지반 위에 세워진 구조물의 지진응답해석시 지반-구조물 상호작용 영향은 지반으 선형특성을 고려하여 간주되었는데 최근 연구결과에 의하면 구조물 지진해석에서 연약지반의 비선형 특성이 중요한 요소로서 인식되었다. 하지만 지반-구조물계의 복잡한 비선형 특성 때문에 내진설계 기준에서 비선형 지반특성을 고려하기에는 아직도 어려움이 많다. 이 논문에서는 UBC 지반종류 $S_{D}$ 지반 위에 놓인 중규모의 얕은 온통기초와 묻힌 온통기초위에 세워진 건물에 대한 단자유도계 선형 지진해석을 연약지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대가속도가 0.17g 과 0.36g 인 Taft E-W 및 El Centro N-S 지진기록을 사용하여 수행하였다. 비선형 지진해석을 결과를 선형해석 결과와 비교하였을 때, 비선형 응답스펙트럼의 최대가속도가 지반의 비선형성 때문에 상당히 줄어드는 것으로 나타나 지반의 비선형성을 고려한 더효율적인 내진설계의 가능성을 보여준다.

본 글에서는 ANS(American Nuclear Society)에서 규정하고 있는 Safety Class 구조물 중 격납건물의 내진해석모델에 대해 주로 언급하며, 기타 건물(Non-Nuclear Safety "NNS")은 일반건물과 차이점이 없음으로 언급하지 않는다. U.S. NRC(Nuclear Regulatory Commision)는 참고문헌[1]에 의해 원자력 발전소내 여러건물중 SSE(Safe Shutdown Earthquake)하중에도 견디도록 규정하여 정확한 동력학적 계산이 요구되어지나, 그 이외의 건물들은 대개 등가정적 방법에 의해 해석되어진다. 이 해석방법은 여러 빌딩규정들에서 제안된 것으로 지진에 의한 동적하중을 밑면적 단력 또는 각층에 작용하는 층전단력이라는 등가의 정적하중으로 바꿔 계산되며 이 때 사용되는 해석모델은 건물의 기본진동만을 표시할 수 있는 간단한 것이다.

The seismic design regulations have not been applied to the low-rised buildings which are less than 6 stories in Korea. For these buildings which are designed only for gravity loads, theoretical formulas which can estimate the seismic strength of building are derived. The column hinge sway and beam hinge sway mechanism are assumed for the formulars. For the comparisons with the formulas, the results of push-over analyses of 3 and 4 storied buildings are used. It can be shown that the estimating formulas correspond well with the push-over analyses. And the seismic strength of building has a little relations with the number of bay and becomes larger as the building becomes lower. Also, as the ratio and strength of reinforcing steel increase, the seismic strength of building is increased.

In order to understand the seismic performance of a bridge, it is common to review through seismic performance evaluation and numerical analysis of the target bridge. Seismic performance evaluation and review through numerical analysis are analysis methods for specific target bridges, and many problems can arise in each management body managing bridges nationwide. Therefore, in this study, research was conducted to estimate the seismic performance of public bridges with various types and characteristics. Seismic performance was estimated by applying the seismic risk assessment method, calculating the seismic fragility curve for the type and specifications of the bridge, and estimating the seismic performance of the bridge in use by applying the domestic seismic design standard. In addition, by installing it on the platform, service items were established so that users can easily review the estimation of seismic performance of domestic bridges.

Recently, with frequent earthquakes around the world, research on seismic design and seismic reinforcement of reinforced concrete facilities has been actively conducted from earthquakes. In particular, columns, which are compressed members of reinforced concrete structures, are vulnerable to lateral forces caused by earthquakes, so an appropriate seismic reinforcement method is required. Therefore, this study intended to develop Velcro seismic reinforcement method that is quick and easy to construct. For the development of Velcro seismic reinforcement, the adhesion and tensile strength of the existing industrial velcro was improved. A direct tensile test was also conducted to compare the tensile performance of the newly-developed velcro seismic reinforcement to industrial one. In addition, numerical analysis was performed to predict the seismic performance of RC columns reinforced by industrial and newly-developed velcro. Based on the analysis results, the strength and ductility of the non-seismic and velcro-reinforced RC column were reviewed. The analysis confirmed that both the strength and ductility of non-seismic RC columns reinforced by industrial and newly-developed velcro increased, but the seismic performance of the newly-developed Velcro reinforcement is better than that of industrial velcro.

Due to the recent earthquake that has occurred worldwide, interest in seismic reinforcement of structures is increasing. In order to improve the seismic performance of the structure, the seismic reinforcement of the column should be made. Various seismic retrofit methods are being developed to improve the seismic performance of columns. In this study, in order to improve the seismic performance of RC columns, an numerical study was conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of the columns by applying a surface constrained pressure. For the numerical study, the experimental study on the column was used, and the failure shape and behavior characteristics of the experimental results and the numerical results were compared. As a result of the numerical study, the ductile behavior of the RC columns occurred according to the strength of the surface constraining stress. In addition, ductile behavior occurred almost constant above a certain surface constrained pressure. Compared with the numerical results and the experimental results, he reinforcing effect of the used seismic reinforcement of the column in experimental study was compared with the value of the surface constrained pressure for the RC column, and the seismic reinforcing effect was examined as the surface constrained pressure value for the RC column. In conclusion, in this work, surface constrained stress and constrained strength for ductile behavior of RC columns are derived. Based on the results derived, it is believed that it can be used as basic data on the review of seismic design methods and seismic performance complementary effects using ductile behavior induction of RC columns.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seismic behavior of hollow circular reinforced concrete bridge columns with confinement steel, and to develop improved seismic design criteria. Three hollow circular columns were tested under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced by using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. The numerical method used gives a realistic prediction of the seismic performance throughout the loading cycles for the several test specimens investigated. Based on the experimental and analytical results, design recommendations are presented to improve current practice in the design and construction of hollow circular reinforced concrete bridge columns.

The seismic performance of a structure designed without consideration of seismic loading can be effectively enhanced through seismic rehabilitation. The appropriate level of rehabilitation should be determined based on the decision criteria that minimize the anticipated earthquake-related losses. To estimate the anticipated losses, seismic risk analysis should be performed considering the probabilistic characteristics of the hazard and the structural damage. This study presents the decision procedure in which the probabilistic seismic demand model is utilized for the effective estimation and minimization of the total seismic losses through seismic rehabilitation. The probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of the structural damage for a specified time period are established in a closed form, and are combined with the loss functions to derive the expected seismic loss. The procedure presented in this study could be effectively used for making decisions on the seismic rehabilitation of structural systems.

In this paper, the seismic analysis model for seismically isolated KALIMER reactor structures is developed and the modal analysis and the seismic time history analysis are carried out for seismic isolation and non-isolation cases. To check the seismic stress limit according to the ASME Code, the equivalent seismic stress analyses are preformed using the 3-D finite element model. From the seismic stress analysis, the seismic margins are calculated for structural members. The limit of seismic load is defined to show that the maximum input acceleration ensures the structural safety for seismic load. In comparison of seismic responses between seismic isolation and non-isolation cases, the seismic isolation design gives significantly reduced acceleration responses and relative displacements between structures. The seismic margin of KALIMER reactor structure is high enough to produce the limit seismic load 0.8g.
