This paper presents the results of finite element analysis on the seismic response of a soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall subjected to a prescribed earthquake record. The results of finite element analysis indicate that the maximum wall displacement occurs at the top, exhibiting a cantilever type of wall movement. Also revealed is that the increase in reinforcement force is more pronounced in the upper part of the reinforced zone, resulting in a more or less uniform distribution. None of the design guidelines appears to be able to correctly predict the dynamic force increase when compared with the results of finite element analysis. The calculation model adopted by the NCMA guideline, however, appears to compare better with the results of finite element analysis as well as field survey than the FHWA guideline. Based on the findings from this study, a number of implications to the current design methods are discussed.

Also revealed is that the increase in reinforcement force is more pronounced in the upper part of the reinforced zone, resulting in a more or less uniform distribution. None of the design guidelines appears to be able to correctly predict the dynamic force increase when compared with the results of finite element analysis. The results demonstrated that there exist critical stiffness and length of reinforcement beyond which further increase would not contribute to additional reinforcing effect. Based on the findings from this study, a number of implications to the current design methods are discussed.

This paper presents a time domain method for soil-structure interaction analysis for seismic loadings. It is based on the finite element formulation incorporating analytical frequency-dependent infinite elements for the far-field soil. The dynamic stiffness matrices of the far-field region formulated in frequency domain using the present method can be easily transformed into the corresponding matrices in time domain. Hence the response can be analytical computed in time domain. Example analysis has been carried out to verify the present method for an embedded block in a multi-layered half-space. The present methods can be easily extended to the nonlinear analysis since the response analysis is carried out in time domain.

구조물의 내진설계 또는 내진성능평가를 위해서는 구조물의 축소모형을 이용한 실험적 분석이나 유한요소모델을 기반으로 한 수치적 방법이 고려된다. 수치적 방법을 위해서는 정교한 모델링이 요구될 경우 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하나 민감도 분석이나 지진 취약도 분석과 같은 방대한 지진데이터를 이용한 평가에서는 집중질량모델이 선호된다. 하지만 기존의 집중질량모델은 일반적으로 구조물의 기하학적 형상을 고려하여 집중질량을 산출하는 방식인데, 이 경우 제공되는 고유치는 실구조물의 고유치와 일치하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하고 실구조물과 유사한 동적 거동을 발현하는 새로운 형식의 주파수 순응형 집중질량모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 실구조물의 고유치와 고유 벡터, 모드 형상 등을 고려하여 생성하며, 모델의 성능을 검증하기 위해 비균일 단면을 갖는 기둥에 대해 동적해석을 수행하였다. 또한 감쇠비에 따른 동적성능을 분석하기 위해 1%에서 5%까지의 Rayleigh Damping 적용하여 그 결과를 유한요소모델 결과와 비교하였다.

최근 지반물리탐사기술은 자원조사분야에서뿐 만 아니라 토목공학분야에서도 활용빈도가 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 기술을 토목기술자들이 활용하는 경우 물리탐사기법의 기본원리와 기술적 한계를 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 타원체의 성질을 이용한 3차원 구조보정기법을 이용해 터널내 탄성파탐사(TSP)로부터 터널막장 전방에 위치한 파쇄대의 기하형상 즉, 터널축과 파쇄대간의 사이각 및 경사 등을 파악하는 기법에 관하여 기술하였다. 또한, TSP 시험을 모사하는 수치해석을 최적으로 수행하기 위하여 매개변수분석을 수행하였다. 즉, 수치해석의 안정성과 정확성을 도모하는 최적의 요소크기, 해석시간간격 및 발파진원의 동적특성 등에 대하여 연구하였다. 터널과 파쇄대를 포함한 임의의 지반을 모델화하여 수행한 예제해석으로부터 터널막장 전방에 위치한 파쇄대의 3차원적 기하형상을 타원체의 성질을 이용한 3차원구조보정기법에 의하여 적절한 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 2주탑 콘크리트 사장교를 모델링하고 취약부재에 대한 비탄성 시간이력해석 결과들로부터 설계기준과 재료특성을 반영한 취약도 분석을 수행하여 콘크리트 사장교에 적합한 취약도 분석을 제시하고자 한다. 사장교의 지진 취약도 곡선을 작성하기 위해 사장교의 주요 취약부재에 대한 한계상태를 결정하고 비탄성 시간이력해석에 의한 응답값과 비교하여 손상상태를 구분한다. 입력지반운동에 대한 취약부위들의 동적응답이 각 구조부재의 한계상태를 초과할 손상확률을 최대지반가속도(PGA)에 대해 구함으로써 사장교의 지진 취약도 곡선을 작성하였다. 주탑의 취약도 곡선에 의하면 0.5g에서 보통손상상태의 확률이 교축방향의 경우 32%인데 반해 교축직각방향의 경우 7%로 나타나 동일 PGA에서 교축직각방향에 비해 교축방향의 손상확률이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연결부의 지진 취약도 곡선을 보면 심한 손상상태의 손상확률이 다른 부재에 비해 매우 높은 수준을 보였는데 이는 지진에 의한 연결부의 손상이 주탑과 케이블의 손상에 비해 매우 민감하다는 것을 의미한다. 케이블의 지진 취약도 곡선에서는 보통손상상태 등급 이후의 손상확률이 점차 낮아져 완전손상상태에 이를 확률은 2.0g의 큰 지진에서도 30%미만의 확률을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

The main objective of seismic codes is to prevent structural collapse and ensure life safety. Collapse probability of a structure is usually assessed by making a series of analytical model assumptions. This paper investigates the effect of finite element modeling (FEM) assumptions on the estimated collapse capacity of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame building and points out the modeling limitations. Widely used element formulations and hysteresis models are considered in the analysis. A full-scale, three-story RC frame building was utilized as the experimental model. Alternative finite element models are established by adopting a range of different modeling strategies. Using each model, the collapse capacity of the structure is evaluated via Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA). Results indicate that the analytically estimated collapse capacities are significantly sensitive to the utilized modeling approaches. Furthermore, results also show that models that represent stiffness degradation lead to a better correlation between the actual and analytical responses. Results of this study are expected to be useful for in developing proper models for assessing the collapse probability of RC frame structures.

Numerical modeling was conducted to estimate the amount of dislocation that may occur across a frictionless fracture during an earthquake using commercial code FLAC3D (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions). The applied motion was calculated to represent a Richter 6.0 magnitude earthquake at distances of 2 km from the fracture. The velocity-time history was generated from Svensk $K{\ddot{a}}arnbr{\ddot{a}}anslehantering$ AB report. In the report, The velocity field resulting from an earthquake on a fault located in the near-field (2 km distance) was modelled using a finite difference program, WAVE. The stress-time history was substituted for velocity-time history to perform dynamic analysis using FLAC3D. During the earthquake, the maximum dislocation and change of shear stress were about 1 cm and 2MPa, respectively. Because the fracture is frictionless in this study, all dislocations relax to zero after the earthquake motions have ceased.

To provide a simplified method for the base isolation design of LNG tanks, such as $16{\times}104m^3$ LNG tanks, we conducted a derivation and calculation example analysis of the dynamic response of the base isolation of LNG storage tanks, using dynamic response analysis theory with consideration of pile-soil interaction. The ADINA finite element software package was used to conduct the numerical simulation analysis, and compare it with the theoretical solution. The ground-shaking table experiment of LNG tank base isolation was carried out simultaneously. The results show that the pile-soil interaction is not obvious under the condition of base isolation. Comparing base isolation to no isolation, the seismic response clearly decreases, but there is less of an effect on the shaking wave height after adopting pile top isolation support. This indicates that the basic isolation measures cannot control the wave height. A comparison of the shaking table experiment with the finite element solution and the theoretical solution shows that the finite element solution and theoretical solution are feasible. The three experiments are mutually verified.

Global or partial damage to a structure due to the failure of gravity or lateral load-bearing elements is called progressive collapse. In the present study, the alternate load path (ALP) method introduced by GSA and UFC 4-023-03 guidelines is used to evaluate the progressive collapse in special steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) buildings. It was assumed that the progressive collapse is due to the earthquake force and its effects after the removal of the elements still remain on the structures. Therefore, nonlinear dynamic time history analysis employing 7 earthquake records is used to investigate this phenomenon. Internal and external column removal scenarios are investigated and the stiffness of the connections is changed from semi-rigid to rigid. The results of the analysis performed in the OpenSees program show that the loss of the bearing capacity of an exterior column due to a seismic event and the occurrence of progressive collapse can increase the inter-story drift of the structure with semi-rigid connections by more than 50% and make the structure unable to satisfy the life safety performance level. Furthermore, connection stiffness severely affects the redistribution of forces and moments in the adjacent elements of the removed column.
