In general, the industrial complex is a place where factories of various industries are concentrated. It is only as efficient as it is designed. However, the risks vary as there are various industries. These features are also associated with various types of disasters. The dangers of natural disasters such as a typhoon, flood, and earthquake, as well as fire and explosions, are also latent. Many of these risks can make stable production and business activities difficult, resulting in massive direct and indirect damage. In particular, decades after its establishment, the vulnerabilities increase even more as aging and small businesses are considered. In this sense, it is significant to assess the vulnerability of the industrial complex. Thus analysing fire and explosion hazards as stage 1 of the vulnerability evaluation for the major potential disasters for the industrial complex. First, fire vulnerabilities were analyzed quantitatively. It is displayed in blocks for each company. The assessment block status and the fire vulnerability rating status were conducted by applying the five-step criteria. Level A is the highest potential risk step and E is the lowest step. Level A was 11.8% in 20 blocks, level B was 22.5% in 38 blocks, level C was 25.4% in 43 blocks, level D was 26.0% in 44 blocks, and level E was 14.2% in 24 blocks. Levels A and B with high fire vulnerabilities were analyzed at 34.3%. Secondly, the vulnerability for an explosion was quantitatively analyzed. Explosive vulnerabilities were analyzed at 4.7% for level A with 8 blocks, 3.0% for level B with 5, 1.8% for level C with 3, 4.7% for level D with 8, and 85.8% for level E with 145. Levels A and B, which are highly vulnerable to explosions, were 7.7 %. Thirdly, the overall vulnerability can be assessed by adding disaster vulnerabilities to make future assessments. Moreover, it can also assist in efficient safety and disaster management by visually mapping quantified data. This will also be used for the integrated control center of the N-Industrial Complex, which is currently being installed.

사질토로 구성된 지반은 점토로 구성된 지반에 비해 배수 및 강도면에서 우수하다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 느슨한 사질토 지반의 경우 지진하중과 같은 급속하중이 가해지면 전단력을 상실하고 유체와 같은 거동을 하는 액상화가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사질토의 액상화현상을 재료의 역학적 거동특성의 관점에서 접근하는 연구를 수행하였다. 재료의 역학적 거동특성에 기초한 개념으로써 소산에너지 개념에 기초를 하고 있는 에너지법과 토폐의 연화응답(softening response)에 대한 구성방정식을 기초로 하는 교란상태개념(disturbed state concept , DSC)을 이용한 방법을 액상화에 대한 해석에 적용하였다. 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 수행한 다양한 상대밀도에 대한 진동삼축시험결과를 해석에 적용하였다. 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 한 진동삼축시험결과는 다른 조건이 동일한 경우 상대밀도가 증가함에 따라 액상화 발생에 요구되는 반복하중의 재하회수가 증가하였다. DSC법을 통한 액상화평가 결과, 상대밀도가 증가함에 따라 액상화발생에 요구되는 시료의 교란 또는 증가하였고 소성변형률은 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 이는 시료의 상대밀도가 증가함에 따라 시료는 보다 견고한 상태에 있으며 그로 인해 액상화에 요구되는 시료의 교란도가 보다 크며 소성변형도 감소되는 것으로 판단된다. 에너지법에 의한 액상화평가 결과, 반복하중의 재하시 시료내부 미세구조의 변화에 기인하는 소산에너지는 과잉간극수압과 일정한 함수관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 에너지법에 의한 액상화 발생시기를 시료내부의 소산에너지의 변화가 가장 급격한 시기로 제안하였으며, 이를 통한 해석결과는 시험결과와 비교해 볼 때 타당성있는 결과를 보여주었다. DSC법에 소개된 액상화발생시기의 판정방법과 본 연구에서 제시한 에너지법에 의한 액상화발생 시기의 판정방법을 시험결과를 통해 검증한 결과 신뢰할 말한 결과를 보여주고 있으며. 이를 통해 포화사질토에 대한 합리적인 액상화판정의 수행이 가능하다고 판단된다.

과거의 많은 지진 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이 액상화 현상은 부등침하를 일으키고 심한 경우 건물 파괴, 지반 함몰과 같은 심각한 피해를 유발한다. 연구지역인 부산광역시 인근에는 지진발생 가능성이 높은 단층들이 분포하며 양산단층, 동래단층, 일광단층이 도심지를 통과하고 있다. 또한 최근 발생한 경주, 포항, 일본 구마모토 지진의 영향권 내에 위치하며, 도시 내 넓은 단층곡을 따라서 두꺼운 제4기 미고결 충적층이 발달하고 해안 지역에는 해빈 퇴적물과 함께 매립지가 넓게 분포한다. 따라서 부산광역시 인근에서 대형 지진이 발생할 경우 도심지 내에 액상화로 인한 큰 피해가 예상되어, 도시 전 지역을 대상으로 지진재현주기별 액상화 발생 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 지진재현주기에 따라 정도의 차이는 존재하나 낙동강 하구 평야지대와 부산만, 수영만, 송정역 일대에서 액상화 발생 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 짧은 지진재현주기일수록 부지주기에 따라 상당히 다른 결과가 도출된 반면, 재현주기가 길어질수록 부지주기에 관계없이 그 결과는 비슷한 양상을 보였다.

An attempt is made to analyse characteristic features of heavy rainfalls which occur at the metropolitan area of the Korean peninsular the on- and off- Changma season. For this, two representative heavy rainfall episodes are selected; one is the on-Changma season wherein a torrential rain episode happened at Goyang city on 12 July 2006, and the other is the off-Changma season, a heavy rainfall event in Seoul on 21 September 2006. Both recorded considerable amounts of precipitation, over 250mm in a half-day, which greatly exceeded the amount expected by numerical prediction models at those times, and caused great damage to property and life in the affected area. Similarities in the characteristics of both episodes were shown by; the location of upper-level jet streak and divergence fields of the upper wind over heavy rainfall areas, significantly high equivalent potential temperatures in the low atmospheric layer due to the entrainment of hot and humid air by the low-level jet, and the existence of very dry air and cold air pool in the middle layer of the atmosphere at the peak time of the rainfall events. Among them, differences in dynamic features of the low-level jet and the position of rainfall area along the low-level jet are remarkable.

최근 거대 지진에 의한 쓰나미 발생 확률이 대단히 높다고 경고하고 있다 특히, 항만내의 선박 운용이라는 관점에서, 쓰나미에 의한 막대한 재산 및 인명 피해가 염려되기 때문에 쓰나미에 의한 계류 선박의 영향을 고려하는 것은 대단히 중요한 일이다. 쓰나미가 발생하면 항만 부근에서 입출항중의 선박은 표류를 시작하게 되며, 계류중인 선박도 계류색이 절단되어 표류에 이를 가능성이 높다. 또한, 좌초 및 안벽 충돌 등에 의한 엄청난 사고가 발생할 가능성이 존재한파. 한편, 쓰나미는 수분 정도의 성분파를 포함하고 있기 때문에 계류 선박의 장주기 운동과 공진할 가능성이 높으며, 쓰나미의 유속은 항내에서 발생하는 조류에 비해 대단히 크기 때문에 른 항력이 선박에 작용할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 쓰나미의 내습으로 인한 선박 운동의 관점에서 수치 시뮬레이션 과정을 검토하고, 선박 운동에의 영향 및 계류 하중을 수치실험으로 평가한다.

Inevitable response loss under complex operational conditions significantly affects the integrity and quality of measured data, leading the structural health monitoring (SHM) ineffective. To remedy the impact of data loss, a common way is to transfer the recorded response of available measure point to where the data loss occurred by establishing the response mapping from measured data. However, the current research has yet addressed the structural condition changes afterward and response mapping learning from a small sample. So, this paper proposes a novel data driven structural response reconstruction method based on a sophisticated designed generating adversarial network (UAGAN). Advanced deep learning techniques including U-shaped dense blocks, self-attention and a customized loss function are specialized and embedded in UAGAN to improve the universal and representative features extraction and generalized responses mapping establishment. In numerical validation, UAGAN efficiently and accurately captures the distinguished features of structural response from only 40 training samples of the intact structure. Besides, the established response mapping is universal, which effectively reconstructs responses of the structure suffered up to 10% random stiffness reduction or structural damage. In the experimental validation, UAGAN is trained with ambient response and applied to reconstruct response measured under earthquake. The reconstruction losses of response in the time and frequency domains reached 16% and 17%, that is better than the previous research, demonstrating the leading performance of the sophisticated designed network. In addition, the identified modal parameters from reconstructed and the corresponding true responses are highly consistent indicates that the proposed UAGAN is very potential to be applied to practical civil engineering.

In a tall reinforced concrete (RC) core wall system subjected to strong ground motions, inelastic behavior near the base as well as mid-height of the wall is possible. Generally, the formation of plastic hinge in a core wall system may lead to extensive damage and significant repairing cost. A new configuration of core structures consisting of buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) and RC walls is an interesting idea in tall building seismic design. This concept can be used in the plan configuration of tall core wall systems. In this study, tall buildings with different configurations of combined core systems were designed and analyzed. Nonlinear time history analysis at severe earthquake level was performed and the results were compared for different configurations. The results demonstrate that using enough BRBFs can reduce the large curvature ductility demand at the base and mid-height of RC core wall systems and also can reduce the maximum inter-story drift ratio. For a better investigation of the structural behavior, the probabilistic approach can lead to in-depth insight. Therefore, incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) curves were calculated to assess the performance. Fragility curves at different limit states were then extracted and compared. Mean IDA curves demonstrate better behavior for a combined system, compared with conventional RC core wall systems. Collapse margin ratio for a RC core wall only system and RC core with enough BRBFs were almost 1.05 and 1.92 respectively. Therefore, it appears that using one RC core wall combined with enough BRBF core is an effective idea to achieve more confidence against tall building collapse and the results demonstrated the potential of the proposed system.

The traditional double story isolated structure is a derivative of the base isolated and inter-story isolated structures, while the new double story isolated structure represents a novel variation derived from the traditional double story isolated structure. In order to investigate the seismic response of the new double story isolated structure, a comprehensive structural model was developed. Concurrently, models for the basic fixed, base isolated, inter-story isolated, and traditional double story isolated structures were also established for comparative analysis. The nonlinear dynamic time-history response of the new double story isolated structure under rare earthquake excitations was analyzed. The findings of the study reveal that, in comparison to the basic fixed structure, the new double story isolated structure exhibits superior performance across all evaluated aspects. Furthermore, when compared to the base isolated and inter-story isolated structures, the new double story isolated structure demonstrates significant reductions in inter-story shear force, top acceleration, and inter-frame displacement. The horizontal displacement of the new double story isolated structure is primarily localized within the two isolation layers, effectively dissipating the majority of input seismic energy. In contrast to the traditional double story isolated structure, the new design minimizes displacements within the inter-isolation layer situated in the central part of the frame, as well as mitigates the overturning forces acting on the lower frame column. Consequently, this design ensures the structural integrity of the core tube, thereby preventing potential collapse and structural damage.

Base isolation, one of the popular seismic protection approaches proven to be effective in practical applications, has been widely applied worldwide during the past few decades. As the techniques mature, it has been recognised that, the biggest issue faced in base isolation technique is the challenge of great base displacement demand, which leads to the potential of overturning of the structure, instability and permanent damage of the isolators. Meanwhile, drain, ventilation and regular maintenance at the base isolation level are quite difficult and rather time- and fund- consuming, especially in the highly populated areas. To address these challenges, a number of efforts have been dedicated to propose new isolation systems, including segmental building, additional storey isolation (ASI) and mid-storey isolation system, etc. However, such techniques have their own flaws, among which whipping effect is the most obvious one. Moreover, due to their inherent passive nature, all these techniques, including traditional base isolation system, show incapability to cope with the unpredictable and diverse nature of earthquakes. The solution for the aforementioned challenge is to develop an innovative vibration isolation system to realise variable structural stiffness to maximise the adaptability and controllability of the system. Recently, advances on the development of an adaptive magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE) vibration isolator has enlightened the development of adaptive base isolation systems due to its ability to alter stiffness by changing applied electrical current. In this study, an innovative semi-active storey isolation system inserting such novel MRE isolators between each floor is proposed. The stiffness of each level in the proposed isolation system can thus be changed according to characteristics of the MRE isolators. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm type II (NSGA-II) with dynamic crowding distance (DCD) is utilised for the optimisation of the parameters at isolation level in the system. Extensive comparative simulation studies have been conducted using 5-storey benchmark model to evaluate the performance of the proposed isolation system under different earthquake excitations. Simulation results compare the seismic responses of bare building, building with passive controlled MRE base isolation system, building with passive-controlled MRE storey isolation system and building with optimised storey isolation system.
