Responses of semi-rigid frames having different degrees of semi-rigidity obtained by the nonlinear static analysis (NSA) are evaluated at specific target displacements by comparing them with those obtained by the nonlinear time-history analysis (NTHA) for scaled earthquakes. The peak ground accelerations (PGA) of the earthquakes are scaled such that the obtained peak top story displacements match with the target displacements. Three different types of earthquakes are considered, namely, far-field and near-field earthquakes with directivity and fling-step effects. In order to make the study a comprehensive one, three degrees of semi-rigidity (one fully rigid and the other two semi-rigid), and two frames having different heights are considered. An ensemble of five-time histories of ground motion is included in each type of earthquake. A large number of responses are considered in the study. They include the peak top-story displacement, maximum inter-story drift ratio, peak base shear, total number of plastic hinges, and square root of sum of the squares (SRSS) of the maximum plastic hinge rotations. Results of the study indicate that the nonlinear static analysis provides a fairly good estimate of the peak values of top-story displacements, inter-story drift ratio (for shorter frame), peak base shear and number of plastic hinges; however, the SRSS of maximum plastic hinge rotations in semi-rigid frames are considerably more in the nonlinear static analysis as compared to the nonlinear time history analysis.

본 논문은 내진성능평가를 위해 사용되는 비탄성해석의 신뢰도와 정확도에 있어 결정적인 영향을 미치는 다양한 이력모델의 특성과 구조물의 내진거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 연구대상은 표준학교건물로서 외국의 지진 가속도와 우리나라 규준에 맞는 인공지진 가속도 3가지를 건물의 장 단변방향 평면골조에 가한 후, 다양한 이력 모델을 적용하여 2차원 시간이력해석을 수행하고 비탄성응답을 구하고 층전단력, 층간변위비, 층변위를 비교하고 힌지의 발생 상태를 분석해 이력모델이 건물의 비탄성거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 단변방향에서는 층전 단력과 층간변위비 모두 최대값은 수정다케다모델에서, 최소값은 외국지진에 대해서는 클라프모델, 국내지진에 대해서는 강성저감 삼선형모델과 수정다케다모델에서 각각 발생하는 것으로 평가되었다. 하지만, 장변방향에서 외국지진은 강성저감 삼선형모델이, 국내지진은 수정다케다모델이 최대 층전단력을 보였고 층간변위비는 최대값은 수정다케다 모델에서, 최소값은 외국지진의 경우 클라프모델에서, 국내지진의 경우 다케다모델에서 나타났다. 장변방향에서 외국지진은 층전단력와 층간변위가 클라프모델에서 안전율을 낮게 보는 반면 국내지진에서는 수정다케다모델이 안전율을 낮게 평가하는 상이한 결과가 발생했다.

This paper demonstrates the possibility of evaluating the safety of a building right after an earthquake using consumer-grade surveillance cameras installed in the building. Two cameras are used in each story to extract the time history of interstory drift during the earthquake based on camera calibration, stereo triangulation, and image template matching techniques. The interstory drift of several markers on the rigid floor are used to estimate the motion of the geometric center using the least square approach, then the horizontal interstory drift of any location on the floor can be estimated. A shaking table collapse test of a steel building was conducted to verify the proposed approach. The results indicate that the accuracy of the interstory drift measured by the cameras is high enough to estimate the damage state of the building based on the fragility curve of the interstory drift ratio. On the other hand, the interstory drift measured by an accelerometer tends to underestimate the damage state when residual interstory drift occurs because the low frequency content of the displacement signal is eliminated when high-pass filtering is employed for baseline correction.

본 논문에서는 편심코아를 가지는 저층 필로티 건물의 내진거동을 해석하고 결과를 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 저층 필로티 건물의 시공사례 중 KBC2005기준에 준하여 설계된 편심코어를 가지는 건물들의 설계자료를 수집하여, 대표적인 편심 필로티 건물을 프로토타입으로 선정하여 KDS41기준에 준하여 내진거동을 해석하고 결과를 분석하였다. 연구결과 편심코어를 가지는 필로티 건물의 경우 X방향은 소성거동, Y방향은 탄성거동을 하는 것으로 평가 되었다. 연구대상 건물의 층간 변위를 확인한 결과 최대변위 δ=67.51mm로 코어가 평면 중심에 위치하는 경우보다 층간 변위량이 더 큰 것으로 평가 되었다. 해석결과에서 층간 변위 비율은 법적 규준 이내인 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 변위 비율은 1층 필로티 구간이 2~4층 부분보다 확연히 높은 걸로 평가 되었으며, 저층 필로티 구조물의 경우 1층 라멘조 부분이 횡력에 취약한 것으로 평가되었다. 편심코어로 인하여 구조물 전체의 강성중심이 질량중심과 이격되어 있어 코어 반대쪽의 필로티 기둥에서 항복과 소성힌지 발생이 시작되므로 내진설계와 내진보강시 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 따라서, 편심코어를 가지는 저층 필로티 건물의 내진설계 및 내진보강시 필로티 구조의 횡변위 감소와 횡력저항능력을 보강할 필요가 있다.

Consideration of the panel zone (PZ) deformations in the analysis of steel moment frames (SMFs) has a substantial effect on structural response. One way to include the PZ effect on the structural response is Krawinkler's PZ model, which is one of the best and conventional models. However, modeling of Krawinkler's PZ model has its complexity, and finding an alternative procedure for PZ modeling is of interest. In this study, an efficient model is proposed to simplify Krawinkler's PZ model into an Adjusted Rigid-End Zone (AREZ). In this way, the rigid-end-zone dimensions of the beam and column elements are defined through an appropriate rigid-end-zone factor. The dimensions of this region depend on the PZ stiffness, beam(s) and columns' specifications, and connection joint configuration. Thus, to obtain a relationship for the AREZ model, which yields the dimensions of the rigid-end zone, the story drift of an SMF with Krawinkler's PZ model is equalized with the story drift of the same structure with the AREZ model. Then, the degree of accuracy of the resulting relationship is examined in several connections of generic SMFs. Also, in order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model in SMFs, several SMFs ranging from 3- to 30-story representing low- to high-rise buildings are examined through linear static and dynamic time history analysis. Furthermore, non-linear dynamic analyses of three SMFs conducted to validate the degree of accuracy of the proposed model in the non-linear analysis of SMFs. Analytical results show that there is considerable conformity between inter-story drift ratio (IDR) results of the SMFs with Krawinkler's PZ model and those of the centerline SMFs with AREZ.

This paper studied the prediction of structural damage indices to buildings after earthquake occurrence using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Fuzzy Linear Regression (FLR) methods. Particularly, the structural damage degree, represented by the Maximum Inter Story Drift Ratio (MISDR), is an essential factor that ensures the safety of the building. Thus, the seismic response of a steel building was evaluated, utilizing 65 seismic accelerograms as input signals. Among the several response quantities, the focus is on the MISDR, which expresses the postseismic damage status. Using MLR and FLR methods and comparing the outputs with the corresponding evaluated by nonlinear dynamic analyses, it was concluded that the FLR method had the most accurate prediction results in contrast to the MLR method. A blind prediction applying a set of another 10 artificial accelerograms also examined the model's effectiveness. The results revealed that the use of the FLR method had the smallest average percentage error level for every set of applied accelerograms, and thus it is a suitable modeling tool in earthquake engineering.

상부벽식-하부골조 구조(복합구조)는 일반적으로 전이층을 중심으로 상부는 주거공간의 전단벽식의 고층아파트이고 하부는 상업공간의 보-기등의 골조구조이다. 이러한 구조물은 구조형식의 특성상 강성비정형, 질량비정형, 기하학적 비정형 등 비정형 형태의 특징을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하부골조 구조물의 층수가 변화할 경우에 대해 복합 구조물의 비선형 거동특성과 내진성능을 파악하였다. 비선형 해석결과로부터 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 비선형 정적해석의 최상층변위각과 밑면전 단력계수로부터 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 구조물의 밑면전단력계수는 감소하였으나 최상층변위각은 증가하였다. 2) 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 상부벽식구조의 층간변위각과 소성율은 감소하였으며, 상부벽식은 탄성상태에 가까운 거동을 하였다. 3) 하부구조의 층수가 증가할 경우 하부구조에서 층간변위각이 집중적으로 증가하였다.

This paper represents results of an effort to seismically rehabilitate a 12-story nonductile reinforced concrete frame building. The frame located in the most severe seismic area, zone 4, is assumed to be designed and detailed for gravity load requirements only. Both pushover and nonlinear time-history analyses are carried out to determine strength, deformation capacity and the vulnerability of the building. The analysis indicates a drift concentration at the $1^{st}$ floor level due to inadequate strength and ductility capacity of the ground floor columns. The capacity curve of the structure, when superimposed on the average demand response spectrum for the ensemble of scaled earthquakes indicates that the structure is extremely weak and requires a major retrofit. The retrofit of the building is attempted using viscoelastic (VE) dampers. The dampers at each floor level are sized in order to reduce the elastic story drift ratios to within 1%. It is found that this requires substantially large dampers that are not practically feasible. With practical size dampers, the analyses of the viscoelastically damped building indicates that the damper sizes provided are not sufficient enough to remove the biased response and drift concentration of the building. The results indicate that VE-dampers alone are not sufficient to rehabilitate such a concrete frame. Concrete buildings, in general, being stiffer require larger dampers. The second rehabilitation strategy uses concrete shearwalls. Shearwalls increased stiffness and strength of the building, which resulted in reducing the drift significantly. The effectiveness of VE-dampers in conjunction with stiff shearwalls was also studied. Considering the economy and effectiveness, it is concluded that shearwalls were the most feasible solution for seismic rehabilitation of such buildings.

This study focused on the effectiveness of seismic isolation technique in case of a reinforced concrete structure with soft story defined as the stiffness irregularity between adjacent stories. In this context, a seismically isolated 3-story reinforced concrete structure was analyzed by gradually increasing the first story height (3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 m). The seismic isolation system of the structure is assumed to be composed of lead rubber bearings (LRB). In the analyses, isolators were modeled by both deteriorating (temperature-dependent analyses) and non-deteriorating (bounding analyses) hysteretic representations. The deterioration in strength of isolator is due to temperature rise in the lead core during cyclic motion. The ground motion pairs used in bi-directional nonlinear dynamic analyses were selected and scaled according to codified procedures. In the analyses, different isolation periods (Tiso) and characteristic strength to weight ratios (Q/W) were considered in order to determine the sensitivity of structural response to the isolator properties. Response quantities under consideration are floor accelerations, and interstory drift ratios. Analyses results are compared for both hysteretic representations of LRBs. Results are also used to assess the significance of the ratio between the horizontal stiffnesses of soft story and isolation system. It is revealed that seismic isolation is a viable method to reduce structural damage in structures with soft story.
