In the present study, in order to apply a cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model to multi-layered ground conditions during large earthquake, the numerical simulations of the 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu Earthquake at Port Island, Kobe, Japan, were performed by the seismic response analysis. From the seismic response analysis, it was found that the acceleration calculated from the cyclic elasto-viscoplastic model and cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic models for clay was in close agreement with the recorded accelerations at the Port Island down-hole array, and the cyclic elastic-viscoplastic and viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive models showed little different behavior characteristics near clay layer. Thus, the propriety of viscoplastic model for clay was convinced. Therefore, it can be concluded that a cyclic viscoelastic-viscoplastic constitutive model can give a good description of the amplification and also it showed accurate damping characteristics of clay during large event which induces plastic deformation in large strain range.

Pile-supported wharf is a structure that can transmit and receive cargo, and it is mainly installed on saturated inclined ground. In the seismic design of these structures, the codes suggest using the response spectrum analysis method as a preliminary design method. However, guideline on modeling method for pile-supported wharf installed in saturated soil is lacking. Therefore, in this study, the dynamic centrifuge model test and response spectrum analysis were performed to evaluate the seismic performance of pile-supported wharf installed into the saturated soil. For the test, some sections (3×3 pile group) among the pile-supported wharf were selected, and they were classified into two model (dry and saturated sand model). Then the response spectrum analysis was performed by using the soil spring method to the test model. As a result of test and analysis, the m om ent difference occurred within a m axim um of 51% in the dry sand m odel and the saturated sand model where liquefaction does not occur, and it was found that the pile moment by depth was properly simulated. Therefore, in the case of these models, it is appropriate to perform the modeling using the Terzaghi (1955) constant of horizontal subgrade reaction (n_h)

이방향 천공 발파공법의 실용성을 입증하여 실시공에 착수하기 위해서는 수치해석을 통하여 사전에 종방향 및 방사방향 천공발파에 따른 지표면에서의 지반진동의 영향을 알아보는 것이 필요하였다. 정확한 현장조건과 발파하중이 주어진 상태에서의 정밀해를 구하기 위해서는 시공상의 발파패턴대로 전체 발파공을 모형화하는 것이 필요하나 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 해석목적상 기존공법과 신공법의 지반응답의 차이를 비교하는 것이 주목적이였기 때문에 해석조건을 동일하게 가정하고 발파공도 대표적인 방향성을 가지는 1개공만을 선택하여 해석을 수행하였다. 기존 종방향 천공 발파공법과 신공법인 이방향 천공 발파공법의 상대적 비교를 위한 3차원 동적 해석결과, 관심의 대상이 되는 터널 직상부의 경우 기존의 종방향 천공 발파에 비해 이방향 천공발파는 진동이 두드러지게 감소함을 알 수 있었으며 이는 발파공의 방향성에 따라 지반응답이 크게 영향을 받는다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 터널굴착시 문제시 되는 지상구조물의 위치에 따라 발파공의 위치를 적절히 조절함으로써 문제발생 예상지역의 진동치를 감소시킬 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 그러나 이러한 잇점은 확대발파전 파이롯트 터널이라는 자유공간이 존재할 때만 가능하므로 이방향 천공 발파공법은 TBM의 효용성을 극대화시킨 것이라 할 수 있다.

Seismic response of single degree of freedom system supported by shallow foundation was analyzed by using nonlinear explicit finite difference element code. Numerical analysis results were verified with dynamic centrifuge test results of the same soil profile and structural dimensions with the numerical analysis model at a centrifugal acceleration of 20 g. Differences between the analysis and the test results induced by the boundary conditions of control points can be reduced by adding additional local damping to the natural born cyclic hysteretic damping of the soil strata. The analysis results show good agreement with the test results in terms of both time histories and response spectra. Thus, it can be concluded that the nonlinear explicit finite difference element code will be a useful technique for estimating seismic residual displacement, earthpressure etc. which are difficult to measure during laboratory tests and real earthquake.

진동기초의 해석 및 설계에서의 주요사항은 진동하중자체의 특성을 산정하는 것과 기초구조의 수평, 수직, Rocking, Pitching 응답의 해석 및 수평-Rocking이 연계된 운동의 해석이다. 현재 사용되는 진동기초설계의 해석방법은 Reissner(1936)의 반무하지반영역 위에 놓인 원형강판에 대한 해석적 결과를 이용한 여러가지 변형된 방법이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 진동기초의 해석방법은 지반의 모형화하는 방법에 따라 탄성 반무한영역으로 지반을 모형화하는 경우 (Reissner(1936), Shekhter(1948), Sung(1953), Quinlan(1953), 등)와 감쇠-탄성스프링에 의해 지반을 모형화하는 경우 (Lysmer and Richart(1966), Barkan(1962), 등)로 나눌 수 있다. 최근의 실제 설계에는 선형스프링 이론을 바탕으로 하여, 감쇠효과와 진동에 참여하는 흙의 질량영향을 무시하는 Barakan(1962)의 방법이 많이 사용되고 있다.

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.

지진파 전파로 인한 매설관에 작용하는 지진하중은 지진특성 및 지반조건에 따른 지반변형률로부터 산정되어야 한다. 그러나. 기존에 사용되고 있는 경험적인 방법에 의해 계산된 지반변형률 모형은 지진 및 지반의 지역적 특수성을 고려할 수 없는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 지진특성 및 지반조선을 반영할 수 있는 수정된 지반변형률 모형을 제안하고 개발된 모형을 매설관로의 지진해석에 지진하중으로 적용하였다. 여기서, 지반변형률을 예측하기 위한 지진판 전파속도는 지반조건을 고려할 수 있도록 파 에너지분포에 근거한 분산곡선을 제안하여 산정하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻어진 지반변형률 산정방법에 타당성을 파악하기 위해 예측한 지반변형률과 과거 지진으로 실측된 지반변형률을 비교하였다. 타당성이 입증된 지반변형률 모형을 매설관의 하중으로 적용하여 지진해석을 실시하였으며, 계산결과는 범용 유한요소해석을 통한 동해석 및 응답변위법에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. 이를 통해 지반 변형률 모형을 적용한 매설관 지진해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 지진 및 지반환경이 다른 다양한 관의 특성을 반영하기 위해, 지진 지반 및 관의 영향 인자에 대해 매개변수 해석에 실시되었으며, 이로써 본 연구의 활용성을 검토하였다.

In the seismic designing of bridges, the pile foundation of bridge piers generally have been modeled to have a fixed end for its convenience and conservative designing. The fixed-end assumption, however, produces very conservative results in terms of the pier forces. Therefore, many other design methods are evolved to consider the flexibility of the pile foundation. In this study, the response spectrum analysis was performed for a bridge pier having a pile foundation. The shear force, moment, and displacement, which occurred at the pier column under an earthquake loading, were compared to analyze the effects of the modeling method, soil condition and the input earthquake response spectrum. In most cases, the fixed-end model gives larger design forces than flexible foundation models. However, when a long period earthquake is applied to the bridge pier on a soft clay foundation, it is found that the flexible foundation models give larger design forces than the fixed-end model. In the end, the reliability of several flexible foundation models was verified by comparing their results with those of a numerical analysis that considers the soil-structure interaction phenomenon in a rigorous manner.

Precise analysis of soil-structure interaction requires a proper description of soil profile. However, such approach becomes generally nearly unpractical for soil exhibiting material discontinuity and complex geometry since meshes should match that material discontinuity line. To overcome these difficulties, a different numerical integration method is adopted in this paper, which enables to integrate easily over an element with material discontinuity without regenerating mesh fellowing the discontinuity line. As a result the mesh is highly structured, loading to very regular silliness matrix. The influence of the shape of soil profile on the response is examined and it is seen that the proposed soil-structure analysis method can be easily used on soil-structure interaction problems with complicated soil profile and produce reliable results regardless of material discontinuities.
