This paper presents results for impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of foundations in a layered half-space computed on the basis of a procedure that combines a consistent transmitting boundary with continued-fraction absorbing boundary conditions which are accurate and effective in modeling wave propagation in various unbounded domains. The effects of obliquely incident seismic waves in a layered half-space are taken into account in the formulation of the transmitting boundary. Using the numerical model, impedance (and compliance) functions and input motions of rigid circular foundations on the surface of or embedded in a homogeneous half-space are computed and compared with available published results for verification of the procedure. Extrapolation methods are proposed to improve the performance in the very-low-frequency range and for the static condition. It is concluded from the applications that accurate analysis of foundation dynamics and soil-structure interaction in a layered half-space can be carried out using the enhanced consistent transmitting boundary and the proposed extrapolations.

지반 및 원형기초의 물성이 그 기초의 수직 동적거동에 미치는 영향이 해석적 해와 수치해석을 통해 연구되었다. 해석적 해로는 반무한체 지반 위 원형기초의 거동을 나타내는 간략 해가, 수치해석방법으로는 선대칭 유한요소법이 consistent transmitting 경계조건과 함께 사용되었다. 균일한 지반의 물성으로서의 전단파속도는 원형기초 동적거동의 공명진동수에 영향을 주었으나 공명진동시의 최대반응값에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 같은 경우에 지반의 밀도는 공명진동수와 최대반응값에 모두 영향을 주었다. 균일한 지반 위 원형기초의 크기와 질량도 원형기초 동적거동의 공명진동수와 최대반응값 모두에 영향을 주었으나 균일 지반의 포아송비는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 지반이 균일하지 않고 층이 존재할 경우에 각 층의 물성으로의 전단파속도들의 상관관계는 원형기초의 최대반응값에 영향을 주었다.

According to natural frequency of soil, characteristics of earthquake responses of an isolated containment building in nuclear power plants are examined. For this, earthquake response analysis of seismically isolated containment buildings in nuclear power plants is carried out by strictly considering soil-structure interactions. The structure and near-field soil are modeled by the finite element method while far-field soil by consistent transmitting boundary. The equation of motion of a soil-structure interaction system under incident seismic wave is derived. The derived equations of motion are solved to carry out earthquake analysis of a seismically isolated soil-structure system. Generally, the results of this analysis show that seismic isolation significantly reduces the responses of the soil-structure system. However, if the natural frequency of the soil is similar to that of the soil-structure system, the responses of the containment buildings in nuclear power plants rather increases due to interactions in the system.
