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.

For economical earthquake resistant design of cable-stayed bridge tower, the use of energy dissipation systems for the earthquake protection of steel structures represents an alternative seismic design method where the tower structure could be constructed to dissipate a large amount of earthquake input energy through inelastic deformations in certain positions, which could be easily retrofitted after damage. The design of energy dissipation systems for bridges could be achieved as the result of two conflicting requirements: no damage under serviceability limit state load condition and maximum dissipation under ultimate limit state load condition. A new concept for cable-stayed bridge tower seismic design that incorporates sacrificial link scheme of low yield point steel horizontal beam is introduced to enable the tower frame structure to remain elastic under large seismic excitation. A nonlinear dynamic analysis for the tower model with the proposed energy dissipation systems is carried out and compared to the response obtained for the tower with its original configuration. The improvement in seismic performance of the tower with supplemental passive energy dissipation system has been measured in terms of the reduction achieved in different response quantities. Obtained results show that the proposed energy dissipation system of low yield point steel seismic link could strongly enhance the seismic performance of the tower structure where the tower and the overall bridge demands are significantly reduced. Low yield point steel seismic link effectively reduces the damage of main structural members under earthquake loading as seismic link yield level decreases due their exceptional behavior as well as its ability to undergo early plastic deformations achieving the concentration of inelastic deformation at tower horizontal beam.

One of the next frontiers in structural wind engineering is the design of tall buildings using performance-based approaches. Currently, tall buildings are being designed using provisions in the building codes and standards to meet an acceptable level of public safety and serviceability. However, recent studies in wind and earthquake engineering have highlighted the conceptual and practical limitations of the code-oriented design methods. Performance-based wind design (PBWD) is the logical extension of the current wind design approaches to overcome these limitations. Towards the development of PBWD, in this paper, we systematically review the advances made in this field, highlight the research gaps, and provide a basis for future research. Initially, the anatomy of the Wind Loading Chain is presented, in which emphasis was given to the early works of Alan G. Davenport. Next, the current state of practice to design tall buildings for wind load is presented, and its limitations are highlighted. Following this, we critically review the state of development of PBWD. Our review on PBWD covers the existing design frameworks and studies conducted on the nonlinear response of structures under wind loads. Thereafter, to provide a basis for future research, the nonlinear response of simple yielding systems under long-duration turbulent wind loads is studied in two phases. The first phase investigates the issue of damage accumulation in conventional structural systems characterized by elastic-plastic, bilinear, pinching, degrading, and deteriorating hysteretic models. The second phase introduces methods to develop new performance objectives for PBWD based on joint peak and residual deformation demands. In this context, the utility of multi-variate demand modeling using copulas and kernel density estimation techniques is presented. This paper also presents joined fragility curves based on the results of incremental dynamic analysis. Subsequently, the efficiency of tuned mass dampers and self-centering systems in controlling the accumulation of damage in wind-excited structural systems are investigated. The role and the need for explicit modeling of uncertainties in PBWD are also discussed with a case study example. Lastly, two unified PBWD frameworks are proposed by adapting and revisiting the Wind Loading Chain. This paper concludes with a summary and a proposal for future research.

The seismic damage of non-structural components, such as communication facilities, causes direct economic losses as well as indirect losses which result from social chaos occurring with downtime of communication and financial management network systems. The current Korean seismic code, KBC2009, prescribes the design criteria and requirements of non-structural components based on their elastic response. However, it is difficult for KBC to reflect the dynamic characteristics of structures where non-structural components exist. In this study, both linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures with various analysis parameters were carried out and floor acceleration spectra obtained from analyses were compared with both ground acceleration spectra used for input records of the analyses and the design floor acceleration spectrum proposed by National Radio Research Agency. Also, this study investigates to find out the influence of structural dynamic characteristics on the floor acceleration spectra. The analysis results show that the acceleration amplification is observed due to the resonance phenomenon and such amplification increases with the increase of building heights and with the decrease of structure's energy dissipation capacities.

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.

Concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns have been widely used in moment resisting frame structures both in seismic zones. This paper discusses the design of such members based on the advanced methods introduced in the 2005 AISC Specification and the 2005 Seismic Provisions. This study focuses particularly on design following both linear and nonlinear methods utilizing equivalent static and dynamic loads for low-rise moment frames. The paper begins with an examination of the significance of pseudo-elastic design interaction equations and the plastic ductility demand ratios due to combined axial compressive force and bending moment in CFT members. Based on advanced computational simulations for a series of five-story composite moment frames, this paper then investigates both building performance and new techniques to evaluate building damage during a strong earthquake. It is shown that 2D equivalent static analyses can provide good design approximations to the force distributions in moment frames subjected to large inelastic lateral loads. Dynamic analyses utilizing strong ground motions generally produce higher strength ratios than those from equivalent static analyses, but on more localized basis. In addition, ductility ratios obtained from the nonlinear dynamic analysis are sufficient to detect which CFT columns undergo significant deformations.

최근 구조물의 국부적인 손상이 전체적인 붕괴로 이어지는 연쇄붕괴 현상에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 연쇄붕괴에 관한 기존의 연구는 대부분 해석변수의 불확실성을 포함하지 않는 확정론적인 방법이므로, 해석결과에 대한 신뢰도를 알 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 재료의 항복강도, 활하중의 크기, 감쇠비, 탄성계수 등치 설계변수들이 기둥이 제거됨에 따라 발생하는 수직변위에 영향을 미치는 민감도를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션, 일계이차법, 토네이도 다이어그램의 세 가지 해석기법을 적용하였다. 비선형정적 해석결과에 의하면 난수로 설정한 해석변수들 중에서 보의 항복강도가 수직변위의 변동폭이 가장 컸으며, 비선형동적해석의 경우 보의 항복강도와 감쇠비가 서로 유사한 변동폭을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

대부분 강구조 및 철근콘크리트 구조물은 탄소성 거동에 의해 극한강도가 지배된다. 비록 평상시에는 탄성 범위를 초과하는 진폭(振幅)이 발생하지 않지만 심각한 폭발이나 지진하중과 같은 극단적인 경우가 발생할 때, 엔지니어는 구조물에 영구적인 손상을 줄 수 있는 상황들을 접하게 된다. 이러한 상태 평가를 위해 본 연구는 폭발 등의 극한하중에 특성에 의해 발생되는 구조물의 동적거동을 분석하였다. 그리고 본 연구는 극한진동 특성을 분석하기 위해 비선형 유한요소프로그램(ATENA2D, FRANC2DL)을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 해석결과, 평상시와 횡하중시의 균열은 발생 위치와 양태가 매우 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 초기 손상균열이 있는 RC라멘의 보에 단면형상과 기하학적 형상비 변화를 고려하여 균열각의 변화를 분석하였으며 이를 통해 동적 횡하중 작용에 의한 피해여부를 판단할 수 있었다.

The aim of this research is to model the behaviour of recently developed high force to volume (HF2V) passive energy dissipation devices using a simple finite element (FE) model. Thus, the end result will be suitable for use in a standard FE code to enable computationally fast and efficient analysis and design. Two models are developed. First, a detailed axial model that models an experimental setup is created to validate the approach versus experimental results. Second, a computationally and geometrically simpler equivalent rotational hinge element model is presented. Both models are created in ABAQUS, a standard nonlinear FE code. The elastic, plastic and damping properties of the elements used to model the HF2V devices are based on results from a series of quasi-static force-displacement loops and velocity based tests of these HF2V devices. Comparison of the FE model results with the experimental results from a half scale steel beam-column sub-assembly are within 10% error. The rotational model matches the output of the more complex and computationally expensive axial element model. The simpler model will allow computationally efficient non-linear analysis of large structures with many degrees of freedom, while the more complex and physically accurate axial model will allow detailed analysis of joint connection architecture. Their high correlation to experimental results helps better guarantee the fidelity of the results of such investigations.

현재 많은 산업에서 구조물의 온도환경 유지를 위한 단열재로 폴리우레탄 폼이 사용되며, 수명 동안 정적 및 동적의 다양한 하중이 이에 부과된다. 폴리우레탄 폼은 고분자재료로써 다공성이며, 단열성능은 내부기공의 크기에 크게 의존한다. 또한, 폴리우레탄 폼의 기계적 거동은 변형률 속도 및 온도에 대한 의존성이 큰 동시에 압축에 대하여 큰 비선형 연성거동을 보인다. 이러한 비선형 연성 압축거동 중에 폴리우레탄 폼은 변형률의 증가에 따라 기공율과 탄성계수의 감소를 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상기 특성들을 포함한 폴리우레탄 폼의 변형률 속도 및 온도 의존 비선형 압축거동을 모사하기 위하여 온도 의존 손상 점소성 구성방정식이 개발되었다.
