Past earthquakes have shown that appropriately designed and detailed buildings with shear walls have great performance such a way that a considerable portion of inelastic energy dissipation occurs in these structural elements. A plastic hinge is fundamentally an energy diminishing means which decrease seismic input energy through the inelastic deformation. Plastic hinge development in a RC shear wall in the areas which have plastic behavior depends on the ground motions characteristics as well as shear wall details. One of the most generally used forms of structural walls is flanged RC wall. Because of the flanges, these types of shear walls have large in-plane and out-of-plane stiffness and develop high shear stresses. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the main characteristics of these structural components and provide a more comprehensive expression of plastic hinge length in the application of performance-based seismic design method and promote the development of seismic design codes for shear walls. In this regard, the effects of axial load level, wall height, wall web and flange length, as well as various features of earthquakes, are examined numerically by finite element methods and the outcomes are compared with consistent experimental data. Based on the results, a new expression is developed which can be utilized to determine the length of plastic hinge area in the flanged RC shear walls.

본 연구에서는 수직구의 동적 거동특성 분석을 위하여 지반조건, 입력하중 특성, 하중 방향 등의 주요 인자를 고려하여 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과로, 다층지반에 시공된 수직구는 하부 단단한 지층이 두꺼울수록 전단력과 휨모멘트가 최대 1.7배 크게 발생되며, 지층이 변화하는 경계면에서 가장 큰 단면력이 발생된다. 또한 입력하중의 주기 특성에 따라 수직구 동적거동은 서로 다르며, 수직구와 주변지반에서의 가속도 증폭 비율은 주변지반에서 최대 3배 이상 크게 나타났다.

In energy-based design, the structures are generally transformed into equivalent SDOF systems to obtain the input and the dissipated energy. In this study the energy demands in multi-story structures were compared with that of equivalent single degree of freedom systems to validate the transformation method. Three-, eight-, and twenty-story steel moment-resisting frames and buckling restrained braced frames are compared with those of equivalent single degree of freedom systems. Sixty earthquake ground motions recorded in different soil conditions were used to compute the input and hysteretic energy demands in model structures. According to the analysis results, in 3 and 8-story structures the hysteretic energy demands computed in the equivalent SDOF structures are compatible with those computed in the original MDOF structures, while in the 20-story structures the transformed equivalent structures underestimated the hysteretic energy demands.

In this study, the generalized intensity measure (IM) named I_Npg is analyzed. The recently proposed proxy of the spectral shape named N_pg is the base of this intensity measure, which is similar to the traditional N_p based on the spectral shape in terms of pseudo-acceleration; however, in this case the new generalized intensity measure can be defined through other types of spectral shapes such as those obtained with velocity, displacement, input energy, inelastic parameters and so on. It is shown that this IM is able to increase the efficiency in the prediction of nonlinear behavior of structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. For this work, the efficiency of two particular cases (based on acceleration and velocity) of the generalized I_Npg to predict the peak floor acceleration demands on steel frames under 30 earthquake ground motions with respect to the traditional spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration Sa(T₁) is compared. Additionally, a 3D reinforced concrete building and an irregular steel frame is used as a basis for comparison. It is concluded that the use of velocity and acceleration spectral shape increase the efficiency to predict peak floor accelerations in comparison with the traditional and most used around the world spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration.

Korea is part of a region of low to moderate seismicity located inside the Eurasian plate with bedrock located at depths less than 30 m. However, the spectral acceleration obtained from site response analyses based on the geologic conditions of inland areas of the Korean peninsula are significantly different from the current Korean seismic code. Therefore, suitable site classification scheme and design response spectra based on local site conditions in the Korean peninsula are required to produce reliable estimates of earthquake ground motion. In this study, site-specific response analyses were performed at more than 300 sites with at least 100 sites at each site categories of $S_C$, $S_D$, and $S_E$ as defined in the current seismic code in Korea. The process of creating a huge database of input parameters - such as shear wave velocity profiles, normalized shear modulus reduction curves, damping curves, and input earthquake motions - for site response analyses were described. The response spectra and site coefficients obtained from site response analyses were compared with those proposed for the site categories in the current code. Problems with the current seismic design code were subsequently discussed, and the development and verifications of new site classification system and corresponding design response spectra are detailed in companion papers (II-development of new site categories and design response spectra and III-Verifications)

응답스펙트럼은 내진설계에 있어서 중요한 기초자료의 하나이다. 응답스펙트럼을 얻기 위하여, 한반도에서 발생하는 지진들의 지진원 특성에 근거하여 다수의 강진동을 Boore(2005)에 의해 개발된 컴퓨터 프로그램 SMSIM을 사용하여 모사하였다. 여러 연구결과들에 대한 충분한 검토를 통하여, 모사에 필요한 입력자료들을 선정하였다. 모사된 강진동으로부터 얻은 응답스펙트럼은 가속도 1.0 g에 대하여 정규화하여 미국 원자력위원회(1973)의 표준응답스펙트럼과 비교하였다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 응답스펙트럼의 스펙트럼 진폭은 대략 10 Hz 이상의 고주파 대역에서 표준 응답스펙트럼 값에 비하여 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 응력강하량의 변화에 따른 응답스펙트럼의 변화를 평가하였다. 그 결과 큰 응력강하량에 대한 응답스펙트럼의 스펙트럼 진폭은 저주파 범위내에서 큰 값을 나타냄을 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 매설가스배관인 X65를 선택하여 매설가스배관의 형태, 매설된 지반의 특성, 단일 및 복합입력지진파 그리고 매설깊이 등을 변수로 하여 시간이력 지진응답해석을 수행하였다. 해석적으로 예측된 변형률 및 상대변위는 국내도시가스 배관의 내진설계 세부기술기준에서 제시하고 있는 허용변형률 및 허용변위역량과 비교하였다. 비교해석결과, 배관의 변형률은 매설깊이와 지반조건에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 상대변위의 경우, 축 방향 상대변위는 매설깊이에 따른 영향을 받지 않는 반면에, 횡 방향 상대변위는 매설깊이와 지반조건에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과는 향후 매설가스배관의 지진건전도 평가에 좋은 자료를 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

Bridge columns are subjected to combined actions of axial force, shear force and bending moment during earthquakes, caused by spatially-complex earthquake motions, features of structural configurations and the interaction between input and response characteristics. Combined actions can have significant effects on the force and deformation capacity of RC columns, resulting in unexpected large deformations and extensive damage that in turn influences the performance of bridges as vital components of transportation systems. This paper evaluates the seismic response of three prototype reinforced concrete bridges using comprehensive numerical models that are capable of simulating the complex soil-structural interaction effects and nonlinear behavior of columns. An analytical approach that can capture the shear-flexural interacting behavior is developed to model the realistic nonlinear behavior of RC columns, including the pinching behavior, strength deterioration and stiffness softening due to combined actions of shear force, axial force and bending moment. Seismic response analyses were conducted on the prototype bridges under suites of ground motions. Response quantities of bridges (e.g., drift, acceleration, section force and section moment etc.) are compared and evaluated to identify the effects of vertical motion, structural characteristics and the shear-flexural interaction on seismic demand of bridges.

서해안 사질토매립지반을 대상으로 지진응답해석 및 반복삼축압축시험 결과를 통하여 지진 및 예측방법에 따른 액상화특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 지수응답해석 결과, 입력지진과 지반특성에 따라 지표면에 도달하는 최대가속도의 크기가 다르게 나타남을 알았으며 간역예측법으로 해안매립지반의 액상화 평가시 적용 가능한 지진계수를 제시하였다. N치가 작고 느슨한 상부층에 대한 액상화강도는 반복삼축압축시험 결과에 비하여 Seed법에 의한 결과가 작게 나타났고 Iwasaki 방법과 S파속도 이용법은 크거나 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 또한 간역예측법들은 상세법에 비해 액상화 가능성을 과대 평가하는 경향이 있었으며 액상화 한계심도(안전율 1일때)는 입력가속도(0.1g-0.2g)에 따라 7m-14m정도로 추정되었다.
