Under strong ground motion, pounding can be caused because of the different dynamic properties between two adjacent buildings. Using different structural systems in two adjacent structures makes a difference in the lateral stiffness and thus changes the pounding force between them. In this paper, the effect of the structural system of adjacent buildings on the amount of force applied by pounding effects has been investigated. Moment resisting frame systems (MRFs), lateral X-bracing system (LBS), shear wall system (SWS) and dual system (DS) have been investigated. Four different cases has been modelled using finite element (FE) method. The number of stories of the two adjacent buildings is different in each case: case 1 with 6 and 4 stories, case 2 with 9 and 6 stories, case 3 with 15 and 6 stories and case 4 with 10 and 10 stories. The structures have been modelled three-dimensionally. Non-linear time history analysis has been done on the structures using the finite element software SAP2000. In order to model pounding effects, the non-linear gap elements have been used.

Traditional base isolation systems focus on isolating the seismic response of a structure in the horizontal direction. However, in regions where the vertical earthquake excitation is significant (such as near-fault region), a traditional base-isolated building exhibits a significant vertical vibration. To eliminate this shortcoming, a rocking-isolated system named Telescopic Column (TC) is proposed in this paper. Detailed rocking and isolation mechanism of the TC system is presented. The seismic performance of the TC is compared with the traditional elastomeric bearing (EB) and friction pendulum (FP) base-isolated systems. A 4-storey reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC-MRF) is selected as the reference superstructure. The seismic response of the reference superstructure in terms of column axial forces, base shears, floor accelerations, inter-storey drift ratios (IDR) and collapse margin ratios (CMRs) are evaluated using OpenSees. The results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis subjected to multi-directional earthquake excitations show that the superstructure equipped with the newly proposed TC is more resilient and exhibits a superior response with higher margin of safety against collapse when compared with the same superstructure with the traditional base-isolation (BI) system.

Springs are widely utilized in machine element. To find out stiffness of coil spring, the space beam theory using the finite element method is adopted in this paper. In three dimensional space, a space frame element is a straight bar of uniform cross section which is capable of resisting axial forces, bending moments about two principal axes in the plane of its cross section and twisting moment about its centroidal axis. The corresponding displacement degrees of freedom are twelve. The displacements of nodal points due to small increment of force are calculated by the finite element method and the calculated nodal displacements are added to coordinates of nodal points. The new stiffness matrix of the system using the new coordinates of nodal points is adopted to calculated the another increments of nodal displacements, that is, the step by step method is used in this paper. The results of the finite element method are fairly well agreed with those of various experiments. Using MATLAB program developed in this paper, spring constants can be predicted by input of few factors.

비선형 정적해석 및 에너지를 이용한 설계방법에서는 구조물을 등가의 단자유도계로 치환하여 해석하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중에 의한 3층, 8층, 20층 철골 모멘트저항골조(MRF), 비좌굴 가새골조(BRBF)와 힌지접합 비좌굴 가새골조 (DTBF) 구조물의 에너지 요구량을 등가 단자유도계 시스템(ESDOF)의 에너지 요구량과 비교하여 등가단자유도계로 치환하는 방법의 타당성을 검토하였다 입력에너지와 이력에너지를 산정하기 위하여 연암 지반, 연약한 토사, 단층 근처의 지반에서 계측된 60개의 지진을 사용하였으며, 모드 질량계수가 0.8보다 작은 경우 ESDOF로 변환할 때 고차모드의 효과를 고려하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 3층과 8층 MRF와 DTBF에서의 이력에너지와 입력에너지는 ESDOF의 해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 그러나 20층 BRBF에서는 ESDOF의 결과가 본 구조물의 결과를 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

After an earthquake occurred in the Gyeongju, 2016, many low-story buildings have been questioned in terms of the seismic performance since mostly they have been exempted from the seismic design requirement since 1988. In this study, a 3-story moment resisting frame (MRF) building was analyzed and evaluated the seismic performance. Due to the insufficient seismic performance required for the seismic performance levels, three different seismic retrofit schemes were proposed and their seismic performances were re-evaluated. While steel brace and open shear wall retrofit systems mainly focused on the strength retrofit, the VES damper retrofit system is mainly to enhance the energy dissipation capacity of the system and resultes in the increased ductility. The original building and 3 retrofitted buildings were evaluated using the nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analyses and suggestions were proposed. Through the analysis of nonlinear time history and push-over using MIDAS/Gen program, damages of the building in terms of top story and average story drift and effect of reinforcement were analyzed.

연쇄붕괴는 구조부재의 국부적인 파괴가 주변부재로 이어지고 이 파괴가 또 다른 주변부재의 파괴로 이어지는 붕괴를 의미한다. 현재 국내에서는 연쇄붕괴 방지를 위한 설계지침이 마련되어 있지 않은 형편이다. 특히 구조설계 시 연쇄붕괴 저항성능의 평가를 할 필요가 있을 때 연쇄붕괴 방법 및 절차에 대한 기준이 없어 엔지니어들이 많은 어려움을 느끼고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 연쇄붕괴 저항성능평가에 가장 많이 사용되는 GSA 가이드라인을 이용하여 정적 및 동적해석에 의해 평가하는 방법 및 절차를 소개하고, 철근콘크리트 모멘트저항골조에 대해 연쇄붕괴 성능평가를 수행하여 각 해석방법에 의한 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 국내 설계기준에 의해 내진 설계된 해석모델의 철근콘크리트 모멘트저항골조 시스템은 DCR 값이 2를 초과하여 연쇄붕괴에 충분한 대체하중 경로를 제공하지 못하며, 연쇄붕괴를 고려하기 위해서는 추가적인 보강이 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 선형동적해석과 선형정적해석의 수직 처짐 및 DCR 값을 비교한 결과, 정적해석에 의한 평가결과보다 보수적인 결과를 나타내어 실용적인 방법으로서 현재 제안되고 있는 하중조합의 2배를 고려하는 동적계수를 고려한 선형정적해석의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 국내 내진설계기준에 의해 중간모멘트골조로 설계된 철골 모멘트접합부에서 면외방향 어긋남을 갖는 보가 접합부의 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 기둥을 중심으로 보가 접합되는 형식에 따라 2가지 경우(단면접합 및 양면접합)와 각각의 경우에 대하여 4개 수준의 어긋남 각도(0°, 10°, 20°, 30°)를 조합하여 총 14개의 유한요소해석 모델을 구성하였다. 해석결과, 면외 어긋남을 갖는 대상 모멘트접합부는 국내 구조기준에 따른 중간모멘트골조의 성능수준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 면외 어긋남 각도가 커질수록 접합부 시스템의 하중저항능력이 감소하였다. 면외 어긋남 각도가 30°인 접합부에서 보-기둥이 직교된 접합부에 비하여 최대 하중은 약 13% 감소하였고, 층간 변위각 0.02 rad까지의 에너지 소산능력은 최대 26% 감소하였다. 또한, 어긋남 형상에 기인하여 접합부와 인접한 보 플랜지에서 응력이 비대칭으로 분포되며, 보 플랜지와 기둥 플랜지가 예각을 이루는 내측 플랜지(Inner Flange)에 응력이 집중되었다. 본 연구에서 고려한 보-기둥 접합에서는 어긋난 보에 의해 기둥의 축방향 회전에 미치는 영향은 미미하여 무시할 만 하였다.

A new type of pure torsional yielding damper made from steel pipe is proposed and introduced. The damper uses a special mechanism to apply force and therefore applies pure torsion in the damper. Uniform distribution of the shear stress caused by pure torsion resulting in widespread yielding along pipe and consequently dissipating a large amount of energy. The behavior of the damper is investigated analytically and the governing relations are derived. To examine the performance of the proposed damper, four types of the damper are experimentally tested. The results of the tests show the behavior of the system as stable and satisfactory. The behavior characteristics include initial stiffness, yielding load, yielding deformation, and dissipated energy in a cycle of hysteretic behavior. The tests results were compared with the numerical analysis and the derived analytical relations outputs. The comparison shows an acceptable and precise approximation by the analytical outputs for estimation of the proposed damper behavior. Therefore, the relations may be applied to design the braced frame system equipped by the pure torsional yielding damper. An analytical model based on analytical relationships was developed and verified. This model can be used to simulate cyclic behavior of the proposed damper in the dynamic analysis of the structures equipped with the proposed damper. A numerical study was conducted on the performance of an assumed frame with/without proposed damper. Dynamic analysis of the assumed frames for seven earthquake records demonstrate that, equipping moment-resisting frames with the proposed dampers decreases the maximum story drift of these frames with an average reduction of about 50%.

본 연구는 예압 가새로써 내진 보강된 RC 골조의 보강 효과를 3차원적으로 조사함이 그 목적이다. 이를 위해, 먼저 4층 규모의 RC 골조에 극한 하중을 가한 후 예압 가새를 이용하여 보강하되 보강 위치에 따라 3경우로 나누어 해석을 수행해보았다. 해석 방법으로써, 본 연구자가 앞서 행한 연구 결과에 의해 정적 붕괴 해석법이 비선형 동적 시간 이력 해석법의 대안책으로 훌륭히 쓰일 수 있음을 밝힌바 있기 때문에 정적 붕괴 해석만 적용하여 보강 전의 해석 및 보강 후의 영향에 대해서 평가하였다. 그 결과, 외주부에 설치한 가새가 커다란 비틀림 저항을 발휘했으며 예압 가새로 인해 골조에 균등한 강성 변화가 유도되어 급격한 파괴가 발생하지 않는 효과를 보였다.
