Nibellen structural system is a novel resilient bracing system based on the application of Bellville disks and Nitinol rods. The cyclic behavior of Nibellen assembly was obtained, and the design equations were developed based on the available literature. Seismic performance of the system was then studied analytically. Two groups of buildings with different lateral force resisting systems were designed and studied: one group with the Nibellen system, and the other with the special concentrically braced frame system. Each building group consisted of 5-, 10-, and 15-story buildings. The Design-Base-Event (DBE) and Maximum Considered Event (MCE) were considered as the seismic hazard, and a suite of seven ground motions were scaled accordingly for response history analyses. Finally, the resiliency of the buildings was studied by obtaining the functionality curve of the buildings before and after the seismic event. The construction cost of the 5-story building with Nibellen bracing system increased but the post-earthquake cost decreased significantly. The application of Nibellen system in the 10- and 15-story buildings reduced both the construction and repair costs, considerably. Resiliency of all the buildings was improved when Nibellen system was used as the lateral force resisting system.

RC 플랫 플레이트 골조는 중력저항 시스템으로 설계하고, 횡력저항 시스템인 전단벽이나 모멘트 골조를 같이 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 지진하중과 같은 횡하중은 횡력저항 시스템의 변형을 일으키며 일체로 연결된 중력저항 시스템도 예상치 않았던 횡변위가 발생하여, 접합부에서 큰 불균형 모멘트가 발행하게 된다. 따라서 횡하중에 의해 유발된 불균형모멘트의 고려가 필요하며, �躍꼭患� 파괴를 정확하게 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 RC 플랫 플레이트 골조의 내진성능평가를 위하여 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 비선형 거동을 예측하기 위한 해석모델을 개발하였다. 해석모델의 검증을 위하여 중력전단비가 다른 2개의 2경간 플랫 플레이트 구조물의 실험결과와 해석모델의 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 개발된 해석모델은 실험체의 뚤림전단파괴 및 파괴모드를 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 횡력저항시스템별로 프로토타입 모델을 선정하고 지진지역과 비정형성에 따른 내진성능 영향력을 검토하였다. 프로토타입 모델은 다이아그리드 시스템과 브레이스튜브 시스템 그리고 아웃리거 시스템을 선정하였다. 또한 각 횡력저항시스템별 평면 비틀림 각도를 $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$($1.5^{\circ}$), $2^{\circ}$($3^{\circ}$) 씩 변화하여 내진성능을 검토하였다. 지진지역은 강진지역(LA), 약진지역(Boston)을 선정하였다. 선형응답해석은 프로토타입 모델의 풍변위, 고유주기를 검토하였다. Non-Linear Response History(NLRH) 해석에서는 밑면전단력, 층간변위비를 검토하였다. 검토결과 다이아그리드 시스템과 브레이스튜브 시스템 그리고 아웃리거 시스템 모두 평면 비틀림 각도가 증가할수록 건물 전체의 강성이 줄어들었다. 또한 평면 비틀림 각도가 증가할수록 풍변위와 고유주기 결과가 증가하고 건물 전체의 강성이 줄어들어 밑면전단력이 감소하였다. 끝으로, NLRH 해석 결과 강진과 약진지역 모두 Tall Building Initiative(TBI)의 Maximum Considered Earthquake(MCE)수준의 층간변위비 제한값 0.045를 만족하여 허용범위내의 내진성능을 만족하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Structural walls (also known as shear walls) are one of the common lateral load resisting elements in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in seismic regions. The performance of RC structural walls in recent earthquakes has exposed some problems with the existing design of RC structural walls. The main issues lie around the buckling of bars, out-of plane deformation of the wall (especially the zone deteriorated in compression), reinforcement getting snapped beneath a solitary thin crack etc. This study compares performance of a typical wall designed by different standards. For this purpose, a case study RC shear wall is taken from the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Christchurch which was designed according to the 1982 version of the New Zealand concrete structures standard (NZS3101:1982). The wall is redesigned in this study to comply with the detailing requirements of three standards; ACI-318-11, NZS3101:2006 and Eurocode 8 in such a way that they provide the same flexural and shear capacity. Based on section analysis and pushover analysis, nonlinear responses of the walls are compared in terms of their lateral load capacity and curvature as well as displacement ductilities, and the effect of the code limitations on nonlinear responses of the different walls are evaluated. A parametric study is also carried out to further investigate the effect of confinement length and axial load ratio on the lateral response of shear walls.

ACI 318(1999) 규준에서는 모멘트골조를 특수모멘트골조, 중간모멘트골조, 보통모멘트골조의 3가지로 구분하고 있다. 이중 중 약 지진 지역에서는 대부분의 구조물이 보통모멘트골조로 설계되고 있다. 이러한 보통모멘트골조는 현행 규준에서 가장 엄격하지 않은 상세와 요구사항이 적용되는 골조 형식이다 본 연구는 중력하중으로만 설계되고 ACI 318(1999) 기준의 보통모멘트골조의 상세만을 가지는 3층의 사무소 건물의 내진 성능 평가를 그 목표로 한다 실험적 연구를 위하여 1/3 축소 모델을 제작하여 준정적 실험을 실시하였다. 보통모멘트골조의 전체적인 거동은 갑작스러운 강도의 저감 없이 안정적인 거동을 하였다 실험결과, 중력하중으로만 설계된 3층의 사무소건물은 UBC 1997 규준의 지진 지역 1, 2A, 2B에서의 요구하는 설계 밑면전단력보다 더 큰 횡력 저항 능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this article the seismic demand and performance of two recent braced steel frames named steel moment frames with the elliptic bracing (ELBRFs) are assessed through a laboratory program and numerical analyses of FEM. Here, one of the specimens is without connecting bracket from the corner of the frame to the elliptic brace (ELBRF-E), while the other is with the connecting brackets (ELBRF-B). In both the elliptic braced moment resisting frames (ELBRFs), in addition to not having any opening space problem in the bracing systems when installed in the surrounding frames, they improve structure's behavior. The experimental test is run on ½ scale single-story single-bay ELBRF specimens under cyclic quasi-static loading and compared with X-bracing and SMRF systems in one story base model. This system is of appropriate stiffness and a high ductility, with an increased response modification factor. Moreover, its energy dissipation is high. In the ELBRF bracing systems, there exists a great interval between relative deformation at the yield point and maximum relative deformation after entering the plastic region. In other words, the distance from the first plastic hinge to the collapse of the structure is fairly large. The experimental outcomes here, are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

A formula to estimate the yield displacement observed in the pushover analysis of coupled wall lateral force-resisting systems is presented. The estimate is based on the results of an analytical study of coupled walls ranging from 8 to 20 stories in height, with varied amounts of reinforcement in the reinforced concrete coupling beams and walls, subjected to first-mode pushover analysis. An example illustrates the application of these estimates to the performance-based seismic design of coupled walls.

This paper is to investigate the retrofitting effect for a non-seismic reinforced concrete frame strengthened by perimeter steel moment frames with indirect integrity, which ameliorates the problems of the direct integrity method. To achieve this, first, full-scale tests were conducted to address the structural behavior of a two-story non-seismic reinforced concrete frame and a strengthened frame. The non-seismic frame showed a maximum strength of 185 kN because the flexural-shear failure at the bottom end of columns on the first floor was governed, and shear cracks were concentrated at the beam-column joints on the second floor. The strengthened frame possessed a maximum strength of 338 kN, which is more than 1.8 times that of the non-seismic specimen. A considerable decrease in the quantity of cracks for the strengthened frame was observed compared with the non-seismic frame, while there was the obvious appearance of the failure pattern due to the shear crack. The lateral-resisting capacity for the non-seismic bare frame and the strengthened frame may be determined per the specified shear strength of the reinforced columns in accordance with the distance to a critical section. The effective depth of the column may be referred to as the longitudinal length from the border between the column and the foundation. The lateral-resisting capacity for the non-seismic bare frame and the strengthened frame may be reasonably determined per the specified shear strength of the reinforced columns in accordance with the distance to a critical section. The effective depth of the column may be referred to as the longitudinal length from the border between the column and the foundation. The proposed method had an error of about 2.2% for the non-seismic details and about 4.4% for the strengthened frame based on the closed results versus the experimental results.

Background: Fibers have been used in cement mixture to improve its toughness, ductility, and tensile strength, and to enhance the cracking and deformation characteristics of concrete structural members. The addition of fibers into conventional reinforced concrete can enhance the structural and functional performances of safety-related concrete structures in nuclear power plants. Methods: The effects of steel and polyamide fibers on the shear resisting capacity of a prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) were investigated in this study. For a comparative evaluation between the shear performances of structural walls constructed with conventional concrete, steel fiber reinforced concrete, and polyamide fiber reinforced concrete, cyclic tests for wall specimens were conducted and hysteretic models were derived. Results: The shear resisting capacity of a PCCV constructed with fiber reinforced concrete can be improved considerably. When steel fiber reinforced concrete contains hooked steel fibers in a volume fraction of 1.0%, the maximum lateral displacement of a PCCV can be improved by > 50%, in comparison with that of a conventional PCCV. When polyamide fiber reinforced concrete contains polyamide fibers in a volume fraction of 1.5%, the maximum lateral displacement of a PCCV can be enhanced by ~40%. In particular, the energy dissipation capacity in a fiber reinforced PCCV can be enhanced by > 200%. Conclusion: The addition of fibers into conventional concrete increases the ductility and energy dissipation of wall structures significantly. Fibers can be effectively used to improve the structural performance of a PCCV subjected to strong ground motions. Steel fibers are more effective in enhancing the shear performance of a PCCV than polyamide fibers.
