Seismic control performance of MR dampers, which have severe nonlinearity, differs with respect to the dynamic characteristics of an earthquake such as magnitude, frequency and duration. In this study, the effects of excitation characteristics on the equivalent linear system of a building structure with the MR damper are investigated through numerical analysis for artificial ground motions generated from different response spectrums. The equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is calculated using Newmark and Hall's equations for ground motion amplification factors. It is found that the equivalent damping ratio of the structure with the MR damper is dependent on the ratio of the maximum friction force of the MR damper over excitation magnitude. frequency contents of the earthquake ground motion affects the equivalent damping ratio of long-period structures considerably. Also, additional damping effect caused by interaction between the viscousity and friction of the MR damper is observed. Finally, response reduction factors for equivalent linear systems are proposed in order to improve accuracy in the prediction of the actual nonlinear response.

근단층지반운동 (near fault ground motion, NFGM)은 일반적으로 진앙거리가 약 10 km 이내인 지역에서 관측되는 장주기 성분의 펄스 형태를 갖는 지반운동으로서 단층의 파열 진행 방향이 전단파의 진행방향과 일치한다. 이들 두 파가 유사한 속도를 갖을 경우 서로 간섭을 일으키어 펄스 형태의 속도파를 발생시키며 단층에 수직한 방향의 속도성분에서 큰 펄스가 발생한다. 강진 지역에서는 NFGM에 대하여 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 우리나라와 같은 중저진 지역에서는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 최근 국내에서도 NFGM에 대한 모델링을 제시되었다. 따라서 이들이 발생할 경우의 피해에 대해 많은 관심이 고조되고 있다. 최근까지 국내에서 수행된 RC 교각에 대한 내진 실험은 축소 모형의 경우 국내에 있는 진동대 용량의 한계 및 지진에 의한 교각 상부 구조물의 가속력 구현 방법의 어려움 등으로 수행하기 힘든 여건이 있었다. 그리고 주로 원역지진지반가속도 (far fault ground motion, 이후 FFGM)를 모형화한 준정적 (Quasi-static) 혹은 유사동적 (Pseudo-dynamic) 실험으로 이루어져 왔다. 그 결과 RC교각은 내진성능을 위하여 충분한 연성도를 확보하고 있어야 하는데 소성힌지영역 내에 주철근의 겹침이음이 있게 되면 겹침이음부의 조기파괴가 발생하게 되어 세계 각국의 내진설계규정은 교각의 소성힌지구간에서 주철근겹침이음을 금지하고 있다. 따라서, 이 연구는 주철근의 겹침이음을 시험변수로 가진 RC 교각의 내진성능을 근단층지반운동에 대해서 평가하기 위해서 축소모형을 제작하고 진동대 실험을 수행하였다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability of strong motion records processed by causal and acausal Butterworth filters in comparison to the results obtained from a synthetic accelerogram. For this purpose, the fault parallel component of the Bolu record of the Duzce earthquake is modeled with a sum of exponentially damped sinusoidal components. Noise-free velocities and displacements are then obtained by analytically integrating the synthetic acceleration model. The analytical velocity and displacement signals are used as a standard with which to judge the validity of the signals obtained by filtering with causal and acausal filters and numerically integrating the acceleration model. The results show that the acausal filters are clearly preferable to the causal filters due to the fact that the response spectra obtained from the acausal filters match the spectra obtained from the simulated accelerogram better than that obtained by causal filters. The response spectra are independent from the order of the filters and from the method of integration (whether analytical integration after a spline fit to the synthetic accelerogram or the trapezoidal rule). The response spectra are sensitive to the chosen corner frequency of both the causal and the acausal filters and also to the inclusion of the pads. Accurate prediction of the static residual displacement (SRD) is very important for structures traversing faults in the near-fault regions. The greatest adverse effect of the high pass filters is their removal of the SRD. However, the noise-free displacements obtained by double integrating the synthetic accelerogram analytically preserve the SRD. It is thus apparent that conventional high pass filters should not be used for processing near-fault strong-motion records although they can be reliably used for far-fault records if applied acausally. The ground motion parameters such as ARIAS intensity, HUSID plots, Housner spectral intensity and the duration of strong-motion are found to be insensitive to the causality of filters.

근단층지반운동(NFGM)은 장주기 성분의 펄스 형태를 갖는 지반운동이다. 이들 근단층지반운동은 1994년 미국 Northridge 지진, 1995년 일본 Kobe 지진, 1999년 터키 Izmit 지진 등과 같은 강진 지역에서 관측되었으며 이들 지진의 진앙이 도시 주변에 위치하여 큰 피해를 초래한 바 있다. 강진 지역에서는 원역단층지반운동(FFGM)에 대해 폭넓은 연구가 수행되었으나 비내진 또는 중저진 지역에서는 NFGM에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구는 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 RC 교각을 근단층지반운동에 대해서 해석 연구하는 것이다. 2기의 RC교각은 진동대 실험으로 근단층지반운동을 가력하였다. 추가로 2기의 RC교각은 준정적 실험으로 나머지 2개의 RC교각은 유사동적 실험으로 수행하였다. 이 논문은 횡방향 철근비가 증가 할수록 더 큰 PGA에서 철근이 파괴된다는 것을 보여준다.

국내외에서 점토층이나 준설토 등이 있는 연약지반을 개량하고, 그 지반위에 구조물을 건설하는 수요는 점차적으로 늘어나고 있다. 그리고 이러한 개발과 더불어 태풍, 산사태, 지진 등과 같은 자연재해의 빈도와 규모도 증가하고 있다. 이러한 자연재해로 인한 피해를 예방하기 위한 방법 중 하나가 지반개량공법이다. 본 연구에서는 쇄석을 띠기초 형식으로 설치하였을 때의 주변지반의 가속도 변화를 1-G 진동대 실험을 이용하여 분석하였다. 점토를 이용하여 지반을 조성하고 기초는 쇄석을 띠형식으로 설치하였다. 주기가 다른 입력지진파에 대해 응답가속도와 응답스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 쇄석 띠기초와의 인접거리에 따른 가속도 변화를 분석하여 지진시 쇄석 띠기초가 주변지반의 가속도 변화에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. Hachinohe 지진파 결과에서는 쇄석띠기초와의 거리에 비해 가속도가 큰 감소는 없지만, 두가지 지진파에 대한 최대응답가속도가 쇄석띠기초와의 거리에 반비례하였다. 응답스펙트럼 분석결과, 장주기와 단주기 입력파에서의 감쇠되는 주기가 달랐으며, 이와 같은 응답스펙트럼 변화가 가속도의 최대가속도값에 영향을 준 것으로 판단된다. Hachinohe 지진파에서는 쇄석띠기초와 멀어질수록 0.08~0.5초 사이의 주기에서 감쇠가 컸으며, Northridge 입력파에서는 쇄석띠기초와 멀어질수록 0.2초 이내의 주기에서 감쇠가 컸다.

Various seismic isolation methods are being applied to bridges and buildings to improve their seismic performance. Most seismic isolation systems are the structural seismic isolation systems. In this study, the seismic performance of geotechnical seismic isolation system capable of isolating the lower foundation of the bridge structure from ground was evaluated. The geotechnical seismic isolation system was built with teflon, and the model structure was made by adopting the similitude law. The response acceleration for sinusoidal waves of various amplitudes and frequencies and seismic waves were analyzed by performing 1-G shaking table experiments. Fixed foundation, Sliding foundation, and Rocking foundation were evaluated. The results of this study indicated that the Teflon-type seismic foundation isolation system is effective in reducing the acceleration transmitted to the superstructure subject to large input ground motion. Response spectrum of the Rocking and Sliding foundation structures moves to the long period, while that of Fixed foundation moves to short period.

The site coefficients in the common requirements for seismic design codes, which were promulgated in 2017, were reevaluated and the standard design spectrum for soil sites were newly proposed in order to ensure the consistency of the standard design spectra for rock and soil sites specified in the common requirements. Using the 55 ground motions from domestic and overseas intraplate earthquakes, which were used to derive the standard design spectrum for rock sites, as rock outcropping motions, site response analyses of Korean soil were performed and its ground-motion-amplification was characterized. Then, the site coefficients for soil sites were reevaluated. Compared with the existing site coefficients, the newly proposed short-period site coefficient $F_a$ increased and the long-period site coefficient $F_v$ decreased overall. A new standard design spectrum for soil sites was proposed using the reevaluated site coefficients. When compared with the existing design spectrum, it could be seen that the proposed site coefficients and the standard design spectrum for soil sites were reasonably derived. They reflected the short-period characteristics of earthquake and soil in Korea.

This article presents the statistical characteristics of elastic floor acceleration spectra that represent the peak response demand of non-structural components attached to a nonlinear supporting frame. For this purpose, a set of stiff and flexible general moment resisting frames with periods of 0.3-3.6 sec. are analyzed using forty-nine near-field strong ground motion records. Peak accelerations are derived for each single degree of freedom non-structural component, supported by the above mentioned frames, through a direct-integration time-history analysis. These accelerations are obtained by Floor Acceleration Response Spectrum (FARS) method. They are statistically analyzed in the next step to achieve a better understanding of their height-wise distributions. The factors that affect FARS values are found in the relevant state of the art. Here, they are summarized to evaluate the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values especially when the supporting structures undergo inelastic behavior. The properties of FARS values are studied in three regions: long-period, fundamental-period and short-period. Maximum elastic acceleration response of non-structural component, mounted on inelastic frames, depends on the following factors: inelasticity intensity and modal periods of supporting structure; natural period, damping ratio and location of non-structural component. The FARS values, corresponded to the modal periods of supporting structure, are strongly reduced beyond elastic domain. However, they could be amplified in the transferring period domain between the mentioned modal periods. In the next step, the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values, caused by inelastic behavior of supporting structure, are calculated. A parameter called the response acceleration reduction factor ($R_{acc}$), has been previously used for far-field earthquakes. The feasibility of extending this parameter for near-field motions is focused here, suggested repeatedly in the relevant sources. The nonlinearity of supporting structure is included in ($R_{acc}$) for better estimation of maximum non-structural component absolute acceleration demand, which is ordinarily neglected in the seismic design provisions.

근단층지반운동은 진앙거리가 약 10 km 이내인 지역에서 관측되는 장주기 성분의 펄스형태를 갖는 지반운동으로서, 도심지에서 발생할 경우 미국 Northridge(1994), 일본 Kobe(1995), 터키 Izmit(1999), 중국 쓰촨성(2008), 아이티지진(2010) 등과 같이 매우 큰 피해를 야기시킨다. 이에 강진지역에서는 NFGM에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 우리나라와 같은 중약진 지역에서는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 근단층 지반운동을 받는 철근콘크리트 교각의 거동과 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 6기의 실험체에 대하여 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 실험 변수로는 심부구속철근비와 상부질량 크기로서 진동대 실험 결과 심부구속철근비가 적거나 상부질량이 클수록 교각의 내진성능이 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 진동대 실험 결과를 분석하여 지진동을 받는 교각의 강성변화에 대한 심부구속철근비와 질량의 영향을 분석하였으며, 변위연성도와 강성과의 관계식을 제안하였다.
