본 연구에서는 근거리지진의 일반적인 특성에 대해 고찰한 후, 탄성응답스펙트럼이 제공하지 못하는 구조물의 비탄성거동에 따른 응답을 연성도 및 항복강도계수의 변화를 이용하여 평가하기 위해 비탄성응답스펙트럼을 작성하였다. 근거리지진의 특성을 가장 잘 반영할 수 있는 장주기의 대상 구조물을 선정하여 탄성 및 비탄성시간이력해석을 수행하였으며, 입력지진동에 대한 응답 분포 양상을 검토하였다. 또한 구조물의 비탄성거동을 명확하게 파악할 수 있도록 소성힌지 발생여부를 검토하여 구조물의 응답특성을 비교 분석하였다.

This paper investigates the influence of spatial varations of accidental mass eccentricities on the torsional response of inelastic multistorey reinforced concrete buildings. It complements recent studies on the elastic response of structural buildings and extends the investigation into the inelastic range, with the aim of providing guidelines for minimising the torsional response of structural buildings. Four spatial mass eccentricity configurations of common nine story buildings, along with their reversed mass eccentricities subjected to the Erzincan-1992 and Kobe-1995 ground motions were investigated, and the results are discussed in the context of the structural response of the no eccentricity models. It is demonstrated that when the initial linear response is practically translational, it is maintained into the inelastic phase of deformation as long as the strength assignment of the lateral resisting bents is based on a planar static analysis where the applied lateral loads simulate the first mode of vibration of the uncoupled structure.

실제 구조요소나 구조시스템의 비선형응답은 단순화된 형태의 분할선형 이력모델 보다는 완만한 곡선이력모델로 나타내는 것이 보다 정확하다. 본 논문에서는 완만한 곡선이력거동을 적용한 일정연성도 비탄성 응답스펙트럼을 작성하는 방법을 제시하였다. 가속도, 변위 및 입력에너지에 대한 비탄성 응답스펙트럼에 대한 곡선형이력거동의 완만한 정도의 영향을 평가하였다. 해석결과로부터 곡선형이력거동의 완만도가 증가할수록 비탄성 응답스펙트럼은 감소하는 경향을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the effect of flexibility of superstructures and nonlinear characteristics of LRB (Lead Rubber Bearing) isolator on inelastic response of base isolated structures is investigated. To demonstrate the intensity of damage in superstructures, demand response modification factor without the consideration of damping reduction factor, demand RI, is used and the N2 method is applied to compute this factor. To evaluate the influence of superstructure flexibility on inelastic response of base isolated structures, different steel intermediate moment resisting frames with different heights have been investigated. In lead rubber bearing, the rubber provides flexibility and the lead is the source of damping; variations of aforementioned characteristics are also investigated on inelastic response of superstructures. It is observed that an increase in height of superstructure leads to higher value of demand RI till 4-story frame but afterward this factor remains constant; in other words, an increase in height until 4-story frame causes more damage in the superstructure but after that superstructure's damage is equal to the 4-story frame's. The results demonstrate that the low value of second stiffness (rubber stiffness in LRBs) tends to show a significant decrease in demand RI. Increase in value of characteristic strength (yield strength of the lead in LRBs) leads to decrease in the demand RI.

The design response spectrum has been widely used in seismic design to estimate force and deformation demands of structures imposed by Earthquake Ground Motion (EQGM). Inelastic Design Response Spectra (IDRS) to specify design yielding strength in seismic codes are obtained by reducing the ordinates of Linear Elastic Design Response Spectrum (LEDRS) by strength reduction factor (R). Since a building is designed using reduced design spectrum (IDRS) rather than LEDRS in current seismic design procedures it allows structures behave inelastically during design level EQGM. Inelastic Response Spectra (IRS) depend not only on the characteristics of the expected ground motion at a given site, but also on the dynamic properties and nonlinear characteristics of a structure. However, it has not been explicitly investigated the effect of different hysteretic models on IRS. In this study, the effect of hysteretic models on IRS is investigated.

비탄성 변위비는 최대 선형 탄성변위에 대한 최대 비탄성 변위의 비로서 정의된다. 비탄성 변위비는 비탄성 응답의 계산을 하지 않고도 최대 탄성변위로부터 최대 비탄성변위를 직접적으로 평가 가능하게 한다. 비탄성 변위비에 대한 기존의 연구는 이선형 또는 강성저하시스템과 같은 분할선형시스템에 국한되었다. 본 논문에서는 근거리 및 원거리 지진을 받는 완만한 곡선형 이력거동 시스템의 비탄성 변위비에 대하여 연구하였다. 두 단계의 회귀분석 과정을 통하여 비탄성 변위비에 대한 간편식을 제안하였다.

To evaluate inelastic seismic responses of multi-span bridge structures, the capacity spectrum method(CSM) incorporating the equivalent single-degree-of freedom(ESDOF) method is presented. Application of the CSM incorporating the ESDOF method is illustrated by example analysis for symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures. To investigate an accuracy of the CSM, the maximum displacements estimated by the CSM are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the CSM provided conservative estimates of the maximum displacements for the symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures, and the trend of conservative estimates of the asymmetric bridge structures was significantly larger than that of the symmetric bridge structure.

Methods for the seismic demands evaluation of structures require iterative procedures. Many studies dealt with the development of different inelastic spectra with the aim to simplify the evaluation of inelastic deformations and performance of structures. Recently, the concept of inelastic spectra has been adopted in the global scheme of the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) through Capacity-Spectrum Method (CSM). For instance, the Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) has been proved to provide accurate results for inelastic buildings to a similar degree of accuracy than the Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) in estimating peak response for elastic buildings. In this paper, a simplified nonlinear procedure for evaluation of the seismic demand of structures is proposed with its applicability to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. The basic concept is to write the equation of motion of (MDOF) system into series of normal modes based on an inelastic modal decomposition in terms of ductility factor. The accuracy of the proposed procedure is verified against the Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NL-THA) results and Uncoupled Modal Response History Analysis (UMRHA) of a 9-story steel building subjected to El-Centro 1940 (N/S) as a first application. The comparison shows that the new theoretical approach is capable to provide accurate peak response with those obtained when using the NL-THA analysis. After that, a simplified nonlinear spectral analysis is proposed and illustrated by examples in order to describe inelastic response spectra and to relate it to the capacity curve (Pushover curve) by a new parameter of control, called normalized yield strength coefficient (${\eta}$). In the second application, the proposed procedure is verified against the NL-THA analysis results of two buildings for 80 selected real ground motions.

Using fluid dampers to connect adjacent buildings for enhancing their seismic resistant performance has been recently investigated but limited to linear elastic adjacent buildings only. This paper presents a study of inelastic seismic response of adjacent buildings linked by fluid dampers. A nonlinear finite element planar model using plastic beam element is first constructed to simulate two steel frames connected by fluid dampers. Computed linear elastic seismic responses of the two steel frames with and without fluid dampers under moderate seismic events are then compared with the experimental results obtained from shaking table tests. Finally, elastic-plastic seismic responses of the two steel frames with and without fluid dampers are extensively computed, and the fluid damper performance on controlling inelastic seismic response of the two steel frames is assessed. The effects of the fundamental frequency ratio and structural damping ratio of the two steel frames on the damper performance are also examined. The results show that not only in linear elastic stage but also in inelastic stage, the seismic resistant performance of the two steel frames of different fundamental frequencies can be significantly enhanced if they are properly linked by fluid dampers of appropriate parameters.

Acceleration time history (ATH) used in the seismic analysis should envelop a target power spectral density (PSD) function in addition to the design response spectrum in order to have sufficient energy at each frequency for the purpose of ensuring adequate load. Even though design regulations require the ATH used in seismic analysis to meet a target PSD function, the reason that ATHs meet to a target PSD function is not described. Thus, artificial ATHs for high PSD function and artificial ATHs for low PSD function are generated. And then elastic and inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems are loaded with these artificial time histories as the earthquake load. As a result, linear response and inelastic response of SDOF systems are affected by PSD function.
