This study introduces the fragility analysis method for the safety evaluation of reinforced concrete pier subject to earthquake. Damage probability is calculated instead of the failure probability from definition of the damage state in the fragility curve. Not only the damage model determined by the response of structure subject to earthquake, but also the plastic-damage model which can represent the local damage is applied to fragility analysis. The evaluation method of damage state by damage variable in global structure is defined by this procedure. This study introduces the fragility analysis method considering the features of nonlinear time history behavior of reinforced concrete element and the plastic behavior of materials. At last, This study gives one of the approach method for seismic margin evaluation with the result of fragility analysis to design seismic load.

This paper presents how to evaluate the transformer damage caused by reclosing scheme at the distribution substation. We describe a quantitative relationship between the reclosing scheme and the number of fault current flowing through transformer wsing the probability of a reclosing success/failure. The transformer damage from reclosing scheme is presented using a weight function and a damage function. A weight function is associated with the number of reclosing attempts and the reclosing deadtime to consider cumulative stress caused by reclosing scheme. A damage function is associated with a transformer impact ratio and a transformer functional life. In the case study, the transformer damage is simulated for the probability of a reclosing success. And the evaluation of transformer damage using KEPCO's operation data is performed.

스폴링 현상은 높은 현지응력하에서 확장균열의 발달로 암반공동 주변에서 발생하는 파괴형태이다. 기존 연구에 의하면 3가지 스폴링 기준은 범위로 제시되어 있어 기준자체의 애매모호함이 상존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지확률이론을 적용한 새로운 스폴링 발생 종합 평가모델을 제안하였고 스폴링 발생현장에 평가모델을 적용한 결과 현장관측결과와 일치하는 결과를 보였으며, 정량적으로 스폴링 발생확률을 산정할 수 있었다. 특히, 3가지 스폴링 평가인자별 상대중요도를 고려한 가중치를 적용함으로써 실제 스폴링이 관측된 현장이 스폴링이 발생하지 않는 것으로 평가되는 오류를 해결하였다. 또한, Martin 등(1999)의 손상지수에 형상계수를 도입한 수정손상지수가 포함된 스폴링 평가인자를 스폴링 발생 종합 평가모델에 적용한 결과 합리적인 스폴링 발생확률을 산정할 수 있었다.

2020년 8월 4일에 베이루트항 저장 창고에 저장되었던 2750 ton의 질산암모늄이 폭발하였다. 이 폭발은 지금까지의 질산암모늄 폭발 중 가장 규모가 큰 것으로 알려졌다. TNT 등가법을 적용하여 2750 ton의 질산암모늄의 폭발 에너지에 상응하는 TNT 등가량을 구한 결과 856 ton으로 나타났다. Kingery-Bulmash 폭발 특성 계산기 툴을 활용하여 폭원으로부터 3600 m 까지의 범위에서 과압과 충격량을 산정하였다. 폭원으로부터 멀어짐에 따라 과압과 충격량은 지수적으로 감소하지만 과압이 더 크게 감소하여 과압이 충격량보다 거리에 따른 영향을 더 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 과압과 충격량이 구조물에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서 구조물의 손상 기준을 적용한 결과 구조물의 부분적 붕괴, 심각한 손상, 가벼운 손상이 발생하는 임계거리는 폭원으로부터 각기 약 500, 800, 2200 m로 나타났다. 구조물과 인체의 손상 확률을 평가하기 위해서 프로빗 함수를 적용하였다. 구조물의 붕괴, 구조물의 심각한 손상, 구조물의 가벼운 손상, 창유리의 파손 가능성이 50% 이상이 되는 지점은 각기 약 500, 810, 2200, 3200 m가 되는 것으로 나타났다. 폭원으로부터 200 m 이내 지점에 있는 사람의 경우 폐 손상으로 인해 사망할 확률이 99% 이상인 것으로, 고막 파열이 발생할 확률이 50%인 지점은 약 300 m인 것으로 나타났다. 전신 이동에 따른 두개골 파열과 전신 충격에 의해 사망할 확률이 100%인 지점은 각기 300, 100 m인 것으로 평가되었다.

화재모델링을 이용한 목표 대상물의 열적 손상에 대한 정량적 위험성 평가방법이 검토되었다. 이를 위해 대표적인 화재모델로서 FDS가 사용되었으며, 특정 구획 내에서 화원 면적 변화에 따른 전기 케이블의 열적 손상과 관련된 확률이 평가되었다. 보수적 관점에서 적용되고 있는 '최대 손상임계 초과확률'과 손상시간의 정보가 포함된 '손상확률'이 체계적으로 비교되었다. 목표 대상물이 표면온도 및 열유속에 대한 최소 손상기준에 도달하는 순간에 열적 손상이 발생된다는 가정이 적용된 최대 손상임계 초과확률에 비해 본 연구에서 제안된 손상확률은 정량적 화재 위험성을 보다 현실적으로 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The flood damage reduction studies have been performed by the channel improvement plan and the levee has mainly constructed with the freeboard concept. However, the freeboard concept might be an inappropriate choice as a safety factor of the levee because many uncertainties are involved in the procedure of the channel improvement plan studies. So, we considered the uncertainties In the discharge-probability, stage-discharge, and stage-damage functions and estimate the expected annual damage. The Monte Carlo technique for uncertainty analysis is used. As our results, the expected annual damage with uncertainty shows the larger value than without uncertainty. Since the expected annual damage with uncertainty already considers the safety factor it is the proper result. However, the expected annual damage without uncertainty does not consider the safety factor yet. Thus, if the expected annual damage without uncertainty considers the freeboard concept, it could be compared with the expected annual damage with uncertainty for the evaluation of the overestimation or underestimation of the levee construction.

This paper provides prediction of ultimate longitudinal strengths of hull girder of a VLCC considering probabilistic damage extents due to collision and grounding accidents based on IMO Guideline(2003). The probability density functions of damage extents are expressed as a function of nondimensional damage variables. The accumulated probability levels of 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70% are taken into account for the damage extent estimation. The ultimate strengths have been calculated using in-house software UMADS (Ultimate Moment Analysis of Damaged Ships) which is based on the progressive collapse method. Damage indices are provided for all heeling angles due to any possible flooding of compartments from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ which represent from sagging to hogging conditions, respectively. The analysis results reveal that minimum damage indices show different values according to heeling angles and damage levels.

The estimation of fatigue life at the design stage is very important in order to arrive at feasible and cost effective solutions considering the total lifetime of the structure and machinery compo-nents. In this study the practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors based on Miner-Palmgren hypothesis and probability density function is shown with a $135,000m^3$ LNG tank being used as an example. In particular the parameters of Weibull distribution taht determine the stress spectrum are dis-cussed. At the end some of uncertainties associated with fatigue life prediction are discussed. The main results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. The practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors expressed in combination of probability density function and S-N data is proposed. 2. The calculated fatigue life is influenced by the shape parameter and stress block. The conser-vative fatigue design can be achieved when using higher value of shape parameter and the stress blocks divded into more stress blocks.

Single-unit probabilistic safety assessment (SUPSA) has complex Boolean logic equations for accident sequences. Multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (MUPSA) model is developed by revising and combining SUPSA models in order to reflect plant state combinations (PSCs). These PSCs represent combinations of core damage and non-core damage states of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Since all these Boolean logic equations have complemented gates (not gates), it is not easy to generate exact Boolean solutions. Delete-term approximation method (DTAM) has been widely applied for generating approximate minimal cut sets (MCSs) from the complex Boolean logic equations with complemented gates. By applying DTAM, approximate conditional core damage probability (CCDP) has been calculated in SUPSA and MUPSA. It was found that CCDP calculated by DTAM was overestimated when complemented gates have non-rare events. Especially, the CCDP overestimation drastically increases if seismic SUPSA or MUPSA has complemented gates with many non-rare events. The objective of this study is to suggest a new quantification method named probability subtraction method (PSM) that replaces DTAM. The PSM calculates accurate CCDP even when SUPSA or MUPSA has complemented gates with many non-rare events. In this paper, the PSM is explained, and the accuracy of the PSM is validated by its applications to a few MUPSAs.

One of the key tools in assessing the seismic vulnerability of the structures is the use of fragile functions, which is the possibility of damage from a particular damage surface for several levels of risk from the seismic movements of the earth. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two categories of earthquake events on the fragile curve (FRC) of the steel construction system. In this study, the relative lateral displacement of the structures is considered as a damage criterion. The limits set for modifying the relative lateral position in the HAZUS instruction are used to determine the failure modes, which include: slight, moderate, extensive and complete. The results show, as time strong-motion increases, the probability of exceeding (PoE) increases (for Peak ground acceleration (PGA) less than 0.5). The increase in seismic demand increases the probability of exceeding. In other words, it increases the probability of exceeding, if the maximum earthquake acceleration increases. Also, 7-storey model in extensive mode has 20 and 26.5% PoE larger than 5- and 3-storey models, respectively.
