The main concept of base isolation system is to reduce the member forces by decreasing the earthquake forces transmitted to superstructure instead of the conventional techniques of strengthening the structural members. There are two important advantages in friction pendulum systems. The functions of carrying the vertical load and of providing horizontal stiffness are effectively separated. This results in a more stable system that eliminates the need of a fail-safe mechanism. Friction pendulum systems are less sensitive to variations in the frequency content of ground excitation and tend to limit the intensity of the farce imparted to the superstructure. This study investigates the friction coefficients on the FPS test specimens according to the velocity, bearing pressure and test waveform.

The current paper investigates the effect of the seismic pounding of neighboring buildings on the response of structures isolated by Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing (TFPB). To this end, a symmetric three-dimensional single story building is modeled for analysis with two specified levels of top deck and base deck, to capture the seismic response of the base isolators and building's roof. Linear elastic springs with different level of gaps are employed to calculate the impact between the buildings. Nonlinear Dynamic Time History Analyses (NDTHA) are conducted for seismic evaluation. Also, five different sizes with four different sets of friction coefficients are assumed for base isolators to cover a whole range of base isolation systems with various geometry configurations and fundamental period. The results are investigated in terms of base shear, buildings' drift and top deck acceleration of the superstructure. The results also indicate the profound effect of the stiffness of the adjacent buildings on the value of the impact they impose to the superstructure. Also, in situations of potential pounding, the increment of the fundamental period of the TFPB base isolator could intensify the impact force up to nearly five-fold.

This study aims to investigate the stochastic response of isolated and non-isolated highway bridges subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motion model. This model includes wave passage, incoherence and site response effects. The wave passage effect is examined by using various wave velocities. The incoherency effect is investigated by considering the Harichandran and Vanmarcke coherency model. The site response effect is considered by selecting homogeneous firm, medium and soft soil types where the bridge supports are constructed. The ground motion is described by power spectral density function and applied to each support point. Triple concave friction pendulum (TCFP) bearing which is more effective than other seismic isolation systems is used for seismic isolation. To implement seismic isolation procedure, TCFP bearing devices are placed at each of the support points of the deck. In the analysis, the bridge selected is a five-span featuring cast-in-place concrete box girder superstructure supported on reinforced concrete columns. Foundation supported highway bridge is regarded as three regions and compared its different situation in the stochastic analysis. The stochastic analyses results show that spatially varying ground motion has important effects on the stochastic response of the isolated and non-isolated bridges as long span structures.

본 연구에서는 중요 통신장비의 지진발생시 파손 및 성능저하를 방지하기 위하여 구조물로 전달되는 가속도를 조절할 수 있는 CFPBS(Cone-type Friction Pendulum Bearing System:원추형 마찰진자베어링)를 개발하고 내진성능을 검증하였다. CFPBS는 기존의 FPS(Friction Pendulum System)와 다르게 원추형으로 제작되었으며 보다 큰 마찰력을 얻기 위하여 마찰면에 패턴을 음각하였다. CFPBS의 고유성능을 파악하기 위하여 4개의 CFPBS가 하나의 개체를 이루도록 제작된 지진격리장치를 이용하여 자유진동시험을 수행하였다. 운동방정식으로부터 유도된 CFPBS의 이론식과 Newmark-${\beta}$ Method를 이용하여 내진성능을 검증하기위한 MATLAB7.0 기반의 동적 수치해석프로그램을 제작하였으며 CFPBS의 제작 시 원하는 성능을 발휘할 수 있도록 간략화된 CFPBS의 설계식을 제안하였다. 수치해석을 통한 CFPBS의 내진성능평가를 위하여 건축구조설계기준(KBC-2005)의 최대지진규모에 해당하는 인공지진파를 생성하고 검증하였다. El Centro NS(1940)와 Kobe NS(1995), 인공지진파 등을 사용하여 CFPBS의 상부질량과 경사각을 매개변수로 하는 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 결과를 토대로 CFPBS의 내진성능을 평가하였으며 수치해석의 결과와 설계식을 이용하여 동일한 조건에서 얻어진 결과를 비교분석하였다.

최근 지진에 대한 위험이 고취됨에 따라 내진설계에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 면진장치중 하나인 마찰 진자형 지진격리받침을 고강도 엔지니어링 플라스틱을 이용하여 슬라이더(spherical)를 적용하였다. 이는 다른 금속에 비해 가벼운 중량으로 운반, 설치 및 유지보수가 매우 용이하고, 기존의 금속부품 대비 내부식성이 매우 우수하다. 또한 특수 마찰재를 삽입하여 사용하므로 교체가 용이하여 마찰계수 조절이 가능하다는 장점을 입증하였지만 금속 소재 슬라이더 대비 장기 처짐에 대한 우려가 대두되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개발된 마찰 진자형 지진격리받침으로 압축-전단시험, 반복피로시험 후 극한하중 재하시험을 실시하여 시험 후의 압축 및 전단특성 변화와 반복피로시험 후 극한하중 재하시 슬라이더의 변형 및 전단특성을 측정, 분석하여 슬라이더의 장기 처짐값을 측정하였고 그 처짐값이 사용 설계 허용범위 내에 있는지를 입증하였다.

The purpose of seismic isolation system among them is to lengthen the period of structure and make its period shift from the dominant period of earthquake. In this study, the seismic behavior of arch structure with lead rubber bearing(LRB) and friction pendulum system(FPS) is analyzed. The arch structure is the simplest structure and has the basic dynamic characteristics among large spatial structures. Also, Large spatial structures have large vertical response by horizontal seismic vibration, unlike seismic behavior of normal rahmen structures. When horizontal seismic load is applied to the large spatial structure with isolation systems, the horizontal acceleration response of the large spatial structure is reduced and the vertical seismic response is remarkably reduced.

스카이브릿지가 연결되는 건물에 강접합될 경우에는 비정형성이 크게 되어 지진하중에 매우 불리하게 거동할 수 있다. 따라서, 마찰진자베어링(FPS)이나 납고무베어링(LRB)와 같은 연결시스템을 사용하여 스카이브릿지와 구조물을 연결하게 된다. 이러한 연결시스템은 큰 지진하중이 발생하였을 때 스카이브릿지가 연결된 건물에서 분리되어 낙교하지 않도록 신중하게 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 수직방향 인장력에대해서 저항성이 없는 마찰진자감쇠기를 이용한 연결시스템을 설계하는 과정에서 반드시 검토해야할 사항을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 실제 시공된 누리꿈 스퀘어를 예제구조물로 선택하였고 예상되는 지진하중이 가해졌을 때 스카이브릿지 연결시스템에서 발생하는 응답을 분석하여 낙교를 방지할 수 있는 설계 프로세스를 정립하였다.

The research field of structural control has evolved from the development of passive devices since 1970s, through the intensive investigation on active systems in 1980s, to the recent studies of semi-active control systems in 1990s. Currently semi-active control is considered most promising in civil engineering applications. However, actual implementation of semi-active devices is still limited due mainly to their system maintenance and associated long-term reliability as a result of power requirement. In this paper, the concept of functionally upgraded passive devices is introduced to streamline some of the state-of-the-art researches and guide the development of new passive devices that can mimic the function of their corresponding semi-active control devices for various applications. The general characteristics of this special group of passive devices are discussed and representative examples are summarized. Their superior performances are illustrated with cyclic and shake table tests of two example devices: mass-variable tuned liquid damper and friction-pendulum bearing with a variable sliding surface curvature.

Previous studies have shown that pile-soil interactions have significant influences on the isolation efficiency of an isolated structure. However, most of the existing tests were carried out using a 1-g shaking table, which cannot reproduce the soil stresses resulting in distortion of the simulated pile-soil interactions. In this study, a centrifuge shaking table modelling of the seismic responses of a friction pendulum bearing isolated structure with a pile foundation under earthquakes were conducted. The pile foundation structure was designed and constructed with a scale factor of 1:100. Two layers of the foundation soil, i.e., the bottom layer was made of plaster and the upper layer was normal soil, were carefully prepared to meet the similitude requirement. Seismic responses, including strains, displacement, acceleration, and soil pressure were collected. The settlement of the soil, sliding of the isolator, dynamic amplification factor and bending moment of the piles were analysed to reveal the influence of the soil structure interaction on the seismic performance of the structure. It is found that the soil rotates significantly under earthquake motions and the peak rotation is about 0.021 degree under 24.0 g motions. The isolator cannot return to the initial position after the tests because of the unrecoverable deformation of the soil and the friction between the curved surface of the slider and the concave plate.
