In current seismic design code, steel moment frames are classified into ordinary, intermediate, and special moment frames. In the case of special moment frames which have large R-factor, economic design is possible by reducing the design lateral force. However, there is difficulty for practical application due to constraints such as strong column-weak beam requirement. This study evaluated if steel intermediate moment frame could maintain enough seismic capacity when the R-factor is increased from 4.5 to 6. As for the analytical models, steel moment frames of 3 and 5 stories were categorized into four performance groups according to seismic design category. Seismic performances of the frames were evaluated through the procedure based on FEMA P695. FEMA P695 utilizes nonlinear static analysis(pushover analysis) and nonlinear dynamic analysis(incremental dynamic analysis, IDA). In order to reflect the characteristics of Korean steel moment frames on the analytical model, the beam-column connection was modeled as weak panel zone where the collapse of panel zone was indirectly considered by checking its ultimate rotational angle after an analysis is done. The analysis result showed that the performance criteria required by FEMA P695 was satisfied when R-factor increased in all the soil conditions except SE.

FEMA P695은 설계지진하중에 대한 구조물의 붕괴 안전성 및 내진성능계수의 적절성을 검토할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 FEMA P695에 제시된 방법에 따라 6층, 12층 중복도 격간벽 구조시스템의 내진성능을 파악하였다. 구조설계기준에 따라 설계된 기본 모델의 해석결과와 중복도 상부 인방보의 춤이나 철근량을 증가시킨 모델의 해석결과를 비교하여 보강 효과를파악하였다. 두 예제 구조물의 증분 동적해석 결과를 바탕으로 계산된 수정 붕괴 여유비 (ACMR)는 제시된 ACMR20% 한계상태를 만족하여 설계지진하중에 대하여 충분한 내진성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 인방보의 춤을 증가시킨 모델에 비해 주철근을 증가시킨모델의 ACMR 증가량이 더 현저하여 보다 효율적인 내진성능 보강방안으로 나타났다.
