최근 국내에서는 원자력발전소의 모듈화 공법에 적용하기 위하여 SC(steel plate concrete) 구조를 개발하는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 전단보강이 없는 비보강 SC 전단벽의 횡방향 내진성능 및 강성특성에 대하여 분석하기 위하여 전단벽 모형시편을 제작하고, 이를 대상으로 정적가력실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여, 이 논문에서는 비보강 SC 구조의 횡력에 대한 파괴모드의 유형을 분석하고, 단면강도와 부재의 강성 특성을 검토하였다. 그리고 SC 구조용 설계기준에서 제시하는 단면의 강도 계산식과실험결과를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 비보강 SC 전단벽의 파괴 형태의 하나는 콘크리트와 강판의 부착 상실로 인한 휨전단파괴라는 사실을발견하였다. SC 구조 전단벽의 벽체 길이방향 거동은 파괴 시까지 벽체 외측의 강판이 내부 콘크리트를 구속하는 효과를 기대할 수 있으므로 연성능력이 향상되는 것이 확인되었다

Multi-objective optimization using response surface methodology-based surrogate model was employed to find optimal design parameter of TMD installed on structure under the El Centro earthquake. It is found that the RSM based weighted multi-objective optimized damper improves frequency responses and root mean square displacements of the structure without TMD by 31.6% and 82.3% under El Centro earthquake, respectively, and has an equal or higher performance than the conventionally designed dampers with respect to frequency responses and root mean square displacements and when applied to earthquakes.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) is a well-known vibration absorbing equipment in the civil engineering realm. Although the dampers are typically used separately, combined use of dampers worth investigation. For that purpose, a numerical model of multi-story building equipped with TMD and VED was developed using finite element software SAP2000. In this study, modal parameter based distribution of hybrid damper system (HDS) using Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) together has been adopted to reduce the seismic response of the structure.

Bayesian Approach for efficient collapse response assessment of structure is used in this study. The approach facilitates integration preliminary information of risk assessment with numerical analysis results to get more efficient fragility assessment. We can get the preliminary information from different sources, including professional experience, information on the building design criteria, experimental results and simplified linear dynamic analysis. The combination of prior collapse risk information with nonlinear analysis simulations aims to improve computational and statistical efficiency. In this study, we considered a 62m cantilever and independent intake tower to assess its seismic fragility. The approach provides significant improve the statistical and computational efficiency of seismic fragility as well as precise confidence band of fragility curve compared to alternative method.

This study presents the comparison of analytical fragility functions obtained from analyses result of spectrum matched to unmatched ground motions expressed in terms of percentage and ratio. Seven random seed earthquake ground motions were matched to United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) specified design response spectrum to carry out time history analyses of a base-isolated nuclear power plant structure. Fragility functions were estimated using the maximum likelihood method from the obtained responses for the selected ground motions. As anticipated the seismic responses obtained using matched time series were higher than unmatched time series which finally led a higher mean. Standard deviation for both cases were compared and for spectrum matched case smaller result were noticed.

This study has been considering cable stayed bridge for structural health monitoring purpose . To monitor the bridge, 6 different locations (like 2 points from deck, 2 points from pylon, 1 points from side span and 1 points from girder) were introduce to find the satellite signal received from the GPS antenna. According to the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS-84) coordinate system, the GPS station signal was measured in the 6 observed points. After that, Statistical moment analysis is applied to assess the condition of those 6 position of this long span bridge. Finally, the Statistical moment analysis results clearly indicate the present condition of the long span bridge at 6 different locations. The time series statistical moments really able to detect the damage condition and localization of the long span bridge.

In here, a Modified Diagrid Structural System (MDSS) has been proposed to compare with diagrid structural system, Regular Frame with Optimized Single Tuned Mass Damper (RFwOSTMD) system and Regular Frame without Optimized Single Tuned Mass Damper (RFwoOSTMD) system. To this aim, a rectangular reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C) building and a diagrid R.C.C multi-storey building were considered, and analyzed without controlling device, with optimized TMD, Diagrid Structural System (DSS), and MDSS. All of the models are investigated by using SAP2000. All of the buildings are analyzed and evaluated under El-centro earthquake. The response of proposed MDSS under earthquake is compared with the RFwoOSTMD, RFwOSTMD and DSS. The results show that the proposed MDSS is preferable than the DSS, as well as RFwOSTMD.

In this present study to investigate the seismic response of an offshore wind turbine, incorporating with bottom fixed Jacket support structure using semi-coupled analysis method. Fully coupled, aero-servo-hydro-elastic simulations and uncoupled seismic simulation have been done to carry out this investigation. The fully coupled simulation is accomplished and executed by FAST 8 (NREL, USA) to determine the global loads, which consists of six components of forces and moments at x-y-z directions of the tower base. In the uncoupled case, transient analysis has been done using the tower base loads as well as seismic loads by ANSYS. This paper presents a precise dynamic analysis, which can evaluate the dynamic response of three crucial points (tower top, tower base and mud line of substructure) under seismic load to make better decision in the case of structural design of wind turbine.

The intent of this research is to apply DOE in mix proportioning of high strength self-compacting concrete (HSSCC) and to assess the effect of different process parameters on HSSCC. The effect of water-binder ratio, cement content, fine aggregate percentage, fly ash content and superplasticizer content on compressive strength, passing ability, and manufacturing cost were studied.

This study investigated the effect of surface water on concrete substrate on adhesive strength in tension of very high flowable SBR-modified cement mortar. Polymer cement ratio(P/C) were 10, 20, 30, 50 and 75% and the weight ratio of fine aggregate to cement were 1:1 and 1:3. The specimens obtained with different P/C and C:F were characterized by unit weight, flow test, crack resistance and adhesion test. Three selected specimens among these tested specimens were studied about the effect of surface water evenly sprayed on concrete substrate on adhesive strength.

This study have interests in presenting the process of material optimization design. This study was designed by using design of experiment.
