In this paper, horizontal seismic responses of a structure built on a sunken mat foundation were compared with those built on a solid embedded mat foundation to investigate the effect of a sunken mat foundation on the horizontal response of a structure. Seismic analyses of a structure laid on the embedded mat foundation were performed by utilizing a pseudo-3D finite element software of P3DASS. Three bedrock earthquake records downloaded from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center database were scaled to reproduce weak-moderate earthquakes. Weak, medium, and stiff soil layers were considered for the seismic analyses of the structure-foundation-soil system. Parametric studies were performed for foundation radius, foundation embedment depth, and shear wave velocity of a soil layer to investigate their effect on the seismic response spectrum. The study result showed that the design spectrum of a structure built on a sunken mat foundation was similar to that with a solid embedded mat foundation showing a slight difference due to almost the same seismic base motion beneath both embedded foundations.

지반진동특성의 지진공학적인 정밀측정의 일환으로 지반진동의 탁월주기와 지반진동의 거리에 따른 감쇠특성을 현장실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 이 조사는 세가지 부분의 실험을 통하여 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 지반의 탁월주기는 고감도 디지탈 속도지진계-3축성분 속도계를 이용하는 Seismometer와 디지탈 Seismograph를 이용하여 지반과 건물에서 일정한 주기를 가진 연속적인 미소진동으로 부터 지반 및 건물진동의 탁월주기를 계측하였다. 지반에서의 탁월주기는 0.18~0.23 sec, 건물2층의 탁월주기는 0.26~0.31 sec였다. 둘째, 지반 구조조사는 디지탈 탄성파탐사기를 이용하여 굴절법을 이용한 탄성파탐사를 실시하였다. 실험장소인 한양대학교 안산캠퍼스의 지층구조는 상부층(표토층: surface layer)은 저속도층으로서 662m1s, 하부층(지반층: base ground)은 2210m/s의 P파 속도를 갖고, 주시곡선도로부터 표토층의 두께는 약 7m로 검측되었다. 이것은 7m두깨의 표토층(top soil)과 그 하부에 사질 점토성의 지반층(base ground)이 존재함을 암시한다. 셋째, Seisgun을 이용하여 인공적인 탄성파 에너지원을 만들어 지반의 진동 감쇠특성을 조사 하였다. 거리 감쇠상수(spatial attenuation conf$\ulcorner$icient) Y는 거리에 따른 진폭 을 계산하여 Z-성분(vertical)은 0.0137, X-성분(longitudinal)은 0.0025, Y-성분(transverse)은 0.0290이고 Spatial QP의 값은 각각 5.913~7.575, 32.371 ~41.452, 2.794~3.579의 값이 산출되었었다. 이 결과 다른 두성분에 비해서 종방향(z-성분, longitudinal)성분은 감쇠경향이 낮음을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 이 경우에 구조물 설계시 종방향(x-성분, longitudinal)성분에 대 한 내진설계가 고려 되어야 할 것이다.

충청남도 홍성지역의 부지응답특성 평가를 위한 연구를 수행하기 위하여 다운홀 및 SASW 기법 등의 현장시험과 공진주/비틂전단시험 등 실내시험을 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 홍성지역의 부지특성을 평가하고 지반응답해석을 실시하였다. 홍성지역 현장은 지반은, 상부토층 30m의 평균전단파 속도가 209m/s로 SD 지반으로 결정되었고 응답해석결과 국내 기준과 잘 일치되는 부분도 있었으나, 구조물 주기에 따른 응답스펙트롬의 특정 주기에서 국내 기준보다 크게 증폭되는 현상도 발견되었다.

Displacement response and corresponding maximum response energy of structures are key parameters to assess the dynamic effect or even more destructive structural damage of the structures. By employing them, this research has compared the structural responses of jacket supported offshore wind turbine (OWT) subjected to seismic excitations apprehending earthquake incidence, when (a) soil-structure interaction (SSI) has been ignored and (b) SSI has been considered. The effect of earthquakes under arbitrary angle of excitation on the OWT has been investigated by means of the energy based wavelet transformation method. Displacement based fragility analysis is then utilized to convey the probability of exceedance of the OWT at different soil site conditions. The results show that the uncertainty arises due to multi-component seismic excitations along with the diminution trend of shear wave velocity of soil and it tends to reduce the efficiency of the OWT to stand against the ground motions.

This paper is concerned with the simplified criterion given in ASCE 4-98, for determining whether soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis is required for seismic response analysis of nuclear power plant structures. In this study, the criterion is evaluated for a couple of example structures including an existing nuclear power plant and the Hualien large-scale seismic test building. Forced vibration analysis and seismic response analysis are carried out using the simple stick model with soil springs and an elaborated SSI analytical model. From the numerical analyses, it is found that the criterion may not allow the fixed-base analysis for bedrock with shear wave velocity of greater than 1,100m/s which is a well-known criterion for a rock site. In addition, it is indicated that peak amplification as well as the peak broadening specified in NRC RG 1.122. shall be considered to include the effects of SSI.

In the present article, effect of non-uniform excitation due to spatially variation of seismic input on nonlinear response of concrete gravity dams is considered. The reservoir is assumed compressible. Isotropic damage mechanics approach is used to model static and dynamic nonlinear behavior of mass concrete in 2D space. The validity of utilized nonlinear model is considered using available theoretical results under static and dynamic conditions. The tallest monolith of Pine Flat dam is selected as a case study. Two cases are analyzed for considering the effect of limited wave propagation velocity on seismic behavior of the dam-reservoir system in which travelling velocities are chosen as 2000 m/s and infinity. It is found that tensile damage in neck and toe regions and also, in the vicinity of the base increase when the system is excited non-uniformly.

To obtain a shear-wave velocity profile in geotechnical practice, various seismic investigation methods which have their own strength and weakness are being frequently used. Generally, geotechnical site have lateral variation of the properties, so it is needed to determine 2-dimensional shear wave velocity imaging of the site. In this study, harmonic wavelet analysis of wave (HWAW) method is applied to determination of 2-D $V_s$ imaging. HWAW method which is based on time-frequency analysis using harmonic wavelet transform have been developed to determine phase and group velocities of waves. HWAW method uses the signal portion of the maximum local signal/noise ratio to evaluate the phase velocity to minimize the effects of noise. HWAW method determine detailed local $V_s$ profile because one experimental setup which consists of one pair of receivers with spacing of 1~3m is used to determine the dispersion curve of the whole depth. So, 2-D Vs imaging with relatively high resolution can be determined through a series of HWAW test. In order to estimate the applicability of HWAW method, field tests were performed in 4 sites. Through field applications and comparison with other test results, the good accuracy and applicability of the proposed method were verified.

The velocity structure beneath the CHNB broadband station is determined by receiver function analysis using by from teleseismic P waveforms. The detailed broadband receiver functions are obtained by stacking method for source-equalized vertical, radial and tangential components of teleseismic P waveforms. A time domain inversion uses the stacked radial receiver function to determine vertical P wave velocity structure beneath the station. The crustal velocity structures beneath the stations are estimated using the receiver function inversion method in the case at the crustal model parameterized by many thin, flat-tying, homogeneous layers. The result of crust at model inversion shows the crustal velocity structure beneath the CHNB station varies smoothly with increasing depth, and there are six discontinuity around 2.5km, 6.25km, 12.5km, 22.5km and 27.5km depth, with Moho discontinuity at about 32.5km depth.

토석류 지반의 안정성은 일반적으로 표토층의 중량, 점착력, 사면의 각도 그리고 내부 마찰각 등의 물성치를 통해서 예측된다. 그 중 표토층의 중량은 표토층 깊이와 단위중량으로 추정할 수 있으며, 이때 광범위한 지역에서 표토층 깊이를 예측하는 것이 선행적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 탐사를 통해 표토층 깊이를 추정하고자 하였으며, 표토층 깊이를 예측할 수 있는 속도 범위 결정방법도 함께 제시하고자 하였다. 대상지역은 세종시 인근의 토석류 발생지역으로 전체적인 표토층 깊이를 예측하기 위하여 총 4개의 측선에서 속도 분포를 관찰하였다. 또한 토석류 위험 지역에서의 표토층 깊이를 알기 위하여 동적 콘관입(dynamic cone penetration) 시험도 함께 실시하였으며, 총 18개의 원위치 시험을 수행하였다. 탄성파 탐사 결과 대상지역은 총 3~4개의 지층으로 구성되어 있으며, 기존의 속도값을 통해 표피심도를 예측하였다. 기존 속도 기준 값으로 예측된 결과는 DCP 결과와 큰 차이를 보였으며, 차이를 감소시키고 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 새로운 속도 기준값을 제시하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 표피심도를 예측하기 위하여 기존 기준 값을 현장 조건에 맞게 조절해야 함을 암시하며, 추가적인 실험으로 더욱 정밀한 기준값을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
