Current seismic design codes for building structures are based on the methods which can provide enough capacity to satisfy objected performance level and exactly evaluate the seismic performance of buildings. This paper is to suggest the method of inference of inelastic earthquake response obtained from MDOF system by equivalent SDOF system, and to prove the validity. The analysis results form simple model shows a good application possibility.

This research presents the design and numerical assessment of composite steel-concrete frame structures with welded dissipative fuses. The assessment has been carried out based on linear response spectrum, nonlinear static pushover and time history procedures. The analytical expressions which define the envelope of the nonlinear response of the dissipative fuses are first presented and calibrated against experimental results available in literature. The assessment is then carried out according to a design methodology proposed herein. Outcomes of the numerical assessment indicate that the use of welded dissipative fuses successfully limited damage within the replaceable parts. Furthermore, although structures with dissipative fuses present lower strength and, generally, lower displacement capacity, their displacement ductility and global dissipative performance are generally higher than conventional structures, especially when the structure with dissipative fuses presents a dissipative configuration adjusted to the bending moment distribution diagram calculated for the applied seismic action.

Besides the complex instructions of guidance documents for seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, some institutions have provided simple criteria in terms of simplified rehabilitations. ASCE 41-06 is one of documents that introduced a simple method for assessment of certain buildings that do not require advanced analytical procedures. Furthermore the New Zealand guideline has presented a simple lateral mechanism analysis that is a hand static analysis for determining the probable collapse mechanism, lateral strength and displacement capacity of the structure. The present study is focused on verifying the results of the simplified methods which is used by NZSEE and ASCE 41-06 in assessment of existing buildings. For this, three different special steel moment and braced frames are assessed under these two guidelines and the accuracy of the results is checked with the results of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis. After comparison of obtained results, suggestions are presented to improve seismic retrofit criteria.

In this paper the attention is focused on the modeling of reinforced concrete(R/C) wall structures to check effectiveness and reliability of elasto-plastic analysis. A relatively simple and reliable wall model is investigated, which is suitable to be efficiently incorporated in a practical pushover analysis of R/C wall structural systems. Two types of analogous frames have been examined to the stress analysis of shear walls. One analogous frame is similar to the widely used wide-column model, the second analogous frame also is called truss model which includes vertical edge column and braces. Further studies are needed to apply to nonlinear seismic analysis of building structure with R/C shear walls.

The Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) was first introduced in the 1970's as rapid evaluation procedure. The procedure compares the capacity of the structure (in the form of a pushover curve) with the demands on the structure (in the form of a response spectrum). The graphical intersection of the two curves approximates the response of the structure. In order to account for nonlinear inelastic behavior of the structural system, effective ductility ratios(μ) are applied to the elastic-linear response spectrum to imitate an inelastic response spectrum. CSM in ATC-40 has deficiencies such as performance point does not converge and the peak deformation of inelastic systems is to be inaccurate when compared against results of nonlinear response history analysis. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the variation of performance points of Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) are investigated with respect to the different sets of earthquake ground motions. The earthquake sets were used in this study selected by Miranda(1993), Riddell(1991), Seed et al. (1976).

This paper investigates seismic performance of a small-sized single story building in Korea. Nonlinear pushover anlaysis is performed to verify shear failure of RC short columns eventually led to performance degradation. Also, nonlinear time history analysis is performed using the same earthquakes from Gyeongju. Similar failure mode was obtained as in the report where a sudden rupture of the RC columns happened.

The purpose of this study is to model the seismic behavior of Welded Unreinforced Flange and Bolted (WUF-B) connections with post-Northridge details and evaluate the system performance of the builidings with WUF-B connections. For this purpose, based on test results, mathematical model of the connections were developed and compared with test results. This connection model take into account both panel zone deformation and connection fractures. Then, SAC Phase II 3 and 9-story buildings were modeled using the connection model developed in this study. From nonlinear static pushover analysis of the buildings, maximum strength, maximum roof drift, and so forth are investigated for the buildings with post-Northridge details. Analysis results were compared with those of buildings with pre-Northridge details and ductile connections with no fractures.

This study aims to investigate the capacity of different models to reproduce the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete framed structures. To accomplish this goal, a combined experimental and analytical research program was carried out on a large scaled reinforced concrete frame. Analyses were performed by SAP2000 and compared to experimental and VecTor2 results. Models made in SAP2000 differ in the simulation of the plasticity and the type of the frame elements used to discretize the frame structure. The results obtained allow a better understanding of the characteristics of all numerical models, helping the users to choose the best approach to perform nonlinear analysis.

최근 건물형상의 다양화로 인하여 수직부재의 불규칙성이 빈번하게 발생하면서 전통적인 보-기둥 형식의 골조에서 변형된 보와 기둥의 특징을 공유하고 있는 경사기둥의 사용빈도가 높아지고 있다. 현재 국내에서 사용하고 있는 내진설계방법은 강도에 근거를 둔 설계법으로서 구조물이 탄성상태에서 저항해야 하는 부재력에 근거하고 있다. 그러나 기준에서 규정하고 있는 또는 그 이상의 지진하중이 구조물에 가해지는 경우에 구조물은 비선형 거동을 하게 되는데 구조물이 비선형 거동을 할 때에는 탄성상태와는 다른 힘의 흐름을 나타내게 된다. 본 논문에서는 12층 철골 모멘트 골조 구조물에 대하여 횡력에 저항하는 정형화된 골조와 경사기둥을 이용한 골조의 내진성능 및 비선형 거동을 조사하였다. 그 결과 강기둥-약보로 설계된 정형화된 구조물에서는 보의 소성힌지가 계속적으로 발달하면서 구조물이 저항하는데 반하여 경사기둥을 가진 구조물은 비탄성 상태에서 경사기둥에 인접한 기둥부재로 하중이 집중되면서 정형골조에 비하여 붕괴 메카니즘이 훨씬 작은 변위에서 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.
