In this study, characteristics of seismic behaviors of offshore wind turbine systems using concrete-suction-type supporting structures are investigated. Applying hydrodynamic pressure from the surrounding sea water and interaction forces from the underlying soil to the structural system which is composed of RNA, the tower, and the supporting structure, a governing equation of the system is derived and its earthquake responses are obtained. It can be observed from the analysis results that the responses are significantly influenced by soil-structure interaction because dynamic responses for higher natural vibration modes are increased due to the flexibility of soil. Therefore, the soil-structure interaction must be taken into consideration for accurate assessment of dynamic behaviors of offshore wind turbine systems using concrete-suction-type supporting structures.

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.

동하중을 받는 진동기계기초의 동적해석을 수행하기 위해서는 지반의 임피던스함수의 적절한 산 출이 필수적이며, 회전기계 -기초 -지반의 상호작용이 고려된 동적해석이 요구된다. 이제까지 지 반의 임퍼던스함수는 주로 원형기초에 한하여 제시되어 왔으나, 기초의 형상은 실제로 지반의 임퍼 던스함수에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 여러가지 형상 및 매립된 기초에 적용할 수 있는 임퍼던스함수를 제시하였다. 그리고, 제시된 임퍼던스함수를 바탕으로, 회전기계 -기초- 지반의 상호작용이 고려된 동적해석을 수행할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 개발된 프로그램 을 이용하여 예제해석을 통하여 각종 임피던스함수의 적용에 따른 기계기초의 응답을 비교 검토하였다. 본 연구의 주된 결론은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 1) 주파수독립 임퍼던스함수와 주파수종속 임피던스함수를 이용한 결과를 비교해 볼 때,수평방 향과 회전방향에 대해서는 동적응답이 커다란 차이를 보이지 않으나, 연직방향 운동에 대해서는 상 당한 차이를 보인다. 2) 표면기초와 매립기초를 비교해 본 결과, 매립기초에 있어서 수평방향과 회전방향에 있어서는 동적응답이 거의 일정한 간에 도달하므로 기초가 어느 정도 매립된다면 안전측에 들어간다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나, 연직방향에 있어서는 매립여부에 따라 상당한 차이를 보인다.

본 연구는 국제공동연구로 수행중인 Hualien 대형내진모델시험사업중 모델구조물에 대한 지진 응답 예측해석(blind prediction analysis)에 관한 것이다. 이 해석은 축대칭 무한요소를 이용하여 개발한 전산프로그램 KIESSI와 유연체적법에 의한 전산프로그램 SASSI를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 구조물 및 지반 특성은 뒷채움이 완료된 모델구조물에 대한 통일모델과 예측 후 상관해석 결과를 사용하였다. 그 결과 지진응답 예측해석 결과는 계측된 지진응답과 비교적 잘 일치하였으나 더 좋은 해석결과를 얻기 위해서는 구조물 및 지반 특성을 좀 더 수정할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Seismic design codes developed taking into account the strong earthquakes may result in unnecessary economical loss in the low seismic area, and the importance of the performance based design considering the soil-structure interaction is recognized for the reasonable seismic design. In this study. elastic and inelastic seismic response analyses of a single degree of freedom system on the soft soil layer were performed considering the nonlinearity of the soil for the 1 weak earthquakes scaled to the nominal peak accelerations of 0.07g and 0.11g. The seismic response analyses were performed in one step applying the earthquake motions to the bedrock, utilizing a pseudo 3-D dynamic analysis software of the soil-structure system. The study results indicated that seismic response spectra of a system assuming the rigid base or the linear soil layer does not represent the true behavior of a structure-soil system, and it is necessary to take into account the nonlinear soil-structure interaction effects and to perform the performance based seismic design for the various soil layers, having different characteristics, rather than to follow the routine design procedures specified in the design codes for the reasonable seismic design. The nonlinearity of the soft soil excited with the weak seismic motions also affected significantly on the elastic and inelastic seismic response spectra of a system due to the nonlinear soil amplification of the earthquake motions, and it was pronounced especially for the elastic response spectra.

Site coefficient and amplification factor of current domestic Seismic Design Code (KBC-2009) have no consideration for the domestic ground condition in which the base rock is normally placed within 30m form the surface. Accordingly, in this study dynamic centrifugal test and analysis for pile foundation into sand and upper structure were achieved. and the response spectrums of free surface and basement were compared with each other. Within the period 1 sec., the measured spectral acceleration of free surface and basement was bigger than the design spectral acceleration of SC and SD site. However the measured spectral acceleration of free surface and basement for the period over 1.5 sec. was smaller than the design spectral acceleration of SC site. There was no severe difference of spectral acceleration according to the upper structure, embedded depth of foundation and free surface conditions. Consequently, normal domestic apartment housing for the period range over 1.5sec. could be design more economically applying these test result.

In the dynamic soil-structure interaction(SSI) analysis, numerous uncertain parameters are involved. They include the uncertainties in the definition of input motions, modeling of soil-structure interaction systems. analysis techniques, etc. This paper presents the results of parametric studies of the seismic responses of a reactor containment structure built on the viscoelastic layered soil. Among the numerous parameter, this study concentrates on the effects of definition point of the input motion, embedment of structure to the base soil, thickness of the top soil layer, and rigidity of the base soil. The substructure method using frequency independent impedances is adopted. The method is based on the mode superposition method in time domain using the composite modal damping values of th SSI system computed from the ratio of dissipated energy to the strain energy for each model. From the study results, the sensitivity of each parameter on the earthquake responses has been suggested for the practical application of the substructure method of SSI analysis.

A special finite difference method for nonlinear dynamic response analysis of semi-infinite foundation soil using mapping which transforms semi-infinite domain into finite domain is presented here. For the region of engineering interest, mapping is isometric, and fur far field, shrink mapping which transforms infinite interval into finite interval is adopted. At first, the responses of semi-infinite foundation soil with linear constituting model are computed, and compared with theoretical results and those of existing method. Good agreements are obtained among the results of the proposed method, Lamb's theory and FEM with extensive mesh model. Then the responses of infinite foundation soil are computed by the present method, using small and large mesh model. The results of small and large mesh models agree well with each other, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present the evaluation results for the conservatism of the response acceleration method (RAM), for seismic response analysis of box-type power cable tunnels. We studied 50 examples, considering the cross sections of 25 power cable tunnels, and two soil conditions for each power cable tunnel. A refined dynamic analysis method considering the soil-structure interaction was further employed to evaluate the conservatism of the RAM. The comparison revelated that the seismic responses computed using the RAM were consistent with those obtained using the refined method, since the averages of response ratio (defined as the ratio of the response by RAM to that of the refined method) approached 1.0, and the standard deviations of the response ratio were less than 5%. Finally, we found that applying a load factor of 1.1 to the response of the RAM allowed for a conservative design for seismic loads.
