Performance-based seismic design allows a structure to develop inelastic response during earthquakes. This modern seismic design requires more clearly defined levels of inelastic response. The ultimate deformation of a structure without total collapse (target displacement) is used to obtain the inelastic deformation capacity (inelastic performance). The inelastic performance of a structure indicates its performance under excitation. In this study, a new energy-based method to obtain the target displacement for reinforced concrete frames under cyclic loading is proposed. Concrete structures were analyzed using nonlinear static (pushover) analysis and cyclic loading. Failure of structures under cyclic loading was controlled and the new method was tested to obtain target displacement. In this method, the capacity energy absorption of the structures for both pushover and cyclic analyses were considered to be equal. The results were compared with FEMA-356, which confirmed the accuracy of the proposed method.

This study presents an efficient method for robust optimal design. In order to avoid the excessive evaluations of the exact performance functions, two-point diagonal quadratic approximation method is employed for approximating them during optimization process. This approximation method is one of the two point approximation methods. Therefore, the second order sensitivity information of the approximated performance functions are calculated by an analytical method. As a result, this enables one to avoid the expensive evaluations of the exact $2^{nd}$ derivatives of the performance functions unlike the conventional robust optimal design methods based on the gradient information. Finally, in order to show the numerical performance of the proposed method, one mathematical problem and two mechanical design problems are solved and their results are compared with those of the conventional methods.

In the Building Act, performance-based fire safety design is being promoted for institutionalization. The behavior of the structure against fire conditions can be predicted by using the advanced numerical analysis method based on the FEM (Finite Element Method) to predict the entire structural behavior including the behavior of the structure, but there is a limit to expressing the fire properties of the space and predicting the fire properties It is difficult to determine the variables to be transmitted to the FEM (Finite Element Method) model from the fire simulation results using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to introduce the code user's manual for FDS and FEM unidirectional coupling analysis.

Earthquake resistance design has been developed many countries like Japan, USA, Mexico, New Zealand etc., which countries have experienced many earthquakes. Nowadays, earthquake resistance design has come into worldwide use. In Korea, the seismic design regulations have been established since 1988 in order to minimize the economic losses. Recently performance based design method has been adopted as a new Earthquake resistance design method. These regulations, however, are targeted for newly constructed buildings, In Korea, there are no regulations for existing buildings that built before 1988. On the other hand, in Japan and USA, the seismic performance evaluation is coded. In Japan, the evaluation index which can measure seismic performance has been made. So, we need to prepare the regulations that evaluate the seismic performance, furthermore proper retrofitting design guideline needs to be proposed when remodeling old buildings. In this research, various seismic performance evaluation methods which are being used in Japan and USA are reviewed in order to establish seismic performance evaluation index for those existing old structures in Korea.

1995년 일본에서 발생한 고베지진으로 인하여 고베항에 대규모 피해가 발생하면서, 기존 내진설계 기준의 문제점이 제기됨에 따라 기존의 유사정적해석 및 허용응력 설계법으로는 Level II(규모 6.5) 수준의 지진에 대하여 항만 구조물 설계가 불가능한 사실이 지적되어 내진설계에 있어서 성능기반 설계법의 필요성이 대두되었다. 지진이 빈번한 일본 및 미국의 경우 항만시설에 대한 가장 선진화된 설계기준을 도입하여 적용하고 있으며, 기존 내진설계기준을 성능기반설계로 전환하였다. 1999년 이후 현재까지 국내 항만내진설계법은 내진설계가 필요한 시설과 이들의 내진등급에 대한 정의가 불명확한 점에 대해 연구를 통해 필요한 시설과 내진등급에 대한 정의를 확립하고 실험적 검증을 바탕으로 국내 실정에 부합한 성능기반 내진설계법을 확립하고 있는 단계이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 방파제의 성능기반 내진설계법은 원지반의 지표면에서의 가속도 시간이력을 고속 푸리에 변환(FFT) 후 방파제의 해당성능수준별 최대허용변위에 대응한 주파수 특성을 보정해주는 필터처리를 하였고, 필터 처리된 스펙트럼을 다시 가속도 시간이력으로 역변환(IFFT) 하여 가속도 최대값을 산정함으로써 변위를 고려한 등가정적해석을 위한 수평지진계수를 산정하였다. 또한 국내 지진 수준에 맞는 방파제의 성능기반 내진설계법의 검증을 위해서 실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다.

This study proposes a bi-directional buck-boost converter controller design method for ESS using the MATLAB SISO tool. The conventional two-loop controller design is based on a continuous S-domain model that designs each controller independently. The demerit of the conventional method is that optimal performance is not easily achieved and extensive trials and errors are required because two-loop systems interact with one another. Using the MATLAB SISO tool based on the design method proposed in this work overcomes the disadvantages of the conventional method. In the proposed method, the SISO tool can select the location of the poles and zeroes of the open loop system, thereby facilitating the effective design of a high-performance controller. The design sequence is detailed systematically, and the performance of the method is verified with a computer simulation and 10 kW experimental system.

This paper presents a fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller design method for Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC)-type Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model based fuzzy dynamic system with H$\infty$ performance and additional constraints on the closed pole placement. Design condition for these controller is obtained in terms of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed fuzzy controller satisfies the disturbance rejection performance and the desired transient response. The design method is verified by this method for an inverted pendulum with a cart using the proposed method.

This article details a bridge-specific fragility method developed to enhance the seismic design and resilience of bridges. Current seismic design processes provide guidance for the design of a bridge that will not collapse during a design hazard event. However, they do not provide performance information of the bridge at different hazard levels or due to design changes. Therefore, there is a need for a supplement to this design process that will provide statistical information on the performance of a bridge, beyond traditional emphases on collapse prevention. This article proposes a bridge-specific parameterized fragility method to enable efficient estimation of various levels of damage probability for alternative bridge design parameters. A multi-parameter demand model is developed to incorporate bridge design details directly in the fragility estimation. Monte Carlo simulation and Logistic regression are used to determine the fragility of the bridge or bridge component. The resulting parameterized fragility model offers a basis for a bridge-specific design tool to explore the influence of design parameter variation on the expected performance of a bridge. When used as part of the design process, these tools can help to transform a prescriptive approach into a more performance-based approach, efficiently providing probabilistic performance information about a new bridge design. An example of the method and resulting fragility estimation is presented.

In this study, a program for the off-design performance prediction of multi-stage axial-compressors is developed based on stage-stacking method. To account for the increased losses at off-design conditions, generalized performance curve is applied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the choice of generalized performance curve and stator exit angle. For this purpose, we tested various generalized performance curves and stator exit angles. In conclusion, Muir's pressure coefficient curve gives a good prediction results regardless of the efficiency curve for a low-stage compressors. On the other hand, for high-stage compressors, The combination of Muir's pressure coefficient curve and Stone's efficiency curve gives a optimistic results. Stator exit angle has a small effect on overall performance curve.

이 연구의 목적은 Bayesian 통계법을 통하여 얻어진 만족도 곡선을 활용하여 체계적으로 콘크리트 재료성능을 평가하고 배합설계를 하는 것이다. 단일변수 만족도 곡선은 콘크리트 성능기준을 만족할 확률을 콘크리트 재료변수 함수로서 나타낸다. 여러 개의 만족도 곡선을 결합해 하나의 만족도 곡선으로 나타내기 위하여 Importance Factor와 Goodness value라는 신규개념을 도입하여 서로 다른 재료변수들이 콘크리트성능에 미치는 영향을 정량화하고 서로 다른 재료변수들을 공통된 하나의 변수로 통합하는 것을 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 PBMD 과정에 의한 설계예제를 제시함으로써 목표지향적 콘크리트배합설계의 한 방법을 제시하고 그 유효성에 대해 증명하였다. 마지막으로, 실제 구조물에 대한 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 PBMD과정에 의한 콘크리트의 기대성능 결과값과 ACI 기준에 의한 결과값을 비교하였다.
