다성분 탄성파 자료의 신호/잡음비를 높이기 위한 방법의 일환으로 다성분 복소트레이스 분석법을 이용한 분극필터를 개발하였다. 이 필터는 기존의 방법과는 달리, 실체파 신호의 수평/수직 진폭비와 레일리파 타원율을 이용하여 각 시간 샘플의 선형 및 타원형 성분이 정량적으로 계산되며 낮은 신호/잡음비에도 이상적으로 작동하는 특징이 있다. 합성파 뿐만 아니라 실제 자료에 적용시킨 결과, 기존 분극필터보다 타원형 입자운동의 레일리파가 잘 제거되어 선형의 P파 및 S파 신호를 효과적으로 인지할 수 있음을 보인다.

The concept of performance based seismic design has been gradually accepted by the earthquake engineering profession recently, in which the cost-effectiveness criterion is one of the most important principles and more attention is paid to the structural performance at the inelastic stage. Since there are many uncertainties in seismic design, reliability analysis is a major task in performance based seismic design. However, structural reliability analysis may be very costly and time consuming because the limit state function is usually a highly nonlinear implicit function with respect to the basic design variables, especially for the complex large-scale structures for dynamic and nonlinear analysis. Understanding statistical properties of the structural inelastic deformation, which is the aim of the present paper, is helpful to develop an efficient approximate approach of reliability analysis. The present paper studies the statistical properties of the maximum elastoplastic story drift of steel frames subjected to earthquake load. The randomness of earthquake load, dead load, live load, steel elastic modulus, yield strength and structural member dimensions are considered. Possible probability distributions for the maximum story are evaluated using K-S test. The results show that the choice of the probability distribution for the maximum elastoplastic story drift of steel frames is related to the mean value of the maximum elastoplastic story drift. When the mean drift is small (less than 0.3%), an extreme value type I distribution is the best choice. However, for large drifts (more than 0.35%), an extreme value type II distribution is best.

The Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) based seismic fragility analysis (SFA) approach allows defining more realistic relationship between failure probability and seismic intensity. However, the approach requires simulating large number of nonlinear dynamic analyses of structure for reliable estimate of fragility. It makes the approach computationally challenging. The response surface method (RSM) based metamodeling approach which replaces computationally involve complex mechanical model of a structure is found to be a viable alternative in this regard. An adaptive moving least squares method (MLSM) based RSM in the MCS framework is explored in the present study for efficient SFA of existing structures. In doing so, the repetition of seismic intensity for complete generation of fragility curve is avoided by including this as one of the predictors in the response estimate model. The proposed procedure is elucidated by considering a non-linear SDOF system and an existing reinforced concrete frame considered to be located in the Guwahati City of the Northeast region of India. The fragility results are obtained by the usual least squares based and the proposed MLSM based RSM and compared with that of obtained by the direct MCS technique to study the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, cable-stayed bridges with single pylon and two equal side spans, with variations in geometry and span ranging from 120 m to 240 m have been studied. 3D models of the bridges considered in this study have been analysed using ANSYS. As the first step towards a detailed seismic analysis, free vibration response of different geometries is studied for their mode shapes and frequencies. Typical pattern of free vibration responses in different frequencies with change in geometry is observed. Further, three different seismic loading histories are chosen with various characteristics to find the structural response of different geometries under seismic loading. Effect of variation in pylon shape, cable arrangement with variation in span is found to have typical characteristics with different structural response under seismic loading. From the study, it is observed that the structural response is very much dependent on the geometry of the cable-stayed bridge and the characteristics of the seismic loading as well. Further, structural responses obtained from the study would help the design engineers to take decisions on geometric shapes of the bridges to be constructed in seismic prone zones.

For a given structural geometry, the stiffness and damping parameters of the soil and the dynamic response of the structure may change in the face of an equivalent linear soil behavior caused by a strong earthquake. Therefore, the influence of equivalent linear soil behavior on the impedance functions form and the seismic response of the soil-structure system has been investigated. Through the substructure method, the seismic response of the selected structure was obtained by an analytical formulation based on the dynamic equilibrium of the soil-structure system modeled by an analog model with three degrees of freedom. Also, the dynamic response of the soil-structure system for a nonlinear soil behavior and for the two types of impedance function forms was also analyzed by 2D finite element modeling using ABAQUS software. The numerical results were compared with those of the analytical solution. After the investigation, the effect of soil nonlinearity clearly showed the critical role of soil stiffness loss under strong shaking, which is more complex than the linear elastic soil behavior, where the energy dissipation depends on the seismic motion amplitude and its frequency, the impedance function types, the shear modulus reduction and the damping increase. Excellent agreement between finite element analysis and analytical results has been obtained due to the reasonable representation of the model.

With the booming of construction and property industries in China, the demand for high-rises and mega-scale buildings with more integrated building functions, open- and tailor-shaped outlooks, better connections to municipal infrastructures, and higher grades of building importance has been increasing in the past two decades. The seismic design and engineering of such modern mega-buildings face engineering challenges such as hazard mitigation of extreme actions and surroundings, integrated structural frameworks and building skins, complex connections, and overall construction efficiency. It is the work of a new generation of civil and structural engineers to enhance engineering efficiency and achieve overall engineering, environmental, and economical effectiveness for these high-rise projects. This paper elaborates the above topics through case studies on the design and construction of four such developments in China. Some rethinking is conducted on evolution in modern seismic engineering and design through innovation to achieve an acceptable level of overall sustainability and building effectiveness.

Digital simulation has recently become the preferred method for designing complex and dynamic systems. Simulation packages provide interactive, block-diagram environment for modeling and simulating dynamic models. The block diagrams in simulation models are flowcharts which describe the components of dynamic systems and their interaction. This paper is the first part of the study for determining the seismic behavior of soil systems. The aim of this part is to present the constructed block diagrams for discrete-time analysis of seismic site amplification in layered media for vertically propagating shear waves. Detailed block diagrams are constructed for single and multiple soil layers by considering wave propagation with and without damping, respectively. The block diagrams for recursive filter to model attenuation in discrete-time form are also constructed. Finite difference method is used for strain calculation. The block diagrams are developed by utilizing Simulink which is a software add-on to Matlab.

In general, the laminated rubber bearing (LRB), a composite structure laminated with the elastic rubber and steel plates, has a complex hysteretic nonlinear characteristics in relationships between the restoring force and shear deflection. The representative nonlinear characteristics of LRB include the change of hysteresis loop with cyclic shear deflections and the hardening effects at large shear deflection regions. Changes of the hysteresis loop of LRB with cyclic shear deflections affect the horizontal stiffness and the damping characteristics. The hardening behavior of LRB in large shear deflection region results in an increased horizontal stiffness and therefore, has a great impacton the seismic responses. In this paper, the seismic response analysis is carried out using the modified hysteretic bi-linear model of LRB, which takes into account the hysteresis loop change and the hardening behavior with cyclic shear deflection. The results on seismic responses are compared with those obtained using the widely used hysteretic hi-linear model. The new model is found to reveal the greater amount of peak acceleration response.

성능기반 내진 설계방법의 설계철학을 가지고 있는 비선형 정적 해석법(NSPs)은 최근 구조물의 지진해석방법으로서 그 사용성을 인정받고 있다. 비선형 정적 해석법을 통한 지진해석은 기존의 비선형 시간 이력법에 비해서 방법이 간단하며, 직관적으로 구조물의 지진해석을 수행할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 빌딩구조물의 지진해석법으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 기본 진동모드에 의해서 구조물의 거동이 지배되지 않는 구조물의 경우에는 그 사용성에 대한 연구가 매우 제한적이다. 이를 개선하기 위한 고차모드의 기여분을 반영할 수 있는 비선형 정적 해석법으로 모드별 비탄성 정적해석법(Modal Pushover Analysis; MPA)이 제시되었고, 또한 이를 개선한 개선된 모드별 비탄성 정적해석법(Improved Modal Pushover Analysis; IMPA) 역시 소개되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 소개된 네가지 비선형 정적 해석법을 이용하여 국내에 설계/시공된 두 사장교의 지진해석 가능성을 알아보며, 각 방법의 장/단점을 분석 하여 비선형 정적 해석법의 응용가능성에 대해서 알아보았다.

비선형동적해석을 통하여 RC 입체라멘교에 대한 지진거동특성 및 파괴메카니즘에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 파이버모델에 기초한 RC 프레임요소를 교각에 도입하여 3차원영역에서 모델링하여 비선형동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 정확성을 향상시키기 위하여 균열 진전후 콘크리트와 철근의 부작특성에 의한 재료역학적 특성차이를 고려하기 위하여 파이버는 철근영역(RC zone)과 무근영역(PC zone)으로 영역화하였다. 대상교량은 관성력 중심위치와 교량의 강성중심 위치가 일치하지 않아 비틀림을 동반한 복잡한 지진거동특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 거동특성에 의하여 유연한 교각 옆에 위치하는 상대적 강성이 큰 교각에 과다한 지진하중이 집중되어 파괴에 이르는 것으로 나타났다.
