Scads of earthquake-resistant systems are being invented around the globe to ensure structural resistance against the lateral forces induced by earthquake loadings considering structural safety, efficiency, and economic aspects. Shear wall and Bracing systems are proved to be two of the most viable solutions for seismic strengthening of structures. In the present study, three numerical models of a G+10 storied building are developed in commercial building analysis software considering shear wall and bracing systems for earthquake resistance. Material nonlinearity is introduced by using plastic hinges. Analyses are performed utilizing two dynamic methods: Response Spectrum analysis and nonlinear Time-history analysis using Kobe and Loma Prieta earthquake data and results are compared to observe the nonlinear behavior of structures. The outcomes exposed that a significant increase in the seismic responses occurs due to the nonlinearity in the building systems. It was also found that building with shear wall exhibits maximum resistance and minimum nonlinearity when subjected to dynamic loadings.

Shake table tests performed on five 1:3 reduced scale two story RC moment resisting frames having construction defects, have shown severe joint damageability in deficient RC frames, resulting in joint panels' cover spalling and core concrete crushing. Haunch retrofitting technique was adopted herein to upgrade the seismic resistance of the deficient RC frames. Additional four deficient RC frames were built and retrofitted with steel haunch; both axially stiffer and deformable with energy dissipation, fixed to the beam-column connections to reduce shear demand on joint panels. The as-built and retrofitted frames' seismic response parameters are calculated and compared to evaluate the viability of haunch retrofitting technique. The haunch retrofitting technique increased the lateral stiffness and strength of the structure, resulting in the increase of structure's overstrength. The retrofitting increased response modification factor R by 60% to 100%. Further, the input excitation PGA was correlated with the lateral roof displacement to derive structure response curve that have shown significant resistance of retrofitted models against input excitations. The technique can significantly enhance the seismic performance of deficient RC frames, particularly against the frequent and rare earthquake events, hence, promising for seismic risk mitigation.

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.

Post-earthquake fire (PEF) can lead to a rapid collapse of buildings that have been partially damaged as a result of a prior earthquake. Almost all standards and codes for the design of structures against earthquake ignore the risk of PEF, and thus buildings designed using those codes could be too weak when subjected to a fire after an earthquake. An investigation based on sequential analysis inspired by FEMA356 is performed here on the immediate occupancy (IO), life safety (LS) and collapse prevention (CP) performance levels of two portal frames, after they are pushed to arrive at a certain level of displacement corresponding to the mentioned performance level. This investigation is followed by a fire analysis of the damaged frames, examining the time taken for the damaged frames to collapse. As a point of reference, a fire analysis is also performed for undamaged frames and before the occurrence of earthquake. The results indicate that while there is minor difference between the fire resistances of the fire-alone situation and the frames pushed to the IO level of performance, a notable difference is observed between the fire-alone analysis and the frames pushed to arrive at LS and CP levels of performance and exposed to PEF. The results also show that exposing only the beams to fire results in a higher decline of the fire resistance, compared to exposing only the columns to fire. Furthermore, the results show that the frames pushed to arrive at LS and CP levels of performance collapse in a global collapse mode laterally, whereas at the IO level of performance and fire-alone situation, the collapse mechanism is mostly local through the collapse of beams. Whilst the investigation is conducted for a certain class of portal frames, the results confirm the need for the incorporation of PEF into the process of analysis and design, and provide some quantitative measures on the level of associated effects.

The friction pendulum type seismic isolation system (FPS) has been developed to provide a simple and effective way to achieve earthquake resistance for buildings . The major advantages are: the isolation frequency can be easily achieved by designing a curvature of the surface and does not depend on the supported weight of a structure. The function of carrying vertical load is separated to the function of providing horizontal stiffness. Next the friction provides sufficient energy dissipation to protect the structure from earthquake response and resistance to the weak external disturbances such as wind load and ground vibrations due to traffic. In this paper, the friction coefficients are evaluated from number of experiments on the FPS test specimens. The relations between friction coefficient and the test waveform, velocity, and pressure are reviewed and further works are discussed.

Liquefaction characteristics of saturated sand under various dynamic loadings such as sinusoidal, wedge, increasing wedge and real earthquake loading are investigated focusing on the excess pore water pressure build up instead of liquefaction resistance strength in this paper. There are large differences between two types of earthquake loading - impact and vibration in liquefaction characteristics. The angle of phase change line of sinusoidal loading is very close to the vibration type, whereas the cumulative deviator stress and cumulative plastic strain are larger than two types of real earthquake loadings. On the other hand, the liquefaction characteristics of increasing wedge loadings are located in the range between vibration and impact earthquake loadings. It is concluded that the sinusoidal loading overestimates the resistance of soil under real earthquake loading. Based on results obtained, the increasing wedge loading can reflect the liquefaction behavior under real earthquake loadings more efficiently than sinusoidal loading based on equivalent uniform stress concept.

내진설계기준은 시설물의 사회적, 경제적 중요성과 구조적 특성이 잘 반영될 수 있도록 설정되어야 한다. 즉 우선적으로 시설물별로 중요성과 특성에 따른 내진설계의 기본적인 원칙이 설정되고 이에 따라 적절한 해석 및 설계, 시공방법이 결정되어야 한다. 한국가스공사의 평택과 인천 및 통영에 있는 가스생산선비들 중 LNG 저장탱크는 원자력 발전소 기준 내진설계가 적용되어 있다. 가스 생산선비 중 저장탱크 다음으로 중요한 시설로는 중앙조정실을 들 수 있다. 중앙조정실에서는 각종 설비의 조작 및 이상유무를 판단하고 조정하는 장비들이 갖추어져 있으므로 지진에 대한 내진설계가 더욱 중요한 곳이다. 이러한 이유로 평택생산기지 중앙조정실의 내진성능을 점검하였고, 그 방법으로 건축물에 적용되고 있는 등가정적 해석법에 의한 내진성능을 평가하였다.

최근 발생한 일본 대지진으로, 지진에 대한 피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 내진 설계의 필요성과 기존 구조물의 성능 향상에 대한 관심이 더욱 증가하고 있다. 사회기반시설물인 교량 등의 손상 붕괴는 사회적 경제적으로 미치는 파급효과가 커 이러한 구조물에 대한 내진성능의 평가가 상당히 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 내진성능에 대한 검토방법들은 결정론적 방법에 의한 것이 대다수로 각각의 부재에 대한 안전성 수준의 평가에는 실용적이지만 전체의 안전성 평가에는 실용적이지 못해 지진에 대한 구조물의 안전성 평가에는 손상단계에 따른 취약성 또는 손상도를 평가하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 탄성마찰포트받침(RFPB)을 사용한 Steel Box 교량에 대하여 지진의 특성인 PGA, PGV, SA, SV, SI 에 대한 손상도 곡선을 구하고, 이를 마찰포트받침(FPB)을 갖는 교량의 손상도곡선과 비교함으로써 두 지진 격리 장치의 성능을 비교 평가하였다.

In this paper, Nonlinear Static Pushover analysis method(NSP) is proposed which apply to RC buildings reinforced by external retrofit for seismic performance. Based on previous analysis and research, NSP is more developed by connection nonlinearity according to shear resistance mechanism such as dowel and adhesive resistance as major shear resistance elements. According to the proposed method, structural analysis for example buildings was carried out to evaluate seismic performance of buildings. And, it was confirmed that depending on shear strain and characteristics of joint resistant of external retrofitting are different from internal retrofitting. Furthermore, the strength reduction coefficient of the anchor needs to be considered at the joint design.

최근 경주지진이 일어나게 되면서 지진의 진동에 의한 구조물의 안정성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 국내 앵커분야의 경우 설계하중에 대한 안정성만 고려하고 있을 뿐 진동에 대한 안정성에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 마찰형 앵커의 경우 시공 중 발생하는 발파진동 등으로 인하여 앵커의 저항능력을 상실한 경우가 종종 보고되고 있다. 이에 반하여 지압형 앵커의 경우 구조적으로 마찰형 앵커에 비하여 진동저항능력이 우수할 것으로 판단되나 이러한 특성에 대한 연구는 거의 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발한 지압형 앵커의 발파진동과 지진에 대한 안정성을 검증하기 위하여 현장시험을 수행하였으며 수치해석을 통하여 내진안정성을 검증하였다. 그 결과 현장시험의 경우에는 마찰형 앵커보다 발파진동에 대한 저항성능이 우수하였으며, 수치해석을 이용한 내진해석의 경우 또한 마찰형 앵커에 비하여 저항성능이 우수한 것으로 분석되었다.
