Because of the continual occurrence of minor and moderate earthquakes in Korean peninsula, it is generally considered that Korean is not located in a safe region against probable earthquake any more, even though being recognized as a safe country in earthquake. It is in particular noted that nowadays there has been much concern about unexpected tragedy due to probable earthquake since the disaster of 1995 kobe earthquake. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop appropriate design spectrum which could be practicably used in seismic design of important structures taking into consideration of local physical characteristics. Particularly, we have to keep in mind the lessons from 1985 Mexico earthquake which had disregarded deep research on local ground conditions, being a possible magnification phenomena of ground motions in weak soil layer. Various spectra has been described based on the analysis of historical earthquakes, and generate the artificial ground acceleration. Also, rational numbers of artificial ground acceleration is investigated by the seismic analysis for skew slab bridges.

Because strong urban earthquakes must produce huge losses of both life and property, examinations about the effect of huge earthquakes for tall buildings are very required. The goal of this report is examining model safety and compare the behavior of 2-D tall models under huge seismic loads. This report examines high-rise models designed KBC2009 codes using 1) seismic loads regulated by KBC2009 and 2) amplified seismic loads assumed to strong earthquakes. And observing for more realistic behavior of tall buildings under huge earthquakes, this report takes two analysis methods - response spectrum analysis and non-linear time history analysis considering P-delta effect.

In some current procedures, ground motions from different sources have been scaled by their peak ground accelerations and combined to obtain smoothed response spectra for specific regions. As consideration of the inelastic deformation capacity of structure, inelastic deformations are permitted under seismic ground excitation in all codes. In the ATC(Applied Technology Council) and UBC(Uniform Building Code), the inelastic design spectrum is obtained by reducing the elastic design spectrum by a factor that is independent of structural period. In this study, the average of nonlinear response spectra calculated from a sample of 20 records for each event are constructed to obtain the smoothed response spectra. These response spectra are used to examine the effects of structural strength factors such as the yield strength ratio and damping value. Through the regression analysis of nonlinear response of system for a given damping value and yield strength ratio, the required yield strength for seismic design can be estimated for a certain earthquake event. And a response modification coefficient depending on the natural period for current seismic design specifications are proposed.

2007년 1월 20일 20시 56분경 오대산 부근에서 발생한 지진이 제주도를 제외한 전국에서 감지되어 우리 생활에 직접적인 영향을 끼치는 등 더 이상 우리나라도 지진에 안전한 나라가 아니라는 것이 입증되고 있으며, 정부에서도 자연재해대책법에 통신설비에 대한 내진설계 의무화 규정을 포함시켜 현재 시행을 눈앞에 두고 있는 시점에서 통신시설물에 대한 내진성능 평가와 내진대책 수립이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 지진 발생시에 가장 민감하게 반웅하며 피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 통신 장치랙에 대하여 전력설비의 내진성능 검증에 사용되는 인공 지진파와 미국에서 측정한 실측 지진파를 진동대에 입력, 지진모사 실험을 실시하여 지진시 발생할 수 있는 통신장비의 기능 이상 유무를 확인하고 동적 거동 특성을 분석함으로써 장치랙이 보유한 내진성능을 도출하여 보았다. 이러한 지진모사 실험은 향후 통신 장치랙의 내진성능을 평가하는 기준을 수립하는데 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것이라 판단된다.

In this paper, the optimization of frictional bearings that applied to improve the seismic performance of conventional bridges were conducted. The nonlinear dynamic analysis of steel bridges and concrete bridges are carried out with the El Centro and artificial earthquake motions, and the reponses of the bridges were optimized by genetic algorithm. The object functions were considered with two parameters, such as shear forces and displacements at bearing, and the optimum object functions were searched by varying the weighting factors of the two parameters. As results, in case of the steel bridges, the optimum results were obtained when larger weight factor was imposed to the shear force. However, in case of concrete bridges, larger weight factor was need to the displacement for optimum results.

본 글에서는 지진의 기본적인 성질, 지진파의 특성, 스펙트럼 및 내진설게시 고려되어아 할 사향에 대하여 알아보았다. 점점 고층화되어가는 건축구조물에 대한 내진설계의 필요성이 더욱 커지고 있는 때에, 발생한 일본 고베 지진의 피해는 국내 의 건축구조 학자와 저눈가에 큰 영향을 주었을 것으로 생각된다. 예를 들어, 콘크 리트 건물의 설계시 기둥의 대근(hoop)의 중요성이 드러났으며, 질량이 무거운 건물 이 관성력을 더 많이 받게 되어 큰 피해가 발생한 것을 알 수 있었다. 구조물의 재료 적인 성질의 변화와 구조시스템의 변화를 이용한 내진설계에 대한 연구가 더욱 활발 히 진행될 것으로 생각되며, 또한 지진에 따른 건물의 진동을 조절하기 위한 진동 제어분야도 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

In order to evaluate the seismic performance of the modular expansion joint known for its large expansion allowance and remarkable durability, this study conducts seismic response analysis and seismic simulation test. The bridge selected for the seismic response analysis is a cable stayed bridge with main span length of 1,000m. Three artificial earthquake were generated with respect to the design response spectra of the Korean Standards (KS), AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode, and applied to the selected bridge. The seismic simulation tests reproduced the artificial earthquakes using dynamic hydraulic actuators in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The test results verified the durability and safety of the expansion joint in view of its seismic behavior since abnormal behavior or failure of the expansion joint was not observed when the artificial earthquake waves were applied in the longitudinal direction, transverse direction and both directions.

As stated in Part(I), the use of the isolator is meant to protect a structure from seismic risk, by concentrating the inelastic deformations to relatively cheap and replaceable devices while the rest of the structures remains elastic. This research has been carried out to investigate the effects of various structural parameters and isolator characteristics on the seismic response of Base Isolated Bridges. Simplified analysis method for practical design is developed by using the results. The Proposed Code-Type approach method can be used to estimate the inertial forces accurately, not only at the isolator but throughout the height of the Base-Isolated Bridges. The proposed method is recommended to use in preliminary design tool or even a final design tool for Base Isolated Bridges. For the validation of simplified design method, examples with artificial earthquake time history and design response spectrum for P.C Box Bridge with bilinear hysteretic steel damper are evaluated.

Busan is located at the mouth of Nakdong River and if an earthquake occurs, it is very likely that the damage by the earthquake will be worse as liquefaction can happen in the sand layer, builtup soil, and landfill ground due to amplification in the lower sedimentary layer that is well developed in the river mouth. Therefore, this study first examined the possibility of liquefaction in the replaced sand layer under breakwater using 14 earthquakes in 5.6-7.9 scale and artificial earthquakes including the seismic wave suggested in the standard specifications for seismic design of ports and fishing port facilities to evaluate the stability of breakwater which is the primary protective structure for port facilities against earthquakes. Second, analysis on characteristics of the seismic energy and acceleration response spectrum by size of earthquake was performed to suggest the most appropriate size of seismic wave for the condition in Korea. Third, finite element analysis was performed using the suggested seismic wave to study the characteristics of earthquake by finding the dynamic lateral displacement of breakwater and verifying the stability of structure and the displacement and forces occurring at geotextile. Results of the study showed that the possibility of liquefaction in the landfill and replaced sand layer, the dynamic lateral displacement of breakwater, and changes of geotextile are greatly affected by the subsurface ground (replaced sand layer).

본 논문에서는 몽골 지역에 발생하는 지진이 대규모 집단 거주지 및 상업 지역인 울란바타르(Ulaanbaatar) 도심지역에 큰 피해를 주고 있는바, 지진재난경보시스템 개발하여 현장에 구축함으로써 신속히 지진발생 상황을 전파하여 몽골 국민의 생명을 보호하고 재산피해를 줄이는데 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 울란바타르 외곽에 지진파를 감지할 수 있는 지진센서를 설치하고, 지진파를 수집하여 분석하고 진도의 단계에 따라 이벤트를 발생한다. 지진의 세기에 따라 단계별 상황을 판단하고 시민들이 빠른 대피를 할 수 있도록 울란바타르 도심지역에 경보방송을 전달함으로써 지진 피해를 최소화 시킬 수 있다.
