The academic research works about liquid storage tanks are reviewed for the purpose of providing valuable reference to the engineering practice on their aseismic design. A summary of the performance of tanks during past earthquakes is described in this paper. Next, the seismic response of tanks under unidirectional earthquake is reported, supplemented with the dynamic response under multidirectional motions. Then, researches on the influence of soil-structure interaction are brought out to help modify the seismic design approach of tanks in different areas with variable properties of soils. Afterwards, base isolation systems are reported to demonstrate their effectiveness for the earthquake-resistant design of liquid storage tanks. Further, researches about the liquid-structure interaction are reviewed with description of simplified models and numerical analytical methods, some of which consider the elastic effect of tank walls. Moreover, the liquid sloshing phenomenon on the hydrodynamic behaviors of tanks is presented by various algorithms including grid-based and meshfree method. And then the impact of baffles in changing the dynamic characteristics of the liquid-structure system is raised, which shows the energy dissipation by the vortex motion of liquid. In addition, uplifting effect is given to enhance the understanding on the capacity of unanchored tanks and some assessment of their development. At last, the concluding remarks and the aspects of extended research in the field of liquid storage tanks under seismic loads are provided, emphasizing the thermal stress analysis, the replaceable system for base isolation, the liquid-solid interaction and dynamic responses with stochastic excitations.

작금에 사용되고 있는 RC 구조물의 대개의 내진설계기법은 지진시 RC 구조물에 발생되는 손상의 분포상태를 고려치 않고 있다. 본 논문은 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 새로운 내진설계법 즉 Miner's 법칙을 수정한 지진 발생시의 흡수에너지(Dissipated Energy)를 변수로 하는 손상모델(3)를 사용하여 RC 프레임의 각각의 Node에서의 손상정도를 수치적으로 나타내고 이들 손상값의 크기가 전 부재에 고르게 분포토록 하기 위하여 각 부재의 주철근량을 설계변수로 채택한 설계기법을 소개하였다. 사용된 이력모델 및 손상모델의 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 해석적인 하중-변형곡선을 재생하여 실험곡선과 비교분석하였으며 제안된 내진설계법의 유용성은 3-bay 4-story 프레임 모델을 사용하여 입증하였다.

건물의 내진성을 향상시키는 방법으로 전단벽과 가새 등의 내진요소가 사용된다. 대부분 철근콘크리트 건물에서는 철근콘크리트 전단벽이 철골건물에서는 철골가새가 내진요소로 사용이 되고 있다. 그러나 철근콘크리트 전단벽은 시공이 어렵고 원하는 소성 영역에서 연성(ductility)과 에너지 흡수능력을 만족시키기 어렵다. 강도와 강성이 매우 높고 연성이 우수하며, 자중이 작아서 전단벽의 재료로서 적합하다고 판단된다. 안정적인 거동을 하도록 박강판의 양면에 리브판을 보강하는 방법을 채택하였다. 실험은 강판벽의 폭높이비(D/H) 리브보강형태, 재하이력 등을 변수로 하여 수행하였다. 실험결과로 부터 강판벽의 제반 복원력특성을 분석 고찰하였다.

In this paper, magneto-rheological(MR) damper is studied for vibration control of large infra structures under earthquake. Generally, active control devices need a large control force and a high power supply system to reduce the vibration effectively. Large and miss tuned control force may induce the dangerous situation such that the generated large control force acts to amplify the structural vibration. Recently, to overcome the weaknesses of the active control, the semi-active control method is suggested by many researchers. Semi-active control uses the passive control device of which the characteristics can be modified. Control force of the semi-active device is not generated from the actuator with power supply. It is generated as a dynamic reaction force of the device same as in the passive control case, so the control system is inherently stable and robust. Unlike the case of passive control, control force of semi-active control is adjusted depending on the measured response of the structure, so the vibration can be reduced more effectively against various unknown environmental loads. Magneto-rheological(MR) damper is one of the semi-active devices. Dynamic characteristics of the MR material can be changed by applying the magnetic fields. So the control of MR damper needs only small power. Response time of MR to the input voltage is very short, so the high performance control is possible. MR damper has a high force capacity so it is adequate to the vibration control of large infra structure. Because MR damper has a nonlinear property, normal control method used in active control may not be effective. Clipped optimal control, modified bang-bang control etc. have been suggested to MR damper by many researchers. In this study, sliding mode fuzzy control(SMFC) is applied to MR damper. Genetic algorithm is used for the controller tuning. To verify the applicability of MR damper and suggested algorithm, numerical simulation on the aseismic control is carried out. Simulation model is three-story building structure, which was used in the paper of Dyke, et al. The control performance is compared with clipped optimal control. The present results indicate that the SMFC algorithm can reduce the earthquake-induced vibration very effectively.
