본 연구는 우리나라에서 저층 주거용 건물로 널리 사용되고 있는 2층 규모의 비보강조적조 의 1/3 축소 모델에 대한 진동대 실험을 수행한 것이다. 본 연구의 주목적은 내진설계가 이루어지지 않은 조적조 건물의 내진거동을 살펴보고, 실험적 자료를 확보하는데 있다. 실험대상구조물은 횡방향으로는 대칭이지만 종방향으로는 약간 비대칭이고, 비교적 강한 다이어프램을 나타내는 콘크리트 슬래브로 되어있다. 실험체에 대한 모의 지진하중은 가속도를 점차 증가시켜가면서 종방향으로 가력하였다. 실험에서 얻은 구조물의 동적 응답자료는 진동대의 입력지진과 연관지어서 분석하였다. 더욱이 성능기초설계를 위한 성능수준을 제시하였다. 실험결과 1층에서의 전단파괴가 지배적이고 상부층은 강체거동을 보여주었다. 또한 균열 발생후에도 상당한 강도와 변형능력을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구의목적은 여러 수준의 지진에 대한 비내진 상세를 가진 저층 모멘트 저항 골조의 실제 반응을 관찰하기 위한 것이다. 우선 모델에 대한 축소율은 사용된 진동대의 용량을 고려하여 1 : 5 로 결정하였으며 상사성의 법칙에 따라 모델을 제작하였다. 그 다음에 이 모델에 대해 Taft N21E 지진가속도 기록의 최대 지진가속도를 0.12g. 0.2g, 0.4g로 조정하여 진동대를 이용한 지진모의실험을 수행하였다. 각 층별 횡방향 가속도와 변위, 그리고 구조물의 취약부위에서 국부변형이 측정되었다. 밑면 전단력은 손수 만든 로드셀을 이용하여 측정하엿다. 각 지진모의실험 전과 후에는 고유주기와 감쇠비의 변화를 살펴보기 위해 자유진동실험을 수행하였다. 전체거동과 국부거동에 대한 실험결과를 분석한 결과, 이 모델은 우리나라의 현행 내진 설계 기준에서의 설계지진 즉, 0.12g의 최대 지진가속에 대해서는 선형탄성으로 거동하였다. 최대 밑면 전단력은 1.8tf 로 설계 밑면 전단력의 약 4.7배로나타났다.이 실험모델은 높은 수준의 지진모의실험에서도 양호한 성능을 나타내었다. 높은 수준의지진에 대한 저항의 주요요소는 1)높은 초과강도, 2)기본주기의 증가, 그리고 3)비탄성 변형에 의한 얼마간의 에너지소산이다. 이 실험에서 모델의 층간변위는 대략 허용한계 내에 있었다.

Performance of a prototype base isolated building located at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) has been studied here. Two numbers of three storeyed single bay RCC framed prototype buildings were constructed for experimental purpose at IITG, one supported on conventional isolated footings and the other on a seismic isolation system, consisting of lead plug bearings. Force balance accelerometers and a 12 channel strong motion recorder have been used for recording building response during seismic events. Floor responses from these buildings show amplification for the conventional building while 60 to 70% reduction has been observed for the isolated building. Numerical models of both the buildings have been created in SAP2000 Nonlinear. Infill walls have been modeled as compression struts and have been incorporated into the 3D models using Gap elements. System identification of the recorded data has been carried out using Parametric State Space Modeling (N4SID) and the numerical models have been updated accordingly. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of base isolation systems in controlling seismic response of isolated buildings thereby leading to increased levels of seismic protection. The numerical models calibrated by relatively low level of earthquake shaking provides the starting point for modeling the non-linear response of the building when subjected to strong shaking.

As public acceptance of nuclear energy in Korea worsens due to the Fukushima accident and the earthquakes that occurred in the Gyeongju area near the Wolsong nuclear power plant (NPP), estimating the effects of earthquakes has become more essential for the nuclear industry. Currently, most countermeasures against earthquakes are limited to large-scale disasters. Minor-scale earthquakes used to be ignored. Even though people do not feel the shaking due to minor earthquakes and minor earthquakes incur little damage to NPPs, they can change the environmental conditions, for instance, underground water level and the conductivity of the groundwater. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of residents living in the vicinity of an NPP to determine their perception and acceptance of plant safety against minor earthquakes. The results show that the residents feel earthquakes at levels that can be felt by people, but incur little damage to NPPs, as minor earthquakes (magnitude of 2.0-3.9) and set this level as a standard for countermeasures. Even if a minor earthquake has little impact on the safety of an NPP, there is still a possibility that public opinion will get worse. This study provides analysis results about problems of earthquake measures of Korean NPPs and specific things that can bring about an effect of deterioration of public acceptance. Based on these data, this article suggests that active management of minor earthquakes is necessary for the sustainability of nuclear energy.

Knowing the response of buildings to earthquakes is very important in order to ensure that a structure is able to withstand a given level of ground shaking. Thus, nonlinear dynamic earthquake engineering analyses are unavoidable and are preferable procedure in the seismic assessment of buildings. In order to estimate seismic performance on the basis of the hazard at the site where the structure is located, the selection of appropriate seismic input is known to be a critical step while performing this kind of analysis. In this paper, seismic analysis is performed for a four-story reinforced concrete ISPRA frame structure which is designed according to Eurocode 8 (EC8). A total of 90 different earthquake scenarios were selected, 30 for each of three target spectrums, EC8 spectrum, Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS), and Conditional Mean Spectrum (CMS). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the average maximum Inter-story Drift Ratio (IDR) for each target spectrum. Time history analysis for every earthquake record was obtained and, as a result, IDR as the main measure of damage were presented in order to compare with defined performance levels of reinforced concrete bare frames.

This research investigates a rotary disk with variable cross-section and incompressible hyperelastic material with functionally graded properties in large hyperelastic deformations. For this purpose, a power relation has been used to express the changes in cross-section and properties of hyperelastic material. So that (m) represents the changes in cross-section and (n) represents the manner of changes in material properties. The constants used for hyperelastic material have been obtained from experimental data. The obtained equations have been solved for different m, n, and (angular velocity) values, and the values of radial stresses, tangential stresses, and elongation have been compared. The results show that m and n have a significant impact on disk behavior, so the expected behavior of the disk can be obtained by an optimal selection of these two parameters.

An equivalent linearization technique based on Rayleigh peak distribution for friction damper and brace system (FDBS) under stochastic excitation is proposed. For verification, shaking table test of a small scale 3-story building model with the FDBS is conducted for various slip moment levels. Using experimental result, equivalent linearization of the FDBS is conducted based on Rayleigh peak distribution, which is compared with measured peak distribution. For comparative study, model updating technique is applied based on identified modal properties. Finally, complex modal analysis and time history analysis for the obtained equivalent linear systems are conducted and compared with experimental result.

The prototype ASME III motor actuated Y-type globe valve has been tested to identify dynamic characteristics. The valve is Seismic Category I equipment and has the function to control water flow in the safety-related system. In this study, two different types of structural identification test i.e. swept sine and broadband random, have been performed at various levels of excitation to verify the effects of test method and excitation level on cross coupling effect as well as natural frequencies and damping values. It was found that swept sine test and broadband random test showed similar natural frequencies, and that the primary interaction was exhibited between horizontal and vertical axes.

A bio-inspired two-mode structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on the Na$\ddot{i}$ve Bayes (NB) classification method is discussed in this paper. To implement the molecular biology based Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) array concept in structural health monitoring, which has been demonstrated to be superior in disease detection, two types of array expression data have been proposed for the development of the SHM algorithm. For the micro-vibration mode, a two-tier auto-regression with exogenous (AR-ARX) process is used to extract the expression array from the recorded structural time history while an ARX process is applied for the analysis of the earthquake mode. The health condition of the structure is then determined using the NB classification method. In addition, the union concept in probability is used to improve the accuracy of the system. To verify the performance and reliability of the SHM algorithm, a downscaled eight-storey steel building located at the shaking table of the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) was used as the benchmark structure. The structural response from different damage levels and locations was collected and incorporated in the database to aid the structural health monitoring process. Preliminary verification has demonstrated that the structure health condition can be precisely detected by the proposed algorithm. To implement the developed SHM system in a practical application, a SHM prototype consisting of the input sensing module, the transmission module, and the SHM platform was developed. The vibration data were first measured by the deployed sensor, and subsequently the SHM mode corresponding to the desired excitation is chosen automatically to quickly evaluate the health condition of the structure. Test results from the ambient vibration and shaking table test showed that the condition and location of the benchmark structure damage can be successfully detected by the proposed SHM prototype system, and the information is instantaneously transmitted to a remote server to facilitate real-time monitoring. Implementing the bio-inspired two-mode SHM practically has been successfully demonstrated.

최근 빈번한 지진발생으로 인한 구조물에 대한 안전성에 대한 관심이 증대하는 가운데 면진시스템은 신축 구조물뿐만 아니라 기존 구조물에 대해서도 구조물 자체의 기능이나 미관을 손상시키지 않고 효과적으로 내진성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이며, 지진을 경험한 외국에서 이미 그 효율성이 입증된 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 스테인리스 물탱크를 대상으로 지진에 대한 안전성 확보를 위해 천연고무받침(NRB)을 이용한 면진시스템을 제안하였다. 이에 대해 비면진 물탱크와 천연고무받침이 설치된 물탱크의 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 진동대 실험을 실시하였다. 물탱크에 변위계를 설치한 후 0.0m, 1.5m, 2.5m 수위별로 인공지진파 0.154g, 0.231g, 0.341g, 0.348g를 가진하여 비면진 물탱크와 천연고무받침이 설치된 물탱크에 거동 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 진동대 실험 결과 수위 2.5m의 경우 면진 물탱크에서 전반적으로 면진시스템의 감쇠효과가 나타나지만, 수위 0.0m, 1.5m의 경우 비면진 물탱크보다 면진 물탱크에서 큰 변위가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 물탱크 수위에 따른 중량이 면진시스템의 감쇠효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되며 면진시스템을 이용하여 물탱크의 내진 보강을 할 경우 유체의 저장 수위에 따라 지진격리받침을 설계해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
