본 연구는 미중부지역의 New Madrid 지역에서 일반적으로 존재하는 다경간 PSC 교량의 지진거동을 평가하였다. 지진 해석은 비선형 교량모델과 인공지진파를 사용하여 수행하였으며, 인공지진파는 50년 동안 발생확률이 10%와 2%의 두 가지 수준을 사용하였다. 10%의 지진파에 대해서는 해석교량은 양호한 응답을 보였으나, 2%의 지진파에 대해서는 비선형 거동을 보이면 응답이 좋지 않았다. 바닥판사이의 충돌로 인하여 기둥의 요구량이 증가하였으며 교량받침의 파손이 발생하였다. 또한 PSC 거더를 연속화하면 매우 만족한 응답의 개선효과가 있었으며, 이러한 연속화는 유지보수의 절감 및 사하중에 의한 모멘트의 감소를 위해서 일반적으로 행해지는 것이다.

The tsunami hazard analysis is performed for testing the application of probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis to nuclear power plant sites in the Korean Peninsula. Tsunami hazard analysis is based on the seismic hazard analysis. Probabilistic method is adopted for considering the uncertainties caused by insufficient information of tsunamigenic fault sources. Logic tree approach is used. Uljin nuclear power plant (NPP) site is selected for this study. The tsunamigenic fault sources in the western part of Japan (East Sea) are used for this study because those are well known fault sources in the East Sea and had several records of tsunami hazards. We have performed numerical simulations of tsunami propagation for those fault sources in the previous study. Therefore we use the wave parameters obtained from the previous study. We follow the method of probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) suggested by the atomic energy society of Japan (AESJ). Annual exceedance probabilities for wave height level are calculated for the site by using the information about the recurrence interval, the magnitude range, the wave parameters, the truncation of lognormal distribution of wave height, and the deviation based on the difference between simulation and record. Effects of each parameters on tsunami hazard are tested by the sensitivity analysis, which shows that the recurrence interval and the deviation dominantly affects the annual exceedance probability and the wave heigh level, respectively.

A comprehensive methodology is proposed for design of metallic dampers in seismic retrofit of earthquake-damaged frame structures. It is assumed that the metallic dampers remain elastic and only provide stiffness during frequent earthquake (i.e., earthquake with a 63% probability of exceedance in 50-year service period), while in precautionary earthquake (i.e., earthquake with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50-year service period), the metallic dampers yield before the main frame and dissipate most of the seismic energy to either prevent or minimize structural damages. Therefore by converting multi-story frame to an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system, the added stiffness provided by metallic dampers is designed to control elastic story drifts within code-based demand under frequent earthquake, and the added damping with the combination of added stiffness influences is obtained to control structural stress within performance-based target under precautionary earthquake. With the equivalent added damping ratio, the expected damping forces provided by metallic dampers can be calculated to carry out the configuration and design of metallic dampers along with supporting braces. Based on a detailed example for retrofit of an earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete frame by using metallic dampers, the proposed design procedure is demonstrated to be simple and practical, which can not only meet current China's design codes but also be used in retrofit design of earthquake-damaged frame with metallic damper for reaching desirable performance objective.

Referring to the formulation of physical stochastic optimal control of structures and the scheme of optimal polynomial control, a nonlinear stochastic optimal control strategy is developed for a class of structural systems with hysteretic behaviors in the present paper. This control strategy provides an amenable approach to the classical stochastic optimal control strategies, bypasses the dilemma involved in It$\hat{o}$-type stochastic differential equations and is applicable to the dynamical systems driven by practical non-stationary and non-white random excitations, such as earthquake ground motions, strong winds and sea waves. The newly developed generalized optimal control policy is integrated in the nonlinear stochastic optimal control scheme so as to logically distribute the controllers and design their parameters associated with control gains. For illustrative purposes, the stochastic optimal controls of two base-excited multi-degree-of-freedom structural systems with hysteretic behavior in Clough bilinear model and Bouc-Wen differential model, respectively, are investigated. Numerical results reveal that a linear control with the 1st-order controller suffices even for the hysteretic structural systems when a control criterion in exceedance probability performance function for designing the weighting matrices is employed. This is practically meaningful due to the nonlinear controllers which may be associated with dynamical instabilities being saved. It is also noted that using the generalized optimal control policy, the maximum control effectiveness with the few number of control devices can be achieved, allowing for a desirable structural performance. It is remarked, meanwhile, that the response process and energy-dissipation behavior of the hysteretic structures are controlled to a certain extent.

This study aims to evaluate seismic performance of existing low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings by comparing their displacement capacities and displacement demands under selected ground motions experienced in Turkey as well as demand spectrum provided in 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code for design earthquake with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years for soil class Z3. It should be noted that typical residential buildings are designed according to demand spectrum of 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years. Three RC building sets as 2-, 4- and 7-story, are selected to represent reference low-and mid-rise buildings located in the high seismicity region of Turkey. The selected buildings are typical beam-column RC frame buildings with no shear walls. The outcomes of detailed field and archive investigation including approximately 500 real residential RC buildings established building models to reflect existing building stock. Total of 72 3-D building models are constructed from the reference buildings to include the effects of some properties such as structural irregularities, concrete strength, seismic codes, structural deficiencies, transverse reinforcement detailing, and number of story on seismic performance of low and mid-rise RC buildings. Capacity curves of building sets are obtained by nonlinear static analyses conducted in two principal directions, resulting in 144 models. The inelastic dynamic characteristics are represented by "equivalent" Single-Degree-of- Freedom (ESDOF) systems using obtained capacity curves of buildings. Nonlinear time history analysis is used to estimate displacement demands of representative building models idealized with (ESDOF) systems subjected to the selected ground motion records from past earthquakes in Turkey. The results show that the significant number of pre-modern code 4- and 7-story buildings exceeds LS performance level while the modern code 4- and 7-story buildings have better performances. The findings obviously indicate the existence of destructive earthquakes especially for 4- and 7-story buildings. Significant improvements in the performance of the buildings per modern code are also obvious in the study. Almost one third of pre-modern code buildings is exceeding LS level during records in the past earthquakes. This observation also supports the building damages experienced in the past earthquake events in Turkey.

RMS, Kurtosis, Crest factor, Probability of exceedance와 Probability density function 등의 통계적 파라미터를 선정하여 베어링의 사용조건과 결함진전에 따른 변화특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 4볼 시험기에서 하중, 회전수 및 시간을 변화시키면서 실험하여 진동신호를 수집하고, 이를 A/D변환시킨 후 디지털 필터링하여 주파수 대역별 통계적 파라미터 값을 계산하였다. 실험결과, 하중이나 회전수와 같은 운전조건이 변화하는 경우 RMS의 값은 운전조건 변화에 따라 변하지만 Kurtosis 등의 통계적 파라미터들은 운전조건과 무관하게 steady한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 통계적 파라미터와 시간과의 상관관계에 대한 실험으로부터 통계적 파라미터들을 결함의 진전 상태를 나타내는 파라미터로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 따라서 파손방지를 위한 예측지표로서 이들 통계적 파라미터를 이용할 수 있을것으로 판단되었다.

Duration curves describe the percentage of time that a certain water quality (total/fecal coliform (=TC/FC)) or discharge is exceeded. The curves methodology are usually based on daily records and are useful in estimating how many days per year and event will be exceeded. The technique was further applied to estimated TC/FC loading to the Geumho River, using the daily mean flow rate and TC/FC concentration data during January, 2001 and December, 2011 for the Geumhogang6 (=Seongseo water level station) where an automated monitoring station is located in Gangchang-bridge. Low flow of the Seongseo (=11.1 cms) was equivalent to 75.3% on an exceedance probability scale. Load Duration curve for TC/FC loading at the Seongseo was constructed. Standard load duration curve was constructed with the water quality criteria for class III (TC/FC concentration = 5000/1000 CFU/ 100 mL). By plotting TC/FC observed load duration curve with standard load duration curve, it could be revealed that water quality do not meet the desired water quality for 68.8/11.2% on an exceedance probability scale. IF linear correlation between flow rate and coliform concentration is assumed, it can be interpreted that water quality exceed desired criteria when daily average flow rate is over 11.9/109.9 cms.

가뭄은 지속기간과 심도의 두 가지 변량으로 특징지어지는 수문사상이므로 가뭄 지속기간과 심도를 동시에 고려하는 이변량 가뭄빈도해석이 요구된다. 그러나 이변량 결합 확률분포는 3차원의 분포형태를 나타내어 실무에서 분석과 활용이 불편하다는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 코플라 함수를 활용하여 이변량 결합 확률분포함수를 추정한 후, 지속기간별 조건부 확률분포함수를 산정하였고, 비초과확률에 따른 임계심도를 결정하였다. 과거 극심했던 가뭄사상들을 바탕으로 95% 비초과확률에 해당하는 임계심도를 갖는 극한 가뭄사상에 대하여 수문학적 위험도를 산정하였다. 10개월 지속기간을 가지는 가뭄사상의 경우, 가뭄위험도가 가장 높은 지역은 광주, 인제, 울진으로 전국 평균에 비해 1.3-2.0배 높은 가뭄발생확률을 나타내었다. 또한, 남부지역이 중부와 북부지역보다 더 높은 가뭄 취약성을 갖는다는 것을 확인하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the trend for exceedance of the domestic permissible exposure limit of benzene based on a review of the previous literature. Materials and methods: From among 13 chemical substances regulated through a PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) in the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the research object of this study is benzene. The information utilized is work environment measurement data from 2004 to 2013. The highest level among the concentration data measured at various workplaces was selected as a representative value through the data process. N.D. (Not Detected) data was considered as 1/2 of the LOD (limit of detection). Results: Among the work environment measurement data between 2004 and 2013, the highest number of exceeding workplaces and the excess rate (12 sites and 5.4%) was observed in the 2006 data when applying the current PEL for benzene. When compared with the action level, which means a level one-half of the PEL, 2005's data showed the highest number of exceeding workplaces and greatest excess rate (89 sites & 13.3%). The number of exceeding workplaces and excess rate relative to the PEL for benzene showed an increasing trend in 2004, but tended to decrease after 2007. Conclusions: Based on the results obtained from this study, the exposure level for benzene among domestic workers is not considered to be in a safe phase regardless of the year of work environment measurement. Thus, strict preventive management in workplaces should be provided for reducing exposure to benzene.

1GHz 이하의 주파수 대역에서 비정지궤도 위성이동지구국과 육상이동국간의 주파수 공유에 따른 간섭 확률을 계산하였다. 전파전파 모델(Propagation model)로서 Flat earth 모델과 Hata 대도시 모델을 사용하고 그에 따른 이동 지구국(MES:Model earth station)의 전력값에 대한 확률밀도함수를 구한 후 이를 이용하여 간섭 기준을 초과할 확률을 도출하였다. 비정지궤도 위성이동서비스(MSS: Mobile staellite service) 전체 영역의 단위 시간당 평균 전송량과 단말의 비율을 변화시킴으로서 단위시간당 평균전송량을 구하였고, 이로부터 주어진 전력 한계값을 초과하는 확률을 통계적인 방법으로 예측하였다. 그 결과, MSS 전체 영역의 단위 시간당 평균 전송량과 단말의 비율이 각각 증가함에 따라 간섭허용기준을 초과할 확률이 증가하였다. 또한, LMS(Land Mobile Service)와 MSS의 사용 주파수의 중심주파수로부터의 편차에 따른 분리 효과를 고려하였다.
