In this study, vibration characteristics of offshore wind turbine tower (WTT) with gravity-based foundation (GBF) are identified from dynamic responses under wave-induced excitations. The following approaches are implemented to achieve the objective. Firstly, the operational modal analysis methods such as frequency domain decomposition (FDD) and stochastic subspace identification (SSI) are selected to estimate modal parameters from output-only dynamic responses. Secondly, a GBF WTT model composed of superstructure, substructure and foundation is simulated as a case study by using a structural analysis program, MIDAS FEA. Thirdly, wave pressures acting on the WTT structure are established by nonlinear regular waves which are simulated from a computational fluid software, Flow 3D. Wave-induced acceleration responses of the target structure are analyzed by applying the simulated wave pressures to the GBF WTT model. Finally, modal parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are estimated from the output-only acceleration responses and compared with the results from free vibration analysis. The effect of wave height and period on modal parameter extraction is also investigated for the mode identification of the GBF WTT.

The concrete gravity dam is one of the most important parts of the nation's infrastructure. Besides the benefits, the dam also has some potentially catastrophic disasters related to the life of citizens directly. During the lifetime of service, some degradations in a dam may occur as consequences of operating conditions, environmental aspects and deterioration in materials from natural causes, especially from dynamic loads. Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) plays a key role to assess the operational condition of a structure under seismic hazard. In previous researches, CAV is normally used in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) fields, but there are no particular criteria or studies that have been made on dam structure. This paper presents a method to calculate the limitation of CAV for the Bohyeonsan Dam in Korea, where the critical Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is estimated from twelve sets of selected earthquakes based on High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF). HCLPF point denotes 5% damage probability with 95% confidence level in the fragility curve, and the corresponding PGA expresses the crucial acceleration of this dam. For determining the status of the dam, a 2D finite element model is simulated by ABAQUS. At first, the dam's parameters are optimized by the Minitab tool using the method of Central Composite Design (CCD) for increasing model reliability. Then the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used for updating the model and the optimization is implemented from the selected model parameters. Finally, the recorded response of the concrete gravity dam is compared against the results obtained from solving the numerical model for identifying the physical condition of the structure.

인공위성 측지학의 발달로 최근 들어 정밀도와 해상도가 높아진 중력포텐셜 모델들이 공개되었다. 근래에 가장 많이 사용되는 EGM96과 CHAMP, GRACE 등의 저고도 위성자료를 기반으로 하는 가장 최근의 EIGEN-CG01C 모델을 이용하여 한반도와 인근지역을 포함하는 $123^{\circ}{\sim}132^{\circ}$ E, $33^{\circ}{\sim}43^{\circ}$ N의 연구지역에서 지오이드와 중력이상을 계산하고, 비교 검토하였다. 두 모델은 지오이드와 중력이상에서 0.90이상의 매우 높은 상관관계를 가지고 있으나, Amplitude 분석에서 EIGEN-CG01C 모델이 고주파영역이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 두 모델을 통해 계산된 중력이상에서 북한지역 및 황해 연안 일부에서 다소 차이를 보인다. Power spectrum 분석을 통하여 대규모 지구조나 지하자원 탐사에 유용하게 활용될 수 있는 잔여이상을 계산하였다.

Dynamic analysis of concrete gravity dam-reservoir systems is an important topic in the study of fluid-structure interaction problems. It is well-known that the rigorous approach for solving this problem relies heavily on employing a two-dimensional semi-infinite fluid element. The hyper-element is formulated in frequency domain and its application in this field has led to many especial purpose programs which were demanding from programming point of view. In this study, a technique is proposed for dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir systems in the context of pure finite element programming which is referred to as the wavenumber approach. In this technique, the wavenumber condition is imposed on the truncation boundary or the upstream face of the near-field water domain. The method is initially described. Subsequently, the response of an idealized triangular dam-reservoir system is obtained by this approach, and the results are compared against the exact response. Based on this investigation, it is concluded that this approach can be envisaged as a great substitute for the rigorous type of analysis.

In this paper, a computational model for nonlinear crack damage analysis of concrete gravity dam-foundation boundary region subjected to earthquake loading is suggested. An enhanced model based on the Lee-Fenves plastic-damage model is used as the inelastic material model for a concrete dam structure and rock foundation. The suggested model is implemented numerically and used for computational earthquake simulation of Koyna dam, which was severly damaged from the strong earthquake in 1967. From the numerical result it is demonstrated that the suggested computational model can realistically represent crack initiation and propagation in the dam-foundation boundary region.

This paper addresses details of wave load nonlinearity effect on stress RAO and damage ratio using component stochastic fatigue analysis. Traditional spectral fatigue analysis for ship structure is based on linear theory; however, there are a number of nonlinearity sources. Especially loading nonlinearity, such as hydrodynamic pressure applying to ship side and gravity changes due to roll and pitch motion, is thought to critically violate the linearity assumption of spectral fatigue analysis, which involves stress RAO as linear parameter. The main focus is placed on how to idealize complicated characteristics of loading nonlinearity and how to implement the nonlinear bias to linear spectral fatigue analysis.

This paper presents seismic analysis of concrete gravity dams considering soil-structure-fluid interaction. Displacement based plane strain finite element formulation is considered for the dam and foundation domain whereas pressure based finite element formulation is considered for the reservoir domain. A direct coupling method has been adopted to obtain the interaction effects among the dam, foundation and reservoir domain to obtain the dynamic responses of the dam. An efficient absorbing boundary condition has been implemented at the truncation surfaces of the foundation and reservoir domains. A parametric study has been carried out considering each domain separately and collectively based on natural frequencies, crest displacement and stress at the neck level of the dam body. The combined frequency of the entire coupled system is very less than that of the each individual sub-system. The crest displacement and neck level stresses of the dam shows prominent enhancement when coupling effect is taken into consideration. These outcomes suggest that a complete coupled analysis is necessary to obtain the actual responses of the concrete gravity dam. The developed methodology can easily be implemented in finite element code for analyzing the coupled problem to obtain the desired responses of the individual subdomains.

본 연구는 비정형 바닥판을 갖는 중력식 구조물의 사석마운드 지반반력을 대상으로 하였다. 구조물 바닥을 강체로 가정하고, 사석마운드는 압축에 대해서만 저항하는 바닥에 균일하게 분포하는 선형스프링으로 모형화하여 지반반력 산정식을 유도하였다. 바닥 형상이 사각형인 경우, 그 유도된 식이 설계에 사용되고 있는 식으로 변환됨을 보임으로써 유도 과정에 오류가 없음을 확인하였다. 또한, 비정형 바닥 형상이 사각형으로 수렴할 때의 지반반력의 거동과 그 수렴값을 살펴봄으로써 유도된 식의 타당성을 입증하였다. 실제 설계에서 사용되고 있는 방법의 적정성을 살펴보기 위하여 기 설계된 방파제 단면에 대한 단부 지반반력을 계산하고 설계서에 제시된 값과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 설계에 사용한 방법이 비안전측의 결과를 주었다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 극한 설계조건의 경우와 같이 연직하중의 편심이 큰 경우에 그 차이가 더 크게 나타났다.

이 논문에서는 중력, 자력, 및 탄성파 자료를 이용하여 한일공동개발구역(Korea-Japan Joint Development Zone, JDZ)의 구조를 분석했다. 중력과 자력 자료를 분석한 결과 제주 분지 일원에서 낮은 중력 및 자력 이상을 보이는 영역이 확인되었다. 또한, 분지 경계를 확인하기 위하여 부게 이상 자료에 총수평 기울기(total horizontal gradients)를, 그리고 총자기 이상 자료에 어넬리틱 시그널(analytic signal)을 적용한 결과 분지 경계를 확인할 수 있었다. 높은 대자율을 보이는 타이완-신지 벨트는 북동-남서 방향으로 JDZ의 중심을 가로지르고 있으며 관입암체로 추정되는 암상들이 JDZ에 산발적으로 나타난다. 3차원 자력 및 중력 역산 결과는 대자율과 밀도의 높은 상관 관계를 보였다. 제주 분지와 호 분지에서 낮은 밀도 분포를 나타내며 타이완-신지 벨트에서는 높은 대자율 분포를 보여준다. 제주 분지 일원 측선에서 밀도 단면도와 탄성파 단면도를 비교한 결과 높은 밀도는 화성 활동에 의한 암상(sill), 지루(horst), 기반암 상승부와 연관 있으며 낮은 밀도는 기반암이 함몰된 지구(graben)과 연관된 것으로 해석된다. 이 결과는 탄성파 자료와 중자력 자료를 활용한 융합 해석법이 JDZ 일원의 지하구조 특성을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있음을 제시한다.

This paper calculates the mating dynamic forces of a semi-submersible offshore structure's topside module, where a hull moored in the sea is combined with a topside module carried by a heavy lift vessel, as a mating installation method. The environmental conditions include various wave directions and wave heights, with constant wind and current speeds. Appropriate ballast and de-ballast plans for the heavy lift vessel and hull of the semi-rig should be performed in order to safely obtain these forces, whereas a fixed platform or the GBS (Gravity based structure) type of offshore structure only needs a ballast plan for the heavy lift vessel. From this paper, the allowable wave height or wave direction for the mating procedure can be investigated based on the standard DAF (Dynamic amplitude factor) of the rules and regulations.
