In this study, it has been tried to prepare an analytical fragility curves for isolated straight continues highway bridges by considering different spectral intensity measures. A three-span concrete isolated bridge has been selected and the seismic performance of the bridge has been improved by Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB). Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is applied to the bridge in longitudinal direction. A suite of 14 earthquake ground motions from medium to sever motions are scaled and used for nonlinear time history analysis. Fragility function considers the relationship of earthquake intensity measures (IM) and probability of exceeding certain Damage State (DS). A full three dimensional finite element model of the isolated bridge has been developed and analyzed. A wide range of different intensity measures are selected and the optimal intensity measure which has the less dispersion is proposed.

This article examines the seismic vulnerability of soil nail wall structures. Detailed information regarding finite element modeling has been provided. The fragility function evaluates the relationship between ground motion intensities and the probability of surpassing a specific level of damage. The use of incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) has been applied to the soil nail wall against low to severe ground motions. In the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the soil nail wall, a set of twenty seismic ground motions with varying PGA ranges are used. The numerical results demonstrate that the soil-nailed wall reaction is extremely sensitive to earthquake ground vibrations under different intensity measures (IM). In addition, the analytical fragility curve is provided for various intensity values.

최근 1995년 일본의 고베 및 1999년도에 터키와 대만 등지에서 일어난 강진으로 많은 사상자와 피해가 발생되었고 일본 및 대만의 경우 일부 댐의 피해가 발생되었다. 댐의 경우 지진 발생시 국부적인 구조물의 손상뿐만 아니라 주변 주거지역에 많은 인명피해를 유발하기 때문에 국내에서도 내진설계기준 강화 이전의 콘크리트 중력식 댐에 대한 내진 안전성 평가의 필요성을 인식하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 미국, 일본 및 캐나다의 내진설계기준 및 안전성 평가기법을 분석하여 국내 실정에 적합한 내진 안전성 평가 지침을 마련하였다. 평가단계는 제3단계로 구성하였다. 제1단계는 기초 문헌자료를 이용한 내진 안전성 평가 필요여부를 구분하는 예비평가단계이며 제2단계 평가는 진도법을 적용한 유사정적해석을 수행하여 성능기준 만족여부를 판단한다. 제3단계 평가는 제2단계를 만족하지 못하였을 경우 대상구조물에 동적해석을 적용하여 정밀한 평가를 수행한 후 성능기준을 평가한다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 운영중인 콘크리트 중력식 댐을 선정하여 본 평가 방법을 적용하였다.

In reality, masonry infill modifies the seismic response of reinforced concrete (r.c.) frame structures by increasing the overall rigidity of structure which results in: increasing of total seismic load value, decreasing of deformations and period of vibration, therefore masonry infill frame structures have larger capacity of absorbing and dissipating seismic energy. The aim of the paper is to explore and assess actual influence of masonry infill on seismic response of r.c. frame structures, to determine whether it's justified to disregard masonry infill influence and to determine appropriate way to consider infill influence by design. This was done by modeling different structures, bare frame structures as well as masonry infill frame structures, while varying masonry infill to r.c. frame stiffness ratio and seismic intensity. Further resistance envelope for those models were created and compared. Different structures analysis have shown that the seismic action on infilled r.c. frame structure is almost always twice as much as seismic action on the same structure with bare r.c. frames, regardless of the seismic intensity. Comparing different models resistance envelopes has shown that, in case of lower stiffness r.c. frame structure, masonry infill (both lower and higher stiffness) increased its lateral load capacity, in average, two times, but in case of higher stiffness r.c. frame structures, influence of masonry infill on lateral load capacity is insignificant. After all, it is to conclude that the optimal structure type depends on its exposure to seismic action and its masonry infill to r.c. frame stiffness ratio.

Several seismic design standards for fill dams adopted in Japan USA and Korea are reviewed in this study. The review on those standards is tried to provide a thinking way for a new seismic design standard which is urgently requested by the government I. e. the Ministry of Construction & Transportation and the Ministry of Science & Techniology. This study suggest that as a new seismic design standard of fill dam including concrete face rockfill dam(CFRD) the modified earthquake intensity method based on dynamic analysis be adopted in Korea while the dynamic analysis method should be used in evaluatiing the performance of fill dams precisely.

This study proposed the Probability Density Function (PDF) interpolation technique to evaluate the seismic fragility curves as a function of the return period. Seismic fragility curves have been developed as a function of seismic intensities such as peak ground acceleration, peak pound velocity, and pseudo-velocity spectrum. The return period of design earthquakes, however, can be more useful among those seismic intensity measurements, because the seismic hazard curves are generally represented with a return period of design earthquakes and the seismic design codes also require to consider the return period of design earthquake spectrum for a specific site. In this respect the PDF interpolation technique is proposed to evaluate the seismic fragility curves as a function of return period. Seismic fragility curves based on the return period are compared with ones based on the peak ground acceleration for the bridge model.

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.

MM진도(Modified Mercalli Intensity) V이상의 한반도 지진자료에 의거하여 서울 수도권일원 $(위도 37.0^{circ}~37.8^{circ} N, 경도 126.5^{circ}~127.5^{circ} E)$ 의 확률론적인 지진위험도가 점지진원방법에 의해 추정되었다. 전지진자료를 이용하여 추정된 지진위험도는 비교적 완전하다고 여겨지는 조선시대이후의 지진자료를 이용하여 추정된 지진위험도보다 더 낮다고 추정되었다. 수평지반가속도 0.1g 이상의 파괴적인 지진은 90% 초과확률로서 전지진자료와 조선시대이후의 지진자료가 이용되었을 때 각각 500년과 200년 기간에 발생한다.

한반도 남쪽 경계 부근에 위치한 지리산 내의 불교 사찰인 쌍계사에서 1936년 7월 4일 규모 5.0의 지진이 발생하였다. 이 지진으로 인하여 쌍계사 경내 건축물과 구조물이 심각한 피해를 입었으며, 특히 지진시 사찰 내 오층 석탑의 탑두가 전도하여 추락하였다. 이 지진 피해 사례는 역사 지진 발생 이외의 강진 기록이 전무한 중진 지역의 한반도에서의 지반 운동 세기 평가에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 쌍계사 부지에서의 국부적 부지 효과 및 그에 따른 지반 운동을 평가하기 위하여, 시추와 크로스홀 및 SASW 시험과 같은 현장 탄성파 시험으로 구성된 종합적인 지반 조사를 사찰 경내에서 수행하였다. 조사된 지반 특성을 토대로, 다양한 지진파를 적용한 부지고유 지진 응답 해석을 0.044g부터 0.220g 범위의 여섯 가지 입력 암반 노두 가속도 수준으로 대표적 쌍계사 부지에 대해 일차원 등가선형 및 비선형 기법을 적용하여 실시하였다. 부지고유 지진 응답 결과로부터 쌍계사의 부지 주기 부근의 단주기 영역에서 증폭된 지반 운동을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구의 부지 응답 해석 결과와 선행 연구의 석탑 실물 크기 지진 시험 결과를 비교 분석하여 1936년 지리산 지진의 암반 노두 지진 세기를 평가하였다.

In this study the seismic risk assessments of six- and twelve-story staggered wall system structures with three different structural variations were performed. The performances of staggered wall structures with added columns along the central corridor and the structures with their first story walls replaced by beams and columns were compared with those of the regular staggered wall structures. To this end incremental dynamic analyses were carried out using twenty two pairs of earthquake records to obtain the failure probabilities for various intensity of seismic load. The seismic risk for each damage state was computed based on the fragility analysis results and the probability of occurrence of earthquake ground motions. According to the analysis results, it was observed that the structures with added columns along the central corridor showed lowest probability of failure and seismic risk. The structures with their first story walls replaced by beams and columns showed lowest margin for safety.
