비선형 구조계의 확률론적 지진해석 방법 중 대표적인 것은 지진 재해도 수준에 해당하는 입력지반운동 모델을 사용한 시간이력을 수행하여 그 응답의 확률분포를 예측하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 널리 사용되고 있는 두 가지 입력지반운동 모델에 따른 구조계 응답의 분포특성 및 파손확률의 차이와 그 원인을 분석한다 입력지반운동 모델로는 실제 지진기록을 배율 조정하여 사용하는 배율조정 입력지반운동과 설계 응답스펙트럼에 상응하는 인공 지진기록을 사용하는 스펙트럼 맞춤 입력지반운동 두 가지를 고려한다. 동일한 지진재해도 수준을 고려한 해석결과 설계 응답스펙트럼에 상응하는 인공 지진기록을 사용한 입력지반운동 모델은 실제 지진기록을 배율 조정한 입력지반운동 모델보다 평균적으로 응답을 크게 평가하였고 이로 인해 파손확률 또한 더 큰 것으로 나타났다 이러한 경향은 연약한 지반에서 더욱 현저한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 입력지반운동 모델에 따른 파손확률의 차이는 스펙트럼 맞춤 입력지반운동의 목표로 사용된 도로교 설계기준의 설계 응답스펙트럼이 실제 지진기록의 응답스펙트럼보다 장주기로 갈수록 응답을 크게 평가하도록 보수적으로 만들어졌기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

Evaluating stiffness of near-surface materials has been one of the critically important tasks in many civil engineering works. It is the main goal of geotechnical characterization. The so-called deflection-response method evaluates the stiffness by measuring stress-strain behavior of the materials caused by static or dynamic load. This method, however, evaluates the overall stiffness and the stiffness variation with depth cannot be obtained. Furthermore, evaluation of a large-area geotechnical site by this method can be time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to many surface points of the site. Wave-propagation method, on the other hand, measures seismic velocities at different depths and stiffness profile (stiffness change with depth) can be obtained from the measured velocity data. The stiffness profile is often expressed by shear-wave (S-wave) velocity change with depth because S-wave velocity is proportional to the shear modulus. that is a direct indicator of stiffiiess. The crosshole and downhole method measures the seismic velocity by placing sources and receivers (geophones) at different depths in a borehole. Requirement of borehole installation makes this method also time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to the sites. Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method places both source and receivers at the surface, and records horizontally-propagating surface waves. Based upon the theory of surfacewave dispersion, the seismic velocities at different depths are calculated by analyzing the recorded surface-wave data. This method can be nondestructive to the sites. However, because only two receivers are used, the method requires multiple measurements with different field setups and, therefore, the method often becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore. the inclusion of noise wavefields cannot be handled properly, and this may cause the results by this method inaccurate. When multi-channel recording method is employed during the measurement of surface-waves, there are several benefits. First, usually single measurement is enough because multiple number (twelve or more) of receivers are used. Second, noise inclusion can be detected by coherency checking on the multi-channel data and handled properly so that it does not decrease the accuracy of the result. Third, various kinds of multi-channel processing techniques can be applied to f1lter unwanted noise wavefields and also to analyze the surface-wavefields more accurately and efficiently. In this way, the accuracy of the result by the method can be significantly improved. Fourth, the entire system of source, receivers, and recording-processing device can be tied into one unit, and the unit can be pulled by a small vehicle, making the survey speed very fast. In all these senses, multi-channel recording of surface waves is best suited for a routine method for geotechnical characterization in most of civil engineering works.

본 연구에서는 R/C 골조구조물에 대한 내진성능개선 방법으로서, 벽식 마찰 감쇄기 모델을 새롭게 제안하였다. 기존의 감쇄 장치가 일반적으로 브레이스 부재 형태를 취하고 있으나, 브레이스형 감쇄장치는 시공상 강골조구조물에는 적용하기 용이한 반면 R/C 골조구조물에 적용 시에는 R/C 구조부재와 감쇄기간의 연결 문제, 감쇄기와 R/C 부재 연결부에서의 응력집중으로 인한 R/C 구조부재의 파손 우려 등의 단점이 있다. 제안된 감쇄기는 감쇄기 연결부의 R/C 구조부재 파손 및 구조물의 P-Δ효과를 줄이는데 장점을 가지면서 감쇄기로서의 역할을 발휘하도록 한 테프론 슬라이더와 R/C 전단벽 조합형 감쇄기이다. 제안된 감쇄기의 내진성능개선 능력을 평가하기 위하여, 감쇄기의 수치모델을 고려한 R/C 골조구조물의 비선형 동적해석 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 지진하중이 작용하는 기존의 10층 3경간 R/C 골조구조물에 본 감쇄기를 적용한 수치해석 결과, 시간이력거동 및 층간변위의 억제에서 탁월한 제어효과를 나타내었으며, 저층 기둥 부재의 소성힌지 발생 및 구조부재의 손상을 감쇄기의 소산에너지로 억제하여 줌으로서 구조물 내진성능개선에 효과가 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 논문은 안전정지지진에 대한 spacer grid충격하중의 동적특성을 고찰한 것이다. 안전정지지 진 (SSE： Safe Shutodown Earthquake)을 가진력으로 사용하였고 모델로는 가장 긴 15 row의 핵연료집합체 모델을 사용하였다. 외부에서 제공되는 입력데이타의 불확실성을 보상하기 위하여 흔히 사용되는 10%증가된 입력값과, NRC 권고사항인 입력응답스펙트럼의 이동효과의 영향이 평가되었다. 평가대상으로는 spacer grid의 충격력이 사용되었다. 해석결과로서 입력응답 스펙트럼의 이동효과의 영향은 거의 무시할 수 있으나 증가된 입력값의 영향은 spacer grid의 충격력에 큰 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 원자로노심의 동적응답을 위해서는 입력응답 스펙트럼을 이동시키면서 해석할 필요가 없음을 확인하였다.

The structural dynamic behavior and yield strength considering both ductility and strain rate effects are analyzed in this article. For the single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, the relationship between the relative velocity and the strain rate response is deduced and the strain rate spectrum is presented. The ductility factor can be incorporated into the strain rate spectrum conveniently based on the constant-ductility velocity response spectrum. With the application of strain rate spectrum, it is convenient to consider the ductility and strain rate effects in engineering practice. The modal combination method, i.e., square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) method, is employed to calculate the maximum strain rate of the elastoplastic multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system under uniform excitation. Considering the spatially varying ground motions, a new response spectrum method is developed by incorporating the ductility factor and strain rate into the conventional response spectrum method. In order to further analyze the effects of strain rate and ductility on structural dynamic behavior and yield strength, the cantilever beam (one-dimensional) and the triangular element (two-dimensional) are taken as numerical examples to calculate their seismic responses in time domain. Numerical results show that the permanent displacements with and without considering the strain rate effect are significantly different from each other. It is not only necessary in theory but also significant in engineering practice to take the ductility and strain rate effects into consideration.

In this paper, it is aimed to determine the stochastic response of a suspension bridge subjected to spatially varying ground motions considering the geometric nonlinearity. Bosphorus Suspension Bridge built in Turkey and connects Europe to Asia in Istanbul is selected as a numerical example. The spatial variability of the ground motion is considered with the incoherence, wave-passage and site-response effects. The importance of site-response effect which arises from the difference in the local soil conditions at different support points of the structure is also investigated. At the end of the study, mean of the maximum and variance response values obtained from the spatially varying ground motions are compared with those of the specialised cases of the ground motion model. It is seen that each component of the spatially varying ground motion model has important effects on the dynamic behaviour of the bridge. The response values obtained from the general excitation case, which also includes the site-response effect causes larger response values than those of the homogeneous soil condition cases. The variance values calculated for the general excitation case are dominated by dynamic component at the deck and Asian side tower. The response values obtained for the site-response effect alone are larger than the response values obtained for the incoherence and wave-passage effects, separately. It can be concluded that suspension bridges are sensitive to the spatial variability of ground motion. Therefore, the incoherence, the wave-passage and especially the site-response effects should be considered in the stochastic analysis of this type of engineering structures.

Numerous non-destructive tests(NDT) to assess the safety of real structures have been developed. System identification(SI) techniques using dynamic responses and behaviors of structural systems become an outstanding issue of researchers. However the conventional SI techniques are identified to be non-practical to the complex and tall buildings, due to limitation of the availability of an accurate data that is magnitude or location of external loads. In most SI approaches, the information on input loading and output responses must be known. In many cases, measuring the input information may take most of the resources, and it is very difficult to accurately measure the input information during actual vibrations of practical importance, e.g., earthquakes, winds, micro seismic tremors, and mechanical vibration. However, the desirability and application potential of SI to real structures could be highly improved if an algorithm is available that can estimate structural parameters based on the response data alone without the input information. Thus a technique to estimate structural properties of building without input measurement data and using limited response is essential in structural health monitoring. In this study, shaking table tests on three-story plane frame steel structures were performed. Out-put only model analysis on the measured data was performed, and the dynamic properties were inverse analyzed using least square method in time domain. In results damage detection was performed in each member level, which was performed at story level in conventional SI techniques of frequency domain.

1992년 개정된 도로교표준시방서에 최초의 교량내진설계기준이 제정되었다. 하지만 그 이전에 건설된 대부분의 교량구조물은 지진에 대한 고려 없이 설계되어 있으므로 내진성능평가를 수행하여야하며 성능이 부족할 시 내진보강이 필요하다. 현재 도로교의 내진해석은 단순히 구조물의 하중 이상의 강도만을 갖도록 하는 하중기반해석에 근거하고 있으나, 단순한 강도의 비교만을 통해서는 구조물의 성능이 파악되지 않을 수 있으므로 성능평가 대상을 변위로 하는 변위기반해석법인 ADRS방법(Accleration-Displacement Response Spectrum Method)과 시간이력해석법을 이용하여 ADRS방법의 타당성 여부를 판단하고자 한다. 그 결과, 역량스펙트럼법은 하중기반해석에서의 복잡한 동적해석을 피할 수 있어서, 간편하고 신속하게 내진성능을 평가할 수 있으며, 정량적으로 산출된 성능점을 통하여 기존구조물의 내진성능이나 신설 구조물의 목표성능에 대한 설계 검증에 효율적으로 적용이 가능하나 고차 모드의 효과를 고려할 수 없었으며 또한 반복 주기 하중에 의한 구조물의 성능저하를 고려할 수 없는 문제점이 있었다.

In this paper the dynamic behavior of an isolated building subjected to idealized near-fault pulses is investigated. The building is represented with a simple 2-DOF model. Both linear and non-linear behavior of the isolation system is considered. Using dimensional analysis, in conjunction with closed form mathematical idealized pulses, appropriate dimensionless parameters are defined and self-similar curves are plotted on dimensionless graphs, based on which various conclusions are reached. In the linear case, the role of viscous damping is examined in detail and the existence of an optimum value of damping along with its significant variation with the number of half-cycles is shown. In the nonlinear case, where the behavior of the building depends on the amplitude of the excitation, the benefits of dimensional analysis are evident since the influence of the dimensionless 𝚷-terms is easily examined. Special consideration is given to the normalized strength of the non-linear isolation system that appears to play a complex role which greatly affects the response of the 2-DOF. In the last part of the paper, a comparison of the responses to idealized pulses between a linear fixed-base SDOF and the respective isolated 2-DOF with both linear and non-linear damping is conducted and it is shown that, under certain values of the superstructure and isolation system characteristics, the use of an isolation system can amplify both the normalized acceleration and displacement of the superstructure.
