본 연구에서는 마찰모델에 따라 다른 마찰진자시스템(FPS)이 적용된 교량의 성능을 비교･분석하기 위해 구조해석을 수행하였다. 마찰해석모델 별 성능을 분석하기 위해 PVDF/MgO 마찰재의 마찰계수를 활용하여 쿨롱 마찰모델과 속도 의존 마찰모델을 구축했다. 쿨롱 마찰모델은 마찰속도와 관계없이 단일 마찰계수를 사용하며, 속도 의존 마찰모델은 마찰속도에 따른 마찰계수의 변화를 반영하 는 마찰모델이다. 지진해석으로 비선형 시간 이력 해석과 지진 취약도 해석을 수행하여 구조물의 응답을 확인하였다. 마찰모델에 따 른 바닥판과 교각의 지진 응답을 활용해 면진된 교량의 성능을 분석하였으며, 면진된 교량의 성능을 효과적으로 평가할 수 있는 마찰 모델을 분석했다.

완공된 건물과 달리 시공 중인 건물은 설계단계와 다른 하중 작용 및 콘크리트 강도 미발현 등 다양한 요인에 의해 설계단계에서 검 토한 하중을 초과하는 하중이 작용하여 건물의 안전성에 문제가 생길 위험이 있다. 또한 시공 중인 건물에 지진이 발생할 경우 더 큰 피해가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 전형적인 다양한 규모의 5층, 15층, 25층, 60층 예제모델을 작성하고 골조완성도에 따 른 시공단계 모델을 통해 시공 중인 건물의 지진하중의 영향을 분석하였다. 시공 중인 건물의 시공기간은 완공단계 이후의 사용기간 에 비해 매우 짧으므로 설계단계와 동등한 수준의 지진을 적용하는 것은 과도한 하중이 적용될 수 있으므로 시공단계 모델에 재현주 기 50~2,400년의 지진을 적용하여 지진하중을 검토하고 부재단면성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 설계단계를 초과하는 하중의 여부 및 구조적 안전성 확보가 가능한 수준의 지진재현주기를 검토할 수 있었다. 또한 각 예제모델의 시공기간을 가정하여 시공기간에 따른 지진재현주기를 선정하고 선정한 재현주기의 설계 적절성을 확인하였다.

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.

The 2017 Pohang earthquake afflicted more significant economic losses than the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, even if these earthquakes had a similar moment magnitude. This phenomenon could be due to local site conditions that amplify ground motions. Local site effects could be estimated from methods using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio, standard spectral ratio, and the generalized inversion technique. Since the generalized inversion method could estimate the site effect effectively, this study modeled the site effects in the Korean peninsula using the generalized inversion technique and the Fourier amplitude spectrum of ground motions. To validate the method, the site effects estimated for seismic stations were tested using recorded ground motions, and a ground motion prediction equation was developed without considering site effects.

Structural vibration induced by earthquake hazards is one of the most significant concerns in structure performance-based design. Structural hazards evoked from seismic events must be properly identified to make buildings resilient enough to withstand extreme earthquake loadings. To investigate the effects of combined earthquake-resistant systems, shear walls and five types of dampers are incorporated in nineteen structural models by altering their arrangements. All the building models were developed as per ACI 318-14 and ASCE 7-16. Seismic fragility curves were developed from the incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) performed by using seven sets of ground motions, and eventually, by following FEMA P695 provisions, the collapse margin ratio (CMR) was computed from the collapse curves. It is evident from the results that the seismic performance of the proposed combined shear wall-damper system is significantly better than the models equipped with shear walls only. The scrutinized dual seismic resisting system is expected to be applied practically to ensure a multi-level shield for tall structures in high seismic risk zones.

The recent increase in earthquake activities has highlighted the importance of seismic performance evaluation for civil infrastructures. In particular, the container crane essential to maintaining the national logistics system with port operation requires an exact evaluation of its seismic response. Thus, this study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of container cranes considering their seismic characteristics. The seismic response of the container crane should account for the structural members’ yielding and buckling, as well as the crane wheel’s uplifting derailment in operation. The crane’s yielding and buckling limit states were defined using the stress of crane members based on the load and displacement curve obtained from nonlinear static analysis. The derailment limit state was based on the height of the rail, and nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to obtain the seismic fragility curves considering defined limit states and seismic characteristics. The yield and derailment probabilities of the crane in the near-fault ground motion were approximately 1.5 to 4.7 and 2.8 to 6.8 times higher, respectively, than those in the far-fault ground motion.

강진은 적절한 내진 설계 기술이 적용되지 않으면 건물 붕괴로 인하여 극심한 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 해결할 수 있는 면진 기술은 구조물과 지반 사이에 베어링 장치를 적용하여 지진 에너지를 흡수하고 건물에 전달되는 진동을 감쇠한 다. 본 연구는 고무 마찰 베어링 장치의 구조물 적용성을 검증하고 지진으로부터 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 고무 마찰 베어링 프레임 구조물에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과로써 최대 지붕 가속도와 총 밑면 전단력이 감소되어 내진 성능을 확인하였다. 또한, 최대 층간 변위 및 최대 잔류 층간 변위에 대한 분석 결과로 프레임 구조물을 경제적 복구 수준의 결과를 도 출하여 고무 마찰 베어링 장치의 우수한 내진 성능을 확인하였다.

전기 설비는 원자력 발전소와 같은 발전소에서 발전 시스템을 운영하고 시설물 전체의 안전을 유지하는데 중요한 역 할을 한다. 이러한 전기 설비들은 캐비닛 내부에 설치되어 외부의 위험으로부터 보호된다. 캐비닛 자체 구조와 내부의 전기 장 치들의 내진검증은 발전소의 안전한 운영을 위해 필수적이다. 부분 전기 캐비닛의 내진검증 연구들은 진동대 시험에 의존하여 진행되고 있다. 그러나 시험을 기반으로 한 내진검증의 경우 다양한 종류의 전기 캐비닛의 특성을 포함하기에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제는 상세 3D 유한요소 모델을 통한 내진 검증평가는 진동대 시험으로 인한 비용 및 시간을 절약할 수 있고 다양한 형태 및 위치의 전기설비 설치에 따른 내부의 응답 민감성을 확인해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 단문형 전기 캐비닛의 내진응 답에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 진동대 시험으로 얻은 모달해석 결과를 바탕으로 ABAQUS software를 통해 구축된 3D 상세 유한요소 모델을 검증하였다. 그리고 캐비닛 내부의 다양한 기기 설치를 모사하기 위해 캐비닛 하부 및 상부 위치에 캐비닛 총 무게의 2%, 4%, 6%의 질량을 유한요소 모델에 추가하였다. 또한 2개의 고주파 지진과 2개의 저주파 지진을 입력 지진으로 선 정하여 캐비닛 내부 기기의 질량 변화에 따른 캐비닛 내부와 외부의 가속도 응답 변화를 분석하였다.

In Korea, most nuclear power plants were designed based on the design response spectrum of Regulatory Guide 1.60 of the NRC. However, in the case of earthquakes occurring in the country, the characteristics of seismic motions in Korea and the design response spectrum differed. The seismic motion in Korea had a higher spectral acceleration in the high-frequency range compared to the design response spectrum. The seismic capacity may be reduced when evaluating the seismic performance of the equipment with high-frequency earthquakes compared with what is evaluated by the design response spectrum for the equipment with a high natural frequency. Therefore, EPRI proposed the inelastic energy absorption factor for the equipment anchorage. In this study, the seismic performance of welding anchorage was evaluated by considering domestic seismic characteristics and EPRI's inelastic energy absorption factor. In order to reflect the characteristics of domestic earthquakes, the uniform hazard response spectrum (UHRS) of Uljin was used. Moreover, the seismic performance of the equipment was evaluated with a design response spectrum of R.G.1.60 and a uniform hazard response spectrum (UHRS) as seismic inputs. As a result, it was confirmed that the seismic performance of the weld anchorage could be increased when the inelastic energy absorption factor is used. Also, a comparative analysis was performed on the seismic capacity of the anchorage of equipment by the welding and the extended bolt.

In this study, alternative seismic force-resisting systems for plant structure supporting equipment were designed, and the seismic performance thereof was compared using nonlinear dynamic analysis. One alternative seismic force-resisting system was designed per the requirement for ordinary moment-resisting and concentrically braced frames but with a reduced base shear. The other seismic force-resisting system was designed by accommodating seismic details of intermediate and unique moment-resisting frames and special concentrically braced frames. Different plastic hinge models were applied to ordinary and ductile systems based on the validation using existing test results. The control model obtained by code-based flexible design and/or reduction of base shear did not satisfy the seismic performance objectives, but the alternative structural system did by strengthened panel zones and a reduced effective buckling length. The seismic force to equipment calculated from the nonlinear dynamic analysis was significantly lower than the equivalent static force of KDS 41 17 00. The comparison of design alternatives showed that the seismic performance required for a plant structure could be secured economically by using performance-based design and alternative seismic-force resisting systems adopting minimally modified seismic details.

대표적인 비구조요소인 배관의 지진에 의한 손상은 관성력과 두 지지점 사이의 위상차에 의해 작용하는 반복하중 그 리고 허용변형량을 초과하는 상대변위 등에 의해 발생할 수 있다. 특히 주요 손상모드는 큰 반복하중에 의한 저주기피로임이 많은 실험적 연구를 통하여 알려졌다. 따라서 과도한 지진변위에 의한 배관의 손상을 방지하기 위하여 지진상대변위가 발생할 수 있는 위치에 지진분리이음 또는 지진분리장치의 적용이 요구된다. 신축관이음 중 하나인 벨로우즈는 지진분리이음으로 적용 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3ply 금속 벨로우즈 신축관이음의 온도차에 의한 내진성능의 변화를 분석하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 상온환경에서 점진증폭 반복하중재하실험을 수행하였으며, -20°C의 저온조건에서 동일한 실험을 수행하고 그 결과 를 비교하였다. 실험 결과로부터, -20°C의 저온환경에서 금속벨로우즈의 변위성능은 약 10% 저하될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Existing reinforced concrete building structures constructed before 1988 have seismically-deficient reinforcing details, which can lead to the premature failure of the columns and beam-column joints. The premature failure was resulted from the inadequate bonding performance between the reinforcing bars and surrounding concrete on the main structural elements. This paper aims to quantify the bond-slip effect on the dynamic responses of reinforced concrete frame models using finite element analyses. The bond-slip behavior was modeled using an one-dimensional slide line model in LS-DYNA. The bond-slip models were varied with the bonding conditions and failure modes, and implemented to the well-validated finite element models. The dynamic responses of the frame models with the several bonding conditions were compared to the validated models reproducing the actual behavior. It verifies that the bond-slip effects significantly affected the dynamic responses of the reinforced concrete building structures.

In SRC column, the closed hoops are applied with the same detail of both 135° standard hooks to expect the same performance as hoops of RC columns. This standard detail is actually complicated to construct, thus, two separating rebars are connected in the form of a square shape and welded over the overlapping section. But this is also complicated in construction practice. Therefore, this study describes experimental results regarding cyclic behaviors shown with alternative hoops cramped by the steel clip type-binding device instead of welding and standard specimen. As a result of the experiment, the specimens with alternative hoops of the SRC column showed comparable performance to the specimens with closed hoops. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the alternative hoops applied with the rebar confinement clips in the SRC column can replace the closed hoop.

The energy dissipation of inverted V-type eccentric steel braced frames can be achieved through the yielding of a slit link, through yielding of a number of strips between slits when the frame is subjected to inelastic cyclic deformation. On the other hand, the development of seismic resistance system without residual deformation is obtained by applying the superelasdtic shape memory alloy (SMA) material into the brace and link elements. This paper presents results from a systematic three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on the structural behavior of the eccentric bracing systems subjected to cyclic loadings. A wide scope of structural behaviors explains the horizontal stiffness, hysteretic behaviors, and failure modes of the recentering eccentric bracing system. The accurate results presented here serve as benchmark data for comparison with results obtained using modern experimental testing and alternative theoretical approaches.

Based on the random-vibration-theory methodology, dynamic responses of nuclear facilities subjected to obliquely incidental and incoherent earthquake ground motions are calculated. The spectral power density functions of the 6-degree-of-freedom motions of a rigid foundation due to the incoherent ground motions are obtained with the local wave scattering and wave passage effects taken into consideration. The spectral power density function for the pseudo-acceleration of equipment installed on a structural floor is derived. The spectral acceleration of the equipment or the in-structure response spectrum is then estimated using the peak factors of random vibration. The approach is applied to nuclear power plant structures installed on half-spaces, and the reduction of high-frequency earthquake responses due to obliquely incident incoherent earthquake ground motions is examined. The influences of local wave scattering and wave passage effects are investigated for three half-spaces with different shear-wave velocities. When the shear-wave velocity is sufficiently large like hard rock, the local wave scattering significantly affects the reduction of the earthquake responses. In the cases of rock or soft rock, the earthquake responses of structures are further affected by the incident angles of seismic waves or the wave passage effects.

The seismic responses of traffic light poles are investigated using a finite element analysis. Among the traffic light poles, single- and bi-directional traffic light poles are considered since such poles are frequently installed on vehicle roads. For a more detailed investigation, three different lengths of the mast arm are considered for each directional pole. For a time-history analysis, six actual and two artificial earthquakes are considered and applied to each direction of the poles (x and y) to investigate which direction input provides more significant responses due to the unsymmetrical structural shape. Herein, the x and y directions are respectively parallel and perpendicular based on the single mast pole case. From the analysis results, the average maximum displacement response is developed with the x-direction input case for both types of light poles. Also, the bi-directional traffic light poles show a 13% larger response than the single-directional traffic light poles. Even though the y-direction input case produces a smaller response, the response difference between the single- and bi-directional light poles considerably increases by about 60%. The average maximum acceleration responses are almost similar for both types of light poles.
