Structural engineers lately have an interest in the safety for equipments and facility in buildings subjected to earthquake. The stability of cultural assets was not considered for the earthquake induced vibration, while the integrity of structure has been considered through the resistant earthquake design. The purpose of this study aimed to analyze the behavior of isolation device named as \"Isolation table system\" and to evaluate its isolation performance through the experiment study. Isolation table is one of isolation systems to reduce the vibration which was transferred from slab to exhibition table. Experimental result shows that isolation table can reduce the vibration by 80-90% and its behavior is very stable within its maximal stroke.al stroke.

TLCD is a good alternative to TMD for control of structures because of its cost efficiency, ease of installation, little maintenance requirement, potential for multiple usage, and ease of re-tuning. In this study, the control performances of TMD and TLCD are evaluated and compared for seismically excited structures. Results show that TLCD is more effective than TMD for interstory drift control while TLCD is as effective as TMD for acceleration control. In special. it is shown that interstory drifts are maximally controlled in lower floors and accelerations are reduced most in upper floors. This indicates that TLCD is an effective controller for earthquake-induced structures in terms of structural safety as well as serviceability.

In this paper, the seismic performance evaluation was performed on 100 existing open-cut power cable tunnels, including ones that did not consider seismic design, in order to verify that the government's demand level (seismic special grade, 0.22 g). The results of the seismic performance evaluation show that most of the tunnels have seismic performance of 0.3 to 1 g, satisfying the level of the seismic special grade and securing the seismic safety. Meanwhile, the earthquake response analysis and structural test were performed to verify the validity of the method and the results of the seismic performance evaluation of the tunnels by the response displacement method, and to verify their seismic safety. As a result, the relative displacement due to the response displacement method under the 0.22 g earthquake was conservative than the results of the earthquake response analysis, and the results of load-displacement curves and response modification coefficient calculation by real scale structural tests showed the safety of the tunnels.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the seismic safety of Korean R/C school buildings built in the 1980s, based on "the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Capacity of Existing R/C Buildings", the nonlinear static and the nonlinear dynamic analyses. The evaluation result of the Japanese Standard showed that R/C school buildings built in the 1980s have 0.2 through 0.4 of seismic indices($I_S$). This result indicates that more than medium damage could be potentially occurred under a medium intensity level of ground motion(150g). The results of the nonlinear analyses and the post-earthquake damage evaluation method showed that Korean R/C school buildings can be suffered moderate and severe damages under a 150gal and a 200gal intensity levels of ground motions, respectively. These results reveal that R/C school buildings should be urgently required a actual earthquake preparedness measures including seismic strengthening for future earthquake.

Nuclear power plant's safety against seismic events is evaluated as risk values by probabilistic seismic safety assessment. The risk values vary by the seismic failure correlation between the structures, systems, and components (SSCs). However, most probabilistic seismic safety assessments idealized the seismic failure correlation between the SSCs as entirely dependent or independent. Such a consideration results in an inaccurate assessment result not reflecting real physical phenomenon. A nuclear power plant's seismic risk should be calculated with the appropriate seismic failure correlation coefficient between the SSCs for a reasonable outcome. An accident scenario that has an enormous impact on a nuclear power plant's seismic risk was selected. Moreover, the probabilistic seismic response analyses of a nuclear power plant were performed to derive appropriate seismic failure correlations between SSCs. Based on the analysis results, the seismic failure correlation coefficient between SSCs was derived, and the seismic fragility curve and core damage frequency of the loss of essential power event were calculated. Results were compared with the seismic fragility and core damage frequency of assuming the seismic failure correlations between SSCs were independent and entirely dependent.

Modern disasters prevent accidents in advance and recover after accidents are very important. Our government's current response to these accidents is not appropriate. As for disaster management so far, it has been the center of disaster response and recovery efforts, and has been led by the government against it. The reality is that most private organizations and agencies have only subsidized government disaster management agencies. Korea is no longer a safe zone for earthquakes. Now for the establishment of effective disaster management system for earthquakes in the diagnosis is very urgent and the problems of the operational disaster management, which the problems of the nation.Policies to improve academic efforts to seek alternative proposal is also at a time when volume can be said to be very big need to mine. This study from 2016 to 2019, about the earthquake that took place between National Statistical Office, based on analysis of data to. First of all, research 1: What was the government's plan on Pohang earthquake? The results showed that the residents' evacuation of Pohang was important in the Pohang earthquake, but for the sake of students' safety, they were directly assigned to the test site to cope with the emergency situation. Therefore, the research and analysis shows that the nation should continue to think about the causes and responses of the damage at the disaster site and strive to develop technologies and methods to minimize the damage.

In this study, algorithms for analyzing the torsion of buildings under earthquake excitation are developed. The algorithm and formulations to account for the torsional angle are verified by analyzing the seismic acceleration time history data. The method was applied to the reference buildings to examine their operation and usability. The reference application demonstrated that the noise-canceling scheme successfully overcame various obstacles in the field measurements. The developed method is expected to be used as a tool to support a loss assessment system for determining the direction and priority of disaster response in the event of an earthquake.

In this study, a seismic risk analysis performed for an applicability assessment of steel fiber in containment structures. Steel fiber can increase tensile properties of concrete structures moreover compressive and shear capacity. But many of researches about steel fiber reinforced concrete structures are now only focused in axial load condition. Also it is very difficult to find an effort for application to containment structures in NPP. Therefore, in this study, seismic fragility assessment for a steel fiber reinforced concrete containment structure. As a result, a seismic fragility capacity improved according to increase of shear and ductile capacity of concrete. In the case of 1.0% of steel fiber volume fraction, seismic capacity increases as 10%. But very limited previous experimental results were used in this study, so various element tests were needed for more accurate investigation.

최근 건축물의 초고층화에 따른 커튼월 시공에 따라 유리의 비중이 증가하고 있다. 커튼월 구조는 바람, 지진 등에 취약하며, 화재 안전성에 있어서도 취약할 것이라 판단되므로, 국내외 건축용 유리 및 커튼월의 안전기준에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 국내의 유리 기준은 단열 및 내풍압 성능에만 집중되어있으며, 화재 및 지진, 안전성능에 대한 기준이 미비하며, 커튼월에 대한 안전대책은 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 외국의 사례와 같이 초고층에서 커튼월의 안전성능을 고려한 설계프로세스나 안전 기준의 세부화가 필요하다고 판단된다.
