본 연구에서는 굽힘-비틀림 커플링(bend-twist coupled, BTC) 설계개념을 적용한 10 MW급 복합재 풍력 블레이드의 구조 최적 설계를 수행하였다. BTC 설계개념은 동적 하중 상황에서 블레이드의 굽힘과 비틀림 거동 사이의 연동을 유도하여, 단면 받음각 변화에 의한 수동적인 적응 하중저감이 가능하다. 인자연구를 통해 최적의 BTC 설계인자를 추출하여 블레이드 구조설계에 적용하였다. BTC 개념이 동적 하중 감소에 미치는 영향을 가늠하기 위해 블레이드 루트 부에서의 피로등가하중을 계산한 결과, BTC 개념이 적용된 블레이드를 적용한 경우 피로등가하중이 2-3% 정도 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. BTC 효과를 시험적으로 검증하기 위해 1:29 비율의 블레이드 stiffener 축소모델을 제작하였으며, 정하중 시험을 통해 처짐 거동 시 끝단에서의 비틀림을 측정하였다.

A simplified approach of assessing torsionally balanced (TB) and torsionally unbalanced (TU) low-medium rise buildings of up to 30 m in height is presented in this paper for regions of low-to-moderate seismicity. The Generalised Force Method of Analysis for TB buildings which is illustrated in the early part of the paper involves calculation of the deflection profile of the building in a 2D analysis in order that a capacity diagram can be constructed to intercept with the acceleration-displacement response spectrum diagram representing seismic actions. This approach of calculation on the planar model of a building which involves applying lateral forces to the building (waiving away the need of a dynamic analysis and yet obtaining similar results) has been adapted for determining the deflection behaviour of a TU building in the later part of the paper. Another key original contribution to knowledge is taking into account the strong dependence of the torsional response behaviour of the building on the periodic properties of the applied excitations in relation to the natural periods of vibration of the building. Many of the trends presented are not reflected in provisions of major codes of practices for the seismic design of buildings. The deflection behaviour of the building in response to displacement controlled (DC) excitations is in stark contrast to behaviour in acceleration controlled (AC), or velocity controlled (VC), conditions, and is much easier to generalise. Although DC conditions are rare with buildings not exceeding 30 m in height displacement estimates based on such conditions can be taken as upper bound estimates in order that a conservative prediction of the displacement profile at the edge of a TU building can be obtained conveniently by the use of a constant amplification factor to scale results from planar analysis.

고층건물에서의 전단벽(剪斷壁)은 횡하중을 지지(支持)하기 위해서 설치되는 구조물이다. 이 전단벽(剪斷壁)의 단면의 형태는 여러 가지 형태가 있을 수 있는데 개방단면을 갖게 되는 경우 이 부재는 비틀림에 약하기 때문에 이 점이 문제가 된다. 특히 그 구조물이 thin walled member인 경우는 더욱 그러하다. 최근에는 건물이 점점 고층화됨에 따라 이 문제는 더욱더 중요(重要)시 되어 보다 정확한 지식이 요구(要求)되고 있다. 본 논문(論文)에서는 고층건물에 설치되는 에리베이터 츄브가 전단벽 역할을 하는 경우로 단면의 형태는 channel형이고, 각 층마다 중방(中枋)(connecting beam)에 의해서 개방단면의 일부가 닫혀있게 되는 경우의 문제를 택하였다. 이를 해석(解析)하는데 복잡한 계산과 많은 계산량을 줄이고 적용에 대한 융통성을 부여하기 위해서 discrete 방법(方法)과 transfer matrix method을 사용(使用)하였다. 중방(中枋)의 영향을 고려함에 있어서는 중방(中枋)의 강도가 클 때나 적을 때나 합리적(合理的)으로 사용할 수 있는 식(式)을 적용하였다. 특히 이 방법(方法)은 불규칙한 변단면에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있을뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 하중조건에 대한 해를 일일이 구할 필요가 없으며, 형성되는 transfer matrix의 크기가 $4{\times}4$ 밖에 안되므로 쉽게 구할 수 있다.

최근, 국내에서는 물량절감과 경제성 확보를 목적으로 변단면 부재의 적용이 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 재료비선형을 이용한 설계방법으로는 취성파괴의 문제점에 대한 명확한 해결책을 제시하지 못하고 있으며, 변단면 부재의 초기변형, 폭두께비, 웨브 스티프너, 횡지지 거리등에 관한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 연구된 이론식과 재료 및 기하 비선형 해석으로 신뢰성이 입증된 범용 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ANSYS 9.0을 이용하여 춤이 큰 변단면 H형 보의 해석 모델을 완성하고 실험결과를 바탕으로 판-폭두께비와 비지지거리를 주요변수로 좌굴 및 극한내력을 평가하여, 웨브의 판폭두께비가 클 경우 좌굴내력이 감소하며, 횡 비지지 거리를 짧게 할 경우 연성능력을 향상시킬수 있음을 확인 하였다.

Irregularities of a building in plan and elevation, which results in the change in stiffness on different floors highly affect the seismic performance and resistance of a structure. This study motivated to investigate the seismic responses of high-rise steel-frame buildings of twelve stories with various stiffness irregularities. The building has five spans of 3200 mm distance in both X- and Z-directions in the plan. The design package SAP2000 was adopted for the design of beams and columns and resulted in the profile IPE500 for the beams of all floors and box sections for columns. The column cross-section dimensions vary concerning the number of the story; one to three: 0.50×0.50×0.05m, four to seven: 0.45×0.45×0.05 m, and eight to twelve: 0.40×0.40×0.05 m. Real recorded ground accelerations obtained from the Vrancea earthquake in Romania together with dead and live loads corresponding to each story were considered for the applied load. The model was validated by comparing the results of the current method and literature considering a three-bay steel moment-resisting frame of eight-story height subject to seismic load. To investigate the seismic performance of the buildings, the time-history analysis was performed using ABAQUS. Deformed shapes corresponding to negative and positive peaks were provided followed by the story drifts and fragility curves which were used to examine the probability of collapse of the building. From the results, it was concluded that regular buildings provided a seismic performance much better than irregular buildings. Furthermore, it was observed that building with torsional irregularity was more vulnerable to seismic failure.

To avoid irregularities in buildings, design codes worldwide have introduced detailed guidelines for their check and rectification. However, the criteria used to define and identify each of the plan and vertical irregularities are specific and may vary between codes of different countries, thus making their implementation difficult. This short communication paper proposes a novel approach for quantifying different types of structural irregularities using a common parameter named as unified identification factor, which is exclusively defined for the columns based on their axial loads and tributary areas. The calculation of the identification factor is demonstrated through the analysis of rectangular and circular reinforced concrete models using ETABS v18.0.2, which are further modified to generate plan irregular (torsional irregularity, cut-out in floor slab and non-parallel lateral force system) and vertical irregular (mass irregularity, vertical geometric irregularity and floating columns) models. The identification factor is calculated for all the columns of a building and the range within which the value lies is identified. The results indicate that the range will be very wide for an irregular building when compared to that with a regular configuration, thus implying a strong correlation of the identification factor with the structural irregularity. Further, the identification factor is compared for different columns within a floor and between floors for each building model. The findings suggest that the value will be abnormally high or low for a column in the vicinity of an irregularity. The proposed factor could thus be used in the preliminary structural design phase, so as to eliminate the complications that might arise due to the geometry of the structure when subjected to lateral loads. The unified approach could also be incorporated in future revisions of codes, as a replacement for the numerous criteria currently used for classifying different types of irregularities.

This study examined the structural behaviors and ultimate loads of assembled system scaffolds by load tests. Considering the number of bay and bracing installation, four specimens were tested. The bays were divided into 1 bay and 2 bays, with and without the bracing member installed. Failure modes and horizontal displacements show that the whole column buckled without showing no point of inflection in the column, regardless of whether or not braces were installed. Thus, the current design method of selecting the vertical spacing between the horizontal members of the system scaffold as the effective buckling length underestimates the effective buckling length. In case of 1 bay specimens, the ultimate loads between specimens with and with bracing members are similar. However, in case of 2 bay specimens, the specimen with bracing members shows the increased ultimate load of 36% compared with that without bracing members. In addition, as the number of bays in the system scaffold increases, the ultimate load of the unit vertical column increases in case of the specimen with bracing installation. However, in the specimen without bracing members, the ultimate load of the unit column reduces with the increment of the number of bays due to the torsional buckling. Therefore, it is essential to install bracing members to increase the whole strength of system scaffolds and the ultimate load of the unit column.

The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only from the variability of the pertinent provisions in various modern codes but also from conflicting results debated in the literature. Most of the conducted research on this problem has been based on very simplified, highly idealized models of eccentric one-story systems, with single or double eccentricity and with load bearing elements of the shear beam type, sized only for earthquake action. Initially, elastic models were used but were gradually replaced by inelastic models, since building response under design level earthquakes is expected to be inelastic. Code provisions till today have been based mostly on results from one-story inelastic models or on results from elastic multistory idealizations. In the past decade, however, more accurate multi story inelastic building response has been studied using the well-known and far more accurate plastic hinge model for flexural members. On the basis of such research some interesting conclusions have been drawn, revising older views about the inelastic response of buildings based on one-story simplified model results. The present paper traces these developments and presents new findings that can explain long lasting controversies in this area and at the same time may raise questions about the adequacy of code provisions based on results from questionable models. To organize this review better it was necessary to group the various publications into a number of subtopics and within each subtopic to separate them into smaller groups according to the basic assumptions and/or limitations used. Capacity assessment of irregular buildings and new technologies to control torsional motion have also been included.
