Recently, as large structures become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a means to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, a base isolation system using hysteretic damper is shown to effectively protect structures against earthquakes. A mechanical model is determined that can effectively portray the behavior of a typical E-shape device. Comparison with experimental results for a hysteretic damper indicates that the model is accurate over a wide range of operating conditions and adequate for analysis. The seismic performance of hysteretic dampers are studied and compared with the conventional systems as a base isolation system. A five-story building is modeled and the seismic performance of the systems subjected to three different earthquake is compared. The results show that the hysteretic damper system can provide superior protection than the other systems for a wide range of ground motions.

본 연구에서는 지진해일 모의결과를 바탕으로 하여 지진해일모형 결과에 민감하게 작용할 수 있는 다양한 입력조건을 분석하였다. 우선 2004년 인도양 지진해일 모의를 위하여 다중격자체계를 갖추고 있는 COMCOT모형과 수심적분된 Boussinesq모형의 결합모형을 사용하였으며, 근해역에 지진해일 충격 및 피해산정 결과에 유효한 영향을 주는 입력인자를 파악하기 위하여 4가지의 시나리오를 설정하였다. 각 시나리오에서는 3개의 서로 다른 독립인자가 포함되었으며 이들은 배타적으로 결정되어 최소한의 시나리오로 다양한 분석이 가능하도록 하였다. 즉, 시나리오 1에서는 지진해일의 초기수면상태를 산정하기 위한 간략화된 단층모형을 적용하였고, 이 때 바닥마찰에 대한 고려는 배제되었다. 시나리오 2에서는 시나리오 1과 모든 조건은 동일하게 하였으나 유한단층 모형을 통해 초기수면상태를 산정하도록 하였다. 이처럼 유사하게 시나리오 3에서는 복잡한 지형 특성을 나타내는 몰디브 지역의 보다 정확한 해석을 위하여 몰디브 지역의 상세격자망을 추가적으로 다중격자체계에 포함시켰다. 마지막으로 바닥마찰항에 대한 민감도를 분석하기 위하여 시나리오 4에서는 바닥마찰항에 대한 고려를 포함시켰다. 또한, 4가지 시나리오 외에 결합모형의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, COMCOT모형만을 사용하는 시나리오를 추가적으로 설정하였다. 즉, 시나리오 1과 모든 조건은 동일하되 COMCOT모형만을 사용하도록 하였다. 설정된 조건에 따른 수치모의 결과, 지진해일 내습에 따른 해수위 변화는 각 시나리오별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, Boussinesq모형에 의한 지진해일의 동수역학적 거동은 COMCOT모형을 사용한 결과와 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 특히 파랑에 기인한 난류적 거동은 극명한 대조를 이루었다. 따라서, 본 연구결과를 통해 향후 파랑에 기인한 난류적 거동의 정확모의를 위해 수치해석에 따른 확산오차 및 바닥마찰항에 대한 면밀한 연구가 필요함을 시사하였다.

Based on Trifuilac's empirical model to transform earthquake acceleration time history in the time domain into Fourier amplitude spectrum in the frequency domail an earthquake scaling technique for simulating the earthquake record of certain magnitude as the required magnitude earthquake was suggested. Also, using the earthquake record of magni dude(M) 5.8, the simulated earthquake of magnitude(M) 8.0 was established and its application to dynamic testing system was proposed. The earthquake scaling technique could be considered by several terms : earthquake magnitude(M), earthquake intensity(MMI), epicentral distance, recording site conditions, component direction and confidence level required by the analysis. Albo, it had an application to the various earthquake records. The simulated earthquake in this study was established by two orthogonal horizontal components of earthquake acceleration-time history. The simulated earthquake shaking could be applied to the dynamic pile load test for the model tension pile and the model compressive open -ended piles driven into the pressure chamber. In the static pile load test, behavior of two piles was very different and after model tension pile experienced 2 or 3 successive slips of the pile relative to the soil, it was failed completely. During the simulated earthquake shaking, dynamic behavior and pile capacity degradation of two piles were very different.

This study presented a composite beam element for modeling the inelastic behavior of the steel beam, which has composite slabs in steel moment frames that are subjected to earthquake ground motions. The effects of composite slabs on the seismic behavior of steel moment frames were investigated. The element can be considered as a single-component series hinge type model whose predicted analytical results were consistent with the experimental results. Likewise, the element showed a significantly better performance than the bare steel beam elements. The composite model can also predict more accurately the local deformation demands and overall response of structural systems under earthquake loading compared with the bare steel models. Therefore, composite stabs can significantly affect locally and globally predicted responses of steel moment frames.

In this study, the behavior and safety factor of a nailed-soil excavation wall during earthquake is presented. The horizontal displacement, axial force, shear force, and moment of facing of a nailed-soil excavation wall subjected to static and seismic load are analyzed using time history analysis. The safety factor based on the strength reduction technique proposed by Dawson and Roth is used to calculate the safety factor of a nailed-soil excavation wall during earthquake. The safety factor by the proposed method is verified by comparing with those by other methods.

Dynamic behavior of rock structures depends largely on the dynamic characteristics of ground and input earthquake wave. For blocky rocks with intense discontinuities, the mechanical characteristics of blocks and structural and mechanical characteristics of discontinuities affect overall behavior. In this study, UDEC was adopted to evaluate the dynamic behavior of rocks with various structural characteristics. Obtained results were compared to those of $FLAC^{2D}$, a continuum analysis, and the validity of the method was examined for dynamic analysis of discontinuous rocks for earthquake. Analysis considering the discontinuity showed significant changes in structural shape by the influence of joint behavior, and the behavior by continuum analysis was overestimated.

All brick masonry buildings are constructed without any structural limitation under earthquake load, in Korea. However, it is necessary to evaluate response for seismic loads since the number of earthquake occurances in Korea is increasing. In this paper, the load resisting capacities of brick masonry buildings are investigated by finite element analysis method and the response due to seismic load are analyzed by applying 0.12g earthquake load. It was observed that the two story masonry building is not safe under the 0.12g earthquake load, especially at the first floor. The cracks were occurred under the bond beam and around the openings due to the stress concentration.

An analysis algorithm and a computer program have been developed to clarify the geometrically nonlinear response characteristics of a suspension bridge subject to the support excitation. The Finite Element procedures are utilized for the application to a self-anchored suspension bridge or to a mono-duo cable suspension bridge. The propagation of earthquake wave is simulated by taking a record as the input at the left anchorage of the bridge, and addign appropriate time delay to the other inputs for the purpose of considering the multi-support effects. According to the application for a mono-duo self-anchored suspension bridge, it has been found that the effects of nonlinear behavior and multi-support excitation are notable for this relatively short-spanned suspension bridge.

The capacity of bearings installed at abutments and piers for continuous bridges is usually determined by the magnitude of the maximum vertical reaction at each support and the capacity of bearings placed at piers is higher than that at abutments. In this study, the possibility of the improved seismic performance of base-isolated continuous skew bridges was investigated by analysing the variation of the seismic behavior of them according to three arrangements of bearings. Based on the conventional arrangement of bearings(Case A), three arrangements of bearings such as Case A, Case B and Case C were selected considering the variation of the horizontal stiffness of the lead rubber bearing(LRB) installed at the pier. The seismic behavior of the total 36 skew bridges was investigated by conducting the response spectrum analysis using the hybrid response spectrum considered the effect of LRB's damping. Results of analyses show that a more desirable seismic behavior of base-isolated continuous skew bridges can be obtained by reducing the magnitude of the horizontal stiffness of LRB placed at the pier to similar to or less than that of LRB installed at abutments. The variation of LRB's stiffness at the pier brings about period elongation and the change of mode shapes of base-isolated skew bridges and results in the reduction of the total base shear, the maximum base shear at the pier and the girder stresses. Although positive effects on the seismic behavior of base-isolated skew bridges caused by the change of arrangement of bearings decreased slighty with an increase in the flexibility of the substructure, the proposed arrangements of bearings bring about the improved seismic performance of base-isolated continuous skew plate girder bridges with less than 10m height of piers.
