동조액체감쇠기(TLD)는 에너지 소산장치로써 구조물의 동적응답을 제어하기 위해 개발되었다. TLD는 풍하중에 의한 구조물의 응답을 제어에 매우 효과적임을 보여줬다. 그러나 TLD가 설치된 구조물의 지진응답의 제어에 대해서는 충분한 연구가 이뤄지지 않았다. 이 연구의 목적은 TLD가 설치된 구조물에 여러 동조비와 질량비를 대입하여 지진에 대한 TLD의 성능을 도출하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해, 수치해석 연구가 실시되며, 다른 토양 조건 또한 고려되었다. 그 결과 지진하중에 대한 TLD의 성능은 구조물의 고유주기, 감쇠비에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 또한 TLD의 동조비 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

If scour is occurred at shallow foundation of bridge, seismic performance of the bridge will be reduced. In order to evaluate accurate seismic response of bridge according to scour depths, modeling of foundation reflecting scour effect is important. In this study, taking into account the effect of the reduction in embedment depth of the shallow foundation by scouring, the soil around the foundation is modelled as an equivalent soil spring with various stiffness. Seismic fragility analyses for 3 types of bridges subjected to 4 types of ground motions classified into Site Class A, B, C, D are evaluated according to several scour depths. From the fragility analysis results, it can be observed that the deeper the scour depth, the higher probability of exceeding damage states. Also, seismic failure probability of asymmetric bridge is higher than that of symmetric bridge.

Permanent deformation plays a key role in performance based earthquake resistant design. In order to estimate permanent deformation after earthquake, it is essential to secure reliable response history analysis(RHA) as well as earthquake scenario. This study focuses on permanent deformation of an inverted T-type wall under earthquake. The study is composed of two separate parts. The first one is on the verification of RHA and the second one is on an effect of input earthquake motion. The former is discussed in this paper and the latter in the companion paper. The verification is conducted via geotechnical dynamic centrifuge test in prototype scale. Response of wall stem, ground motions behind the wall obtained from RHA matched pretty well with physical test performed under centrifugal acceleration of 50g. The rigorously verified RHA is used for parametric study to investigate an effect of input earthquake motion selection in the companion paper.

In order to increase seismic performance of nuclear power plant (NPP) in strong seismic zone, lead-rubber bearing (LRB) can be applied to seismic isolation system of NPP structures. Simple equivalent linear model as structural analysis model of LRB is more widely used in initial design process of LRB than a bilinear model. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to earthquakes categorized into 5 different soil-site classes are calculated by both of the equivalent linear- and bilinear- LRB models and compared each others. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of LRB and shear forces of containment in the case of the equivalent linear LRB model are larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model. From the seismic fragility curves of NPP containment structures isolated by LRB, it can be observed that seismic fragility in the case of equivalent linear LRB model are about 5~30 % larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model.

A seismic response analysis method for three-dimensional floating offshore structures due to seaquakes is developed. The hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the structure is calculated taking into account the compressibility of the sea water, the fluid-structure interaction, the energy absorption by the seabed, and the energy radiation into infinity. To validate developed method, the hydrodynamic pressure induced by the vibration of a floating massless rigid circular disk is calculated and compared with an exact analytical solution. The developed method is applied to seismic analysis of a support structure for a floating offshore wind turbine subjected to the hydrodynamic pressures induced from a seaquake. Analysis results show that earthquake response of a floating offshore structure can be greatly influenced by the compressibility of fluid, the depth (natural frequencies) of the fluid domain, and the energy absorption capacity of the seabed.

This paper presents a detailed procedure for a nonlinear soil-structure interaction of a seismically isolated NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) structure using the boundary reaction method (BRM). The BRM offers a two-step method as follows: (1) the calculation of boundary reaction forces in the frequency domain on an interface of linear and nonlinear regions, (2) solving the wave radiation problem subjected to the boundary reaction forces in the time domain. For the purpose of calculating the boundary reaction forces at the base of the isolator, the KIESSI-3D program is employed in this study to solve soil-foundation interaction problem subjected to vertically incident seismic waves. Wave radiation analysis is also employed, in which the nonlinear structure and the linear soil region are modeled by finite elements and energy absorbing elements on the outer model boundary using a general purpose nonlinear FE program. In this study, the MIDAS/Civil program is employed for modeling the wave radiation problem. In order to absorb the outgoing elastic waves to the unbounded soil region, spring and viscous-damper elements are used at the outer FE boundary. The BRM technique utilizing KIESSI-3D and MIDAS/Civil programs is verified using a linear soil-structure analysis problem. Finally the method is applied to nonlinear seismic analysis of a base-isolated NPP structure. The results show that BRM can effectively be applied to nonlinear soil-structure interaction problems.

일반적으로 지진취약도를 평가할 때 사용되는 해석방법 중 하나인 역량스펙트럼 방법은 증분동적해석에 비해 해석의 정확성이 떨어지는 제한점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 증분동적해석이 가장 정확도가 높은 해석기법이라는 점에 착안하여 증분동적해석을 이용한 지진취약도 곡선의 도출과정을 제안하였다. 타당성 비교를 위하여 역량스펙트럼 방법과 제안된 방법으로 도출한 취약도 곡선을 비교하여 두 해석기법에 의한 지진취약도 곡선의 경향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Slight damage와 Moderate damage의 경우 두 해석방법이 유사한 곡선 경향을 보이나 Extensive damage와 Complete damage의 경우에는 IDA방법에 의한 곡선이 더 가파른 경향을 보였다. 이는 구조물의 거동을 이상화하여 극한점 이후 구조물의 저항 강도가 떨어지지 않는다고 가정하는 역량스펙트럼 방법의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.

Considering a rigorously fluid-structure interaction, a method for an earthquake response analysis of a floating offshore structure subjected to vertical ground motion from a seaquake is developed. Mass, damping, stiffness, and hydrostatic stiffness matrices of the floating offshore structure are obtained from a finite-element model. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible, nonviscous, ideal fluid. Hydrodynamic pressure, which is applied to the structure, from the sea water is assessed using its finite elements and transmitting boundary. Considering the fluid-structure interaction, added mass and force from the hydrodynamic pressure is obtained, which will be combined with the numerical model for the structure. Hydrodynamic pressure in a free field subjected to vertical ground motion and due to harmonic vibration of a floating massless rigid circular plate are calculated and compared with analytical solutions for verification. Using the developed method, the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure subjected to a vertical ground motion from the seaquake is obtained. It is concluded that the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure to vertical ground motion is severely influenced by the compressibility of sea water.

본 연구에서 피뢰기의 지진취약도 해석은 역량스펙트럼 방법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 많은 구조부재를 가진 구조물의 지진취약도 해석은 수십 혹은 수백 개의 지진하중에 대한 비탄성 지진응답을 계산하는 것이 요구되기 때문에 역량스펙트럼 방법과 같은 간단한 방법이 응답이력해석 보다 적합하다. 일반적으로 역량스펙트럼 방법에 의해 평가된 지진응답의 정확성은 응답이력해석에 의한 결과의 정확성 보다 떨어진다. 역량스펙트럼 방법의 정확성을 향상시키기 위하여 등가단자유도 방법과 성능점 계산기법이 적용되었다. 지진취약도에 대한 지진에 대한 지반효과를 평가하기 위하여 60개의 다른 지반종류의 지반운동을 입력지진으로 선정하여 사용하였다. 역량스펙트럼 방법과 응답이력해석에 의한 지진취약도 곡선의 비교로부터 역량스펙트럼 방법에 의한 지진취약도 곡선이 응답이력해석에 의한 지진취약도 곡선과 상당히 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 피뢰기의 주된 지진에 의한 파괴모드는 부싱의 파손임을 알 수 있었다.

This paper examines the pounding problem between adjacent decks subjected to strong earthquakes. The elastomeric bearings in an isolated bridge reduce the stresses on the superstructure and cushion the impact by transferring smaller seismic forces to the substructure. On the other hand, these bearings also allow large horizontal displacement of the superstructure due to seismic forces. Bridges having various supporting soil conditions and different frequency ratios between adjacent decks are investigated by numerical analysis. In the analysis, decision making is conducted whether the collision took place or not and, the magnitude of pounding force and the duration time of collision are obtained and the results are discussed.

The seismic evaluation of electric power facilities in the switchyard of nuclear power plants is currently insufficient. In order to evaluate the seismic performance of lightning arrester subjected to four types of earthquake (near- and far-fault earthquakes, NEHRP Site Class A&B and D earthquakes), seismic fragility analysis using maximum likelihood estimation is performed considering various damage states. The comparison of the seismic fragility curves for three main parts of lightning arrester that are the busing, anchor and steel frame, reveals that the failure of lightning arrester is governed by the bushing damage mode such as porcelain cracking.

In this study, the capability of an existing analysis method for the fluid-structure-soil interaction of an offshore wind turbine is expanded to account for the geometric nonlinearity and sea water drag force. The geometric stiffness is derived to take care of the large displacement due to the deformation of the tower structure and the rotation of the footing foundation utilizing linearized stability analysis theory. Linearizing the term in Morison’s equation concerning the drag force, its effects are considered. The developed analysis method is applied to the earthquake response analysis of a 5 MW offshore wind turbine. Parameters which can influence dynamic behaviors of the system are identified and their significance are examined.

In order to verify the reliability of numerical site response analysis program, both soil free-field and base rock input motions should be provided. Beside the field earthquake motion records, the most effective testing method for obtaining the above motions is the dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test. However, need is to verify if the motion recorded at the base of the soil model container in the centrifuge facility is the true base rock input motion or not. In this paper, the appropriate input motion measurement method for the verification of seismic response analysis is examined by dynamic geotechnical centrifuge test and using three-dimensional finite difference analysis results. From the results, it appears that the ESB (equivalent shear beam) model container distorts downward the propagating wave with larger magnitude of centrifugal acceleration and base rock input motion. Thus, the distortion makes the measurement of the base rock outcrop motion difficult which is essential for extracting the base rock incident motion. However, the base rock outcrop motion generated by using deconvolution method is free from the distortion effect of centrifugal acceleration.

전단벽-골조 구조시스템의 구조적인 거동은 휨거동하는 전단벽과 전단거동하는 골조의 상호작용에 의하여 결정된다. 이러한 전단벽-골조 구조물의 거동특성을 효과적으로 고려하기 위하여 선행 연구에서는 2차원 T형 강체를 사용한 단순 해석 모델을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 이를 바탕으로 편심코어를 가진 전단벽-골조 구조물에 대한 효율적인 해석모델을 제안한다. 2차원 등가모델을 3차원으로 확장하여 비틀림 거동을 고려할 수 있도록 하였고, 그 결과 제안하는 등가모델이 편심코어를 가지는 전단벽-골조 구조물에도 적용가능 하도록 하였다.
