앞 편의 논문에서 제안된 수치해석을 토대로 외부 비부착 강선에 의해 보강된 PSC 부재에 영향을 주는 여려 인자들을 분석하였다. 설계과정에서 반드시 고려되어야 할, 편향부에서의 미끌림, 편향부의 개수, 콘트리트의 시간의존적 변형, 긴장재의 응력이완, 그리고 하중이력의 영향과 같은 많은 설계변수들을 검토하였으며, 설계변수들의 연구를 통해 중요한 결과들을 얻었다. 나아가 최적 강선 배치형상이 작용하는 하중 형태에 의존하므로 외부 비부착 강선의 배치형%에 따른 구조물의 거동을 파악하기 위해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 편향부의 위치와 하중의 위치가 일치할 때 가장 안정적인 구조물의 거동을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

다층구조물의 경우 변위보다 층간변위에 의해 구조물의 파괴가 발생되나 현행 국 내외 내진설계 규준에 제시된 역량스펙트럼 법에서는 변위에 의한 응답산정으로 층간변위를 정확히 예측할 수가 없었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다층구조물의 가장 기본적인 모델인 전단빌딩(Shear Building)에 대하여 기존의 역량해석법의 간편성과 장점을 변함없이 유지하면서, 구조물의 파괴에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 층간변위를 실제에 가깝게 예측하고 구조물의 내진성능을 평가할 수 있는 개선된 역량스펙트럼 법을 제안하고자 한다. 나아가 제안된 방법을 예제구조물에 적용하고 시간이력 해석결과와 비교함으로서 제안된 방법의 신뢰성에 대한 검증을 수행하였다.

This paper represents results of an effort to seismically rehabilitate a 12-story nonductile reinforced concrete frame building. The frame located in the most severe seismic area, zone 4, is assumed to be designed and detailed for gravity load requirements only. Both pushover and nonlinear time-history analyses are carried out to determine strength, deformation capacity and the vulnerability of the building. The analysis indicates a drift concentration at the $1^{st}$ floor level due to inadequate strength and ductility capacity of the ground floor columns. The capacity curve of the structure, when superimposed on the average demand response spectrum for the ensemble of scaled earthquakes indicates that the structure is extremely weak and requires a major retrofit. The retrofit of the building is attempted using viscoelastic (VE) dampers. The dampers at each floor level are sized in order to reduce the elastic story drift ratios to within 1%. It is found that this requires substantially large dampers that are not practically feasible. With practical size dampers, the analyses of the viscoelastically damped building indicates that the damper sizes provided are not sufficient enough to remove the biased response and drift concentration of the building. The results indicate that VE-dampers alone are not sufficient to rehabilitate such a concrete frame. Concrete buildings, in general, being stiffer require larger dampers. The second rehabilitation strategy uses concrete shearwalls. Shearwalls increased stiffness and strength of the building, which resulted in reducing the drift significantly. The effectiveness of VE-dampers in conjunction with stiff shearwalls was also studied. Considering the economy and effectiveness, it is concluded that shearwalls were the most feasible solution for seismic rehabilitation of such buildings.

In past major earthquakes (1994 Northridge, 1995 Kobe, Chi-Chi 1999, Kocaeli 1999), significant damages occurred in the liquid storage tanks. The basic failure patterns were observed to be the buckling of the tank wall and uplift of the anchorage system. The damages in the industrial facilities and nuclear power plants have caused the spread of toxic substances to the environment and significant fires. Seismic isolation can be used in liquid storage tanks to decouple the structure and decrease the structural demand in the superstructure in case of ground shaking. Previous studies on the use of seismic isolation systems on liquid storage tanks show that an isolation system reduces the impulsive response but might slightly increase the convective one. There is still a lack of understanding of the seismic response of seismically isolated liquid storage tanks considering the fluid-structure interaction. In this study, one broad tank, one medium tank, and one slender tank are selected and designed. Two- and three-dimensional elastomeric bearings are used as seismic isolation systems. The seismic performance of the tanks is then investigated through nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses. The effectiveness of each seismic isolation system on tanks' performance was investigated. Isolator tension forces, modal analysis results, hydrodynamic stresses, strains, sloshing heights and base shear forces of the tanks are compared. The results show that the total base shear is lower in 3D-isolators compared to 2D-isolators. Even though the tank wall stresses, and strains are slightly higher in 3D-isolators, they are more efficient to prevent the tension problem.

지진하중과 같은 횡하중에 대하여 교량구조물의 아칭작용은 교대 사이의 상부구조에 의해 발생하며 이를 상부구조의 저항능력이라고도 한다. 교량구조물의 아칭작용의 크기는 경간의 수에 영향을 받으며 또한 상부구조, 교대와 교각의 연결조건 및 상부구조와 하부구조의 강성비에도 영향을 받는다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 상자형 교량의 비탄성 지진응답에 대한 아칭작용의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 경간수에 따른 두 가지 종류의 예제교량(교량 SB와 교량 LB), 교각의 높이의 배열에 따른 세가지 종류(대칭, 비대칭)의 교량, 상부구조와 하부구조의 연결조건에 따른 세가지 교량(형식 A, B, C)등에 대한 구분을 조합하여 18가지 종류의 예제구조물을 작성하였으며, 이 예제구조물들에 대하여 역량스펙트럼해석, 비탄성 시간이력해석을 수행하여 지진응답을 비교하여 아칭작용의 영향을 분석하였다. 아칭작용의 영향(최대변위의 감소와 저항능력의 증가)은 교량 SB(short bridge)의 경우가 교량 LB(long bridge) 보다 크게 나타났으며 대칭교량의 경우가 비대칭교량에 비하여 크게 나타남을 알수 있었다.

상부벽식-하부골조 구조(복합구조)는 일반적으로 전이층을 중심으로 상부는 주거공간의 전단벽식의 고층아파트이고 하부는 상업공간의 보-기등의 골조구조이다. 이러한 구조물은 구조형식의 특성상 강성비정형, 질량비정형, 기하학적 비정형 등 비정형 형태의 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하부골조 구조물의 층수가 변화할 경우에 대해 복합 구조물의 비선형 거동특성과 내진성능을 파악하였다. 비선형 해석결과로부터 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 비선형 정적해석의 최상층변위각과 밑면전 단력계수로부터 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 구조물의 밑면전단력계수는 감소하였으나 최상층변위각은 증가하였다. 2) 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 상부벽식구조의 층간변위각과 소성율은 감소하였으며, 상부벽식은 탄성상태에 가까운 거동을 하였다. 3) 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 하부구조에서 층간변위각이 집중적으로 증가하였다.

In the last decades, valuable results have been reported regarding conventional passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid structural control systems on two-dimensional and a few three-dimensional shear buildings. In this research, using a three-dimensional finite element model of high-rise concrete structures, designed by performance based plastic design method, it was attempted to construct a relatively close to reality model of concrete structures equipped with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) by considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), torsion effect, hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete. In contrast to previous studies which have focused mainly on linearly designed structures, in this study, using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) design approach, nonlinear behavior of the structures was considered from the beginning of the design stage. Inelastic time history analysis on a detailed model of twenty-story concrete structure was performed under a far-field ground motion record set. The seismic responses of the structure by considering SSI effect are studied by eight main objective functions that are related to the performance of the structure, containing: lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, plastic energy dissipation, shear force, number of plastic hinges, local plastic energy and rotation of plastic hinges. The tuning problem of TMD based on tuned mass spectra is set by considering five of the eight previously described functions. Results reveal that the structural damage distribution range is retracted and inter-story drift distribution in height of the structure is more uniform. It is strongly suggested to consider the effect of SSI in structural design and analysis.

In this study, a new recentering friction device (RFD) to retrofit steel moment frame structures is introduced. The device provides both self-centering and energy dissipation capabilities for the retrofitted structure. A hybrid performance-based seismic design procedure considering multiple limit states is proposed for designing the device and the retrofitted structure. The design of the RFD is achieved by modifying the conventional performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure using computational intelligence techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Numerous nonlinear time-history response analyses (NLTHAs) are conducted on multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) and single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to train and validate the ANN to achieve high prediction accuracy. The proposed procedure and the new RFD are assessed using 2D and 3D models globally and locally. Globally, the effectiveness of the proposed device is assessed by conducting NLTHAs to check the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR). Seismic fragilities of the retrofitted models are investigated by constructing fragility curves of the models for different limit states. After that, seismic life cycle cost (LCC) is estimated for the models with and without the retrofit. Locally, the stress concentration at the contact point of the RFD and the existing steel frame is checked being within acceptable limits using finite element modeling (FEM). The RFD showed its effectiveness in minimizing MIDR and eliminating residual drift for low to mid-rise steel frames models tested. GA and ANN proved to be crucial integrated parts in the modified PBSD to achieve the required seismic performance at different limit states with reasonable computational cost. ANN showed a very high prediction accuracy for transformation between MDOF and SDOF systems. Also, the proposed retrofit showed its efficiency in enhancing the seismic fragility and reducing the LCC significantly compared to the un-retrofitted models.

A parametric study was conducted to investigate the seismic deformation demands in terms of drift ratio, plastic base rotation and compression strain on rectangular wall members in frame-wall systems. The wall index defined as ratio of total wall area to the floor plan area was kept as variable in frame-wall models and its relation with the seismic demand at the base of the wall was investigated. The wall indexes of analyzed models are in the range of 0.2-2%. 4, 8 and 12-story frame-wall models were created. The seismic behavior of frame-wall models were calculated using nonlinear time-history analysis and design spectrum matched ground motion set. Analyses results revealed that the increased wall index led to significant reduction in the top and inter-story displacement demands especially for 4-story models. The calculated average inter-story drift decreased from 1.5% to 0.5% for 4-story models. The average drift ratio in 8- and 12-story models has changed from approximately 1.5% to 0.75%. As the wall index increases, the dispersion in the calculated drifts due to ground motion variability decreased considerably. This is mainly due to increase in the lateral stiffness of models that leads their fundamental period of vibration to fall into zone of the response spectra that has smaller dispersion for scaled ground motion data set. When walls were assessed according to plastic rotation limits defined in ASCE/SEI 41, it was seen that the walls in frame-wall systems with low wall index in the range of 0.2-0.6% could seldom survive the design earthquake without major damage. Concrete compressive strains calculated in all frame-wall structures were much higher than the limit allowed for design, ${\varepsilon}_c$=0.0035, so confinement is required at the boundaries. For rectangular walls above the wall index value of 1.0% nearly all walls assure at least life safety (LS) performance criteria. It is proposed that in the design of dual systems where frames and walls are connected by link and transverse beams, the minimum value of wall index should be greater than 0.6%, in order to prevent excessive damage to wall members.

Interaction between closely-spaced buildings subject to earthquake induced strong ground motions, termed in the literature as "seismic pounding", occurs commonly during major seismic events in contemporary congested urban environments. Seismic pounding is not taken into account by current codes of practice and is rarely considered in practice at the design stage of new buildings constructed "in contact" with existing ones. Thus far, limited research work has been devoted to quantify the influence of slab-to-slab pounding on the inelastic seismic demands at critical locations of structural members in adjacent structures that are not aligned in series. In this respect, this paper considers a typical case study of a "new" reinforced concrete (R/C) EC8-compliant, torsionally sensitive, 7-story corner building constructed within a block, in bi-lateral contact with two existing R/C 5-story structures with same height floors. A non-linear local plasticity numerical model is developed and a series of non-linear time-history analyses is undertaken considering the corner building "in isolation" from the existing ones (no-pounding case), and in combination with the existing ones (pounding case). Numerical results are reported in terms of averages of ratios of peak inelastic rotation demands at all structural elements (beams, columns, shear walls) at each storey. It is shown that seismic pounding reduces on average the inelastic demands of the structural members at the lower floors of the 7-story building. However, the discrepancy in structural response of the entire block due to torsion-induced, bi-directionally seismic pounding is substantial as a result of the complex nonlinear dynamics of the coupled building block system.
