Friction pendulum system is developed to prevent the damage of transformer, which is the most important among the electric power facilities, due to the earthquake and its seismic capacity is verified through the shaking table test. The applicability of friction pendulum system is confirmed as test results of compressive capacity test and friction test. Especially, as a result of shaking table test with a large scale transformer model, friction pendulum system gives to the reduction of maximum response acceleration by 30% at anchorage of transformer and 59% at the top of porcelain bushing comparing with the existing anchorage type. In addition to the reduction of maximum response acceleration, natural frequency of transformer is shifted to long period due to the friction pendulum system. In case that friction pendulum system is applied to the transformer, the damage of transformer can be prevented effectively under the earthquake.

The seismic performance of a column splice fabricated with PJP (partial joint penetration) welds for special moment frames was experimentally evaluated in this study. The steel materials that were used for the specimens included SHN490 and SN490 steel, or the newly developed structural steel for seismic application. Fabricating the column splice with PJP welds is highly attractive from the perspective of reducing the welding cost and the construction time. PJP welds in column splices are viewed apprehensively, however, because several tests have shown that PJP welds in thick members tend to become brittle under tensile loads. The column splices in this testing program were designed for the expected plastic moment of the column that current seismic codes typically require. The design strength of partial-penetration welded joints was determined according to the 2005 AISC-LRFD Specification. Three-point loading was applied monotonically, using a universal testing machine, such thatthe column splice joints were subjected to pure tension. The test results showed that the PJP welded splices, if designed properly, can develop a strength exceeding that of the actual plastic moment of the column. The specimen made of the SM490 rolled section, however, showed a brittle fracture at the splice soon after achieving the actual plastic moment of the column. The tensile coupon test results also showed that the material properties of SM490 steel are more unpredictable. Overall, although the test data are limited, the SHN490 and SN490 steel specimens showed a superior and reliable performance.

교량의 건설에 있어서 내진설계가 주요문제로 부각되면서, LRB(Lead Rubber Soaring)가 한 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 특히, 설계변경 또는 내진보수.보강과 같이 제약 조건이 있는 상황에서 유용한 면진방법으로 적용된 사례를 찾아 볼 수 있다. 이와 같이 LRB의 사용이 증가함에도 불구하고, 그 특성을 엄밀히 검증할 수 있는 시험기준이 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서, 실무에서 LRB를 사용하는 경우 많은 혼란이 발생하고 있으며, 구조물의 면진성능에 대한 신뢰성도 떨어뜨리고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실무에서 발생하는 혼란과 LRB의 성능에 대한 불확실성을 줄이기 위하여 특성시험 기준을 정립하였다. 특성시험 기준은 미국 HITEC의 면진장치 특성시험 기준과 일본의 시험 기준을 토대로 국내 시방서와 시공 및 설계환경에 적합한 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 특성시험절차는 LRB의 연직강성, 수평유효강성, 감쇠비, 내구성 등 총 8개 항목에 대하여 정리하였다. 이 절차에 따라, 본 연구에서 실험이 수행 될 것이며, 시험 결과를 분석.평가한 후 세부사항을 재검토하여 실무에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake around Korean peninsula, many interests have been focused to the earthquake strengthening of existing structures. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. In the past, cross-sectional extension method, a steel plate reinforcing method and fiver-reinforced method are applied to Seismic Rehabilitation Technique mainly. However, the reinforcement methods have drawbacks that induce physical damage to structures, large space, long duration time. So, in this study, performance evaluation of previously developed FRP seismic reinforcement which do not induce physical damage and short duration time was enforced. The specimens were constructed with 80% downscale. FRP seismic reinforcement are manufactured of glass fiber or aluminum plate with holes and glass fiber. From the experiment results, seismic performance of specimens which reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement were increased.

일반적으로 내진 설계라 함은 지진에 의하여 발생된 지진동이 특정한 구조물에 작용할 때 이 지 진동의 경향하에서도 구조물의 정상적인 기능을 추진할 수 있도록 설계하는 것을 말하는 바, 원자력발전소의 내진설계에 있어서도 원칙적으로는 동일한 개념이나 실시하는 규정이 타구조물에 비하여 훨씬 엄격한 것이 다른 점이라 하겠다. 현재 우리나라의 경우 원자력 발전소는 1기(고리 #1)가 가동중이고 2기(월성 #1, 고리 #2)가 거의 완공단계에 있으며 7기(고리 #3, #4, 월성 #2, 계마 #1, #2, 부구 #1, #2)가 건설작업중인 바 이중 부구의 경우만 프랑스(\ulcorner)에서 건설 예정이고 기타는 모두 미국 및 카나다에서 건설하였거나 건설 예정이므로 따라서 그 설계에 있어서도 제 규정은 대체로 미국것을 준용하고 있는 형편이다. 그러므로 본고에서 는 미국에서 시행되고 있는 방법 또는 규정에 의거하여 내진설계용 입력지진에 대하여 설명하고자 한다. 내진설계에 입력 으로 사용되는 지진을 설계기준지진(design basis earthquake, DBE)이라고 통칭하며 이 지진은 미국 규정에 의하면 응답스펙트럼(response spectrum)으로 정의되게 되어 있으며 또한 이 응답 스펙트럼에 준하는 인공정인 지진의 시간기득(artificial time history)을 작성 또는 선정하여 이를 발전소 구조물의 내진 해석 및 내진 시험 입력으로 사용하게 되어 있다.

World widely, the occurrences of earthquakes have been increased recently. Speculating from cases of earthquakes in the world, it is reported that damages have been made underground structures like cut-and-cover tunnels, especially on the upper of tunnel with a shallow depth and the backfilled area adjacently by earthquakes. Earthquakes have a tendency to increase recently in Korea but it is deficient in seismic design criteria. In this study, Shaking table test on both soil and EPS blocks was performed to analyze the efficiency of the seismic performance of the cut-and-cover tunnels according to characteristic of backfill materials and embanking material. It turned out to be effective in improving the seismic performance according to analysis of strain and bending stress of tunnel by earthquakes.

An experimental study is needed a reinforcing method for seismic load to apply for RC structures because a lot of earthquakes have frequently happened in the world and those also collapsed infrastructures or damaged human lives. The reinforcing effect of PolyUrea (PU) appeared to be excellent under blast and impact about RC structures. In this study, Stiff Type PolyUrea (STPU) had developed by manipulating the ratio of the components of prepolymer and hardener of PU. And the durability performance evaluation of STPU for deterioration and chemical resistance has been performed. Acid environmental exposure test and ultraviolet (UV) exposure test have been performed as the durability performance evaluation for STPU. Concrete carbonation exposure test and freezing and thawing test for concrete coated with STPU have been performed. The experimental result showed that STPU has high resisting capacity and durability in all tests. Therefore, STPU would be used as seismic reinforcement materials.

The liquefaction of reclaimed land generally caused the harbor facilities to hazards. In Korea, the major harbor quay walls are gravity type and the gravity quay wall is not a good earthquake resistant structure. Recently, various earthquake resistant quay walls have been suggested, but the study on the efficiency of reinforced quay wall was not much performed. In this study, numerical analysis is carried out for performance evaluation of easily adoptable earthquake resistant quay walls. The results of numerical analysis are compared with shaking table test that is performed at the same cross-section.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake, the social interest of seismic retrofitting of RC structure is growing. Especially, the RC columns that are not reflected seismic design can not resist lateral loads by the earthquake. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. Thus, the emergency columns reinforcement method is needed. That have a fast construction time, do not cause damage to the column. In the past, cross-sectional expansion method, a steel plate reinforcing method is applied mainly, but in recent years, carbon fiber sheet taking advantage of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is widely used. In this study, retrofitting effect of seismic performance of FRP seismic reinforcement, which is possible to emergency construction, was examined. Reinforced concrete specimens were constructed to experimental study. The seismic performence of specimes retrifitted with FRP seismic reinforcement were evaluated. As a result, the seismic performance of specimen reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement has been improved.
