The seismic performance and failure modes of the dual system of moment resisting frames and thin steel plate shear walls (TSPSWs) without and with one or two outrigger trusses are studied in this paper. These structural systems were utilized to resist vertical and lateral loads of 40-storey buildings. Detailed Finite element models associated with nonlinear time history analyses were used to examine seismic capacity and plastic mechanism of the buildings. The analyses were performed under increased levels of earthquake intensities. The models with one and two outriggers showed good performance during the maximum considered earthquake (MCE), while the stress of TSPSWs in the model without outrigger reached its ultimate value under this earthquake. The best seismic capacity was in favour of the model with two outriggers, where it is found that increasing the number of outriggers not only gives more reduction in lateral displacement but also reduces stress concentration on thin steel plate shear walls at outrigger floors, which caused the early failure of TSPSWs in model with one outrigger.

The goal of this study is to conceptually orientate optimized layouts of outrigger belt trusses which are in widespread use today in the design of tall buildings by strut-and-tie truss models utilizing a topology optimization method. In this study unknown strut-and-tie models are realized by using a typical SIMP method of topology optimization methods. In tradition strut-and-tie model designs find the appropriate strut-and-tie trusses along force paths with respect to elastic stress distribution, and then engineers or designers determine the most proper truss models by experience and intuition. It is linked to a trial-and-error procedure based on heuristic strategies. The presented strut-and tie model design by using SIMP provides that belt truss models are automatically and robustly produced by optimal layout information of struts-and-ties conforming to force paths without any trial-and-error. Numerical applications are studied to verify that outrigger belt trusses for tall buildings are optimally chosen by the proposed method for both static and dynamic responses.

This study presents conceptual information of newly optimized shapes and connectivity of the so-called outrigger truss system for modern tall buildings that resists lateral loads induced by wind and earthquake forces. In practice, the outrigger truss consists of triangular or Vierendeel types to stiffen tall buildings, and the decision of outrigger design has been qualitatively achieved by only engineers' experience and intuition, including information of structural behaviors, although outrigger shapes and the member's connectivity absolutely affect building stiffness, the input of material, construction ability and so on. Therefore the design of outrigger trusses needs to be measured and determined according to scientific proofs like reliable optimal design tools. In this study, at first the shape and connectivity of an outrigger truss system are visually evaluated by using a conceptual design tool of the classical topology optimization method, and then are quantitatively investigated with respect to a structural safety as stiffness, an economical aspect as material quantity, and construction characteristics as the number of member connection. Numerical applications are studied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design process to generate a new shape and connectivity of the outrigger for both static and dynamic responses.

본 논문에서는 초고층 전단벽-골조 아웃리거 구조시스템의 지진하중에 대한 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 전단벽과 골조를 전단변형과 휨변형이 모두 고려된 (티모센코) 보 이론을 기본으로 하여 개발되었으며, 개발된 해석모델은 일차원 유한요소로 정식화되어 다양한 수치해석 예제들의 거동 분석을 하였다. 해석모델은 아웃리거 트러스의 강성을 회전 스프링 강성으로 치환하여 적용한 것으로 아웃리거 트러스의 형태나 위치에 의한 구조물의 거동 효과를 쉽게 알 수 있다. 앞선 연구를 바탕으로 전단벽-골조 시스템과 전단벽-골조에 아웃리거 시스템을 결합한 건물의 지진해석모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 전단벽-골조 구조는 전단벽과 골조의 전단변형과 휨병형을 동시에 고려한 해석모델을 기반으로 하였으며, 아웃리거 트러스의 강성 해석 역시 전단변형과 휨변형을 모두 고려한 해석 모델을 기반으로 지진해석모델을 개발하였다. 개발되어진 해석 모델의 정확성을 입증하기 위해서 3차원 해석 프로그램인 MIDAS GEN을 이용하여 그 해석결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 초고층건물의 초기설계단계에서 많은 시간이 소요되는 지진하중에 대한 시간이력해석을 효율적이며 또한 비교적 정확히 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents the determination of the structural system of the Changsha IFC T1 tower with 452 m in architectural height and 440.45 m in structural height. Sensitivity analyses are carried out by varying the location of belt trusses and outriggers. The enhancement of seismic capacity of the outer frame by reasonably adjusting the column size is confirmed based on parametric studies. The results from construction simulation including the non-load effect of structures demonstrate that the deformation of vertical members has little effect on the load-bearing capacity of belt trusses and outriggers. The elastoplastic time-history analysis shows that the overall structure under rare earthquake load remains in an elastic state. The influence of the frame shear ratio and frame overturning moment ratio on the proposed model and equivalent mega column model is investigated. It is found that the frame overturning moment ratio is more applicable for judging the resistance of the outer frame against lateral loads. Comparison is made on the variation of these two effects between a classical frame-core tube-outrigger structure and a structure with diagonal braces between super columns under rare earthquakes. The results indicate that plasticity development of the top core cube of the braced structure may be significantly improved.

HSA800은 건축구조용 고성능 강재로서 KS규격에 항복강도 650MPa-770MPa, 인장강도 800MPa-950MPa를 가지며 항복비(항복강도/인장강도) 또한 0.85이하로 제한되어있으며 TMCP 기법으로 제조되어 뛰어난 용접성을 나타내는 특징이 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 최초의 초고층 빌딩인 롯데월드타워의 메가 구조부재를 대상으로 고강도 강재 적용시 구조물 안전성의 변동사항 및 시공성 개선 등을 검토하여 경제적 설계를 위한 대안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 대상 부재로는 아웃리거 코어월 매립부 상/하현재, 벨트트러스, 외곽 철골기둥이 선정되었다. 원설계 단면을 등가 도강도 강재 단면으로 환산하여 두께를 결정한 후 중력저항모델, 횡력저항모델, 연쇄붕괴 모델을 구조해 석시뮬레이션을 통하여 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 횡강성에 영향을 주지 않는 부재는 고강도 강재 적용이 가능하며 원설계 대비 약 1100톤의 물량 절감 효과가 있었다. 따라서, 고강도 강재를 사용하면 부재 두께를 줄일 수 있으므로 부재 제작성 및 시공성이 향상될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
