Abstract

Due to the random nature of earthquake, the definition of the input excitation is one of the major uncertainties in the seismic response analysis. Furthermore, ground motions that correspond to a limited number of design parameters are not unique. Consequently, a brood range of response values can be obtained even with a set of motions, which match the same target parameters. The paper presents a practical probabilistic approach that can be used to systematically model the stochastic nature of seismic loading. The new approach is based on energy-based RMS hazard and takes account for the uncertainties of key ground motion parameters. The simulations indicate that the new RMS procedure is particularly useful for the rigorous probabilistic seismic response analysis, since the procedure is suitable for generation of large number of hazard-compatible motions, unlike the conventional procedure that aim to generate a small number of motions.

지진응답 해석 시 불확실한 지진현상을 추정하여 설계지진파를 선정하는 것은 어려운 일 중의 하나이다. 게다가 제한된 숫자의 설계인자에 상응하는 지진파가 결코 유일하지 않다는 문제도 있다. 따라서 동일한 설계진도에 상응하는 여러 지진파들로부터 구한 응답치들이 서로 크게 차이가 날 수 있다. 본 논문은 이 같은 지진하중의 불확실성을 체계적으로 고려하는 실용적인 지진파 생성 기법을 제시한다. 이 기법은 에너지 개념의 RMS 지진가속도에 기반하며 주요 지진파 설계인자의 불확실성을 고려한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, 이 새로운 RMS 기법이 지진재해에 상응하는 지진파를 대량 생성하는 경우에 적합하며 따라서 소량의 지진파 생성에 적합한 기존의 방법들과 비교할 때 특히 확률론적 지진응답 해석 시 유용하다는 점을 확인하였다.
