The methodology classifying structural types of concrete buildings in the existing seismic fragility functions is too simple to estimate the fragility of existing residential buildings and neighborhood living facilities, especially those below five stories. Their structural types are dependent on information contained in the building register such as main use, total floor area, story, permission date, and first story floor area of the individual building. All of this information is not considered for classifying types in the existing functions; therefore, the goal of this study was to suggest a methodology that classifies structural types of concrete buildings by utilizing such information. The results of this study showed that the suggested methodology can classify structural types better than the existing methodology. Nevertheless, there is still a need to simplify the methodology because fragility estimation demands quickness rather than accuracy.

지진 하중에 의해 피해를 받는 교각의 보강을 위한 방법론과 다양성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었지만, 단자유도에 대한 비선형 정적 분석에 대한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 교각을 구성하는 재료적 특성만이 변수로 간주되었다. 그러나, 교 각의 기하학적 요소와 보강 수단의 관계성에 관한 연구는 수행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 CFRP 재킷을 사용하여 캘리포 니아에 존재하는 비 내진 상세 콘크리트 교량 교각을 보강하고 형상 변화에 따라 (교각 직경, 전단 경간 비, 보강 재킷의 길이) 교량 교각의 지진 취약성 곡선 도출하고 내진 성능을 평가하였다. 상기의 목표를 달성하기 위해 Opensees 프로그램를 사용하여 문헌에서 인용할 수 있는 실험체를 모델링하고 반복 하중을 가하여 결과 비교를 통해 해석방법의 적절성을 결정하였다.

For the important safety system, two or more units of identical equipment or redundant components with similar function were installed to prevent abnormal failure. If the failure probability of such equipment is independent, this redundancy could increase the system safety remarkably. However, if the failure of each component is highly correlated by installing in a structure or experiencing an earthquake event, the expected redundancy effect will decrease. Therefore, the seismic correlation of the equipment should be evaluated quantitatively for the seismic probabilistic safety assessment. The correlation effect can be explained in the procedure of constructing fragility curves. In this study, several methodologies to quantify the seismic correlation in the failure probability calculation for multiple components were reviewed and two possible ways considering the realistic situation were selected. Simple examples were tested to check the applicability of these methods. The conversion method between these two methods was suggested to render the evaluation using the advantages of each method possible.

본 논문에서는 OpenSees 프로그램을 이용한 콘크리트 교량의 지진취약성 분석 방법에 대한 고찰을 제시한다. 교각 및 휨 부재 분산 비선형(distributed plasticity) 요소를 적용한 해석모델을 활용하여 지진에 대한 응답을 구하고 이를 통계적으로 처리하여 확률론적 지진취약성 분석을 수행한다. 응답 통계는 세기가 같은 지진파의 집단을 단계별로 scaling하는 stripe 방 법과 다양한 세기를 가진 지진파 집단을 선정하는 cloud방법을 적용하고 이 두 방법에 의한 분석결과의 차이를 비교한다. 한계 상태에는 교각의 휨변형과 교좌장치의 변위를 기준으로 산정한 다단계 한계상태를 적용하고, 여러 가지 한계상태를 취합한 시스템 취약성을 도출한다. 지진응답의 통계적 처리 방법과 교량의 손상 정의가 지진취약성 곡선에 주는 영향을 고찰한다.

최근 발생한 경주 및 포항 지진은 고주파 영역의 성분이 많이 포함된 지진파로 구조적 요소 뿐만아니라 비구조적 요소에 피해가 많이 발생하였다. 비구조적 요소 중 전기 캐비닛은 발전소의 발전 시스템 컨트롤러를 보관하는 함으로써 전기 캐 비닛의 피해는 안정적인 에너지 공급의 중단과 화재 등의 2차적인 피해로 확장될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기 캐비닛- 앵커 시스템의 유한요소 모델을 구축하고 검증하여 세계 각지에서 발생한 지진파 적용을 통한 지진 취약도 평가를 수행하고자 한다. 전기 캐비닛의 유한요소 모델의 경우 공진탐색 결과의 타겟 주파수와 약 1%의 오차가 발생하였으며 선설치 앵커의 유한 요소 모델은 실험결과와 비교하였을 때 초기 강성 및 최대 하중점이 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 0.2g, 0.5g, 0.8g, 1.2g로 스케 일을 변화시켜 시간이력해석을 수행하였으며 해석결과를 바탕으로 확률론적 안전성 평가인 지진 취약도 평가를 수행하였다. 0.2g 스케일의 시간이력 해석결과 경주 지진을 적용하였을 때 앵커에서 발생한 응력은 280.15MPa로 가장 크게 발생하였으며 고 주파 지진에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 앵커의 응력을 한계상태로 지진취약도 분석 시 0.2g와 0.5g 사이에서 기울기 가 급격히 변하였으며 캐비닛 최상단의 변위를 한계상태로 지진 취약도 분석 시 Z축 변위 보다 X축 변위에 대해 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다

A methodology to assess seismic fragility of a nuclear power plant (NPP) using a conditional mean spectrum is proposed as an alternative to using a uniform hazard response spectrum. Rather than the single-scenario conditional mean spectrum, which is the conventional conditional mean spectrum based on a single scenario, a multi-scenario conditional mean spectrum is proposed for the case in which no single scenario is dominant. The multi-scenario conditional mean spectrum is defined as the weighted average of different conditional mean spectra, each one of which corresponds to an individual scenario. The weighting factors for scenarios are obtained from a deaggregation of seismic hazards. As a validation example, a seismic fragility assessment of an NPP containment structure is performed using a uniform hazard response spectrum and different single-scenario conditional mean spectra and multi-scenario conditional mean spectra. In the example, the number of scenarios primarily influences the median capacity of the evaluated structure. Meanwhile, the control frequency, a key parameter of a conditional mean spectrum, plays an important role in reducing logarithmic standard deviation of the corresponding fragility curves and corresponding high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) capacity.

화력발전소 구조물 중 하나인 보일러 강구조물은 물탱크가 올라가게 되는 중요한 설비지만 그 중요성이 비해 지진에 대한 안전성 평가에 대한 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 취약도 곡선을 도출하고자 16개의 지진파에 12개의 PGA값을 선정하고 포 항지진을 포함해 총 200회의 동적 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 강재의 인장, 압축응력과 강구조물의 상대변위를 측정하였다. 강재 재료적 특성의 경우 변형은 발생하였으나 파괴는 발생하지 않았고, 상대변위의 경우 한계점에 못 미치는 변위가 발생하였다. 취약도 곡선 도출결과 국내의 지진구역 구분 및 지역계수를 기준으로 강재의 재료적 변형(400MPa)에서는 인장이 38%, 압축이 62.5%로 변형이 발생하였고, 상대변위는 0%의 확률로 한계점을 넘었다. 이러한 보일러 강구조물에 대한 취약도 곡선은 대상구조물에 대한 한 계상태를 판별하는 정량적 근거와 지진에 대한 안전설계시 활용될 수 있다.

Seismic performance of ordinary reinforced concrete shear wall systems commonly used in high-rise residential buildings is evaluated. Three types of shear walls exceeding 60m in height are designed by performance-based seismic design. Then, incremental dynamic analysis is performed collapse probability is assessed in accordance with the procedure of FEMA P695. As a result, story drift, plastic rotation, and compressive strain are observed to be major failure modes, but shear failure occur little. Collapse probability and collapse margin ratio of performance groups do not meet requirement of FEMA P695. It is observed that critical wall elements fail due to excessive compressive strain. Therefore, the compressive strain of concrete at the boundary area of the shear wall needs to be evaluated with more conservative acceptance criteria.

In order to increase the seismic safety of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, a technique to reduce the seismic load transmitted to the NPP structure by using a seismic isolation device such as a lead-rubber bearing has recently been actively researched. In seismic design of NPP structures, three directional (two horizontal and one vertical directions) artificial synthetic earthquakes (G0 group) corresponding to the standard design spectrum are generally used. In this study, seismic analysis was performed by using three directional artificial synthetic earthquakes (M0 group) corresponding to the maximum-minimum spectrum reflecting uncertainty of incident direction of earthquake load. The design basis earthquake (DBE) and the beyond design basis earthquakes (BDBEs are equal to 150%, 167%, and 200% DBE) of G0 and M0 earthquake groups were respectively generated for 30 sets and used for the seismic analysis. The purpose of this study is to compare seismic responses and seismic fragility curves of seismically isolated NPP structures subjected to DBE and BDBE. From the seismic fragility curves, the probability of failure of the seismic isolation system when the peak ground acceleration (PGA) is 0.5 g is about 5% for the M0 earthquake group and about 3% for the G0 earthquake group.

This paper presents a framework for developing aftershock fragility curves for reinforced concrete bridges initially damaged by mainshocks. The presented aftershock fragility is a damage-dependent fragility function, which is conditioned on an initial damage state resulting from mainshocks. The presented framework can capture the cumulative damage of as-built bridges due to mainshock-aftershock sequences as well as the reduced vulnerability of bridges repaired with CFRP pier jackets. To achieve this goal, the numerical model of column jackets is firstly presented and then validated using existing experimental data available in literature. A four-span concrete boxgirder bridge is selected as a case study to examine the application of the presented framework. The aftershock fragility curves are derived using response data from back-to-back nonlinear dynamic analyses under mainshock-aftershock sequences. The aftershock fragility curves for as-built bridge columns are firstly compared with different levels of initial damage state, and then the post-repair effect of FRP pier jacket is examined through the comparison of aftershock fragility curves for as-built and repaired piers.

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.

The friction pendulum system(FPS) is a kind of seismic isolation devices for isolating structures from an earthquake. To analyze the effect of friction materials used in the friction pendulum system, fragility analysis of LNG tank with seismic isolation system was conducted. In this study, titanium dioxide(TiO2) nanoparticles were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) matrix to produce friction materials attached to the FPS. The base moment of the concrete outer tank and the acceleration of the structure were evaluated from different mixing ratios of constituents for the friction materials. The seismic fragility curves were developed based on two types of limit state. It is confirmed that evaluation of combined fragility curves with several limit states can be applied to select the optimum friction material satisfying the required performance of the FPS for various infrastructure.

지진시 사회 인프라시설물의 피해는 시설물 자체의 피해보다 사회 전반에 걸친 2차 피해를 야기한다. 그 중, 지하 공동구 구조물은 통신, 가스, 전기 등 사회의 라이프라인에 해당하여 지진에 대한 취약성을 정확히 평가하여야 할 필요가 있다. 따 라서, 본 연구에서는 지하 공동구의 지진 발생 지반가속도에 따른 파괴가능성을 평가하였다. 평가를 위한 입력지반운동은 해 외 실측 지진데이터와 한반도에서 발생가능한 인공지진파를 차용하였으며, 지진해석 방법은 응답변위법과 시간이력해석법 을 사용하였다. 파괴여부를 판별하는 한계상태는 휨모멘트와 전단 파괴를 바탕으로 하였다. 취약도 함수 도출을 위한 방법은 최우도법이 사용되었으며, 그 분포함수는 대수정규분포로 가정하였다. 이는 지진시 지하 공동구 시설물의 피해 평가는 물론 지하 공동구 시설물의 내진설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Observations of the damages to high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) wall building structures caused by by recent earthquakes in Chile (Mw 8.8, February 2010) and New Zealand (February 2011, ML 6.3) have generally exceeded expectations. Firstly, this study estimated the seismic damage levels of 15-story RC box-type wall building structures using the analytical models calibrated by the results of a shaking table test on a 1:5 scale 10-story RC box-type wall building model. Then, the seismic fragility analysis of the prototype model was conducted by using the SAC/FEMA method and the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). To compensate for the uncertainties and variability of ground motion and its impacts on the prototype model, in the SAC/FEMA method, a total of 61 ground motion records were selected from 20 earthquakes, with a magnitude ranging from 5.9 to 8.8 and an epicentral distance ranging from 5 to 105km. In the IDA, a total of 11 ground motion records were used based on the uniform hazard response spectrum representing a return period of 2,475 years. As a result, the probabilities that the limits of the serviceability, damage control, and collapse prevention would be exceeded were as follows: from the SAC/FEMA method: 79%, 0.3%, and 0%, respectively; and from the IDA: 57%, 1.7%, and 0%, respectively.

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.

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.
