To obtain the seismic response of lead-cored rubber, shape memory alloy (SMA)-rubber isolation Plate-shell Integrated Concrete Liquid-Storage Structure (PSICLSS), based on a PSICLSS in a water treatment plant, built a scale experimental model, and a shaking table test was conducted. Discussed the seismic responses of rubber isolation, SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS. Combined with numerical model analysis, the vibration characteristics of rubber isolation PSICLSS are studied. The results showed that the acceleration, liquid sloshing height, hydrodynamic pressure of rubber and SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS are amplified when the frequency of seismic excitation is close to the main frequency of the isolation PSICLSS. The earthquake causes a significant leakage of liquid, at the same time, the external liquid sloshing height is significantly higher than internal liquid sloshing height. Numerical analysis showed that the low-frequency acceleration excitation causes a more significant dynamic response of PSICLSS. The sinusoidal excitation with first-order sloshing frequency of internal liquid causes a more significant sloshing height of the internal liquid, but has little effect on the structural principal stresses. The sinusoidal excitation with first-order sloshing frequency of external liquid causes the most enormous structural principal stress, and a more significant external liquid sloshing height. In particular, the principal stress of PSICLSSS with long isolation period will be significantly enlarged. Therefore, the stiffness of the isolation layer should be properly adjusted in the design of rubber and SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS.

지진시 중력식 안벽에 작용하는 하중성분은 벽체 관성력, 토압 그리고 수압으로 구성되어 있는데 이러한 하중성분은 배면지반의 밀도, 자갈 뒤채움 등 배면지반 조건에 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 배면지반의 다짐정도, 자갈 뒤채움재의 설치여부를 달리한 총 4가지 배면지반 조건에 대한 진동대 실험을 수행한 후, 중력식안벽에 작용하는 벽체 관성력, 수압 그리고 배면토압의 크기와 위상관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 자갈 뒤채움과 지반 다짐이 과잉간극수압 발생을 억제하는데 효과적이며, 배면 동적작용력의 크기와 위상은 과잉간극수압의 크기에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 입력가속도 진폭이 0.1g 일때 전체하중에서 관성력, 전면동적수압 그리고 배면 작용력이 차지하는 비율은 각각 $64\%,\;21\%$ 그리고 $16\%$로 나타났으며 과잉간극수압의 크기가 증가함에 따라 전체합력에서 배면작용력이 차지하는 비율이 증가하였다.

Considering the Column-Supported Group Silos (CSGSs) often arranged by rows in practical applications, earthquake responses will be affected by group effect. Since group effect presenting uncertainties, establishing the analytic model and evaluating characteristics of CSGSs seems necessary. This study aimed at providing a simplified method to evaluate seismic performances of the CSGSs. Firstly, the CSGSs with different storage granule heights are used as numerical examples to derive the base shear formula for three-particle dynamic analytical model. Then, the base shear distribution coefficient is defined as the group effect index. The simplified calculation method of the group silos based on the distribution coefficients is proposed. Finally, based on the empty, half, and full granular storage conditions, the empirical design parameters for the group silos system are given by combining finite element simulation with shaking table test. The group effect of storage granule heights of group silos on its frequency and base shear are studied by comparative analysis between group silos and independent single silo. The results show that the frequency of CSGSs decreases with the increasing weight of the stored granule. The connection between the column top and silo bottom plate is vulnerable, and structural measures should be strengthened to improve its damage resistance. In case of different storage granule heights, distribution coefficients are effective to reconstruction the group effect. The complex calculations of seismic response for CSGSs can be avoided by adopting the empirical distribution coefficients obtained in this study. The proposed method provides a theoretical reference for evaluation on the seismic performances of the CSGSs.

동일한 흙으로 조성된 모형지반에 대하여 1-g 모형실험과 원심모형실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 원형지반은 10m 두께의 수평하고 느슨한 포화 사질토 지반으로 가정하였다. 1-g 모형실험은 1/20 축소모형, 원심모형실험은 1/40 축소모형을 이용하였다. 원심모형실험의 경우 점성유체를 사용하여 동적시간에 대한 상사비와 과잉간극수압소산시간에 대한 상사비가 동일하도록 하였다. 원심모형실험의 계측결과는 원형지반의 거동으로 가정하였다. 그리고, 1-g모형실험에 정상상태개념 및 두 가지 시간상사비 등을 적용하여 원형지반의 거동을 모사하고자 하였다. 동일한 위치에서의 과잉간극수압, 지반가속도 그리고 지표 침하량 등을 계측하여 비교하였다. 실험결과 지반의 투수계수가 작아서 진동 중 과잉간극수압 소산의 영향이 작고, 소산시간상사비를 적절하게 결정하면 1-g 모형실험으로부터 원형지반의 과잉간극수압 거동을 모사할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Using OpenSees as a framework, constitutive models of reinforced, prestressed and prestressed steel fiber concrete found by the panel tests have been implemented into a finite element program called Simulation of Concrete Structures (SCS) to predict the seismic behavior of shear-critical reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. The developed finite element program was validated by tests on prestressed steel fiber concrete beams under monotonic loading, post tensioned precast concrete column under reversed cyclic loading, framed shear walls under reversed cyclic loading or shaking table excitations, and a seven-story wall building under shake table excitations. The comparison of analytical results with test outcomes indicates good agreement.

In this paper, the seismic performance of SRC piers for near fault motions was evaluated by shaking table tests on small scale models. Dead load of the superstructures was simulated by axial prestress at the center of the column section. A mass frame linked with steel bars was fabricated to include the effect of superstructure mass. Friction of the mass frame when it moves was minimized by special details and it was proved before tests. Five pier models with 400mm diameter were tested by increasing the acceleration of the near fault motion. Test results were discussed and compared with previous quasi-static tests.

The substructuring pseudodynamic test is a hybrid testing method consisting of a numerical simulation of the earthquake response of an analytical model and a loading test of a specimen. The substructuring pseudodynamic testing technique has been applied to various seismic experiments since it has advantages over the shaking table test to study dynamic behaviors of relatively large scale structures. However, experimental errors are inevitable in substructuring pseudodynamic testing. Some of these errors can be monitored during the test, but, due to limitations in control system, they cannot be eliminated. For example, one cannot control exactly the displacements that are actually imposed on the structures at each time step. This paper focuses on a technique to minimize the cumulative effect of such control errors for MDOF system. For this purpose, the modified posterior adjustment of the time increment from a target value $\Delta$t$_{n}$ to an adjusted value is performed to minimize the effect of the control errors for MDOF system.for MDOF system.

In this paper, the performance of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) in suppressing the seismic response of buildings is investigated with shake table testing of a four-story steel frame model that rests on pile foundation. The model tests were performed in three phases with the steel frame structure alone, the soil and pile foundation system, and the soil-foundation-structure system, respectively. The test results from different phases were compared to study the effect of soil-structure interaction on the efficiency of a TLD in reducing the peak response of the structure. The influence of a TLD on the dynamic response of the pile foundation was investigated as well. Three types of earthquake excitations were considered with different frequency characteristics. Test results indicated that TLD can suppress the peak response of the structure up to 20% regardless of the presence of soils. TLD is also effective in reducing the dynamic responses of pile foundation.

This study is a basic study on the seismic reinforcement method of anchors of fixed parts in order to reduce the effect of seismic motion that affects the facilities in the event of an earthquake. By applying the test method of ICC ES AC 156, a seismic simulation experiment was performed on the vibration table with three axes simultaneously using the number of connecting bolts between cabinets and channels as a parameter. In addition, the reliability of the experiment was verified using numerical analysis, and the part about the dynamic characteristics that could not be performed according to the experimental limit was investigated through numerical analysis. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the natural frequency of the main body was increased due to the increase in the number of connecting bolts between the cabinet-channel. Accordingly, it was judged that the rigidity of the lower part of the cabinet was increased due to seismic reinforcement. It was analyzed that the impact delivered to the body was effectively reduced. In the future, if the reinforcement of the connection parts mentioned in this study is added to the existing seismic reinforcement of the electrical cabinets, it is expected that the damage to the electrical cabinets of the power plant equipment caused by an earthquake will be effectively reduced.
