지진에 대한 구조물의 위험도를 해석하는 경우, 여러 위험 단계에 대한 구조물의 취약도를 확인할 필요가 있다. 그리고, 교량과 같은 구조물은 지진에 저항하는 능력을 가져야하므로, 지진 격리장치가 있는 경우와 없는 경우에 대해 지진에 대한 손상 해석을 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 지진의 영향으로 최대지반가속도(PGA), 최대지반속도(PGV), 스펙트럼가속도(SA), 스펙트럼속도(SV), 스펙트럼강도(SI) 등의 특성을 고려하여, 내진 능력을 확보하기 위하여 납면진 받침을 갖는 교량의 손상도 곡선을 구하고, 탄성계수의 변화에 따른 이들 손상도 곡선의 안정성을 평가하였다.

The fragility curves of seismic retrofitted bridges by steel jacketing of bridge columns and restrainers at expansion joints after the 1994 Northridge earthquake are developed. Fragility curves are represented by lognormal distribution functions with two parameters(fragility parameters consisting of median and log-standard deviation) and developed as a function of peak ground acceleration (PGA). Two parameters in the lognormal distribution are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. The sixty ground acceleration time histories for Los Angeles area developed for FEMA SAC project are used for the dynamic analysis of the bridges and a computer code is developed to calculate hysterestic parameters of bridge columns before and after steel jacketing. The effect of retrofit is expressed in terms of the increase of the median value of the fragility curve for the retrofitted bridge from that of the bridge before retrofit. The comparison of fragility curves of the bridges before and after column retrofit demonstrates that the improvement of the bridges with steel jacketing on the seismic performance is excellent for the damage states defined in this study. The comparison of fragility curves of the bridges before and after restrainers at expansion joints also shows the improvement in the seismic performance of restrained bridges for the severe damage states.

유연한 벽체를 가지면서 내용물이 일부분 저장된 수평원통형 저장탱크의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 지진취약도 해석을 수행하였다. 충격질량과 유연질량의 두 개의 집중질량을 갖는 등가의 간이모델로 저장탱크를 모델화하였으며, 이 모델의 유효성은 구조물-유체 상호작용을 고려한 3D 해석모델의 응답이력해석을 통해서 검증하였다. 이 등가의 간이모델에 대해서 양방향 지반운동에 대해 지진해석을 수행하였으며 종축방향과 직각방향에 대해 안정성과 관련한 지진취약도 곡선을 도출하였다. 그 결과 수평원통형 저장탱크는 직각방향에 대해서 지진 시 피해가 발생할 가능성이 큰 것으로 평가되었다.

Fragility as one of the most effective methods to evaluate seismic performance, which is greatly affected by damage index. Taking a multi span continuous rigid frame offshore bridge as an example. Based on fragility and reliability theory, considering coupling effect of time-varying durability damage of materials and time-varying attenuation effect of damage index to analyze seismic performance of offshore bridges. Results show that IDA curve considering time-varying damage index is obviously below that without considering; area enclosed by IDA of 1# pier and X-axis under No.1 earthquake considering this effect is 96% of that without considering. Area enclosed by damage index of 1# pier and X-axis under serious damage with considering time-varying damage index is 90% of that without considering in service period. Time-varying damage index has a greater impact on short pier when ground motion intensity is small, while it has a great impact on high pier when the intensity is large. The area enclosed by fragility of bridge system and X-axis under complete destruction considering time-varying damage index is 165% of that without considering when reach designed service life. Therefore, time-varying attenuation effect of damage index has a great impact on seismic performance of bridge in service period.

Unlike other facilities, maintaining processes is essential in industrial facilities. Pipe racks, which support pipes of various diameters, are important structures used in industrial facilities. Since the transport process of pipes directly affects the operation of industrial facilities, a fragility curve should be derived based on considering not only the pipe racks' structural safety but also the pipes' transport process. There are several studies where the fragility curves have been determined based on the structural behavior of pipe racks. However, few studies consider the damage criteria of pipes to ensure the transportation process, such as local buckling and tensile failure with surface defects. In this study, an analysis model of a typical straight pipe rack used in domestic industrial facilities is constructed, and incremental dynamic analysis using nonlinear response history analysis is performed to estimate the parameters of the fragility curve by the maximum likelihood estimation. In addition, the pipe rack's structural behavior and the pipe's damage criteria are considered the limit state for the fragility curve. The limit states considered in this paper to evaluate fragility curves are more reasonable to ensure the transportation process of the pipe systems.

The recent increase in earthquake activities has highlighted the importance of seismic performance evaluation for civil infrastructures. In particular, the container crane essential to maintaining the national logistics system with port operation requires an exact evaluation of its seismic response. Thus, this study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of container cranes considering their seismic characteristics. The seismic response of the container crane should account for the structural members' yielding and buckling, as well as the crane wheel's uplifting derailment in operation. The crane's yielding and buckling limit states were defined using the stress of crane members based on the load and displacement curve obtained from nonlinear static analysis. The derailment limit state was based on the height of the rail, and nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to obtain the seismic fragility curves considering defined limit states and seismic characteristics. The yield and derailment probabilities of the crane in the near-fault ground motion were approximately 1.5 to 4.7 and 2.8 to 6.8 times higher, respectively, than those in the far-fault ground motion.

The Korean peninsula has known as a minor-to-moderate seismic region. However, some recent studies had shown that the maximum possible earthquake magnitude in the region is approximately 6.3-6.5. Therefore, a seismic vulnerability assessment of the existing infrastructures considering ground motions in Korea is necessary. In this study, we developed seismic fragility curves for a continuous steel box girder bridge and two typical transmission towers, in which a set of seven artificial and natural ground motions recorded in South Korea is used. A finite element simulation framework, OpenSees, is utilized to perform nonlinear time history analyses of the bridge and a commercial software, SAP2000, is used to perform time history analyses of the transmission towers. The fragility curves based on Korean ground motions were then compared with the fragility curves generated using worldwide ground motions to evaluate the effect of the two ground motion groups on the seismic fragility curves of the structures. The results show that both non-isolated and base-isolated bridges are less vulnerable to the Korean ground motions than to worldwide earthquakes. Similarly to the bridge case, the transmission towers are safer during Korean motions than that under worldwide earthquakes in terms of fragility functions.

일반적으로 지진취약도를 평가할 때 사용되는 해석방법 중 하나인 역량스펙트럼 방법은 증분동적해석에 비해 해석의 정확성이 떨어지는 제한점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 증분동적해석이 가장 정확도가 높은 해석기법이라는 점에 착안하여 증분동적해석을 이용한 지진취약도 곡선의 도출과정을 제안하였다. 타당성 비교를 위하여 역량스펙트럼 방법과 제안된 방법으로 도출한 취약도 곡선을 비교하여 두 해석기법에 의한 지진취약도 곡선의 경향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Slight damage와 Moderate damage의 경우 두 해석방법이 유사한 곡선 경향을 보이나 Extensive damage와 Complete damage의 경우에는 IDA방법에 의한 곡선이 더 가파른 경향을 보였다. 이는 구조물의 거동을 이상화하여 극한점 이후 구조물의 저항 강도가 떨어지지 않는다고 가정하는 역량스펙트럼 방법의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.

This study presents the reliability-based analysis of nonlinear structures using the analytical fragility curves excited by random earthquake loads. The stochastic method of ground motion simulation is combined with the random vibration theory to compute structural failure probability. The formulation of structural failure probability using random vibration theory, based on only the frequency information of the excitation, provides an important basis for structural analysis in places where there is a lack of sufficient recorded ground motions. The importance of frequency content of ground motions on probability of structural failure is studied for different levels of the nonlinear behavior of structures. The set of simulated ground motion for this study is based on the results of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. It is demonstrated that the scenario events identified by the seismic risk differ from those obtained by the disaggregation of seismic hazard. The validity of the presented procedure is evaluated by Monte-Carlo simulation.
