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.

In equivalent static nonlinear analysis and in energy-based design, the structures are generally transformed into an equivalent SDOF system. In this study the seismic energy demands in multi story structures, such as three-, eight-, and twenty-story steel moment-resisting frames(MRF), buckling restrained braced frames(BRBF) and a damage tolerant braced frame(DTBF), are compared with those of equivalent single degree of freedom(ESDOF) systems. Sixty earthquake ground motions recorded In different soil conditions, which are soft rock, soft soil, and neat fault, were used to compute the input and hysteretic energy demands in model structures. In case the modal mass coefficient is less than 0.8, the effects of higher modes are considered in the process of converting into ESDOF According to the analysis results, the hysteretic and input energies obtained from 3 story and 8 story MRF and DTBF agreed well with the results from analysis of equivalent SDOF systems. However in the 20 story BRBF the results from ESDOF underestimated those obtained from the original structures.

Two methods of the nonlinear static pushover analysis have been presented for the performance-based seismic design and evaluation of MDOF continuous bridges. Guidelines for buildings presented in FEMA-273 applying the Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) and in ATC applying the Capacity Spectrum Method(CSM) have been modified for MDOF bridges. Two methods are compared with the time- history analysis. The lateral load distribution pattern for seismic loads has been examined in the static pushover analysis. The force-based fiber frame finite element has been implemented in the modeling of reinforced concrete piers.

교량거동의 동적 특성과 인접거덩간의 충돌의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 여러 단순보로 이루어진 교량시스템의 교축방향에 대한 거동을 분석하였다. 충돌은 물론 교각의 비선형, 그리고 기초의 병진 및 회전운동을 고려할 수 있는 단순화된 다자유도시스템을 소개하고 이에 상응하는 운동방정식을 유도하여 교량거동을 예측하는 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 다자유도시스템은 지진하중을 받는 교량시스템의 거동분석에 대한 적절한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 것을 밝혔다. 충돌의 주 영향은 강진시 인접거더간의 상대변위를 감소시키며, 미진 시에는 상대적으로 증가시킴을 밝혔다. 따라서, 강진이 아닌 지진하중을 받는 교량의 거동분석 시에도 이러한 충돌로 인한 영향에 대하여 각별한 주의가 필요하다는 것을 제안한다.

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.

지진하중에 대한 구조물의 동적 거동과 성능을 예측 평가하기 위하여 실험적 방법들이 흔히 사용되고 있으나, 실험장비의 제약과 구조물의 규모 등으로 대부분 축소모형실험에 의존하고 있다. 그러나 일반적인 상사법칙(similitude law)은 탄성범위에서 유도된 것으로 지진거동과 같은 비탄성 거동을 예측하는 경우에는 한계가 있다. 또한 탄성범위 내에서도 크기효과(size offset)가 발생하므로 축소모형의 실험결과를 원형 구조물에 직접 적용하는 것은 많은주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 원형 구조물(prototype)과 축소모형(scaled model)을 모두 실험 대상으로 하여 실제 축소모형만을 실험하여 원형 구조물의 거동을 예측하는 경우의 문제점을 확인하고 그 해결방법을 모색하고자 한다. 실제로 축소모형실험에서는 원형 구조물의 경계조건을 정확히 재현하기 어려우며, 실험모형의 제작과정과 실험과정에서의 모든오차가강성의 변화로 반영되어 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기하학적 상사율과 변화된 강성비(stiffness ratio)를 함께 고려하여 고유진동수의 오차를 보정하고 비탄성 거동중에도 직접적인 실험결과의 비교가 가능한 상사법칙을 제안하였다. 더불어 제안된 상사법칙을 적용한 유사동적실험 (pseudodynamic test)을 수행하여 실험오차보정(experimental error compensation)효과를 검증하였다.

Recent years, the response characteristics of large space structures have been studied. Then, for the large space structures with large rise-span ratio, it is clarified that the anti-symmetric mode are representatively amplified. That means the static seismic load for general ramen structure is not suitable for the space structure. In this paper, we propose static seismic loads for space structures and its concept. And for the space structures of beam string structures, execute the time history analysis and quasi static analysis and compare the results of them. From the results, we can prove the validity of static seismic load for space structure.

Fire protection (sprinkler) piping system is an essential element for the energy supply and for the protection against the seismic-induced fire during and after an earthquake. The primary objective of this study was to understand the seismic performance of complex two-story piping system installed in a low-rise building subjected to bi-directional and three-directional earthquakes. The result of current study revealed that the displacement of the piping system in accordance with floor level was significantly different due to acceleration-sensitivity but the effect of the piping system due to the vertical direction earthquake was not significant.

Energy dissipation capacity and earthquake responses of steel structures installed with unbonded braces(UB) were investigated. Parametric studies were performed for a single-degree-of-freedom structure under harmonic loads, and optimum yield strength of unbonded braces were derived. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were carried out to investigate the seismic response of multi-story model structures with UB having various size and strength. Various techniques were applied to determine proper story-wise distribution of UB in multi-story structures. The analysis results show that the maximum displacements of structures generally decrease as the stiffness of UB increases. However for some natural frequencies and seismic loads the maximum displacement and accumulated damage increases as the stiffness of UB increases.

In this study, we present how to improve the current seismic disaster information service by utilizing Shake, which can express the effects of earthquakes in the form of isolines. Using ShakeMap software provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, an automated rapid ShakeMap generation system was implemented, and based on this, an earthquake disaster information service improvement model was presented to identify earthquake risk in the form of intensity or peak ground acceleration. In order to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the improved model, the seismic disaster information service app. was developed and operated on a trial basis in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do. As a result of the operation, it was found that more detailed seismic risk information could be provided by providing information using rapid ShakeMap to induce users' safety behavior more effectively.
