The equivalent static force procedure and the response spectrum analysis method are widely used for seismic analyses of multi-story buildings. The equivalent static force procedure is one of the most simple but less accurate method in predicting possible seismic response of a structure. The response spectrum analysis method provides more accurate results while it takes much longer computational time. In the response spectrum method, dynamic response of a multi-story building is obtained by combining modal responses through a proper procedure such as SRSS or CQC method. Since all of the analysis results are expressed in absolute values, structural engineers have difficulties to combine them with the results obtained from the static analysis. Design automation is interrupted at this stage because of the difficulty in the decision of the most critical design load. Pseudo-dynamic analysis method proposed in this study provides more accurate seismic analysis results than those of the equivalent static force procedure since the dynamic characteristics of a structure is considered. And the proposed method has an advantage in combination of the analysis results due to gravity loads and seismic loads since the direction of the forces can be considered.

본 논문은 고층건물의 지진응답해석에서 탄성 및 탄소성 응답스펙트럼 해석법에 대하여 고찰한 것이다. 선형 구조물의 지진응답 해석에 널리 사용되고 있는 응답스펙트럼법은 여러 연구자들에 의해 서로 다른 모드 조합방법으로 제안되었으며, 이들 조합방법에 따른 차이점을 상세히 검토하였다. 탄소성 지진응답해석에 응답스펙트럼법은 아직 널리 사용되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 장주기를 갖는 고층 건물의 탄소성 지진응답해석에 응답스펙트럼을 확장하여 적용하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 탄소성 응답스펙트럼법을 이용하면, 고층건물의 예비 설계에서 시간이력해석 대신으로 보다 간편히 탄소성 응답치를 예측하는 도구로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Prior to installation in a navy ship, shipboard equipment should be qualified by shock test requirements. The multi-function console mounted on the elastic platform of the ship should also withstand given shock loads. In this study, both real shock test methods, as well as numerical computer simulations using the finite element method were used to verify structural durability under shock load conditions. First, we used domestic test facilities to perform possible shock tests, including an impact hammer test, a drop table test and a shaker shock test. Full model tests satisfying the shock response spectrum level were performed. Thereafter, an analytical model of the complex console structure was built by the finite element method. Finally, numerical results were verified by modal test results of the real product and an FEA analysis was also performed with a full model transient response analysis.

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.

In this study, an effective load increment method for multi modal adaptive non-linear static (pushover) analysis (NSA) for building type structures is presented. In the method, lumped plastisicity approach is adopted and geometrical non-linearties (second-order effects) are included. Non-linear yield conditions of column elements and geometrical non-linearity effects between successive plastic sections are linearized. Thus, load increment needed for formation of plastic sections can be determined directly (without applying iteration or step-by-step techniques) by using linearized yield conditions. After formation of each plastic section, the higher mode effects are considered by utilizing the essentials of traditional response spectrum analysis at linearized regions between plastic sections. Changing dynamic properties due to plastification in the system are used on the calculation of modal lateral loads. Thus, the effects of stiffness changes and local mechanism at the system on lateral load distribution are included. By using the proposed method, solution can be obtained effectively for multi-mode whereby the properties change due to plastifications in the system. In the study, a new procedure for determination of modal lateral loads is also proposed. In order to evaluate the proposed method, a 20 story RC frame building is analyzed and compared with Non-linear Dynamic Analysis (NDA) results and FEMA 356 Non-linear Static Analysis (NSA) procedures using fixed loads distributions (first mode, SRSS and uniform distribution) in terms of different parameters. Second-order effects on response quantities and periods are also investigated. When the NDA results are taken as reference, it is seen that proposed method yield generally better results than all FEMA 356 procedures for all investigated response quantities.

The vertical axis through the modal center of rigidity (m-CR) is used for interpreting the code torsional provisions in the design of eccentric multi-story building structures. The concept of m-CR has been demonstrated by the author in an earlier paper and the particular feature of this point is that when the vertical line of the centers of mass at the floor levels is passing through m-CR, minimum base torsion is developed. For this reason the aforesaid axis is used as reference axis for implementing the code provisions required by the equivalent static analysis. The study examines uniform mixed-bent-type multistory buildings with simple eccentricity, ranging from torsionally stiff to torsionally flexible systems. Using the results of a dynamic response spectrum analysis as a basis for comparisons, it is shown that the results of the code static design are on the safe side in torsionally stiff buildings, but unable to predict the required strength of bents on the stiff side of systems with a predominantly torsional response. Suggestions are made for improving the code provisions in such cases.

Prior to modern seismic provisions, several bridges were not designed for seismic actions in moderate seismic areas. Precast multi-girder and slab bridges are typical highway overpass structures; they have a significant contribution to national bridge stocks. Since the seismic behavior is questionable, a preliminary parametric study is conducted to determine critical configurations and components. The results indicate that the behavior of the abutments, backfill soil, superstructure and foundation is normally satisfactory; however, the superstructure-abutment joints are critical for both single- and multi-span bridges, while the piers are also critical for longer multi-span configurations. The parametric results provide a solid basis both for detailed seismic assessment and development of design concepts of newly built structures in moderate seismic zones.

성능에 기초한 설계법에서는 비선형 응답산정이 필수적이며, 이를 위한 방법으로는 비선형시각이력해석법, 비선형 정적해석법, 비선형 효과를 고려한 등가선형해석법 등이 있다. 일부 규준에서는 pushover곡선으로부터 작성한 성능스펙트럼과 선형 응답스펙트럼으로부터 작성한 요구스펙트럼으로 이루어진 능력스펙트럼법을 제안하고 있다. 이 방법은 개념적으로는 간단하나 반복과정이 요구되며, 부정확한 결과를 산출하는 경우가 많다. 이에 따라 시행착오적인 등가선형 스펙트럼대신 비선형스펙트럼을 사용하는 방법들에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 비선형 요구스펙트럼은 표준적 선형 설계스펙트럼으로부터 결정될 수 있으며, 이 방법은 등가선형의 경우보다는 계산과정이 대폭 줄어들기는 하나 아직도 다소의 연산과정이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다자유도계의 구조물에 대한 pushover곡선으로부터 구조물의 진동주기와 항복강도를 구한 다음, 일련의 계산과정을 거치지 않고도, 직접적으로 비선형 최대응답을 구할 수 있는 비선형 직접스펙트럼법(NDSM)을 제시하극 집중질량계의 MDF(다자유도계) 모델에 대해 다양한 지진기록과 제하강성저하지수를 변수로 하여 NDSM의 적용성과 신뢰성을 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 다자유도계 구조물에 대한 비선형 직접스펙트럼법에 의한 최대변위 응답은 비선형 시각이력해석법에 의한 응답과 거의 일치하므로 실용적인 방법으로 사료된다. 2) 비선형 직접스펙트럼법과 비선형 시각이력해석에 의해 산정된 죄상층 변위 결과를 비교하면, 항복후강성계수가 0.1, MAD(modal adaptive distribution)에 의한 수평정적하중분폰 그리고 제하강성저하지수가 0.2~O.3일 때 평균오차가 가장 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.
