Damage to nuclear power plants causes human casualties and environmental disasters. There are electrical facilities that control safety-related devices in nuclear power plants, and seismic performance is required for them. The 2016 Gyeongju earthquake had many high-frequency components. Therefore, there is a high possibility that an earthquake involving many high frequency components will occur in South Korea. As such, it is necessary to examine the safety of nuclear power plants against an earthquake with many high-frequency components. In this study, the shaking table test of electrical facilities was conducted against the design earthquake for nuclear power plants with a large low-frequency components and an earthquake with a large high-frequency components. The response characteristics of the earthquake with a large high-frequency components were identified by deriving the amplification factors of the response through the shaking table test. In addition, safety of electrical facility against the two aforementioned types of earthquakes with different seismic characteristics was confirmed through limit-state seismic tests. The electrical facility that was performed to the shaking table test in this study was a motor control center (MCC).

이 연구의 목적은 진동대를 사용한 지진모의 기술의 현상황을 살펴보고 그의 신뢰성을 검토하는 것이다. 1자유도 및 3자유도 알루미늄 전단구조 모델이 사용되었으며, $4m{\times}4m$ 6자유도 진동대가 1940 El centro 지진 가속도 기록(NS요소)를 재현하기 위해 수평 1방향으로 흔들어졌다. 진동대의 실제 가속도 이력과 목표 가속도 이력을 비교할 때, 전반적인 이력은 매우 흡사했으나 실제 진동의 저 주파수 영역은 목표치보다 후리에 변환 강도에서 낮은 값을 대체로 나타내고 있었다. 자유진동 및 백색파 실험은 고유주파수에 대해서는 거의 일치하는 값을 나타내고 있으나 감쇠계수에 대해서는 자유진동실험의 경우 1.4%, 백색파실험의 경우 14.8%를 나타내어 큰 차이를 보여주고 있다. 층 전단력 대 층간변위의 이력곡선으로부터 전제적으로 선형탄성거동을 나타내고 있으나 이 이력곡선의 모습이 층 강성을 한축으로 하는 타원형을 나타내어 점성감쇠의 영향을 암시하고 있다.

A shaking table test was conducted at the E-Defense shaking table facility to investigate the damage and collapse behavior of a steel high-rise building under exceedingly large ground motions. The specimen is a one-third scale 18-story steel moment frame designed and constructed according to design specifications and practices used in the 1980s and 1990s. The shaking table tests used a long-duration, long-period ground motion simulated for a sequential Tokai, Nankai, and Nankai earthquake scenario. The building specimen was subjected to a series of progressively increasing scaled motions until it completely collapsed. The damage to the steel frame began through the yielding of beams along lower stories and column bases of the first story. After several excitations by increasing scaled motions, cracks initiated at the welded moment connections and fractures in the beam flanges spread to the lower stories. As the shear strength of each story decreased, the drifts of lower stories increased and the frame finally collapsed and settled on the supporting frame. From the test, a typical progression of collapse for a tall steel moment frame was obtained, and the hysteretic behavior of steel structural members including deterioration due to local buckling and fracture were observed. The results provide important information for further understanding and an accurate numerical simulation of collapse behavior.

본 연구에서는 전력, 통신 등 다양한 주요 기간설비의 운영에 필수적인 전기판넬의 내진성능개선을 위하여 내진보강시스템을 개발하고, 이 시스템의 내진성능평가를 위하여 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전기판넬 내진보강시스템은 이중바닥시스템(Access floor) 상에 설치된 전기판넬을 대상으로 운전하에서 무정전, 무이설 방식으로 내진보강이 가능하다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 진동대시험을 통해 전기판넬 내진보강시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 지진하중으로서 건물 내 여러 층에 설치되는 전기판넬의 특성을 고려하여 포괄응답스펙트럼을 입력하였다. 진동대시험은 널리 상용화되어 있는 스틸과 우드판넬 등 두 형식의 이중바닥시스템과 일반 전기판넬을 대표할 수 있는 동특성이 다른 두 종류의 전기판넬을 고려하여 총 4회 수행하였다. 진동대시험결과, 내진보강시스템은 진동대시험 중 및 후에도 전도 등으로 인한 전기판넬의 파손을 방지하는 등 전기판넬의 내진안전성을 확보하여 주는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 이중바닥시스템 상에 설치된 전기판넬에 개발된 내진보강시스템을 적용하는 경우, 지진으로 인한 전기판넬의 파손을 효과적으로 방지하여, 국내 주요 기간설비의 안정적 운영에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

조밀한 건조조립토와 건설재료(콘크리트재)사이의 경계에서의 동마찰계수를 구하기 위하여 진동대를 사용하여 동적직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 조밀한 건조조립토와 건설재료사이의 동마찰계수는 본 연구에서 고려한 미끄러짐 속도의 범위안에서는 크게 변하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 동마찰계수는 조립토의 평균입경이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고, 이에 대한 관계식을 제안하였다. 또한 이 계수를 같은 조립토에 대하여 실시한 평면변형률시험으로 얻어진 내부마찰각으로부터의 마찰계수와 비교하였다.

The use of pre-tensioned shape memory alloy (SMA) wires to retrofit historic masonry structures is investigated. A small wall, serving as a prototype masonry specimen, is constructed to undergo a series of shaking-table tests. It is first studied in its original state, and its dynamic characteristics (in terms of modal frequencies) are extracted from the recorded signals. The results are then compared with those obtained when an increasing number of couples of pre-stressed SMA wires are introduced in the specimen to link the bricks together. A three-dimensional finite element model of the specimen is developed and calibrated according to the modal parameters identified from each experimental test (with and without SMA wires). The calibration process is conducted by enhancing the masonry mechanical behaviour. The results and the effectiveness of the approach are presented.

This paper deals the shaking table tests with 1/100 scaled model followed by Scott & Iai(1989)'s similitude law for OO dam main desging section to understand nonlinear behavior characteristics of concrete dam body by earthquake wave. As earthquake wave, Hachinohe and Elcentro waves were used and acceleration and displacements are measured to analyze behaviors of dam body. For ground maximum acceleration range ($0.3^{\sim}0.9g$), the results showed linear behavior regardless of ground maximum acceleration and secured safety of structure. To analyze the behavior of dam after tension cracking, 3cm-notch was placed at the critical section of over-flowing section. As results of applying Hachinohe wave(0.8g), Even though tension cracks were formed at over-flowing section by Hachinohe wave(0.8g), it showed that the dam is stable for supporting upper stream part of water tank of dam.

This study explores a coefficient-based seismic capacity assessment method with a special emphasis on low-rise masonry in-filled (MI) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings subjected to earthquake motion. The coefficient-based method without requiring any complicated finite element analysis is a simplified procedure to assess the maximum spectral acceleration capacity of buildings. This paper first compares the fundamental periods of MI RC structures obtained, respectively, from experimental period data and empirical period-height formulas. The coefficient-based method for low-rise masonry buildings is then calibrated by the published experimental results obtained from shaking table tests. The comparison of the experimental and estimated results indicates that the simplified coefficient-based method can provide good approximations of the maximum spectral accelerations at peak loads of the low-rise masonry reinforced concrete buildings if a proper set of drift factors and initial fundamental vibration periods of structures are used.
