Structural damage during an earthquake is caused by the response of the structure to the ground motion input at its base. The dynamic force produced in the structure are due to the inertia of its vibrating elements. The response of the structure exceeds the ground motion and this dynamic magnification depends on the duration and frequency content of the ground vibration, the soil properties at the site, distance from the epicenter and the dynamic characteristics of the structure. Earthquake load used in this study as a input data was artificially simulated with the design spectrum diagram in the Korean Earthquake Resistant Design Code. This paper presents the seismic analysis of the continuous preflex composite girder bridges according to variation of pier's height and span's length.

최근 수행된 우리나라 원전 부지에 대한 지진재해도 해석 결과 작성된 등재해도 스펙트럼에서 고진동수 성분의 지진동이 매우 우세하게 나타나고 있다. 일반적으로 지진취약도 해석에서는 설계 스펙트럼에 내재된 보수성을 평가하기 위해 스펙트럼 형상계수가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 입력지반운동 스펙트럼의 형상이 변화함에 따른 층응답스펙트럼의 형상 변화를 분석하였다. 이때 입력 스펙트럼으로부터 직접 층응답스펙트럼을 작성할 수 있는 직접법을 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과 건물 내부에 설치된 기기의 취약도해석에서는 입력스펙트럼에 내재된 보수성을 구조물의 고유진동수에 대한 스펙트럼 형상계수가 아닌 기기의 고유진동수에 따른 층응답스펙트럼 형상계수로 고려하는 것이 정확한 취약도해석 결과를 주는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to evaluate the earthquake safety of equipment in structures, it is essential to analyze the In-Structure Response Spectrum (ISRS). The ISRS has a peak value at the frequency corresponding to the structural vibration mode, but the frequency and amplitude at the peak can vary because of many uncertain parameters. There are several seismic design criteria for ISRS peak-broadening for fixed base structures. However, there are no suggested criteria for constructing the design ISRS of seismically isolated structures. The ISRS of isolated structures may change due to the major uncertainty parameter of the isolator, which is the shear stiffness of the isolator and the several uncertainty parameters caused by the nonlinear behavior of isolators. This study evaluated the effects on the ISRS due to the initial stiffness of the bi-linear curve of isolators and the variation of effective stiffness by the input ground motion intensity and intense motion duration. Analyzing a simplified structural model for isolated base structure confirmed that the ISRS at the frequency of structural mode was amplified and shifted. It was found that the uncertainty of the initial stiffness of isolators significantly affects the shape of ISRS. The variation caused by the intensity and duration of input ground motions was also evaluated. These results suggested several considerations for generating ISRS for seismically isolated structures.

A methodology to evaluate the seismic performance of interface piping systems that cross the isolation interface in the seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) was developed. The developed methodology was applied to the safety-related interface piping system to demonstrate the seismic performance of the target piping system. Not only the seismic performance for the design level earthquakes but also the performance for the beyond design level earthquakes were evaluated. Two artificial seismic ground input motions which were matched to the design response spectra and two historical earthquake ground motions were used for the seismic analysis of piping system. The preliminary performance evaluation results show that the excessive relative displacements can occur in the seismically isolated piping system. If the input ground motion contained relatively high energy in the low frequency region, we could find that the stress response of the piping system exceed the allowable stress level even though the intensity of the input ground motion is equal to the design level earthquake. The structural responses and seismic performances of piping system were varied sensitively with respect to the intensities and frequency contents of input ground motions. Therefore, for the application of isolation system to NPPs and the verification of the safety of piping system, the seismic performance of the piping system subjected to the earthquake at the target NPP site should be evaluated firstly.

Structures in a nuclear power system are designed to be elastic even under an earthquake excitation. However a structural component such as an isolator shows inelastic behavior inherently. For the seismic assessment of nonlinear structures, response history analysis should be performed. In this study, the response of base isolation system was analyzed by response history analysis for the seismic performance assessment. Firstly, several seismic assessment criteria for a nuclear power plant structure were reviewed for the nonlinear response history analysis. Based on these criteria, the spectrum matched ground motion generation method modifying a seed earthquake ground motion time history was adjusted. Using these spectrum matched accelerograms, the distribution of displacement responses of the simplified base isolation system was evaluated. The resulting seismic responses excited by the modified ground motion time histories and the synthesized time history generated by stochastic approach were compared. And the response analysis of the base isolation system considering the different intensities in each orthogonal direction was performed.

In this study the influences of ground motion characteristics and structural properties on energy demands were evaluated using 100 earthquake ground motions recorded in different soil conditions, and the results were compared with those of previous works. Results show that ductility ratios and the site conditions have significant influence on input energy. The ratio of hysteretic to input energy is considerably influenced by the ductility ratio and damping ratio, while site condition has minor effects.

In performance-based seismic design procedures Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and pseudo-Spectral acceleration ($S_a$) are commonly used to predict the response of structures to earthquake. Recently, research has been carried out to evaluate the predictive capability of these standard Intensity Measures (IMs) with respect to different types of structures and Engineering Demand Parameter (EDP) commonly used to measure damage. Efforts have been also spent to propose alternative IMs that are able to improve the results of the response predictions. However, most of these IMs are not usually employed in probabilistic seismic demand analyses because of the lack of reliable Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs). In order to define seismic hazard and thus to calculate demand hazard curves it is essential, in fact, to establish a GMPE for the earthquake intensity. In the light of this need, new GMPEs are proposed here for the elastic input energy spectra, energy-based intensity measures that have been shown to be good predictors of both structural and non-structural damage for many types of structures. The proposed GMPEs are developed using mixed-effects models by empirical regressions on a large number of strong-motions selected from the NGA database. Parametric analyses are carried out to show the effect of some properties variation, such as fault mechanism, type of soil, earthquake magnitude and distance, on the considered IMs. Results of comparisons between the proposed GMPEs and other from the literature are finally shown.

The technical committee of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering of Korean Geotechnical Socity has conducted Round Robin Test(RRT) on seismic ground response analyses in 2007. Total 14 participating teams were given exact same soil information of three sites and three input ground motions including two recorded ground motions and one synthetic ground motion. Each team selected its own analysis method and approaches to perform ground response analyses. There were equivalent linear, nonlinear total stress, and nonlinear effective stress approaches, which could be selected. The results from RRT were systematically analyzed and dispersion and variation due to analysis methods, input ground motions, shear velocity profiles, shear modulus reduction curves, damping curves, and other input data are reported by the companion papers.

건축물의 지진응답해석에서 입력지진동은 구조물의 비선형 응답에 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 지진동의 특성은 표층지반의 성질과 국부적인 지반 조건에 따른 여러 가지 인자에 의해 그 특성이 결정되기 때문에 구조물의 지진응답해석에서 일반성을 갖는 입력지진동을 선정하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문은 내진설계용 스펙트럼에 적합한 인공지진동파형을 작성한 후, 작성된 인공지진동에 의한 철근콘크리트 다층 골조구조물의 탄소성 응답특성을 분석한 것이다. 여기서 작성된 인공지진동파형은 과거 비교적 큰 규모의 지진에서 얻어진 기록지진동과 동일한 위상각을 가지며, 감쇠정수 h=5%일 때의 내진설계용 스펙트럼과 거의 일치하도록 작성하였다. 입력지진동의 탄성 가속도 응답스펙트럼이 동일한반면, 각 입력지진동띄 위상특성이 다른 인공지진동을 입력하여 다자유도 골조 구조물의 지진응답을 분석하여 건축물의 내진설계용 지진동으로서 타당성을 확인하는 것이 목적이다. 본 논문에서 작성된 인공지진동은 기록지진동에 비해 지진응답치가 안정된 값을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 다층 골조구조물의 비선형 지진응답해석용 입력지진동으로 타당성이 높다고 사료되며, 비선형 지진응답해석용 입력지진동의 강도를 탄성 가속도 응답스펙트럼으로 규준화 하는 것이 합리적이라고 사료된다.

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.
