Abstract

Extensive computer simulations to account for the randomness in the process of seismic demand estimation have been a serious obstacle to the adoption of probabilistic performance assessments for the decision of applying seismic intervention schemes. In this study, a method for rapid fragility assessments based on a response database and the fragility contour method are presented. By the comparison of response contours in different formats, it is shown that representing maximum responses in ductility demand is better for the investigation of the effect of structural parameter changes on seismic demands than representations in absolute values. The presented fragility contour enables designers to practically investigate the probabilistic performance level of every possible retrofit option in a convenient manner using visualized data sets. This example demonstrates the extreme efficiency of the proposed approach in performing fragility assessments and successful application to the seismic retrofit strategies based on limit state probabilities.

기존의 확률적 지진 취약성 분석은 그 중요성에도 불구하고 시간과 노력의 과도한 소요로 인하여 내진 성능 평가에 사용되기에 많은 제약이 따라왔다. 본 연구에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 획기적 수준의 신속성과 확장성을 갖춘 지진 취약성 분석 체계와 이를 실용화 하기위한 취약성 등고선을 개발하였다. 응답 데이터베이스를 활용하여 광범위한 구조물의 최대 응답을 즉각적으로 구하고 이를 바탕으로 구조물의 주기와 강성에 따른 한계상태확률의 변화를 한눈에 파악할 수 있는 취약성 등고선을 도출하였다. 최대응답 등고선의 도출과 비교를 통해서 최대응답의 분포는 연성도 요구치로 나타내는 것이 변위의 절대값으로 표현하는 것보다 안정적인 예측곡선을 보여 주며, 구조물의 응답특성변수인 주기와 강도비가 최대응답에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데도 유리함을 확인하였다. 연성도를 내진성능 평가의 기준으로 사용하기 위해서 내진설계기준에서 한계상태변위로서 제시되는 층간변위비와 연성도 요구치 사이의 상호 변환 관계를 정의하였다. 예제 구조물의 내진보강 전략 수립에 대한 논의를 통해서 신뢰성 이론에 기반 한 내진 보강과 설계에 취약성 등고선이 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.
