The optimal seismic retrofitting of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) cabinet structures that contained class 1 relays were studies in this paper. During earthquake event, the failure modes of relays are not appeared in form of structural failure, but are appeared in form of contact chatter of relay. Therefore, the retrofitting of cabinet has to be aimed to the reducing of the structural response, such as acceleration. In this study, the optimal characteristic values of dampers were searched by μ-GA (micro-Genetic Algorithm) scheme for several installation patterns. To keep accuracy and efficiency of analysis, the structural models of cabinet were considered as a frame structure. The responses of structure were obtained in form of acceleration response spectra derived from the results of nonlinear time history analysis including damping nonlinearity. The fitness function of the optimum procedure was constructed based on the ratio of maximum spectral value and target GERS (General Equipment Ruggedness Spectra). The results show the good improvements of fitness fur adequate retrofitting pattern. Especially, the improvements of fitness were remarkable when the damping exponents are proper.

규모 5 이상의 경주지진과 포항지진이 발생한 이후에도 한반도 남동부에서는 여전히 수백 건의 여진과 미소 지진이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 현상은 응력이 계속 작용하고 있다는 것을 의미하며, 또 다른 큰 지진이 발생할 수도 있음을 암시한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한반도 남동부 포항-울산지역의 심부 지질구조를 분석하기 위해 중력장 해석 방법을 사용하였다. 먼저 연구지역의 부족한 중력 데이터를 수집하기 위해, 중력 탐사를 시행하여 기존 자료보다 정밀한 부게 중력이상을 계산하였다. 중력이상 데이터를 바탕으로 역산 방법인 "곡률 분석 (Curvature analysis)"과 "오일러 곱풀기 방법(Euler deconvolution method)"을 이용하여, 한반도 남동부의 심부 단층의 위치 및 방향성과 최대 깊이를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구지역에는 최소 6개의 심부 단층(C1~C6)이 존재하는 것으로 해석된다. 심부 단층선 C1은 방향성과 위치가 연일구조선과 일치하는 것으로 보아, 연일구조선이 최대 약 4000m 깊이까지 이어져 있는 것으로 해석된다. 심부 단층선 C2는 여러 개의 분절된 단층들로 이루어져 있으며, 지표의 단층들과 잘 대비된다. 심부 단층선 C3, C4와 C5는 북서-남동 방향의 울산단층과 평행한 방향성을 가지는 것으로 분석되며, 초기 백악기에 남북 방향의 응력을 받아 형성되었으나 퇴적물에 덮여 지표에 드러나지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 심부 단층선 C6는 북동-남서 방향성을 가지며, 어일분지의 동쪽 경계단층이 심부로 이어져 있는 것으로 사료된다. 분석한 심부 단층선과 미소 지진 발생 현황을 대비한 결과, 심부 단층선 C1과 2018년~2019년 동안 한반도 남동부에서 발생한 미소 지진의 분포가 대략 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 심부에 존재하는 단층과 최근 발생하는 지진이 연관이 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Turkey is located in one of the most seismically active regions of in Europe. The majority of the population living in big cities are at high seismic risk due to insufficient structural resistance of the existing buildings. Such a seismic risk brings the need for a comprehensive seismic evaluation based on the risk analysis in Turkey. Determining the seismic resistance level of existing building stock against the earthquakes is the first step to reduce the damages in a possible earthquake. Recently in January 2020, the Elazig earthquake brought the importance of the issue again in the public. However, the excessive amount of building stock, labor, and resource problems made the implementation phase almost impossible and revealed the necessity to carry out alternative studies on this issue. This study aims for a detailed investigation of residential buildings in Antalya, Turkey. The approach proposed here can be considered an improved state of building survey methods previously identified in Turkey's Design Code. Antalya, Turkey's fifth most populous city, with a population over 2.5 Million, was investigated as divided into sub-regions to understand the vulnerability, and a threshold value found for the study area. In this study, 26,610 reinforced concrete buildings between 1 to 7 stories in Antalya were examined by using the rapid visual assessment method. A specific threshold value for the city of Antalya was determined with the second level examination and statistical methods carried out in the determined sub-region. With the micro zonation process, regions below the threshold value are defined as the priority areas that need to be examined in detail. The developed methodology can be easily calibrated for application in other cities and can be used to determine new threshold values for those cities.

Friction energy dissipative devices have been increasingly implemented as structural seismic damage protecting systems due to their excellent seismic energy dissipating capacity and high stiffness. This study develops rotational friction energy dissipative devices and verifies experimentally their cyclic response. Based on the understanding of the differences between the traditional linear-motion friction behavior and the rotational friction behavior, the configuration of the frictional surface was determined by investigating the characteristics of the micro-friction behavior. The friction surface suggested in this paper consists of brake-lining pads and stainless steel sheets and is normally stressed by high-strength bolts. Based upon these frictional characteristics of the selected interface, the rotational friction energy dissipative devices were developed. Bolt torque-bearing force tests, rotational friction tests of the suggested friction interfaces were carried out to identify their frictional behavior. Test results show that the bearing force is almost linearly proportional to the applied bolt torque and presents stable cyclic response regardless of the experimental parameters selected this testing program. Finally, cyclic tests of the rotational friction energy dissipative devices were performed to find out their structural characteristics and to confirm their stable cyclic response. The developed friction energy dissipative devices present very stable cyclic response and meet the requirements for displacement-dependent energy dissipative devices prescribed in ASCE/SEI 7-10.

Ubiquitous computing is one of the key technology areas in the "Project on Development of Ubiquitous computing and network technology" promoted by the Ministry of Science and Technology as a frontier business of the $21^{st}$ century in Korea, which is based on the new concept merging physical space and computer-based cyber space. With recent advances in Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, low cost and low-power consumption wireless micro sensor nodes have been available. Using these smart sensor nodes, there are many activities to monitor real world, for example, habitat monitoring, earthquake monitoring and so on. In this paper, we introduce web-based real environment monitoring system incorporating wireless sensor nodes. It collects sensing data produced by some wireless sensor nodes and stores them into a database system to analyze. Our environment monitoring system is composed of a networked camera and environmental sensor nodes, which are called Mica2 and developed by University of California at Berkeley. We have modified and ported network protocols over TinyOS and developed a monitoring application program using the MTS310 and MTS420 sensors that are able to observe temperature, relative humidity, light and accelerator. The sensed data can be accessed user-friendly because our environment monitoring system supports web-based user interface. Moreover, in this system, we can setup threshold values so the system supports a function to inform some anomalous events to administrators. Especially, the system shows two useful pre-processed data as a kind of practical uses: a discomfort index and a septicity index. To make both index values, the system restores related data from the database system and calculates them according to each equation relatively. We can do enormous works using wireless sensor technologies, but just environment monitoring. In this paper, we show just one of the plentiful applications using sensor technologies.

국내 대규모 지진 이후 구조물의 내진에 대한 연구 필요성이 커짐에 따라 행정안전부에서는 기존의 내진설계기준 공통적용사항을 개정하여 국가내진성능 목표치를 상향하였으며 새로 개정된 내진설계기준의 성능목표치에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실제 노후화된 Test-Bed의 댐 제체와 내부에 매립되어 있는 수압철관과 유체를 여러 변수를 도입하여 3차원 유한요소법으로 모델링 하였으며 수압철관 내부 유체의 동수압으로 인한 거동을 분석하고 개정된 현행 내진설계 기준법에 부합하는 지진파에 대한 댐 제체와 수압철관의 안전성을 확인하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석결과 수압철관의 수충격에 의한 응력변화가 매우 작았으며 이를 통해 지진상황에서 수충격 보다 동수압의 영향이 더 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 동수압이 SPH 형태인 경우 지진동으로 인한 유체의 거동과 응력 발생 위치를 유효하게 나타낼 수 있으며 취약부 분석에 더욱 용이할 것으로 분석되었다. 부식을 고려한 해석결과 수압철관이 제체의 매립되어 있기 때문에 응력 분산의 정도가 작아져 강재 항복응력의 1% 이하로 매우 작은 응력결과를 보였다. 또한 콘크리트 댐 제체의 상류 유입부의 미소 인장균열 발생 가능성이 있으나 수압철관의 응력증가에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 개정된 유효지반가속도의 지진상황에서 안전한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a new approach to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for local seismic disaster preventing system in densely populated area. The seismic data measured in the local site includes various sensing noises (offset or measurement noise) and man-made/natural noises (road and rail traffic noise, rotating or hammering machinery noise, human activity noise such as walking and running, wind/atmospheric pressure-generated noise, etc.). These additive noises are different in time and frequency characters. The proposed method uses 3-stages processing to reduce these different additive noises. In the first stage, misalignment offset noise are diminished by time average processing, and then the second and third stages, coherent/incoherent noises such as man-made/natural noises are suppressed by array stacking. In addition, we derived the theoretical equation of the SNR gain improved by the proposed method. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulations were performed with real seismic data and test equipment generated data as the input.

In this study, to observe aging effect of undrained shear behavior for Nak-Dong River sand, undrained static and cyclic triaxial tests were performed with changing relative density ($D_r$), consolidation stress ratio($K_c$) and consolidation time. As a result of the test, the modulus of elasticity to all samples estimated within elastic zone by the micro strain of about 0.05% in case of static shear behavior increased with the lapse of consolidation time significantly, so aging effect was shown largely. Also strength of phase transformation point(S_{PT}$) and strength of critical stress ratio point($S_{CSR}$) increased with the lapse of consolidation time. Undrained cyclic shear strength($R_f$) obtained from the failure strain 5% increased in proportion to relative density($D_r$) and initial static shear stress($q_{st}$), $R_f$ of consolidated sample for 1,000 minutes increased about 10.6% compared to that for 10 minutes at the loose sand, and $R_f$ increased about 7.0% at the medium sand. In situ application range of $R_f$ to the magnitude of earthquake for Nak-Dong River sand was proposed by using a increasing rate of $R_f$ as being aging effect shown from this test result.

도시의 많은 교량 구조물은 내구연한 및 노후 상태에 따라 외형적 변형이 발생하고, 지진과 태풍 등은 노후 시설물의 변형을 더욱 악화시키고 있다. 불규칙하고 미세한 점진적 외형 변형은 육안으로 확인하기 어렵고, 시설물의 성능을 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 최근에 교량 구조물의 이상 거동을 실시간의 무선 방식으로 검지하는 기술이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 자이로스코프를 이용하여 구조물의 미소한 물리적 변화량을 실시간으로 측정하는 변위측정모듈을 개발하였다. 개발된 계측 모듈의 성능은 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 사용연한과 지진 등의 영향으로 균열손상이 주요부재에서 발생되며, 이러한 손상을 보수하기 위해 많은 시간과 노력이 낭비되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 소형 리드스위치 센서를 휨시험체 내외부에 매입하거나 부착하여 외력에 의한 균열손상을 스스로 나타내는 스마트 부재에 대하여 연구하였다. 균열손상을 모니터링하기 위해 RF시스템을 리드 스위치센서와 이용하였다. 휨시험체 중앙에 하중이 재하되면 매입되거나 부착된 리드 스위치센서가 파괴되고, 이와 연결된 RF시스템은 손상정보를 전달한다. 본 연구는 무선주파수를 응용한 건축부재의 손상자현 시스템에 대한 기초적 연구이다.
