A three-dimensional finite element dynamic analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of reducing cross beams from a simply supported straight P.S.C girder bridge. Two analyses were performed on the P.S.C girder bridge; one with 7 cross beams which is commonly used as current standard, and the other with 3 cross beams. A frequency analysis was conducted first in order to establish the dynamic characteristics of the bridge and determine an appropriate time step to use in the time history analyses. To assess the function and effectiveness of the cross beams, time history analysis was conducted for aforementioned two analysis cases. In the analysis, the complete model was subjected to a loading condition corresponding to the one passing truck loading. Several results of deflection, bending moment and shear forces were compared for two cases. From the analysis results, reduction of cross beams was found to have only a minimum effect on the response of the bridge. The maximum deck slab bending moment was found to decrease. This decrease should result in smaller flexural crack widths in the deck slab, which may lead to an improved deck performance.

Seismic evaluation of a 32-story reinforced concrete framed tube building is performed by checking damageability, safety, and toughness limit states. The evaluation is based on Standard 2800 (Iranian seismic code) which recommends equivalent lateral static force, modal superposition, or time history dynamic analysis methods to be applied. A three dimensional linearly elastic model checked by ambient vibration test results is used for the evaluation. Accelerograms of three earthquakes as well as linearly elastic design response spectra are used for dynamic analysis. Damageability is checked by considering story drift ratios. Safety is evaluated by comparing demands and capacities at the story and element force levels. Finally, toughness is studied in terms of curvature ductility of members. The paper explains the methodology selected and various aspects in detail.

The coupled soil-pile-structure seismic response is recently in the spotlight of researchers because of its extensive applications in the different fields of engineering such as bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and buildings. In this paper, a simple analytical model is developed to evaluate the dynamic performance of seismically isolated bridges considering triple interactions of soil, piles, and bridges simultaneously. Novel expressions are proposed to present the dynamic behavior of pile groups in inhomogeneous soils with various shear modulus along with depth. Both cohesive and cohesionless soil deposits can be simulated by this analytical model with a generalized function of varied shear modulus along the soil depth belonging to an inhomogeneous stratum. The methodology is discussed in detail and validated by rigorous dynamic solution of 3D continuum modeling, and time history analysis of centrifuge tests. The proposed analytical model accuracy is guaranteed by the acceptable agreement between the experimental/numerical and analytical results. A comparison of the proposed linear model results with nonlinear centrifuge tests showed that during moderate (frequent) earthquakes the relative differences in responses of the superstructure and the pile cap can be ignored. However, during strong excitations, the response calculated in the linear time history analysis is always lower than the real conditions with the nonlinear behavior of the soil-pile-bridge system. The current simple and efficient method provides the accuracy and the least computational costs in comparison to the full three-dimensional analyses.

Recently, high-rise building structures connected by a sky-bridge are frequently constructed. To predict accurate dynamic responses of structures connected a sky-bridge, time history analysis is required. Repetitive analyses are required in the design process. If the entire structure model is employed in the repetitive time history analysis, it would take a lot of computational time and engineers' efforts. Therefore, an equivalent model for high-rise building structures connected by a sky-bridge was proposed in this study. The proposed model consists of cantilever having original structure's stiffnesses and masses. Based on the analytical results, it has been shown that the equivalent model can reduce the analysis time and provide similar seismic responses to the original model.

For an accurate and efficient time-dependent Monte Carlo (TDMC) neutron transport analysis, several advanced methods are newly developed and implemented in the Seoul National University Monte Carlo code, McCARD. For an efficient control of the neutron population, a dynamic weight window method is devised to adjust the weight bounds of the implicit capture in the time bin-by-bin TDMC simulations. A moving geometry module is developed to model a continuous insertion or withdrawal of a control rod. Especially, the history-based batch method for the TDMC calculations is developed to predict the unbiased variance of a bin-wise mean estimate. The developed methods are verified for three-dimensional problems in the C5G7-TD benchmark, showing good agreements with results from a deterministic neutron transport analysis code, nTRACER, within the statistical uncertainty bounds. In addition, the TDMC analysis capability implemented in McCARD is demonstrated to search the optimum detector positions for the pulsed-neutron-source experiments in the Kyoto University Critical Assembly and AGN201K.

When some enormous earthquake hazards broke out in the neighboring Japan and Taiwan, many Korean earthquake engineers thought that seismic guidelines must be adjusted safely and economically to consider the moderate earthquake characteristics. In the present aseismic guideline for liquefaction potential assessment, a simplified method using SPT-N value and a detail method based on the dynamic lab-tests were introduced. However, it is said that these methods based on the equivalent stress concept to simplify an irregular earthquake are not reliable to simulate the kaleidoscopical characteristics of earthquake loading correctly. Especially, even though various data from the dynamic lab-test can be obtained, only two data, a maximum cyclic load and a number of cycle at an initial liquefaction are used to determine the soil resistance strength in the detailed method. In this study, a new assessment of liquefaction potential is proposed and verified. In the proposed assessment, various data from dynamic lab-tests are used to determine the unique soil resistance characteristic and a site specific analysis is introduced to analyze the irregular earthquake time history itself. Also, it is found that the proposed assessment is reasonable because it is devised to reflect the changeable soil behavior under dynamic loadings resulted from the generation and development of excess pore water pressure.

건축구조물의 응답스펙트럼 해석법은 주로 내진설계를 위하여 많이 사용되고 있고 시간이력 해석법은 기계, 설비, 사람에 의한 하중 등이 건축물에 가해지는 경우에 많이 사용되고 있다. 응답스펙트럼 해석법과 시간이력해석법을 비교해 보면 시간이력 해석법은 복잡하고 분석이 어려우며 해석에 시간을 많이 필요로 하고 구조물이 복잡해질 경우에는 해석이 어려운 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 응답스펙트럼해석법을 이용하여 기계나 사람에 의한 하중을 받는 건축물 바닥판의 연직응답을 구하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 모드조합에서는 CQC기법을 적용하였으며, 사람의 활동을 중심으로 하중간의 상관관계를 분석하여 해석에 적용하였다. 제안방법은 시간이력해석결과와도 비교하였으며 하중간의 상관계수는 복수의 하중을 받는 바닥판구조물의 응답스펙트럼 해석에 반드시 고려해야 하는 결과를 얻었다.

In recent years, an outrigger damper system has been proposed to reduce dynamic responses of tall buildings. However, a study on outrigger damper system is still in its early stages. In this study, time history analysis was performed to investigate the dynamic response control performance of outrigger damper. To do this, a actual scale 3-dimensional tall building model with outrigger damper system has been developed. El Centro earthquake was applied as an earthquake excitation. The control performance of the outrigger damper system was evaluated by varying stiffness and damping values. Analysis results, on the top floor displacement response to the earthquake load, was greatly effected by damping value. And acceleration response greatly was effected by stiffness value of damper system. Therefore, it is necessary to select that proper stiffness and damping values of the outrigger damper system.

본 논문에서는 한두 부재의 순간적 결손에 따른 동적 거동을 정적해석을 통하여 합리적이고 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 등가정적 연쇄붕괴 해석기법을 제시한다. 제시된 기법은 부재 결손에 따른 구조물 강성 변화 및 순간적 결손에 따른 동적거동 확대 효과를 등가의 하중으로 치환한 강성등가하중을 초기 구조물에 적용하여 해석하는 방법으로서 기둥을 하나씩 제거해 가며 반복해석을 수행해야 하는 연쇄붕괴해석 특성에 매우 효율적이면서도 신뢰성이 높은 장점을 갖는다. 제시한 강성등가하중에 의한 해석결과를 시간이력해석결과 및 GSA에 의한 해석결과와 비교한 결과, 휨모멘트, 축력, 및 수직변위 등의 측면에서 GSA에 의한 해석결과에 비해 시간이력해석결과에 상당히 근접하는 결과를 나타냈다. 이를 통해 강성등가 하중에 의한 해석기법이 GSA에 의한 정적해석방법을 대체하는 새로운 정적해석기법으로서 효용성이 있음을 확인하였다.
