Structural inertial interaction is a representative the effect of dynamic soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI), which leads to a relative displacement between soil and foundation, period lengthening, and damping increasing phenomena. However, for a system with a significantly heavy foundation, the dynamic inertia of the foundation influences and interacts with the structural seismic response. The structure-to-foundation mass ratio (MR) quantifies the distribution of mass between the structure and foundation for a structure on a shallow foundation. Although both systems exhibit the same vertical factor of safety (FS_v), the MR and corresponding seismic responses attributed to the structure and foundation masses may differ. This study explored the influence of MR on the permanent deformation and seismic response of soil-foundation-structure system considering SFSI via numerical simulations. Given that numerous dimensionless parameters of SFSI described its influence on the structural seismic response, the parameters, except for MR and FS_v, were fixed for the sensitivity analysis. The results demonstrated that the foundation inertia of heavier foundations induced more settlement due to sliding behavior of heavily-loaded systems. Moreover, the structural inertia of heavier structures evidently exhibited foundation rocking behavior, which results in a more elongated natural period of the structure for lightly-loaded systems.

Cantilever retaining wall movements generally depend on the intensity and duration of ground motion, the response of the soil underlying the wall, the response of the backfill, the structural rigidity, and soil-structure interaction (SSI). This paper investigates the effect of material properties on seismic response of backfill-cantilever retaining wall-soil/foundation interaction system considering SSI. The material properties varied include the modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, and mass density of the wall material. A series of nonlinear time history analyses with variation of material properties of the cantilever retaining wall are carried out by using the suggested finite element model (FEM). The backfill and foundation soil are modelled as an elastoplastic medium obeying the Drucker-Prager yield criterion, and the backfill-wall interface behavior is taken into consideration by using interface elements between the wall and soil to allow for de-bonding. The viscous boundary model is used in three dimensions to consider radiational effect of the seismic waves through the soil medium. In the seismic analyses, North-South component of the ground motion recorded during August 17, 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake in Yarimca station is used. Dynamic equations of motions are solved by using Newmark's direct step-by-step integration method. The response quantities incorporate the lateral displacements of the wall relative to the moving base and the stresses in the wall in all directions. The results show that while the modulus of elasticity has a considerable effect on seismic behavior of cantilever retaining wall, the Poisson's ratio and mass density of the wall material have negligible effects on seismic response.

A proper physical modeling of infilled building frame-foundation beam-soil mass interaction system is needed to predict more realistic and accurate structural behavior under static vertical loading. This is achieved via finite element method considering the superstructure, foundation and soil mass as a single integral compatible structural unit. The physical modelling is achieved via use of finite element method, which requires the use of variety of isoparametric elements with different degrees of freedom. The unbounded domain of the soil mass has been discretized with coupled finite-infinite elements to achieve computational economy. The nonlinearity of soil mass plays an important role in the redistribution of forces in the superstructure. The nonlinear behaviour of the soil mass is modeled using hyperbolic model. The incremental-iterative nonlinear solution algorithm has been adopted for carrying out the nonlinear elastic interaction analysis of a two-bay two-storey infilled building frame. The frame and the infill have been considered to behave in linear elastic manner, whereas the subsoil in nonlinear elastic manner. In this paper, the computational methodology adopted for nonlinear soil-structure interaction analysis of infilled frame-foundation-soil system has been presented.

The seismic analysis of structures without applying the effects of soil can undermine functional objectives of structure so that it can affect all the desired purposes at the design and control stages of the structure. In this research, employing OpenSees and MATLAB software simultaneously and developing a definite three-dimensional finite element model of a high-rise concrete structure, designed using performance-based plastic design approach, the performance of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and Active Mass Damper (AMD) is both examined and compared. Moreover some less noted aspects such as nonlinear interaction of soil and structure, uplift, nonlinear behavior of structure and structural torsion have received more attention. For this purpose, the analysis of time history on the structural model has been performed under 22 far-field accelerogram records. Examining a full range of all structural seismic responses, including lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, lost plastic energy, number of plastic hinges, story shear force and uplift. The results indicate that TMD performs better than AMD except for lateral displacement and inter-story drift to control other structural responses. Because on the one hand, nonlinear structural parameters and soil-structure interaction have been added and on the other hand, the restriction on the control force applied that leads up to saturation phenomenon in the active control system affect the performance of AMD. Moreover, the control force applied by structural control system has created undesirable acceleration and shear force in the structure.

지하수계의 근간을 이루는 토양시스템은 유기화학물질에 오염되기 쉬운 환경에 놓인다. 이러한 토양의 유기화학물질 침투 거동을 평가하기 위해 점토, 실트 및 모래로 구성된 실험장치에 유기화학 물질 이동실험을 하였다. Chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane 및 trichloroethylene은 토양을 통해 이동이 쉽게 이루어지며, 투과된 오염물질의 질량은 전체 질량의 최소 4.6에서 최대 19.2% 범위를 보였다. Tetrachloroethylene Tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene 및 1,3-dichlorobenzene은 토양 흡착에 의해 이동이 지연되어졌으며, 각 매개체의 0.6 ~ 4.8%가 표층에서 여과되는데 이용되었다. Carbon tetrachloride는 거의 투과되지 못하였고, 단지 0.1 ~ 0.4% 질량만이 침투거동에 도달하였다. Bromoform은 거의 투과되지 못하였으며, 브롬화(Br) 화합물의 중간 전환물질로도 확인되었다. 유기화학오염물들의 이동은 토양입자크기 및 수리전도도 등에 따라 달라진다고 여겨지나 본 연구에서는 유기화학오염물들의 이동은 점토, 실트 토양보다 모래 토양에서 더욱 빠르게 나타났다.

A numerical stepwise approach for cavity expansion problem in strain-softening rock or soil mass is investigated, which is compatible with Mohr-Coulomb and generalized Hoek-Brown failure criteria. Based on finite difference method, plastic region is divided into a finite number of concentric rings whose thicknesses are determined internally to satisfy the equilibrium and compatibility equations, the material parameters of the rock or soil mass are assumed to be the same in each ring. For the strain-softening behavior, the strength parameters are assumed to be a linear function of deviatoric plastic strain (${\gamma}p^*$) for each ring. Increments of stress and strain for each ring are calculated with the finite difference method. Assumptions of large-strain for soil mass and small-strain for rock mass are adopted, respectively. A new numerical stepwise approach for limited pressure and plastic radius are obtained. Comparisons are conducted to validate the correctness of the proposed approach with Vesic's solution (1972). The results show that the perfectly elasto-plastic model may underestimate the displacement and stresses in cavity expansion than strain-softening coefficient considered. The results of limit expansion pressure based on the generalised H-B failure criterion are less than those obtained based on the M-C failure criterion.

절취 사면에서의 파괴는 사면의 내부 또는 외부 요인들의 결합에 의해 발생한다. 내부 요인은 사면 자체의 지질 또는 형상 조건과 관련된 파괴 요인이며, 외부 요인은 자연적 또는 인위적으로 사면에 가해지는 파괴 요인이다. 각 요인에 의한 사면 파괴에 기치는 영향의 정도는 사면을 구성하는 지반 조건에 따라 다르며, 사면의 거동 특성에 의해 제어된다. 이 연구에서는 사면의 지반 조건을 거동 특성에 따라 구분하는 기준으로 토층심도율(SR), 블록크기비(BR) 및 암석강도를 사용하였다. 이런 기준에 의하면 사면의 지반 조건은 불연속체적 절리 암반과 연속체적 토상 지반, 파쇄 암반, 괴상 암반으로 구분된다. SFi-system은 이와 같이 구분된 지반 조건에 따라 내부 파괴 요인과 외부 파괴 요인을 평가함으로써 사면 파괴 지수(SFi)를 결정하는 평가 시스템이다. 이 평가 시스템을 실제적으로 사면에 적용한 결과, 사면 파괴 지수는 사면 파괴의 가능성 및 규모와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 보여준다. 따라서 SFi-system은 사면의 파괴 예측과 그 특성 분석을 위한 효과적인 도구로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure on horizontally layered half-space considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. the horizontal and rocking motions of the structures are included in this study. The fluid motion is expressed in terms of analytical velocity potential function which can be obtained by solving the boundary value problem including the sloshing behavior of the fluid as well as deformed configuration of the structure. The effect of the fluid is included in the equation of motion as the impulsive added mass and a frequency-dependent convective added mass along the nodes on the wetted boundary with structure. The soil medium is presented using the 3-D axisymmetric finite elements and dynamic infinite elements. The present method can be applied to the structures embedded in ground as well as on ground since it models the soil medium directly as well as the structure. For the purpose of vertification dynamci characteristics of a tank on homogeneous half-space is analyzed. Comparison of the present results with those by others shows good agreement.

본 논문에서는 기초지반의 강성이 블록식 보강토 옹벽의 거동에 미치는 영향에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 기초지반의 강성이 블록식 보강토 옹벽의 거동에 미치는 근본적인 메카니즘을 고찰하기 위해 보강토 옹벽에 대한 축소모형실험을 수행하였으며 축소모형실험 결과의 타당성을 검토하고 모형실험에서 다룰 수 없었던 다양한 조건을 고려함과 아울러서 현장옹벽 응력수준의 거동을 고찰하기 위해 가상의 현장옹벽에 대해 유한요소해석을 이용한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다. 모형실험 및 유한요소해석 결과에 의하면 기초지반의 강성이 감소할수록 벽체의 변위는 현저히 증가하며, 이러한 벽체변위 증가 현상은 보강토체 내부변형보다는 보강토체의 강체 거동으로 인해 야기되는 메카니즘을 보이는 것으로 나타나 기초지반에 관련된 문제를 외적안정성의 개념에서 다루고 있는 현 설계기준은 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 모형실험 및 유한요소해석 결과를 종합하여 실무적 측면에서의 중요성을 다각적으로 고찰하였다.
