Current seismic design provisions such as ASCE 7-10 provide criteria for selecting ground motions for conducting response history analysis. This study is the sequel of a companion paper (I – Ground Motion Selection) for assessment of the ASCE 7-10 criteria. To assess of the ASCE 7-10 criteria, nonlinear response history analyses of twelve single degree of freedom (SDF) systems and one multi-degree of freedom (MDF) system are conducted in this study. The results show that the target seismic demands for SDF can be predicted using the mean seismic demands over seven and ten ground motions selected according to the proposed method within an error of 30% and 20%, respectively

For estimating the seismic demand of buildings, most seismic design provisions permit conducting linear and nonlinear response history analysis. In order to obtain reliable results from response history analyses, a proper selection of input ground motions is required. In this study, an accurate algorithm for selecting and scaling ground motions is proposed, which satisfies the ASCE 7-10 criteria. In the proposed algorithm, a desired number of ground motions are sequentially scaled and selected from a ground motion library without iterations.

The paper presents a new short-term dynamic displacement estimation method based on an acceleration and a geophone sensor. The proposed method combines acceleration and velocity measurements through a real time data fusion algorithm based on Kalman filter. The proposed method can estimate the displacement of a structure without displacement sensors, which is typically difficult to be applied to earthquake or fire sites due to their requirement of a fixed rigid support. The proposed method double-integrates the acceleration measurement recursively, and corrects an accumulated integration error based on the velocity measurement, The performance of the proposed method was verified by a lab-scale test, in which displacement estimated by the proposed method are compared to a reference displacement measured by laser doppler vibrometer (LDV).

건축구조기준(KBC-2016)에서는 팔각기둥 형상을 가진 구조물의 풍력계수는 형상비 25이상에서 1.4로 일정한 값을 적용하도록 하고 있다. 하지만 팔각뿔 형상인 첨탑 구조물은 팔각기둥과는 그 형상이 다르기 때문에 첨탑 구조물에 적용할 풍력계수에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 풍동실험을 이용하여 첨탑 구조물의 형상비 변화에 따른 풍력계수 특성을 규명하였다. 일반적으로 구조물에 작용하는 풍력계수는 형상비가 증가할수록 커진다. 하지만 특정 형상비를 초과하면 풍력계수는 더 이상 증가하지 않고 일정하게 수렴한다. 이러한 특성을 반영하기 위해, 예비실험은 형상비가 10~19.2인 모델에 대해 수행하였고, 풍력계수가 수렴하기 시작하는 형상비를 검토하였다. 그 결과 15 이상의 형상비에서 풍력계수가 약 1.1로 수렴하는 것으로 나타났다. 형상비 변화에 따른 풍력계수 변화를 고찰하기 위해 형상비 3~8.5 까지의 모형을 추가 제작하여 풍동실험을 수행하였다. 연구의 결과를 이용하여 형상비 변화에 따른 풍력계수의 변화를 경험식으로 제안하였고, 추세한 값들이 실험값 보다 작지 않도록 보정하였다.

Recently, measures for reducing noise and vibration of a railroad station are actively being developed to enhance its property value and comfort level of passengers. In this paper, the applicability of the recently developed vibration mitigation method utilizing a platform TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) by installing a spring-damper system beneath the platform is experimentally verified using a bench scale structure. The two-story bench scale structure is built to simulate a real railroad station, and vibration reduction effect is verified by comparing acceleration before and after applying the platform TMD at the 2nd floor of the structure. The design parameters of the platform TMD system is determined based on vibration analysis result and the MTMD (Multiple TMD) theory recently developed to enhance the effectiveness of the platform TMD method. The vibration is excited to the bench-scale structure using a vibrator. The performance test result for a spring-damper system is also presented. The result of the experiment reveals that the platform TMD method can reduce the vibration of the bench-scale structure by greater than 5dB(V).

In recent years, the number of earthquakes has increased worldwide. There has been an extreme increase on the Korea Peninsula, which is considered a safety zone for earthquakes. In particular, in the event of earthquakes, most structures on the Korea Peninsula are severely damaged, because most are not designed to withstand them. Damage to and destruction of civil structures, such as bridges, nuclear facilities, and dams, is worse than that of other structures. It is necessary to evaluate and predict the extent of damage by earthquake magnitude, as the magnitude of earthquakes is increasing as well as the frequency. A major feature of the occurrence of earthquakes is uncertainty. For this reason, it is necessary to adopt a stochastic approach, and studies using this approach are increasing. However, although there have been several studies on bridges and nuclear facilities, there have been few studies on probabilistic seismic risk evaluation for multi-functional weirs. Thus, this study presents 3D multi-functional weirs and performs a time history analysis by using LS-DYNA, a general structure analysis program. Probabilistic seismic fragility assessment is conducted by Monte Carlo simulation.

In Korea, the occurrence frequency of earthquakes has recently increased, compared with the past. So, the various damages for cultural properties due to earthquake can be expected, and especially fortress structure is vulnerable to earthquake. Therefore, the resonable seismic characteristics evaluation is required to secure the safety for fortress structure with the various construction and configuration types. Also, we should consider the various applied load conditions as design variables. To this end, this study classifies fortress structures according to the construction and configuration types, and then applies the discrete element method to model and analyze fortress structures. Finally, the seismic characteristics is evaluated through slip condition due to the analysis results considering the various design variables.

Recently, the damage caused by typhoons and strong winds, which frequently occur as a result of global climate change, is on the rise. Soundproofing and windshield walls installed on roads often fail to function because of damage due to strong winds. Therefore, in this study, strong wind fragility evaluation was performed to predict the probability of failure of soundproof / windproof walls from wind loads. A three-node bending experiment was carried out to investigate the material characteristics of the aluminum frame which was installed on the actual soundproof wall. Based on the results of this experiment, the resistance performance of target structure was calculated, and the frame damage was selected as the performance limit state. Wind loads acting on 4m x 1m individual element soundproof wall was compared with the resistance capacity by Monte Carlo simulation method. In the future, the evaluation of the strong wind safety of the sound barrier structure should be proceeded by setting the limit state and performing the vulnerability evaluation through the additional experimental data. This work can become guideline information for future design of soundproof and windproof wall.

Also, diagonal compression behavior governed the FRP panel in the steel frame specimen in the numerical analysis results.

As an alternative to conventional explosive methods for demolition of concrete structures and rocks, the use of non-explosive demolition agents can be considered to reduce noise, vibration, and dust emissions during the demolition process. In this study, we conduct finite element analysis for crack initiation and propagation caused by the expansion of non-explosive demolition agents in square concrete structures. The predicted crack patterns are compared with the experimental results in the literature. The minimum values of the required expansion pressure of non-explosive demolition agents are also estimated, which depend upon the arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of empty holes on the fragmentation of concrete structures, and discuss the effective arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes for fragmentation improvement.

Wind tower structure has relatively simple shape compared to other structures, but due to its characteristics, various and irregular environmental loads are applied. These loads cause vibrations at tower, and can cause failure of the structure if over vibration occurs. Vibration occurred at structures is gradually exhausted by damping of the structures, and if high damping is ensured, the failure of the structure due to over vibration can be prevented. In this study, the vibration reduction effects are to be analyzed through FEM analysis by examining the top displacement, bottom moment, and bottom fatigue damage of the structure depending on damping ratio of the wind tower structure.

This study investigates dynamic characteristics of a 2MW wind turbine structure by long-term response monitoring with accelerometers, tiltmeter and strain gauges. The object wind turbine structure is located in Jeju Island, Korea. The natural frequency and damping ratio were evaluated by least-square frequency domain decomposition and random decrement technique using acceleration response data. As a result, it was found that natural frequencies with 1st, 2nd and 3rd modes, and blade passing frequencies with 1P, 2P and 3P were clearly showed from power spectral densities of acceleration reponses. Furthermore, 1st model frequencies were almost constant with increase in standard deviations of acceleration responses. Another notable observation was that when standard deviations of acceleration responses were small, damping ratios showed to diverge. However, when standard deviations of acceleration responses had large values, damping ratios were converged to about 0.5%.
