각 길이 방향 및 대각 방향 1축 요소로 이상화된다. 1축 요소는 콘크리트와 철근으로 구성되고, 비선형 재료 모델로서 1축 상태에서 반복하중을 받는 콘크리트와 철근의 주기거동 모델을 사용한다. 검증을 위하여 제안된 방법을 사용하여 주기하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 단일벽 및 병렬벽의 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법은 휨-압축 거동이 지배적인 세장한 벽체와 전단거동이 지배적인 낮은 벽체의 주기거동을 정확하게 예측하였다. 제안된 거시 해석 모델은 모델링이 편리하고 수치해석의 안정성이 우수하므로, 전단벽 및 코어벽이 사용된 건물의 비선형 해석을 위한 범용 프로그램으로 개발이 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a numerical model for simulating the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls subject to cyclic loadings. The material behavior of cracked concrete is described by an orthotropic constitutive relation with tension-stiffening and compression softening effects defining equivalent uniaxial stress-strain relation in the axes of orthotropy. Especially in making analytical predictions for inelastic behaviors of RC walls under reversed cyclic loading, some influencing factors inducing the material nonlinearities have been considered. A simple hysteretic stress-strain relation of concrete, which crosses the tension-compression region, is defined. Modification of the hysteretic stress-strain relation of steel is also introduced to reflect a pinching effect depending on the shear span ratio and to represent an average stress distribution in a cracked RC element, respectively. To assess the applicability of the constitutive model for RC element, analytical results are compared with idealized shear panel and shear wall test results under monotonic and cyclic shear loadings.

A beam-column fiber element for the large displacement, nonlinear inelastic analysis of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes (CFT) is implemented. The method of description is Total Lagrangian formulation. An 8 degree of freedom (DOF) element with three nodes, which has 3 DOF per end node and 2 DOF on the middle node, has been chosen. The quadratic Lagrangian shape functions for axial deformation and the quartic Hermitian shape function for the transverse deformation are used. It is assumed that the perfect bond is maintained between steel shell and concrete core. The constitutive models employed for concrete and steel are based on the results of a recent study and include the confinement and biaxial effects. The model is implemented to analyze several CFT columns under constant and non-proportional fluctuating concentric axial load and cyclic lateral load. Good agreement has been found between experimental results and theoretical analysis.

The purpose of this paper to describe an analytical model that is capable of reproducing the hysteretic behavior of beam-column joints under cyclic loading and to suggest the variable of hysteretic model for the inelastic analysis of R/C frame structures to do this quasi-static analysis using IDARC program was performed for the beam-column joints. The effort to obtain the result of analysis similar to those of experiment was made by determining the value for hysteretic parameters representing stiffness degradation, strength deterioration and pinching effect. The accuracy and reliability of the proposed analytical model was demonstrated by comparison of load-displacement relation, maximum strength, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation.

In this paper, seismic energy response of inelastic steel structures under earthquake excitations is investigated. For this purpose, a numerical procedure based on nonlinear dynamic analysis is developed by considering material, geometric and connection nonlinearities. Material nonlinearity is modeled by the inversion of Ramberg-Osgood equation. Nonlinearity caused by the interaction between the axial force and bending moment is also defined considering stability functions, while the geometric nonlinearity caused by axial forces is described using geometric stiffness matrix. Cyclic behaviour of steel connections is taken into account by employing independent hardening model. Dynamic equation of motion is solved by Newmark's constant acceleration method in the time history domain. Energy response analysis of space frames is performed by using this proposed numerical method. Finally, for the first time, the distribution of the different energy types versus time at the duration of the earthquake ground motion is obtained where in addition error analysis for the numerical solutions is carried out and plotted depending on the relative error calculated as a function of energy balance versus time.

유연도법 섬유요소모델을 통하여 반복하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 교각의 비탄성 이력 거동을 추적하고 직접적인 방법에 의해 변위연성도 평가를 수행하였다. 철근 콘크리트 교각의 극한상태까지의 비탄성 거동을 합리적으로 추적하기 위해 인장강성거동, 기둥-기초면의 불연속 변위 등을 고려하여 철근과 콘크리트의 평균응력-평균변형률 관계, 접촉면요소 등을 실험과 잘 일치하는 기존의 해석 모델을 수정, 적용하였다. 또한 수치해석시 간편하게 적용할 수 있는 직접적인 방법에 의하여 교각의 연성능력을 평가하였으며, 항복변위 및 극한변위의 산출에 영향을 미치는 적분점의 위치, 콘크리트 압쇄 후 강루 철근의 low-cycle fatigue에 의한 파단 시점 등에 대하여 유연도법 섬유요소모델에 적용할 수 있는 값들을 제시하였다. 해석에 의한 변위연성도는 10%이내의 오차를 보이므로, 적용한 해석기법 및 모델에 의한 항복변위 및 극한변위의 평가는 타당하다고 할 수 있다.

Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) behavior of heat resistant austenitic stainless steel was evaluated in the temperature range from 100$^{\circ}C$ to peak temperatures of 600 to 800$^{\circ}C$; The fatigue lives under TMF conditions were plotted against the plastic strain range and the dissipated energy per cycle. In the expression of the inelastic strain range versus fatigue life, the TMF data obtained at different temperature ranges were located close to a single line with a small deviation; however, when the dissipated energy per cycle, calculated from the area of the stress-strain hysteresis loops at the half of the fatigue life, was plotted against the fatigue life, the data showed greater scattering than the TMF life against the inelastic strain range. A noticeable stress relaxation in the stress-strain hysteresis curve took place at the peak temperatures higher than 700$^{\circ}C$, but all specimens in this study exhibited cyclic hardening behavior with TMF cycles. Recrystallization occurred during the TMF cycle concurrent with the formation of fine subgrains in the recrystallized region, which is considered to cause the cyclic hardening of the steel.

The flexural behaviour of symmetrically reinforced concrete (RC) columns cast of normal- and high-strength concrete under both monotonic and cyclic loading is studied based on an analytical procedure, which employs the actual stress-strain curves and takes into account the stress-path dependence of concrete and steel reinforcement. The analysis is particularly extended into the post-peak stage with large inelastic deformation at various applied axial load level. The effect of axial load on their complete flexural behaviour is then identified based on the results obtained. The axial load is found to have fairly large effect on the flexural behaviour of RC columns under both monotonic and cyclic loading. Such effects are discussed through examination of various aspects including the moment-curvature relationship, moment capacity, flexural ductility, variation of neutral axis depth and steel stress.
