적충되어 있는 다중 블록 시스템은 역사적 건물이나 문화재등에 자주 사용되고 있다. 이러한 구조시스템은 지진에 매우 취약하고, 특히 세장한 구조물인 경우에는 낮은 수준의 지반가속도에 대해서도 전도가 일어날 수 있다. 지진으로부터 이러한 구조물을 보호할 수 있는 방법중의 하나로써 지진격기받침의 사용을 들 수 있으나, 아직 격리받침이 설치되어 있는 다중블록의 거동에 대해서는 잘 알려지지 않는 실정이다. 이 논문에서는 각각 P-F 시스템, FPS, LRB 시스템이 설치되어 있을때의 세장한 강체 블록의 동적거동에 대해 살펴보았다. P-F 시스템과 FPS에서의 마찰모델은 Coulomb의 마찰법칙을 이용하였도, 상부구조물은 붙음(stick)모드와 록킹(rocking) 모드만이 존재하도록 가정하였다. 충격은 개별요소법(distinct element method, DEM)을 이용해 기술하였고, 조화입력운동에 대한 응답을 조사하였다.

This research deals with the nonlinearities of rocking vibration associated with impact and sliding on the rocking behavior of rigid block under two dimensional sinusoidal excitation which has different frequencies in two excitation direction. The varied excitation direction influences not only the rocking response but also the sliding motion and the rocking response shape. Chaotic responses are observed in wider excitation amplitude region, when the frequencies in each excitation direction are different. The complex behavior of chaotic response, in the phase space, is related with the trajectory of base excitation and sliding motion.

The stability of the gravity quay wall against earthquakes is evaluated on the basis of the allowable displacement of the wall. To estimate the displacement caused by external forces, empirical equations based on the Newmark sliding block method or numerical analysis are widely used. In numerical analysis, it is possible to analyze precisely a complicated site and structure, but difficult to set the appropriate parameters and environments; there are limitations in obtaining reliable results, depending on one's level of expertise. The Newmark method, with only seismic motions, is widely used because it is simpler than numerical simulations when estimating permanent displacement. However, the empirical equations do not have any parameters for the response characteristics and sliding block of the structure, and sliding blocks being assumed as rigid bodies does not consider the nonlinear behavior of the soil and interaction with the structure. Therefore, in order to evaluate the seismic stability of the gravity quay wall, a newly-developed empirical equation is needed to overcome the above-mentioned limitations. In this study, numerical simulations are performed to analyze the response characteristics of the backfill of the structure, and to propose an optimal method of calculating the active area. For this purpose, finite element analyses were performed to analyze the response characteristics, and stress-strain relationships for various seismic motions. As a result, the response characteristics, sliding block, and failure surface of the backfill vary depending on the input seismic motions.

Recently, for the stabilization estimation of structures, many automatic measuring instruments with expensiveness and high accuracy have been developed and utilized. However, the existing manual measuring systems are almost impossible to measure the real-time for the whole surface of large-scale structures and an automatic measuring system has disadvantages with demanding enormous expense. In this study, 3D digital visual monitoring system was developed by using digital photogrammetry technique. To confirm application of developed system, it was applied to the measurement of the wall displacement of concrete surface and displacement measurement of reinforced-soil wall block. Then, the result of the test was compared with measuring value of total station. Based on the results of the comparison, the application of visual monitoring system was evaluated. The results show that the developed visual monitoring system could be available in displacement measure of structures.
