A new lighting support structure composing of two-way wires and pulley, a pulley-type wireway system, was developed to improve the seismic performance of a ceiling type lighting equipment. This study verifies the seismic performance of the pulley-type wireway system using a numerical approach. A theoretical model fitted to the physical features of the newly-developed system was proposed, and it was utilized to compute a frictional coefficient between the wire and pulley sections under tension forces. The frictional coefficient was implemented to a finite element model representing the pulley-type wireway system. Using the numerical model, the seismic responses of the pulley-type wireway system were compared to those of the existing lighting support structure, a one-way wire system. The addition of the pulley component resulted in the increasement of energy absorption capacity as well as friction effect and showed in significant reduction in maximum displacement and oscillation after the peak responses. Thus, the newly-developed wireway system can minimize earthquake-induced vibration and damage on electric equipment.

The performance enhancement of various damping systems from natural hazards has become an highly important issue in engineering field. In this paper, ENTA hysteretic dampers were tested under cyclic loadings to evaluate their performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation. The test results showed that the hysteretic dampers are effective damping systems to enhance the buildings performance for remodeling and retrofit of buildings. Also, the hysteretic dampers were modeled in FEM(Finite Element Method) structural analysis program. As comparing the computer modeling and the experiment, this study model reflects the nonlinear behavior of steel and derives the hysteresis loop.

In the companion papers (I, II), site-specific response analyses were performed at more than 300 domestic sites and a new site classification system and design response spectra (DRS) were proposed using the results of the site-specific response analyses. In this paper, the proposed site classification system and the design response spectra are compared with those in other seismic codes and verified by different methods. Firstly, the design response spectra are compared with the design response spectra in Eurocode 8, KBC 2016 and MOCT 1997 to estimate quantitative differences and general trends. Secondly, site-specific response analyses are carried out using VS-profiles obtained using field seismic tests and the results are compared with the proposed DRS in order to reduce the uncertainty in using the SPT-N value in site-specific response analyses in the companion paper (I). In addition, site coefficients from real earthquake records measured in Korean peninsula are used to compare with the proposed site coefficients. Finally, dynamic centrifuge tests are also performed to simulate the representative Korean site conditions, such as shallow depth to bedrock and short-period amplification characteristics. The overall results showed that the proposed site classification system and design response spectra reasonably represented the site amplification characteristic of shallow bedrock condition in Korea.

건물의 실제 편심은 일반적으로 계산된 값과 상당히 다르며, 정형 건물도 비틀림의 영향을 받는다. 질량분포의 비대칭성과 수직축에 대한 지반의 회전요소와 같은 요인들의 영향을 고려하고, 비틀림 비정형 건물의 취약성을 줄이기 위하여 내진설계규준에서는 우발편심과 비틀림 증폭계수를 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 정형건물의 다양한 형상비와 평면중심으로부터의 부재위치에 따른 비틀림 증폭계수의 영향 및 이 계수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하였고 보통암 지반에 위치한 다양한 편심과 형상비를 갖는 비선형 철근콘크리트 단층모델을 이용하여 비틀림 증폭계수를 검증하였다. 비선형 정적해석과 시간이력해석을 이용하여 구한 연약단부의 최대 정적변위와 동적변위는 비교적 일치하였으나 최대 정적비틀림과 동적비틀림의 차이는 편심크기가 작을수록 크게 나타났다. 1차 설계편심에 비틀림 증폭계수 적용유.무에 따라 연약단부 부재의 밑면전단력 증가가 미비하여 최대 정적변위의 증가비가 크지 않다.

원자력발전소에 설치되는 안전관련 캐비닛형 전기기기는 설치 전에 내진검증이 요구된다. 전기기기의 동특성분석은 내진 검증에 포함된 중요한 과정이며, 기기의 정확한 해석모델을 작성하기 위해서도 필수적으로 요구되는 업무이다. 이 연구에서는 입력진동수준에 따른 기기의 동특성 변화를 분석하기 위하여 원전 지진감시시스템 캐비닛을 대상으로 진동대시험을 수행하고, 입력진동운동의 수준별로 계측된 진동응답신호를 진동수영역분해법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 대상기기는 입력진동수준의 크기에 따라 동특성이 비선형적으로 변화하고, 국내 원전의 안전정지지진 수준 이하의 진동에서도 동특성이 비선형적 거동을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 입력진동 수준에 따라 전기기기의 동특성이 비선형적으로 변하는 원인은 대상기기의 특성과 입력진동수준을 고려할 때 일반적인 재료 비선형보다는 각 부품들의 마찰력과 기하학적인 비선형성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 전기 캐비닛의 입력진동수준에 따른 동특성의 비선형적 변화는 향후 안전관련 기기의 내진검증 업무에서 중요하게 검토되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

원자력발전소에 설치되는 주요 전기기기들의 내부 부품을 내진검증하기 위해서는 캐비닛내부응답스펙트럼이 필요하고, 이는 캐비닛의 각 위치에서 정확한 지진응답을 구한 후에 생성이 가능하다. 반면에 대부분의 전기기기는 질량과 강성 분포가 복잡하기 때문에 해석적 방법에 의해 동적 분석을 수행하는 것이 어렵다. 이러한 여건을 감안하여 이 연구에서는 해석과 시험을 조합하여 기기의 지진응답을 예측하는 간편한 절차를 제안하였다. 제안된 절차는 먼저 충격시험을 통하여 규명된 실험모드특성을 이용하여 독립된 모드방정식을 구성하고, 이로부터 모드응답을 계산한 다음, 각 모드응답을 중첩함으로써 구조물의 지진응답을 예측한다. 제안된 절차의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서, 별도로 제작된 단순 강재 프레임 시편에 제안된 절차를 적용하여 지진응답을 예측하고, 이를 실제 진동대시험을 통하여 계측한 결과와 비교하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 충격시험에 의해 얻어진 실험모드특성을 이용하여 구조물의 지진응답을 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

원자력발전소중 안전과 관련된 구조물은 지진의 가능성에 대비하여 그의 구조적 안전성과 가용성이 검중되어야 한다. 본 논문은 원자력발전소 보호시스댐 캐비넷올 예롤 들어 그에 대한 내진검증 방법올 보였다. 캐비넷의 유한요소모델을 작성하여 통특성올 구하였고 그 모우드값을 입력지진스펙트럼과 비교한 결과 구조물의 1 차모우드가 입력스펙트럼의 야앓와 일치함으로써 셜계변경의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이 peak 값을 피하기 위하여 캐비넷의 구조를 변경하였고 변경된 구조물에 대하여 웅답스텍트럽해석과 시간 이력해석올 수행하여 구조적 건전성과 가용성올 보임으로써 설계변경된 캐비넷의 내진검증을 확인하였 다

본 연구에서 제안하는 내진보강기법은 듀얼시스템으로 비내진상세로 설계된 저층구조물을 대상으로 적용하기 위한 기법이다. 듀얼시스템은 기존의 구조체, 외부보강체, 강재이력댐퍼로 구성되고 구조체와 외부보강체 사이에 강재이력댐퍼를 설치한다. 구조체와 외부보 강체는 강성과 적재하중에 의해 서로 다른 주기에 의해 상대변위가 발생되고 강재이력댐퍼를 통해 지진에너지를 흡수한다. 본 연구에서 제안 된 듀얼시스템의 내진성능을 검증하기 위해 동적실험을 수행한다. 동적 실험결과, 듀얼시스템 보강 시 에너지가 1.84배 더 많이 입력됨에도 불구하고 56%의 변형 저감과, 93%의 손상 저감이 됨에 따라 듀얼시스템 적용 시 내진성능을 향상시킬 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 연구결과는 듀얼시스템의 설계범위를 설정하기 위한 추후 연구의 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다.

Interest and requirement of seismic qualification for nonstructural components are increasing in South Korea after observing nonstructural component failures by Kyungju earthquake on 12, October, 2016. However, amplification of input motion by hight of building are not considered in most of seismic qualification or design for nonstructural components in South Korea. In this study, seismic loads are compared which is applied to seismic qualification or design for structural or nonstructural component. As a result, amplification effect by vertical location in a building for nonstructural component should be considered for efficient seismic qualifications. Also, further studies are needed how to apply those amplification effects to required response spectra.
