In this study, nonlinear earthquake responses of a soil-structure interaction(SSI) system which is subjected to a three-directional ground motion are examined. The structure and the near-field region of soil, where the geometry is irregular, the material properties are heterogeneous, and nonlinear dynamic responses are expected, are modeled by nonlinear finite elements. On the other hand, the infinite far-field region of soil, which has a regular geometry and homogeneous material properties and dynamic responses is assumed linearly elastic, is represented by three-dimensional perfectly matched discrete layers which can radiate elastic waves into infinity efficiently. Nonlinear earthquake responses of the system subjected to a three-directional ground motion are calculated with the numerical model. It is observed that the dynamic responses of a SSI system to a three-directional motion have a predominant direction according to the characteristics of the ground motion. The responses must be evaluated using precise analysis methods which can consider nonlinear behaviors of the system accurately. The the method employed in this study can be applied easily to boundary nonlinear problems as well as material nonlinear problems.

본 논문에서는 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 입력하중과 강성에 관련된 물성값들을 구조물에서 계측된 지진응답만을 사용하여 효과적으로 추정할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였는데, 제안된 방법은 비지계수 추정을 위한 목적함수가 입력하중에 독립적이기 때문에 구조물에서 계측된 지진응답만으로 미지계수의 추정이 가능하도록 되어있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법의 검증은 국제공동 연구의 일환으로 최근 대만의 화련에 건설된 대형지진시험 구조물에서 계측된 지진 응답을 사용하여 수행하였다. 추정된 입력하중과 지반과 구조물의 강성에 관련된 물성값들을 사용하여 계산된 지진응답의 계측치와 매우 잘 일치하여, 추정결과의 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다.

This paper investigates the response of frame structures with the consideration of tunnel construction (ground loss) conditions. The response of four-story open frame structure and block-infilled frame structures, which are subjected to tunnelling-induced ground movements, has been investigated in different construction (ground loss) conditions using numerical analysis. The open frame structure has been modelled as an elastic structure, while the block-infilled frame structure has been modelled to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The response of the two different frame structures has been investigated in terms of construction (ground loss) conditions considering the magnitude of deformations and cracks in structures. In addition, the damage levels, which are possibly induced in the structures, has been provided in terms of construction (ground loss) conditions using the state of strain damage estimation criterion (Son and Cording, 2005). The results of this study will provide a background for better understandings for controlling and minimizing building damage on nearby frame structures due to tunnelling-induced ground movements.

This paper proposes a shaking table test considering the dynamic soil strcuture interaction (SSI) by using the accelerations measured from superstructure and shaking table. The proposed method based on the substructure method is that only superstructure is used as an experimental model and dynamic soil stiffness is reflected on the controller of shaking table for soil model. At the moment, an experimental superstructure is excited by a shaking table with the motion required to emulate the dynamic behavior of total SSI system. First, the validity of the proposed method is verified by the verification model of numerical simulation, which is derived from the equation of motion of SSI system under consideration. Also, the applicability of the proposed method to shaking table test is numerically verified from the simulation model incorporating the transfer function of shaking table.
