사용후핵연료 저장조는 지진하중에 대하여 운영기간중 자체의 구조적 건전성 및 저장된 사용후핵료의 안전성을 확보할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 LRB 면진장치를 설치한 사용후핵연료 면진저장조의 지진시 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 두종류의 지진에 대하여 지진해석을 하여 그 결과를 비면진 저장조에서의 응답과 비교하였다. 면진장치를 사용함으로써 지진시 상부구조로 전달되는 지진력과 응답을 크게 감소시켜 저장조와 저장된 사용후액연료의 안전성 확보에 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

As large structures such as high-rise buildings and cable-stayed bridges become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a method to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, the seismic performance of MR dampers are studied and compared with that of the NZ system as a base isolation system. As the control algorithm of the MR damper, the clipped-optimal control(applied LQR method) is employed. A five-story building is modeled and the seismic performance of the two systems subjected to three different earthquakes is compared. The results show that the MR damper system can provide superior protection than the NZ system for a wide range of ground motions.

A computer program named \"NLDA-BIS\", which runs under the MATLAB environment, is developed fur seismic response analysis of base isolated structures. This program can explicitly model the various nonlinear isolation elements such as elastomeric bearings, sliding bearings and general viscous dampers, and so on. Newmark'\`s constant average acceleration method fur calculating the responses in time domain and the iterative pseudo-force method for treating the nonlinear isolation forces are adopted. For capturing the hysteretic behavior of isolation elements, the modified Wen's equations are adopted and solved by the numerical differentiation formula method. To verify the validity of the developed program, the seismic responses of a six-story reinforced concrete base isolated structure are calculated and compared with results obtained by the program \"3D-BASIS\" developed at the State University of New York at Buffalo which is the most widely used code far analyzing isolated structures today.ed structures today.

Base isolation bearings are known as an effective system to Protect bridges from the earthquake damage. There are many types of base isolation bearings in the market. Among them, steel hysteretic damper, made of mild steel and one of the oldest ones, has some good features. Since steel hysteretic damper is made of steel and has simple structure, it is cheeper and easier to maintain than other types. Despite the advantages, steel hysteretic damper with pin-type elements has no application in Korea. The steel hysteretic damper with pin-type elements are tested to examin the basic characteristics and to evaluate antiseismic performance. In this paper, the results of the test are presented.

There are many types of seismic isolation devices that are being used today for structural control of earthquake response in buildings. The most commonly used are sliding bearings and elastomeric bearings, the latter with or without lead core. An alternative solution is the use of steel springs combined with viscoelastic fluid dampers, which is the case discussed in this paper. An analytical study of a three-story building supported on helical steel springs and viscoelastic fluid dampers, GERB Control System (GCS), subjected to near-fault earthquakes is presented. Several earthquakes records have been obtained by the acceleration network installed in the isolated building and in its non-isolated twin since they were finished. These experimental results are analysed and discussed. The aim is to show that the spring-based system can be an alternative for base isolation of small building located near active faults.

In this paper, the seismic response of elevated broad and slender liquid storage tanks isolated by elastomeric or sliding bearings was investigated. The accuracy of predictions of SAP2000 vs. 3D-BASIS-ME programs was examined. A comparative study of the performance of base isolated tanks when isolation bearings are placed at the top or at the bottom of the supporting tower structure was conducted. It was found that base isolation is quite effective in reducing the earthquake response of elevated liquid storage tanks in which high reductions of base shear and shaft displacement were achieved. Modeling the isolated tanks in SAP2000 was very successful in producing results that are nearly identical to those of program 3D-BASIS-ME. Placing the isolators at the top of the shaft in elevated tanks proved to be much better than placing them at the bottom.

In this study, to enhance the seismic performance of nuclear power plants (NPP), a small laminated rubber bearing (LRB) is chosen as a seismic design option of the vulnerable equipment. Prior to the application of equipment base isolation, it is necessary to review the feasibility that the technique contributes enough to the seismic performance of NPP by analysis. At first, some preliminary design of small LRBs for equipment is carried out. Design parameters such as horizontal and vertical stiffnesses, design natural frequencies are checked by calculation and analysis for the four design options considering various upper weights. Performance test of small LRB is to be carried out to verify static performance using the results.

In this study, the analytical method to evaluate the response of rotor-bearing system subjected to base excitation was presented. The equations of motion contain speed dependent gyroscopic terms, base rotation dependent parametric terms and several forcing function terms which depend on linear accelerations, rotational accelerations and a combination of linear and rotational combination. The study of rotor-bearing system excited by its base motion is not only able to predict the rotational performance, but provides the fundamental data for vibration isolation. In order to illustrate transient response, transient response analysis of a practical application sample were performed. The transient response was carried out for the given base excitation by using the state-space Newmark method that incorporates the average velocity concept.

Recent severe earthquakes in and around the vital public places worldwide indicate the severe vulnerability of ground excitation to be assailed. Reducing the effect of seismic lateral load in structural design is an important conception. Essentially, seismic isolation is required to shield the superstructure in such a way that the building superstructure would not move when the ground is shaking. This study explores the effectiveness, design, and practical feasibility of base isolation systems to reduce seismic demands on buildings of varying elevations. Thus, static and dynamic analyses were conducted based on site-specific bi-directional earthquakes for base-isolated as well as fixed-based buildings. Remarkably, it was discovered that isolators used in low-rise to high-rise structures tend to significantly decrease the structural responses of seismic prone buildings. The higher allowable horizontal displacement induces structural flexibility and ensure good structural health of the building stories. Reinforcement from vertical and horizontal members can be reduced in significant amounts for BI buildings. Thus, although incorporating base isolators increases the initial outlay, it considerably diminishes the total structural cost.

In a previous paper, ambient vibration tests were conducted on a cable stayed bridge with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI) to extract the dynamic characteristics of the bridge and compare the results with a seismic analysis model. In this paper, a nonlinear seismic analysis model was established for analysis of the bridge to compare the difference in seismic responses between nonlinear time history analysis and multi-mode spectral analysis methods in the seismic design phase of cable supported bridges. Through these studies, it was confirmed that the seismic design procedures of the "Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable Supported Bridges" is not suitable for cable supported bridges installed with R-FBI. Therefore, to reflect the actual dynamic characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure is proposed that applies the seismic analysis method differently depending on the seismic isolation effect of the R-FBI for each seismic performance level.
