지진에 대한 사면 재해도 작성 시 일반적으로 Newmark 활동블록 이론에 기초한 변위 추정식이 사용된다. 하지만 기존에 제안된 추정식들은 활동면에서의 동적 응답을 고려하지 않고 제방, 흙댐, 매립지 등 비교적 완만한 경사의 지반구조물을 대상으로 제안되었으며 산사면과 같이 경사진 기반암에 토사층이 피복된 경우에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 산사면의 지형적 특성을 모사한 2차원 비선형 동적해석을 수행하여 이의 동적 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 지진 시 산사면의 영구변위는 활동면에서 계산된 등가가속도를 Newmark 활동블록 방법에 적용하여 계산하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 영구변위는 본 연구에서 제안된 간편 변위 추정식과 비교하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 검토 결과, 산사면의 기하학적 증폭은 입력 지진의 세기와 주기, 토층의 고유주기에 영향을 크게 받으므로 이를 고려하지 않는 기존의 경험식은 영구변위를 정확하게 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 변위 예측식의 정확도는 최대지반가속도, 최대지반속도, Arias 진도, 평균주기와 토층의 고유주기가 고려될 경우 현격하게 향상되는 것으로 분석되었으며 이를 기반으로 하여 새로운 변위추정식이 제시되었다. 나아가 본 연구에 제안된 변위추정식은 산사태 재해 위험도 예측에 적용되어 정확성이 검증되었다.

Visco-Plastic Damper (VPD) as a passive energy dissipation device with dual behavior has been recently numerically studied. It consists of two bent steel plates and segments with a viscoelastic solid material in between, combining and improving characteristics of both displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices. In order to trust the performance of VPD, for the 1st time this paper experimentally investigates prototype damper behavior under a wide range of frequency and amplitude of dynamic loading. A high-axial damping rubber is innovatively proposed as the viscoelastic layer designed to withstand large axial strains and dissipate energy accordingly. Test results confirmed all assumptions about VPD. The behavior of VPD subjected to low levels of excitation is elastic while with increasing levels of excitation, a significant source of energy dissipation is provided through the yielding of the steel elements in addition to the viscoelastic energy dissipation. The results showed energy dissipation of 99.35 kN.m under a dynamic displacement with 14.095 mm amplitude and 0.333 Hz frequency. Lateral displacement at the middle of the device was created with an amplification factor obtained ranging from 2.108 to 3.242 in the rubber block. Therefore, the energy dissipation of viscoelastic material of VPD was calculated 18.6 times that of the ordinary viscoelastic damper.

고속철도는 고속으로 이동하는 일련의 이동질량효과를 일으켜 교량에 동적인 처짐을 일으킨다. 이러한 이동질량의 동적효과는 동일한 크기의 정적하중이 작용했을때에 비해 교량내부에 큰 응력을 발생시키고, 이때 발생하는 상반응력은 피로의 문제를 야기시켜 교량의 수명을 단축시킬수 있으며 과도한 응력은 교량의 안전에도 영향를 줄 수 있다. 그러나 지금까지 교량의 설계는 정적인 개념으로 되어왔는데, 예를 들면 동적인 영향을 고려하는데 단순히 정적하중에다 충격계수를 곱해준다. 그러나 충격계수의 고려는 단순하므로 동적인 거동에 영향을 미치는 모든 요소를 다 고려할 수는 없다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 고속철도의 이동질량 모형을 연구하여 이를 컴퓨터 모의 기법을 통해 해석하여 교량에 미치는 복잡한 동적 거 동특성을 제시하였다.

Ratcheting is the cyclic buildup of inelastic strain on a structure resulting from a combination of primary and secondary cyclic stress. It can lead to excessive plastic deformation, incremental collapse, or fatigue. Ratcheting has been numerically investigated on a cantilever beam, considering the current study's primary and secondary bending loads. In addition, the effect of input frequency on the onset of ratcheting has been investigated. The non-linear dynamic elastic-plastic approach has been utilized. Analogous to Yamashita's bending-bending ratchet diagram, a non-dimensional ratchet diagram with a frequency effect is proposed. The result presents that the secondary stress values fall sequentially with the increase of primary stress values. Moreover, a displacement amplification factor graph is also established to explain the effect of frequency on ratchet occurrence conditions. In terms of frequency effect, it has been observed that the lower frequency (0.25 times the natural frequency) was more detrimental for ratchet occurrence conditions than the higher frequency (2 times the natural frequency) due to the effect of dynamic displacement. Finally, the effect of material modeling of ratcheting behavior on a beam is shown using different hardening coefficients of kinematic hardening material modeling.

A simplified approach of assessing torsionally balanced (TB) and torsionally unbalanced (TU) low-medium rise buildings of up to 30 m in height is presented in this paper for regions of low-to-moderate seismicity. The Generalised Force Method of Analysis for TB buildings which is illustrated in the early part of the paper involves calculation of the deflection profile of the building in a 2D analysis in order that a capacity diagram can be constructed to intercept with the acceleration-displacement response spectrum diagram representing seismic actions. This approach of calculation on the planar model of a building which involves applying lateral forces to the building (waiving away the need of a dynamic analysis and yet obtaining similar results) has been adapted for determining the deflection behaviour of a TU building in the later part of the paper. Another key original contribution to knowledge is taking into account the strong dependence of the torsional response behaviour of the building on the periodic properties of the applied excitations in relation to the natural periods of vibration of the building. Many of the trends presented are not reflected in provisions of major codes of practices for the seismic design of buildings. The deflection behaviour of the building in response to displacement controlled (DC) excitations is in stark contrast to behaviour in acceleration controlled (AC), or velocity controlled (VC), conditions, and is much easier to generalise. Although DC conditions are rare with buildings not exceeding 30 m in height displacement estimates based on such conditions can be taken as upper bound estimates in order that a conservative prediction of the displacement profile at the edge of a TU building can be obtained conveniently by the use of a constant amplification factor to scale results from planar analysis.

A cantilever deflection measurement system for AFM(atomic force microscope) was constructed by the laser deflection method using LEP type PSD. Design process including sensitivity analysis was presented and the performance of the system was demonstrated by several experiments using a sample specimen with 50nm-step on the surface. The measured displacement-amplification-factor showed good agreement with the expected one with about 8% deviation. The step height measurement data were compared to what were acquired by commercial AFM, and the result showed that there were about 5nm-deviation between the two data. These results satisfies our expectation in the stage of system design.

동시베리아 지역에 분포하는 영구 동토층의 두께는 평균적으로 200~500m이며, 기온에 따라 지반물성이 변화하는 계절동토층이 지역에 따라 지표면에서 약 0~4m까지 형성되어 있다. 계절 동토의 전단파 속도는 흙의 종류에 따라 여름에는 약 80m/s에서 겨울철 동결상태에서는 약 1500m/s까지 크게 변이한다. 융해시 계절 동토층과 하부의 영구 동토층 사이의 전단파 속도 차이 때문에 매우 큰 임피던스가 발생하고 이로 인해 지진파가 증폭될 수 있다. 특히, 경계면에서 큰 변위가 발생할 수 있으므로 내진설계 시 이의 영향을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 계절 동토층의 두께와 전단파 속도 변화에 따른 영향이 지반 증폭특성 및 지반변형에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 1차원 등가정적 지반응답해석을 수행하였다. 동시베리아의 Yakutsk와 Chara 지역에 대한 지질보고서를 바탕으로 지반주상도를 선정하였으며 입력지진파의 영향을 증명하기 위해 총 20개의 계측지진파를 사용하였다. 계절 동토층의 두께가 증가할수록 증폭현상이 크게 발생하였으며, 계절동토층과 영구 동토층 사이의 전단파 속도 차이가 클수록 증폭계수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 동시베리아 지역에 넓게 분포되어 있는 유기질토인 토탄은 증폭에 큰 영향을 미치므로 설계시 이를 반드시 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper aims to evaluate the behavior of Dorim-Goh bridge in Seoul, Korea, under static and dynamic loads effects by ambient trucks. The prestressed concrete (PSC) girders and reinforcement concrete (RC) slab of the bridge are evaluated and assessed. A short period monitoring system is designed which comprises displacement, strain and accelerometer sensors to measure the bridge performance under static and dynamic trucks loads. The statistical analysis is used to assess the static behavior of the bridge and the wavelet analysis and probabilistic using Weibull distribution are used to evaluate the frequency and reliability of the dynamic behavior of the bridge. The results show that the bridge is safe under static and dynamic loading cases. In the static evaluation, the measured neutral axis position of the girders is deviated within 5% from its theoretical position. The dynamic amplification factor of the bridge girder and slab are lower than the design value of that factor. The Weibull shape parameters are decreased, it which means that the bridge performance decreases under dynamic loads effect. The bridge girder and slab's frequencies are higher than the design values and constant under different truck speeds.

Previous studies have shown that pile-soil interactions have significant influences on the isolation efficiency of an isolated structure. However, most of the existing tests were carried out using a 1-g shaking table, which cannot reproduce the soil stresses resulting in distortion of the simulated pile-soil interactions. In this study, a centrifuge shaking table modelling of the seismic responses of a friction pendulum bearing isolated structure with a pile foundation under earthquakes were conducted. The pile foundation structure was designed and constructed with a scale factor of 1:100. Two layers of the foundation soil, i.e., the bottom layer was made of plaster and the upper layer was normal soil, were carefully prepared to meet the similitude requirement. Seismic responses, including strains, displacement, acceleration, and soil pressure were collected. The settlement of the soil, sliding of the isolator, dynamic amplification factor and bending moment of the piles were analysed to reveal the influence of the soil structure interaction on the seismic performance of the structure. It is found that the soil rotates significantly under earthquake motions and the peak rotation is about 0.021 degree under 24.0 g motions. The isolator cannot return to the initial position after the tests because of the unrecoverable deformation of the soil and the friction between the curved surface of the slider and the concave plate.

To study the evaluation standard and control limit of mortar filling layer void length, in this paper, the train sub-model was developed by MATLAB and the track-bridge sub-model considering the mortar filling layer void was established by ANSYS. The two sub-models were assembled into a train-track-bridge coupling dynamic model through the wheel-rail contact relationship, and the validity was corroborated by the coupling dynamic model with the literature model. Considering the randomness of fastening stiffness, mortar elastic modulus, length of mortar filling layer void, and pier settlement, the test points were designed by the Box-Behnken method based on Design-Expert software. The coupled dynamic model was calculated, and the support vector regression (SVR) nonlinear mapping model of the wheel-rail system was established. The learning, prediction, and verification were carried out. Finally, the reliable probability of the amplification coefficient distribution of the response index of the train and structure in different ranges was obtained based on the SVR nonlinear mapping model and Latin hypercube sampling method. The limit of the length of the mortar filling layer void was, thus, obtained. The results show that the SVR nonlinear mapping model developed in this paper has a high fitting accuracy of 0.993, and the computational efficiency is significantly improved by 99.86%. It can be used to calculate the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system. The length of the mortar filling layer void significantly affects the wheel-rail vertical force, wheel weight load reduction ratio, rail vertical displacement, and track plate vertical displacement. The dynamic response of the track structure has a more significant effect on the limit value of the length of the mortar filling layer void than the dynamic response of the vehicle, and the rail vertical displacement is the most obvious. At 250 km/h - 350 km/h train running speed, the limit values of grade I, II, and III of the lengths of the mortar filling layer void are 3.932 m, 4.337 m, and 4.766 m, respectively. The results can provide some reference for the long-term service performance reliability of the ballastless track-bridge system of HRS.
