In the companion paper, nonlinear finite element analysis procedures are presented for the seismic damage evaluation of RC bridge piers. This paper defines a damage index based on the predicted hysteretic behavior of a RC bridge pier. Damage indices aim to provide a means of quantifying numerically the damage in RC bridge piers sustained under earthquake loading. The proposed numerical method is applied to RC bridge piers tested by other, and compared to existing damage indices. The proposed numerical method gives a realistic prediction of damage throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated.

본 논문에서는 복잡한 Hysteretic 복원력-변형률 특성을 갖는 고감쇠 면진베어링에 대한 Hysteretic bi-linear 모델을 사용하여 비교적 해의 정확성을 보장할 수 있는 Runge-Kutta 방법으로 지진해석을 위한 공식을 유도하였다. 그리고 Hysteretic bi-linear 모델을 사용한 면진베어링의 응답해석결과로부터 등가선형모델을 구하여 각각의 모델에 대한 지진응답 특성들을 비교분석하였다. 고감쇠 면진베어링을 전형적인 경수로원자로모델에 적용한 결과 면진구조물은 비면진 구조물에 비하여 가속도응답이 크게 감소함을 알 수가 있었다. 또한 면진베어링의 Hysteretic bi-linear 모델을 사용한 지진응답해석은 등가선형모델에 비하여 최대 변위응답특성은 유사하나 가속도응답은 크게 나타났다.

Domestic reinforced concrete (RC) apartments have a unique structural system that consists of shear walls and rink members of slabs and lintels. In this study, the nonlinear static analysis of two RC shear wall sub-assemblages, with and without lintels, was conducted using the uniaxial spring model to develop a method for accurately predicting the seismic behavior of domestic RC apartments. In the case of the specimen without lintels, the analytical result successfully represented a simulation of the nonlinear behavior of the specimen in accordance with the test result. On the other hand, in the case of the specimen with lintels, the analysis resulted in underestimating the nonlinear behavior of the specimen compared to the test result, because the coupling effect could not be predicted from the earlier loading cycle.

In this paper, earthquake fragility analysis has been comparatively performed with regard to a buried gas pipeline of API X65 which has been widely used in Korea. For this purpose, a nonlinear time-history analyses has been carried out for 15 different analytical models of a buried gas pipeline in terms of the selected 12 sets of earthquake ground motions with 0.1g of scaling interval. Following that, earthquake fragility analyses have been conducted using the maximum axial strain of the pipeline obtained from the nonlinear time-history analyses. Parameters under consideration for subsequent earthquake fragility analyses are soil conditions, end-restraint conditions, burial depth and the type of pipeline. Comparative analyses reveal that whereas the first three parameters influence the fragility curves, particularly soil conditions amongst the three parameters, the last parameter has a little effect on the curves. In all, the present study can be considered as a benchmark fragility analysis of a buried gas pipeline in the absence of an earthquake fragility analysis of the pipeline and thus is expected to be a useful source regarding earthquake fragility analyses of a buried gas pipelines.

Seismic design codes developed taking into account the strong earthquakes may result in unnecessary economical loss in the low seismic area, and the importance of the performance based design considering the soil-structure interaction is recognized for the reasonable seismic design. In this study. elastic and inelastic seismic response analyses of a single degree of freedom system on the soft soil layer were performed considering the nonlinearity of the soil for the 1 weak earthquakes scaled to the nominal peak accelerations of 0.07g and 0.11g. The seismic response analyses were performed in one step applying the earthquake motions to the bedrock, utilizing a pseudo 3-D dynamic analysis software of the soil-structure system. The study results indicated that seismic response spectra of a system assuming the rigid base or the linear soil layer does not represent the true behavior of a structure-soil system, and it is necessary to take into account the nonlinear soil-structure interaction effects and to perform the performance based seismic design for the various soil layers, having different characteristics, rather than to follow the routine design procedures specified in the design codes for the reasonable seismic design. The nonlinearity of the soft soil excited with the weak seismic motions also affected significantly on the elastic and inelastic seismic response spectra of a system due to the nonlinear soil amplification of the earthquake motions, and it was pronounced especially for the elastic response spectra.

Two types of piloti-type high-rise RC building structures having irregularity in the lower two stories were selected as prototypes, and nonlinear time history analysis was performed using OpenSees to verify the analysis technique and to investigate the seismic capacity of those buildings. One of the buildings studied had a symmetrical moment-resisting frame (BF), while the other had an infilled shear wall in only one of the exterior frames (ESW). A fiber model, consisting of concrete and reinforcing bar represented from the stress-strain relationship, was adapted and used to simulate the nonlinearity of members, and MVLEM (Multi Vertical Linear Element Model) was used to simulate the behavior of the wall. The analytical results simulate the behavior of piloti-type high-rise RC building structures well, including the stiffness and yield force of piloti stories, the rocking behavior of the upper structure and the variation of the axial stiffness of the column due to variation in loading condition. However, MVLEM has a limitation in simulating the abrupt increasing lateral stiffness of a wall, due to the torsional mode behavior of the building. The design force obtained from a nonlinear time history analysis was shown to be about $20{\sim}30%$ smaller than that obtained in the experiment. For this reason, further research is required to match the analytical results with real structures, in order to use nonlinear time history analysis in designing a piloti-type high-rise RC building.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic safety of Korean R/C school buildings built in the 1980s, based on "the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Capacity of Existing R/C Buildings", the nonlinear static and the nonlinear dynamic analyses. The evaluation result of the Japanese Standard showed that R/C school buildings built in the 1980s have 0.2 through 0.4 of seismic indices($I_S$). This result indicates that more than medium damage could be potentially occurred under a medium intensity level of ground motion(150g). The results of the nonlinear analyses and the post-earthquake damage evaluation method showed that Korean R/C school buildings can be suffered moderate and severe damages under a 150gal and a 200gal intensity levels of ground motions, respectively. These results reveal that R/C school buildings should be urgently required a actual earthquake preparedness measures including seismic strengthening for future earthquake.

A second-order upwind scheme is used to investigate the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea and the predicted results are compared with the field data and results of a first-order upwind scheme. In the numerical model, the governing equations solved by the finite difference scheme are the linear shallow-water equations in deep water and nonlinear shallow-water equations in shallow water. The target events are 1983 Central East Sea Tsunami and 1993 Hokkaido Nansei Oki Tsunami. The predicted results represent reasonably well the run-up heights of tsunamis in the East Sea. And, the results of simulation are used for the design of inundation map.
