A performance-based seismic design method for reinforced concrete building structures being developed in Japan is outlined. Technical and scientific background of the performance-based design philosophy as well as recently developed seismic design guidelines are is presented, in which maximum displacement response to design earthquake motion is used as the limit-state design criteria. A method of estimating dynamic response displacement of the structures based on static nonlinear analysis is described. A theoretical estimation of nonlinear dynamic response considering the characteristics of energy input to the system is described in detail, which may be used as the standard method in the new performance-based code. A desing philosophy not only satisfying the criteria but also evaluating seismic capacity of the structures is also introduced.

In this paper, the necessity of developing effective nondestructive testing and monitoring techniques for the evaluation of structural integrity and performance is described. The evaluation of structural integrity and performance is especially important when the structures and subject to abrupt external forces such as earthquake. A prompt and extensive inspection is required over a large area of earthquake-damaged zone. This evaluation process is regarded as a part of performance-based design. In the paper, nondestructive testing and monitoring techniques particularly for concrete structures are presented as methods for the evaluation of structural integrity and performance. The concept of performance-based design is first defined in the paper followed by the role of evaluation of structures in the context of overall performance=based design concept. Among possible techniques for the evaluation, nondestructive testing methods for concrete structures using radar and a concept of using fiber sensor for continuous monitoring of structures are presented.

본 연구에서는 건설 구조물에 사용되는 건설 자재 중 콘크리트 구조체에 전면 부착 시공되어 건축물의 내외부로부터 스며들거나 넘쳐흐르는 물을 막을 수 있는 차단마감재인 방수재료에 있어 가속 환경 조건 속의 지하 외벽에서의 방수 성능 설계의 일환으로 내진 성능 설계 가능성을 제안하고 그 품질검증 시험방법에 대해 검토하였다. 국내외 건설자재 내진설계 현황을 살펴보았을 때, 국내의 경우 아직까지 현행법상 건축 과정에서의 내진설계 규제는 있지만 자재에 대한 규제는 없어 내진용 제품군이 드물고 대부분 시공법에 의존하고 있는 상황이다. 국외의 경우 일본, 캐나다, 독일과 같이 비구조재에 내진성능을 부여한 다양한 건축자재가 개발되고 있음을 확일 할 수 있었고, 이러한 내진설계 개념은 앞장에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 지하 콘크리트 구조체에 전면접착 혹은 부분 부착되어 시공되는 선행 외방수재료에 있어 지진에 대한 보완 대응력을 가질 수 있다면 내진 설계된 구조체와 함께 누수 예방 및 방지 기술로서 그 적용성을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라의 경우 한정적인 대지조건으로 인해 고층 건축물의 수요가 증가하고 있으며 세계 각국을 포함한 국내의 지진 피해를 토대로 기존의 내진설계 기준은 강도설계법에서 성능기반설계법으로 적용되고 있다. 여기서 지진하중에 대응하는 구조물의 목표 성능수준을 각 부재의 비선형특성에 기반하여 만족하도록 설계하는 성능기반설계법 중에서도 목표성능수준을 변위에 맞추어 주어진 목표변위 이내로 응답이 제어될 수 있도록 설계하는 변위기반설계법을 다룬다. 특히 특수전단벽체 적용 연구자료를 구축하기 위해 두께 200mm를 갖는 22층 철근콘크리트 전단벽체구조에 대해 변위기반설계법을 토대로 내진성능 개선을 위한 내진성능 평가를 실시하고자 한다.

In order to understand the seismic performance of weir structure under seismic events, concrete weir structure with infinite foundations was modeled in ABAQUS. Additionally, this study conducted the three different design response spectra based on KBC 2009, ASCE 7-05, and EuroCode 8. The results from numerical analyses showed that the seismic behavior of weir structure subjected to seismic ground motions was sensitive to natural frequency and mass participation factors.

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.

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.

The Recent earthquake damage of surrounding countries is increasing, occurrence of frequent earthquakes in the country, thus, the interest about the seismic performance of the structure is increasing. Korea, was established in 2008 earthquake measures method, KBC2009 was also amended by design standards. KBC2009 based seismic design and seismic strengthening has become mandatory, Design of the building before the current seismic design standards must be satisfied in KBC2009. Therefore, ATC-40, FEMA-273 and seismic performance evaluation of Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation will conduct the seismic performance evaluation at the Previous design code building.

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.

This study proposed simplified design procedure of friction damper for enhancing structural seismic performance. Friction damper has a nonlinear characteristic as performing stick and slip motion. So that reason, design of friction damper is difficult. For easy design of damper, first, equivalent damping ratio of the friction damper is derived. Second, design procedure is proposed by the equivalent damping ratio. Finally, seismic performance of structure installed with the friction damper is verified by five earthquake data.
