摘要箱型柱具雙強軸特性,在台灣鋼結構中應用普遍,為將梁彎矩傳入柱構件,箱型柱中與梁翼相對應之高程須置入內橫隔板,內橫隔板與箱型柱之銲接工法通常採用電熱熔渣銲(Electro-Slag Welding, ESW),而為減少柱斷面積,高強度 SM570M-CHW 鋼的應用也漸普及。本研究利用高強度鋼材探討箱型柱中 ESW 的耐震行為,並採用既有的鋼材破壞預測模型探討ESW 是否會破裂與破裂時機。本研究以 11 組 ESW 元件單向拉伸試驗與 4組實尺寸梁柱接頭反覆載重試驗探討柱翼板厚度與梁翼板偏心對於 ESW 破壞的效應,試驗結果顯示 ESW 元件僅受單向拉力作用時,只要「梁翼橫隔交疊高度」小於等於零,且偏心大於一倍柱翼板厚度,ESW 就會發生破壞;但「梁翼橫隔交疊高度」大於或等於 1/4 梁翼厚時,偏心超過一倍柱翼板厚度仍不會於 ESW 發生破壞。實尺寸梁柱接頭反覆載重試驗中則證明當柱翼板厚度由 25mm 提升至 45mm 時,ESW 由原先 3%層間位移角發生破壞改善至層間位移角達 5%尚未發生破壞。為探討 ESW 元件能否有效模擬梁柱接頭中的 ESW 銲道受力行為,本研究亦建立圓周刻痕試棒有限元素模型獲得材料參數之後,再進行 ESW 元件有限元素模型分析,並進行 ESW 關鍵區域破裂預測,結果顯示不論梁翼對 ESW 往梁腹方向亦或是反向偏心,有限元素模型皆能預測出 ESW 元件試體破壞時機且誤差小於 12%;進而建立實尺寸梁柱接頭有限元素模型模擬接頭內 ESW 銲道在反覆載重作用下之受力行為,結果顯示當柱翼板厚度由 25mm 增厚至 45mm 時,應力集中現象明顯減緩,且尖端開口位移下降至原先 1/3 倍,並可準確預測梁柱接頭內ESW 破壞時機。本研究亦以柱翼板厚度、梁翼板厚度及橫隔梁翼交疊高度為參數進行研究,探討不同參數配置對 ESW 銲道關鍵區域破壞時機之影響。分析結果顯示,當柱翼板厚度與橫隔梁翼交疊高度提升,以及梁翼板厚度減少時,可降低 ESW 開裂之機會。本研究建議柱翼板厚度宜大於或等於橫隔板厚度,且橫隔梁翼交疊高度不宜低於四分之一倍之橫隔板厚度,以避免 ESW 之脆性破壞。

AbstractSteel box columns are widely used in seismic steel building structures in Taiwan. In order to effectively transfer the beam-end moment to the column, diaphragm plates are welded inside the box column at the same elevations of the welded beam flanges. Electro-slag welding (ESW) procedure is common applied to attach the diaphragm plates to the column. Recently, the SM570M-CHW grade high strength steel is prevailingas it reduces the column sizes. In this study, four full-scaled welded SM570M-CHW steel beam-to-column (BC)joint specimens and eleven ESW component specimens were fabricated and tested. The key design parameters of these specimens include column flange thickness, beam flange eccentricity with respect to the diaphragm plate. This study investigates the applicability of stress modified critical strain and degraded significant plastic strain modelsin predicting the crack initiation fracture of the diaphragm-to-column ESW joint. The ESW component specimens were subjected to monotonic tensile loads, while the welded BC joint specimenswere subjected to cyclically increasing displacement to investigate the effects of beam flange eccentricity and column flange thickness on the ESW fractures. Test results show that when the ESW was subjected to monotonic tension only, it could fracture when the “overlapping distance of beam flange and diaphragm” (OD) was smaller or equal to zero. On the contrary, it remained intact even when the ODwas greater or equal to thickness of beam flange. Cyclic test results of the welded BC joints show that the connection with the 25mm thick column flange failed at the 3% inter-story drift (IDR) cycle, while the specimen with the 45mm column flange went through 5% IDR cycle without failure. The finite element model analysisresults show that when the column flange thickness increases from 25mm to 45mm, the stress concentrations are reduced and the crack tip opening displacement is decreased by 3 times. This study also carried out parametric study, focusing on the effects of the column flange thickness, the beam flange thickness and the OD on ESW fracture. Results show that increasing the column flange thickness, or the OD and decreasing the beam flange thickness reduce the stress concentration near ESW. In order to avoid the ESW fracture, the results of this study suggest that column flange thickness be equal to or larger than diaphragm or beam flange thickness; and the ODbe larger than one quarter of the diaphragm or beam flange thickness.

摘要近年來隔減震控制與地震預警的研究愈加受到重視,在地震工程領域中,地表運動特性除了常見的加速度、速度與位移的極值,還可分類為近斷層地表運動(near-fault ground motion)與遠域地表運動(far-field ground motion)。根據過去結構隔減震控制的相關研究,不同地表運動特性對於結構反應之控制結果影響甚鉅,故此研究試圖提出地表運動特性之預測模組,於地震主震波到來前預測此地震之地表運動特性,以優化隔減震之即時控制成效。本研究建立近斷層地表運動與遠域地表運動之資料庫,利用六項初達波特徵參數以及地表動態頻譜的高頻能量累加參數,以監督式機器學習—支持向量機建立地表運動特性預測模組。為了進一步開發智慧型隔減震即時控制系統,研究中採用槓桿式可變勁度隔震系統(Leverage-type Stiffness Controllable Isolation System, LSCIS)作為隔減震原型機構,此半主動控制機構可透過調整其控制律之控制參數,改變有效隔震勁度以即時控制結構動態反應。本研究亦將數個相異類型且具指標性的地表運動所對應之控制參數透過基因演算法最佳化,並以模糊控制建立地表運動與控制參數之關係模型,開發出智慧型隔減震即時控制系統。
TitleDevelopment of Ground Motion Characteristics Prediction Module and its Application to the Control of Intelligent Isolation System
AuthorChia-En Hsiao, Kuang-Yi Lin, Tzu-Kang Lin, Lyan-Ywan Lu
KeywordsGround motion characteristics, Support vector machine, Structural control, Genetic algorithm, Fuzzy control.
AbstractIn recent years, researches on structural control combining earthquake early warning have been widely studied. In the field of seismic engineering, ground motions can be mainly classified into near-fault and far-field ground motions. While the ground motion characteristics have a great influence on control performance; however, the existing earthquake early warning system can only predict the peak ground acceleration, and the optimal control efficiency cannot be promptly achieved. Therefore, a prediction module for ground motion characteristics is proposed in this study. A database of near-fault ground motions and far-field ground motions is first collected, and the six p-wave features and the high-frequency energy accumulations of the ground dynamic spectrum are used to establish the ground motion characteristic prediction module by utilizing support vector machine. In order to develop the intelligent structural control system, the Leverage-type Stiffness Controllable Isolation System (LSCIS) is used as the structural control mechanism. The effective isolation stiffness of the LSCIS can be swiftly changed to control the dynamic response of the structure. The control parameters corresponding to different types of ground motion are optimized by genetic algorithm, and fuzzy control is adopted for the intelligent isolation system.
標題壓電調諧質量阻尼器於垂直振動減振與能量擷取
作者賴勇安、周維苓、鍾立來
關鍵字調諧質量阻尼器、壓電材料、能量擷取、垂直振動、最佳化設計
摘要近年來人類對於能源的需求持續攀升,然而為因應氣候變遷,將迫使減少石化能源的使用,因此尋求更多更環保的能量來源,以因應未來需求,為當前各國的研究重點之一。由於土木結構與材料技術的發展,結構物設計建造越趨經濟,橋梁結構重量漸趨輕量,外觀也逐趨細長,結構週期也隨之延長,使得橋梁結構也較易受人行等外力激振。土木工程師為了有效降低此振動量,逐以加裝調諧質量阻尼器(Tuned Mass Damper, TMD)的方式,透過調諧質量阻尼器的振動頻率與結構自然頻率調諧,吸收結構的振動能量,並透過自身之阻尼器來消散傳入之振動能。然此能量為一綠色能源,如能量就此消散,實為浪費,有鑑於此,本文研究「壓電調諧質量阻尼器 (Piezoelectric Tuned Mass Damper, Piezo-TMD)」,以壓電材料將吸收之機械振動能轉換為電能,以便進行能量擷取。本文首先提出壓電調諧質量阻尼器之模型,推導出壓電調諧質量阻尼器系統之運動方程式。與一般調諧質量阻尼器不同,壓電調諧質量阻尼器除了力學之運動方程式外,另有一電路方程式,且兩方程式互為耦合。本文之壓電調諧質量阻尼器設計目標為能量擷取的平均功率最大化,並以一人行橋結構進行數值模擬,結果顯示壓電調諧質量阻尼器具有與傳統調諧質量阻尼器相近之結構減振效果,並可將人行外力所引致之振動能轉為可再利用之電能。且模擬結果顯示,壓電調諧質量阻尼器除其機械之自然頻率需與結構相調諧外,其電路之自然頻率也需與結構調諧,方可使結構之振動能量有效利用共振效應轉移至電路上。
TitlePiezoelectric Tuned Mass Damper for Vertical Vibration Reduction and Energy Harvesting
AuthorYong-An Lai, Wei-Ling Chou, Lap-Loi Chung
Keywordstuned mass damper, piezoelectric material, energy harvesting, vertical vibration reduction, optimal design
AbstractIn recent years, the energy consumption has continually grown. However, due to climate change, the use of fossil fuel to generate electrical power forces to be reduced. Therefore, looking for environmental friendly energy sources is one of the current research priorities. Because of the development of civil engineering technology, the design and construction of structures turn into more economical. The weight of the bridge structure is becoming lighter, the appearance is accomplishing slender, and the structural period is therefore prolonged, making the bridge structure more susceptible to external forces such as pedestrian loads. In order to effectively reduce the vibration, civil engineers designed and installed Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). Through the tuning of the natural frequency of TMD to the structure, the vibration energy of the structure was absorbed and then dissipated by dashpot. However, this absorbed energy is a kind of green energy source to waste to be dissipated. In view of this, this article studies “Piezoelectric Tuned Mass Damper (Piezo-TMD)”, which uses piezoelectric materials to convert the mechanical vibration energy into electricity for energy harvesting. This research proposes the model and derives the equation of motion of the Piezo-TMD system. Different from the conventional TMD, Piezo-TMD has a circuit equation in addition to the mechanical equation, and these two equations are mutually coupled. The design goal of the Piezo-TMD in this paper is to maximize the average power for energy harvesting, and the numerical simulations are carried out with a pedestrian bridge structure. The simulation results show that the Piezo-TMD achieves the similar performance of vibration reduction as the conventional TMD and thus the vibration comfort requirement can be satisfied. Moreover, the vibration energy is further transferred to electricity for harvest to verify the feasibility of Piezo-TMD. In addition to tuning the mechanical natural frequency of the Piezo-TMD, the natural frequency of the circuit also needs to be tuned to the structure, so that the vibration energy of the structure can be effectively transferred to the circuit by using the resonance effect.

摘要五螺箍筋運用在正方形斷面鋼筋混凝土柱已證實具有優於傳統方箍筋的圍束能力。本研究目的在於探討五螺箍筋之剪力強度,設計雙曲率反覆載重試驗,測試大型剪力破壞五螺箍柱與傳統方箍柱對照組。測試結果指出,箍筋體積比相同、鋼筋降伏強度與混凝土抗壓強度相似的情況下,五螺箍柱展現稍弱於傳統方箍柱的極限剪力強度,所有五螺箍柱過最大剪力強度後力量衰退速率皆小於傳統方箍柱。高軸力五螺箍柱之破壞模式為箍筋拉斷,而高軸力傳統方箍柱之破壞模式為彎鉤鬆脫導致過早破壞。本研究發展一套改進離散計算剪力模型用來計算五螺箍柱剪力強度。與試驗結果比較,改進離散計算剪力模型能保守估計五螺箍剪力強度,此外,本模型具有與規範剪力公式用於傳統方箍剪力強度之相似保守程度。

Keywordsshear strength; five-spiral reinforcement; columns; discreet computational shear strength model; cyclic test.
AbstractFive-spiral reinforcement has been proved to have superior confinement capability to conventional rectilinear hoops. The objective of this research is to investigate the shear strength of five-spiral reinforcement. Large-scale columns with five-spiral reinforcement and control columns with conventional rectilinear reinforcement were tested in this research using double-curvature cyclic loading. Test results showed that with the same volume of reinforcement and similar reinforcement yield strength and concrete compressive strength, the shear strength of columns with five-spiral reinforcement was slightly less than that with conventional rectilinear reinforcement. However, the strength degradation after the peak strength for columns with five-spiral reinforcement was slower than that for columns with conventional rectilinear reinforcement. Under high axial load, the failure mode of columns with five-spiral reinforcement was fracture of spirals.In contrast, the failure mode of columns with conventional rectilinear reinforcement was the loosening of hook anchorage of the reinforcement. An improved discreet computational shear strength model is developed in this research and validated by the test results. The model can be conservatively used for estimating the shear strength of five-spiral reinforcement. Moreover, the model shows a conservatism for estimating the shear strength of five-spiral reinforcement similar tothat shown by the code shear strength equations for conventional rectilinear reinforcement.

Keywordsambient vibration method, cable tension estimation, mode shape, effective vibration length, multiple synchronous measurements, sensor deployment
AbstractThe complicated boundary conditions resulted from the anchorage systems at both ends usually deteriorate the accuracy of the ambient method for cable tension estimation. Motivated by tackling such a problem, a novel method incorporating the mode shape functions was recently proposed by this research group. More specifically, the fitting for the sinusoidal components of mode shape functions was adopted to determine the effective vibration length for each mode such that the interference from the complicated boundary conditions can be eliminated. The success of this method is most critically decided by the accurate reproduction of the sinusoidal components of mode shape functions based on multiple synchronous measurements. The current paper first explains the basic concepts of this cable tension estimation method with the theoretically derived mode shape functions and frequency equations. The finite element models are further employed to evaluate the accuracy of this method and establish the guidelines for the preferred sensor deployment in measurement points and spacing with the consideration of practical measurement limitations. Finally, the applicability of the developed guidelines and the corresponding accuracy in tension estimation are verified by demonstrative laboratory experiments with a prestressed strand.

標題混凝土潛變及自體收縮對鋼管混凝土柱之影響研究及設計建議
作者游雅如、陳振川、廖文正
關鍵字鋼管混凝土、潛變、自體收縮、應力轉移、B4-TW潛變收縮模式
摘要鋼管混凝土柱(Concrete-filled steel tubular column,簡稱CFT柱)具高強度、高韌性,被視為具有良好耐震性能的結構構件。早期鋼管內灌混凝土是為了增加構件的側向勁度,並延緩挫曲行為的發生。近年工程師開始將核心混凝土納入實際承重單元。CFT柱受力後,混凝土潛變就會隨時間持續發展,而柱構件為了保持其斷面力平衡,混凝土會將承擔的部分軸力移轉至鋼管,這些移轉量可能會使鋼管降伏,影響結構物的安全。此外,低水膠比的高強度自充填混凝土,也會產生大量自體收縮,使構件內混凝土及鋼管間應力移轉現象愈嚴重。本研究以有限元素分析軟體ABAQUS建置三維鋼管混凝土柱模型,選擇可反映台灣混凝土特性之B4-TW潛變收縮模式,研究混凝土潛變及自體收縮引致之構件內部應力移轉的情形。模擬結果顯示,在初始鋼骨應力設定為0.6f_y的情況下,無論荷載是否偏心,考慮混凝土潛變收縮效應的最終鋼應力皆有機會超出「鋼構造建築物鋼結構設計技術規範」檢核標準。而且在使用高強度自充填混凝土及構件高寬厚比的極端情況下,鋼應力可上升0.33f_y,將大幅超過原始設計值。未來設計應注重長期荷載效應,並考量混凝土長期變形對於鋼管應力的影響。
TitleStudy of the Influence of Creep and Shrinkage on Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns and Design Suggestions
AuthorYa-Ju Yu, Jenn-ChuanChern, Wen-Cheng Liao
KeywordsCFT, creep, autogenous shrinkage, stress transfer,B4-TW creep and shrinkage prediction model
AbstractConcrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) columns show not only high strength and high ductility but also exhibit favorable seismic performance. The primary intent of concrete infill is to increase lateral stiffness of member and delay the local buckling of the steel tubular. Once concrete is subjected to load, development of concrete creep begins. In order to maintain the equilibrium of forces of CFT section, part of axial load of concrete will be transferred to steel tubular which leads to the growth of steel stress. Furthermore, high strength self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with low water-to-cement ratio intensifies the rise of steel stress in CFT columns on account of high autogenous shrinkage.A three-dimensional finite element model of CFT column, which takes account of the phenomenon of concrete creep and shrinkage, is developed to evaluate stress transfer between concrete and steel in ABAQUS. B4-TWcreep and shrinkage prediction model is also applied to reflect a characteristic of high amount of paste in concrete mix designs in Taiwan owing to the soft nature of coarse aggregates. The analysis results show that under the condition of initial steel stress of 0.6݂௬, the final steel stress of CFT column is probably not qualified according to “Design and Technique Specifications of Steel Structures for Buildings” owing to the long term deformation of infilled concrete whether the load is eccentric or not. In the extreme case of high concrete compressive strength of SCC and high diameter to thickness ratio, the steel stress significantly exceeds the original design value with 0.33݂௬. It is suggested that relevant specifications should be revised accordingly in Taiwan.
標題考慮鋼筋腐蝕影響之RC建築物耐震能力初步評估法

關鍵字初步耐震能力評估、目視調查、劣化度、鋼筋腐蝕
摘要本研究參考過去計劃成果以建立鋼筋腐蝕構件之力學評估模型,對腐蝕構件之塑鉸容量進行折減,除進行相關試驗資料之比對與驗證外,根據文獻所收集一般典型校舍及街屋的常用構件尺寸及斷面配筋,計算柱構件於不同劣化程度下之強度折減係數,提供評估人員搭配既有之初步耐震能力評估法使用。換言之,評估人員可參考RC建築物耐久性能診斷技術手冊之建議,依目視調查構件外觀之劣損以判定其劣化程度,並參考本文建議之折減係數修正其強度。本文最後以一既有校舍為範例,考量構件於不同劣化程度下之耐震能力,以國震中心所建立之TEASPA搭配結構分析軟體ETABS進行詳細評估,並與本研究所提供之初步耐震能力評估進行比對,以了解其合適性。
TitlePreliminary Seismic Performance Evaluation Method of RC Buildings Considering the Corrosion Effect of Reinforcement
AuthorChien-Kuo Chiu, Zong-Han Jhan, Yi-Jing Cai
KeywordsPreliminary seismic performance evaluation, Visual inspevtion, Deterioration de gree, Corroded reinforcement
AbstractThis research establishes a mechanical evaluation model of a corroded RC member and reduces its plastic hinge capacity on the basis of the past research project. In addition to do the comparison and verification with the relevant experiment data, this research collects the general information of the size of column members and reinforcement arrangement in a typical reinforced concrete building and street house for investigation on the reduction factor of strength. Restated, the reduction factor of strength can be used to consider effect of the deterioration or corrosion in the strength or seismic capacity for a corroded RC column member. Therefore, this work can provide a preliminary seismic performance evaluation method for a corroded RC building structure. Additionally, for a corroded column member, its reduction factor of strength is determined based on the deterioration degree, which can be judged based on the visual inspection of deterioration following the technical textbook of the durability assessment of deteriorating RC building structures. Finally, taking an existing school building for an example, TEASPA which is established by NCREE is used to evaluate the seismic performance considering the corrosion and verify the application of the proposed preliminary seismic performance evaluation method for a corroded RC building structure.
標題以2018花蓮地震震害建物探討耐震初評方法之有效性

關鍵字震害,耐震評估,初步評估,鋼筋混凝土
摘要本研究蒐集2018年0206花蓮地震中12棟不同震害程度之建物資料,應用於三種國內現行耐震初步評估方法,以探討其有效性及合理性。三種耐震初評方法包括:鋼筋混凝土建築物耐震能力初步評估(PSERCB)、國家地震工程研究中心(NCREE)校舍耐震初評及街屋耐震快評;評估結果顯示,三種初評方法皆能大略篩選出耐震能力有疑慮之建物,各初評方法之評估結果與震害等級之相對關係亦大致符合,但皆呈現較保守之趨勢。各建物之三種初評結果大多相近,僅有二棟建物之NCREE街屋快評結果與另外兩種方法出現差異,且皆顯示PSERCB及NCREE校舍初評較NCREE街屋快評更為保守。
TitleVerification of Preliminary Seismic Evaluation Methods Using the Damaged Building Data of  2018 Hualien Earthquake

Keywordsearthquake damage, seismic evaluation, preliminary evaluation, reinforced concrete
AbstractData of thirteen buildings that damaged differently in the 2018 Hualien earthquake were collected and used to verify three preliminary seismic assessment methods. The three methods are all widely used in Taiwan, including the Preliminary Seismic Evalureliminary seismic evaluation of RC Buildings (PSERCB), the Preliminary Seismic Evaluation Method for Typical Building Structures of Primary and Secondary Schools by NCREE, and the Preliminary Seismic Evaluation Method for Typical Street-houses by NCREE. Comparison between the evaluation results and the observed damage states of the thirteen buildings showed that all three methods can identify the buildings that were heavily damaged. All three methods can sort the buildings in an approximately reasonable order. However, all three methods tended to give conservative results. The results from different methods for the same building were usually close. Only two buildings obtained different results between the NCREE method for street-houses and the other two methods. The PSERCB and the NCREE method for school buildings showed more conservative results than the NCREE method for street-houses in the two buildings.

摘要現有耐震評估法大多僅能用於評估建物之抗倒塌耐震能力,因其損傷準則係依據結構瀕臨倒塌之行為為主。此種耐震評估法並不適用於評估重要之功能性建物(例如:醫院、高科技廠)或隔震結構,因為此類建物係以強震中必須保有其功能性為其耐震目標之一。有鑑於此,本文乃針對具高度耐震性能要求之重要建物與隔震結構研議一套可考量多種性能目標之機率式耐震評估法及流程,此法乃參採FEMA356與ASCE 41-13之建議將建物之耐震性能等級分為:立即可用(IO)、生命安全(LS)、倒塌避免(CP)。各性能等級之損傷準則分為整體損傷準則與局部損傷準則,前者採用FEMA 356及PEER-TBI之標準;而後者則參採ASCE41-13所建議之構件損傷準則。根據這些損傷準則與增量動力分析之結果,再據以建立不同性能等級之易損曲線作為耐震評估之依據。若為隔震結構,則新增隔震極限(IL)之性能等級,以便將隔震層之安全性納入耐震評估中,其損傷準則係以隔震支承位移超過隔震設計規範所訂定之最大總位移 為依據。本文以一幢耐震力不足之老舊建物為例,並採用滑動隔震技術對該建物進行耐震補強,再以所建議之多重性能耐震評估法,對隔震補強前後結構之耐震性能進行評估與比較,以量化隔震補強對於不同耐震性能等級之效益。評估結果顯示,原先倒塌風險極高之原始建物,經過隔震補強後,各性能等級之損傷機率指標皆明顯下降。因此,本文提出之機率式耐震評估法適用於隔震或固定基礎結構,可供工程界完整評估建物於不同耐震性能等級中之風險。
TitleAn approach for probabilistic seismic performance assessment of buildings considering multiple performance levels

Abstract Most of current seismic assessment methods for buildings aim to evaluate the collapse risk of buildings, since the damage criteria of these methods are associated with the mechanism of building collapse. These methods may not be suitable for the assessment of functional facilities or seismic isolated buildings, whose performance objective is usually required to maintain their functionality after a strong earthquake. For this reason, this study proposes an approachfor probabilistic seismic assessment of buildings considering multiple performance levels. This approach adopts the performance levels defined by FEMA 356 and ASCE 41-13, namely, immediate occupancy (IO), life safety (LS) and collapse prevention (CP). For each performance level, both global and local damage criteria are defined according to FEMA 356 and ASCE 41-13, respectively. Based on these damage criteria together with the result of incremental dynamic analysis, the fragility curves for each performance level can be established for seismic assessment. For buildings with isolators, a performance level called isolation limit (IL) is also considered, in order to include safety of the isolation system in the assessment procedure. The damage criterion for IL performance level is defined as when the isolator drift exceeds the maximum total isolator displacement   given in the current isolation design code of Taiwan. For demonstration of the proposed assessment method, a 5-story old apartment building was consideredas an example. The building was retrofitted by using sliding isolators, and the seismic performance of the building before and after the implementation of isolation was evaluated using the proposed method and the results were compared, so that the benefit of retrofitting can be quantified. Theassessment results show that the retrofit with the isolators greatly reduces the damage probabilities of the building at all performance levels. This demonstrates that the proposed method can be applied to evaluate seismic performance of either fixed-based or isolated building with consideration of multiple performance levels.

關鍵字消防撒水系統、易損性分析、數值分析、簡化評估、耐震補強
摘要

建築結構之耐震性能在長年的研究,相較早期之建築物已有明顯的提升,在受震後的主要災害與經濟損失往往不是建築結構造成,而是非結構系統之破壞造成。醫院內非結構設備中的消防撒水系統受中小地震後,若發生天花板遭撒水頭碰撞發生擴孔、粉塵掉落,或於大震中,撒水系統之支撐破壞,失去支承能力,可能造成醫院中斷醫療機能,甚至發生淹水、火災等自發性災害。因此消防撒水系統需以性能設計法進行耐震評估,若耐震容量不足則須加裝補強裝置。

本研究以台大雲林分院為案例醫院,依據甲仙地震後的破壞機制,提出消防撒水系統耐震詳細評估法以及適合業界應用之簡化評估流程,並參考NFPA13(National Fire Protection Association, 2010)補強之建議,提出四種補強方案,依據各方案之消防管線系統耐震性能表現建立易損性曲線,探討不同地震歷時之分析結果與適用性,並比較各方案之差異,以期做為消防管線系統耐震設計或補強之參考。

KeywordsFire protection sprinkler system, fragility curve, numerical analysis, simplified assessment, seismic strengthening design
Abstract

In recent years, due to the vigorous development of performance design concepts, the seismic capacity of critical building structures (such as hospitals and high-tech factories) has been improved, and the major disasters and economic losses caused by the earthquake have changed from structural to non-structural systems, which include piping systems.

This study takes the medium-scale hospital in Southern Taiwan as an example to discuss the effects of installing strengthened elements on sprinkler piping systems which recommended by NFPA13. First, this research uses detailed analysis results to construct the fragility curves, and compares the fragility curves between before- and after-strengthened systems. Second, according to the dynamic characteristics of the sprinkler piping system, the simplified assessment method of original system and strengthened system are proposed in this study. It provides engineers with an alternative, rapid and approximate judgment in the seismic performances of piping systems based on in-situ observations and generic floor response spectrum.
