이 논문은 화재에 노출된 철근콘크리트 구조에 대한 수치해석 모델을 제시하고, 기존의 자료 및 설계 규준과의 비교를 통해 구조물의 설계 시 고려 사항에 대해 제안하고 있다. 수치해석은 비정상 열전달 해석과 비선형 구조해석의 두 단계로 수행되며, 비정상 열전달 해석을 통해서 얻어진 화재시간에 따른 단면 온도분포를 바탕으로 비선형 구조해석하여 부재의 상태에 대한 정보를 얻게 된다. 이때, 철근콘크리트의 재료모델을 화재진행상태(Under-Fire)와 화재종료 후 냉각상태(After-Cooling)로 나뉘어 해석수행하여 각각의 재료상태에 따른 거동의 변화를 살펴본다. 해석된 결과는 여러 구조물에 대해 기존의 실험결과와 비교하여 검증하고, 설계 규준과의 비교를 통해 화재 시 구조물의 안전성에 대해 고찰하였다.

This paper presents the application of hybrid-simulation-based adapter elements for the non-linear two-scale analysis of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills under seismic-like demands. The approach provides communication and distribution of the computations carried out by two or more remote or locally distributed numerical models connected through the OpenFresco Framework. The modeling consists of a global analysis formed by macro-elements to represent frames and walls, and to reduce global degrees of freedom, portions of the structure that require advanced analysis are substituted by experimental elements and dimensional couplings acting as interfaces with their respective sub-assemblies. The local sub-assemblies are modeled by solid finite elements where the non-linear behavior of concrete matrix and masonry infill adopt a continuum damage representation and the reinforcement steel a discrete one, the conditions at interfaces between concrete and masonry are considered through a contact model. The methodology is illustrated through the analysis of a frame-wall system subjected to lateral loads comparing the results of using macro-elements, finite element model and experimental observations. Finally, to further assess and validate the methodology proposed, the paper presents the pushover analysis of two more complex structures applying both modeling scales to obtain their corresponding capacity curves.

최근의 지진을 경험하면서 지진에 대한 성능 설계 개념이 설계기준에 포함되기 시작하였다. 따라서 RC 구조물의 강도와 연성을 예측할 수 있는 간단한 해석도구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 2차원 래티스 모델을 확장하여 3차원 래티스 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 3차원 래티스 모델을 평가하기 위하여 구조물의 비틀림 해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 평가를 위하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 래티스 요소의 크기에 따른 해석 결과를 분석하여 사용성을 검토하였다. 개발한 3차원 래티스 모델을 사용한 비틀림 거동해석이 실험값과 비교적 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다.

강한 지진에 대한 필로티형 고층 철근콘크리트 건물의 거동을 묘사하기 위한 해석기법의 개발과 성능평가를 위해, 상부벽식 하부 골조형식인 필로티형 건물에 대한 1/12축소 진동대 실험결과와 OpenSees를 이용하여 실험모델에 대한 비선형 시간이력해석을 수행한 결과를 비교하였다. 하부골조 형식은 모두 골조로 이루어진 형태(BF)와 전단벽이 한쪽 외부골조에 치우쳐 비틀림이 발생하는 형태(ESW)의 실험체에 대해 해석연구를 수행하였다. 철근과 콘크리트의 응력-변형률관계를 정의한 후 이를 단면에 이식시킨 섬유모델을 통해 비선형거동을 나타내도록 하였으며, 벽체는 MVLEM모델을 이용하였다. 해석결과 본 논문에서 제시한 비선형 모델은 필로티층의 거동(예를 들면 필로티층의 항복강도와 강성 상부구조물의 흔들림, 거동, 그리고 축력의 변화에 따른 축강성과 전단강성의 변화)을 비교적 정확하게 묘사하였다. 그러나 MVLEM으로 벽체의 비선형거동을 구성한 결과 거시거동은 실제 모델을 잘 따랐으나, 비틀림이 주된 진동주기일 때 발생하는 벽체 횡강성의 급격한 증가와 Warping현상으로 인해 코너기둥에 발생하는 과도한 인장력은 제대로 반영하지 못하였다. 비선형 해석으로 설계부재력을 구할 경우 실제보다 약 $20{\sim}30%$ 작게 나타났는데, 이는 실험과 해석방법의 차이때문에 발생한 것으로 보이며, 비선형 거동이 과도하게 발생한 수준의 지진에 대해서는 필로티형 건물의 거동특성을 충실히 나타내었다.

In this study, in order to improve the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures, various external attachment of corner steel frame configurations was considered as a user-friendly retrofitting method. The external steel frame is designed to contribute to the lateral stiffness and load carrying capacity of the existing RC structure. A six-story building was taken into account. Four different external corner steel frame configurations were suggested in order to strengthen the building. The 3D models of the building with suggested retrofitting steel frames were developed within ABAQUS environment using solid finite elements and analyzed under horizontal loadings nonlinearly. Horizontal top displacement vs loading curves were obtained to determine the overall performance of the building. Contributions of steel and RC frames to the carried loads were computed individually. Load/capacity ratios for the ground floor columns were presented. In the study, 3D rendered images of the building with the suggested retrofits are created to better visualize the real effect of the retrofit on the final appearance of the façade of the building. The analysis results have shown that the proposed external steel frame retrofit configurations increased the lateral load carrying capacity and lateral stiffness and can be used to improve the seismic performance of RC framed buildings.

In this paper, probabilistic seismic performance assessment of a typical non-seismic RC frame building representative of a large inventory of existing buildings in developing countries is conducted. Nonlinear time-history analyses of the sample building are performed with 20 large-magnitude medium distance ground motions scaled to different levels of intensity represented by peak ground acceleration and 5% damped elastic spectral acceleration at the first mode period of the building. The hysteretic model used in the analyses accommodates stiffness degradation, ductility-based strength decay, hysteretic energy-based strength decay and pinching due to gap opening and closing. The maximum inter story drift ratios obtained from the time-history analyses are plotted against the ground motion intensities. A method is defined for obtaining the yielding and collapse capacity of the analyzed structure using these curves. The fragility curves for yielding and collapse damage levels are developed by statistically interpreting the results of the time-history analyses. Hazard-survival curves are generated by changing the horizontal axis of the fragility curves from ground motion intensities to their annual probability of exceedance using the log-log linear ground motion hazard model. The results express at a glance the probabilities of yielding and collapse against various levels of ground motion intensities.

According to The Concrete Centre, in the UK shear walls have become an inseparable part of almost every reinforced concrete frame building. Recently, the construction industry has questioned the need for shear walls in low to mid-rise RC frame buildings. This study tried to address the issue in two stages: The first stage, the feasibility of removing shear walls in an existing design for a residential building where ETABS and CONCEPT software were used to investigate the structural performance and cost-effectiveness respectively. The second stage, the same structure was examined in various locations in the UK to investigate regional effects. This study demonstrated that the building without shear wall could provide adequate serviceability and strength within the safe range defined by Eurocodes. As a result, construction time, overall cost and required concrete volume are reduced which in turn enhance the sustainability of concrete construction.

Many RC building structures of multiple uses constructed in Korea have the irregularities of torsion and soft story at bottom stories. A typical irregular building was selected as prototype and shaking table tests were performed to investigate the seismic performance of this building. The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of this irregular building structure subjected to the earthquake excitation by using OpenSees(Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation). The results of analyses simulate well the behavior of the building having torsional irregularity and weak stories.

The soil-structure interaction effect significantly influences the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic loads. The shear walls are often provided in such buildings to increase the lateral stability to resist seismic loads. In the present work, the nonlinear soil-structure analysis of a G+5 storey RC shear wall building frame having isolated column footings and founded on deformable soil is presented. The nonlinear seismic FE analysis is carried out using ANSYS software for the building with and without shear walls to investigate the effect of inclusion of shear wall on the moments in the footings due to differential settlement of soil mass. The frame is considered to behave in linear elastic manner, whereas, soil mass to behave in nonlinear manner. It is found that the interaction effect causes significant variation in the moments in the footings. The comparison of non-interaction and interaction analyses suggests that the presence of shear wall causes significant decrease in bending moments in most of the footings but the interaction effect causes restoration of the bending moments to a great extent. A comparison is made between linear and nonlinear analyses to draw some important conclusions.

In the present study, exterior beam-column sub-assemblage from a regular reinforced concrete (RC) building has been considered. Two different types of beam-column sub-assemblages from existing RC building have been considered, i.e., gravity load designed ('GLD'), and seismically designed but without any ductile detailing ('NonDuctile'). Hence, both the cases represent the under-designed structure at different time frame span before the introduction of ductile detailing. For designing 'NonDuctile' structure, Eurocode and Indian Standard were considered. Non-linear finite element (FE) program has been employed for analysing the sub-assemblages under cyclic loading. FE models were developed using quadratic concrete brick elements with embedded truss elements to represent reinforcements. It has been found that the results obtained from the numerical analysis are well corroborated with that of experimental results. Using the validated numerical models, it was proposed to correlate the energy dissipation from numerical analysis to that from experimental analysis. Numerical models would be helpful in practice to evaluate the seismic performance of the critical sub-assemblages prior to design decisions. Further, using the numerical studies, performance of the sub-assemblages with variation of axial load ratios (ratio is defined by applied axial load divided by axial strength) has been studied since many researchers have brought out inconsistent observations on role of axial load in changing strength and energy dissipation under cyclic load.
