기존 교량 중 내진 설계가 되어 있지 않은 교량의 내진 성능에 관한 평가는 향후 발생 가능한 지진에 대한 대비로써 중요하다. 성능평가 결과, 소요의 내진 성능을 보유하고 있지 못하다면 그에 대한 보강이 필요하며 보강방법으로는 여러 가지가 있다. 그 중 지진격리증기를 이용한 내진 보강은 교량에서 교각이나 기초 등에 추가적인 시공 없이 기존 받침을 교체함으로써 비교적 간단하게 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 그 시공사례가 증가하고있는 지진격리증기를 기존 비내진 교량의 보강에 사용할 때 교량의 내진 성능향상을 합리적으로 규명하기 위해 기존상태의 교량 및 지진격리장치로서 내진 보강된 교량의 내진 성능을 비교하였다. 이를 위해 기존 교량 및 내진 보강된 교량에 대해 비선형 정적ㆍ동적 해석을 수행하였으며 목표 수준의 지진에 대하여 각각의 응답을 산정하고 이를 비교하여 내진 성능 향상을 확인하였다.

Seismic isolation systems can improve the seismic safety of nuclear power plants by decreasing seismic force transmitted to structures and equipment. This study evaluates the effectiveness of equipment seismic isolation systems by the comparison of core damage frequencies in non-isolated and isolated cases. It can be found that the seismic isolation systems increase seismic capacity of nuclear equipment and decrease core damage frequencies significantly. The effect of equipment isolation is more significant in the PGA range of 0.3g to 0.5g.

This paper presents a study on a non-seismically designed reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure. The structure was a existing three-story office building constructed according to the 1990s practice in Vietnam. The 1/3 scaled down versions of structure was tested on a shake table to investigate the seismic performance of this type of construction. It was found that the inter-story drift and the overall behavior of structure meet the requirements of the actual seismic design codes. Then, nonlinear time history analyses are carried out using the fiber beam- column elements. The comparison between the experimental and simulation results shows the performance of the time history analysis models.

A reinforced concrete (RC) cast-in-place (CIP) infill wall retrofitting method may provide an improved seismic performance and economical efficiency for the non-ductile rahmen structures. In this study, four one story-one bay non-ductile frame were constructed and retrofitted with CIP infill wall to evaluate seismic performance of CIP infill wall-frame. From the test results, infill wall-frame exhibited a marked increase in shear strength compared to non-ductile RC frame specimen. But the ductility and story-drift at maximum load were decreased when shear strength of infill wall larger than that of existing RC frame. Therefore, it is confirmed that adequate reinforcement detail is required to assure sufficient seismic performance.

The concept of base isolation for equipment is well known. Its application in buildings and structures is rather challenging. Introduction of horizontal flexibility at the base helps in proper energy dissipation at the base level thus reducing the seismic demand of the super structure to be considered during design. The present study shows the results of a series of numerical simulation studies on seismic responses of secondary system (SS) housed in non-isolated and base-isolated primary structures (PS) including equipment-structure interactions. For this study the primary structure consists of two similar single bay three-store reinforced cement concrete (RCC) Frame building, one non-isolated with conventional foundation and another base isolated with Lead plug bearings (LPB) constructed at IIT Guwahati, while the secondary system is modeled as a steel frame. Time period of the base isolated building is higher than the fixed building. Due to the presence of isolator, Acceleration response is significantly reduced in both (X and Y) direction of Building. It have been found that when compared to fixed base building, the base isolated building gives better performance in high seismic prone areas.

본 연구에서는 내진설계 이전에 지어진 학교 건물을 대상으로 내진보강효과를 알아보기 위하여 CBD 시스템을 설치하여 기존 비내진 설계된 보강 RC골조 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 비내진 설계된 실험체는 좌 우측 기둥의 상 하부에 피해가 집중되면서 급격한 강도저하와 함께 취성적인 전단파괴의 양상을 나타낸 반면, CBD 시스템을 보강한 실험체는 강도 및 강성의 증가와 함께 탄소성 거동을 보이면서 에너지 흡수 능력이 큰 타원형의 이력특성을 나타내었다. 또한, 두 실험체의 강성저하를 비교한 결과 CBD 시스템을 보강한 실험체가 강성저하를 방지하는데도 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 에너지소산능력도 CBD 시스템을 보강한 실험체가 비보강 실험체에 비해 약 4.0배의 향상된 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 에너지소산능력의 증진은 내력과 변형 능력의 증진에 따른 결과라고 사료된다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 CBD 시스템을 적용할 경우 비내진 상세를 갖는 철근콘크리트 골조의 내력 증진 및 안전성 확보를 위해 국내 내진기준에서 요구하는 허용층간변형각 기준을 만족하도록 보강하는데 용이하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This work presents a comparison of three performance-based seismic design methods (PBSD) as applied to plane steel frames having eccentric braces (EBFs) and buckling restrained braces (BRBFs). The first method uses equivalent modal damping ratios (ξ_k), referring to an equivalent multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) linear system, which retains the mass, the elastic stiffness and responds in the same way as the original non-linear MDOF system. The second method employs modal strength reduction factors (${\bar{q}}_k$) resulting from the corresponding modal damping ratios. Contrary to the behavior factors of code based design methods, both ξ_k and ${\bar{q}}_k$ account for the first few modes of significance and incorporate target deformation metrics like inter-storey drift ratio (IDR) and local ductility as well as structural characteristics like structural natural period, and soil types. Explicit empirical expressions of ξ_k and ${\bar{q}}_k$, recently presented by the present authors elsewhere, are also provided here for reasons of completeness and easy reference. The third method, developed here by the authors, is based on a hybrid force/displacement (HFD) seismic design scheme, since it combines the force-base design (FBD) method with the displacement-based design (DBD) method. According to this method, seismic design is accomplished by using a behavior factor (q_h), empirically expressed in terms of the global ductility of the frame, which takes into account both non-structural and structural deformation metrics. These expressions for q_h are obtained through extensive parametric studies involving non-linear dynamic analysis (NLDA) of 98 frames, subjected to 100 far-fault ground motions that correspond to four soil types of Eurocode 8. Furthermore, these factors can be used in conjunction with an elastic acceleration design spectrum for seismic design purposes. Finally, a comparison among the above three seismic design methods and the Eurocode 8 method is conducted with the aid of non-linear dynamic analyses via representative numerical examples, involving plane steel EBFs and BRBFs.

In different high seismic regions around the world, many non-ductile existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, built without adequate seismic detailing requirements, have been damaged or collapsed after past earthquakes. The assessment and the retrofit of these non-ductile concrete structures is crucial theme of research for all the scientific community of engineers. In particular, a careful assessment of the existing building is fundamental for understanding the failure mechanisms that govern the collapse of the structure or the achievement of the recommended limit states. Based on the seismic assessment, the best retrofit strategy can be designed and applied to the structure. A school building located in Avellino province (Italy) is the case study. The analysis of seismic vulnerability carried out on the mentioned building has highlighted deficiencies in both static and seismic load conditions. The retrofit of the building has been designed based on different retrofit options in order to show the real retrofit design developed from the engineers to achieve the seismic safety of the building. The retrofit costs associated to structural operations are calculated for each case and have been summed up to the costs of the in situ tests. The paper shows a real retrofit design case study in which the best solution is chosen based on the results in terms of structural performance and cost among the different retrofit options.

The seismic deformation method is conventionally used as a seismic design for a multi-utility tunnel in Korea. In the seismic deformation method, the soil ground's natural period is one of the most critical factors for calculating the ground displacement using cosine functions. Correction factors for the natural period and shear wave velocity have been used to consider the non-linearity of dynamic soil properties. However, the correction factors have been issued because the correction factors have not been sufficiently studied to consider Korea's regional conditions. This paper aims to evaluate the natural periods for the seismic deformation method considering Korea's ground conditions. Ground response analysis was performed using seven real earthquake records on twelve sites with different soil conditions where actual multi-utility tunnels are installed. As a result, natural periods of the sites were analyzed and new correction factors were proposed according to seismic performance and Korea's regional conditions.
