기존의 하중-기반 방법을 대체할 방법중에 성능-기반 방법이 내진설계 및 내진성능평가의 기법으로서 널리 인식되고 있는 실정이다. 탄성응답스펙트럼을 사용하는 역량스펙트럼방법은 비선형 시스템을 등가의 선형시스템으로 치환하여 주어진 지진 하중에 대한 구조물의 최대 비선형 거동을 예측한다. 본 연구의 목적은 철근콘크리트 벽체구조물에 대하여 4개의 등가단자유도방법과 5개의 등가감쇠방법을 사용하여 역량스펙트럼방법의 정확성을 평가하는 것이다. 역량스펙트럼방법의 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 벽체구조물에 대한 진동대 실험결과와 비교하였다. 또한 이선형 곡선변환방법(등가에너지 근사화방법, 유효강성 사화 방법)에 의한 이선형 역량곡선들의 역량스펙트럼 해석에 대한 영향도 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크에 대하여 내진해석을 수행하였다. 해석 모델은 관통 파이프만을 고려한 경우와 관통 파이프, 내부 벽체, 가이드를 고려한 경우에 대하여 해석을 수행하였다. 내진 해석법으로 등가정적 해석법과 응답 스펙트럼 해석법을 두 가지 해석 모델에 대하여 각각 적용하였다. 변형량과 응력을 계산하고, 그 결과를 비교하였다. 해석 결과, 응답 스펙트럼 해석법이 등가정적 해석법에 비하여 LNG 저장탱크를 보다 잘 모사하는 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

Wind forces on structures are usually schematized by the sum of their mean static part and a nil mean fluctuation generally treated as a stationary process randomly varying in space and time. The multi-variate and multi-dimensional nature of such a process requires a considerable quantity of numerical procedures to carry out the dynamic analysis of the structural response. With the aim of drastically reducing the above computational burden, this paper introduces a method by means of which the external fluctuating wind forces on slender structures and structural elements are schematized by an equivalent process identically coherent in space. This process is identified by a power spectral density function, called the Generalized Equivalent Spectrum, whose expression is given in closed form.

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures are one of the most widely used structural systems to resist seismic loading all around the world. Although there have been several efforts to provide conceptually simple procedures to reasonably assess the seismic demands of structures over recent decades, it seems that lesser effort has been put on a number of structural forms such as RC shear wall structures. Therefore, this study aims to represent a simple linear response spectrum-based method which can acceptably predict the nonlinear displacements of a non-ductile RC shear wall structure subjected to an individual ground motion record. An effective period and an equivalent damping ratio are introduced as the dynamic characteristics of an equivalent linear SDOF system relevant to the main structure. By applying the fundamental mode participation factor of the original MDOF structure to the linear spectral response of the equivalent SDOF system, an acceptable estimation of the nonlinear displacement response is obtained. Subsequently, the accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated by comparison with another approximate method which is based on linear response spectrum. Results show that the proposed method has better estimations for maximum nonlinear responses and is more utilizable and applicable than the other one.

The equivalent static force procedure and the response spectrum analysis method are widely used for seismic analyses of multi-story buildings. The equivalent static force procedure is one of the most simple but less accurate method in predicting possible seismic response of a structure. The response spectrum analysis method provides more accurate results while it takes much longer computational time. In the response spectrum method, dynamic response of a multi-story building is obtained by combining modal responses through a proper procedure such as SRSS or CQC method. Since all of the analysis results are expressed in absolute values, structural engineers have difficulties to combine them with the results obtained from the static analysis. Design automation is interrupted at this stage because of the difficulty in the decision of the most critical design load. Pseudo-dynamic analysis method proposed in this study provides more accurate seismic analysis results than those of the equivalent static force procedure since the dynamic characteristics of a structure is considered. And the proposed method has an advantage in combination of the analysis results due to gravity loads and seismic loads since the direction of the forces can be considered.

A simplified yet effective design procedure for viscous dampers was presented based on improved capacity spectrum method in the context of performance-based seismic design. The amount of added viscous damping required to meet a given performance objective was evaluated from the difference between the total demand for effective damping and inherent damping plus equivalent damping resulting from hysteretic deformation of system. Application of the method is illustrated by means of two examples, using Chinese design response spectrum and mean response spectrum. Nonlinear dynamic analysis results indicate that the maximum displacements of structures installed with supplemental dampers designed in accordance with the proposed method agree well with the given target displacements. The advantage of the presented procedure over the conventional iterative design method is also highlighted.

The capacity spectrum method(CSM) can be used for the evaluation of inelastic maximum response of structures and has been recently used in the seismic design using the incorporation of pushover analysis and response spectrum method. To efficiently evaluate seismic performance of multi-degree-of freedom(MDOF) bridge structures, it is important that the equivalent response of MDOF bridge structures should be calculated. To calculate the equivalent response of MDOF system, equivalent responses are obtained by using Song method, Fajfar method and Calvi method. Also, those responses are applied to CSM method and seismic performance of bridge according to the ESDOF method are compared and evaluated straightforwardly.

Hysteretic energy is defined as energy dissipated through inelastic deformations during a ground motion by the system. It includes frequency content and duration of ground motion as two remarkable parameters, while these characteristics are not seen in displacement spectrum. Since maximum displacement individually cannot be the appropriate criterion for damage assessment, hysteretic energy has been evaluated in this research as a more comprehensive seismic demand parameter. An innovative methodology has been proposed to establish a new equivalent linear model to estimate hysteretic energy spectrum for bilinear SDOF models under two different sets of earthquake excitations. Error minimization has been defined in the space of equivalent linearization concept, which resulted in equivalent damping and equivalent period as representative parameters of the linear model. Nonlinear regression analysis was carried out for predicting these equivalent parameter as a function of ductility. The results also indicate differences between seismic demand characteristics of far-field and near-field ground motions, which are not identified by most of previous equations presented for predicting seismic energy. The main advantage of the proposed model is its independency on parameters related to earthquake and response characteristics, which has led to more efficiency as well as simplicity. The capability of providing a practical energy based seismic performance evaluation is another outstanding feature of the proposed model.

탄성응답스펙트럼을 사용하는 능력스펙트럼법은 비선형 시스템을 등가의 선형시스템으로 치환하여 주어진 지진 하중에 대한 구조물의 최대 비선형 거동을 예측한다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 능력스펙트럼법들의 정확성을 검증하고, 예측 특성을 비교하는 것이다. 이를 위해, ATC-40, G lkan, Kowalsky, 그리고 Iwan이 제시한 방법을 이용하여 등가주기와 등가감쇠비를 산정한 후, ATC-40에서 제시한 절차B에 따라 성능점을 산정 하였다. 전반적으로 ATC-40 방범은 구조물의 응답을 과소 평가하여 안전하지 못한 설계결과를 가져 올 수 있으며, G lkan과 Kowalsky의 방법은 과대 평가하는 경향을 가지고 있다. Iwan이 제시한 방법은 ATC-40 방법과 G lkan과 Kowalsky 방법의 중간 값을 예측함으로써, 비교적 정확한 값에 가까운 최대 변위를 산출하였다. 그리고, Kowalsky 방법은 항복 후 강성비에 따라 등가감쇠비를 음수로 산정함으로써 예측 값을 제시하지 못하는 경우가 있음을 확인하였다.

A digital spectrum analysis technique was used to estimate the tissue characteristic parameters (transmission velocity and attenuation coefficient) in the phantom study and the human liver's ultrasound scanning. The soft tissue equivalent phantom was made with the combination materials of agar, water, powdered graphite, and n-propyl alcohol. In the human study, twenty five normal subjects and three patients with liver diseases were studied using the ultrasonic reflection signals and the spectrum analysis method The following results were obtained; 1. The soft tissue-equivalent materical could be produced with various acoustic parameters by changing the composition amount of the powdered graphite and n-propyl alcohol. 2. Attenuation coefficients of normal human liver tissue were estimated to be 0. 36 dB/cm MHz$\pm$0.11. In patients with liver disese, tile attenuation coefficients were shown to be different from the above normal values.
