An optimal design method in cooperated with nonlinear inelastic analysis is presented. The proposed nonlinear inelastic method overcomes the difficulties due to incompatibility between the elastic global analysis and the limit state member design in the conventional LRFD method. The genetic algorithm used is a procedure based on Darwinian notions of survival of the fittest, where selection, crossover, and mutation operators are used to look for high performance ones among sections in the database. They are satisfied with the constraint functions and give the lightest weight to the structure. The objective function taken is the total weight of the steel structure and the constraint functions are load-carrying capacity, serviceability, and ductility requirement. Case studies of a planar portal frame, a space two-story frame, and a three-dimensional steel arch bridge are presented.

본 연구에서는 선행 연구에서 개발된 강구조물에 대한 직접비탄성설계 방법을 설계실무의 활용성을 확대할 수 있도록 개선하였다. 그룹부재에 대한 설계, 불연속적인 단면 성능, 축력에 따른 휨재하능력의 변화, 접합방식에 따른 거동특성, 다중하중조건 및 성능기준 등 강구조물 설계실무의 제한조건을 고려하여 비탄성설계를 수행할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 방법의 해석 및 설계절차를 정립하였고, 이를 적용한 컴퓨터 해석/설계 프로그램을 개발하였다. 전통적인 탄성설계와 제안된 직접비탄성설계법을 사용한 설계결과를 비교하였으며, 기존의 비선형해석프로그램을 이용하여 설계결과를 검증하였다. 비탄성 변형을 고려할 수 있는 제안된 설계법은 전통적인 탄성해석을 사용한 한계상태설계에 비하여 강재량을 절감하고, 구조물의 변형능력을 향상하였다. 제안된 설계방법은 비탄성 거동을 구조물의 설계에 직접 반영할 수 있으므로 설계에 편리하고 각 소성힌지의 변형을 제어함으로써 구조안전성을 확보하고 동시에 변형능력을 최대로 활용하는 설계를 수행할 수 있다.

One of the methods improving the seismic behavior of a structure is the frame with reduced beam section (RBS) which cuts a segment of flanges of the beam near the beam-to-column connection so that the section with reduced flanges has smaller flexural strength than the beam end. It is difficult to analyze the RBS frame because RBS portion has circular-cut type flange. And inelastic response of the steel frame with the RBS is very sensitive to the RBS model. In this paper, the analytical models of RBS portion are investigated and the results of the inelastic analysis for RBS analytical models are compared and then the analytical model for RBS is determined based on the results of inelastic analysis. Inelastic behavior of the RBS frame and its dynamic characteristics are investigated for selected analytical model of RBS.

본 연구소에서는 할선강성을 사용하여 비탄성 해석 및 설계를 수행하는 새로운 설계방법을 개발하였다. 개발한 설계법은 선형해석을 수행하므로 수치해석이 안정성과 용이성을 갖추고 있으며, 동시에 반복계산으로 구조물의 비탄성 거동을 해석하므로 각 부재의 비탄성 강도 및 연성 요구량을 정확히 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 설계법의 절차를 성립하였고, 이를 고려한 컴퓨터 해석/설계 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한, 제안된 설계법을 사용한 설계예제를 제시하였으며, 기존의 탄성 및 소성설계법과의 비교를 통하여 그 우수성을 입증하였다. 기존의 비선형설계방법은 일반적으로 초기 설계를 수행하고 비선형해석을 이용하여 초기설계안을 검증하는데 비하여, 제안된 방법은 반복계산을 통하여 비탄성해석과 설계를 동시에 수행하므로 각 부재의 비탄성 강도 및 연성 요구량을 직접적으로 계산할 수 있다. 또한 설계자의 의도에 따라 부재 강도 및 연성능력의 제한, 강기둥-약보 등의 비선형 설계전략을 효과적으로 구현하므로, 경제적이고 안전한 설계가 가능하다.

This study presents an improved method that uses the elastic and inelastic system buckling analyses for determining the K-factors of steel column members. The inelastic system buckling analysis is based on the tangent modulus theory for a single column and the application is extended to the frame structural system. The tangent modulus of an inelastic column is first derived as a function of nominal compressive stress from the column strength curve given in the design codes. The tangential stiffness matrix of a beam-column element is then formulated by using the so-called stability function or Hermitian interpolation functions. Two inelastic system buckling analysis procedures are newly proposed by utilizing nonlinear eigenvalue analysis algorithms. Finally, a practical method for determining the K-factors of individual members in a steel frame structure is proposed based on the inelastic and/or elastic system buckling analyses. The K-factors according to the proposed procedure are calculated for numerical examples and compared with other results in available references.

When eccentrically braced steel frames (EBFs) are in the desired failure mode, links yield at each layer and column bases appear plastically hinged. Traditional design methods cannot accurately predict the inelastic behavior of structures owing to the use of capacity-based design theory. This paper proposes the use of performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method for planning eccentrically braced frames. PBSD can predict and control inelastic deformation of structures by target drift and failure mode. In buildings designed via this process, all links dissipate energy in the rare event of an earthquake, while other members remain in elastic state, and as the story drift is uniform along the structure height, weak layers will be avoided. In this condition, eccentrically braced frames may be more easily rehabilitated after the effects of an earthquake. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through a sample case study of ten-story K-type EBFs and Y- type EBFs buildings, and is validated by pushover analysis and dynamic analysis. The ultimate state of frames designed by the proposed method will fail in the desired failure mode. That is, inelastic deformation of structure mainly occurs in links; each layer of links involved dissipates energy, and weak layers do not exist in the structure. The PBSD method can provide a reference for structural design of eccentrically braced steel frames.

하중저항계수설계법(LRFD)은 종래 설계법의 결점을 개선한 설계법임에도 불구하고 구조계와 개별부재간에 강도와 안정에 대한 상호작용을 정확하게 고려하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 전체 구조물의 비선형비탄성해석을 수행하여야 한다. 현재 여러 선진국의 설계기준에서는 구조물의 거동과 강도를 합리적으로 예측하기 위하여 비선형비탄성해석을 사용할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구조시스템의 내하력을 정확히 파악할 수 있는 실용적인 비선형비탄성해석법을 이용한 LRFD 설계법을 제안하였다. 실무에 사용하기 위한 설계 형식, 모델링 시 고려사항 및 설계 시 고려사항에 대하여 기술하였다. 또한 제안된 방법을 사용하여 다양한 예제설계를 수행하였고 AISC-LRFD의 선형탄성해석을 이용한 설계결과와 소요 물량을 비교함으로서 그 경제성과 타당성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 제안된 LRFD설계법은 기존의 LRFD에 비해 구조물의 종류에 따라 최대 24%의 강재 절감효과를 얻을 수 있는 경제적인 설계방법임을 입증하였다.

Inelastic model of Second Jindo Bridge is investigated to perform nonlinear dynamic analyses with various earthquake ground motions. The modal analysis is performed to obtain dynamic characteristics of the bridge and verify the model. It proves that the model has an appropriate dynamic characteristic and its natural frequency is relatively low. Four ground motions are chosen for time history dynamic analyses; El Centro, Kobe, Taft, and Mexico earthquake. Each ground motion multiplied by specified factors to investigate damages of the structure. The analyses prove that responses of the bridge depend on the duration time and the frequency characteristics of ground motion, not only peak acceleration. Static push-over analysis of steel pylon shows that the dynamic analysis over-estimates the seismic behavior of steel pylon definitely. Nonlinear spring hinge model is suggest to improve the shortage of the inelastic model could not deliberate local buckling damage. According to the time history analysis of nonlinear spring hinge model, it is proved that the inelastic beam element analysis overestimate the seismic capacity of steel pylon unquestionably with a large amount of errors.

It is important to evaluate energy absorption capacity of frames required during a design earthquake. An inelastic computer analysis based on mathematical modelling of energy absorbing frames and elements makes it possible to evaluate required energy absorption capacity. But such an analysis sometimes consumes much computation time particularly in case of complicated structural system. This paper presents a proposal to predict energy absorption of multi-bent steel frames by simple equivalent linear method.
