High-rise buildings are equipped with TMD (Tuned Mass Damper), a vibration control device that ensure the stability and usability of the building. In this study, the seismic response control performance was evaluated by selecting the design variables of the TMD based on the installation location of the twisted irregular building. To this end, we selected analysis models of 60, 80, and 100 floors with a twist angle of 1 degree per floor, and performed time history analysis by applying historical seismic loads and resonant harmonic loads. The total mass ratio of TMDs was set to 1.0%, and the distributed installation locations of TMDs were selected through mode analysis. The analysis results showed that the top-floor displacement responses of all analysis models increased, but the maximum story drift ratio decreased. In order to secure the seismic response control performance by distributed installation of TMDs in twisted irregular buildings, it is judged that the mass ratio distribution of TMDs will act as a key variable.

Dynamic responses of nuclear power plant structure subjected to earthquake loads should be carefully investigated for safety. Because nuclear power plant structure are usually constructed by material of reinforced concrete, the aging deterioration of R.C. have no small effect on structural behavior of nuclear power plant structure. Therefore, aging deterioration of R.C. nuclear power plant structure should be considered for exact prediction of seismic responses of the structure. In this study, a machine learning model for seismic response prediction of nuclear power plant structure was developed by considering aging deterioration. The OPR-1000 was selected as an example structure for numerical simulation. The OPR-1000 was originally designated as the Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant (KSNP), and was re-designated as the OPR-1000 in 2005 for foreign sales. 500 artificial ground motions were generated based on site characteristics of Korea. Elastic modulus, damping ratio, poisson’s ratio and density were selected to consider material property variation due to aging deterioration. Six machine learning algorithms such as, Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), were used t o construct seispic response prediction model. 13 intensity measures and 4 material properties were used input parameters of the training database. Performance evaluation was performed using metrics like root mean square error, mean square error, mean absolute error, and coefficient of determination. The optimization of hyperparameters was achieved through k-fold cross-validation and grid search techniques. The analysis results show that neural networks present good prediction performance considering aging deterioration.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) building frames constructed before the seismic design was applied have seismically deficient structural details, and buildings with such structural details show brittle behavior that is destroyed early due to low shear performance. Various reinforcement systems, such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing systems, are being studied to reinforce the seismically deficient RC frames. Due to the step-by-step modeling and interpretation process, existing seismic performance assessment and reinforcement design of buildings consume an enormous amount of workforce and time. Various machine learning (ML) models were developed using input and output datasets for seismic loads and reinforcement details built through the finite element (FE) model developed in previous studies to overcome these shortcomings. To assess the performance of the seismic performance prediction models developed in this study, the mean squared error (MSE), R-square (R2), and residual of each model were compared. Overall, the applied ML was found to rapidly and effectively predict the seismic performance of buildings according to changes in load and reinforcement details without overfitting. In addition, the best-fit model for each seismic performance class was selected by analyzing the performance by class of the ML models.

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.

본 연구에서는 수소 자원의 활용도가 높아짐에 따라 수소 저장 용기의 내진 성능을 평가하기 위해 수소 저장 시설을 방문하여 현장 조사를 수행하였다. 외관 조사 중, 수조 저장 용기의 지지부에서 부식이 진행됨을 확인하였고, 이에 대한 대책안 으로 내부식성 재료인 CFRP로 대체하여 성능을 평가, 검증하였다. 이를 위해 현장 조사 결과를 바탕으로 상용 유한요소해석 프 로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하였으며, 해석 결과 CFRP로 제작된 수소 저장 용기의 지지부는 강재 대비 약 12배 이상 뛰어난 성 능을 보였다. Hashin Damage Criteria를 기반으로 CFRP 지지부의 안전성 검토를 수행한 결과 최대 손상 지수가 0.065로 확인되 었다. 기초부 콘크리트의 경우, 쪼갬 및 휨 인장 응력에 대한 안전성을 검토하였으며, 허용 강도 대비 7~36%의 안전도를 보였 다. 이를 근거로 CFRP를 수소 저장 용기의 지지부에 적용하는 것은 합리적이며, 뛰어난 경제성을 보인다. 다만, 이러한 결과는 수치 해석에 의하므로 실규모 지진동 모사 시험을 통해 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 보충할 필요가 있다.

This paper describes the seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge columns under constant and varying axial forces. For this purpose, nine identical circular reinforced concrete columns were designed seismically by KIBSE (2021) and KCI (2021). A comparison of lateral forces with theoretical strength shows that the safety factor for columns under varying axial forces is less marginal than those under constant axial forces. In addition, columns under varying axial forces exhibit significant fluctuations in the hysteretic response due to continuously varying axial forces. This is particularly prominent when many varying axial force cycles within a specific lateral loading cycle increase. Moreover, the displacement ductility of columns under varying axial forces does not meet the code-specified required ductility in the range of varying axial forces. All varying axial forces affect columns' strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility. Therefore, axial force variation needs to be considered in the lateral strength evaluation of reinforced concrete bridge columns.

최근 국내에서 연간 지진 발생 횟수가 꾸준히 증가함에 따라 공공시설물에 대한 내진 보강의 필요성이 더욱 대두되고 있다. 이 연구 에서는 사각 단면을 가진 철근콘크리트 기둥에서 강봉보강의 유무에 따른 내진 성능 개선 효과를 분석하기 위해 비선형 유한요소해 석을 수행하였으며, 검증을 위해 구조실험결과와 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 이 연구에서 수행한 유한요소해석이 실제 강봉보강공법을 적용한 철근콘크리트 기둥의 구조 거동을 합리적으로 잘 묘사하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 해석 및 실험 모두 강봉보강공법 적용으로 인해 파괴모드가 취성파괴에서 연성파괴로 전환되었으며, 강도와 연성도 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 강봉보강공법 적 용을 통해 기존 철근콘크리트 기둥의 내진 성능을 효과적으로 증진시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구의 주요 결과는 향후 설계 방 안 마련 등 관련 연구에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

For fast-built and safe precast concrete (PC) construction, the dry mechanical splicing method is a critical technique that enables a self-sustaining system (SSS) during construction with no temporary support and minimizes onsite jobs. However, due to limited experimental evidence, traditional wet splicing methods are still dominantly adopted in the domestic precast industry. For PC beam-column connections, the current design code requires achieving emulative connection performances and corresponding structural integrity to be comparable with typical reinforced concrete (RC) systems with monolithic connections. To this end, this study conducted the standard material tests on mechanical splices to check their satisfactory performance as the Type 2 mechanical splice specified in the ACI 318 code. Two PC beam-column connection specimens with dry mechanical splices and an RC control specimen as the special moment frame were subsequently fabricated and tested under lateral reversed cyclic loadings. Test results showed that the seismic performances of all the PC specimens were fully comparable to the RC specimen in terms of strength, stiffness, energy dissipation, drift capacity, and failure mode, and their hysteresis responses showed a mitigated pinching effect compared to the control RC specimen. The seismic performances of the PC and RC specimens were evaluated quantitatively based on the ACI 374 report, and it appeared that all the test specimens fully satisfied the seismic performance criteria as a code-compliant special moment frame system.

현장에 적용하는 콘크리트 강도가 증가함에 따라 초고성능 콘크리트의 적용 분야가 넓어지고 있다. 초고성능 콘크리 트에는 강섬유를 일반적으로 사용하고 있지만, 이를 대체하기 위해 다양한 섬유를 연구에 적용하고 있다. 대표적으로 슈퍼섬유 라고 알려진 아라미드 섬유가 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고성능 콘크리트의 특성이 구조물 보수보강 및 내진보강에 적용하기에 적 합하다고 판단하여, 슈퍼섬유 중 하나인 파라아리미드 섬유와 조합한 복합섬유를 혼입한 초고성능 콘크리트를 보-기둥 접합부에 내진보강재로 활용하여 특성을 분석하였다. 초고성능 콘크리트의 내진보강 효과를 확인하였으며 내진상세를 적용한 실험체와 유사한 거동을 확인하였다. 초고성능 콘크리트의 높은 강도로 인해 기존 콘크리트가 파괴되는 양상이 나타나 초고성능 콘크리 트의 보수보강 효과를 모두 발휘하지 못하고 있어 추가 연구를 통해 최적의 보강단면을 설정한다면 내진보강재료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An elastic bearing must be strong against vertical loads and flexible against horizontal loads. However, due to the material characteristics of rubber, it may show variability due to the manufacturing process and environmental factors. If the value applied in the bridge design stage and the actual measured value have different values or if the performance during operation changes, the performance required in the design stage may not be achieved. In this paper, the seismic response of bridges was compared and analyzed by assuming a case where quality deviation occurs during construction compared to the design value for elastic bearings, which have not only always served as traditional bearings but also have had many applications in recent seismic reinforcement. The bearing's vertical stiffness and shear stiffness deviation were considered separately for the quality deviation. In order to investigate the seismic response, a time history analysis was performed using artificial seismic waves. The results confirmed that the change in the bearing's shear stiffness affects the natural period and response of the structure.

강진에 대한 다양한 비선형 거동을 하는 부재요소들로 이루어진 교량시스템의 현재까지의 일반적인 지진취약도 평가방법은 부재- 수준에서 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적 부재-수준의 지진취약도 평가결과로부터 구조시스템을 대표하는 시스템-수준의 지진취 약도 평가방법을 개발하는 것이다. 교량의 지진 거동을 일반적으로 교축방향과 교축직각방향으로 구분하기 때문에 본 연구에서도 시 스템-수준 지진취약도를 두 방향에 대하여 구분해 평가하였다. 길이 방향에 대한 부재-수준의 지진취약도평가는 교각, 교량받침, 충 돌, 교대, 낙교에 대하여 수행하였다. 교축직각 방향에 대해서는 충돌, 교대, 낙교의 손상이 영향을 주지 않으므로 부재-수준의 지진취 약도평가는 교각과 교량받침에 대하여만 수행하였다. 다양한 구조부재의 비선형모델을 이용한 지진해석은 OpenSEES 프로그램을 사용하여 수행하였다. 시스템-수준의 지진취약도는 부재-수준 사이의 손상이 직렬연결이라고 가정하고 평가하였다. 교각의 손상이 다른 부재-수준의 손상보다 시스템-수준의 지진취약도에 지배적인 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 다시 말하면 가장 취약한 부재-수 준의 지진취약도가 시스템-수준의 지진취약도에 가장 지배적인 영향을 주는 것을 의미한다.

2017년 지진에서 다수의 필로티형 건물에 손상이 발생함에 따라 필로티형 건물의 내진성능 평가의 중요성이 대두되 었다. BST면의 활용과 검증은 여러 연구자들에 의해 이미 수행되었다. BST면을 활용하여 필로티형 건물의 횡저항성능을 파악 할 수 있다면, 필로티형 건물의 초기 계획 또는 내진보강 계획 시 횡력저항 시스템을 배치하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 이에 본 연 구에서는 필로티형 건물에 BST면의 적용가능성을 파악한 후, 실제 지진피해를 입은 필로티형 건물의 보강 전과 후의 BST면을 비교하여 횡저항성능을 파악하였다. 그 결과 손상된 필로티형 건물을 보강함에 있어 보강된 평면의 BST면과 밑면 전단력에 대 한 비틀림 모멘트의 비를 기울기로 하는 거동 분석을 통해 필로티형 건물의 횡저항성능을 파악함으로써 보다 효과적인 보강방 안을 제시할 수 있었다.

This study presents a dry precast concrete (PC) beam-column connection, and its target seismic performance level is set to be emulative to the reinforced concrete (RC) intermediate moment resisting frame system specified in ACI 318 and ASCE 7. The key features include self-sustaining ability during construction with the dry mechanical splicing method, enabling emulative connection performances and better constructability. Test specimens with code-compliant seismic details were fabricated and tested under reversed cyclic loading, which included a PC beam-column connection specimen with dry connections and an RC control specimen. The test results showed that all the specimens failed in a similar failure mode due to plastic deformations in beam members, while the hysteretic response curve of the PC specimen showed comparable and emulative performances compared to the RC specimen. Seismic performance evaluation was quantitatively addressed, and on this basis, it confirmed that the presented system can fully satisfy all the required performance for the intermediate RC moment resisting frame.

In this paper, seismic performance evaluation was carried out for eight circular reinforced concrete columns designed seismically by KRTA[1]and KCI[8]. Primary design parameters for such columns included many longitudinal reinforcements, yield strength of reinforcements, the vertical spacing of spirals, aspect ratio, and axial force ratio. The test results showed that all the columns exhibited stable hysteretic and inelastic responses. Based on the test results, drift ratios corresponding to each damage state, such as initial yielding, initial cover spalling, initial core concrete crushing, buckling, and fracture of longitudinal reinforcement and final spalled region, were evaluated. Then, those ratios were compared with widely accepted damage limit states. The comparison revealed that the existing damage states were considerably conservative. This implies that additional research is required for the damage limit states of such columns designed seismically by current Korean design codes.

Tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce dynamic responses of structures subjected to earthquake loads. A smart tuned mass damper (STMD) was proposed to increase control performance of a traditional passive TMD. A lot of research was conducted to investigate the control performance of a STMD based on analytical method. Experimental study of evaluation of control performance of a STMD was not widely conducted to date. Therefore, seismic response reduction capacity of a STMD was experimentally investigated in this study. For this purpose, a STMD was manufactured using an MR (magnetorheological) damper. A simple structure presenting dynamic characteristics of spacial roof structure was made as a test structure. A STMD was made to control vertical responses of the test structure. Two artificial ground motions and a resonance harmonic load were selected as experimental seismic excitations. Shaking table test was conducted to evaluate control performance of a STMD. Control algorithms are one of main factors affect control performance of a STMD. In this study, a groundhook algorithm that is a traditional semi-active control algorithm was selected. And fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was used to control a STMD. The FLC was optimized by multi-objective genetic algorithm. The experimental results presented that the TMD can effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures subjected to various excitations. It was also experimentally shown that the STMD can more effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures conpared to the passive TMD.

New buildings have been designed using different seismic design standards that have been revised. However, the seismic performance of existing buildings is evaluated through the same performance evaluation guidelines. Existing buildings may not satisfy the performance targets suggested in the current guidelines, but there are practical limitations to discriminating the existing buildings with poor seismic performance through a full investigation. In this regard, to classify buildings with poor seismic performance according to the applied standard, this study aimed to evaluate performance-based investigation of the seismic design proposals of buildings with different design standards. The target buildings were set as RC ordinary moment frames for office occupancy. Changes in seismic design criteria by period were analyzed, and the design spectrum changes of reinforced concrete ordinary moment resisting frames were compared to analyze the seismic load acting on the building during design. The seismic design plan was derived through structural analysis of the target model, compared the member force and cross-sectional performance, and a preliminary evaluation of the seismic performance was performed to analyze the performance level through DCR. As a result of the seismic performance analysis through the derived design, the reinforced concrete ordinary moment frame design based on AIK 2000 has an insufficient seismic performance level, so buildings built before 2005 are likely to need seismic reinforcement.

교량은 사용년한이 증가함에 따라 노후화로 인해 역학적인 성질과 구조적인 성능이 저하되고, 이로 인해서 강진 시에 내진성능이 저하된다. 교각과 교량받침에 대한 노후화를 몇 가지 단계로 정량화하여 해석모델에 반영하였고, 노후화된 교각과 교량받침에 대하 여 부재-수준의 지진취약도를 평가하였다. 교량 시스템의 파괴 메카니즘을 직렬시스템으로 가정하여, 부재-수준의 지진취약도 해석 결과로부터 시스템-수준의 지진취약도를 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 노후도에 취약한 부재인 교각과 교량받침에 대하여 5가지 정 량적인 노후도(0, 5, 10, 25, 40%)를 가정하여 부재-수준의 지진취약도를 평가하였고, 이 결과로부터 시스템-수준의 지진취약도 평가 를 수행하였다. 시스템-수준의 지진취약도는 교량받침 보다는 교각이 지배적인 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 이는 보다 취약한 구조부재 의 지진취약도가 전체 교량시스템의 지진취약도에 지배적인 영향을 주는 것을 의미한다.

Seismic demand on nonstructural components (NSCs) is highly dependent on the coupled behavior of a combined supporting structure- NSC system. Because of the inherent complexities of the problem, many of the affecting factors are inevitably neglected or simplified based on engineering judgments in current seismic design codes. However, a systematic analysis of the key affecting factors should establish reasonable seismic design provisions for NSCs. In this study, an idealized 2-DOF model simulating the coupled structure-NSC system was constructed to analyze the parameters that affect the response of NSCs comprehensively. The analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of structure-NSC mass ratio, structure, and NSC nonlinearities on the peak component acceleration. Also, the appropriateness of component ductility factor (R p) given by current codes was discussed based on the required ductility capacity of NSCs. It was observed that the responses of NSCs on the coupled system were significantly affected by the mass ratio, resulting in lower accelerations than the floor spectrum-based response, which neglected the interaction effects. Also, the component amplification factor (a p) in current provisions tended to underestimate the dynamic amplification of NSCs with a mass ratio of less than 15%. The nonlinearity of NSCs decreased the component responses. In some cases, the code-specified R p caused nonlinear deformation far beyond the ductility capacity of NSCs, and a practically unacceptable level of ductility was required for short-period NSCs to achieve the assigned amount of response reduction.

최근 비구조요소의 피해사례가 증가하면서 비구조요소 내진설계에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구는 평면 적 요소보다는 수직적 요소나 시스템적 요소를 변수로 층가속도를 평가하고 있다. 때문에 본 논문에서는 횡력저항에 많은 부분을 차 지하는 코어를 평면적 변수로 사용하여 비구조요소 내진설계를 위한 층가속도에 대해 평가하였다. 정사각형의 2축대칭의 평면에서 코어의 형태(위치 및 비중)변화에 따라 서로 다른 5개의 평면과 각 평면마다 5층, 10층, 15층, 20층의 층수를 가진 총 20개의 모델로 선 형시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 코어 위치에 따라 편심을 받는 평면에서는 층가속도가 최대 1.7배의 비틀림 증폭이 발생하 였고 구조물의 중층부에서 비틀림의 영향이 가장 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 편심이 없이 코어의 비중만 변화한 평면에서는 주기 0.4694초를 기준으로 이하일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 감소하고 고층부에는 증가하며, 반대로 주기 0.4694 초 이상일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 증가하고 고층부에는 감소한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 구조물 의 층수는 최대층가속도에 영향을 주지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 핵심용어 :
