Considering the non-linear behavior of structure and soil when evaluating a nuclear power plant's seismic safety under a beyond-design basis earthquake is essential. In order to obtain the nonlinear response of a nuclear power plant structure, a time-domain SSI analysis method that considers the nonlinearity of soil and structure and the nonlinear Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect is necessary. The Boundary Reaction Method (BRM) is a time-domain SSI analysis method. The BRM can be applied effectively with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML), which is an effective energy absorbing boundary condition. The BRM has a characteristic that the magnitude of the response in far-field soil increases as the boundary interface of the effective seismic load moves outward. In addition, the PML has poor absorption performance of low-frequency waves. For this reason, the accuracy of the low-frequency response may be degraded when analyzing the combination of the BRM and the PML. In this study, the accuracy of the analysis response was improved by adjusting the PML input parameters to improve this problem. The accuracy of the response was evaluated by using the analysis response using KIESSI-3D, a frequency domain SSI analysis program, as a reference solution. As a result of the analysis applying the optimal PML parameter, the average error rate of the acceleration response spectrum for 9 degrees of freedom of the structure was 3.40%, which was highly similar to the reference result. In addition, time-domain nonlinear SSI analysis was performed with the soil's nonlinearity to show this study's applicability. As a result of nonlinear SSI analysis, plastic deformation was concentrated in the soil around the foundation. The analysis results found that the analysis method combining BRM and PML can be effectively applied to the seismic response analysis of nuclear power plant structures.

This paper evaluates the seismic response of three dimensional steel space buildings using the spread plastic hinge approach. A numerical study was carried out in which a sample steel space building was selected for pushover analysis and incremental nonlinear dynamic time history analysis. For the nonlinear analysis, three earthquake acceleration records were selected to ensure compatibility with the design spectrum defined in the Turkish Earthquake Code. The interstorey drift, capacity curve, maximum responses and dynamic pushover curves of the building were obtained. The analysis results were compared and good correlation was obtained between the idealized dynamic analyses envelopes with and static pushover curves for the selected building. As a result to more accurately account response of steel buildings, dynamic pushover envelopes can be obtained and compared with static pushover curve of the building.

To evaluate the seismic performance of multistory building structures use an equivalent SDOF model. This paper presents a method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model. The principal objective of this investigation is to evaluate appropriateness of converting method through perform nonlinear time history analysis of a multistory building structures and an equivalent SDOF model. The hysteresis rules to be used an equivalent SDOF model is obtained from the pushover analysis. The conclusion of this study is following; A method of converting a MDOF system into an equivalent SDOF model through the nonlinear time history response analysis is valid. The representative lateral displacement of a moment resisting reinforced concrete frames is close to the height of the first modal participation vector $_1$$\beta$｛$_1$u｝=1. It can be found that the hysteresis rule of an equivalent SDOF model have influence on the time history response. Therefore, it is necessary for selecting hysteresis rules to consider hysteresis characteristics of a moment resisting reinforced concrete frames.

This paper investigates earthquake response of reinforced concrete regular frames subjected to rebar corrosion. A typical four-story reinforced concrete frame is designed according to Turkish Earthquake Code in order to examine earthquake response. Then different levels of rebar corrosion scenarios are applied to this frame structure. The deteriorated conditions as a result of these scenarios are included loss in cross sectional area of rebar, loss of mechanical properties of rebar, loss in bond strength and variations in damage limits of concrete sections. The frame is evaluated using a nonlinear static analysis in its sound as well as deteriorated conditions. The rebar corrosion effect on the structural response is investigated by comparing the response of the frame in each scenario with respect to the sound condition of the frame. The results shows that the progressive deterioration of the frame over time cause serious reductions on the base shear and top displacement capacity and also structural ductility of the corroded frames. The propagation time, intensity, and extensity of rebar corrosion on the frame are important parameters governing the effect of rebar corrosion on earthquake response of the frame.

지진하중을 받는 현수교의 기하비선형 거동특성을 분석하기 위하여 비선형 지진응답해석 알고리즘을 정립하고 그에 따른 전산프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석이론을 최근 시도되고 있는 자정식 현수교나 mono-duo 형식의 주케이블 형상을 갖는 독특한 현수교에 대해서는 적용가능하도록 유한요소법을 사용하였다. 입력지진은 장지간 교량의 다중지지효과를 고려하기 위하여 한 지점에서 다른쪽 지점으로 형상변화 없이 이동한다고 가정하였다. 하나의 mono-duo 자정식 현수교에 대하여 비선형 지진해석을 수생한 결과 예제의 교량이 비교적 단지간이어서 비선형 거동특성과 다중지지 효과가 두드러지게 나타나지는 않음을 확인할 수 있었다.

현수교의 지진응답 산정 시 몇 가지 해석법 간에 발생될 수 있는 차이를 파악하고자 하나의 예제 현수교에 대해 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 주된 검토항목은 선형과 비선형 응답응답스펙트럼법과 동적해석법, 그리고 감쇠율과 감쇠고려 방안이다. 검토 결과 대상 물리량이나 가진 방향에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 전체적으로 감쇠율과 감쇠 고려방안 등 감쇠와 관련된 변수가 지진응답에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 반면 응답스펙트럼과 동적해석법, 선형 및 비선형해석법 등 구조해석법에 관련된 변수는 상대적으로 지진응답에 미치는 영향이 적은 것으로 확인되었다. 대상 현수교의 경우에도 응답스펙트럼법이 안전측의 결과를 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대되지만 이 경우 도로교설계기준에 제시된 설계응답스펙트럼을 감쇠율에 따라 적절히 보정하는 사전 작업이 필요랄 것으로 판단되었다.

최근 들어 시설물별 내진설계기준이 성능기반 내진설계로 전환됨에 따라, 신뢰성있는 비선형 응답이력해석(Response-history analysis, RHA)에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 그러나, 부지응답해석 분야에 있어서는 1970년대 이후 등가선형 해석이 표준절차로 자리잡고 있음에 따라, 이를 대체하기 위해서는 비선형 응답이력해석의 신뢰성이 확보되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 1989년 미국 Loma Prieta 지진기록을 바탕으로 다층지반에 대해서 비선형 RHA를 이용한 부지응답해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 이를 위하여, 비선형 RHA를 위한 비선형 지반모델의 선정방법과 3차원 해석시 요구되는 기반암 경계조건의 영향을 평가 하였다. 평가 결과, 제한된 조건하에서 가장 정확한 비선형 지반모델과 경계조건을 적용 시 비선형 RHA의 결과는 등가선형 해석결과와 유의미한 차이는 발생하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 3차원 해석을 시행하는 경우, 전체 모델의 회전운동을 제어하기 위하여 최 하단부 흡수 경계조건을 적용해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Time history analyses have been preferred commonly in earthquake engineering area to determine earthquake performances of structures in recent years. Advances in computer technology and structural analysis have led to common usage of time history analyses. Eurocode 8 allows the use of real earthquake records as an input for linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures. However, real earthquake records with the desired characteristics sometimes may not be found, for example depending on soil classes, in this case artificial and synthetic earthquake records can be used for seismic analyses rather than real records. Selected earthquake records should be scaled to a code design spectrum to reduce record to record variability in structural responses of considered structures. So, scaling of earthquake records is one of the most important procedures of time history analyses. In this paper, four real earthquake records are scaled to Eurocode 8 design spectrums by using SESCAP (Selection and Scaling Program) based on time domain scaling method and developed by using MATLAB, GUI software, and then scaled and real earthquake records are used for linear time history analyses of a six-storied building. This building is modeled as spatial by SAP2000 software. The objectives of this study are to put basic procedures and criteria of selecting and scaling earthquake records in a nutshell, and to compare the effects of scaled earthquake records on structural response with the effects of real earthquake records on structural response in terms of record to record variability of structural response. Seismic analysis results of building show that record to record variability of structural response caused by scaled earthquake records are fewer than ones caused by real earthquake records.

This paper presents an analytical study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of using buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) in mitigating the seismic response of a case study 6 storey reinforced concrete (RC) building. In the design of the BRBs with non-prismatic cross-sections, twelve combinations of ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ design parameters that influence the strength and stiffness of the BRBs, respectively, were considered. The response of the structure with and without BRBs under earthquake ground accelerations were evaluated through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Two sets of ground motions representative of the design earthquake with 10% and 50% exceedance probability in fifty years were taken into account. By comparing the structural performance of the original and buckling restrained braced structures, it was observed that the use of the BRBs were very effective in mitigating the seismic response as a retrofit scheme. However, the selection of the strength and stiffness parameters of the BRBs had considerable effect on the response characteristics of RC structures. For instance, by increasing the value of ${\alpha}$ and by decreasing the value of ${\beta}$ of the buckling-restrained braces, the maximum deformation demand of the structures increased.
