The safety of cultural properties, medical treatment and electrical communication equipments in a building was hardly considered against the earthquake induced vibration, while the integrity of the building structure has been taken into account through the resistant earthquake design. This paper presents design of a seismic isolation table for both indoor and outdoor electrical communication equipment. First of all, artificial earthquake waves compatible with floor and ground response spectra for electrical communication equipments are generated using previously recorded seismic waves. Two kinds of one-degree-of-freedom seismic isolation table systems: spring-linear damper and spring-friction damper systems are considered and their responses to artificial earthquake waves are simulated. Design parameter study for two seismic isolation tables are performed through simulations and a seismic isolation table for both indoor and outdoor electrical communication equipment is designed considering the simulation results.

In current ductility-based earthquake-resistant design, the estimation of design forces continues to be carried out with the application of response modification factors on elastic design spectra. It is well-known that the response modification factor (R) takes into account the force reduction, strength, redundancy, and damping of structural systems. The key components of the response modification factor (R) are force reduction ($R_{\mu}$) and strength ($R_S$) factors. However, the response modification and strength factors for structural systems presented in design codes were based on professional judgment and experiences. A numerical study has been accomplished to evaluate force reduction, strength, and response modification factors for special steel moment resisting frames. A total of 72 prototype steel frames were designed based on the recommendations given in the AISC Seismic Provisions and UBC Codes. Number of stories, soil profiles, seismic zone factors, framing systems, and failure mechanisms were considered as the design parameters that influence the response. The effects of the design parameters on force reduction ($R_{\mu}$), strength ($R_S$), and response modification (R) factors were studied. Based on the analysis results, these factors for special steel moment resisting frames are evaluated.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been related to damage identification with either operational loads or other environmental loading playing a significant complimentary role in terms of structural safety. In this study, a non-parametric method of time frequency analysis on the measurement is used to address the time-frequency representation for modal parameter estimation and system damage identification of structure. The method employs the wavelet decomposition of dynamic data by using the modified complex Morlet wavelet with variable central frequency (MCMW+VCF). Through detail discussion on the selection of model parameter in wavelet analysis, the method is applied to study the dynamic response of both steel structure and reinforced concrete frame under white noise excitation as well as earthquake excitation from shaking table test. Application of the method to building earthquake response measurement is also examined. It is shown that by using the spectrogram generated from MCMW+VCF method, with suitable selected model parameter, one can clearly identify the time-varying modal frequency of the reinforced concrete structure under earthquake excitation. Discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of the method through field experiments are also presented.

최대지반가속도(PGA : Peak Ground Acceleration)는 지진파의 최대값을 나타내는 매개변수(Parameter)이며 주로 지진파의 강도를 나타낸다. PGA가 동일하더라도 지진파에 따라 다른 동적특성을 가질 수 있고 구조물에 미치는 영향도 다를 수 있다. 따라서 PGA만으로 구조물에 미치는 지진의 특성을 평가하는 것은 바람직하지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답해석을 위하여 단자유도(Single Degree Of Freedom) 구조물의 시간이력해석 수행하였으며, 수치해석모델은 완전 탄소성(Perfect Elasto-Plastic)으로 가정하였다. 검토한 입력 지진파는 El Centro NS(1940)의 값을 증감한 지진파를 포함한 실측지진파, 인공지진파를 사용하였다. 이와 같은 수치해석을 통하여 PGA가 동일한 인공지진파들에 대해 비탄성 지진응답해석을 수행하고, 각 지진파에 대하여 변위연성도와 누적소산에너지를 비교하였다. 그 결과 동일한 PGA를 가지더라도 지진파에 따라 서로 다른 응답을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 지진의 특성뿐 아니라 구조물의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 지표가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 구조물의 비탄성 지진응답을 대표할 수 있는 SI(Spectrum Intensity)는 속도응답스펙트럼의 일정구간에 대한 적분을 통하여 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 SI와 변위연성도 및 누적소산에너지의 상관관계 분석을 통하여 구조물의 지진에 대한 비탄성응답의 대표값으로 SI가 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This study performed numerical analysis for obtaining optimal frequency and damping ratio of tuned mass damper (TMD) using 20 seismic loads measured at rock site. The structures of $1{\sim}2$ second natural period were considered, and optimal frequency and damping ratio were estimated for different mass ratio in terms of displacement and absolute acceleration response control. Numerical results showed that the values of the optimal parameters were different those from previous study by Hartog.

The Seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) or seismic margin assessment (SMA) have been used for the seismic safety evaluation of nuclear power plant structures and equipments. For the SPRA or SMA, the reference response spectrum should be defined. The site-specific median spectrum has been generally used for the seismic fragility analysis of structures and equipments in a Korean nuclear power plant Since the site-specific spectrum has been developed based on the peak ground motion parameter, the site-specific response spectrum does not represent the same probability of exceedance over the entire frequency range of interest. The uniform hazard spectrum is more appropriate to be used in seismic probabilistic risk assessment than the site- specific spectrum. A method for modifying the seismic fragility parameters that are calculated based on the site-specific median spectrum is described. This simple method was developed to incorporate the effects of the uniform hazard spectrum. The seismic fragility parameters of typical NPP components are modified using the uniform hazard spectrum. The modification factor is used to modify the original fragility parameters. An example uniform hazard spectrum is developed using the available seismic hazard data for the Korean nuclear power plant (NPP) site. This uniform hazard spectrum is used for the modification of fragility parameters.

Elevated water tanks are considered as important structures due to its post-earthquake requirements. Elevated water tank on reinforced concrete frame staging is widely used in India. Different response reduction factors depending on ductility of frame members are used in seismic design of frame staging. The study on appropriateness of response reduction factor for reinforced concrete tank staging is sparse in literature. In the present paper a systematic study on estimation of key components of response reduction factors is presented. By considering the various combinations of tank capacity, height of staging, seismic design level and design response reduction factors, forty-eight analytical models are developed and designed using relevant Indian codes. The minimum specified design cross section of column as per Indian code is found to be sufficient to accommodate the design steel. The strength factor and ductility factor are estimated using results of nonlinear static pushover analysis. It was observed that for seismic design category 'high' the strength factor has lesser contribution than ductility factor, whereas, opposite trend is observed for seismic design category 'low'. Further, the effects of staging height and tank capacity on strength and ductility factors for two different seismic design categories are studied. For both seismic design categories, the response reduction factors obtained from the nonlinear static analysis is higher than the code specified response reduction factors. The minimum dimension restriction of column is observed as key parameter in achieving the desired performance of the elevated water tank on frame staging.

원자력발전소에 설치되는 주요 전기기기들의 내부 부품을 내진검증하기 위해서는 캐비닛내부응답스펙트럼이 필요하고, 이는 캐비닛의 각 위치에서 정확한 지진응답을 구한 후에 생성이 가능하다. 반면에 대부분의 전기기기는 질량과 강성 분포가 복잡하기 때문에 해석적 방법에 의해 동적 분석을 수행하는 것이 어렵다. 이러한 여건을 감안하여 이 연구에서는 해석과 시험을 조합하여 기기의 지진응답을 예측하는 간편한 절차를 제안하였다. 제안된 절차는 먼저 충격시험을 통하여 규명된 실험모드특성을 이용하여 독립된 모드방정식을 구성하고, 이로부터 모드응답을 계산한 다음, 각 모드응답을 중첩함으로써 구조물의 지진응답을 예측한다. 제안된 절차의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서, 별도로 제작된 단순 강재 프레임 시편에 제안된 절차를 적용하여 지진응답을 예측하고, 이를 실제 진동대시험을 통하여 계측한 결과와 비교하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 충격시험에 의해 얻어진 실험모드특성을 이용하여 구조물의 지진응답을 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Seismic responses of the Hualien large scale seismic test model on a layered soil site are estimated for two recorded earthquakes and the analysis results are then compared and evaluated with the recorded responses. The method adopted for the analysis is based on substructuring method using a lumped parameter model in both the frequency and time domain. the study results indicate that the proposed method can reasonably estimate the earthquake responses of a soil-structure interaction system for engineering purposes.
