In order to increase seismic performance of nuclear power plant (NPP) in strong seismic zone, lead-rubber bearing (LRB) can be applied to seismic isolation system of NPP structures. Simple equivalent linear model as structural analysis model of LRB is more widely used in initial design process of LRB than a bilinear model. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to earthquakes categorized into 5 different soil-site classes are calculated by both of the equivalent linear- and bilinear- LRB models and compared each others. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of LRB and shear forces of containment in the case of the equivalent linear LRB model are larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model. From the seismic fragility curves of NPP containment structures isolated by LRB, it can be observed that seismic fragility in the case of equivalent linear LRB model are about 5~30 % larger than those in the case of bilinear LRB model.

In order to modeling seismic isolation system such as lead-rubber bearing (LRB), bilinear model is widely used by many researchers. In general, an actual force-displacement relationship for LRB has a smooth hysteretic shape. So, Bouc-Wen model with smooth hysteretic shape represents more accurately actual hysteretic shape than bilinear model. In this study, seismic responses for seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) with LRB modelled by Bouc-Wen and bilinear models are compared with those of NPP without seismic isolation system. To evaluate effect of earthquake characteristics for seismic responses of NPP isolated by LRB, 5 different site class earthquakes distinguished by Geomatrix 3rd Letter Site Classification and artificially generated earthquakes corresponding to standard design spectrum by Reg. Guide 1.60 are used as input earthquakes. From the seismic response results of seismically isolated NPP, it can be observed that maximum displacements of seismic isolation modelled by Bouc-Wen model are larger than those by bilinear model. Seismic responses of NPP with LRB is significantly reduced than those without LRB. This reduction effect for seismic responses of NPP subjected to Site A (rock) earthquakes is larger than that to Site E (soft soil) earthquakes.

본 논문의 목적은 LRB 기초분리장치가 설치된 교량의 내진효과를 해석하는 것이다. 기초분리방법은 지진력이 구조물에 전달되기 전에 그 영향을 최소화시키는 방법으로 현재 건물, 발전소, 교량 등의 구조물에 실용화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 기초분리장치인 Lead Rubber Bearing이 설치된 교량의 단순화된 모델을 개발하고 여러 크기의 LRB에 대하여 지진의 영향을 해석하였다. 단순화된 교량모델의 운동방정식을 Newmark ${\beta}$ 방법에 의해 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 기초분리장치의 모델로는 이중선형성을 갖는 스프링을, 교각모델로는 비선형성 및 강성저하를 고려한 Q-HYST모델을 사용하였다. 해석예로 미국 네바다주에 소재한 Rose Creek 교량에 대한 남북방향 El Centro지진(1940)의 영향을 해석하였다. 상부구조 횡방향처짐, 교각연성 및 교각 밑면 전단력을 구하였다.

In this study seismic response of a base-isolated bridge for soil types is compared. Bilinear model is used for lead rubber bearing(LRB). Accelerograms whose response spectrum matches the design spectrum for soil types are used as earthquake ground excitation. Nonlinear time history analyses using the SAP2000 program is performed. The results show that seismic response of a base-isolated bridge is increased as the soil becomes soft.

In order to improve the seismic performance of structures, friction pendulum system (FPS) is the most commonly used seismic isolation device in addition to lead rubber bearing (LRB) in high seismicity area. In a nuclear power plant (NPP) with a large self weight, it is necessary to install a large number of seismic isolation devices, and the position of the center of rigidity varies depending on the arrangement of the seismic isolation devices. Due to the increase in the eccentricity, which is the difference between the center of gravity of the nuclear structure and the center of stiffness of the seismic isolators, an excessive seismic response may occur which could not be considered at the design stage. Three different types of eccentricity models (CASE 1, CASE 2, and CASE 3) were used for seismic response evaluation of seismically isolated NPP due to the increase of eccentricity (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%). The analytical model of the seismic isolation system was compared using the equivalent linear model and the bilinear model. From the results of the seismic response of the seismically isolated NPP with increasing eccentricity, it can be observed that the effect of eccentricity on the seismic response for the equivalent linear model is larger than that for the bilinear model.

구조물의 진동을 제어하기 위하여 널리 활용되고 있는 기초분리시스템(base isolation system)는 대상구조물에 경제적이며 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 적층(積層)고무받침(laminated rubber bearing) 방식의 기초분리장치(base isolator)를 제작하여 이에 대한 정적 및 동적 특성실험을 수행하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과를 통하여 제작된 기초분리 장치의 정적 및 동적특성을 분석하였으며 실제 구조물에 대한 기초분리장치로서의 적용가능성을 고찰하였다. 최종적으로 기초분리장치에서 나타나는 비선형 힘-변위 이력곡선을 수치적으로 이상화하여 실험결과와 비교하였다.
