  • 근단층지반운동(NFGM)은 장주기 성분의 펄스 형태를 갖는 지반운동이다. 이들 근단층지반운동은 1994년 미국 Northridge 지진, 1995년 일본 Kobe 지진, 1999년 터키 Izmit 지진 등과 같은 강진 지역에서 관측되었으며 이들 지진의 진앙이 도시 주변에 위치하여 큰 피해를 초래한 바 있다. 강진 지역에서는 원역단층지반운동(FFGM)에 대해 폭넓은 연구가 수행되었으나 비내진 또는 중저진 지역에서는 NFGM에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구는 주철근 겹침이음이 없는 RC 교각을 근단층지반운동에 대해서 해석 연구하는 것이다. 2기의 RC교각은 진동대 실험으로 근단층지반운동을 가력하였다. 추가로 2기의 RC교각은 준정적 실험으로 나머지 2개의 RC교각은 유사동적 실험으로 수행하였다. 이 논문은 횡방향 철근비가 증가 할수록 더 큰 PGA에서 철근이 파괴된다는 것을 보여준다.

  • The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability of strong motion records processed by causal and acausal Butterworth filters in comparison to the results obtained from a synthetic accelerogram. For this purpose, the fault parallel component of the Bolu record of the Duzce earthquake is modeled with a sum of exponentially damped sinusoidal components. Noise-free velocities and displacements are then obtained by analytically integrating the synthetic acceleration model. The analytical velocity and displacement signals are used as a standard with which to judge the validity of the signals obtained by filtering with causal and acausal filters and numerically integrating the acceleration model. The results show that the acausal filters are clearly preferable to the causal filters due to the fact that the response spectra obtained from the acausal filters match the spectra obtained from the simulated accelerogram better than that obtained by causal filters. The response spectra are independent from the order of the filters and from the method of integration (whether analytical integration after a spline fit to the synthetic accelerogram or the trapezoidal rule). The response spectra are sensitive to the chosen corner frequency of both the causal and the acausal filters and also to the inclusion of the pads. Accurate prediction of the static residual displacement (SRD) is very important for structures traversing faults in the near-fault regions. The greatest adverse effect of the high pass filters is their removal of the SRD. However, the noise-free displacements obtained by double integrating the synthetic accelerogram analytically preserve the SRD. It is thus apparent that conventional high pass filters should not be used for processing near-fault strong-motion records although they can be reliably used for far-fault records if applied acausally. The ground motion parameters such as ARIAS intensity, HUSID plots, Housner spectral intensity and the duration of strong-motion are found to be insensitive to the causality of filters.

  • The gravity measurement has been conducted at 327 station with an interval of 25 m along the survey lines of 1.6 km and 1.7 km traversing Hyungsan river and of 2.35 km and 2.42 km running N-S direction near Heunghae-eup in Pohang basin. Bouguer gravity anomalies were obtained, and geologic structure along four survey lines were interpreted by applying Fourier series and Talwani methods for two demensional body. A fault is in existence along the Hyungsan river, and northern block of it is displaced down by 150 m to 200 m relative to southern one. The thicknesses of Yeonil Group vary from 250 m to 550 m and from 150 m to 300 m in the northern and southern blocks of the fault, respectively. Another fault is in existence running E-W direction near Heunghae-eup, and its southern block is displaced down by about 250 m relative to its northern block. The thicknesses of Yeonil Group vary from 200 m to 400 m and from 500 m to 700 m in the southern and northern blocks of the fault, respectively. Above two faults are normal faults and make a graben structure, which results the age of rocks in the central region between the faults is younger than those of outside regions. This result coincides with that of paleontological study.

  • 최근의 근단층지반운동인 Northridge 지진(1994, 미국), Kobe 지진(1995, 일본), Izmit 지진(1990, 터키)은 큰 수직성분의 영향으로 건축물 및 교량에 심각한 손상을 주었다. 일반적인 건축구조물의 내진설계에서 지진하중의 수직성분을 고려하여 설계하는 경우는 드물다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중의 수직성분 영향의 고려 유무에 따른 예제구조물의 기둥부재의 축력의 변화와 부재 단부의 소성힌지회전각을 산정하여 시스템의 손상상태를 평가하여 보았다. 해석결과 축력의 증가는 기둥부재의 손상에 의한 전체 구조시스템의 story collapse mechanism의 가능성을 주게 되므로 근단층지반운동이 예상되는 부분에서는 지진하중의 수직성분에 대한 영향을 고려하여야할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Buried pipelines can be classified as continuous and segmented pipelines. These infrastructures can be damaged either by ground movement or by seismic wave propagation during an earthquake. Permanent ground deformations (PGD) include surface faulting, liquefaction-induced lateral spreading and landslide. Liquefaction is a major problem for both superstructures and infrastructures. Buyukcekmece lake zone, which is the studied region in this paper, is a liquefaction prone area located near the North Anatolian Fault Line. It is an active fault line in Turkey and a major earthquake with a magnitude of around 7.5 is expected in this investigated region in Istanbul. It is planned to be constructed a new 12" steel natural gas pipeline from one side of the lake to the other side. In this study, this case has been examined in terms of two different support conditions. Firstly, it has been defined as a beam in liquefied soil and has built-in supports at both ends. In the other approach, this case has been modeled as a beam in liquefied soil and has vertical elastic pinned supports at both ends. These models have been examined and some solution proposals have been produced according to the obtained results. In this study, based on this sample, it is aimed to determine the behaviors of buried continuous pipelines subject to liquefaction effects in terms of buoyancy.

  • 근단층지반운동은 진앙거리가 약 10 km 이내인 지역에서 관측되는 장주기 성분의 펄스형태를 갖는 지반운동으로서, 도심지에서 발생할 경우 미국 Northridge(1994), 일본 Kobe(1995), 터키 Izmit(1999), 중국 쓰촨성(2008), 아이티지진(2010) 등과 같이 매우 큰 피해를 야기시킨다. 이에 강진지역에서는 NFGM에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 우리나라와 같은 중약진 지역에서는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 근단층 지반운동을 받는 철근콘크리트 교각의 거동과 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 6기의 실험체에 대하여 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 실험 변수로는 심부구속철근비와 상부질량 크기로서 진동대 실험 결과 심부구속철근비가 적거나 상부질량이 클수록 교각의 내진성능이 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 진동대 실험 결과를 분석하여 지진동을 받는 교각의 강성변화에 대한 심부구속철근비와 질량의 영향을 분석하였으며, 변위연성도와 강성과의 관계식을 제안하였다.

  • Turkey is one of the most important earthquake regions in Europe. This region has been exposed to many earthquakes of different magnitudes from past to present. It is of great importance to determine the dynamic properties of the soils for structures to be built in earthquake zones. In order to minimize the damages that may occur, the behavior of the soils under repeated loads should be known and taken into consideration in the design. In this study, 4 different point borings were taken near active fault lines in the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ). In order to determine the dynamic parameters of soils, both dynamic triaxial (TRX) and resonant column (RC) tests were carried out on undisturbed samples at every 5 m. As a result of the experiments, Vs and Gmax values were obtained from the field and differences were determined. The dynamic behavior of the soil was examined at varying depths with the comparison of reference models in the literature and compatible results were obtained. Finally, the behavior at the transition region is highlighted. As a result, three shear modulus and dumping ratio models have been proposed for clay soils to be used in different soil conditions.

  • A high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study on the lattice defects formed in the high energy P ion implanted silicon was carried out on an atomic level. Results show that Lomer dislocations, 60$^{\circ}$perfect dislocations, 60$^{\circ}$ dislocation dipole and extrinsic stacking fault formed in the near Rp of as-implanted specimen. In the annelaed specimens, interstitial Frank loops, 60$^{\circ}$perfect disolations, 60$^{\circ}$dislocation dipoles, stacking faults, precipitates, perfect dislocation loops and <112> rodlike defects existed exclusively near in the Rp with various annealing temperature and time. From these results, it is concluded that extended secondary defects as well as the point defect clusters could be formed without annealing. Even at low temperature annealing such as 55$0^{\circ}C$, small interstitial Frank loops could be formed and precipitates were also formed by $700^{\circ}C$ annealing. The defect band annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr could be divided into two regions depending on the distribution of the secondary defects.

  • Traditional base isolation systems focus on isolating the seismic response of a structure in the horizontal direction. However, in regions where the vertical earthquake excitation is significant (such as near-fault region), a traditional base-isolated building exhibits a significant vertical vibration. To eliminate this shortcoming, a rocking-isolated system named Telescopic Column (TC) is proposed in this paper. Detailed rocking and isolation mechanism of the TC system is presented. The seismic performance of the TC is compared with the traditional elastomeric bearing (EB) and friction pendulum (FP) base-isolated systems. A 4-storey reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC-MRF) is selected as the reference superstructure. The seismic response of the reference superstructure in terms of column axial forces, base shears, floor accelerations, inter-storey drift ratios (IDR) and collapse margin ratios (CMRs) are evaluated using OpenSees. The results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis subjected to multi-directional earthquake excitations show that the superstructure equipped with the newly proposed TC is more resilient and exhibits a superior response with higher margin of safety against collapse when compared with the same superstructure with the traditional base-isolation (BI) system.

  • This article presents the statistical characteristics of elastic floor acceleration spectra that represent the peak response demand of non-structural components attached to a nonlinear supporting frame. For this purpose, a set of stiff and flexible general moment resisting frames with periods of 0.3-3.6 sec. are analyzed using forty-nine near-field strong ground motion records. Peak accelerations are derived for each single degree of freedom non-structural component, supported by the above mentioned frames, through a direct-integration time-history analysis. These accelerations are obtained by Floor Acceleration Response Spectrum (FARS) method. They are statistically analyzed in the next step to achieve a better understanding of their height-wise distributions. The factors that affect FARS values are found in the relevant state of the art. Here, they are summarized to evaluate the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values especially when the supporting structures undergo inelastic behavior. The properties of FARS values are studied in three regions: long-period, fundamental-period and short-period. Maximum elastic acceleration response of non-structural component, mounted on inelastic frames, depends on the following factors: inelasticity intensity and modal periods of supporting structure; natural period, damping ratio and location of non-structural component. The FARS values, corresponded to the modal periods of supporting structure, are strongly reduced beyond elastic domain. However, they could be amplified in the transferring period domain between the mentioned modal periods. In the next step, the amplification and/or reduction of FARS values, caused by inelastic behavior of supporting structure, are calculated. A parameter called the response acceleration reduction factor ($R_{acc}$), has been previously used for far-field earthquakes. The feasibility of extending this parameter for near-field motions is focused here, suggested repeatedly in the relevant sources. The nonlinearity of supporting structure is included in ($R_{acc}$) for better estimation of maximum non-structural component absolute acceleration demand, which is ordinarily neglected in the seismic design provisions.
