Non-structural elements, such as equipment, are typically affixed to a building's floor or ceiling and move in tandem with the structure during an earthquake. Seismic forces acting upon non-structural elements traverse the ground and the building's structure. Considering this seismic load transmission mechanism, it becomes imperative to account for the interactions between soil, structure, and equipment, establishing seismic design procedures accordingly. In this study, a Soil-Structure-Equipment Interaction (SSEI) model is developed. Through seismic response analysis using this model, how the presence or absence of SSEI impacts equipment behavior is examined. Neglecting the SSEI aspect when assessing equipment responses results in an overly conservative evaluation of its seismic response. This emphasizes the necessity of proposing an analytical model and design methodology that adequately incorporate the interaction effect. Doing so enables the calculation of rational seismic forces and facilitates the seismic design of non-structural elements.

원자력발전소의 기기, 배관 시스템과 같은 부속구조물의 동적 응답을 먼기 위해 사용되는 층응답스펙트럼은 일반적으로 주구조물과 부속구조물의 동적 상호작용이 반영되지 않고 만들어진다. 본 연구에서는 기기와 구조물의 동적 상호작용이 고려된 해석을 통해 층응답스펙트럼을 생성시키는 해석법을 기술하였다. 이 방법은 기기를 모사하는 단자유도계와 기기가 놓여있는 구조물의 임피던스로 분할되는 부분구조 해석법을 적용하여 기기의 응답을 구한다. 단자유도계의 진동수, 감쇠비 및 질량 특성을 변화시키면서 최대 동적 응답을 계산함으로써 일련의 층응답스펙트럼을 작성한다. 전형적인 원자력발전소의 원자로 구조물에서 본 방법을 고려한 층응답스펙트럼과 기기를 포함한 전체 해석으로부터 작성된 층응답스펙트럼과 비교함으로써 본 연구의 타당성을 확인하였다. 기기-구조물 상호작용 효과를 확인하기 위하여 구조물 질량의 1% 이내인 기기에 대하여 기술된 방법과 기존 방법을 각각 적용하여 최대 응답값을 비교하였다. 그 결과 지배 진동수 부근에서 기기-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 응답이 그렇지 않은 경우인 기존방법의 응답에 비하여 저감되는 현상을 보였다.

Seismic qualification of equipment including piping is performed by using floor response spectra (FRS) or in-structure response spectra (ISRS) as the earthquake input at the base of the equipment. The amplitude of the FRS may be noticeably reduced when obtained from coupling analysis because of interaction between the primary structure and the equipment. This paper introduces a method using a modal synthesis approach to generate the FRS in a coupled primary-secondary system that can avoid numerical instabilities or inaccuracies. The FRS were generated by considering the dynamic interaction that can occur at the interface between the supporting structure and the equipment. This study performed a numerical example analysis using a typical nuclear structure to investigate the coupling effect when generating the FRS. The study results show that the coupling analysis dominantly reduces the FRS and yields rational results. The modal synthesis approach is very practical to implement because it requires information on only a small number of dynamic characteristics of the primary and the secondary systems such as frequencies, modal participation factors, and mode shape ordinates at the locations where the FRS needs to be generated.

Several researches have been studied to enhance the seismic performance of nuclear power plants (NPPs) by application of seismic isolation. If a seismic base isolation system is applied to NPPs, seismic performance of nuclear power plants should be reevaluated considering the soil-structure interaction effect. The seismic fragility analysis method has been used as a quantitative seismic safety evaluation method for the NPP structures and equipment. In this study, the seismic performance of an isolated NPP is evaluated by seismic fragility curves considering the soil-structure interaction effect. The designed seismic isolation is introduced to a containment building of Shin-Kori NPP which is KSNP (Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant), to improve its seismic performance. The seismic analysis is performed considering the soil-structure interaction effect by using the linearized model of seismic isolation with SASSI (System for Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction) program. Finally, the seismic fragility is evaluated based on soil-isolation-structure interaction analysis results.

본 논문에서는 주 구조물 내에 설치된 기기의 지지점에 감진계통을 도입함으로써 지진하중에 대한 기기의 응답감소효과를 연구하였으며, 효율적인 해석을 수행하기 위해 구조물-기기 상호작용 고려 및 축소 행렬방법을 이용한 전산프로그램(KBISAP)을 개발하였다. 지지점에 감전장치가 설치된 기기의 지진하중에 대한 응답감소 효율성을 평가하기 위해 세가지 해석모델, 즉 고정기초구조물 상의 지지점이 고정된 기기, 감진기초구조물 상의 지지점이 고정된 기기 및 고정기초구조물 상의 지지점에 감진계통이 설치된 기기를 채택한 예제해석 결과, 본 논문에서 채택한 방법이 일반적인 고정기초구조물은 물론 감진기초구조물 상에 설치된 기기의 지진하중에 대한 응답감소 보다 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 방법은 기기의 응답감소는 물론 중요한 기기의 안전성 향상에 효과적이다.

In this study, the behavior characteristics of a hydrostatic thrust bearing used in hydraulic equipment was analyzed using a commercial finite element program, ADINA. The solid domain was modeled with the fluid domain simultaneously to solve the fully coupled problem, because this is a problem where a fully coupled analysis is needed in order to model the fluid-structure interaction(FSI). The results such as bearing deformation, stress, film thickness and lifting bearing force were obtained through FSI analysis, and then they were compared with the results calculated from the classical method, a single step sequential analysis. It was found that the result difference between two analyses was increased according to the injection pressure. Therefore, in case of high pressure loading, it is desirable to conduct the FSI analysis to examine the deformation characteristics of a hydrostatic slipper bearing.

Recently continuous welded rail is generally used to ensure running performances and to overcome the problems such as structural vulnerability and fastener damage at the rail expansion joint. Though the use of continuous welded rail on bridge has the advantage of decreasing the vibration and damage of rail, it still the risk of buckling and breaking of rail due to change of temperature, starting and/or breaking force, axial stress concentration and so on. So, VIC code and many methods has been developed by researchers considering rail-bridge interaction. Although there are many research concerning stability of continuous welded rail about temperature change on bridge and starting and/or breaking force, the study of continuous welded mil for earthquake load is still unsufficient. In this study, the nonlinear seismic response analysis of continuous welded rail on bridge considering soil-structure interaction, geotechnical characteristic of foundation and earthquake isolation equipment has been performed to examine the stability of continuous welded rail.

In this paper, the Energy Flow Finite Element Analysis (EFFEA) was performed to predict the acoustic and vibrational responses of complicated plate structures considering improved Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). For this, a new power transfer relationship was derived at the area junction where two different fluids are in contact on both sides of the plate. In order to increase the reliability of EFFEA of complicated plate structures immersed in a high-density fluid, the corrected flexural wavenumber and group velocity considering fluid-loading effect were derived. As the specific acoustic impedance of the fluid in contact with the plate increases, the flexural wavenumber of the plate increases. As a result, the flexural group velocity is reduced, and the spatial damping effect of the flexural energy density is increased. Additionally, for the EFFEA of arbitary-shaped built-up structures, the energy flow finite element formulation for the acoustic tetrahedral element was newly performed. Finally, for validation of the derived theory and developed software, numerical applications of complicated plate structures submerged in seawater or air were successfully performed.
