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.

본 연구는 지진의 영향을 등치선의 형태로 표현할 수 있는 Shake을 활용하여 현행 지진재난 정보제공 서비스를 개선하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 미국 지질조사국이 제공하고 있는 ShakeMap 소프트웨어를 사용하여 자동화된 신속 ShakeMap 생성 시스템을 구현하였으며 이를 바탕으로 지진발생 후 사용자의 위치를 기준으로 지진의 위험도를 진도나 지반최대가속도의 형태로 파악할 수 있는 지진재난 정보서비스 개선모델을 제시하였다. 개선된 모델의 구현 가능성과 효과를 검증하기 위하여 경북 포항지역을 대상으로 지진재난 정보서비스앱을 개발하여 시범적으로 운영한 결과 신속 ShakeMap을 활용한 정보제공을 통해 보다 상세한 지진위험도 정보를 제공함으로써 사용자의 안전행동을 보다 효과적으로 유도할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Under a severe environment of multiple hazards such as earthquakes and winds, the life-cycle performance of engineering structures may inevitably be deteriorated due to the fatigue effect caused by long-term exposure to wind loads, which would further increase the structural vulnerability to earthquakes. This paper presents a framework for evaluating the lifetime structural seismic performance under the effect of wind-induced fatigue considering different sources of uncertainties. The seismic behavior of a high-rise steel-concrete composite frame with buckling-restrained braces (FBRB) during its service life is systematically investigated using the proposed approach. Recorded field data for the wind hazard of Fuzhou, Fujian Province of China from Jan. 1, 1980 to Mar. 31, 2019 is collected, based on which the distribution of wind velocity is constructed by the Gumbel model after comparisons. The OpenSees platform is employed to establish the numerical model of the FBRB and conduct subsequent numerical computations. Allowed for the uncertainties caused by the wind generation and structural modeling, the final annual fatigue damage takes the average of 50 groups of simulations. The lifetime structural performance assessments, including static pushover analyses, nonlinear dynamic time history analyses and fragility analyses, are conducted on the time-dependent finite element (FE) models which are modified in lines with the material deterioration models. The results indicate that the structural performance tends to degrade over time under the effect of fatigue, while the influencing degree of fatigue varies with the duration time of fatigue process and seismic intensity. The impact of wind-induced fatigue on structural responses and fragilities are explicitly quantified and discussed in details.

Robust semi-active vibration control of wind turbines using tuned mass dampers (TMDs) is a promising technique. This study investigates a 1.5 megawatt wind turbine controlled by eight different types of tuned mass damper systems of equal mass: a passive TMD, a semi-active varying-spring TMD, a semi-active varying-damper TMD, a semi-active varying-damper-and-spring TMD, as well as these four damper systems paired with an additional smaller passive TMD near the mid-point of the tower. The mechanism and controllers for each of these TMD systems are explained, such as employing magnetorheological dampers for the varying-damper TMD cases. The turbine is modelled as a lumped-mass 3D finite element model. The uncontrolled and controlled turbines are subjected to loading and operational cases including service wind loads on operational turbines, seismic loading with service wind on operational turbines, and high-intensity storm wind loads on parked turbines. The displacement and acceleration responses of the tower at the first and second mode shape maxima were used as the performance indicators. Ultimately, it was found that while all the semi-active TMD systems outperformed the passive systems, it was the semi-active varying-damper-and-spring system that was found to be the most effective overall - capable of controlling vibrations about as effectively with only half the mass as a passive TMD. It was also shown that by reducing the mass of the TMD and adding a second smaller TMD below, the vibrations near the mid-point could be greatly reduced at the cost of slightly increased vibrations at the tower top.

In this study we developed the visualization scheme of spatial ground-motion measurements in real time by using DSS data. Even though this scheme itself is useful for national earthquake mitigation plans, this scheme could be served as the crucial core for constructing rapid earthquake damage evaluation system. DSS is the abbreviation of Data Subscription Service and this is the pre-assigned request for the seismic stations to send very limited brief data with high priority and negligible transmission load. In addition to visualize the damage area with intensity, the corresponding epicenter can be estimated roughly for quick event alarm. For the interpolation of spatially irregular PGA data, the program, named as surface. of GMT was used with NetCDF grid file format. Since the grid file is similar to a postscript file, the program, called as shading, was coded with C language by using Matpak library in order to convert grid files into image files.

Citic Tower is the first over-500 m-tall super highrise building in the world, located in the high seismic intensity area with paek ground acceleration over 0.2g in 475 years. This project is unique in its complexity, large volume, and challenging site conditions (zero site for construction). The traditional techniques can hardly meet safty, quality and schedule requirements of the construction. This article introduces the key construction technologies that are innovatively developed and applied in Citic Tower project construction, including intelligent super-high-rise building integrated construction platform system, independently developed by the CCTEB; Jump-Lift Elevator, which is the first of the kind with service height over 500 meters; combined temporary-and-permanent fire protection systems. The BIM technology is also applied in this project. Through technical innovation, and utilization of technologies, construction speed and safety had been greatly improved.

V_S30지도는 부지증폭을 나타내는 주요 변수로 임의의 부지에서 지반운동을 예측하는 ShakeMap의 핵심 변수로 사용된다. 하지만, 한반도의 지질특성과 지형특성을 고려하는 V_S30지도는 아직 제시된 적이 없다. 이번 연구에서는 지질과 지형을 고려하는 V_S30지도를 작성하기 위해 전단파 속도 주상도로부터 계산 또는 추정된 1,101개의 V_S30과 한반도 광범위 지질, 지형정보 레이어를 수집하였다. 이러한 데이터와 일반선형회귀분석 방법을 사용하여 V_S30 추정 모델을 개발하였다. 모델은 지질분류에 따라 매립지, 신생대 제4기 퇴적층, 중생대 그룹, 선캄브리아기와 해양층으로 구분된 후 지형정보의 함수로 제안되었다. 지도의 해상도는 기상청에서 기존에 진도추정을 위한 ShakeMap 구동에 사용하는 미국지질조사국(USGS)의 지도의 2배로 하였다. 그 결과, 프락시 기반 V_S30지도의 대수로그 잔차의 표준편차는 0.233으로 USGS의 V_S30 지도의 표준편차인 0.387보다 낮은 수치를 보인다. 본 연구에서 개발한 V_S30지도를 사용한다면 ShakeMap의 불확실성이 줄어들 것으로 기대된다.
