The purpose of this study is to collect basic data which are prerequisite for quantitative analysis of coal logging data. The study involves laboratory measurements of physical properties such as seismic velocities (P,S-waves), resitivity and density of domestic and imported foreign coals. The relationships between these properties were analyzed by using cross-plots. Correlation between the physical properties of coal and the results of chemical analysis (calorie, fixed carbon, ash, moisture, volatile matter and sulfur contents) was also studied to obtain ideas about coal quality analysis using logging data. Summarized results are as follows: 1. $V_P$ is exponentialy related to $V_S$. And the average value of $V_P$ is about l.8 times as large as $V_S$. 2. Since coal has very low density compared with surrounding sedimentary rocks, density logging is appeared to be the best method for identifying coal seams and evaluating their qualities. 3. For the case of domestic coals, the ash contents and calorie show a perfect inverse relationship. Since the density increases as increase of ash content with a well-defined functional form, the ash content of domestic coals can be estimated by density measurements. 4. Because of low ash content, low density and high resistivity, foreign coals and domestic lignites are easily distinguished from domestic coals.

By using local earthquake data, the Korean crust model and travel-time tables were determined. The upper crustal earthquakes (Hongsung event and Ssanggyesa event) were considered as auxiliary information, and the lower crustal earthquakes (Uljin event and Pohang event) played an important role in determining model parameters. The possible existence of Low Velocity Layer (LVL) in the upper mantle was suggested by discrepancy in the arrival times of Sariwon earthquake which occurred below Moho discontinuity. Computer program for the determination of the model parameters was developed in order to screened out the optimum parameters by comparing the travel times of observed data with theoretical ones. We found that the discontinuities of Conrad, Moho, and upper and lower boundaries of LVL have their depth of 15, 32, 55 and 75 Km, respectively. The velocities of P-and S-wave in the layers between those discontinities were found to be (1) 5.98, 3.40 Km/sec (2) 6.38, 3.79 Km/sec (3) 7.95, 4.58 Km/sec (4) unknown (5) 8.73, 5.05 Km/sec, respectively from the top layer. Travel-time tables were also computed for the inter-local earthquakes which have their direct wave paths above the LVL.

Passive tuned mass dampers (TMDs) efficiently suppress vibrations induced by quasi-stationary dynamic inputs, such as winds, sea waves or traffic loads, but may prove of little use against pulse-like excitations, such as near-field (NF) ground motions. The extent of such impairment is however controversial, partly due to the different evaluation criteria adopted within the literature, partly to the limited number of seismic records used in most investigations. In this study, three classical techniques and two new variants for designing a TMD on an SDOF structure are tested under 338 NF records from the PEER NGA database, including 156 records with forward-directivity features. Percentile response reduction spectra are introduced to statistically assess TMD performance, and TMD robustness is verified through Monte Carlo simulations. The methodology is extended to a variety of MDOF bending-type and shear-type frames, and simulated on a case study building structure recently constructed in Central Italy.Results offer an interesting insight into the performance of TMDs against NF earthquakes, ultimately showing that, if properly designed and sufficiently massive, TMDs are effective and robust even in the face of pulse-like ground motions. The two newly proposed design techniques are shown to generally outperform the classical ones.

This paper presents results for impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of foundations in a layered half-space computed on the basis of a procedure that combines a consistent transmitting boundary with continued-fraction absorbing boundary conditions which are accurate and effective in modeling wave propagation in various unbounded domains. The effects of obliquely incident seismic waves in a layered half-space are taken into account in the formulation of the transmitting boundary. Using the numerical model, impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of rigid circular foundations on the surface of or embedded in a homogeneous half-space are computed and compared with available published results for verification of the procedure. Extrapolation methods are proposed to improve the performance in the very-low-frequency range and for the static condition. It is concluded from the applications that accurate analysis of foundation dynamics and soil-structure interaction in a layered half-space can be carried out using the enhanced consistent transmitting boundary and the proposed extrapolations.

In near-fault earthquake prone areas, the velocity pulse-like seismic waves often results in excessive horizontal displacement for structures, which may result in severe structural failure during large or near-fault earthquakes. The recently developed isolator-gap damper (IGD) systems provide a solution for the large horizontal displacement of long period base-isolated structures. However, the hysteresis characteristics of the IGD system are significantly different from the traditional hysteretic behavior. At present, the hysteretic behavior is difficult to be reflected in the structural analysis and performance evaluation especially under random earthquake excitations for lacking of effective analysis models which prevent the application of this kind of IGD system. In this paper, we propose a mathematical hysteretic model for the IGD system that presents its nonlinear hysteretic characteristics. The equivalent linearization is conducted on this nonlinear model, which requires the variances of the IGD responses. The covariance matrix for the responses of the structure and the IGD system is obtained for random earthquake excitations represented by the Kanai-Tajimi spectrum by solving the Lyapunov equation. The responses obtained by the equivalent linearization are verified in comparison with the nonlinear responses by the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) analysis for random earthquake excitations.

Under the effects of the near-field earthquakes, the incident angle of the incoming wave could be different. In this study, the influences of some parameters such as incident angle, basin edge, peak ground acceleration level of the bedrock motion as well as different clay types with different consistency on the amplification behavior of the shallow basins are investigated. To attain this goal, the numerical analyses of the basins filled with three different clay types are performed using a fully nonlinear method. The two dimensional models of the basins are subjected to a set of strong ground motions with different peak ground acceleration levels and three different incident angles of 30◦, 45◦ and 90◦ with respect to the horizontal axes. The results show the dominant effect of the obliquely subjected waves at most cases. The higher effect of the 45◦ incident angle on the basin response was concluded. In the other part of this study, the spectral amplification curves of the surface points were compared. It was seen that the maximum spectral amplification of different surface points occurs at different periods. Also, it is affected by the increase in the peak acceleration level of the incoming motions.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of the dynamic behavior of slope through both 1 g shaking table test and numerical analysis. Accelerometers were installed in the slope model with different types of seismic waves. The numerical analysis (ABAQUS and DEEPSOIL) was used to simulate 1 g shaking table test at infinite boundary. Similar Acceleration-time history, Spectral acceleration (SA) and Spectral acceleration amplification factor (Fa) were obtained, which verified the feasibility of modeling using ABAQUS and DEEPSOIL under the same size. The influence of the size (1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 times larger than that used in the 1 g shaking table test) of the model used in the numerical analysis were extensively investigated. According to the similitude law, ABAQUS was used to analyze the dynamic behavior of large-scale slope model. The 5% Damping Spectral acceleration (SA) and Spectral acceleration amplification factor (Fa) at the same proportional positions were compared. Based on the comparison of numerical analyses and 1 g shaking table tests, it was found that the 1 g shaking table test result can be utilized to predict the dynamic behavior of the real scale slope through numerical analysis.

최근 발생한 경주 및 포항지진은 한반도가 더 이상 지진으로부터 안전지대가 아님을 상기시키는 계기가 되었다. 그에 따라 내진설계에 대한 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 설계응답스펙트럼(design response spectrum)에 대한 연구 또한 많은 연구자들에 의해 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 현재 터널의 내진설계는 라이닝(Lining) 설치 완료 후 동적해석을 수행하여 안정성을 검토하는 과정으로 수행되어 시공 중에 지진 발생에 대한 고려는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단층파쇄대에 시공 중인 터널의 현장계측 결과를 이용하여 역해석을 수행한 후 지진파를 고려한 수치해석을 수행하여 그로 인한 1차 지보재(록볼트, 숏크리트)의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 지진파는 주기특성에 따라 단주기와 장주기로 구분하여 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과 지진의 주기 특성에 의한 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났으며, 터널 천단 변위(crown displacement)는 28~31%, 단층파쇄대에 접한 좌측부의 변위는 약 14~16% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 기반암과 접하고 있는 우측부의 경우 약 13~27%가량 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 숏크리트의 경우, 지진하중 고려에 따라 천단부에서의 축력이 약 113~115% 증가하였으며, 단층파쇄대와 접하고 있는 좌측부의 경우 102%, 기반암과 접하고 있는 우측부의 경우 106~110%가량 증가하는 것으로 각각 나타났다. 록볼트는 천단부, 좌측부, 우측부에서 정착지반이 단층파쇄대, 단층파쇄대와 기반암, 기반암인 경우로 선정하여 변위와 축력을 분석하였으며, 단층파쇄대와 기반암에 동시에 정착되어 있는 록볼트의 변위 및 축력이 지진으로부터 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났다.

연구목적: 지진하중을 받는 교량 구조물의 동적 거동은 지진파의 특성 혹은 재료 및 기하학적 특성과 같은 많은 불확실성에 영향을 받는다. 하지만 모든 불확실성 인자가 교량 구조물의 동적 거동에 중요한 영향을 미치진 않는다. 영향성이 낮은 불확실성 인자까지 고려한 확률론적 내진성능 평가는 많은 계산비용이 요구되기 때문에 교량의 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 불확실성 인자는 식별되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 I형 곡선 거더를 갖는 단경간 교량의 동적 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 매개변수를 식별하기 위해 전역민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구방법: 지진파의 불확실성과 곡선 교량의 재료 및 기하학적 불확실성을 고려하여 유한요소 해석을 수행하였으며 해석결과를 기반으로 대리모델을 작성하였다. 결정계수와 같은 성능평가지료를 이용하여 대리모델을 평가하였으며 최종적으로 대리모델 기반의 전역 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과: 지진하중을 받는 I형 곡선 거더의 응력응답에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 불확실성 인자는 최대지반가속도(PGA), 교각의 높이(h), 강재의 항복응력(fy) 순으로 나타났다. PGA, h, fy의 주효과 민감도 지수는 각각 0.7096, 0.0839, 0.0352로 나타났으며 총 민감도 지수는 각각 0.9459, 0.1297, 0.0678로 나타났다. 결론: I형 곡선 거더의 응력응답은 입력운동의 불확실성에 대한 영향성이 지배적이며 각 불확실성 인자 사이의 교호작용에 큰 영향을 받는다. 따라서 입력운동의 개수 및 intensity measure과 같은 입력운동의 불확실성에 대한 추가적인 민감도 분석과 곡선거더의 개수 및 곡률과 같은 구조적 불확실성까지 고려한 총 민감도 분석은 필요하다.
