유체-구조물-지반 상호작용을 고려한 액체저장탱크의 유한요소 모형을 제시하고, 비선형 지진응답 해석기법을 정식화한다. 탱크 구조물은 기하 및 재료 비선형 거동을 고려할 수 있는 쉘 요소로 모델링한다. 유체의 거동은 acoustic 요소로 구현하고, interface 요소를 사용하여 구조물과 결합한다. 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하기 위해 지반의 근역과 원역을 각각 solid 요소와 perfectly matched discrete layer로 모델링한다. 예제 20만 kl급 액체저장탱크의 지진취약도 해석에 적용하여, 유연한 지반에 구조물이 놓인 경우 부지에서의 암반노두운동의 증폭 및 필터링으로 인해 지진취약도의 중앙값과 대수 표준편차가 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다.

This paper presents results from a study to extend a performance-based shearwall selection procedure to take into account the contributions of nonstructural finish materials (such as stucco and gypsum wallboard), construction quality issues, and their effects on the displacement performance of engineered wood shearwalls subject to seismic loading. Shearwall performance is evaluated in terms of peak displacements under seismic loading (characterized by a suite of ordinary ground motion records) considering different combinations of performance levels (drift limits) and seismic hazard. Shearwalls are analyzed using nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis with global assembly hysteretic parameters determined by fitting to actual shearwall test data. Peak displacement distributions, determined from sets of analyses using each of the ground motion records taken to characterize the seismic hazard, are postprocessed into performance curves, design charts, and fragility curves which can be used for risk-based design and assessment applications.

Studies on the application of the lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolation system to nuclear power plants are being carried out as one of the measures to improve seismic performance. Nuclear power plants with isolation systems require seismic probabilistic safety assessments, for which the seismic fragility of the structures, systems, and components needs be calculated, including for beyond design basis earthquakes. To this end, seismic response analyses are required, where it can be seen that the behaviors of the isolation system components govern the overall seismic response of an isolated plant. The numerical model of the LRB used in these seismic response analyses plays an important role, but in most cases, the extreme performance of the LRB has not been well studied. The current work therefore develops an extreme nonlinear numerical model that can express the seismic response of the LRB for beyond design basis earthquakes. A full-scale LRB was fabricated and dynamically tested with various input conditions, and test results confirmed that the developed numerical model better represents the behavior of the LRB over previous models. Subsequent seismic response analyses of isolated nuclear power plants using the model developed here are expected to provide more accurate results for seismic probabilistic safety assessments.

방파제 구조물에 대한 기존의 내진설계 및 내진성능검토에서는 주로 설계지진에 대하여 구조물의 변위 및 응력을 검토함으로써 지진 안전성을 평가한다. 그러나 이러한 검토가 주로 결정론적 접근방법에 의한 것으로 지진의 가장 큰 특성이라 할 수 있는 불확실성을 제대로 반영하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 지진발생과 지반계수의 화률론적 분포 특성을 고려한 확률론적 지진위험도 평가에 대해 연구하였다. 우선 항만구조물의 지진에 대한 구조적 취약성을 다수의 지진자료를 이용하여 평가하였고, 지진재해지도를 이용하여 해당 지역에서의 지진재해도를 산정하였으며, 이들을 조합함으로써 방파제 구조물의 확률론적 지진위험도를 평가하였다.

Power transmission substations are susceptible to potential damage under seismic excitations. Two of the major seismic failure modes in substation supplies are: the breakage of brittle insulator, and conductor end fittings. This paper presents efficient isolation strategies for seismically strengthening of a two-item set of equipment including capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) adjacent to a Lightning Arrester (LA). Two different strategies are proposed, Case A: implementation of base isolation at the base of the CVT, while the LA is kept fixed-base, and Case B: implementation of base isolation at the base of the LA, while the CVT is kept fixed-base. Both CVT and LA are connected to each other using a cable during the dynamic excitation. The probabilistic seismic behavior is measured by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA), and a series of appropriate damage states are proposed. Finally, the fragility curves are derived for both the systems. It is found that Friction Pendulum System (FPS) isolator has the potential of decreasing flexural stresses caused by intense ground motions. The research has shown that when the FPS is placed under LA, i.e. Case B (as oppose to Case A), the efficiency of the system is improved in terms of reducing the forces and stresses at the bottom of the porcelain. Several parametric studies are also performed to determine the optimum physical properties of the FPS.

본 연구에서는 항만 지역의 지반 조건과 계측된 암반노두 가속도를 이용하여 지반증폭 특성이 반영된 지진피해평가 방안을 구축하였다. 먼저 지반조사 자료를 토대로 부지응답해석을 수행하여 항만지역의 암반노두 가속도와 지표면 최대가속도의 상관관계식을 결정한다. 결정된 대상 항만의 상관관계식은 지진피해평가 시스템 상에 DB화 되고, 지진 발생 시 계측된 암반노두 가속도를 입력받아 실시간으로 지표면 최대가속도를 결정한다. 지진 발생 시 실시간으로 결정되는 PGA 값과 상부 구조물의 지진취약도 함수를 이용하여 항만구조물의 지진피해 등급을 결정할 수 있다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 구축된 평가 방안에 따라 가상 지진을 적용하여 인천항만 지역 내 항만 구조물의 지진 피해를 추정하고 등급화 하였다.

국내의 사회기반시설물인 교량이나 댐, 원전에 대한 내진 연구는 일찍부터 활발한 연구가 진행되어왔지만 화력발전소 구조물의 경우 사회적 중요성에 비해 지진에 대한 안전성 평가기술에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 16개의 실제 발생한 지진파와 12개의 PGA에 대해 총 192회의 동적해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 콘크리트의 압축강도와 연돌 구조물의 상대변위의 경우 적용한 지진파별로 PGA값이 증가함에 따라서 파괴확률이 증가하는 양상을 보여주었지만 지진파 별로 상이하였다. 이는 연돌의 고유치 해석 결과 주된 모드와 유사한 장주기 성분이 많은 지진파에서는 취약하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 바탕으로 취약도 곡선을 도출하여 우리나라 지역계수 0.22G를 기준으로 분석한 결과 콘크리트 압축이 한계상태에 도달한 비율은 25%이고 상대 변위가 한계상태에 도달한 비율은 13%이다. 따라서 지진이 발생했을 경우 상대 변위에 의해 붕괴될 확률보다 압축파괴에 의한 붕괴 확률이 높다. 이에 본 연구대상인 연돌에 대한 취약도 곡선은 지진이 발생했을 때 대상 구조물에 대한 한계상태를 판별하는 정량적 근거가 되고 화력발전 연돌 구조물의 지진에 대한 안전설계시 활용될 수 있다.

This study investigated the seismic performance of a hybrid damper composed of a steel slit plate and friction pads, and an optimum retrofit scheme was developed based on life cycle cost. A sample hybrid damper was tested under cyclic loading to confirm its validity as a damping device and to construct its nonlinear analysis model. The effectiveness of the optimum damper distribution schemes was investigated by comparing the seismic fragility and the life cycle costs of the model structure before and after the retrofit. The test results showed that the damper behaved stably throughout the loading history. Numerical analysis results showed that the slit-friction hybrid dampers optimally distributed based on life cycle cost proved to be effective in minimizing the failure probability and the repair cost after earthquakes.

Past studies have shown that the aspect ratio (width-to-height) of a steel plate shear wall (SPSW) can significantly affect its seismic response. SPSWs with lower aspect ratio (narrow SPSW) may experience low lateral stiffness and flexure dominated drift response. As the height of the frame increases, the narrow SPSWs prove to be uneconomical and demonstrate inferior seismic response than their wider counterparts. Moreover, the thicker web plates required for narrow SPSWs exerts high inward pull on the VBEs. The present study suggests the limiting values of the aspect ratio for an SPSW system by evaluating the seismic collapse performance of 3-, 6- and 9-story SPSW systems using FEMA P695 methodology. For this purpose, nonlinear models are developed. These models are validated with the past quasi-static experimental results. Non-linear static analyses and Incremental dynamic analyses are then carried. The results are then utilized to conservatively suggest the limiting values of aspect ratios for SPSW system. In addition to the conventional-SPSW (Conv-SPSW), the collapse performance of staggered-SPSW (S-SPSW) is also explored. Its performance is compared with the Conv-SPSW and the use of S-SPSW is suggested in the cases where SPSW with lower than recommended aspect ratio is desired.

The seismic performance of steel frames equipped with a particular type of bending dissipative braces (BDBs) having U elements, which has recently been introduced and tested by the authors, is investigated. For this purpose, two structural systems, i.e., simple and dual steel building frames, both with diagonal BDBs and different number of stories, are considered. After providing a design method of this new BDB, the detailed structural models are developed in the OpenSees platform to perform nonlinear dynamic analyses. Seismic performance factors like ductility, overstrength, response modification and deflection amplification factors are calculated using incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). In addition, to assess the damage probability of the structural models, their seismic fragilities are developed. The results show high energy dissipation capacity of both structural systems while the number of U elements needed for the bracing system of each story in the moment frames are less than those in the corresponding non-moment (simple) frames. The average response modification and deflection amplification factors for both structural schemes are obtained about 8.6 and 5.4, respectively, which are slightly larger than the corresponding recommended values of ASCE for the typical buckling-restrained braces (BRBs).
