The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with irregularities leading to soft first floor is studied using capacity assessment procedures. The soft first story effect is investigated for the cases: (i) slab-column connections without beams at the first floor, (ii) tall first story height and (iii) pilotis type building (open ground story). The effects of the first floor irregularity on the RC frame structure performance stages at global and local level (limit states) are investigated. Assessment based on the Capacity Spectrum Method (ATC-40) and on the Coefficient Method (FEMA 356) is also examined. Results in terms of failure modes, capacity curves, interstory drifts, ductility requirements and infills behaviour are presented. From the results it can be deduced that the global capacity of the structures is decreased due to the considered first floor morphology irregularities in comparison to the capacities of the regular structure. An increase of the demands for interstory drift is observed at the first floor level due to the considered irregularities while the open ground floor structure (pilotis type) led to even higher values of interstory drift demands at the first story. In the cases of tall first story and slab-column connections without beams soft-story mechanisms have also been observed at the first floor. Rotational criteria (EC8-part3) showed that the structure with slab-column connections without beams exhibited the most critical response.

The existing measurement system to ground-surface displacement survey of the slope has been including the hazard for the measure in site and the difficulty for install, maintenance and control of expensive instruments, which are impossible of whole survey on the slope surface. To overcome of those defects, Softcopy Photogrammertry method is used, which can measure displacement of ground-surface on the slope and structure deformation vectors. Recently, the survey methods applying the advantages of Photogrammetry and Digital Photogrammetry Survey are widely used. In this study, therefore, the development and application of the new instrument mechanism on the the site example are studied. Through the application of Softcopy Photogrammetry, the 3-D data of ground surface on the dangerous slope could be effectively obtained at the long distance, which are obtained through the reform process of contour line. Those are different to the results of the Close-Range Photogrammetry analysis. In ground instrumentation parts, the new practical system shall be the technical base to improve of the instrument machine as well as can be widely applied in civil engineering and others branch.

Previous major earthquakes indicated that the earthquake induced ground motions are typical non-stationary processes, which are non-stationary in both amplification and frequency. For the convenience of aseismic design and analysis, it usually assumes that the ground motions at structural supports are stationary processes. The development of time-frequency analysis technique makes it possible to evaluate the non-stationary responses of engineering structures subjected to non-stationary inputs, which is more general and realistic than the analysis method commonly used in engineering. In this paper, the wavelet-based stochastic vibration analysis methodology is adopted to calculate the non-stationary responses of multi-support structures. For comparison, the stationary response based on the standard random vibration method is also investigated. A frame structure and a two-span bridge are analyzed. The effects of non-stationary spatial ground motion and local site conditions are considered, and the influence of structural property on the structural responses are also considered. The analytical results demonstrate that the non-stationary spatial ground motions have significant influence on the response of multi-support structures.

로터 시스템을 사용하는 도심 항공 모빌리티(Urban Air Mobility, UAM)는 이착륙 시 버티포트(Vertiport)에서 지면 효과를 경험하게 된다. UAM의 안전한 운용을 위해서는 지면 효과가 비행체의 공력성능에 미치는 영향성이 선행적으로 분석되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)를 적용하여지면 효과가 동축 반전 프로펠러를 장착한 쿼드콥터 형상 전기동력 수직이착륙기 전기체의 공력성능 및 후류 구조에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 동축 반전 프로펠러 시스템의 상하부 프로펠러에서 지면 효과 영향성은 상이하게 관찰되었다. 지면과의 이격 거리가 변화하더라도 상부 프로펠러의 성능에는 큰 변화가 없었지만, 지면과 가까워질수록 하부 프로펠러에서는 평균 추력과 토크 값이 크게 증가하였다. 또한 이격 거리가 감소함에 따라 추력 변동의 진폭이 증가하는 경향성이 나타났다. 지면 효과에 의해 프로펠러 후류는 하류 방향으로 충분히 전파되지 못하고 지면을 따라 발달한 Outwash 흐름에 의해 확산되었다. 프로펠러 시스템 사이에서 지면 확산 유동이 충돌하는 분수 와류(Fountain Vortex)의 형성을 확인하였다.

The shield building of AP1000 was designed to protect the steel containment vessel of the nuclear reactor. Therefore, the safety and integrity must be ensured during the plant life in any conditions such as an earthquake. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of water in the water tank on the response of the AP1000 shield building when subjected to three-dimensional seismic ground acceleration. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) and finite element method (FEM) coupling method is used to numerically simulate the fluid and structure interaction (FSI) between water in the water tank and the AP1000 shield building. Then the grid convergence of FEM and SPH for the AP1000 shield building is analyzed. Next the modal analysis of the AP1000 shield building with various water levels (WLs) in the water tank is taken. Meanwhile, the pressure due to sloshing and oscillation of the water in the gravity drain water tank is studied. The influences of the height of water in the water tank on the time history of acceleration of the AP1000 shield building are discussed, as well as the distributions of amplification, acceleration, displacement, and stresses of the AP1000 shield building. Research on the relationship between the WLs in the water tank and the response spectrums of the structure are also taken. The results show that the high WL in the water tank can limit the vibration of the AP1000 shield building and can more efficiently dissipate the kinetic energy of the AP1000 shield building by fluid-structure interaction.

In this paper, firstly, acceleration-time histories were generated by varying strong motion duration in the frequency domain for application to a seismically isolated nuclear power structure, so as to examine the effects of strong motion duration on the behavior of the structure. Secondly, real recorded earthquakes were modified to match the target response spectrum based on the revised SRP 3.7.1(2007) and the modified time histories were applied to the analysis of a seismically isolated nuclear power structure. The obtained values of acceleration and displacement responses of the structure were, finally, compared with the values obtained in case of applying acceleration-time histories generated in the frequency domain to the structure.

지반진동특성의 지진공학적인 정밀측정의 일환으로 지반진동의 탁월주기와 지반진동의 거리에 따른 감쇠특성을 현장실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 이 조사는 세가지 부분의 실험을 통하여 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 지반의 탁월주기는 고감도 디지탈 속도지진계-3축성분 속도계를 이용하는 Seismometer와 디지탈 Seismograph를 이용하여 지반과 건물에서 일정한 주기를 가진 연속적인 미소진동으로 부터 지반 및 건물진동의 탁월주기를 계측하였다. 지반에서의 탁월주기는 0.18~0.23 sec, 건물2층의 탁월주기는 0.26~0.31 sec였다. 둘째, 지반 구조조사는 디지탈 탄성파탐사기를 이용하여 굴절법을 이용한 탄성파탐사를 실시하였다. 실험장소인 한양대학교 안산캠퍼스의 지층구조는 상부층(표토층: surface layer)은 저속도층으로서 662m1s, 하부층(지반층: base ground)은 2210m/s의 P파 속도를 갖고, 주시곡선도로부터 표토층의 두께는 약 7m로 검측되었다. 이것은 7m두깨의 표토층(top soil)과 그 하부에 사질 점토성의 지반층(base ground)이 존재함을 암시한다. 셋째, Seisgun을 이용하여 인공적인 탄성파 에너지원을 만들어 지반의 진동 감쇠특성을 조사 하였다. 거리 감쇠상수(spatial attenuation conf$\ulcorner$icient) Y는 거리에 따른 진폭 을 계산하여 Z-성분(vertical)은 0.0137, X-성분(longitudinal)은 0.0025, Y-성분(transverse)은 0.0290이고 Spatial QP의 값은 각각 5.913~7.575, 32.371 ~41.452, 2.794~3.579의 값이 산출되었었다. 이 결과 다른 두성분에 비해서 종방향(z-성분, longitudinal)성분은 감쇠경향이 낮음을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 이 경우에 구조물 설계시 종방향(x-성분, longitudinal)성분에 대 한 내진설계가 고려 되어야 할 것이다.
