摘要為因應高層鋼筋混凝土建築之強度需求,「台灣新型高強度鋼筋混凝土結構系統(New RC)研發計畫」於是孕育而生,該計畫整合國內產學界之製造與研究能力,致力於發展適用台灣產業環境與設計規範之New RC 結構。該計畫之縱向主筋與橫向鋼筋,分別採用SD690(降伏強度685 MPa)與SD790 之鋼材(降伏強度785 MPa),混凝土抗壓強度一般為70 MPa 以上。為配合台灣NewRC 計畫,本研究發展一套適用NewRC 柱軸力與彎矩強度(PM)互制關係之計算程式:NewRC-PM,並提供免費下載。本文闡述該程式之計算原理,以及與商用PM 互制關係程式之比對驗證。本研究亦蒐集18 組台灣New RC 柱試驗結果,以NewRC-PM 對其進行強度分析,分析結果顯示NewRC-PM 可保守計算所有18 組柱之軸力與彎矩強度。本研究再利用NewRC-PM 進一步分析該18 組柱之最大可能彎矩強度,分析結果顯示混凝土結構設計規範之方法於所有柱皆得不保守之結果;現行橋梁耐震設計規範之方法顯著改善前述不保守之現象,但壓力控制破壞柱仍普遍呈現不保守之預測結果。本研究最終提出最大可能彎矩強度評估方法,與試驗結果比對顯示所提出的方法可提供合理保守之計算結果。

AbstractTo address the need for high-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Taiwan, Taiwan New High-Strength Reinforced Concrete (Taiwan New RC) project was initiated. The project integrates the resources of academia and industry of Taiwan to develop the New RC structures for use in Taiwan. The longitudinal and transverse reinforcement used in the project are SD690 (yield strength of 685 MPa) and SD790 (yield strength of 785 MPa), respectively. The concrete compressive strength is typically ≧ 70 MPa. To support the Taiwan New RC project, a computer program, referred to as New RC-PM, was developed in this research to calculate the axial load-moment (PM) interaction diagram for New RC columns as well as for conventional RC columns. The theoretical background and verification of the New RC-PM are presented and discussed in this paper. Moreover, a test database with 18 New RC columns were established. The New RC-PM was used to analyze the PM interaction diagrams of the columns, which were then compared with the test results. The comparison showed that the New RC-PM could conservatively estimate the axial-bending strengths of the columns. The New RC-PM was further used to evaluate the methods for calculating the maximum probable moment strength (Mpr) of the current building and bridge codes. Evaluation results showed that the Mpr calculated by the current building code was unconservative for all the columns. The method of the current bridge code significantly improved the degree of unconservatism of the method of the building code. However, the Mpr was still unconservative for most compression-controlled columns. To address the issue, a new method to calculate the Mpr was proposed in this research. Comparison with the test results showed that the Mpr calculated by the proposed method was reasonably conservative for most of the columns.

摘要國內在921 大地震後,許多國中、小校舍損壞相當嚴重,但重建相當不經濟且工程亦相當浩大,故多數選擇採取補強方式,然國內目前常見的補強方式(例如:擴柱補強、翼牆補強及剪力牆補強)皆會影響到結構內部的運作,故本研究提出國內目前較少見之外加構架補強方法,該補強方式不影響結構物本身之運作功能,初步先以校舍進行研究探討此補強工法之可行性,未來可望將此方法推展至內部功能不能停止運作之建築物(例如:醫院)。本研究以後甲國中德育樓進行補強之模擬,以樓板將既有建物與外加構架連接,並進行側推分析,最後進行樓板剪力傳遞之檢核,確認樓板能夠完全將地震力由既有構架傳遞至外加構架,確保此方法之合理性,由設計實例確認本研究所提方法確實能夠提升低矮型校舍之耐震能力。

AbstractIn Chi-Chi earthquake, the school buildings in Taiwan were damaged seriously. Because rebuilding school buildings will be uneconomical and that will be a tremendous amount of work, seismic retrofit methods are usually adopted to raise seismic performance of buildings. The typical retrofit methods of school buildings in Taiwan include RC jacketing, wing wall and shear wall etc. However, those methods above will affect the function of the existing building during the construction. In this paper, retrofit method with adding external frames, seldom seen in Taiwan, is proposed. The advantage of this method is that the function of the existing building will not be affectedduring the construction. We first use a school building to discuss the feasibility of the method. And it is suggested that the method can be used on the buildings whose functioncannot be affected during construction, such as hospitals. We use a school building of HOU-JIA junior high school to apply a retrofit design of this seismic retrofit method using slabs to connect existing building and external frames. After the retrofit design, we do pushover analysis to make sure the seismic capacity of the retrofitted school building is enough. Finally, we check the shear capacities of slabs to make sure they can completely transfer the earthquake load from the existing building to external frames. By the design example, we prove that the retrofit method of RC external frame is fit to the common squat school buildings.

摘要本文針對大尺寸冷軋方形鋼管柱之韌性發展,以5 支全尺寸試體之反復載重試驗探討之。試體包括裂縫敏感試體及局部挫屈敏感試體,此外採用內藏式橫隔板及外橫隔板工法,進行梁與柱之連接。研究結果發現:(1)冷軋過程對鋼管斷面產生可觀的塑性應變,然而控制梁與柱間銲道施工之銲接入熱量,包括斷面直線段在40 KJ/cm 以內、斷面角隅段在30 KJ/cm 以內,可以避免裂縫過早發生;(2)鋼管柱斷面的寬厚比為10.9 時,試體之容許層間位移角可達7%以上,塑性轉角容量可達4.5%以上;(3)鋼管柱斷面的寬厚比為23.9 時,雖然比規範規定之15.6 大很多,但是試體之容許層間位移角仍可達4.2~4.4%,塑性轉角容量亦有2.1~2.2%,大致可符合耐震之需求;(4)規範對鋼管柱寬厚比限制比箱型柱嚴格,但是試驗結果顯示在相同的斷面寬度及柱板厚度下,兩者的韌性行為頗為類似。

AuthorCheng-Cheng Chen, Shu-Hao Lin, Pin-Da Wu
Keywordscold formed structural tube, steel structure, steel column, earthquake-resistant structures
AbstractThis study examined the ductility development of large cold-formed square tube columns through cyclic loading test of five full-sized specimens. Specimens included crack-sensitive and local-buckling-sensitive specimens. In addition, specimens using internal diaphragm and external diaphragm were employed to weld the columns to the beams. Based on the test results, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The cold-forming process caused considerable plastic strain on the cross sections of the steel columns, however, by controlling the heat input in the welding passes, premature cracks can then be suppressed. (2) For the specimens with a column wall width-to-thickness ratio equals to 10.9, a story drifty ratio capacity no less than 7% and a plastic hinge rotation capacity no lower than 4.5% can be reached. (3) For the specimens with a column wall width-to-thickness ratio of 23.9, which is much larger the code limitation of 15.6, a story drift ratio capacity between 4.2%–4.4% and a plastic hinge rotation capacity between 2.1%–2.2% can be reached; generally, the specimens satisfied the requirements for seismic structures. (4) Although a more restrict with-to-thickness ratio for cold-formed square section than for box column is specified by the code, the ductility of the structural tube and the box column with the same section width and wall thickness is similar.

摘要近年來,被動消能裝置已被廣泛的應用於建築結構中,然而在現行的規範當中,如FEMA273/274 僅提供工程師黏性阻尼器等效阻尼比設計之建議,但更有效益的阻尼器最佳化設計卻鮮少被提及。儘管有些阻尼器最佳配置方法已被提出,但這些最佳化方法往往夾帶著繁瑣且複雜的計算,較難以被實際工程界所接受及使用。為克服此一限制,本研究主要是利用較為簡單且同時兼具理想抗震效益的方法以設計黏性阻尼器之最佳化配置。本文提出新的配置方法,用以將阻尼消能向上提升以增進結構物抵抗地震力。本文將不同的阻尼最佳化配置方法應用於剪力構架以及三維不對稱結構中,利用多筆符合設計反應譜的人造地震歷時對這些方法做檢核。最後,以統計工具來探討各種方法應用於不同建築結構之適用性。

KeywordsViscous dampers, optimal placement of dampers, shear type buildings, three-dimensional asymmetric buildings
AbstractNowadays, passive energy dissipation devices are widely used in building structures. Design codes such as FEMA273/274 suggested that the equivalent damping ratio of supplemental viscous dampers be used. However, how to place viscous dampers optimally was not addressed. Several optimal damper placement methods have been proposed to improve the seismic performance of structures but they usually involve complicated procedure and therefore are not suitable for practical applications. The goal of this study is aimed at finding the optimal placement of viscous dampers using proposed simple methods. The proposed methods and other optimal damper placement methods are applied to different shear type buildings and a three-dimensional asymmetric building. Their performance and applicability are compared using statistical methods under a series of spectrum-compatible ground motions.

關鍵字調諧質量阻尼器、雙向分析、風力減振、高樓結構
摘要調諧質量阻尼器(Tuned Mass Damper, TMD)已成功應用在許多高樓建築中並有效抑制風力引致之振動。一般TMD 減振效益分析,主要是針對欲調諧的建築物於某振態在加裝TMD 後,分析其減振效果。模態分析雖簡易,但為單向分析,人們所感受到的舒適程度是以雙向之合加速度來判定,因此模態分析需再配合和方根(Square Root of the Sum of the Squares, SRSS)等方式求得約略之最大合加速度。如直接進行雙向動力分析將會比起單向分析更加直接、適當且準確。此外,如TMD 的阻尼器在空間中斜向放置,則阻尼器提供之阻尼力將雙向耦合。因此,本文除了建立出雙向單擺型TMD加裝於剪力屋架上之分析程序外,並針對空間中斜向放置的阻尼器,推導其阻尼力,進行雙方向的減振效益分析。最後,以一高樓案例進行減振效益分析說明,作為工程業界參考之用。縱然TMD 之阻尼器是斜向安裝,只要對稱配置,耦合之阻尼矩陣,亦能去耦而僅為對角矩陣,即雙向之阻尼力可去耦而不相互影響。只要結構雙向之振動週期夠接近,單擺型TMD 即具雙向減振之功能,在1 年回歸期之風力下,合加速度下降至舒適度之要求;在50 年回歸期之風力下,雙向之基底剪力的減幅,滿足規格之要求。此外,TMD 之阻尼器採斜向配置,可有效降低阻尼器衝程之需求。
TitleEffect of Vibration Reduction of Bidirectional Suspension-type Tuned Mass Damper

KeywordsTuned Mass Damper, bidirectional analysis, wind-induced vibration control, high-rise building
AbstractThe tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely utilized for civil engineering to control wind-induced vibration in high-rise building. In this research, the design and analysis procedures of the bidirectional suspension-type tuned mass damper are proposed and demonstrated. The main structure is simplified as a shear building model to install the suspension-type tuned mass damper for simulation by the dynamic time history analysis. For common pendulum tuned mass damper, the suspension position and viscous damper implement location are located at different floors. Therefore the reaction force and damping force of the tuned mass damper are acting on different degrees of freedom of the main structure. Although the damping force of a damper is acting in both the two horizontal directions because the damper is implemented with an angle to the floor plane, the damping force is independent in the two horizontal directions if the dampers are allocated in symmetric layout. Therefore, the damping matrix can be decoupled. The feasibility of the bidirectional suspension-type tuned mass damper is illustrated by the high-rise building subjected to the design wind force with return periods of 1 year and 50 years, respectively. Following numerical verification, the effects of vibration reduction for the high-rise building subjected to the design wind forces are demonstrated.

摘要工程界用於量測斜張鋼纜索力通常以微振法為主,而為提升索力量測的精度,鋼纜振態頻率的精準選用乃是必要條件。基本上鋼纜之各相鄰振態頻率多接近等間距而不難識別,不過卻可能受到橋體頻率、錨定系統偏向束制以及錨定系統局部振動等因素之干擾而產生混淆,特別在鋼纜長度較短時尤為顯著。本文因此針對由鋼纜訊號所可能識別出的頻率,就其種類與來源進行深入分析,從而希望解決鋼纜振態頻率識別實務上的困難以提升後續索力分析之精度。首先對於橋體頻率交叉混雜的問題,建議宜進行廣泛頻率範圍的識別,然後根據較高階鋼纜振態頻率的近似等間距關係,便容易排除橋體振態頻率在低頻範圍的干擾。其次,如鋼纜因錨定系統前端橡膠套環的偏向束制導致各振態都同時存在一對相當接近的頻率時,需特別注意後續分析最好在不同振態都固定選用數值較低或數值較高的一組,如此索力之計算才能具有共同的邊界束制基礎。至於若因鋼纜與錨定子系統相互耦合而使得振態頻率在特定範圍內出現不規則分岔時,則應謹慎篩選出其他明顯不受耦合影響的鋼纜振態頻率,俾能精確評估索力。
TitleSelection of modal frequencies adopted in ambient vibration method for determination of stay cable force
AuthorWen-Hwa Wu, Chien-Chou Chen, Yi-Ren Wang
Keywordsstay cable, cable force, ambient vibration method, modal frequency, anchorage system
AbstractThe ambient vibration method is typically employed in engineering practice to determine the tension of a stay cable and its precision strongly depends on the appropriate selection of cable frequencies. In general, the modal frequencies of a stay cable are close to an arithmetic sequence and these well separated frequency values are not difficult to be identified. From recent measurements on different stay cables by this research group, however, it is found that the identification of cable frequencies is possibly disturbed by the frequencies of bridge deck, the biased constraint of anchorage system, and the coupled interaction for the cable with its anchorage system. This study is consequently aimed to systematically explore these three types of difficulties such that the goal of clarified cable frequency identification and accurate cable force estimation can be attained. For the confusion caused by the frequencies of bridge deck, it is suggested to conduct the cable frequency identification over a wider frequency range and then exclude the interference of the deck frequencies in the lower frequency range based on the equally spaced relationship of cable frequencies conveniently observed in the higher frequency range. Regarding the biased constraint of anchorage system to induce a pair of frequencies for each vibration mode, it is recommended to consistently adopt the higher or lower frequency value in each pair for the computation of cable force established on a basis of common boundary constraints. Finally, the phenomenon that a particularcable frequency within a specific frequency range can irregularly splitinto two is confirmed to result from the coupled interaction between the cable and its anchorage system. Under such circumstances, special attention should be paid to choose the cable frequencies not influenced by this coupling for evaluating the cable tension.

摘要混凝土為由水泥、水及粗細粒料所組成之複合材料,故其彈性模數高低受組成材料等因素影響甚鉅。關於混凝土彈性模數的計算,台灣主要是參照內政部營建署頒佈之「混凝土結構設計規範」,其公式內容是根據美國混凝土學會ACI 318 而定;但從以往研究發現,台灣相較於美國的混凝土彈性模數有明顯偏低的趨勢。有鑑於混凝土彈性模數在工程設計應用上的重要性,以及近年添加高摻量飛灰、水淬高爐爐碴粉等卜作嵐摻料的高性能混凝土被廣泛地使用,本研究乃從混凝土的組成出發,探討影響彈性模數之因子,而後針對台灣本土混凝土材料,蒐集台灣學術機構及現地試驗之彈性模數資料,進行統計迴歸與分析。根據研究成果,本研究建議將ACI318 之彈性模數預測公式乘上一修正因子0.8,適用範圍為抗壓強度在210kgf/cm2~840 kgf/cm2 間之混凝土,除了易於業界計算外,並可反映台灣混凝土彈性模數偏低的事實,並做為未來工程規範修訂的參考。
TitleA Practical Equation for Elastic Modulus of Concrete in Taiwan
AuthorW.-C. Liao, C.-C. Lin, Y.-W. Chan
KeywordsConcrete, Elastic Modulus, Aggregate, Compressive Strength
AbstractConcrete is a composite material consisting of water, cement, fine and coarse aggregates. The elastic modulus of concrete is highly affected by the properties of its components. The estimation of elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan is mainly referred to the empirical equation provided in America Concrete Institute, ACI 318. However, it can be found that the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan is considerably lower than that in US according to the experimental results due to differences of aggregate properties. The aggregate phase is predominantly accounted for the elastic modulus of concrete. In addition, notable amounts of pozzolanic materials, such as fly ash and slag, are widely used in concrete mixtures in Taiwan. Since the elastic modulus directly influences the stiffness of RC structures, a more accurate prediction of the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan to reflect all these characteristics is essential. This paper proposes a formula to estimate the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan by collecting and analyzing the related test data. The parametric analysis is also carried out to verify the validity of this formula. This practical formula of elastic modulus of concrete has good agreement with that obtained from the experiments.

摘要結構隔震技術為近年來發展極為快速的耐震新技術之一,可大幅提升結構之耐震性能,我國目前已有隔震設計規範可供依循。不過,現行隔震規範僅提供通用之公式,可用以決定總體隔震系統參數,但並無法用以設計個別隔震支承之參數。因此,傳統隔震設計流程係工程師依經驗選擇隔震支承參數,再利用規範公式進行隔震結構之設計,由於隔震支承大多為非線性元件,若設計結果未能滿足耐震需求,則必須經過多次重複的試誤及迭代過程,方能完成設計並決定隔震支承之參數。為簡化設計流程,本文乃提出「以性能為導向之二階段隔震設計法」。此法以不超過最大容許上傳地震力與容許隔震位移作為雙重性能目標,在無需迭代的情況下,即可決定出滿足此二項性能目標之隔震支承參數。本文方法主要分為二個設計階段,第一階段為線性隔震設計,主要係在滿足預設性能目標條件下利用規範公式以決定線性化等效隔震系統參數,亦即:有效週期與有效阻尼。而第二階段為非線性隔震設計,主要是由第一階段所得之線性化系統參數推求個別隔震器之非線性支承參數,例如:LRB 支承之降伏後勁度及降伏強度等。為方便實務之應用,文中詳細推導各階段所需之輔助設計用公式,同時亦列出詳細之設計流程及步驟。文末更以之一棟含有LRB 隔震支承之五層樓RC 建物為案例,以示範如何應用本文建議之設計方法及流程,在無需迭代及試誤計算的情況下獲得個別LRB 之支承參數,此組參數並可同時滿足預設之雙重性能目標。

Keywordsbase isolation, isolation design, performance objective, allowable isolator displacement, allowable base shear
AbstractBase isolation is an effective means for improving seismic resistance capacity of structures. Design codes for base isolation have been given in many countries for many years. However, most of existing codes only provide generic formulas that determine the parameters of an isolation system as a whole, rather than the parameters for individual isolators. Consequently, design engineers have to perform the design task based on the isolator parameters selected according to past experience. Moreover, since most of existing isolators are nonlinear devices, conventional design methods usually involve iteration and trial-and-error procedure if certain performance demand has to be satisfied. In order to simplify the design procedure so the tedious iteration procedure in a conventional design approach can be averted, in this paper, a performance-oriented two-stage design method is proposed. Without iteration, this method is able to determine a set of isolator parameters that meet the two pre-selected performance objectives, namely, the allowable isolator displacement and base shear. The proposed method includes two design stages. In the first stage, the formulas specified in the current design code are employed to compute the linearized parameters of the whole isolation system, i.e., the effective period and effective damping, so that the two performance objectives can be satisfied. Based on the linearized parameters determined in the first stage, in the second stage, the nonlinear parameters for each individual isolator, such as the yield force and post-yield stiffness in a LRB isolator, are computed. For the convenience of applications, in this work, the complementary design formulas are derived and design steps are also outlined. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed design method is demonstrated by an example that involves a 5-story RC building isolated by LRB isolators.

摘要由耐震設計中反應譜的觀念得知,當結構系統之週期較長時,有較低之設計地震力。隔震系統乃呼應此觀念,藉由延長結構系統之週期來降低上傳之水平地震力。摩擦係數在摩擦消能隔震系統扮演相當重要的角色。摩擦係數過低或過高,皆會提高上傳之地震力,隔震層設計位移則是隨著摩擦係數提高而降低,因此摩擦係數之決定相當重要。然而,目前業界通常是仰賴經驗以決定摩擦係數,而非一套有系統之方法。此外,由於地震震度與震波形式之不確定性,結構物於使用年限之間有可能碰到尖峰地表加速度(peak ground acceleration, PGA)更甚於設計地震之大地震,或是具低頻特性之近斷層震波。因此,本文嘗試將本文作者所發表之摩擦係數最佳化公式融入業界習用之隔震設計流程,是為摩擦係數最佳化隔震設計流程。為驗證最佳化流程之效果,本文考慮一假想隔震案例,並以設計地震、1.5倍設計地震、近斷層地震當作輸入,執行歷時分析,來驗證隔震效果及隔震層位移是否超過隔震位移限制。分析結果顯示,最佳化設計流程於三種外力下皆能有效降低加速度反應,但當外力為非設計地震力時,位移反應可能會超過隔震位移限制,代表最佳化流程可能無法滿足需求,因此本文嘗試改變設計流程之邏輯。首先固定位移,而後直接代入非設計地震之反應譜係數進行設計,此為修正最佳化隔震設計流程。本文亦以假想隔震案例進行設計,再以非設計地震力當作輸入執行歷時分析。由模擬結果可知此修正設計流程具有不錯的減震效果,隔震層最大位移反應亦小於隔震位移限制。摩擦係數最佳化設計流程相對於業界現行之設計流程僅多增加一步驟,並不會大幅影響工程師之設計習慣,但卻能作為工程師選用參數的依據。而修正最佳化隔震設計不僅步驟簡潔且又針對非設計地震需求設計,故本文認為此流程可以信賴。

AbstractAccording to the concept of earthquake response spectrum, the structure which equips with isolation system reduces seismicforce by extending the period.For isolation design, the friction coefficient is one of the main design parameters. Based on the experience, the isolation displacement get lower with larger friction coefficient, however, the structural acceleration get larger with lower or larger friction coefficient.In the conventional isolation design procedures, the energy dissipation parameters, like friction coefficient, is not determined by some certain criteria but engineers’ practical experience. Because structure may suffer nearfult earthquake orearthquake of which intensity is larger than design earthquake. This article incorporates the optimal friction coefficient into isolation design process which called optimalisolation design process of friction coefficient. In order to verify effect of the process, the article choosesdesign earthquake, 1.5 times design earthquake and nearfult earthquake as input to do time history analysis in an imaginary case. The simulation result indicates that structural acceleration reduce effectively but isolation displacement may be larger than displacement limit except under design earthquake. Therefore, the article change design logicthat fixes displacement first and designs with non-design earthquake response spectrumto develop modified optimal isolation design process and chooses non-design earthquake as input to do the timehistory analysis in an imaginary case.According to the analysis results, the isolation displacement will be lower than design displacement andstructuralacceleration reduce effectively. Because the difference between the optimal design procedures of friction coefficient and the conventional one is insignificant, engineers will feel comfortable to adopt the optimal design procedures to determine isolation parameter. The modified optimal isolation process’s steps are concise and base on non-design earthquakeresponse spectrum, so the article refer the process as credible.

摘要低矮型鋼筋混凝土(Reinforced Concrete; RC)住宅建築使用了大量的開孔RC 牆,但由於工程界對開孔RC 牆之耐震行為不甚了解,故於耐震評估與設計時,常將開孔RC 牆之貢獻予以忽略或是過度折減使用。此將造成住宅建築之耐震能力被嚴重低估,這對低矮型住宅結構之耐震設計、評估與補強工作有不利之影響。本文對開孔RC 牆在剪力破壞控制下之側力位移曲線提出建議,其係以開裂點、強度點及崩塌點為轉折之曲線。經與反復載重之開孔RC 牆實驗比對,得知本文建議之側力位移曲線,確實能合理反映開孔RC 牆之耐震行為。本文建議的分析程序已大幅簡化,可以手算執行,非常適合工程實務之應用。若對低矮型RC 建築執行側推分析,而將開孔RC 牆模擬為等值寬柱時,本文建議之側力位移曲線,可供該寬柱剪力塑鉸之模擬使用。

AbstractThere are plenty of RC walls with openings in the low-rise residential buildings. Due to unawareness of the behavior of RC walls with openings, their effects are often ignored or undervalued during seismic assessment and design. In consequence, the seismic capacity of residential buildings is greatly underestimated, which is detrimental to the work of seismic design, evaluation and retrofitting for the low-rise residential buildings. In this paper, a lateral load displacemen tcurve of the RC walls with openings subjected to shear failure is proposed.

The proposed model correlates well with the available test results of RC walls with openings. Calculations of the proposed model are greatly simplified to fit in the purpose of design in practice. For the pushover analysis, the proposed model can simulate the properties of shear plastic hinge of the RC walls with openings.

摘要結構的「耐震設計」與「耐震評估」長久以來一直是國內推廣永續發展之重大課題,歐、美、日本在內的許多國家皆已採用性能設計理念的精神與內涵於新世紀技術規範。國內亦於民國98 年起推動本土化公路橋梁耐震性能設計規範,目標為控制橋梁結構於各等級地震作用下之使用性、可修復性與安全性。確保新建橋梁在不同等級地震作用下達到預期耐震設計目標之可靠度,降低橋梁地震中的受損風險。本文旨在介紹公路橋梁耐震能力設計規範草案中的耐震評估方法,並以四座多跨連續數值橋梁為探討對象。利用非線性側推分析建立橋梁整體容量曲線,分別以不同的耐震評估方法計算橋梁性能點,由性能點反推橋梁上部結構整體之側向位移。最後以非線性動力歷時分析所得之橋梁上部結構整體之側向位移作為基準,比較不同耐震評估方式所得結果的差異。希冀透過此研究可讓國內實務單位對於不同橋梁耐震評估方法能有初步的認識。

AbstractStructural seismic design and seismic assessment are important issues in the sustainable development. Today, the concepts of performance-based design have been adopted in the building codes of European Union, Untied of States, Japan and other advanced countries. As a result, the performance-based seismic design provisions and commentary for highway bridges has also been introduced in Taiwan from 2009. The aims of the new seismic design provisions are to ensure the serviceability, retrofit, and safety of highway bridges under seismic hazards. In addition, the new seismic design provisions focus on the real responses of structures suffer from different levels of earthquakes, which can guarantee the new bridges, according to the performance-based design, achieving the reliability of anticipated targets and decreasing the damage ricks. In this paper, the draft of the new seismic design provisions for highway bridges is introduced and compared with other two existed method (ATC-40 and refined seismic assessment method). Pushover analyses with uniform lateral load pattern for four numerical multiple-span bridges are carried out. Then the pushover curves are transformed to the corresponding capacity spectrum curve with multiple monitoring points. Then the performance points are obtained by three seismic assessment methods and can be used to estimate the maximum lateral displacements. Compared with the results from nonlinear dynamic analyses, one can know the differences between three seismic assessment methods.

TitleA Practical Equation for Elastic Modulus of Concrete in Taiwan
AuthorW.-C. Liao, C.-C. Lin, Y.-W. Chan
KeywordsConcrete, Elastic Modulus, Aggregate, Compressive Strength
AbstractConcrete is a composite material consisting of water, cement, fine and coarse aggregates. The elastic modulus of concrete is highly affected by the properties of its components. The estimation of elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan is mainly referred to the empirical equation provided in America Concrete Institute, ACI 318. However, it can be found that the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan is considerably lower than that in US according to the experimental results due to differences of aggregate properties. The aggregate phase is predominantly accounted for the elastic modulus of concrete. In addition, notable amounts of pozzolanic materials, such as fly ash and slag, are widely used in concrete mixtures in Taiwan. Since the elastic modulus directly influences the stiffness of RC structures, a more accurate prediction of the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan to reflect all these characteristics is essential. This paper proposes a formula to estimate the elastic modulus of concrete in Taiwan by collecting and analyzing the related test data. The parametric analysis is also carried out to verify the validity of this formula. This practical formula of elastic modulus of concrete has good agreement with that obtained from the experiments.

AbstractBase isolation is an effective means for improving seismic resistance capacity of structures. Design codes for base isolation have been given in many countries for many years. However, most of existing codes only provide generic formulas that determine the parameters of an isolation system as a whole, rather than the parameters for individual isolators. Consequently, design engineers have to perform the design task based on the isolator parameters selected according to past experience. Moreover, since most of existing isolators are nonlinear devices, conventional design methods usually involve iteration and trial-and-error procedure if certain performance demand has to be satisfied. In order to simplify the design procedure so the tedious iteration procedure in a conventional design approach can be averted, in this paper, a performance-oriented two-stage design method is proposed. Without iteration, this method is able to determine a set of isolator parameters that meet the two pre-selected performance objectives, namely, the allowable isolator displacement and base shear. The proposed method includes two design stages. In the first stage, the formulas specified in the current design code are employed to compute the linearized parameters of the whole isolation system, i.e., the effective period and effective damping, so that the two performance objectives can be satisfied.

TitleThe seismic performance and crosstie unity of reinforced concrete columns using the lap-spliced crosstie under various axial loads
AuthorTai-Kuang Lee, Cheng-Cheng Chen
Keywordslap-spliced crosstie, RC columns, seismic performance
AbstractA lap-spliced crosstie consists of two J-shaped steel bars (rebars) that have a straight end and an end featuring a 180° hook. In this study, a lateral cyclic load test was conducted on four specimens of large-sized reinforced concrete (RC) columns to investigate the seismic resistance capability and crosstie unity of RC columns comprising lap-spliced crossties under various axial loads. The research results are presented as follows: (a) The ductility of the specimens that adopted the lap-spliced crossties was comparable to that of the specimens using crossties featuring a 180° hook on the two ends. (b) Without axial load, the straight end of the J-bars did not slip toward the inside of the column, suggesting that two J-bars were effectively spliced to be a crosstie featuring a 180° hook on its two ends and maintaining good unity. (c) The ductility of RC columns comprising lap-spliced crossties and crossties featuring a 180° hook on the two ends is significantly decayed with increasing axial load ratio.

摘要本文共進行十二組RC 外柱梁柱接合試體,探討梁構件主筋應用擴頭鋼筋錨定於交會區之耐震行為研究,所有試體之梁主筋淨間距分別配置2倍與2.2 倍鋼筋直徑,且均滿足強柱弱梁要求。主要研究參數包括梁主筋配置於交會區內之錨定長度,與梁柱交會區剪力需求容量比。試驗結果顯示,當梁主筋淨間距為2.2 倍鋼筋直徑且錨定長度配置充分並相同時,分別採用擴頭鋼筋與傳統標準90 度彎鉤鋼筋錨定於交會區之梁柱接合試體,在反覆載重作用下之受力變形行為相當,證實擴頭鋼筋取代標準90 度彎鉤鋼筋之可行性。由ACI 374.1-05 與本文建議之耐震性能評估結果顯示,當梁主筋使用擴頭鋼筋錨定於交會區至少符合ACI 318-11 規範之發展長度,且擴頭鋼筋淨間距採用2 倍鋼筋直徑之試體,除發生不可預期之梁構件剪力摩擦滑移的試體外,在4%層間變位角之變形評估下,均能符合強度、勁度與能量的接合性能評估準則,且在實際交會區剪力需求容量比小於約1.15 內不受影響。從試體強度之分析結果也顯示,當梁構件擴頭鋼筋之錨定長度配置符合規範ACI 352-02 規定之發展長度時,鋼筋實際發展之平均強度約可達鋼筋標稱降伏強度1.25 倍之耐震設計規定。

Keywordsbeam-column joint, headed bar anchorage length, shear of the panel zone
AbstractThis paper presents the seismic behavior of 12exterior RC beam-column joint specimens that headed bars were adoptedas main bars of their beam members and anchored into theirpanel zone. Two types of net spacing of 2 times and 2.2 times diameter of headed bars were used. All specimens meet the requirements of the strong column-weak beamof the ACI 318-11 Code.Other main parameters included the anchorage lengths of headed bars and the shear demand-to-capacity ratioof the panel zone.The results showed that when the net spacing of headed bars used 2.2 times their diameter and anchorage lengthplaced long enough, the seismic performance of specimen that used headed bars was so well as that of using the standard 90-degree hooked bars.It proved an applicability of the headed bar replacing the hooked bar. Based on seismic assessments of ACI 374.1-05 and proposed by this paper, assessed results indicated that specimens with net spacing of 2 times diameter of headed bar were able to meet their assessed criteria of strength, stiffness and dissipating energy at 4% radian of drift ration as long as the anchored length of headed bar satisfied the development length stipulated in ACI 318-11. However, a specimen with an unexpected failure mode of shear friction slide was excluded. Analysis results of specimen strengths presented that if anchored lengths of headed bar exceeded the development length of headed bar required by the ACI 352-02 Code, the developing average stress of the headed bars was able to reach 1.25 times its nominal yield stress of seismic design requirement.

AbstractPreliminary evaluation is an important screening procedure for the seismic performance of school buildings so that the magnitude of the problem of seismic deficiency of school buildings can be reduced effectively. According to the seismic zone, importance factor and dimension of the vertical members in the first floor, seismic capacity and demand of a school building can be evaluated. Base on the score (capacity to demand ratio), the priority of the school building to enter into the stage of detailed evaluation is determined. However, a simple and quick evaluation method for the school buildings after retrofit has not been proposed yet. In this paper, a preliminary evaluation method is developed for the school buildings retrofitted with reinforced concrete jacketing. First of all, lateral strength of the reinforced concrete jacketing region per unit cross sectional area is established. Experimental results of two structures are adopted to investigate the feasibility of the proposed method including material strength, ultimate base shear strength, allowable ductility ratio, weight of building, fundamental vibration period and basic seismic performance. After comparison, the preliminary seismic evaluation for school buildings retrofitted with reinforced concrete jacketing proposed in this paper is effective and conservative. Before retrofit design, the amount of retrofit can be estimated by this method. After retrofit design, the rationality of the design can be confirmed by this method.

AbstractThis paper presents the cyclic behavior of novel circular reinforced concrete columns confined with a FRP-Wrapped Spiral Corrugated Tube (FWSCT). In order to analyze the behavior of FWSCT concrete columns in axial and lateral loads, a load-displacement analysis program was also developed by the authors. Three specimens that had no transverse hoops were constructed and tested under small and large axial loads to investigate their seismic performances. Specimen FWSCT-0 was confined with only a spiral corrugated tube without Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP); Specimens FWSCT-5 and FWSCT-8that were made in Taiwan were confined with 5 and 8 layers of GFRP, respectively. Test results showed that Specimen FWSCT-0 experienced shear failure, while Specimens FWSCT-5 and FWSCT-8 exhibited rupture of longitudinal steel bars at story drifts of 6% and 8%, respectively. It was also found that the plastic hinge of the new column was developed on both ends of the column gap and extended into the footing. The analytical program reasonably predicts test results by using the observed plastic hinge length.

摘要挫屈束制支撐(buckling-restrained brace, BRB)能提升構架的勁度、強度與韌性,且以不發生挫屈為特點,已廣泛運用在鋼結構建築中。BRB雖已應用在一些鋼筋混凝土(reinforced concrete, RC)構架補強中,但應用在新建RC 構架中卻不常見,主要因為鋼與RC 構件之連接介面設計與施工較困難與複雜。本研究提出以預埋工字型鐵件作為RC 構件與BRB 連接介面之耐震設計與分析方法,藉由鐵件傳遞BRB 至RC 梁柱構件表面之正向力與剪力,確保BRB 及RC 構架均能發揮原設計性能。本研究以一座雙層實尺寸總高7.41m、寬5m 含BRB 之RC 構架(BRB-RCF)試驗與分析,分為兩篇探討預埋鐵件之設計和施工方法、構架整體耐震性能及接合板與RC 梁柱構件之受力行為。構架試體採用A36 鋼材BRB 與之字形配置,接合板設計考慮BRB 軸力與梁柱開合效應,梁柱構件設計滿足ACI 318-14耐震設計規範,並於國家地震工程研究中心進行四次擬動態與反覆載重試驗至試體破壞為止。本研究亦對雙層BRB-RCF 試體建立PISA3D 模型分析,挑選擬動態試驗之地震歷時並預測試驗反應。分析預測與試驗比對結果顯示,BRB-RCF 於小震時之反應可以PISA3D 預測模型合理預測。試驗結束後,本研究進一步利用試驗反應校正PISA3D 分析模型,以達到更準確之模擬結果;試驗所得及模擬結果在下篇中做更詳細說明。

AbstractBuckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have been widely used nowadays in steel structures as it can provide high stiffness, strength and ductility without compression buckling. Researches on using BRBs for seismic retrofit of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have been reported. It is found the construction of BRB and RC member interfaces are often difficult, mostly due to the tensile and shear strengths of post-installed anchors in concrete are limited. As a result, the size and effectiveness of the BRBs are restricted. Nonetheless, researches on applying BRBs for new RC constructions are rather limited. This research investigates the seismic design and analysis methods of using the proposed I-shape steel embedment as the interface for the BRB and RC members. Steel embedment is designed to transfer the BRB normal and shear forces in order to secure the seismic performance of the RC buildings. In this study, a full-scale two-story RC frame with BRBs (BRB-RCF) is tested using hybrid and cyclic loading test procedures. The BRBs are arranged in zigzag configuration. The design of gussets incorporates the BRB axial and RC frame actions, while the beam and column members comply with ACI 318-14 seismic design provisions. The results are divided into two papers to discuss the design and construction methods of the steel embedment, seismic performance of the BRB-RCF, and seismic responses of the BRBs, gussets and RC members. A typical PISA3D numerical model of the BRB-RCF was constructed to predict the test responses and select the earthquake ground motions for hybrid tests. Analytical results indicate that the seismic responses of the BRB-RCF can be satisfactorily predicted only under the small earthquake. After all tests, a calibrated PISA3D numerical model is validated. It is illustrated with details in the Part II paper that the experimental responses of the BRB-RCF can be accurately simulated using the proposed procedures.

摘要在第一篇中已詳細介紹雙層含挫屈束制支撐(buckling-restrained brace, BRB)鋼筋混凝土(reinforced concrete, RC)構架(BBR-RCF)之設計與預測分析,本篇則討論BRB-RCF 之試驗觀察、試驗與模擬分析結果。試驗結果顯示,在50/50 級地震作用下,一樓及二樓BRB最大水平剪力分別占整體構架水平剪力之52%與71%;在10/50 與2/50 級地震時,則分別為60%與70%,證實BRB 能提供整體構架良好側向勁度與強度。四次擬動態試驗中,各層遲滯能量消散比例介於60%至94%,證實BRB 能消散大部份的地震能量。反覆載重試驗完成2.75%層間側位移(inter-story drift ratio, IDR)的加載時,一樓與二樓BRB 之總累積塑性變形量已分別超過476 與680。當反覆載重試驗進行至試體IDR 達3.5%時,側向強度仍未下降,且維持穩定的遲滯消能行為。進行至IDR 為4.5%時,一樓上端接合板才發生挫屈,但亦導致一樓BRB 圍束鋼管發生整體撓曲挫屈。當一樓頂接合板之有效長度因子Kcr 採2.0 計算時,需求與強度比(demand-to-capacity ratio, DCR)將達1.05,且一樓BRB圍束鋼管之設計DCR已高達0.95,顯示接合板挫屈後牽動BRB 圍束鋼管發生整體撓曲挫屈,試驗與此分析結果相符。試驗結果顯示,本研究所提之鐵件施工與設計方法可行,在試驗程中保持彈性,並證實所採RC 構件不連續區域之設計方法能避免破壞發生,可供工程應用參考。由於預測模型高估10/50 及2/50 地震等級下之反應,本篇詳述利用試驗反應進一步校正PISA3D分析模型之方法,模擬結果大幅提高分析模擬於2/50 等級地震下之準確度。

AbstractSeismic design and analytical response predictions of the full-scaled two-story BRB-RCF are introduced in the Part I paper. This Part II paper discusses the experimental observations, test results and analytical simulations using a refined PISA3D model. In the 50/50 earthquake, the ratios of peak BRB and BRB-RCF shear are 52% and 71% for the first and second stories, respectively. Similar ratios can be obtained if a factor 0.7 is applied on the gross moment of inertia for RC members in the ETABS elastic model. In the 10/50 and 2/50 events, the ratios become about 60% and 70% for the first and second stories, respectively. These indicate that BRBs can provide a high lateral stiffness and strength. The hysteresis energy dissipated ratios in the four hybrid tests are ranging from 60% to 94% for the two stories, confirming that BRBs can effectively dissipate seismic input energy. When the 2.75% inter-story drift ratio (IDR) cycles were completed during the cyclic loading test, the cumulative plastic deformations were more than 476 and 680 for the first- and second-story BRBs, respectively. When both two stories reached an IDR of 3.5%, the frame’s lateral force versus deformation response was still very stable. Up to the first IDR=4.5% loading cycle, the first story top gusset buckled, caused the subsequent flexural buckling of the first story BRB to occur. This is consistent with the predicted results as this gusset’s demand-to-capacity ratio DCR is 1.05 for the buckling limit state when the effective length factor Kcr=2.0 is considered. Nonetheless, the buckled BRB have a DCR=0.95 in the steel casing. No failure of the steel embedment is observed in the tests. Test results confirm that the ACI provisions and the simplified softened strut-and-tie model can be effectively applied to prevent the RC discontinuity region failure. This study demonstrates that the proposed design and construction methods for the steel embedment are effective and practical for the real applications. The response analysis of the refined PISA3D model calibrated from using the test results is conducted to demonstrate the accuracy enhancement compared to the typical model.

TitleThe seismic performance and crosstie unity of reinforced concrete columns using the lap-spliced crosstie under various axial loads
AuthorTai-Kuang Lee, Cheng-Cheng Chen
Keywordslap-spliced crosstie, RC columns, seismic performance
AbstractA lap-spliced crosstie consists of two J-shaped steel bars (rebars) that have a straight end and an end featuring a 180° hook. In this study, a lateral cyclic load test was conducted on four specimens of large-sized reinforced concrete (RC) columns to investigate the seismic resistance capability and crosstie unity of RC columns comprising lap-spliced crossties under various axial loads. The research results are presented as follows: (a) The ductility of the specimens that adopted the lap-spliced crossties was comparable to that of the specimens using crossties featuring a 180° hook on the two ends. (b) Without axial load, the straight end of the J-bars did not slip toward the inside of the column, suggesting that two J-bars were effectively spliced to be a crosstie featuring a 180° hook on its two ends and maintaining good unity. (c) The ductility of RC columns comprising lap-spliced crossties and crossties featuring a 180° hook on the two ends is significantly decayed with increasing axial load ratio.

Keywordsbeam-column joint, headed bar anchorage length, shear of the panel zone
AbstractThis paper presents the seismic behavior of 12exterior RC beam-column joint specimens that headed bars were adoptedas main bars of their beam members and anchored into theirpanel zone. Two types of net spacing of 2 times and 2.2 times diameter of headed bars were used. All specimens meet the requirements of the strong column-weak beamof the ACI 318-11 Code.Other main parameters included the anchorage lengths of headed bars and the shear demand-to-capacity ratioof the panel zone.The results showed that when the net spacing of headed bars used 2.2 times their diameter and anchorage lengthplaced long enough, the seismic performance of specimen that used headed bars was so well as that of using the standard 90-degree hooked bars.It proved an applicability of the headed bar replacing the hooked bar. Based on seismic assessments of ACI 374.1-05 and proposed by this paper, assessed results indicated that specimens with net spacing of 2 times diameter of headed bar were able to meet their assessed criteria of strength, stiffness and dissipating energy at 4% radian of drift ration as long as the anchored length of headed bar satisfied the development length stipulated in ACI 318-11. However, a specimen with an unexpected failure mode of shear friction slide was excluded. Analysis results of specimen strengths presented that if anchored lengths of headed bar exceeded the development length of headed bar required by the ACI 352-02 Code, the developing average stress of the headed bars was able to reach 1.25 times its nominal yield stress of seismic design requirement.

AbstractPreliminary evaluation is an important screening procedure for the seismic performance of school buildings so that the magnitude of the problem of seismic deficiency of school buildings can be reduced effectively. According to the seismic zone, importance factor and dimension of the vertical members in the first floor, seismic capacity and demand of a school building can be evaluated. Base on the score (capacity to demand ratio), the priority of the school building to enter into the stage of detailed evaluation is determined. However, a simple and quick evaluation method for the school buildings after retrofit has not been proposed yet. In this paper, a preliminary evaluation method is developed for the school buildings retrofitted with reinforced concrete jacketing. First of all, lateral strength of the reinforced concrete jacketing region per unit cross sectional area is established. Experimental results of two structures are adopted to investigate the feasibility of the proposed method including material strength, ultimate base shear strength, allowable ductility ratio, weight of building, fundamental vibration period and basic seismic performance. After comparison, the preliminary seismic evaluation for school buildings retrofitted with reinforced concrete jacketing proposed in this paper is effective and conservative. Before retrofit design, the amount of retrofit can be estimated by this method. After retrofit design, the rationality of the design can be confirmed by this method.

KeywordsGlass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), Spiral Corrugated Tube, Confined Reinforced Concrete Column, Seismic Tests
AbstractThis paper presents the cyclic behavior of novel circular reinforced concrete columns confined with a FRP-Wrapped Spiral Corrugated Tube (FWSCT). In order to analyze the behavior of FWSCT concrete columns in axial and lateral loads, a load-displacement analysis program was also developed by the authors. Three specimens that had no transverse hoops were constructed and tested under small and large axial loads to investigate their seismic performances. Specimen FWSCT-0 was confined with only a spiral corrugated tube without Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP); Specimens FWSCT-5 and FWSCT-8that were made in Taiwan were confined with 5 and 8 layers of GFRP, respectively. Test results showed that Specimen FWSCT-0 experienced shear failure, while Specimens FWSCT-5 and FWSCT-8 exhibited rupture of longitudinal steel bars at story drifts of 6% and 8%, respectively. It was also found that the plastic hinge of the new column was developed on both ends of the column gap and extended into the footing. The analytical program reasonably predicts test results by using the observed plastic hinge length.

AbstractBuckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have been widely used nowadays in steel structures as it can provide high stiffness, strength and ductility without compression buckling. Researches on using BRBs for seismic retrofit of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have been reported. It is found the construction of BRB and RC member interfaces are often difficult, mostly due to the tensile and shear strengths of post-installed anchors in concrete are limited. As a result, the size and effectiveness of the BRBs are restricted. Nonetheless, researches on applying BRBs for new RC constructions are rather limited. This research investigates the seismic design and analysis methods of using the proposed I-shape steel embedment as the interface for the BRB and RC members.

AbstractPrestressed concrete bridge is the commonly used type of bridges in Taiwan. According to the planning considerations of this bridge, the longitudinal and cross-section analysis results need to be checked repeatedly in the design process to determine the span lengths, cross dimensions, load combinations, working procedure restrictions, tendon profiles and tensioning sequences, etc., and the interrelated work activities of engineering drawing, structural computation statement and quantity estimation would be very complicated and cumbersome. Hence, once the civil engineering drawing software has been connected with structural analysis program, the design process can be expedited to identify sketches and quantities automatically. As a consequence, based on the basic design theory and construction methods of prestressed concrete box girder bridge, this paper aims at progressing an automatic design and drawing system performed by the Visual C# .NET programming language and further development technology of AutoCAD. As practical bridge design course, the window-based platform and devisable results presented in this paper are expected to provide a useful perception in structural engineering.

摘要鋼筋混凝土剪力牆為建築中常見的構件之一,其具有高強度與高勁度之特性,在地震來臨時將承受較大之剪力,因而較其它結構構件更早發生剪力破壞。所以對鋼筋混凝土剪力牆之側力位移曲線應作了解,方能充分掌握結構耐震能力評估之準確性。本文參考國家地震工程研究中心出版之校舍結構耐震評估與補強技術手冊,採用軟化壓拉桿模型,對低矮型剪力牆承受剪力破壞之情況,提出簡化之側力位移曲線建議。本文進一步引入簡化之壓拉桿指標,且根據軟化壓拉桿模型應變場估算剪力牆之剪力變形。本文建議曲線大幅簡化繁複之計算流程,其與實驗結果比對具有合理之預測結果,且與校舍技術手冊的預測精度相當。本文建議之剪力強度預測,亦可改善ACI 318-14 規範高估剪力鋼筋貢獻之問題,可合理估計構架中填充RC 牆之強度。本文提供之方法除可供耐震評估用,對於新建建築之結構設計,亦可協助工程師估計RC 隔間牆之剪力強度貢獻,進而有效評估填充RC 牆對構架耐震行為之影響。

AbstractReinforced concrete shear wall is commonly used as a structural member and possesses the characteristics of high stiffness and strength. During earthquake attacks, shear walls usually receive the major lateral forces and are prone to fail in shear. Therefore, prediction of the lateral load displacement curve of shear walls is essential for the seismic assessment of existing buildings. In accordance with the Technology Handbook for Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of School Buildings published by National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, this paper employs the Softened Strut-and-Tie Model to estimate the seismic behavior of low-rise shear walls. By using the simplified strut-and-tie index and shear deformation estimated from the associated strain field at peak load, the proposed curve is greatly simplified and correlates well with the available test results. The current ACI 318-14 Code over-estimates the contribution of shear strength from the shear reinforcement and the proposed model can correct this drawback. In addition to predicting the shear strength of existing shear walls, the proposed model can also provide estimation of shear strength of RC infilled walls in new construction buildings. This application can assist engineers to evaluate accurately the influence of RC infilled walls on the seismic behavior of frames.

摘要 雙核心自復位斜撐(Dual-Core Self-Centering Brace,DC-SCB)是利用斜撐中的兩組拉力構件束制斜撐中的三組鋼受壓構件,及第一核心構件與外層構件之相對位移進行摩擦消能,使斜撐受軸拉與受軸壓下提供自復位及消能能力, 即在大變形下具有回到零殘餘變形的能力; 夾型挫屈束制斜撐(Sandwiched Buckling-Restrained Brace,SBRB)則是利用兩組獨立分離的圍束構件束制斜撐中的核心構件,使得斜撐受壓不會挫屈而產生飽滿的遲滯消能。本研究主要目的為測試及比較在層間側位移角2%下有相同最大軸力設計條件之雙核心自復位斜撐(DC-SCB)和夾型挫屈束制斜撐(SBRB)的勁度、能量消散、殘餘變形及耐用性能等耐震行為,因此設計及試驗兩組7409 mm長之斜撐(DC-SCB 1 與SBRB 1)及兩組7560 mm 長之斜撐(DC-SCB 2 與SBRB2),其中DC-SCB 1 與DC-SCB 2 之拉力構件均使用D16(直徑15.24 mm)高強度鋼絞線(ASTMA416 Grade 270 Steel),此四組斜撐分別進行六次反覆載重試驗。試驗結果顯示,雙核心自復位斜撐有穩定的自復位與能量消散之能力,夾型挫屈束制斜撐有飽滿的遲滯消能,四組斜撐之耐震性能均符合AISC (2010)規範針對斜撐要求在最小層間側位移角2%前不破壞原則,更可達層間側位移角2.5%而不破壞,雙核心自復位斜撐與夾型挫屈束制斜撐之最大軸力分別可達5800 kN 與6400 kN,兩種斜撐之最大軸力拉壓差均在1.07 以下,夾型挫屈束制斜撐在六次階段試驗的累積非彈性軸向變形比(累積韌性容量) 為878~1422,均超過AISC (2010)對於挫屈束制斜撐要求之200,並也實際應用於臺灣及中國新建的建築物作為抗震消能的主要構件。

Abstract This paper presentsseismic tests of full-scale dual-core self-centering braces (DC-SCBs) and sandwiched buckling-restrained braces (SBRBs). The DC-SCB has a flag-shaped hysteretic response with high axial stiffness and minimal residual deformation, exhibiting a self-centering mechanism. The SBRB like conventional BRBs has much higher energy dissipation capacity than the DC-SCB, but larger residual deformations are expected for structures equipped with SBRBs. The primary objective of the study was to conduct seismic tests that established a direct comparison basis between two DC-SCBs and two SBRBs designed with similar axial capacity and length. A total of DC-SCBs and SBRBs that were about 7.5 mlong and had maximum axial forces from 1500 to 6000 kN were tested to evaluate their cyclic behavior and durability. In general, these tests showed that the DC-SCB and SBRBexhibit robust cyclic performanceswith good deformation capacity and durability. The axial elastic and post-elastic stiffnesses of DC-SCB were around two and five times those of SBRB, indicating that DC-SCB is more effective to resist lateral forces than SBRB in structures. Some new buildings in Taiwan and China have adopted SBRBs as main earthquake-resisting members.

關鍵字 摩擦消能、簡諧震波、穩定性
摘要 由摩擦消能隔震系統之等效阻尼比可知,若隔震系統位移越大,其等效阻尼比越低;因此若有一基底振動,在能量不停輸入之情況下,使摩擦消能隔震系統位移隨時間漸增,則等效阻尼比將隨時間漸減;漸減之等效阻尼比又導致往後更大之隔震位移,如此產生惡性循環,終使隔震系統消能不足,產生不穩定之現象。為探討摩擦消能隔震系統穩定性之議題,本文將上部結構視為剛體、隔震系統視為單自由度,以正弦波當作基底加速度,將運動方程式化為無因次,整理出求解流程供工程師參考,並探討設計參數對隔震系統反應指標之影響,供工程師做初步判斷。真實地震雖不會造成摩擦消能隔震系統之不穩定,然而摩擦隔震系統之等效阻尼比隨隔震層位移增加而遞減,使隔震層位移過大,工程師應仔細考量此特徵,增加其安全性。
Title Dynamic Stability of Frictional Isolation Systems Excited by Simple Harmonic Waves
Author Sheng-Hsuan Wang, Lap-Loi Chung, Yong-An Lai, Cho-Yen Yang
Keywords frictional isolation systems, simple harmonic waves, dynamic stability
Abstract According to the equivalent damping ratio formula of frictional isolation systems, the damping ratio becomes lower as the isolation displacement gets larger. Therefore, if the excitation is a simple harmonic wave with constant amplitude and ongoing input energy, then the displacement response of isolation systems will increase with time; on the contrary, the equivalent damping ratio of isolation system will decrease with time. The relationship between isolation displacement and damping ratio will make frictional isolation systems fall into the vicious circle and become dynamic unstable finally. To investigate the issue about dynamic stability of frictional isolation systems, we assumed the super-structure is rigid and the excitation is simple harmonic, and transformed the motion equation of isolation systems into the dimensionless form. We also set the response indices to help practical engineers preliminarily estimate the isolation design. Actually, real ground excitations will not make isolation systems dynamic unstable, but the vicious circle between displacement response and equivalent damping ratio of isolation systems is undoubted. For the reason that we proposed practical engineers take the characteristic into consideration to enhance the safety of isolation design.

摘要台灣海峽擁有全球最佳的風場之一,因此我國近年來積極發展離岸風力發電技術。而歐美地區的風力發電技術雖已十分成熟,但因台灣地處地震發生頻繁區域,對風機及其支撐結構的耐震性能要求遠較歐美為高。而我國雖有嚴格的結構耐震設計規範,但主要以確保人命安全為出發點,恐無法滿足風機結構於強震後仍能保有發電功能之耐震需求。為能同時確保震後風機之功能及安全,本文乃試圖探討使用質量阻尼器(mass damper,簡稱MD)作為風機制震系統之可行性。本文所謂MD 技術乃是於風機機艙及支承塔柱結構間安置一容許產生相對位移與消能能力之柔性減震介層,並以機艙質量作為反力質塊,如此即可藉由機艙及塔柱結構間之互制運動,使總體系統產生顯著的反共振(anti-resonant)現象,以有效降低整體系統之地震反應。MD 技術與常用之TMD (tuned mass damper)技術不同之處在於前者無需外加反力質塊,且質塊之自振頻率並不一定與原始結構之振頻調諧。本文採用16 筆震波模擬5MW 單樁式離岸風機標竿結構之地震反應。模擬結果顯示,經由參數研究可適當選取MD 之系統參數(即頻率比與阻尼比),即可同時大幅降低風機機艙之地震加速度與支撐結構之基底總剪力與彎矩。亦即,使用MD 系統不僅可提升風機支撐結構之安全,更可於強震後確保機艙內設備之發電功能,為十分有效之風機抗震方法。

AbstractSince Taiwan has one of the best wind-farms in the world, it is beneficial to develop renewable energy by using off-shore wind turbines. Nevertheless, since Taiwan is prone to earthquakes, the problem of seismic protection for the offshore wind turbines becomes an important issue. On the other hand, although current Taiwanese seismic design code is very stringent, it aims to ensure live safety in a major earthquake rather than the functionality of equipment in the structural system. In order to simultaneously ensure the safety and functionality of a wind turbine during a major earthquake, in this study, the possibility of using a mass damper (MD) system for mitigating the seismic response of offshore wind turbines is investigated. A MD system is established by introduced a soft and energy-dissipative layer between the nacelle and the supporting tower structure of a wind turbine. As a result, the interacting motion between the nacelle and underneath tower structure creates a significant anti-resonant phenomenon that is able to avert the seismic energy transmitted into the system. Different from a traditional tuned mass damper (TMD), the MD uses the mass of the nacelle itself as the reactive mass and its frequency may not be tuned to that of the structure. In this study, the seismic performance of a 5MW mono-pile off-shore wind turbine with the MD subjected to 16 seismic excitations is simulated. The simulation results have demonstrated that by properly selecting the MD parameters, i.e., the frequency and damping ratios, the acceleration of the nacelle and the base shear and moment of the supporting structure can be significantly reduced, as compared with a TMD-controlled or uncontrolled wind turbine. This implies that the MD technology is able to maintain the safety and functionality of a wind turbine in a major earthquake, simultaneously.

AbstractPrestressed concrete bridge is the commonly used type of bridges in Taiwan. According to the planning considerations of this bridge, the longitudinal and cross-section analysis results need to be checked repeatedly in the design process to determine the span lengths, cross dimensions, load combinations, working procedure restrictions, tendon profiles and tensioning sequences, etc., and the interrelated work activities of engineering drawing, structural computation statement and quantity estimation would be very complicated and cumbersome. Hence, once the civil engineering drawing software has been connected with structural analysis program, the design process can be expedited to identify sketches and quantities automatically. As a consequence, based on the basic design theory and construction methods of prestressed concrete box girder bridge, this paper aims at progressing an automatic design and drawing system performed by the Visual C# .NET programming language and further development technology of AutoCAD. As practical bridge design course, the window-based platform and devisable results presented in this paper are expected to provide a useful perception in structural engineering.
TitleLateral Load Displacement Curves of Low-Rise Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls

Keywordsreinforced concrete, shear wall, lateral load displacement curve, shear strength, shear deformation, low-rise
AbstractReinforced concrete shear wall is commonly used as a structural member and possesses the characteristics of high stiffness and strength. During earthquake attacks, shear walls usually receive the major lateral forces and are prone to fail in shear. Therefore, prediction of the lateral load displacement curve of shear walls is essential for the seismic assessment of existing buildings. In accordance with the Technology Handbook for Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of School Buildings published by National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, this paper employs the Softened Strut-and-Tie Model to estimate the seismic behavior of low-rise shear walls. By using the simplified strut-and-tie index and shear deformation estimated from the associated strain field at peak load, the proposed curve is greatly simplified and correlates well with the available test results. The current ACI 318-14 Code over-estimates the contribution of shear strength from the shear reinforcement and the proposed model can correct this drawback. In addition to predicting the shear strength of existing shear walls, the proposed model can also provide estimation of shear strength of RC infilled walls in new construction buildings. This application can assist engineers to evaluate accurately the influence of RC infilled walls on the seismic behavior of frames.
TitleSeismic Tests of Full-Scale Dual-Core Self-Centering Braces (DC-SCBs) and Sandwiched Buckling-Restrained Braces(SBRBs)

KeywordsDual-core self-centering brace (DC-SCB), Sandwiched buckling-restrained brace (SBRB), Seismic tests
AbstractThis paper presentsseismic tests of full-scale dual-core self-centering braces (DC-SCBs) and sandwiched buckling-restrained braces (SBRBs). The DC-SCB has a flag-shaped hysteretic response with high axial stiffness and minimal residual deformation, exhibiting a self-centering mechanism. The SBRB like conventional BRBs has much higher energy dissipation capacity than the DC-SCB, but larger residual deformations are expected for structures equipped with SBRBs. The primary objective of the study was to conduct seismic tests that established a direct comparison basis between two DC-SCBs and two SBRBs designed with similar axial capacity and length. A total of DC-SCBs and SBRBs that were about 7.5 mlong and had maximum axial forces from 1500 to 6000 kN were tested to evaluate their cyclic behavior and durability. In general, these tests showed that the DC-SCB and SBRBexhibit robust cyclic performanceswith good deformation capacity and durability. The axial elastic and post-elastic stiffnesses of DC-SCB were around two and five times those of SBRB, indicating that DC-SCB is more effective to resist lateral forces than SBRB in structures. Some new buildings in Taiwan and China have adopted SBRBs as main earthquake-resisting members.
TitleDynamic Stability of Frictional Isolation Systems Excited by Simple Harmonic Waves
AuthorSheng-Hsuan Wang, Lap-Loi Chung, Yong-An Lai, Cho-Yen Yang
Keywordsfrictional isolation systems, simple harmonic waves, dynamic stability
AbstractAccording to the equivalent damping ratio formula of frictional isolation systems, the damping ratio becomes lower as the isolation displacement gets larger. Therefore, if the excitation is a simple harmonic wave with constant amplitude and ongoing input energy, then the displacement response of isolation systems will increase with time; on the contrary, the equivalent damping ratio of isolation system will decrease with time. The relationship between isolation displacement and damping ratio will make frictional isolation systems fall into the vicious circle and become dynamic unstable finally. To investigate the issue about dynamic stability of frictional isolation systems, we assumed the super-structure is rigid and the excitation is simple harmonic, and transformed the motion equation of isolation systems into the dimensionless form. We also set the response indices to help practical engineers preliminarily estimate the isolation design. Actually, real ground excitations will not make isolation systems dynamic unstable, but the vicious circle between displacement response and equivalent damping ratio of isolation systems is undoubted. For the reason that we proposed practical engineers take the characteristic into consideration to enhance the safety of isolation design.
TitleSeismic Vibration Control of Off-Shore Wind Turbines

AbstractSince Taiwan has one of the best wind-farms in the world, it is beneficial to develop renewable energy by using off-shore wind turbines. Nevertheless, since Taiwan is prone to earthquakes, the problem of seismic protection for the offshore wind turbines becomes an important issue. On the other hand, although current Taiwanese seismic design code is very stringent, it aims to ensure live safety in a major earthquake rather than the functionality of equipment in the structural system. In order to simultaneously ensure the safety and functionality of a wind turbine during a major earthquake, in this study, the possibility of using a mass damper (MD) system for mitigating the seismic response of offshore wind turbines is investigated. A MD system is established by introduced a soft and energy-dissipative layer between the nacelle and the supporting tower structure of a wind turbine. As a result, the interacting motion between the nacelle and underneath tower structure creates a significant anti-resonant phenomenon that is able to avert the seismic energy transmitted into the system. Different from a traditional tuned mass damper (TMD), the MD uses the mass of the nacelle itself as the reactive mass and its frequency may not be tuned to that of the structure. In this study, the seismic performance of a 5MW mono-pile off-shore wind turbine with the MD subjected to 16 seismic excitations is simulated. The simulation results have demonstrated that by properly selecting the MD parameters, i.e., the frequency and damping ratios, the acceleration of the nacelle and the base shear and moment of the supporting structure can be significantly reduced, as compared with a TMD-controlled or uncontrolled wind turbine. This implies that the MD technology is able to maintain the safety and functionality of a wind turbine in a major earthquake, simultaneously.

AbstractA new type steel bridge column is proposed and examined for its seismic resistance. In this study, an innovated method is proposed for bridge column with enhanced force transmission and energy dissipation for seismic resistance. At the connection of the column, the force transmission is the same as the conventional design method. However in the connection plate, besides the conventional force transmission, part of the connection plate is designed to dissipate the seismic energy. In the designated energy dissipation area, a serial of slot-hole connections are provided. With this arrangement, the joint can provide a mechanism for force transmission and energy dissipation. A series of experimental study is carried out on the new type of bridge column. From this study, it is found that the new type steel column is able to reach seven times of yielding deformation, 6.55% radium of rotation angle, without decay on its strength. The plastic zone is moved to the connection plate. The dissipated energy based on the new method is more than two times as compare with the traditional steel bridge column. The energy dissipation zone can be preselected. After earthquake, it is easier to perform inspection, retrofit, or replace the damaged connection plate if necessary.

摘要本研究利用鋼筋混凝土(reinforced concrete, RC)構架角隅處澆置之承壓塊作為RC 構架與補強斜撐系統間力量之傳遞介面,避免高度倚賴傳統補強工法中大量錨栓的使用,同時減少RC 構架與補強系統間之複合效應,斜撐軸力容量亦不直接受錨栓強度所限制。斜撐選用挫屈束制支撐(buckling-restrained brace, BRB)以避免傳統鋼斜撐受壓之挫屈行為,並藉由BRB 高勁度、高韌性與高消能容量的特性,以消散地震輸入之能量,降低結構受震反應。為驗證該補強工法之力量傳遞機制與耐震性能反應,並了解BRB 補強前後整體構架之性能反應差異,本研究設計兩組不同軸力容量之BRB 鋼框補強實尺寸RC 構架及一組安裝裸鋼框之RC 構架進行反覆載重試驗與非線性結構分析。試驗與分析結果顯示,本研究之耐震性能補強工法可使整體側向強度持續成長至3.0%弧度樓層側位移角,所提升之側向強度及勁度分別為安裝裸鋼框試體的2.2 及3.5 倍以上,有效提升既有RC 結構之側向強度、勁度及韌性容量,並藉由BRB 消散大部份的能量。本研究所提出之簡化分析方法及PISA3D 數值模型分析方法可供估計構架各構件之受力反應,有效預測補強構架側向強度,與試驗量測所得之構件受力反應差異均小於13.8%。此外,BRB 鋼框透過RC 構架角隅處承壓塊對梁端及柱端產生額外之局部剪力需求,可利用軟化壓拉桿模型簡算法有效且保守地評估該不連續區域構件之抗剪強度。

Keywordsseismic retrofit, reinforced concrete frame, buckling-restrained brace, bearing block, post-installed anchor, softened strut-and-tie model
AbstractInstead of applying the post-installed anchors to transfer the seismic loads, the proposed retrofitting brace system consists of high-strength mortar bearing blocks constructed at the four corners of the existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame to transfer the earthquake forces. In comparison with the traditional retrofitting methods, it avoids the complex on-site anchor installation process. Thus, the brace force capacity is not directly limited by the anchor resisting strength. Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are adopted in the proposed retrofitting system to improve the structural strength, stiffness and energy dissipation efficiency. In this study, cyclically increasing lateral displacements were imposed on two RC frames retrofitted with the same WT steel frames for different BRB strength capacities. Cyclic loading test on the third RC frame infilled with the same WT frame only was also conducted to evaluate the strength and stiffness enhancements. Test results indicate that the proposed retrofitting method is efficient in increasing the lateral strength up to the 3% drift ratio while achieving rather good ductility and energy-dissipating capacity. The increased lateral strength and stiffness were more than 2.2 and 3.5 times those of RC frame infilled with WT frame only, respectively. A simplified structural calculation and a detailed PISA3D analysis are proposed to show the effectiveness in predicting member demands to within 13.8% of the test measured test results. Under cyclic lateral loads, the steel braced frame imposes additional shear forces through the bearing blocks to both ends of the RC beam and column member discontinuity regions. In this research, the softened strut-and-tie model was satisfactorily applied in estimating the shear capacities for the discontinuity regions.

關鍵字隔震設計流程、最佳黏滯阻尼、非設計地震
摘要由耐震設計中反應譜的觀念得知,當結構系統之週期較長時,有較低之設計地震力。而隔震系統乃呼應此一觀念,藉由延長結構系統之週期來降低上傳之水平地震力。而阻尼在隔震系統所扮演的角色,除了消能之外也能夠適當降低隔震層位移。由於地震震度與震波形式之不確定性,結構物於使用年限之間有可能碰到尖峰地表加速度(PGA)更甚於設計地震之非設計地震;或具有低頻特性之近斷層震波。因此,本文嘗試將本團隊所發表之黏滯阻尼最佳化設計公式融入業界習用之隔震設計流程,是為最佳化設計流程,並以設計地震、非設計地震、近斷層地震當作輸入,來探討業界習用之設計流程以及最佳化設計流程於隔震效果及隔震層位移之差異。本文分別針對設計地震力、1.5 倍設計地震力與近斷層地震力對一真實之隔震結構進行模擬分析。其結果顯示,兩種設計流程於三種外力下皆能有效降低加速度反應,但當外力為非設計地震力,即1.5 倍設計地震力與近斷層地震力時,僅最佳化設計流程能確保設計位移滿足隔震層位移反應之需求,故本設計流程實屬可行。而本設計流程相對於業界現行之設計流程僅多增加一步驟,並不會大幅影響工程師之設計習慣。再者,本設計流程已提供出隔震層阻尼之需求,可作為工程師決定阻尼之依據。

Keywordsisolation design procedures, optimal viscous damping, non-design earthquake
AbstractBased on the concept of seismic design spectrum, the design seismic force is smaller when a structure possesses longer fundamental period. It is the main purpose for isolation system. The damping plays a significant role with function of energy dissipation and reducing the isolation displacement. Because of the uncertainty about earthquake intensity and fault activity, the structure may encounter a non-design earthquake with greater peak ground acceleration (PGA) or a near-fault earthquake within the structural service life. For this reason, we attempted to integrate the optimal viscous damping ratio formula into the conventional design procedures, called optimized design procedures, and chose a real case to do the time history analysis and then discussed the feasibility of optimized design procedure. Three earthquake types were utilized as input, one was the design earthquake, another was a non-design earthquake with PGA which was 1.5 times the design earthquake, the other was a near-fault earthquake. Regardless of the types of input, the isolation system with optimal damping ratio can play a good result about isolation effect and displacement. Therefore, we confirm integrating the optimal damping ratio formula into the conventional procedures is essential. For engineers, there is just one more step in the optimized design procedures than the conventional one, and the requirement of damping can be determined according to the proposed procedures.

Keywordsmodel fitting, optimization, gradient descent method, buckling-restrained brace, nonlinear simulation experiments
AbstractIn simulation of structural behavior, researchers often need to calibrate the parameters of a nonlinear material model with corresponding experimental data by using the trial and error method, which is very tedious and time consuming. To improve the efficiency of the calibration task, this research proposes an optimization approach using the classical gradient descent method to perform automated model fitting for the hardening material model of the buckling-restrained brace (BRB). Two component tests of the BRB conducted in the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering are used to test and validate the proposed approach. The results show that the proposed approach is not only more efficient but also more accurate in simulation of the BRB test results than the trial and error method.

摘要 台灣位於板塊交界帶,是地震及颱風頻繁的地區,時常造成許多天然災害,因此加強建築物智慧型功能的防災特性是急需探討解決的問題。隨著科技日新月異的進步,壓電複合材料已漸漸成為發展的趨勢,壓電複合材料也從機械、電機電子工程慢慢的轉移到土木工程,除了彌補原本基材功能上的不足,壓電材料的壓電效應也能製成控制器或感測器,大大的增加土木工程材料的功能性,讓土木工程應用最多的混凝土材料不再只是單純的優良抗壓性質,壓電材料也為混凝土增加具有許多智慧型的功能。本研究以再生材料搭配壓電材料,針對各組水泥砂漿其力學與電學之影響探討,了解水泥砂漿在不同電場環境及含水狀態下,其阻抗特性與機械行為的相關性,建立屬於再生材料與壓電材料水泥砂漿力電關係資料庫,找出各種變數間之關係,本研究利用體積法設計,比較組將飛灰取代水泥 [0%、10%、20%、30%],壓電組則再以PZT(鋯鈦酸鉛)壓電粉末取代5%細骨材製成水泥砂漿,進行流度、抗壓強度、吸水率、50V 及100V 電阻等力電性質之相互間關係試驗。於齡期28 天時,比較組抗壓強度為31.0-20.4MPa,壓電組則29.0-19.0MPa ; SSD 狀態之電性試驗50V 以比較組較高(1870-1588Ω.cm),壓電組則1419-1286Ω.cm;由此可知隨著飛灰取代量的增加其抗壓強度與電阻是降低的,比較組強度高於壓電組原因可能為壓電材料取代5%細骨材,且具有不吸水之特性,導致無法和細骨材及水泥作有效結合。

Improvements in the intelligent disaster prevention functions of buildings are imperative. The development of piezoelectric composite materials has become more popular in recent years. Piezoelectric composite materials are used in civil engineering to compensate for the functional deficiencies of the original base materials. The piezoelectric effect of these materials can also be used for the preparation of controllers or sensors, which greatly increase the technological capabilities of civil engineering structures.

The cement mortar materials prepared by replacing the cement component with varying amounts of fly ash 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively (control group). The piezoelectric materials were prepared by replacing the 5% fine aggregate with piezoelectric powder (PZT group). The electromechanical properties were tested to assess the correlations among flow, compressive strength, water absorption, and electricity at 50 V and 100 V. The correlations between these properties were also investigated. At the curing age of 28 days, the compressive strength of the control group was in the range of 31.0-20.4 MPa, whereas the compressive strength of PZT group was in the range of 29.0-19.0 MPa. The control group exhibited higher results (1870-1588Ω.cm) in the electricity property test under 50 V, whereas PZT group exhibited lower results (1419-1286Ω.cm). The compressive strength and results of the electricity property tests demonstrated that the compressive strength and electrical resistance decreased as the replacement of fly ash increased. The strength of the control group was higher than the strength of PZT group because 5% of the fine aggregate was replaced by the piezoelectric material and the piezoelectric material was water-resistant. However, this study was just 5% of the fine aggregate replaced by the piezoelectric material that regarding the compressive strength.
