Dynamic response analysis in time dimain is conducted for floating bridges with discrete pontoons subject to spatial variation of ground motions. The Spatial variation of ground motions is considered with the coherency function model which represents wave passage, incoherence and local site effects. The superstructure of the bridge is represented by space frame and elastic catenary cable elements, the abutment us modelde with the spring element of FHWA guideline for considering soil structure interaction and the concept of retardation function is utilized to consider the frequency dependency of the hydrodynamic coefficients which are obtainde by boundary element method. multiple support excitations considering the spatial variation. The noticeable amplification of the response can be shown when the spatial variation of ground motions is incorporated in the anallysis of floating bridges.

장대 교량이 위치한 지반에서 지진에 의한 지반 운동은 교량의 길이 방향으로 공간적인 변화를 일으킨다. 지형 변화나 지반 매질의 물성 변화가 있는 비균질한 지반에서 지반 운동의 진폭과 주파수 성분은 변화하고 이 부지 효과(site effect)는 교량의 지진 응답에 지배적인 영향을 미치며 그 영향은 파전파 효과(wave passage effect)에 의한 지반 각 지점의 지진파 도달시간 차이나 비균질성이 큰 지반에서 파의 다중 반사, 굴절에 의한 영향보다 크다[1]. (중략)

In this study, a ground motion response spectrum for the seismic risk assessment of low and intermediate level radioactive waste repositories was developed. For the development of the ground motion response spectrum, a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) was performed. Through the performance of a PSHA, a seismic hazard curve which was based on a seismic bed rock was developed. A uniform hazard spectrum was determined by using a developed seismic hazard curve. Artificial seismic motions were developed based on the uniform hazard spectrum. A seismic response analysis was performed on the developed artificial seismic motion. Finally, an evaluation response spectrum for the seismic risk assessment analysis of low and intermediate level radioactive waste repositories was developed.

본 논문에서는 국제공동연구로 수행중인 화련 대형내진모델시험 사업에서 계측지진기록을 이용한 모델구조물의 지진응답해석을 수행한 결과를 기술하였다. 지진응답해석은 3차원 유연체적 부구조법을 사용하는 지반-구조물 상호작용해석 전용 전산프로그램인 SASSI를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 지반 특성은 지반조사 결과 제시된 두 가지 지반모델과 계측지진 지반운동으로부터 직접 유도해 낸 지반모델의 지반 특성값을 사용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 지반과 구조물 특성값의 변화에 대한 구조물 지진응답의 민감도 및 지반의 비선형 특성이 구조물의 응답에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred at Ssang-gye-sa, a Buddhist temple in Jirisan, located near the southern border of the Korean peninsula on 4 July 1936. It resulted in severe damage of several buildings and structures in Ssang-gye-sa. Particularly, the top component of a five-story stone pagoda in the temple was tipped over and fell down during the earthquake. This earthquake damage case would be usefully applied to estimating the intensity of ground motion in the Korean peninsula, a moderate seismicity region, where strong motion has never been recorded with the exception of historic seismic events. In order to estimate the local site effects and the corresponding ground motion at Ssang-gye-sa site, intensive site investigations including borehole drilling and in-situ seismic tests such as crosshole and SASW tests were performed in the temple area. Based on the site characteristics, site-specific seismic response analyses using various input motions were conducted for a representative Ssang-gye-sa site by means of both one-dimensional equivalent-linear and nonlinear methods with six input rock outcrop acceleration levels ranging from 0.044g to 0.220g. The resultant site-specific seismic responses indicated the amplified ground motions in the short-period range near the site period of Ssang-gye-sa. Furthermore, the intensity on rock outcrop of the 1936 Jirisan earthquake was estimated by making a comparison between the site responses analysis results in this study and the full-scaled seismic test of pagoda model in the prior study.

지하 토사 조건 및 지질 구조는 지진 시 지반 운동의 증폭에 관련된 부지 효과에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 국내 홍성 지역을 대상으로 시추 조사와 현장 탄성파 시험을 포함한 현장 조사 및 지표 부근지질 정보를 획득하기 위한 부지 답사를 통해 부지 효과를 확인하였다. 홍성 지역은 1978년 계기 지진이 발생한 지역으로서 기반암 상부에 최대 약 50 m 두께의 풍화대 지층이 분포한다. 연구 대상 지역의 공간 지층 구조를 효율적으로 확인하기 위하여 지리정보시스템(GIS) 기법 기반의 지반 정보 시스템(GTIS)의 구축하였으며, 홍성 지역은 분지는 얕고 넓은 형상임을 확인하였다. 홍성 지역의 부지 지진 응답을 평가하기 위하여 대표 단면에 대한 2차원 유한 요소 해석을 수행하였다. 도출된 지진 응답으로부터 지반 운동이 기반암 상부 토사층을 통해 전단파가 전파되면서 증폭되고 분지 형상에 따른 전단파의 상호 작용으로 생성된 표면파로 인해 분지 경계 부근 진동 지속 시간이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 분지 내의 선정된 토사 부지들에 대해서 추가적인 1차원 유한 요소 지진 응답 해석을 수행하였으며, 본 연구 대상 분지가 매우 얕고 넓음에 따라 분지 경계 부근을 제외하고는 분지 내 대부분의 위치에서 2차원 지진 응답과 유사한 결과를 보였다.

A rotating shaft system subjected to seismic motions has been investigated for the various operating modes at start-up. During an earthquake excitation, the rotor may hit the stator of machines due to the excessive deformation of shaft, and thus the response of rotating shaft system of which foundation is supported by the vibration isolation devices has been simulated. In order to examine the transient response of the rotating shaft system at the start-up to both the various operating conditions and the seismic excitation simultaneously, nonlinear equations of motion are derived and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta method. The response of the rotating shaft system is calculated according to the operating modes as recommended by the machine and the system parameters such as the spring stiffness of isolation devices.

The result of recent seismic hazard analysis indicates that the ground motion response spectra for Korean nuclear power plant site have relatively large frequency acceleration contents. In the ordinary seismic fragility analysis of nuclear power plant structures and equipments, the safety margin of design ground response spectrum is directly used as a response spectrum shape factor. The effects of input response spectrum shape on the floor response spectrum were investigated by performing the direct generation of floor response spectrum from the ground response spectrum. The safety margin included in the design ground response spectrum should be considered as a floor response spectrum shape factor for the seismic fragility analysis of the equipments located in a building.

The near fault ground motion(NFGM) is characterized by a single long period velocity pulse of large magnitude. NFGM's have been observed in recent strong earthquakes, Turkey Izmit (1999), Japan Kobe(1995), Northridge(1994), etc. These strong earthquakes have caused considerable damage to infrastructures because the epicenter was close to the urban area, called as NFGM. Extensive research for the far fault ground motion(FFGM) have been carried out in strong seismic region, but limited research have been done for NFGM in low or moderate seismic regions because of very few records. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the effect of near-fault ground motions on RC bridge piers without lap-spliced longitudinal reinforcing steels. The seismic performance of two RC bridge piers under near-fault ground motions was investigated on the shake table. In addition, Two of four identical RC bridge piers were tested under a quasi-static load, and the others were under a pseudo-dynamic load. The respectively two RC bridge pier is comparatively subjected to Pseudo-dynamic loadings and Quasi-Static loadings. This paper indicated that more gives bigger ultimate strain of longitudinal steels to be fractured at bigger PGA motion.

A dynamic fluid-structure-soil interaction analysis method is developed to investigate the effects of translational and/or rocking motions on the seismic response of flexible rectangular liquid storage tanks founded on the deformable ground. The governing equation for the dynamics of 3-D rectangular tanks subjected to the translational and/or rocking motion is abtained by applying Rayleigh-Ritz method. The dynamic stiffness matrices of a rigid rectangular foundation resting on the surface of a stratum overlaid bedrock are calculated by hyperelement method. The seismic responses of 3-D flexible tank model founded on the deformable ground is calculated by combining the governing equation for the fluid-tank system with the dynamic stiffness matrix of th rigid surface foundation.
