There occurred a moderate size earthquake of Magnitude 5 in Whagae-Myun, Hadong-GUn, Kyongsangnam-Do on July 4, 1936. It caused severe damage to the buildings and other structures in Sang-Gye-Sa, a Buddhist Temple. The top component of a five-story stone pagoda was tipped over and fell down to the ground during the earthquake. In order to have accurate and quantitative estimate of the peak acceleration level of that earthquake, a full-scale model was constructed through rigorous verification process. The complete model was mounted on a shaking table and subjected to the dynamic tests. Two kinds of tests were performed: exploratory test and fragility test. The exploratory test was done with low acceleration level. In the fragility test, the behavior of the model was carefully monitored while increasing the acceleration level. The construction details of the model are provided and test procedures are reported. Finally important test results are presented and their implications are discussed.

The inelastic response characteristics of the standard school buildings depending on selection of hysteresis models and variable earthquakes are studied. Three earthquake records of El-centro, Santa-Monica, Taft in accordance with KBC2009 standard and four inelastic hysteresis models such as Degrading tri-linear model, Clough model, Takeda model, and Modified Takeda model are used. The inelastic response characteristics such as story shear force, story drift ratio, story displacement are reviewed. As results, El-centro earthquake shows large response in transverse direction and Santa Monica earthquake shows larger response in longitudinal direction on the contrary. Taft earthquake shows less variation of story drift ratio and story displacement for all hysteresis models and stable response.

It is very important that predict the inelastic seismic behavior exactly for seismic performance evaluation of a building in the performance based seismic design. Evaluation method of seismic performance based on the pushover analysis reflected in PBSE was developed by some researchers. For the evaluation of inelastic global and local seismic responses by pushover analysis exactly. lateral load distribution should be adjusted and reflected the dynamic characteristics of structural system and various seismic ground motions. And performance point should be determined based on the evaluation of reasonable deformation capacity of a building more exactly. An effective method based on the improved the adaptive lateral load distribution and the equivalent responses of a multistory building is proposed in this study to efficiently estimate the accurate inelastic seismic responses. The proposed method can be used to evaluate the seismic performance for the global inelastic behavior of a building and to accurately estimate its local inelastic seismic responses. In order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of this method, inelastic seismic responses estimated by the proposed method are compared with those obtained from other analytical methods.

본 논문에서는 지진시 구조물의 진동을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 모드에너지 기반 신경망 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 모드에너지 기반 신경망 제어 방법은 신경망의 학습 과정에서 구조물의 모드 에너지를 이용하여 목적함수를 구성하며, 이 목적함수를 최소로 하는 학습을 진행한다. 제안된 제어 알고리즘의 적용성을 검증하기 위해서 능동질량감쇠기(AMD, Active Mass Damper)가 설치된 3층 구조물을 예제 모델로 선택하였으며, El Centrol지진을 이용하여 모드에너지기반 신경망제어 알고리즘을 학습시켰다. 모드에너지 기반 신경망 제어 알고리즘의 제어 성능은 학습 후 임의의 지진에 대한 하중으로 California지진을 사용하여 검증하였다. 해석 결과에서 California지진에 대한 제어 전 후의 결과와 기존의 방법인 MLP(Muli-layer Perceptron)의 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 제안된 제어 방법을 적용할 때, 지진시 구조물의 비선형 거동은 제어후 거의 보이지 않는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

비선형 정적 해석법(NSPs)은 최근 구조물의 지진해석방법으로서 그 사용성을 인정받고 있다. 비선형 정적 해석법은 직관적으로 구조물의 지진해석을 수행할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 빌딩구조물의 지진해석법으로 널리 사용되고 있지만, 기본 진동모드에 의해서 구조물의 거동이 지배되지 않는 구조물의 경우에는 그 사용성에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이다. 이를 개선하기 위한 고차모드의 기여분을 반영할 수 있는 비선형 정적 해석법들이 제시 되었지만, 교량 구조물에 사용함에 있어서는 여전히 지진의 특성에 따라 그 사용성 및 신뢰성이 크게 변화하는 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 지진의 특성을 고려할 수 있는 두가지 지수를 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 비선형정적 해석법의 적용성을 사용단계에서 알아 낼 수 있는지에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

대규모의 쉘 구조물 설계에서는 고정하중이 지배적이므로 구조물을 구성하는 부재단면은 거의 고정하중에 의해 결정되는 경우가 많다. 이미 보고된 정적하중에 대한 쉘의 좌굴에 관한 연구결과들이 말해주고 있듯이 구조물의 안전율이 어느정도 확보되어 있는가를 평가하는 일이 우선적으로 중요하다. 그러나 고정하중에 대한 안전율을 확보하여 설계된 쉘이 지진동을 받았을 경우 어떻게 거동할까, 어느정도의 지진동에 견딜 수 있는지를 조사하여 그 구조물의 내진성능을 파악하는 일은 설계상 반드시 필요한 일이라 생각된다. 지진응답에 관한 많은 연구들이 주로 수평지진동을 받는 구조물을 대상으로 하고 있다. 그러나 지진동은 원래가 3차원적인 것이고 따라서 직하형의 지진동을 받을 가능성도 있다. 특히 장span구조물은 상하지진동의 영향이 클 것으로 생각된다. 본 고에서는 상하지진동을 받는 단순지지된 편평쉘의 응답해석례를 소개하고자 한다.

Numerical analysis of slop stability is presented using seismic displacement, response seismic coefficient, and earthquake response analysis methods. In seismic displacement and response seismic coefficient methods, horizontal static seismic force is considered as 0.2g while vertical static seismic force is not considered in analysis. For earthquake response analysis Hahinoha-wave is applied, It is found from result that analysis using response seismic coefficient method is much more conservative than that using seismic displacement method Also, analysis result using earthquake response analysis method is somewhat less conservative about 25% when compared with that using seismic displacement method.

In this study procedure for finding out additional viscous damping required to meet a performance target of an asymmetric nonlinear structure is developed based on the design concept of Pauly. The behavior of an asymmetric nonlinear structure after yielding is investigated. Finally the required amount of equivalent damping is obtained using the direct-displacement-based design method without carrying out time-consuming nonlinear dynamic time history analysis.

The seismic behaviors of steel moment connections are investigated based on the numerical analysis of the connections with US and Japanese typical details. The rupture index, representing the fracture potential, is used to evaluate the ductility of the connections at the critical location. The results show that the presence of a slab increases the beam strength, imposes constraint near the beam top flange, and consequently, induces concentrated deformation near the beam access hall, which reduces the ductility of the connection. The total deformation capacity of the connection depends not only on a beam but also on a column and panel zone.

Presently, the general seismic fragility evaluation method for a bridge system composed of member elements with different nonlinear behaviors against strong earthquakes has been to evaluate at the element-level. This study aims to develop a system-level seismic fragility evaluation method that represents a structural system. Because the seismic behavior of bridges is generally divided into transverse and longitudinal directions, this study evaluated the system-level seismic fragility in both directions separately. The element-level seismic fragility evaluation in the longitudinal direction was performed for piers, bridge bearings, pounding, abutments, and unseating. Because pounding, abutment, and unseating do not affect the transverse directional damages, the element-level seismic fragility evaluation was limited to piers and bridge bearings. Seismic analysis using nonlinear models of various structural members was performed using the OpenSEES program. System-level seismic fragility was evaluated assuming that damage between element-levels was serially connected. Pier damage was identified to have a dominant effect on system-level seismic fragility than other element-level damages. In other words, the most vulnerable element-level seismic fragility has the most dominant effect on the system-level seismic fragility.
