In this study, the seismic performance of concrete-steel composite moment frame structures equipped with seismic retrofitting systems such as seismic reinforcement, base isolators, and bracing members, which are typical earthquake damage mitigation systems, is evaluated through nonlinear dynamic analyses. A total of five frame models were designed and each frame model was developed for numerical analyses. A total of 80 ground acceleration data were used to perform the nonlinear dynamic analysis to measure ground shear force and roof displacement, and to evaluate the behavioral performance of each frame model by measuring inter-story drift ratios. The analysis results indicate that the retrofitting device of the base isolator make a significant contribution to generating relatively larger absolute displacement than other devices due to flexibility provided to interface between ground and column base. However, the occurrence of the inter-story drift ratio, which is a relative displacement that can detect the damage of the structure, is relatively small compared with other models. On the other hand, the seismic reinforced frame model enhanced with the steel plate at the lower part of the column was found to be the least efficient.

This study describes the development of innovative connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and super-elastic shape memory alloy components. The intent is to combine the recentering behavior provided by the shape memory alloys to reduce building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake with the excellent energy dissipation of the low-carbon steel. The analysis and design of structures requires that simple yet accurate models for the connection behavior be developed. The development of a simplified 2D spring connection model for cyclic loads from advanced 3D FE monotonic studies is described. The implementation of those models into non-linear frame analyses indicates hat the recentering systems will provide substantial benefits for smaller earthquakes and superior performance to all-welded moment frames for large earthquakes.

확률강우량은 수공구조물 설계와 도시방재를 위한 기준 등으로 활용되고 있어, 확률강우량의 산정은 매우 중요하다. 특히 소방방재청에서는 확 률강우량으로 우리나라 시·군 단위로 지역방재성능목표를 설정하고 이에 대한 방재성능평가 및 방재성능목표 달성을 위한 개발계획 수립 시 활용 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 시·군 단위로 설정되어 있는 목표 강우량을 구(區) 단위로 산정하고자 기상청의 지상기상관측지점(SSS, Surface Synoptic Stations)과 방재기상관측지점(AWS, Automatic Weather Stations)의 강우자료를 활용하여 지점빈도해석 및 지수홍수법을 이용한 지역빈도해석을 통해 지속시간 1시간, 2시간, 3시간 목표강우량을 산정하였다. 이는 서울지역의 지자체별 방재성능 평가 및 방재관련 업무에 참고 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 향후 방재성능목표 설정에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
