구조물-지반 상호작용에서 알려진 것처럼 구조물 지진응답은 구조물하부 지반조거에 따라 영향을 받는데 UBC-97을 포함한 여러내진설계규준에서 지반사태 영향을 반영하고 있다 이 연구에서는 기초크기 기초밑 지반깊이, 입력지진 작용점 및 기초 근입깊이 등의 영향을 살펴보고 깊은 지반 위에 세워진 구조물의 평균응답스펙트럼을 UBC-97 탄성응답스펙트럼과 비교하기 위해 구조물-지반 상호작용을 고려한 지진해석을 가상 3차원 유한요소법과 부구조물법을 이용하여 1952년 Taft와 1940년 El Centro 지진기록을 주파수영역에서 수행하였다 연구결과에 의하면 기초크기는 구조물 응답에 별 영향이 없고 기초저면 지반깊이는 구조물체계의 고유주기와 최대가속도를 변경시켰다 또 입력지진의 합리적 작용점은 기초저면이라는 것이 확인되었으며 깊은 지반위에 놓인 기초의 근입은 저주기영역에서 구조물 응답을 상당히 줄어들게 하였다 한편 30m 깊은 지반위에 세워진 구조물의 평균가속도와 UBC-97 가속도를 비교한 결과 UBC-97 탄성응답스펙트럼에 의한 구조물 내진설계가 안전하지 못할 수도 있으므로 UBC-97 지진계수의 할증이 필요하다.

The aim of this paper is to study the interaction between adjacent buildings with different foundation levels under earthquake loading conditions. Buildings and soil are represented by two different models. In the first case, the building itself is modeled with standard frame element, whereas the soil behavior is stimulated by a special grid model. In the second case, the building and soil are represented by plane stress or plane strain elements. The modulus of elasticity of the 9round as well as the varying relations of inertia have a strong influence on the section forces within the buildings. The Interaction between the two buildings is demonstrated and discussed via numerical examples using the proposed method.

In the companion paper (II, Development of Site Classification System), new size classification system based on site periods $(T_G)$ was recommended for legions of shallow bedrock depth in Korea. Despite the site classification method was improved, the response spectrum would be required to be modified by adjusting the integration interval to calculate the site coefficients because the response spectra did not match well the average spectral accelerations obtained by site response analyses in the range of long periods. In this paper, new response spectra for each site categories were determined by adjusting the integration interval of long period site coefficient $F_v\;from\;0.4{\sim}2.0\;to\;0.4{\sim}1.5$ second. It matched well the average spectral accelerations and new response spectrum, and it was also improved compared to the current she classification system.

Site coefficients in IBC and KBC codes have some limits to predict the rational seismic responses of a structure, because they take into account only the effect of the soil amplification without the effects of the structure-soil interaction. In this study, upper and lower limits of the site coefficients are estimated through the pseudo 3-D elastic seismic response analyses of structures built on the linear or nonlinear soil layers taking Into account the effects of the structure-soil interaction. Soil characteristics of site classes of A, B and C were assumed to be linear, and those of site classes of D and E were done to be nonlinear and the Ramberg-Osgood model was used to evaluate shear modulus and damping ratio of a soil layer depending on the shear wave velocity of the soil layer, Seismic analyses were performed with 12 weak or moderate earthquake records scaled the peak acceleration to 0.1g or 0.2g and deconvoluted as earthquake records at the bedrock located at 30m deep under the outcrop. With the study results of the elastic seismic response analyses of structures, new standard response spectrum and upper and lower limits of the site coefficients of $F_{a}\;and\;F_{v}$ at the short period range and the period of 1 second are suggested including the effects of the structure-soil interaction, and new site coefficients for the KBC code are also suggested.

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that the tunnels, which were once considered to be highly resistant to earthquakes, are susceptible to substantial damage under severe seismic loading. Among various modes of deformation under an earthquake loading, the response of the tunnel in the transverse direction is known to be the critical mode. This paper investigates the seismic response of the tunnel in the transverse direction using the method of seismic displacement, which is a type of pseudo-static analysis. Firstly, the methods of calculating the ground deformation are compared. It is shown that the single and double cosine may not provide an accurate estimation of the ground deformation, and that a one-dimensional site response analysis needs to be performed for a more reliable evaluation. Secondly, the tunnel responses are calculated using the simplified, analytical, and numerical solutions. It is demonstrated that the simplified method provides poor estimates of the tunnel response ground deformation. The analytical solution is shown to be effective in modeling circular tunnels in uniform ground, but has serious limitation in modeling tunnel response in non-uniform ground. Numerical analyses are shown to be applicable to all cases, and give the most accurate estimates of the tunnel response. It is also demonstrated that the linear solutions can be so conservative that the soil nonlinearity needs to be accounted for more accurate evaluation of the tunnel response.

In this study, a numerical analysis method for soil-pile interaction in frequency domain problem is presented. The total soil-pile interaction system is divided into two parts so called near field and far field. In the near field, beam elements are used lot a pile and plain strain finite elements for soil. In the far field, dynamic fundamental solution for multi-layered half planes based on boundary element formulation is adopted lot soil. These two fields are coupled using FE-BE coupling technique. In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis, the dynamic responses of pile on multi-layered half planes are simulated and the results are compared with the experimental results. Also, various numerical analyses of piles considering different conditions of soil-pile interaction system are performed to examine the dynamic behavior of the system. It has been found that the developed method which satisfies the radiation conditions of multi-layered half planes can be applied to various structure systems effectively in frequency domain.

In this study, seismic responses of the offshore wind tower supported by bucket foundation are analyzed in consideration of soil-structure interaction. The program SASSI is used as analyzing tool and an artificial seismic input for soft soil is used as input motion. The H/R ratio of bucket, the stiffness of bucket foundation and the soil stiffness are considered as parameters and its effects are estimated. The responses of structure are obtained at the base and the nacell. As results, the effects of H/R ratio, the stiffness of bucket and the stiffness of site are generally denoted different response tendency at the base and the nacell. However, these whole responses of the base and the nacell are much lager than that of rock site. Therefore, the consideration of this phemomia affect to the response of offshore wind tower with bucket foundation largely.

지반특성에 따라 지진발생시 면진구조물과 비면진 구조물의 응답특성이 어떠한가를 평가하기위해, 1940 El Centro 지진을 입력지진으로 하고, 면진구조물로는 가압경수형 원자로격납건물을 이용하여 수평(NS) 및 수직지진입력에 대한 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 0.5Hz 수평면진 구조물의 경우 수평방향 가속도응답은 지반특성에 무관하게 거의 변화가 없으며, 또 2Hz 이상에서 비면진구조물의 수평지진가속도응답보다 현저히 낮은 가속도응답을 갖는다. 면진베어링의 수직방향 21Hz 고유진동수는 풍화암의 경우 수직방향 가속도응답에 영향을 주지 않으나. 경암의 경우 원자로지지점에서의 수직방향 가속도응답을 전반적으로 증가시킨다. 비면진 구조물의 경우 지반의 강성이 약할수록 가속도응답이 비교적 큰 폴라크레인위치에서 수평 및 수직방향 가속도응답이 감소되는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 수직방향의 가속도응답이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
