Abstract:
The buildings that are designed according to the building codes generally perform well at severe performance objectives (like life safety) under high earthquake hazard levels. However, the building performance at low performance objectives (like immediate occupancy) under low earthquake hazards is uncertain. The motivation of this research is to modify the design and detailing rules to make the traditional systems perform better at multi-level hazards.<br /><br />This research introduces two new structural steel systems: hybrid Buckling Restrained Braced Frames (BRBF) and hybrid steel Moment F

Reinforced concrete frame buildings designed and built prior to the enactment of modern seismic codes of the pre-1970’s era are considered seismically vulnerable, particularly when they are subjected to strong ground motions.

Abstract:
The Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) is a region that is characterized by low frequency-high consequence seismic events such as the New Madrid sequence of 18111812. The infrequent nature of earthquakes in the region has led to a perception that the seismic risk in the area is low, and the current building stock reflects this perception. The majority of steel-framed buildings in the CEUS were designed without regard to seismic loads. Such frames possess limited seismic resistance, and may pose an unacceptable risk if a large earthquake were to occur in the region. A key ingredient of bu

Panel zone is one of the significant parts of beam-column connections in steel structures.

Therefore, current design codes needed to be revised to improve seismic performance of connections in general and panel zones in particular.

This paper examines CLT-steel hybrid systems at three, six, and nine storey heights to increase seismic force resistance compared to a plain wood system. CLT panels are used as infill in a steel moment frame combining the ductility of a steel moment frame system with a stiffness and light weight of CLT panels. This system allows for the combination of high strength and ductility of steel with high stiffness and light weight of timber.

The latter is of significant importance as recent strong earthquakes resulted in high socio-economic losses due to long disruption of the use or occupation of a large number of buildings.

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>土木工程研究所<br>99<br>Knee Braced Moment Resisting Frame (KBRF) is a modified form that adopts knee brace elements in the corner regions of beams and columns. The benefits of using the KBRFs include higher structural stiffness than moment resisting frame (MRF), and better ductility than concentrically braced frame (CBF). Furthermore, shifting of the plastic hinges from beam-column regions to the brace-beam regions eases the demand in beam-column joint designs. In order to establish the design guides for KBRF, a series of performance-based design that adopt the Performance-Based

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>土木工程研究所<br>94<br>This thesis comes from an idea of seismic assessment for RC non-ductile structure. The target of the research is to provide fragility curve of moment-resisting frames with beam-column joint and base column shear failure due to earthquake loading. Estimated fragility curve of RC structure can describe failure mechanism of frames well. Therefore, a proposed joint model and an idealized backbone model were chosen to track the fragility curve. Comparing with four tested moment-resisting frames, predicted story shear-drift ratio curve using the concept of capa

Abstract:
During the last few decades, the concepts and procedures of seismic design of buildings have evolved significantly. Traditionally, seismic design was based on providing the structure with the strength it needs to resist equivalent lateral forces that represent the earthquake induced forces. This methodology has proven to be inefficient in providing the target level of seismic performance in all case scenarios. The new methodology in seismic design, performance-based design, aims at designing the structure to achieve the expected performance levels under different levels of seismic hazard. Alth
