In this study, a method to enhance the dynamic range of seismic sensor is proposed. The low frequency noise included in the measurement of seismic sensor is modelled as an ARMA(Auto Regressive Moving Average) model and the order and parameters of the model are identified through system identification method. The identified noise model is augmented into Kalmman filter which estimate seismic signal from sensor measurement. The proposed method is applied to a newly developed seismic sensor which is MEMS based 3-axis accelerometer type. The experiment show that the proposed method can enhance the dynamic range compared to the simple low pass filtering.

The energy-based seismic design method Is more rational in comparison with current seismic design code in that it can directly account for the effects of cumulative damage by earthquake and hysteretic behavior of the structure. However there are research results that don't reach a consensus depending on the ground motion characteristic and structural properties. For that reason in this study the influences of ground motion characteristics and structural properties on energy demands were evaluated using 100 earthquake ground motions recorded in different soil conditions, and the results obtained were compared with those of previous works. Results show that ductility ratios and sue conditions have significant influence on input energy. The results show that the ratio of hysteretic to input energy is considerably influenced by the ductility ratio, damping ratio, and strong motion duration, while the effect of site condition is insignificant.

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.

강재 교각을 갖는 고가교량은 상부구조가 매우 큰 질량을 갖는 거대구조가 되고 규모가 큰 지진운동 하에서 대단히 큰 관성력을 받게 된다. 따라서 탄소성 동적응답 해석에 의해서 강재 교각의 지진거동을 파악하는 것이 필요하다 . 본 연구에서는, 탄소성 동적응답해석을 위한 합리적인 수치해석방법을 제시하고 이를 바탕으로 강재 교각에 대한 내진성 평가를 수행한다. 1995년 고베 지진 시 손상을 받은 강재 교각과 그 이후 재구축된 교각을 모델로 해서 국부좌굴 이전 소성화의 영향만을 고려한 강재 교각의 지진 거동을 파악한다. 입력지진파는 고베 지진시 관측된 Takatori 지진파이고 이를 가속도 진폭 조정하여 사용한다.

In this study, seismic performance of geotechnical seismic isolation system capable of primary seismic isolation in the ground was evaluated. 1-G shaking table test was used to assess the performance of Teflon or steel slag as geotechnical seismic isolation systems installed beneath superstructure foundation. Response acceleration and response spectra were analyzed considering different input motions. The results were compared with those of fixed foundation structure without seismic isolation system. The steel slag-type seismic isolation system showed significant reduction in acceleration. The teflon-type seismic isolation system did not show significant effects on acceleration reduction in low-to-moderate seismicity condition, but it did show better effects in case of strong seismic condition. As input motion was transferred to the upper mass, the response spectrum of the fixed foundation structure was amplified in the short period range. In contrast, the response spectrum of the structure with seismic isolation using teflon or steel slag amplified in the long period range. It is found that the change of periodicity and the friction characteristics between isolation materials and foundations affected acceleration reduction.

In this study, a scaled model test of the shaking table and a seismic analysis considering effective stresses were performed to reveal the dynamic behavior characteristics of box structures deep located in multi-layered soils upon seismic loading. The input seismic wave was operated below the ground using five seismic waves, including long period wave (Hachinohe), short period wave (Ofunato), artificial wave and real earthquakes that occurred in Gyeong-ju and Po-hang. As a result of model test and numerical analysis, the vertical displacement of box structures upon seismic loading was greater than that of horizontal direction, and it was confirmed that an increase of excess pore water pressure below the foundation ground caused a displacement. In addition, behavior of the ground and structures during artificial seismic wave appeared to be larger than real earthquake wave.

In this paper, the effect of cumulative damage for reinforced concrete bridge piers subjected to both single and multiple earthquakes is investigated. For this purpose, selected are three set of accelerograms one of which represents the real successive input ground motions, recorded at the same station with three months time interval. The analytical predictions indicate that piers are in general subjected to a large number of inelastic cycles and increased ductility demand due to multiple earthquakes, and hence more damage in terms of stiffness degradation is expected to occur. In addition, displacement ductility demand demonstrates that inelastic seismic response of piers can significantly be affected by the applied input ground motion characteristics. Also evaluated is the effect of multiple earthquakes on the response with shear. Comparative studies between the cases with and without shear indicate that stiffness degradation and hence reduction in energy dissipation capacity of piers are pronounced due to the multiple earthquakes combined with shear. It is thus concluded that the effect of multiple earthquakes should be taken into account for the stability assessment of reinforced concrete bridge piers.

In this study, the model test of a reservoir was performed through a dynamic analysis method by using the data obtained from seismometers. Besides, we analyzed the behavior of the seismic acceleration amplification by reservoir height. To test the model, the data measured by the seismometers were applied at the foundation of the reservoir as input data, and the results from the analysis were compared with the data measured at the dam crest. The analysis results manifest that the peak values and the trend of the seismic wave obtained from the numerical analysis are in good agreement with the measured data. Also, the acceleration amplification ratio was proportional to the reservoir height and the magnitude of the earthquake. Through this study, the dynamic analysis method, which is based on the cyclic elastoplastic constitutive equation, can be considered as an appropriate technique to analyse the seismic behavior by the application of the data obtained from the seismometers installed in the reservoir. Also, the applicability of the seismometers can be enhanced through this technique in the future.

In the seismic design standard, input waves for different levels of seismic performance are proposed in the form of design response spectra. At the time of establishing these standards, measured records of significant earthquakes that occurred domestically, such as the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake and the 2017 Pohang earthquake, were not included. Additionally, for the ground response analysis, shear wave velocities representing ground amplification characteristics were derived from the results of standard penetration tests (N-values) and applied in empirical formulas. This approach may not adequately capture sufficient information about the characteristics of domestic ground properties. Therefore, in this study, seismic records from the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes were modified to adjust the bedrock standard design response spectra. Ground response analyses were conducted using shear wave velocity profiles obtained from borehole tests in the Sejong City area. The shape of the response spectrum and ground amplification coefficient obtained from the ground response analysis were then compared with those from existing studies and seismic design standard.
