This study presented the seismic performance of weir structures with infinite foundations subjected to seismic ground motions, rather than finite soil foundation to avoid the reflection of seismic wave propagation at the mesh boundaries. The analytical model of weir structures was developed in ABAQUS　platform and then the seismic performance of concrete weir structure was evaluated through design response spectrum (KBC 2009). It was revealed that the maximum stresses obtained from infinite models was significantly increased, in comparison to the finite models.

This study assesses the adequacy of a critical value of the FEMA 273 for beams utilized in the present performance-based design. From the comparison the critical values of FEMA 273 with those of previous experimental result about beams, it was shown that FEMA 273 underestimated the critical values. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a research to find the hysteresis model for the performance-based design considering the hysteretic behavior of domestic reinforced concrete members.

In this paper, performance based design method was applied to the special shear wall system to verify the cost effective approach of the method. Linear dynamic analysis, inelastic dynamic analysis and inelastic static analysis are used to analyze for comparing to the strength-based design method in economic performance. Simulation result shows that was shown the construction cost savings was achieved by reducing the amount of reinforcement steel when applying the performance based design method.

The purpose of this study is to apply performance-based seismic design guideline to high-rise shear wall building. According to PEER TBI Guideline, the building is evaluated whether it satisfies the performance objectives which is to be capable of elastic response under Service Level shaking having a return period of 43years and to withstand Maximum Considered Earthquake shaking with prevention collapse.

In the research, there were seismically strengthened reinforced concrete composite columns by applying Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites(SHCC). The seismic performance of SHCC-RC composite columns were studied by the concepts of seismic performance-based design approaches as well as with experiments.

본 연구는 LB-DECK의 합성 전과 후 적절한 설계방법을 적용하기 위하여 PBD의 기초 개념에 근거하여 성능향상을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 합성 전 폴리머 콘크리트를 활용함에 따라 휨 인장강도를 증가시켜 미세균열을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 심미적인 효과를 기대할 수 있고, 낮은 침투성으로 인하여 내구성을 향상시키고, 이에 따른 피복두께를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 합성 후 경험적 설계법을 적용한 LB-DECK 바닥판은 일반적인 바닥판보다 하중 저항능력이 우수하여 안전성이 증가되며, 강도설계법 적용시와 달리 지간이 증가되어도 철근배근방법과 철근배근량이 일정하기 때문에 시공성과 경제성을 동시에 확보할 것으로 기대된다.

This study examines whether the reinforcement theory would be effectively applied to teaching assistant robots between a robot and a student in the same way as it is applied to teaching methods between a teacher and a student. Participants interact with a teaching assistant robot in a 3 (types of robots: positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement vs. both reinforcements) by 2 (types of participants: honor students vs. backward students), within-subject experiment. Three different types of robots, such as ‘Ching-chan-ee’ which gives ‘positive reinforcement’, ‘Um-bul-ee’ which gives ‘negative reinforcement’, and ‘Sang-bul-ee’ which gives both ‘positive and negative reinforcement’ are designed based on the reinforcement theory and the token reinforcement system. Participants’ task performance and reaction rate are measured according to the types of robots and the types of participants. In task performance, the negative reinforcement robot is more effective than the other two types, but regarding the number of stimulus, the less the stimulus is, the more effective the task performance is. Also, participants showed the highest reaction rate on the negative reinforcement robot which implies that the negative reinforcement robot is most effective to motivate students. The findings demonstrate that the participants perceive the teaching assistant robot not as a toy but as a teaching assistant and the reinforcement interaction is important and effective for teaching assistant robots to motivate students. The results of this study can be implicated as an effective guideline to interaction design of teaching assistant robots.
