원전 내 전기기기의 내진성능 평가는 안전성 확보에 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 원전에 설치되는 전기기기의 동특성 및 현장조사 결과를 참고하여 모형 캐비닛과 앵커기초를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 모형 캐비닛을 대상으로 진동대실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 유한요소모델을 작성하고 지진응답해석을 수행하였다. 입력지진동이 커짐에 따른 실험 및 해석 결과를 비교하여 모형 캐비닛의 지진거동특성을 분석하였다. 두 결과에 대한 모형 캐비닛의 지진거동은 다르며 내진성능에 큰 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 캐비닛과 콘크리트 기초 사이의 상호작용을 고려할 수 없는 경우 캐비닛의 지진거동 특성은 실험적으로 평가하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단하였다.

Phayathonzu temple in Myanmar was made of masonry bricks, and so it was vulnerable to lateral load such as earthquake. Especially, it has many difficulties in structural modeling and dynamic analysis because the discontinuous characteristics of masonry structure should be considered. So, it is necessary to provide the seismic performance evaluation technology through the inelastic dynamic modeling and analysis under earthquake loads for the safety security of masonry brick temple. Therefore, this study analyzes the seismic behavior characteristics and evaluates the seismic performance for the 479 structure with many cracks and deformations. Through the evaluation results, we found out the structural weak parts on earthquake loads.

Due to the recent increase in domestic seismic activity and the proliferation of PC structure buildings, there is a pressing need for a fundamental study to develop and revise the design criteria for Half-PC slabs. In this study, we propose criteria for determining the rigid diaphragm based on the aspect ratio of Half-PC slabs and investigate the structural effects based on the presence of chord element installation. This study concluded that Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 3.0 or lower can be designed as rigid diaphragms. When chord elements are installed, it is possible to design Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 4.0 or lower as rigid diaphragms. In addition, the increase in the aspect ratio of the Half-PC slab leads to a decrease in the in-plane stiffness of the structure, confirming that the reduction effect of the maximum displacement in force direction (max ) due to the increase in wall stiffness is predominantly influenced by flexibility.

The seismic separation joint is an important device that absorbs vibration displacement from earthquake shock and protects fire extinguishing pipes and various utility pipes. In this study, the mechanical behavior occurring in U-typed and V-typed seismic separation joint was analyzed according to the length of the bellows, the length of the elbow straight pipe, and the open angle. As a result, as the length of the bellows increased, the stress and natural frequency decreased. In addition, as the length of the elbow straight pipe increased, the stress tended to decrease in the case of forced displacement in the vertical direction. As the open angle increased, the stress in the case of forced displacement in the left and right directions increased.

The Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes caused damages to many cultural properties; particularly, stone pagoda structures were significantly damaged among masonry cultural properties. To preserve these structures, it is necessary to understand their dynamic behavior characteristics under earthquakes. Analyses on such areas as deformation, frequency, maximum acceleration, permanent displacement, sliding, and rocking have to be performed. Although many analytical studies have already been conducted, dynamic behavior studies based on experiments are insufficient. Therefore, this study analyzed dynamic behavior characteristics by performing a shaking table experiment on a three-story stone pagoda structure at the Cheollongsa temple site damaged by the Gyeongju earthquake. As a result of the experiment, the displacements of stylobates did not occur significantly, but the tower body parts rotated. In particular, the rotation of the 1F main body stone was relatively larger than that of the other chief body stones because the 1F main body stone is relatively more slender than the other parts. In addition, the decorative top was identified as the component most vulnerable to sliding. This study found that the 1F main body stone is vulnerable to rocking, and the parts located on the upper part are more vulnerable to sliding.

In this study, a structural health monitoring system for cable-stayed bridges is developed. In the system, condition assessment of the structure is performed based on measured records from seismic accelerometers. Response indices are defined to monitor structural safety and serviceability and derived from the measured acceleration data. The derivation process of the indices is structured to follow the transformation from the raw data to the outcome. The process includes noise filtering, baseline correction, numerical integration, and calculation of relative differences. The system is packed as a condition assessment program, which consists of four major processes of the structural health evaluation: (i) format conversion of the raw data, (ii) noise filtering, (iii) generation of response indices, and (iv) condition evaluation. An example set of limit states is presented to evaluate the structural condition of the test-bed and cable-stayed bridge.

Nuclear power plants in Korea were designed and evaluated based on the NRC's Regulatory Guide 1.60, a design response spectrum for nuclear power plants. However, it can be seen that the seismic motion characteristics are different when analyzing the Gyeongju earthquake and the Pohang earthquake that has recently occurred in Korea. Compared to the design response spectrum, seismic motion characteristics in Korea have a larger spectral acceleration in the high-frequency region. Therefore, in the case of equipment with a high natural frequency installed in a nuclear power plant, seismic performance may be reduced by reflecting the characteristics of domestic seismic motions. The failure modes of the equipment are typically structural failure and functional failure, with an anchorage failure being a representative type of structural failure. In this study, comparative analyses were performed to decide whether to consider the inelastic behavior of the anchorage or not. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic performance of the anchorages could be increased by considering the inelastic behavior of an anchorage.

현무암 섬유를 함유한 BFRP 시트와 복합섬유 패널로 보강한 정사각형 단면 철근콘크리트 기둥에 대한 반복하중 실험을 수행하여 지진 거동을 검토하였다. 30%가량의 상당한 수준의 축하중비 조건 하에서 전단 손상이 발생하였음에도 불구하고, 보강 실험체에서 변위연성도 및 에너지 소산능력의 증가를 확인하였다. 실험체의 파괴 모드는 휨-전단 고연성 파괴로 분류 되며, 철근콘크리트 구조물에서 자주 관찰되는 파괴 모드이다. 하지만 이러한 파괴에 이르는 정사각형 단면 철근콘크리트 기둥에 BFRP을 포함한 복합재료 보강이 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 현재까지 광범위하게 이루어지지는 않았다. 복합재료로 보강한 철근콘크리트 기둥의 휨-전단 거동을 보다 깊이 이해하는데 본 연구의 결과가 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

최근 국내에서 발생한 경주지진 및 포항지진이 도심지 및 원자력발전소 주변에서 발생함에 따라 인근 주요 구조시스 템에 피해를 발생시킨 바 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 원전 배관계통의 지진 거동 특성을 실험 및 해석적으로 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 내진성능을 평가하는 연구를 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, 원전 배관계통을 대상으로 한 진동대 시험 결과를 바탕으로 배관 수치해석 모델을 수립하고 이를 시험 결과를 통하여 검증한다. 또한, 이러한 검증된 수치해석모델을 기반으로 배관계통의 내진성능을 평가한다. 수치해석 모델 검증 결과, 수립된 수치모델의 고유진동수, 감쇠비 및 변위 응답이 진동 대시험 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 검증된 수치모델을 바탕으로 평가된 내진성능 값은 기존 원전 배관의 내진성능 값의 범위와 비교적 유사한 값으로 평가되었다. 이는 설계기준지진을 크게 상회하는 값이지만, 원전 주요 기기 임을 감안할 때 추가적인 내진성능 상향이 확보되면 원전 지진 안전성 향상에 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 원전 배관계통 내진성능평가를 위한 정량적인 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

연약지반이 두껍고 다양한 지층으로 구성된 지역에 건설되는 단일형 현장타설말뚝 교량은 다양한 지층을 통해서 단일형 말뚝으로 입력되는 지반운동에 대해서 내진안전성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 설계지반운동에 부합되는 다수의 인공합성지진을 생성하여 이를 암반의 입력지반으로 하여 지반해석을 수행하여 각 지층에서의 지반가속도이력을 산정하였다. 이 가속도이력을 이용하여 각 지층의 지반을 등가스프링으로 모델화하고, 각 지층에서의 가속도시간이력을 입력지반 운동으로 하는 다지점 가진 지진해석을 수행하였다. 연약층의 비선형거동특성으로 입력지반운동의 세기는 크게 증폭되지 않아서 교량은 탄성영역 내에서 거동하였다. 한편, 특정 지층에서 산정된 가속도이력을 모든 지반스프링에 동시에 입력하면 응 답이 감소하였다. 따라서, 다지점가진 해석을 수행하지 않으면 이러한 형식의 교량의 내진성능을 과대평가할 수 있다.

Recently, the occurrence frequency of earthquake has increased in Korea, and many cultural assets have been damaged. Cheomseongdae is a valuable cultural assets that must be preserved historically and culturally. But, the masonry structure such as Chemseongdae is vulnerable to lateral forces. Therefore, in this study, structural modeling and dynamic analysis are performed to reflect the ground state and structural form of Cheomseongdae. Also, discrete element analysis technique is applied and dynamic behavior characteristics are analyzed according to earthquake load. For this purpose, displacements and stresses according to locations are reviewed and then swelling and distortion are analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the significant duration of ground motions on responses of base-isolated nuclear power plants (NPPs). Two sets of ground motion records with short duration (SD) and long duration (LD) motions, scaled to match the target response spectrum, are used to perform time-history analyses. The reactor containment building in the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) NPP is numerically modeled using lumped-mass stick elements in SAP2000. Seismic responses of the base-isolated NPP are monitored in forms of lateral displacements, shear forces, floor response spectra of the containment building, and hysteretic energy of the lead rubber bearing (LRB). Fragility curves for different limit states, which are defined based on the shear deformation of the base isolator, are developed. The numerical results reveal that the average seismic responses of base-isolated NPP under SD and LD motion sets were shown to be mostly identical. For PGA larger than 0.4g, the mean deformation of LRB for LD motions was bigger than that for SD ones due to a higher hysteretic energy of LRB produced in LD shakings. Under LD motions, median parameters of fragility functions for three limit states were reduced by 12% to 15% compared to that due to SD motions. This clearly indicates that it is important to select ground motions with both SD and LD proportionally in the seismic evaluation of NPP structures.

본 논문에서는 이중질량을 갖는 랙시스템의 마찰거동을 고려한 지진응답해석 기법에 관하여 연구하였다. 마찰 거동을 모사할 수 있는 비선형 동적 시간이력해석 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이중질량체 간의 미끄러짐과 일체화거동은 비선형 마찰모델로서 고려하였으며, 이를 적절히 모사하기 위한 수치해석기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 이용하여 랙시스템의 지진응답에 대한 매개변수연구를 수행하였다. 랙시스템의 피해에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 주요 인자로 랙구조체 질량에 대한 적재질량체의 질량비와 두 질량체 사이의 마찰 계수를 선정하고, 질량비와 마찰계수를 변화시켜 가면서 최대 변위응답의 경향성을 분석하였다. 수치 모사 결과로 부터, 이중질량으로 모델링된 랙시스템의 변위응답은 구조물의 고유진동수가 커질수록 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구를 통하여 제시하는 방법은 랙시스템의 마찰거동을 미끄러지는 거동을 적절히 모사할 수 있으며, 이로부터 내진 성능평가를 위한 효율적 수치해석 기법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The arched stone bridge has been continuously deteriorated and damaged by the weathering and corrosion over time, and also natural disaster such as earthquake has added the damage. However, masonry stone bridge has the behavior characteristics as discontinuum structure and is very vulnerable to lateral load such as earthquake. So, it is necessary to analyze the dynamic behavior characteristics according to various design variables of arched stone bridge under seismic loads. To this end, the arched stone bridge can be classified according to arch types, and then the discrete element method is applied for the structural modelling and analysis. In addition, seismic loads according to return periods are generated and the dynamic analysis considering the discontinuity characteristics is carried out. Finally, the dynamic behavior characteristics are evaluated through the structural safety estimation for slip condition.

Pohang earthquake occurred on November 15, 2017, with a magnitude of 5.4. The damage of the structure caused by the Pohang earthquake was the most significant in 4-story piloti-type buildings, where the damage patterns were different according to the location of columns and walls at the first story. One　building with a staircase at a corner shows shear failure at columns, and Another building with a staircase in the middle shows no failure or shear failure at staircase walls. Therefore, two different piloti-type buildings were selected; one has a staircase at a corner and another has in the middle, and the seismic behavior of the buildings were examined by nonlinear dynamic analysis applying a ground motion measured at Pohang. Analytical model well simulated the actual behavior of the piloti-type buildings during the earthquake. Analysis results showed that walls have an insufficient shear strength wherever the location of the staircase is and columns with insufficient transverse reinforcement could be failed when the staircase is located at a corner. Conclusively, structural engineers should design columns and walls in piloti-type buildings to possess sufficient capacity according to the location of staircase.

In this study, the seismic performance of concrete-steel composite moment frame structures equipped with seismic retrofitting systems such as seismic reinforcement, base isolators, and bracing members, which are typical earthquake damage mitigation systems, is evaluated through nonlinear dynamic analyses. A total of five frame models were designed and each frame model was developed for numerical analyses. A total of 80 ground acceleration data were used to perform the nonlinear dynamic analysis to measure ground shear force and roof displacement, and to evaluate the behavioral performance of each frame model by measuring inter-story drift ratios. The analysis results indicate that the retrofitting device of the base isolator make a significant contribution to generating relatively larger absolute displacement than other devices due to flexibility provided to interface between ground and column base. However, the occurrence of the inter-story drift ratio, which is a relative displacement that can detect the damage of the structure, is relatively small compared with other models. On the other hand, the seismic reinforced frame model enhanced with the steel plate at the lower part of the column was found to be the least efficient.

The Korean peninsula has known as a minor-to-moderate seismic region. However, some recent studies had shown that the maximum possible earthquake magnitude in the region is approximately 6.3-6.5. Therefore, a seismic vulnerability assessment of the existing infrastructures considering ground motions in Korea is necessary. In this study, we developed seismic fragility curves for a continuous steel box girder bridge and two typical transmission towers, in which a set of seven artificial and natural ground motions recorded in South Korea is used. A finite element simulation framework, OpenSees, is utilized to perform nonlinear time history analyses of the bridge and a commercial software, SAP2000, is used to perform time history analyses of the transmission towers. The fragility curves based on Korean ground motions were then compared with the fragility curves generated using worldwide ground motions to evaluate the effect of the two ground motion groups on the seismic fragility curves of the structures. The results show that both non-isolated and base-isolated bridges are less vulnerable to the Korean ground motions than to worldwide earthquakes. Similarly to the bridge case, the transmission towers are safer during Korean motions than that under worldwide earthquakes in terms of fragility functions.
