In this study the progressive collapse potential of special concentrically braced frames were investigated using the nonlinear static. All of seven different brace types were considered. According to the pushdown analysis results, most braced frames designed according to current design codes satisfied the design guidelines for progressive collapse initiated by loss of a first story mid-column; however most model structures showed brittle failure mode. This was caused by buckling of columns after compressive braces buckled. Among the braced frames considered, the inverted-V type braced frames showed superior ductile behavior during progressive collapse.

Structures are designed in such a way that they behave in a nonlinear manner when subject to strong ground motions. Energy concepts have been widely used to evaluate the structural performance for the last few decades. Energy based design can be expressed as the balance of energy input and the energy dissipation capacity of the structure. New research is needed for multi degree of freedom systems (MDOFs)-real structures- within the framework of the energy based design methodology. In this paper, energy parameters are evaluated for low-, medium- and high-rise steel special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) in terms of total energy input and hysteretic energy. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are carried out to assess the variation of energy terms along the height of the frames. A seismic energy demand spectrum is developed and hysteretic energy distributions within the frames are presented.

In this paper, seismic provisions related to built-up special concentrically braced frames (BSCBFs) are investigated under cyclic loading using non-linear finite element analysis of a single-bay single-story frame. These braces, which contain double angle and double channel brace sections, are considered in two types of single diagonal and X-braced frames. The results of this study show that current seismic provisions such as observing the 0.4 ratio for slenderness ratio of individual elements between stitch connectors are conservative in BSCBFs, and can be increased according to the type of braces. Furthermore, such increments will lead to decreasing or remaining the current middle protected zone requirements of each BSCBFs. Failure results of BSCBFs, which are related to the plastic equivalent strain growth of members and ductility capacity of the models, show that the behaviors of double channel back-to-back diagonal braces are more desirable than those of similar face-to-face ones. Also, for double angle diagonal braces, results show that the failure of back-to-back BSCBFs occurs faster in comparison with face-to-face similar braces. In X-braced frames, cyclic and failure behaviors of built-up face-to-face models are more desirable than similar back-to-back braces in general.

여러 연구자들에 의해 최적화 알고리즘을 이용한 최적내진설계에 관한 연구가 컴퓨터의 발달과 더불어 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 지금까지의 최적내진설계에 관한 연구는 대부분 모멘트저항골조를 대상구조물로 한 연구였다. 가새골조는 모멘트저항골조와 더불어 대표적인 횡력저항시스템이기 때문에 가새골조의 최적내진설계기법 개발을 통해 경제적이며 효율적인 설계가이드라인을 제시할 수 있다면 실무에 미치는 파급효과는 클 것이라 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 가새의 좌굴을 고려한 역V형 특수중심가새골조의 최적내진설계 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 구조물의 물량과 에너지 소산량을 목적함수로 설정하고, 강도조건 및 층간변위 조건등의 제약조건으로 설정한다. 알고리즘의 검증을 위해 2D 3층, 9층 역V형 특수중심가새골조 예제를 적용한다.

For Special Concentrically Braced Frame (SCBF), it is common that the damage concentrates at a certain story instead of spreading over all stories. Once the damage occurs, the soft-story mechanism is likely to take place and possibly to result in the failure of the whole system with more damage accumulation. In this study, we use a strongback column which is an additional structural component extending along the height of the building, to redistribute the excessive deformation of SCBF and activate more structural members to dissipate energy and thus avoid damage concentration and improve the seismic performance of SCBF. We tested one-third-scaled, three-story, double-story X SCBF specimens with static cyclic loading procedure. Three specimens, namely S73, S42 and S0, which represent different combinations of stiffness and strength factors ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ for the strongback columns, were designed based on results of numerical simulations. Specimens S73 and S42 were the specimens with the strongback columns, and S0 is the specimen without the strongback column. Test results show that the deformation distribution of Specimen S73 is more uniform and more brace members in three stories perform nonlinearly. Comparing Drift Concentration Factor (DCF), we can observe 29% and 11% improvement in Specimen S73 and S42, respectively. This improvement increases the nonlinear demand of the third-story braces and reduces that of the first-story braces where the demand used to be excessive, and, therefore, postpones the rupture of the first-story braces and enhances the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the whole SCBF system.

In this study, alternative seismic force-resisting systems for plant structure supporting equipment were designed, and the seismic performance thereof was compared using nonlinear dynamic analysis. One alternative seismic force-resisting system was designed per the requirement for ordinary moment-resisting and concentrically braced frames but with a reduced base shear. The other seismic force-resisting system was designed by accommodating seismic details of intermediate and unique moment-resisting frames and special concentrically braced frames. Different plastic hinge models were applied to ordinary and ductile systems based on the validation using existing test results. The control model obtained by code-based flexible design and/or reduction of base shear did not satisfy the seismic performance objectives, but the alternative structural system did by strengthened panel zones and a reduced effective buckling length. The seismic force to equipment calculated from the nonlinear dynamic analysis was significantly lower than the equivalent static force of KDS 41 17 00. The comparison of design alternatives showed that the seismic performance required for a plant structure could be secured economically by using performance-based design and alternative seismic-force resisting systems adopting minimally modified seismic details.

Nibellen structural system is a novel resilient bracing system based on the application of Bellville disks and Nitinol rods. The cyclic behavior of Nibellen assembly was obtained, and the design equations were developed based on the available literature. Seismic performance of the system was then studied analytically. Two groups of buildings with different lateral force resisting systems were designed and studied: one group with the Nibellen system, and the other with the special concentrically braced frame system. Each building group consisted of 5-, 10-, and 15-story buildings. The Design-Base-Event (DBE) and Maximum Considered Event (MCE) were considered as the seismic hazard, and a suite of seven ground motions were scaled accordingly for response history analyses. Finally, the resiliency of the buildings was studied by obtaining the functionality curve of the buildings before and after the seismic event. The construction cost of the 5-story building with Nibellen bracing system increased but the post-earthquake cost decreased significantly. The application of Nibellen system in the 10- and 15-story buildings reduced both the construction and repair costs, considerably. Resiliency of all the buildings was improved when Nibellen system was used as the lateral force resisting system.

본 논문에서는 비선형 정적해석 및 동적해석을 이용하여 가새골조의 연쇄붕괴 저항능력을 평가하였다. 모두 아홉 개의 서로 다른 가새 형태를 고려하였으며, 모멘트골조의 해석 결과와 비교하였다 비탄성 정적해석 결과에 따르면 현행 기준에 따라 설계된 저층 가새골조는 1층 중앙에 위치한 기둥이 제거될 경우 연쇄붕괴 저항성능 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으나 대부분 취성적인 파괴모드를 나타내었다. 특히 압축가새가 좌굴한 후 인장가새가 인장력을 발휘하기 전에 취약한 층의 기둥이 좌굴하는 것으로 나타냈다. Inverted-V형 가새골조의 경우가 가장 연성도 면에서 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 동적 해석 결과에 따르면 모든 가새골조는 중앙에 위치한 기둥이 제거될 경우 붕괴되지 않으며, 동일한 규모의 모멘트 저항골조에 비해 진동이나 처짐량이 작은 것으로 나타났다.

파괴모드는 저항력과 비탄성 변형 능력의 저하를 일으키는 균열이나 파단으로 귀결된다. 특수중심가새골조의 잠재적 파괴모드는 가새의 균열이나 파단, 가새나 거싯 플레이트의 순단면 파단, 거싯 플레이트용접의 균열, 볼트의 전단균열, 블록전단파단, 그리고 거싯 플레이트의 좌굴 등을 포함하고 있다. HSS 튜브가새는 특수중심가새골조에 자주 사용되고, 가새의 순단면 파단은 거싯 플레이트가 가새로 삽입되는 홈의 끝부분에 가새의 순단면을 통해 발생한다. 이 파괴모드는 인장파괴모드로 분류되고 급격한 강도저하와 취성적인 거동을 보인다. AISC 디자인 규준에선 순단면 보강을 요구하고 있다 (AISC 2001). 이 논문에서, 순단면 보강의 필요성에 대해 논의한다. 먼저, 미국 버클리대학교에서 수행됐던 순단면 파단실험을 유한요소모델을 이용한 이 실험의 모델링을 통해 소개한다. 실제 골조에서의 순단면 파단의 가능성을 조사하기 위해, 홈이 있는 중심가새골조를 유한요소법을 이용 모델링 하고, 인장지배의 근거리지진 이력을 적용시킨다. 이는 이력이 순단면 파단의 가장 중요한 인자라는 이전 해석 결과에서 기인한 것이다. 순단면 보강의 필요성과 인장지배의 근거리지진 이력의 영향에 대해 조사한다.

In Special Concentrically Braced Frames (SCBFs), vertical and horizontal components of the brace force must be resisted by column and beam, respectively but normal force component existing at the gusset plate-to-column and beam interfaces, creates out-of-plane action making distortion in column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate. It is a main concern in Hollow Structural Section (HSS) columns and beams where their webs and gusset plate are not in the same plane. In this paper, a new gusset plate passing through the HSS columns and beams, named as through gusset plate, is proposed to study the force transfer mechanism in such gusset plates of SCBFs compared to the case with conventional gusset plates. For this purpose, twelve SCBFs with diagonal brace and HSS columns and twelve SCBFs with chevron brace and HSS columns and beams are considered. For each frame, two cases are considered, one with through gusset plates and the other with conventional ones. Based on numerical results, using through gusset plates prevents distortion and out-of-plane deformation at HSS column and beam faces adjacent to the gusset plate helping the entire column and beam cross-sections to resist respectively vertical and horizontal components of the brace force. Moreover, its application increases energy dissipation, lateral stiffness and strength around 28%, 40% and 32%, respectively, improving connection behavior and raising the resistance of the normal force components at the gusset plate-to-HSS column and beam interfaces to approximately 4 and 3.5 times, respectively. Finally, using such through gusset plates leads to better structural performance particularly for HSS columns and beams with larger width-to-thickness ratio elements.
