In probabilistic seismic analysis of nonlinear structural system, dynamic analysis is performed to obtain the distribution of the response estimate using input ground motion time histories which correspond to a given seismic hazard level. This study investigates the differences in the distribution of the responses and the failure probability according to input ground motion models. Two types of input ground motion models are considered: real earthquake records scaled to specified intensity level and artificial input ground motion fitted to design response spectrum. Simulation results fir a nonlinear SDOF system demonstrate that the spectrum matched input ground motion produces larger failure probability than those of scaled input ground motion due to biased responses. Such tendency is more remarkable in the site of soft soil conditions. Analysis results show that such difference of failure probability is due to the conservative estimation of design response spectrum in the range of long period of ground motion.

구조물 내진설계의 개념은 기존요구조건이라는 조항으로 시방서에 규정되어 있으며 구조물이 지진발생시에 안전성과 경제성을 최대한 확보할 수 있으며 비선형시간 이력해석을 수행하여 자진시의 동적거동을 기술함으로써 확인할 수 있다. 내진설계에 보편적으로 적용하는 응답스펙트럼해석법은 선형해석법으로 구조물의 비선형동적거동의 영향을 거동계수로 반영하므로 파괴메카니즘 및 기본 요구조건의 만족여부를 거동계수를 구하는 과정으로 결정할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 내진설계방식에 의해 설계된 약진지역에 의한 화학공장건물의 모델인 3차원 철골뼈대구조물을 선정하고 거동계수를 결정하는 과정을 수행하여 지진시의 동적거동을 확인하였다. 이 연구의 결과, 현 시방서의 응답스펙트럼해석법에 적용되는 거동계수는 강진지역의 구조물의 경우 기능성 및 안정성 한계를 제시하지만 약진지역 구조물의 경우는 실제 동적거동과 무관하다는것과 약진 지역에 위치한 구조물의 내진설계에는 시방서가 제시한 내진설계방식을 적용하는 것이 주요한 사항임을 확인하였다.

1980년대 이래 국내 터널의 시공법은 원지반의 강성을 활용한 NATM이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 NATM은 터널내부에 설치되는 내부라이닝의 여러 가지 문제점을 내포하고 있기 때문에 노르웨이에서는 조립식 터널 라이닝(Pre-Cast Concrete Lining, PCL)을 개발하여 현장타설 콘크리트 라이닝의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 그러나 노르웨이와 같은 북유럽지역에서는 지진이 거의 발생되지 않고 있기 때문에 PCL공법 개발당시에 지진에 대한 영향을 고려하지 못하였다. 따라서 PCL공법을 국내에 도입하기 위해서는 먼저 지진에 대한 영향을 분석하여야 할 것으로 판단되므로 본 연구에서는 PCL공법 적용시 지진에 대한 안정성 평가 및 합리적 내진해석을 위한 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. PCL의 내진성능을 판단하기 위하여 먼저 국내에서 주로 많이 사용되고 있는 해석기법인 유사정적해석법과 응답스펙트럼해석법을 이용하여 분석하였으며 지반과 구조물의 상호작용에 대한 영향을 분석하기 위해 시간이력해석을 수행하여 터널심도별 PCL의 내진성능을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 PCL의 내진해석을 수행한 결과, 부재에 발생된 응력이 허용응력 이내에서 발생되어 PCL의 내진성능을 확보된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 시간이력해석에 의한 지반-구조물 해석을 수행한 결과에 의하면 PCL의 내진성능을 확보하기 위한 터널의 최소 토피고가 터널직경에 2배 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 단순 구조물의 내진해석만으로는 PCL의 내진성능을 과소평가할 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A procedure for determination of performance point was developed based on the concept of the direct displacement-based design method. Using the proposed procedure, parametric study has been performed for various natural periods of the structure, yield strength, and the stiffness after the first yield. The proposed method was also applied to a 10-story steel frame, and the results were compared to those from the capacity spectrum method and the time history analysis. It was found from the comparison that there were good agreement between the results.

To evaluate the seismic performance of multi-degree of freedom(MDF) systems, repeated nonlinear response history analyses are often conducted, which require extensive computational efforts. To reduce the amount of computation required, equivalent single degree of freedom(SDF) systems representing complex multi-degree of freedom(MDF) systems have been developed. For the equivalent SDF systems, bilinear models and trilinear models have been most commonly used. In these models, the P-$\Delta$ effect due to gravity loads during earthquakes can be accounted for by assigning negative stiffness after elastic range. This study evaluates the adequacy of equivalent SDF systems having these hysteretic models to predict the actual response of steel moment resisting frames(SMRF). For this purpose, this study conducts cyclic pushover analysis, nonlinear time history analysis and incremental dynamic analysis(IDA) for SAC-Los Angeles 9-story buildings using nonlinear MDF models(exact) and equivalent SDF models(approximate). In addition, this study considers the strength limited model.

This study proposes seismic response analysis technique of a two-mass rack system which sustains heavy loads with frictional behavioral characteristics. In order to deal with the nonlinear frictional characteristics of the mass on the rack system, the equations of motion of the system has been derived and the appropriate numerical simulation technique has been developed. In order to examine the seismic performance of the proposed system, we consider two parameters that are expected to have great influence on the seismic performance of the system. One is the ratio of the two masses of the load and the rack structure, and the other is the friction coefficient between rack and loaded mass. A number of numerical simulations of the seismic response of structures with various natural frequencies for both parameters have been performed in order to investigate the seismic safety of the rack structures. From the simulated results. it is observed that the maximum displacement of the rack system tends to decrease drastically as the natural frequency of the structure increases regardless of the two parameters of mass ratio and friction coefficient. The proposed study provides important reference data to guarantee the seismic safety of the rack system by considering nonlinear frictional behavior of the loaded mass.

In performance-based design methods, it is clear that the evaluation of the nonlinear response is required. Analysis methods available to the design engineer today are nonlinear time history analyses, or monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated inelastic influences. The nonlinear time analysis is the most accurate method in computing the nonlinear response of structures, but it is time-consuming and necessitate more efforts. Some codes proposed the capacity spectrum method based on the nonlinear static analysis to determine earthquake-induced demand. The nonlinear direct spectrum method is proposed and studied to evaluate nonlinear response of structures, without iterative computations, given by the structural linear vibration period and yield strength from pushover analysis. The purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy and the reliability of approximate nonlinear methods with respect to shear buildings and various earthquakes. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows: 1) Linear capacity spectrum method may fail to find a convergent answer or make a divergence. Even if a convergent answer is found, it has a large error in some cases and the error varies greatly depending on earthquakes. 2) Although nonlinear capacity spectrum method need much less calculation than capacity spectrum method and find an answer in any case, it may be difficult to obtain an accurate answer and generally large error occurs. 3) The nonlinear direct spectrum method is thought to have good applicability because it produce relatively correct answer than other methods directly from pushover curves and nonlinear response spectrums without additional and iterative calculations.

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.

With the recent occurrence of large-scale earthquakes in Korea, the importance of seismic design has greatly increased. Seismic design standards stipulate that dynamic time history analysis be performed for important or special structures. In the seismic analysis and design of such structures, determining a rational design input seismic wave is a very important factor in ensuring the reliability of the analysis and design. In the seismic design standards, rational design seismic waves must reflect the characteristics of the area (fault) and satisfy the design response spectrum for each seismic performance level. This requirement can be partially satisfied by modifying the actual seismic wave measured in the area (fault) according to the design response spectrum. In this study, a method of correcting and generating seismic wave time histories according to the design response spectrum based on actual measured seismic waves using the harmonic wavelet transform was proposed. To examine the applicability of the proposed technique, the technique was applied to earthquakes of magnitude 5.8 and 5.4, respectively, that occurred in Gyeongju (2016) and Pohang (2017), and the seismic wave time histories corresponding to the design response spectrum were modified and generated.
