Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the fixed anchorages subjected to the seismic motion for an operating facilities in the actual power plant. Thus, the experimental study was conducted to investigate the load response in the event of an actual seismic to the anchorages of a nonstructural components. Since there are economic and spatial constraints to study nonstructural components that actually have various forms, alternative test specimens of steel frames with mass were built and the shaking table test was carried out. In order to evaluate the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance, the natural frequency of the target structure was identified through the shaking table test and then the load response characteristics of the anchorage were evaluated by generating an artificial seismic effect like actual seismic. Finally, the structural stiffness was reinforced by fixing the steel frame to the test specimen using bolts, thereby reducing the load transmitted to the anchorage. It will be carried out on the reliability verification of the experiments and areas that have not been carried out due to the site conditions through the analytical approach in the future.

본 연구는 실제 발전소 내 운영 설비의 고정부에 사용되는 앵커에 대하여 지진 발생 시 안전성을 평가하는 것이 주된 목적이다. 이에 따라 운영 설비와 같은 비 구조적 구성 요소의 고정부 앵커에 실제 지진이 발생하였을 경우 발생되는 하중에 대한 응답을 조사하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실제 다양한 형태를 갖는 비구조요소를 연구하는 데는 경제적, 공간적 제약이 있기 때문에 프레임과 질량으로 구성된 대체 시험체를 제작하여 진동대 시험을 수행하였다. 고정부 콘크리트 앵커의 동적 특성과 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 진동대 시험을 통해 대상 구조물의 고유 진동수를 파악한 후 실제 지진과 같은 인공 지진 효과를 발생시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 결론적으로 시험체에 볼트를 이용하여 강철 프레임을 고정시켜 구조적 강성을 확보하였으며, 이에 따라 고정부 앵커에 전달되는 하중이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 해석적 접근을 통하여 실험에 대한 신뢰성 검증 및 현장 여건 상 수행되지 못한 부분에 대하여 연구를 수행할 예정이다.
