Excessive vibrations induced by earthquake excitation and wind load are an obstacle in design and construction of tall and super tall buildings. An innovative vibration control structure system (Mega-Sub Controlled Structure System-MSCSS) was recently proposed to further improve humans comfort and their safeties during natural disasters. Preliminary investigations were performed using a two dimensional equivalent simplified model, composed by 3 mega-stories. In this paper, a more reasonable and realistic scaled model is design to investigate the dynamical characteristics and controlling performances of this structure when subjected to strong earthquake motion. The control parameters of the structure system, such as the modulated sub-structures disposition; the damping coefficient ratio (RC); the stiffness ratio (RD); the mass ratio of the mega-structure and sub-structure (RM) are investigated and their optimal values (matched values) are obtained. The MSCSS is also compared with the so-called Mega-Sub Structure (MSS) regarding their displacement and acceleration responses when subjected to the same load conditions. Through the nonlinear time history analysis, the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed mega-sub controlled structure system (MSCSS) is demonstrated in reducing the displacement and acceleration responses and also improving human comfort under earthquake loads.

2011년 3월 일본 동북지방의 태평양 연안 해저에서 발생한 거대 지진(M 9.0)에 의한 쓰나미 재해와 지각변동에 대하여 조사하였다. 센다이 해안 평야의 경우 쓰나미에 의한 침수 거리는 현 해안으로부터 4.0km에 달하였다. 쓰나미 사질 퇴적물은 쓰나미 침수범위 중의 바다쪽 60~75%의 구간, 니질 퇴적물은 육지쪽 25~40%의 구간에 분포한다. 이 분포 비율은 센다이 해안평야의 충적층 속에 묻혀있는 과거 거대 쓰나미 때의 퇴적물 분포로부터 당시의 내륙쪽 침수한계를 추정하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 센다이 해안평야 지역에서는 표고가 낮고 저평한 지형조건이, 그리고 리아스식 해안인 산리쿠 해안지역에서는 좁은 만입부에서의 쓰나미 증고 현상이 쓰나미 재해를 크게 증대시킨 요인으로 작용하였다. 이시노마키, 오가와, 오가치, 오나가와 등 동북 일본 해안지역의 여러 곳에서 이번의 대지진으로 인한 지각변동으로 0.5~1.0m정도의 지반침강이 일어났음을 확인하였다.

모듈시스템에 기초한 megastructure 시스템은 미래의 초고층건물에 적합한 효율적인 구조시스템이다. 이 시스템의 하나 또는 여러 모듈의 내부 프레임을 거대한 외부프레임으로부터 분리하면 추가적인 질량을 설치하지 않고도 질량도조 감쇠장치의 효과를 얻을수 있다. 이러한 주-부구조시스템의 최적설계에 미치는 요소에 대한 연구를 위해 일반적으로 간단한 2자유도계(DOF) 시스템으로 모델링할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 시스템의 운동방정식을 유도하고 2DOF으로 모델링하기 위해 만족해야하는 전제조건에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 주어진 질량과 감쇠비에서 부구조물의 최적질량을 유도하고 이것을 바탕으로 지반진동에 의한 응답스펙트럼을 구하여 주-부구조시스템의 진동제어 효과를 검증하였다.

Buckling-restrained braces are passive control devices with high level of energy dissipation ability. However, they suffer from low post-yield stiffness which makes them vulnerable to severe ground motions, especially near-field earthquakes. Among the several methods proposed to improve resistance of BRB frames, mega-brace configuration can be a solution to increase frame lateral strength and stiffness and improve distribution of forces to prevent large displacement in braces. Due to the limited number of research regarding the performance of such systems, the current paper aims to assess seismic performance of BRB frames with mega-bracing arrangement under near-field earthquakes via a detailed probabilistic framework. For this purpose, a group of multi-story mega-BRB frames were modelled by OpenSEES software platform. In the first part of the paper, simplified procedures including nonlinear pushover and Incremental Dynamic Analysis were conducted for performance evaluation. Two groups of near-fault seismic ground motions (Non-pulse and Pulse-like records) were considered for analyses to take into account the effects of record-to-record uncertainties, as well as forward directivity on the results. In the second part, seismic reliability analyses are conducted in the context of performance based earthquake engineering. Two widely-known EDP-based and IM-based probabilistic frameworks are employed to estimate collapse potential of the structures. Results show that all the structures can successfully tolerate near-field earthquakes with a high level of confidence level. Therefore, mega-bracing configuration can be an effective alternative to conventional BRB bracing to withstand near-field earthquakes.

메가골조시스템은 사용되는 구조재료를 절약하면서도 구조물의 강성을 효과적으로 높일 수 있는 장점 때문에 고층건물의 설계에 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 메가골조시스템이 주로 적용되고 있는 초고층건물의 구조설계에서는 횡하중에 대한 거주자의 불안감을 최소화시키는 것이 주요한 관심사중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메가골조구조물의 사용성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 일반적인 수동 TMD의 제어성능을 개선한 준능동 TMD(STMD)를 사용하였다. 이를 위하여 TMD에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 수동감쇠기 대신 준능동 MR 감쇠기를 사용하여 STMD를 구성하였다. 메가골조구조물의 일반적인 유한요소해석모델은 매우 많은 수의 자유도로 구성되어 있기 때문에 원형모델을 사용하여 STMD의 제어성능을 검토하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 메가골조구조물의 동적 거동을 정확하게 표현할 수 있는 최소한의 자유도를 가진 응축모델을 행렬응축기법을 이용하여 제안하였다. 또한 일반적인 행렬응축기법의 효율성을 향상시키기 위하여 메가골조구조물의 특성을 활용한 다단계 행렬응축기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 응축모델을 사용한 제어의 효율성과 정확성 및 메가골조구조물에 대한 STMD의 제어성능을 예제해석을 통하여 검증하였다.

Even though Korea has very low possibility that a big earthquake occurs like in Japan, China, Taiwan and United States of America, because it is located on the interior of Eurasian Plate, the earthquake which was struck northeast Japan in March 11th, 2011 gave a big shock to Korean. And small-medium earthquakes have been observed 922 times in Korea since 1978 when an earthquake hit Hong-seong and a seismographic station started observation. Moreover, the number of quakes has been on the increase. In case a big earthquake occurs like in northeast Japan, it would be a terrible disaster for Korean power utilities and brings mega effects on Korean society and economy. So it is necessary to apply anti-earthquake design for new power facilities and to reinforce existing facilities. Therefore, this paper would present anti-earthquake design for transmission line and substation and reinforcement measures for existing facilities.

284개의 IGS GPS 관측소와 한반도 및 인근 섬들에 위치한 22개 GPS 관측소의 관측 데이터를 이용하여 2011년 3월 11일에 발생한 진도 9.0Mw의 Tohoku-Oki 지진이 아시아 및 한국의 GPS 상시관측소에 미친 위치변동량을 분석하였다. GPS 관측데이터는 지진발생일을 기준으로 전후 7일씩 총 15일간 수신자료를 이용하였으며, GAMIT/GLOBK 소프트웨어를 이용하여 등진역 변위와 지진 후 변위를 해석하였다. 연구 결과, Tohoku-Oki 지진의 영향이 광범위 하여 진앙 중심으로부터 2,702km 떨어진 GPS 상시관측소에서도 등진역 변위가 발생한 것으로 나타났으며, 일본과 가까운 한국, 중국, 대만, 러시아 등 여러 국가에서도 지진의 영향이 확인되었다. 또한, Tohoku-Oki 지진은 한국의 GPS 상시관측소에 최소 14.9mm에서 최대 58.3mm에 이르는 위치변동량을 발생시켜 측지기준망의 성과를 새롭게 정비하지 않고 GPS 측량을 수행하는 경우 최대 20mm에 이르는 위치오차가 발생할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Distributed-Steel Bar Reinforced Concrete (DSBRC) columns, a new and innovative construction technique for composite steel and concrete material which can alleviate the difficulty in the arrangement of the stirrup in the column, were studied experimentally and analytically in this paper. In addition, an ordinary steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) column was also tested for comparison purpose. The specimens were subjected to quasi-static load reversals to model the earthquake effect. The experimental results including the hysteresis curve, resistance recession, skeleton curves and ductility ratio of columns were obtained, which showed well resistant-seismic behavior for DSBRC column. Meanwhile a numerical three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element (FE) analysis on its mechanical behavior was also carried out. The numerically analyzed results were then compared to the experimental results for validation. The parametric studies and investigation about the effects of several critical factors on the seismic behavior of the DSBRC column were also conducted, which include axial compression ratios, steel ratio, concrete strength and yield strength of steel bar.

When seismic isolation system is applied to high aspect-ratio (height/wide-ratio) steel structures, there are several problems to be taken into consideration. One is lifting up tensile force on the isolation bearing by overturning moment caused by earthquake. Another is securing building stiffness to produce seismic isolation effects. Under these conditions, this paper reports the structural design of high-rise research building in the campus of Tokyo Institute of Technology. With the stepping-up system for the corner bearings, the narrow sides of single span framework are designed to concentrate the dead load as counter-weight for the tensile reaction under earthquake. Also we adopted concrete in-filled steel column and Mega-Bracing system covering four layers on north & south framework to secure the horizontal stiffness of the building.
