교통하중은 포장 설계 및 해석에서 가장 중요한 입력 변수로서 포장 파손의 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 정확한 포장 설계 및 해석을 위해서는 적절한 교통하중 정량화가 선행되어야 한다. 전통적으로 교통하중은 혼합된 교통흐름을 설계목적의 하나의 값으로 변환시켜주는 ESALs 관점에서 추정되어왔으나 이는 AASHO 도로 테스트를 통해 도출된 지극히 경험적인 값으로 전 노선망에 대해 평균적인 계수로 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 등가단축하중계수의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 선진국에서는 역학적 개념을 도입한 많은 연구를 진행한 결과 역학적-경험적 설계법(Mechanistic-Empirical Design)에 적용할 수 있는 축하중 분포(Axle Load Spectra)를 이용한 교통하중 정량화 방안을 수립하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반국도에 설치 운영되고 있는 WIM 시스템을 통해 수집된 화물차 하중 데이터를 이용하여 축하중 분포 특성(Axle Load Spectra)을 이해하고 혼합정규분포함수에 기초한 축 형태별 하중 분포 모형식을 제시하였으며, 이를 기존 하중 분포 모형과 비교 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 화물차 축하중 분포 특성 및 축하중 분포 모형식은 향후 일반국도 및 고속도로의 포장 설계법 개발을 위한 교통하중 정량화 방안 수립 시, 과적 차량 단속 정책 수립 시, 도로 유지관리를 위한 계획 수립 시 기초자료로써 활용가능하다.

최근 발생한 5개의 중규모 지진으로부터 관측된 지반진동 파형을 이용하여 응답스펙트럼을 분석하고 결과를 국내 원자력 관련 구조물의 내진설계 기준과 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준과 각각 비교하였다. 연구에 이용된 지반진동 개수는 수평성분 및 수직성분 각각 74개 및 89개이며 주파수별 지반응답을 구하고 최대 지반 가속도 값를 이용하여 정규화 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과를 국내 원자력시설물의 내진기준으로 이용되고 있는 Reg. Guide 1.60과 비교한 결과 특히 약 1 Hz 이상의 전체 고주파수 영역에서 수평 성분 스펙트럼 이 Reg. Guide 1.60 보다 높은 값을 보여 주었다. 수직성분은 약 7~8 Hz 부근에서 약간 초과하였다. 또한 국내 일반 구조물 및 건축물 내진설계기준인 표준 설계응답스펙트럼을 3개 지반조건에 적용한 결과를 분석 자료와 동시에 비교한 결과 특히 약 2초(0.5 Hz) 이하의 단주기 영역의 전체 대역(SE 지반조건)에서 수평 성분 자료처리 결과가 기준을 크게 초과하는 현상을 보여 주었다. 수직성분은 전체 주기 영역에서 SD 지반조건의 기준과 유사한 특징을 보여 주었다. 물론 이러한 현상은 국내 지각의 주파수별 감쇠 및 부지 직하부의 감쇠 특성 등과 복합적으로 관련되어 발생한 현상으로 판단된다. 향후 국내 지진활동 실정에 적합한 내진설계 기준 마련을 위해 관측자료의 질적 향상 및 양적인 축적 등을 통하여 특히 수평 성분의 약 1 Hz 이상의 고주파수 대역에서 응답스펙트럼 기준의 보수성을 심각하게 고려할 필요가 있다.

It is of great importance to assess the residual displacement demand in the performance-based seismic design. In this paper, a hybrid deep learning model for predicting the residual displacement spectra under near-fault (NF) ground motions is proposed by combining the long short-term memory network (LSTM) and back-propagation (BP) network. The model is featured by its capacity of predicting the residual displacement spectrum under a given NF ground motion while considering the effects of structural parameters. To construct this model, 315 natural and artificial NF ground motions were employed to compute the residual displacement spectra through elastoplastic time history analysis considering different structural parameters. Based on the resulted dataset with a total of 9,450 samples, the proposed model was finally trained and tested. The results show that the proposed model has a satisfactory accuracy as well as a high efficiency in predicting residual displacement spectra under given NF ground motions while considering the impacts of structural parameters.

The seismic damage of non-structural components, such as communication facilities, causes direct economic losses as well as indirect losses which result from social chaos occurring with downtime of communication and financial management network systems. The current Korean seismic code, KBC2009, prescribes the design criteria and requirements of non-structural components based on their elastic response. However, it is difficult for KBC to reflect the dynamic characteristics of structures where non-structural components exist. In this study, both linear and nonlinear time history analyses of structures with various analysis parameters were carried out and floor acceleration spectra obtained from analyses were compared with both ground acceleration spectra used for input records of the analyses and the design floor acceleration spectrum proposed by National Radio Research Agency. Also, this study investigates to find out the influence of structural dynamic characteristics on the floor acceleration spectra. The analysis results show that the acceleration amplification is observed due to the resonance phenomenon and such amplification increases with the increase of building heights and with the decrease of structure's energy dissipation capacities.

Wind tunnel test is often adopted to assess the site-specific wind characteristics for the design of bridges as suggested by current design standards. To investigate the wind characteristics of flat and mountainous terrain, two topographic models are tested in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The wind characteristics, including the vertical and horizontal mean wind speed distributions, the turbulence intensity, and the wind power spectra, are presented. They are investigated intensively in present study with the discussions on the effect of wind direction and the effect of topography. It is indicated that for flat terrain, the wind direction has negligible effect on the wind characteristics, however, the assumption of a homogenous wind field for the mountainous terrain is not applicable. Further, the non-homogeneous wind field can be defined based on a proposed approach if the wind tunnel test or on-site measurement is performed. The calculated turbulence intensities and wind power spectra by using the measured wind speeds are also given. It is shown that for the mountainous terrain, engineers should take into account the variability of the wind characteristics for design considerations.

A purpose of this research is to develope the calculation methods of design input seismic loads, Where, calculation methods are ; (1) Considering different recurrence period of earthquakes which was proposed by ATC 14. (2) Using earthquake records which was modified Korean codes. Responce spectra that was adopted by codes has an estimated recurrence interval of 500 years, with approximately a 90 percent probability of not being exceeded in 50 years. But If we considered the life-time of existing buildings in some cases, response spectra be modified with return period of earthquakes. If we be design highrise and irregular buildings, dynamic analysis method that use time history records should be used. But in Korea, time history records of earthquakes was very few. Therefore to use foreign countries's earthquake record, it is need to select of records considered Korean coeds. As a results, this study propose a calculation method of seismic design input loads that considered return period of earthquakes and also propose using method of earthquakes.

A two-level displacement-based design procedure is developed. To obtain the displacement demands, elastic spectra for occasional earthquakes and inelastic spectra for rare earthquakes are used. Minimum global stiffness and strength to be supplied to the structure are based on specified maximum permissible drift limits and on the condition that the structure responds within the elastic range for occasional earthquakes. The performance of the structure may be assessed by an inelastic push-over analysis to the required displacement and the evaluation of damage indices. The approach is applied to the design of a five-story reinforced concrete coupled wall structure located in the most hazardous seismic region of Argentina. The inelastic dynamic response of the structure subjected to real and artificially generated acceleration time histories is also analyzed. Finally, advantages and limitations of the proposed procedure from the conceptual point of view and practical application are discussed.

This study describes a generation of artificial earthquake wane compatible with seismic design spectrum. In seismic response analysis of building structures, the input ground accelerations have considerable effect on dynamic characteristics of structures. Therefore, it is important to properly select input ground motions for seismic response analysis. In this paper, the artificial earthquake wave are generated according to previously recorded earthquake waves in past earthquake events. The artificial wave have identical phase angles to the recorded earthquake wane, and their overall response spectra are compatible with seismic design spectrum with 5% of critical viscous damping. Each simulated earthquake wave has a identical phase angles to the original recorded ground acceleration, and match to design response spectra in the range of period from 0.02 to 10.0 seconds. It is concluded that the artificial earthquake waves simulated in this paper ate applicable as input ground motions for a seismic response analysis of building structures.

A new method of X-ray source spectrum estimation based on compressed sensing is proposed in this paper. The algorithm K-SVD is applied for sparse representation. Nonnegative constraints are added by modifying the L₁ reconstruction algorithm proposed by Rosset and Zhu. The estimation method is demonstrated on simulated spectra typical of mammography and CT. X-ray spectra are simulated with the Monte Carlo code Geant4. The proposed method is successfully applied to highly ill conditioned and under determined estimation problems with a good performance of suppressing noises. Results with acceptable accuracies (MSE < 5%) can be obtained with 10% Gaussian white noises added to the simulated experimental data. The biggest difference between the proposed method and the existing methods is that multiple prior knowledge of X-ray spectra can be included in one dictionary, which is meaningful for obtaining the true X-ray spectrum from the measurements.

The dynamic structural responses are sensitive to the time-frequency content of seismic waves, and seismic input motions in time-history analysis are usually required to be compatible with design response spectra according to nuclear codes. In order to generate spectra-compatible input motions while maintaining the intrinsic non-stationarity of seismic waves, an improved time-domain approach is proposed in this paper. To maintain the nonstationary characteristics of the given seismic waves, a new time-frequency envelope function is constructed using the Hilbert amplitude spectrum. Based on the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) obtained from given seismic waves through variational mode decomposition, a new corrective time history is constructed to locally modify the given seismic waves. The proposed corrective time history and time-frequency envelope function are unique for each earthquake records as they are extracted from the given seismic waves. In addition, a dimension reduction iterative technique is presented herein to simultaneously superimpose corrective time histories of all the damping ratios at a specific frequency in the time domain according to optimal weights, which are found by the genetic algorithm (GA). Examples are presented to show the capability of the proposed approach in generating spectra-compatible time histories, especially in maintaining the nonstationary characteristics of seismic records. And numerical results reveal that the modified time histories generated by the proposed method can obtain similar dynamic behaviors of AP1000 nuclear power plant with the natural seismic records. Thus, the proposed method can be efficiently used in the design practices.
