Nonlinear responses of structures may be obtained through three different methods. They are time-history analysis techniques, response spectrum method, and R-factor method. The nonlinear response spectrum method is frequently used in the practice, because the time history analysis method is time-consuming and complicated. There are two different approaches in obtaining the nonlinear response spectrum, which results in "constant displacement ductility spectra" and "constant damage spectra", respectively. The nonlinear response spectra of the various time-histories had been computed and the results were comparatively evaluated in this study. The study results showed that the existing constant displacement ductility spectra can induce unconservative design especially for the structures on soft soil base. This unconservatism can be removed by using the newly proposed constant damage spectra.

In this study, a response spectrum analysis of an electric distributing board (EDB) was conducted to investigate seismic integrity in the design stage. For the seismic analysis, the required response spectra of a safe shutdown earthquake with 2% damping (RRS/SSE-2%) specified in GR-63-CORE Zone 4 was used as the ground spectral acceleration input. A finite element method modal analysis of the EDB was also performed to examine the occurrence of resonance within the frequency range of the earthquake response spectrum. Furthermore, static stress caused by deadweight was analyzed. The resultant total maximum stress of the EDB structure was calculated by adding the maximum stresses from both seismic and static loads using the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) method. Finally, the structural safety of the EDB was investigated by comparing the resultant total maximum stress with the allowable stress.

Seismic qualification of the Air Cleaning Units for nuclear power plant Ulchin 5&6 has been performed with the guideline of ASME Section III and IEEE 344 code. By using the structural and geometrical similarity analysis, the three models to be analyzed are condensed into a single model and, at the same time, the excitation forces and other operating loads for each model are encompassed with respect to different loading conditions. As the fundamental frequencies of the structure are found to be less than 33Hz, which is the upper frequency limit of the seismic load, response spectrum analysis using ANSYS is performed in order to combine the modal stresses within the frequency limit. In order to confirm the structural and electric stability of the major components, modal analysis theory is adopted to derive the required response spectrum at the component locations. As the all combined stresses obtained from the above procedures are less than allowable stresses and no mechanical or electrical failures are found from the seismic testing, the authors confirm the safety of the nuclear equipments Air Cleaning Units studied in this paper.

Torsional irregularity is one of the most probable types of horizontal irregularity and existence of this irregularity in most of the structural loading codes is determined by calculating the ratio of the maximum to the average story drift. No specific method has been previously recommended by the codes to calculate the mentioned ratio in the response spectrum analyses. In the current investigation, nine steel building structures with different plan layouts and number of stories have been analyzed and designed in order to evaluate the efficiency of three methods for calculating the ratio of the maximum to the average story drift in the response spectrum analyses. It should be noted that one of these methods is the approach used by current version of ETABS software andother ones are proposed in this paper. The obtained results using the proposed methods are compared with the time history analysis results. The comparisons show that one of these methods underestimates the mentioned ratio in all studied models, however, the other two methods have shown similar results. It is also found that the plan layouts and irregularities can affect how these methods estimate the ratios compared to those obtained by the time history analysis. Generally, it can be concluded that all of these methods can properly predict the ratio with acceptable errors.

The capacity spectrum method(CSM) can be used for the evaluation of inelastic maximum response of structures and has been recently used in the seismic design using the incorporation of pushover analysis and response spectrum method. To efficiently evaluate seismic performance of multi-degree-of freedom(MDOF) bridge structures, it is important that the equivalent response of MDOF bridge structures should be calculated. To calculate the equivalent response of MDOF system, equivalent responses are obtained by using Song method, Fajfar method and Calvi method. Also, those responses are applied to CSM method and seismic performance of bridge according to the ESDOF method are compared and evaluated straightforwardly.

잔교식 구조물은 상판을 말뚝 또는 기둥으로 지지하는 형식의 항만 구조물로서, 경사 말뚝을 설치하여 지진하중과 같은 수평하중을 부분적으로 축력으로 분담하도록 설계할 수 있다. 기준서에서는 잔교식 구조물 내진설계 시 예비 설계 방법으로 응답스펙트럼해석법을 활용하도록 설명하고 있으며, 응답스펙트럼 해석 시 말뚝을 가상고정점 방법 및 지반스프링 방법을 적용하여 모델링하도록 제시하고 있다. 최근 응답스펙트럼해석 시 구조물의 동적 응답을 적절히 모사하는 모델링 방법을 도출하기 위해 연직 말뚝으로 구성된 잔교식 구조물에 관한 몇몇 연구들이 수행되어 왔으나, 현재까지 경사말뚝이 적용된 잔교식 구조물에 대한 응답스펙트럼해석 관련 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 경사말뚝이 설치된 잔교식 구조물의 모델링 방법에 따른 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 동적원심모형실험과 더불어 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 실험 및 해석을 비교한 결과, 경사말뚝이 설치된 잔교식 구조물의 경우 실제 응답을 적절히 모사하기 위해 Terzaghi(1955)가 제시한 수평지반반력상수를 활용하여 모델링을 수행하는 것이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

Earthquake response calculation, parametric analysis and seismic parameter optimization of base-isolated structures are some critical issues for seismic design of base-isolated structures. To calculate the earthquake responses for such non-symmetric and non-classical damping linear systems and to implement the earthquake resistant design codes, a modified complex mode superposition design response spectrum method is put forward. Furthermore, to do parameter optimization for base-isolation structures, a graphical approach is proposed by analyzing the relationship between the base shear ratio of a seismic base-isolation floor to non-seismic base-isolation one and frequency ratio-damping ratio, as well as the relationship between the seismic base-isolation floor displacement and frequency ratio-damping ratio. In addition, the influences of mode number and site classification on the seismic base-isolation structure and corresponding optimum parameters are investigated. It is demonstrated that the modified complex mode superposition design response spectrum method is more precise and more convenient to engineering applications for utilizing the damping reduction factors and the design response spectrum, and the proposed graphical approach for parameter optimization of seismic base-isolation structures is compendious and feasible.

To evaluate seismic performance of reinforced concrete piers two procedures for capacity spectrum method are presented. The capacity spectrum procedures include the reduction factor-ductility-period($R_{\mu}-{\mu}-T$)relationship in order to construct the inelastic demand spectra from the elastic demand spectra. Application of the procedures are illustrated by example analysis. Maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the maximum displacements estimated by the procedures are, on overall, smaller than those by the inelastic time history analysis.

국내 내진설계 기준에서는 설계응답스펙트럼의 형태로서 내진성능 수준별 입력지진파를 제안하고 있다. 기준을 제정할 당시 실제 국내에서 발생했던 중규모 지진인 2016 경주지진과 2017 포항지진의 실 계측기록이 포함되지 못했으며, 지반응답해석을 위한 지반물성치는 표준관입시험 결과인 N치를 경험식에 대입하여 결정한 전단파속도 주상도를 사용하였다. 이는 국내 단층 특성 및 국내 지반특성에 대해 충분한 정보를 반영하지 못한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 계측 지진인 경주, 포항 지진기록을 암반지반 표준설계응답스펙트럼에 상응하게 수정하였고, 세종시 지역의 탄성파탐사로부터 결정된 전단파속도주상도를 사용하여 지반응답을 수행하였다. 지반응답해석으로부터 획득한 가속도응답스펙트럼과 설계응답스펙트럼의 형상을 지배하는 증폭계수를 기존 연구 및 내진설계 기준과 비교하였다.
