Recently, damage to domestic facilities due to strong winds and typhoons is increasing. This study focused on sign structures among various vulnerable facilities. The evaluation of wind fragility was performed considering the destruction of the anchor for fixing, which is one of the failure modes of the sign structures. The performance evaluation of the anchor for fixing was carried out to derive the wind fragility. Three parameters were set and twelve anchor types were selected to perform the pull-out and shear tests. The resistance performance was estimated based on the experimental results. Wind loads were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on this, we derive the wind fragility according to the wind exposure category. Finally, the change of the wind exposure category and the evaluation of the wind fragility according to the experimental parameter were performed.

In this study, the fragility for transmission tower subjected to wind disaster, which has the greatest influence on transmission tower, was developed for 154kV transmission tower located between Yangyang and Sokcho city. The resistance capacity and the limit state required for the evaluation of the fragility were divided into the major part and the auxiliary part in the steel tower. Moreover, the failure of tower was defined as the yielding stress of each member in the tower which could be used to determine their resistance performance. Domestic wind design guideline and criteria for transmission tower was used to determine the wind loads demand on the tower. By comparing the loading demand and resistance capacity, the failure of tower could be determined which in turn used to derive the wind fragility. The results obtained in this study could be used as a reference for damage prediction system of transmission tower and similar structures.

The improvement in computing systems and sensor technologies devotes to conduct data-driven structural health monitoring algorithms for existing civil infrastructures. Despite of the development of techniques, the uncertainty oriented from the measurement results in the discrepancy to the actual structural parameters and let engineers or decision makers hesitate to adopt such techniques. Many studies have shown that the modal identification results can be affected by the uncertainties due to the applied methods and the types of loading. This paper aims to compare the performance of modal identification methods using Structural Modal Identification Toolsuite (SMIT) which has been developed to facilitate multiple identification methods with a user-friendly designed platform. The data fed into SMIT processes three stages for the comprehensive identification including preprocessing, eigenvalue estimation, and post-processing. The seismic and white noise response for shear frame model was obtained from numerical simulation. The identified modal parameters is compared to the actual modal parameters. In order to improve the quality of coherence in identified modal parameters, several hurdles including modal phase collinearity and extended modal amplitude coherence were introduced. Numerical simulation conducted on the 5 dof shear frame model were used to validate the effectiveness of using these parameters.

In this study, finite element (FE) analysis was performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the water treatment plant, which is a major state of the art water treatment plant, to predict tensile cracks and compressive failure. The FE model simulation for two facilities of the water purification plant was made considering the initial conditions, boundary conditions and water effect. For the nonlinear dynamic analysis, seismic analysis was performed using ground acceleration. Tensile cracks and compressive failure are analyzed and the effects on the structures are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, tensile cracks can be predicted to occur in the main structure.

The probabilistic seismic safety assessment is one of the methodology to evaluate the seismic safety of the nuclear power plants. The site characteristics of the nuclear power plant should be reflected when evaluating the seismic safety of the nuclear power plant. The Korea seismic characteristics are strong in high frequency region and may be different from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.60, which is the design spectrum of nuclear power plants. In this study, seismic response of a nuclear power plant structure by Pohang earthquake (2017.11.15. (KST)) is investigated. The Pohang earthquake measured at the Cheongsong seismic observation station (CHS) is scaled to the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.2 g and the seismic acceleration time history curve corresponding to the design spectrum is created. A nuclear power plant of the containment building and the auxiliary buildings are modeled using OPENSEES to analyze the seismic response of the Pohang earthquake. The seismic behavior of the nuclear power plant due to the Pohang earthquake is investigated. And the seismic performances of the equipment of a nuclear power plant are evaluated by the HCLPF. As a result, the seismic safety evaluation of nuclear power plants should be evaluated based on site-specific characteristics of nuclear power plants.

In order to solve the limitation of the long span arch structures, a numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the effects of embedded trench installation technique to the earth pressure of an underground arch-rib shaped structure. For the arch-rib shape, the parabolic curve and the circular shape were analyzed according to the span-rise ratio varying from 0.1 to 0.5. The finite element analysis program, ABAQUS (2016), was used to consider the soil - structure interaction. The results from the analysis was verified through comparison with the existing Geofoam application technique.

In this study, The recent national interest is focused on the welfare of the people, and new projects in the construction sector are being reduced, and the aging of infrastructure is not getting attention. In domestic case, most of the infrastructures were built in the 1970s to 1980s, and the road extension is also steadily increasing. Therefore, the costs to bridge maintenance from around 2010 by a similar route to that of advanced countries are also 4 times And it is time to pay attention to maintenance as well as construction. Therefore, a study was carried out on the valuation method considering bridge condition evaluation, which is a part of BIM library building and assembly program development. The proposed value evaluation method will be used as an index of the existence of bridges by comparing the cost required for maintenance and reinforcement of the target bridges and the costs required for dismantling and disposal in the bridge management system of the future program

계측응답에 대한 모드분해법은 대부분 물리공간에서 정의되고, 모드형상을 이용하여 일반화모드응답을 구하는데 적용된다. 구조물이 가지는 비고전 감쇠에 대한 기존 모드분해법의 한계를 극복하고 단조성을 가지는 모드형상의 분해가능성을 높이기 위하여 상태공간 모드분해법이 최근 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리공간에서 정의되었던 모드분해법을 상태공간 모드분해법으로 확장하는 새로운 기법을 제시하고, 이들이 가지는 모드분해 특성과 분해성능을 고찰하였다. 또한 기존 물리공간에서 정의되었던 FDD, BSS 모드분해법을 상태공간 모드분해법으로 확장하는 기법을 제시하였다. 상태공간에서의 모드 확장성을 위하여 구조물의 계측 가속도를 상태변수로 변환하고 이들로 구성된 상태공간을 구성하는 방법도 고찰하였다. 상태공간으로의 확장성과 분해성능을 수치해석을 통하여 검증하였으며, 그 결과 상태공간 모드분해법이 물리공간 모드분해법에 비하여 분해성능이 우수하며, 이론적으로 정의된 상태공간 모드형상과 유사하게 모드형상을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, natural period formular is presented for a RC shear wall structure with H-, T-, and L-shaped wall sections. The natural period formular proposed by Goel and Chopra and adopted in ASCE 7-10 was modified by using the ratio of the flange and web wall area. The natural periods of structures with H-shaped wall were numerically obtained, the results indicated that the ASCE 7-10 could not consider the natural period variation according to the length of the flange wall, but the proposed formula could do. Especially, ASCE 7-10 estimated much longer periods than eigenvalue analysis, and this implies that conservative seismic design is difficult. The periods by eigenvalue analysis exist between the upper and lower bounds given by the proposed formula, and conservative design is possible by using the proposed lower bound value. In order to verity the effectiveness of the proposed method, actual residential buildings with various types of flange walls are considered. Ambient vibration tests, eigenvalue analyses, and nonlinear dynamic analyses were conducted and the periods were compared with the values by ASCE 7-10 and the proposed formula. The results showed that the proposed formula could estimate more accurately the periods than ASCE 7-10.

The seismically isolated nuclear power plants shall be designed for design basis earthquake (DBE) and considered to ensure safety against beyond design basis earthquake (BDBE). In order to limit the excessive displacement of the seismic isolation system of the seismically isolated structure, the moat is installed at a certain distance from the upper mat supporting the superstructure. This certain distance is called clearance to stop (CS) and is calculated from the 90th percentile displacement of seismic isolation system subjected to BDBE. For design purposes, the CS can be obtained simply by multiplying the median displacement of the seismic isolation system against DBE by scale factor with a value of 3. The DBE and BDBE used in this study were generated by using 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to the nuclear standard design spectrum. In addition, latin hyper cube sampling was applied to generate 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to maximum - minimum spectra. For the DBE, the median displacement and the 99th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system were calculated. For the BDBE, the suitability of the scale factor was assessed after calculating the 90th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system.

This paper presents the novel observation model, called Modified Spherical Signature Descriptor(MSSD), capable of representing 2D image generated from 3D point cloud data. The Modified Spherical Signature Descriptor has a uniform mesh grid to accumulate the occupancy evidence caused by neighbor point cloud data. According to a kind of area such as wall, road, tree, car, and so on, the evidence pattern of 2D image looks so different each other. For the parameter learning of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) layers, these 2D images were applied as the input layer. The Convolutional Neural Network, one of the deep learning methods and familiar with the image analysis, was utilized for the urban structure classification. The case study on CNN practice was introduced in detail in this paper. The simulation results shows that the classification accuracy of CNN with 2D images of the proposed MSSD was improved more than the traditional methods' one.

본 연구에서는 역량스펙트럼법을 이용해 얻어진 구조물의 성능점을 확률적으로 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. ATC-40에 따라 역량스펙트럼법을 이용하여 4층 1경간 철골구조물의 성능점을 산정하였다. 요구스펙트럼을 이용하여 구조물의 성능한계를 초과하는지 여부를 분석하기 위해 구조부재의 소성변형각으로부터 정의되는 구조물의 성능한계에 대해 한계변위를 도출하였다. 또한 설계응답스펙트럼과 유사한 응답스펙트럼을 가지는 인공지진파 30개를 선정하여 스펙트럼 가속도에 따른 각 성능한계의 초과여부를 통해 fragility curve를 도출하였다. 관측된 초과확률을 이용하여 fragility curve를 도출하기 위해 maximum likelihood method를 사용하였다. 각 성능한계점에 대응하는 설계응답스펙트럼의 응답가속도값에서 성능한계점을 초과할 확률은 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 방식은 구조물의 성능점에 대해 지진파의 불확실성을 고려한 확률적 평가가 가능하고, 시간증분해석이 필요하지 않아 해석시간을 상당부분 단축시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

구조물의 감쇠비는 내풍성능을 평가하는 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 구조물의 실제 감쇠비는 대부분 계측된 응답을 기반으로 시스템 식별기술에 의하여 이루어진다. 그러나 예측된 감쇠비는 계측조건, 계측시간 및 시스템 식별기술에 따라 오차를 보이는 등 불확실성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기 개발된 가상 동적진동기(Virtual Dynamic shaker)에 주요 개념으로 사용되었던 외부하중 스펙트럼의 전체 평탄성을 국부 평탄성으로 개념을 확대하여 감쇠비 추정을 보다 정교하게 하는 기법을 개발하였다. 국부 평탄성을 개념을 사용하여 감쇠비를 구하고자 하는 대상 모드의 고유진동수 부근에 적용함으로서 보다 정확하게 감쇠비 추정하는 기법을 다루었다. 본 개발된 기법을 검증하기 위하여 고층건물의 상시진동에 대하여 적용하였으며, 기존 시스템 식별법, 자유진동실험에 의한 결과와 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 전체 평탄성을 가지는 개념에 비하여 국부평탄성을 가지는 VDS가 보다 정확하게 감쇠비를 추정하는 것을 보였다.

기류흐름에 의한 다양한 진동현상이 구조물에 발생한다. 이중 와류에 의한 진동은 구조물의 고유진동수와 일치하는 와류의 방출진동수에서는 Lock-in 현상에 의해 큰 진동을 유발하며 구조물에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 대부분의 와류 현상은 등류에서 관찰되는 현상을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 대기 경계층에서 높이에 따라 풍속이 변화하는 난류에 의하여 구조물에 발생하는 와류의 영향을 풍동실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 탄성체 모형실험으로부터 계측된 가속도로부터 하중추정법을 이용 하여 와류진동을 발생시키는 1차 모드 와류하중을 추정하였으며 그 특성을 분석하였다. 추정된 와류하중의 스펙트럼을 보면 구조물 최상층 풍속의 약 88-90%에 해당하는 풍속에서 와류방출진동수가 두드러지게 나타나면서 피크를 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 풍 속이 점차 증가할수록 와류하중의 스펙트럼의 진동수범위가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 난류에 의한 와류하중을 특성을 반영 하면 초고층 구조물 등에 발생하는 풍직각 방향의 진동현상을 보다 효과적으로 파악하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
