This study proposes a new shape memory alloy-tuned mass damper (SMA-TMD) and investigates the effectiveness of this damper in reducing and controlling the vibrations of a transmission tower-line system under various seismic excitations. Based on a practical transmission line system and considering the geometric nonlinearity of this system, the finite element (FE) software ANSYS is used to create an FE model of the transmission tower-line system and simulate the proposed SMA-TMD. Additionally, the parameters of the SMA springs are optimized. The effectiveness of a conventional TMD and the proposed SMA-TMD in reducing and controlling the vibrations of the transmission tower-line system under seismic excitations is investigated. Moreover, the effects of the ground motion intensity and frequency ratio on the reduction ratio (η) of the SMA-TMD are studied. The vibration reduction effect of the SMA-TMD under various seismic excitations is superior to that of the conventional TMD. Changes in the ground motion intensity and frequency ratio have a significant impact on the η of the SMA-TMD. As the ground motion intensity and frequency ratio increase, the η values of the SMA-TMD first increase and then decrease. Studying the vibration reduction effects of the SMA-TMD can provide a reference for the practical engineering application of this damper.

전기 장비와 같은 비구조적 요소는 다양한 제반 시설에서 적절한 기능을 수행하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 특정 시설에서 이러한 비구조적 요소 중 일부는 강한 지진 발생이 발생한다고 하더라고 계속적으로 작동해야 한다. 그러나 다양한 이유 중 지진 진동의 불확실성과 전기 장비와 같은 비구조적 요소의 다양성 때문에 지진 진동의 영향으로 인한 각 기계적 손상과 작동 상의 손상을 정의하는 것과 시스템 손상 확률을 결정하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 따라서 비구조적 요소의 특성과 지진의 변화를 고려한 전기 장비의 성능 평가를 위한, 실용이고 효과적인 확률 모델을 개발할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 비구조적 요소의 동적 거동과 비구조적 요소를 구조물에 구속 시키는 구속 장치의 선형 거동 및 비선형 거동에 대한 이해를 향상 시킬 것이다. 또한, 이 연구는 폭넓고 새로운 지진 강도를 위한 구속된 비구조적 요소의 확률론적 내진 응답 모델을 생성할 것이다.

In recent years, selection of strong ground motion records by means of intensity measures representing the spectral shape of the earthquake excitation has been studied by many researchers. These studies indicate the adequacy of this record selection approach in reduction of the scattering of seismic responses. In present study, this method has been studied more in depth to reveal the sufficiency of the spectral shape in predicting structural seismic responses such as the plastic deformation and the dissipated hysteresis energy which are associated with cumulative properties of the selected records. For this purpose, after selecting the records based on the spectral shape, the correlation of some seismic responses and strong ground motion duration of earthquake records are explored. Findings indicate strong correlation of some structural responses with the significant duration of the records. This fact implies that the spectral shape could not reflect all characteristics of the strong ground motion and emphasizes the importance of additional criteria along with the spectral shape in the record selection.

This study investigates ground motion parameters and their damage potential for building type structures. It focuses on low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings that are important portion of the existing building stock under seismic risk in many countries. Correlations of 19 parameters of 466 earthquake records with nonlinear displacement demands of 1056 Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) systems are investigated. Properties of SDOF systems are established to represent RC building construction practice. The correlation of damage and ground motion characteristics is examined with respect to number of story and site classes. Equations for average nonlinear displacement demands of considered RC buildings are given for some of the ground motion parameters. Velocity related parameters are generally found to have better results than the acceleration, displacement and frequency related ones. Correlation of the parameters may be expected to decrease with increasing intensity of seismic event. Velocity Spectrum Intensity and Peak Ground Velocity have been found to have the highest correlation values for almost all site classes and number of story groups. Common parameter of Peak Ground Acceleration has lower correlation with damage when compared to them and some other parameters like Effective Design Acceleration and Characteristic Intensity.

최근 발생한 경주지진('16.9.12., $M_L=5.8$) 및 포항지진('17.11.15., $M_L=5.4$)에서 국내의 설계지반운동 수준을 초과하는 진동이 관측되었으며 이를 계기로 설계지반운동이 일부 내진설계지침서에서 개정되었다. 설계지반운동이 조정되면 관련된 모든 시설물의 내진성능을 재평가해야 하며 이를 위해서는 막대한 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 조정된 설계지반운동기준에 대한 기설된 콘크리트 옹벽의 내진성능 확보 여부를 평가하였으며 이차적으로 콘크리트 옹벽의 지진여유도를 평가하였다. 변전소 주변에 기설된 콘크리트 옹벽 단면과 지반주상도를 사용하였으며 지진에 대한 안전율은 유사정적해석법을 사용하여 계산하였다. 평가에 사용된 모든 옹벽은 조정된 설계지반운동에 대해서 충분한 성능을 확보하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가 옹벽의 지진여유도를 평가하기 위하여 기준 안전율을 만족하지 못하는 임계가속도를 계산하였다. 임계가속도는 0.36g~0.8g 범위로 설계지반운동을 크게 상회하며 콘크리트 옹벽의 지진여유도는 매우 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 추후 설계지반운동이 0.3g 이상으로 상향조정되어도 옹벽의 전면적인 재평가는 불필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A technique for the seismic reliability evaluation of electric power transmission systems(EPTS) adapted to ground motion characteristics of Korea has been developed to evaluate reliability indices corresponding to the whole system and to each node within. A network model with nodes and links for EPTS has been established, and a seismic substation-fragility curve obtained from seismic fragilities of power system facilities has been derived. A point source model, the doubly truncated Gutenberg-Richter relationship, and earthquake intensity attenuation formula have been applied to simulate seismic events. Using Monte-Carlo simulation method, the seismic reliability of EPTS is evaluated and, it appeared that seismic effect on EPTS in low and moderate seismicity regions has to be considered.

Seismic vulnerability assessment is a useful tool for rational safety analysis and planning of large and complex structural systems; it can deal with the effects of uncertainties on the performance of significant structural systems. In this study, an efficient dynamic reliability approach, probability density evolution methodology (PDEM), is proposed for seismic vulnerability analysis of earth dams. The PDEM provides the failure probability of different limit states for various levels of ground motion intensity as well as the mean value, standard deviation and probability density function of the performance metric of the earth dam. Combining the seismic reliability with three different performance levels related to the displacement of the earth dam, the seismic fragility curves are constructed without them being limited to a specific functional form. Furthermore, considering the seismic fragility analysis is a significant procedure in the seismic probabilistic risk assessment of structures, the seismic vulnerability results obtained by the dynamic reliability approach are combined with the results of probabilistic seismic hazard and seismic loss analysis to present and address the PDEM-based seismic probabilistic risk assessment framework by a simulated case study of an earth dam.

To improve the reliability of seismic hazard assessment of historic earthquake, shaking table test of a 1/2 scale model of wood house with tiled roof was performed. Scaled model was constructed through rigorous verification process to have quantitative relationship between the intensity of earthquake and damage state. The completed model was mounted on a shaking table and subjected to the dynamic tests. Two kinds of tests were performed: exploratory test and fragility test. The exploratory test was done with low intensity shaking. In the fragility test, the behavior of the model was carefully monitored while increasing the shaking intensity. The construction details of the model are provided and test procedures are reported. Finally important test results are presented and their implications are discussed.
