정적하중은 동적하중에 비해 재하속도가 느리므로 보다 합리적인 내진설계 규준제정을 위해서는 정적 실험과 별도로 동적실험이 필요하다. 그러나 구조물의 실물크기로 동적실험을 수행하기에는 여러 가지 기계적, 경제적인 제약이 있으므로 그 크기를 축소시킨 모형실험이 일반적으로 수행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 11개의 철근 콘크리트 보-기둥 접합부 실험체에 대해 이미 잘 알려진 상사법칙을 적용하여 길이 축척비 1 : 2 : 4로 제작하여, 재하진동수를 0.0025Hz~2.0Hz로 각각 서로 다르게 작용시켜 철근콘크리트 부재의 동적 모형실험에 대한 신뢰성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 상사법칙에 의해 설계된 모형실험체는 원형크기 실험체의 동적거동 예측에 유용하게 사용 될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

it is extremely difficult to perform the dynamic experiments with full-scale specimens. For this reason, small-scale structural models offer an attractive means to peform dynamic loading experiments. The purpose of this reserch is to estabilish the reliance for modeling techniques of small-scale specimens subjected to dynamic cyclic loading. This research focused on the similitude requirements for reinforced concrete frame structures subjected to dynamic cyclic loading. Length scale ratio of specimens were 1:2:4, and six specimens were tested at the frequencies of 0.0025Hz~2.0Hz. It was confirmed that modeling techniques based on the similitude requirements were useful method to evaluate the behavior of full-size R/C structures subjected to earthquake type loading.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for seismic performance tests because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not also enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry similitude is not well consistent in their inelastic seismic behaviors. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to aggregate size. Therefore, it is desirable to use different materials for small-scale model. In our recent study, a modified similitude law was derived depending on geometric scale factor, equivalent modulus ratio and ultimate strain ratio. And quasi-static and pseudo-dynamic tests on the specimens are carried out using constant and variable modulus ratios, and correlation between prototype and small-scale model is investigated based on their test results. In this study, tests on scaled model of different concrete compressive strength aye carried out. In shaking table tests, added mass can not be varied. Thus, constant added mass on expected maximum displacement was applied and the validity was verified in shaking table tests. And shaking table tests on non-artificial mass model is carried out to settle a limitation of acceleration and the validity was verified in shanking table tests.

In order to study the dynamic failure mechanism and aseismic measure for high concrete gravity dam under earthquake, the comparative models experiment on the shaking table was conducted to investigate the dynamic damage response of concrete gravity dam with and without the presence of reinforcement and evaluate the effectiveness of the strengthening measure. A new model concrete was proposed and applied for maintaining similitude with the prototype. A kind of extra fine wires as a substitute for rebar was embedded in four-points bending specimens of the model concrete to make of reinforced model concrete. The simulation of reinforcement concrete of the weak zones of high dam by the reinforced model concrete meets the similitude requirements. A tank filled with water is mounted at the upstream of the dam models to simulate the reservoir. The Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) that induces the first tensile crack at the head of dam is applied as the basic index for estimating the overload capacity of high concrete dams. For the two model dams with and without strengthening tested, vulnerable parts of them are the necks near the crests. The results also indicate that the reinforcement is beneficial for improving the seismic-resistant capacity of the gravity dam.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.

The purpose of this study is to find out the similitude laws for dissipation velocity of excess pore pressure after liquefaction according to magnitude of input accelerations and height of model soils from the results of impulse load tests. In impulse load tests, model soils were constructed to the height of 25cm, 50cm, and 100cm in acrylic tubes whose inside diameters were 19cm and 38cm respectively, and impulse loads were applied at the bottom of each model soil to liquefy the entire model soil. Excess pore pressure distribution by depth and settlement of soil surface were measured in each test. Dissipation curves of excess pore pressure measured in each tests were simulated by solidification theory, and dissipation velocities of excess pore pressure were determined from the slope of simulated dissipation curves. From the results of impulse load tests, dissipation velocity of excess pore pressure was not affected by magnitude of input acceleration, and from this fact, dissipation process was proved to be different from dynamic phenomenon. However, dissipation velocity of excess pore pressure increased as height of model soil increased and showed little difference as diameter of model soil increased. Therefore, the similitude law for dissipation velocity could be expressed by the similitude law for model height to 0.2 without regard to the diameter of model soil.

지반-유체-구조물 시스템에 대한 1g 진동대 실험을 위한 상사법칙의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다. 크기가 서로 다른 3가지의 모형에 대한 실험결과 분석에는 lai가 제안한 상사법칙뿐만 아니라 과잉간극수압 발생을 위한 정상상태개념도 적용하여 각 크기의 모형이 예측하는 안벽시스템의 거동을 서로 비교하였다. 그 결과, 가속도와 과잉간극수압, 그리고 변위 응답의 경우, 가장 작은 모형벽체와 가장 큰 모형벽체는 비슷한 값을 예측한 반면, 중간크기의 모형벽체는 공진현상으로 인해 엉뚱하게 큰 값을 예측하였다. 또한 벽체의 수직침하와 회전각은 모형의 크기와 관계없이 모형벽체시스템의 크기가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

1-g shaking table test is conducted to evaluate the dynamic behavior of a soil-structure system under seismic loading condition. A consistent similitude law between the model and prototype is needed to predict the behavior of the prototype structure, quantitatively. The natural frequency of geomaterial decreases with the increase of shaking intensity because of the non-linear property of the geomaterial. This phenomenon affects the applicability of similitude laws in 1-g shaking table tests. In this study, a simple method is suggested to determine the frequency of the input motions in 1-g tests in order to enhance the applicability of similitude laws. Modified input frequency is calculated using the frequency ratio with consideration of the variation of the natural frequency according to the intensity of input ground acceleration. To verify the applicability of the suggested method, a series of 1-g shaking table tests were performed for three different sizes of model piles having an overburden mass on their heads by varying the acceleration and the frequency of input motion. The acceleration amplification ratio on the overburden mass, the lateral displacement at the pile head and the maximum bending moment along the pile depth were measured. The projected behaviors of the virtual prototype based on the measured values of the model tests, where the input frequencies were calculated by the new method, showed good consistency, verifying the applicability of the suggested method.
