Abstract

Recently, as large structures such as high-rise building and long span bridge become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive dynamic response due to seismic excitation is increased. In this study, a semi-active base isolation system using Magneto-Sensitive (MS) rubbers is proposed to effectively protect structures against earthquakes. MS Rubber is a class of smart controllable materials whose mechanical properties change instantly by the application of a magnetic field. To demonstrate the performance of this device, the MS Rubber isolation system is compared to Lead-Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolation systems and judged based on computed responses to several historical earthquakes. The MS Rubber isolation system is shown to achieve notable decreases in base drifts over comparable passive systems with no accompanying increase in base shears or in accelerations imparted to the superstructure. The proposed MS Rubber system is shown to perform better than the passive isolation system.

최근 들어 지진발생 빈도의 증가와 더불어 초고층 빌딩, 장대교량 등과 같은 대형구조물의 경량화, 유연화로 인해 발생하는 구조물의 과도한 동적거동을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 제진시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진으로부터 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 보호하기 위해 자기장에 의해 역학적 성질을 변화시킬 수 있는 제어가 가능한 지능형재료인 자기민감 고무(Magneto-Sensitive Rubber)를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 기초격리 시스템은 기존의 LRB(Lead-Rubber Bearing) 시스템과의 비교 분석을 통해 면진성능을 평가하였으며 이를 위해 몇 가지 역사적 지진들을 이용수치해석을 수행하였다. 제안된 자기민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격린 시스템은 기존의 수동 시스템보다 기초전단력이나 상부구조물에 가속도 전달을 차단함과 동시에 기초변위를 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 그러므로 자가민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템은 지진으로부터 구조물을 효과적으로 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
