Ground motions in near source region of large crustal earthquakes are significantly affected by rupture directivity and tectonic fling. These effects are the strongest at longer periods and they can have a significant impact on Engineering Structures. In this paper, it is aimed to determine near-fault ground motion effects on the nonlinear response of dams including dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. Four different types of dam, which are gravity, arch, concrete faced rockfill and clay core rockfill dams, are selected to investigate the near-fault ground motion effects on dam responses. The behavior of reservoir is taken into account by using Lagrangian approach. Strong ground motion records of Duzce (1999), Northridge (1994) and Erzincan (1992) earthquakes are selected for the analyses. Displacements, maximum and minimum principal stresses are determined by using the finite element method. The displacements and principal stresses obtained from the four different dam types subjected to these nearfault strong-ground motions are compared with each other. It is seen from the results that near-fault ground motions have different impacts on the dam types.

Umbrella Arch Method(UAM), among others. is commonly applied to increase the facial stability during tunnel excavation and, depending on the field condition, additional reinforcement techniques can be used simultaneously. UAM, together with grouting method, is normally used to reduce ground permeability and improve stability of the tunnel by inserting a series of steel pipes into the ground around the crown inclined to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel. However. there has not been much rigorous study on the effectiveness of UAM, and most of UAM installations depend on empirical judgement rather than on engineering calculation, .In this study, the effectiveness of UAM is demonstrated based on the constitutive relationship involving UAM derived from the mechanics of composite material, and the numerical investigation is compared with small scale experiments on the tunnel reinforcement.

본 논문은 대전역사 하부를 대단면 3-arch 터널로 횡단하기 위한 설계사례를 소개하였다. 본 구간의 당초 계획은 파이프루프에 의한 언더피닝 공법이었으나, 시공상의 어려움과 안전상의 문제로 터널공법으로 변경되었다. 터널폭은 약 28m로 현재까지 국내에서 건설된 터널중 최대폭이고 높이는 10m 이다. 지반조건으로 토피는 터널폭보다 작은 23m 에 불과하며 터널 주변지반은 풍화암이다. 또한, 지상의 대전역사와 경부선 선로의 허용침하기준이 매우 엄격하였다. 따라서, 터널안정성 확보와 더불어 지반침하를 최대한 억제하기 위하여 다양한 대책을 적용하였으며, 이를 검토하기 위하여 2차원 및 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다.

Great efforts have been conducted to investigate the seismic performances of the arch and rectangular underground structures, however, the differences between seismic responses of these two types of underground structures, especially the vault radian influencing the seismic responses of arch structures are not clarified. This paper presents a detailed numerical investigation on the seismic responses of arch underground structures with different vault radians, and aims to illustrate the rule that vault radian affects the seismic responses of underground structures. Five arch underground structures are built for nonlinear soil-structure interaction analysis. The internal forces of the structural components of the underground structures only under gravity are discussed detailedly, and an optimum vault radian for perfect load-carrying functionality of arch underground structures is suggested. Then the structures are analyzed under seven scaled ground motions, amounting to a total of 35 dynamic calculations. The numerical results show that the vault radian can have beneficial effects on the seismic response of the arch structure, compared to the rectangular underground structures, causing the central columns to suffer smaller axial force and horizontal deformation. The conclusions provide some directive suggestions for the seismic design of the arch underground structures.

The aim of this study is to investigate the seismic resistance of dry stone arches under in-plane seismic loading. For that purpose, several numerical analyses were performed using the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM). Twelve types of arches with different ratios of a rise at the mid-span to the span, different thicknesses of stone blocks and different numbers of stone blocks in the arch were subjected to an incremental dynamic analysis based on excitation from three real horizontal and vertical ground motions. The minimum value of the failure peak ground acceleration that caused the collapse of the arch was adopted as a measure of the seismic resistance. In this study, the collapse mechanisms of each type of stone arch, as well as the influence of the geometry of stone blocks and stone arches on the seismic resistance of structures were observed. The conclusions obtained on the basis of the performed numerical analyses can be used as guidelines for the design of dry stone arches.

In this study, Matsuda's formula, which has been used to evaluate the acting load on the concrete pillar in 2-Arch tunnels, is investigated and a load reduction factor $({\alpha})$, which has been estimated from numerical parametric studies, is proposed for a better design of 2-Arch tunnels in the future. Numerical parametric studies show that the concrete pillar is subjected to a stress concentration on the excavation side during the first tunnel driving and when tunnel excavation is completed, the induced stress on the pillar in a poor quality of ground condition is 1.5 to 1.8 times the stress developed during the first tunnel driving. In addition, the numerical studies indicate that the acting load on the pillar is in the range of $14{\sim}83%$ of the load estimated by Matsuda's formula. From these results, a load reduction factor $({\alpha})$ is determined and it would make 2-Arch tunnel design more economically.

근래 들어 도심지 지하공간 개발에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 도심지 터널계획이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 도심지 구간에는 주민 생활환경을 고려하여 지하정거장이 계획되며, 기존 구조물의 안정성 및 환경훼손 저감 등을 위해 2-Arch터널 정거장을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 도심지 구간은 심한 풍화작용에 따라 불량지반의 심도가 깊게 발달되어 터널 안정성 확보를 고려한 신중한 계획이 요구된다. 이뿐만 아니라 도심지의 복합적인 지반상태를 고려하여 본선터널에 TBM 기계굴착 공법을 적용하는 경우, 기존 NATM형 2-Arch터널과는 시공연계성을 확보할 수 없게 된다. 본 연구에서는 쉴드TBM과 2-Arch터널을 조합한 형태인 TBM선굴진 2-Arch터널을 국내 최초로 적용한 설계사례를 중점으로 기술하고자 하였다. 중앙터널 굴착후 좌우터널 시공을 고려하여 쉴드TBM 세그먼트 설치 및 해체를 위해 고려한 설계사항을 설명하고, 수치해석을 활용한 안정성 검토를 통해 TBM선굴진 2-Arch터널의 설치효과를 검증하였다.

Geological and geotechnical surveys, in general, should precede the excavation to ensure the stability of the tunnel md should be followed up according to the various geological condition during the excavation. However actually the standard support patterns which were decided during the design phases used be insisted for the whole excavation phases in spite of the various geological conditions. When $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ tunnel was excavated up to 25m long, the severe displacement was generated in the Portal area of $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ tunnel and the tunnel face was pally collapsed. Therefore, this paper present the case study on construction associated with the Umbrella Arch Method used in silty ground by the NATM.

In this paper, it is aimed to present a detail investigation about the comparison of static and dynamic behavior of historical masonry arch bridges considering different arch curvature. $G{\ddot{o}}derni$ historical masonry two-span arch bridge which is located in Kulp town, Diyarbakir, Turkey is selected as a numerical application. The bridge takes part in bowless bridge group and built in large measures than the others. The restoration projects were approved and rehabilitation studies have still continued. Finite element model of the bridge is constituted with special software to determine the static and dynamic behavior. To demonstrate the arch curvature effect, the finite element model are reconstructed considering different arch curvature between 2.86 m-3.76 m for first arch and 2.64 m-3.54 m for second arch with the increment of 0.10 m, respectively. Dead and live vehicle loads are taken into account during static analyses. 1999 Kocaeli earthquake ground motion record is considered for time history analyses. The maximum displacements, principal stresses and elastic strains are compared with each other using contour diagrams. It is seen that the arch curvature has more influence on the structural response of historical masonry arch bridges. At the end of the study, it is seen that with the increasing of the arch heights, the maximum displacements, minimum principal stresses and minimum elastic strains have a decreasing trend in all analyses, in addition maximum principal stresses and maximum elastic strains have unchanging trend up to optimum geometry.
