Damage of infrastructures by an earthquake causes the secondary damage through the world at large more than the damage of the structures themselves. Amomg them, underground utility tunnel structures comes under the special life line: communication, gas, electricity and etc. and it has a need to evaluate its fragility to an earthquake exactly. Therefore, the destruction ability according to peak ground acceleration of earthquakes for the underground utility tunnels is evaluated in this paper. As an input ground motion for evaluating seismic fragilities, real earthquakes and artificial seismic waves which could be generated in the Korean peninsula are used. And as a seismic analysis method, response displacement method and time history analyzing method are used. An limit state which determines whether destruction is based on the bending moment and shear deformation. A method used to deduct seismic fragility curve is method of maximum likelihood and the distribution function is assumed to the log normal distribution. It could evaluate the damage of underground utility tunnels to an earthquake and could be applied as basic data for seismic design of underground utility tunnel structures.

In this study, The failure of water supply facilities is categorized into two phases: functional failure and complete collapse. The fragility curve of water supply facilities under PGA has been developed for two loading cases: actual overseas earthquake and Korean artificial earthquake. The seismic fragility of water supply facilities has been analyzed and compared about failure phases and PGA. From the analysis results, the probability of failure of the wrapped steel pipe and ductile case iron pipe under Korean artificial earthquake has been shown as lower than that under actual overseas earthquake in the range from 0.1 to 0.4. The suggested seismic fragility curve by using Korean artificial earthquake can be exploited in a reasonable seismic design reflecting Korean local ground condition.

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.

지진파 전파로 인한 매설관에 작용하는 지진하중은 지진특성 및 지반조건에 따른 지반변형률로부터 산정되어야 한다. 그러나. 기존에 사용되고 있는 경험적인 방법에 의해 계산된 지반변형률 모형은 지진 및 지반의 지역적 특수성을 고려할 수 없는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 지진특성 및 지반조선을 반영할 수 있는 수정된 지반변형률 모형을 제안하고 개발된 모형을 매설관로의 지진해석에 지진하중으로 적용하였다. 여기서, 지반변형률을 예측하기 위한 지진판 전파속도는 지반조건을 고려할 수 있도록 파 에너지분포에 근거한 분산곡선을 제안하여 산정하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻어진 지반변형률 산정방법에 타당성을 파악하기 위해 예측한 지반변형률과 과거 지진으로 실측된 지반변형률을 비교하였다. 타당성이 입증된 지반변형률 모형을 매설관의 하중으로 적용하여 지진해석을 실시하였으며, 계산결과는 범용 유한요소해석을 통한 동해석 및 응답변위법에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. 이를 통해 지반 변형률 모형을 적용한 매설관 지진해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 지진 및 지반환경이 다른 다양한 관의 특성을 반영하기 위해, 지진 지반 및 관의 영향 인자에 대해 매개변수 해석에 실시되었으며, 이로써 본 연구의 활용성을 검토하였다.

Seismic responses of the Hualien large scale seismic test model on a layered soil site are estimated for three recorded earthquakes with different level of peak acceleration using two different approaches of soil-structure interaction analysis. The analysis results are then compared and evaluated with the recorded. The method adopted for the analysis is based on substructuring method using a lumped parameter model in both the frequency and time domain. The study results indicate that the proposed method can reasonably estimate the earthquake responses of a soil-structure interaction system of r engineering purposes if the techniques of defining input motion and modeling of the backfilled soil are prudently selected.

In this paper, the nonlinear parameter estimation method using the estimated hysteresis of each structural members was studied for the purpose of efficient seismic damage prediction and estimation of MDOF nonlinear structural model in the shaking table test. The hysteresis of each structural members can be obtained by the conversion of measured response histories into relative motions of each structural members and member forces. These hysteresis can be used to evaluate various kinds of damage indices of each structural members. The MDOF nonlinear structural model for further analysis(re-analysis) can be easily reconstructed using estimated nonlinear structural parameters of each structural members. To demonstrate the proposed techniques, several numerical and experimental example analyses are carried out. The results indicate that the proposed method can be very useful to assess local seismic damages of structures.

In this paper, a trial-error based method is presented to calibrate added mass models through numerical iterations minimizing the difference between the measured frequency data and its numerical simulation result for a dam floodgate. Earthquake analysis of the real floodgate for which the on-site hammering vibration test is performed show that the classical Westergaard added mass model gives relatively larger values in the maximum earthquake force and the maximum total displacement than the present added mass model, based on the calibration of on-site measurement data.

In this study, we demonstrated the characteristics of the near-fault ground motion thatwas not considered in the domestic seismic design code and how the effect of the near-fault ground motion affects the response of cable-stayed bridges. Afterselecting the actual measurement records of the typical near- and far-fault ground motion, the characteristics of ground motion is analyzed using the elastic and inelastic response spectrum. Analyzing the response regarding the earthquake's characteristics on cable-stayed bridges by the typical three-type cable-stayed bridges and the actual cable-stayed bridge, the characteristics of responses about main members are compared and analyzed. Moreover,reliability analysis is accomplished using the results of the seismic response analysis, and the seismic safety of the cable-stayed bridges is evaluated quantitatively as a reliability index and probability of failure. According to the results of the response spectrum, the earthquake response analysis and the reliability analysis, because the effect of the near fault ground motion against the response of cable-stayed bridges is different from the effect of the existing far-fault ground motion, it should be considered as an important factor when designing cable-stayed bridges.

PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) is the parameter which indicates the peak value for strong ground motion and is mainly due to the intensity of the seismic wave. Usually, seismic waves can consist of different characteristics and can have different effects on structures. Therefore, it may be undesirable that the effects of a seismic wave are evaluated only based on the PGA. In this study, time history analysis was executed with a single degree of freedom model for inelastic seismic analysis. The numerical model was assumed to be a perfect elasto-plastic model. Input accelerations were made with El Centro NS (1940), other earthquake records and artificial earthquakes. The displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy, which were calculated from other artificial earthquakes, were compared. As a result, different responses from other seismic waves which have the same PGA were identified. Therefore, an index which could reflect both seismic and structural characteristics is needed. The SI (Spectrum Intensity) scale which could be obtained from integration by parts of the velocity response spectrum could be an index reflecting the inelastic seismic response of structures. It can be possible to identify from correlation analysis among the SI scale, displacement ductility demand and cumulative dissipated energy that the SI scale is sufficient to be an index for the inelastic response of structures under seismic conditions.
