이 논문에서는 안정대륙권역(Stable Continental Regions, SCRs)에서의 중규모 지진에 의한 근단층지반운동(Near Fault Ground Motion, NFGM) 모델을 처음으로 제시한다. 근단층지반운동은 큰 진폭의 장주기 속도 펄스를 갖는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이 속도 펄스를 모델링하기 위해서는 그 주기와 진폭을 지진의 규모와 단층거리의 함수로 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 그런데 안정대륙권역에서는 관측 자료가 빈약하여 지진데이터로부터 이 관계식을 직접 유도하는 것은 어렵기 때문에 이 연구에서는 간접적인 접근법을 채택하였다. 속도 펄스의 주기와 진폭은 단층파열의 상승시간과 파열속도의 함수임이 알려져 있고 활성구조권역(Active Tectonic Regions, ATRs)에 속하는 미국 서부지역에서는 실험적 공식이 확립되어 있다. 안정대륙권역에서의 상승시간과 단층파열속도의 지진규모에 대한 함수관계는 WUS와 CEUS에서의 자료를 비교하여 도출하였다. 이 관계식들로부터 안정대륙권역에서의 NFGM의 속도 펄스의 주기와 진폭을 지진규모 및 단층 거리에 대한 관계식으로 유도하였다. 안정대륙권역에서의 NFGM의 가속도 시간이력은 추계학적으로 생성된 원역지진지반가속도에 새로운 관계식에 의한 속도 펄스를 중첩하여 얻어진다. 적용 예제로서 탄소성 단자유도 시스템의 근단층지반운동에 대한 응답을 분석하였다.

Earthquakes can lead to substantial damage to buildings, with long-period ground motion being particularly destructive. The design of high-performance building structures has become a prominent focus of research. The double-story isolated structure is a novel type of isolated structure developed from base isolated structure. To delve deeper into the building performance of double-story isolated structures, the double-story isolated structure was constructed with the upper isolated layer located in different layers, alongside a base isolated structure for comparative analysis. Nonlinear elastoplastic analyses were conducted on these structures using different ground motion inputs, including ordinary ground motion, near-field impulsive ground motion, and far-field harmonic ground motion. The results demonstrate that the double-story isolated structure can extend the structural period further than the base isolated structure under three types of ground motions. The double-story isolated structure exhibits lower base shear, inter-story displacement, base isolated layer displacement, story shear, and maximum acceleration of the top layer, compared to the base isolated structure. In addition, the double-story isolated structure generates fewer plastic hinges in the frame, causes less damage to the core tube, and experiences smaller overturning moments, demonstrating excellent resistance to overturning and a shock-absorbing effect. As the upper isolated layer is positioned higher, the compressive stress on the isolated bearings of the upper isolated layer in the double-story isolated structure gradually decreases. Moreover, the compressive stress on the isolated bearings of the base isolated layer is lower compared to that of the base isolated structure. However, the shock-absorbing capacity of the double-story isolated structure is significantly increased when the upper isolated layer is located in the middle and lower section. Notably, in regions exposed to long-period ground motion, a double-story isolated structure can experience greater seismic response and reduced shock-absorbing capacity, which may be detrimental to the structure.

As the residual displacement and/or drift demands are commonly used for seismic assessment of buildings, the estimation of these values play a very critical role through earthquake design philosophy. The residual displacement estimation of fixed base structures has been the topic of numerous researches up to now, but the effect of soil flexibility is almost always omitted. In this study, residual displacement demands are investigated for SDOF systems with period range of 0.1-3.0 s for near-field and far-field ground motions for both fixed and interacting cases. The elastoplastic model is used to represent non-degrading structures. Based on time history analyses, a new simple yet effective equation is proposed for residual displacement demand of any system whether fixed base or interacting as a function of structural period, lateral strength ratio and spectral displacement.

지진시 지진의 3가지 진동 성분이 나타난다. 즉 수평진동 성분, 지반의 연직 진동에 의해 발생된 상부 구조물과의 피드백의 의한 말뚝의 연지 진동, 그리고 연직 지반 진동에 의한 해수의 진동, 즉, 해진이 그것들이다 이들 진동들을 해양에 설치된 개단 강관 말뚝 주변에 유발된 간극수압의 크기와 관내토 폐색력에 영향을 미칠수 있다 지반과 말뚝의 진동은 유사 지진 진동으로써 흙과 말뚝을 진동시켜서 모델링할 수 있지만 연직 지반 거동에 의해 유발된 해진 진동은 해저면에 정현파 형상의 동수압을 가해주어 모델링할 수 있다 이 연구에서는 유사화된 지진과 해진시 압력토조에 설치된 개단강관말뚝에 유발된 간극수압의 발생양상과 이에 따라 관내토 폐색력의 저감원인을 관찰하였다 연직 지진 진동시 관내토 상단에서는 관내토 하단에서와 비슷한 크기의 간극수압이 발생하였으므로 관내토에서는 상향의 침토가 유발되지 않았으며수평지진 진동시 관내토에서는 상향의 침트를 유발시켜 관내토 폐쇄력을 20%정도 저감시켰다. 해진시 수심이 220m 이상의 심해에 설치된 개단 강과 말뚝의 경우 관내토 하부 지반과 관대토 상단과의 매우 큰 동수경사로 인하여 관내토 내에 상향의 침투가 발생하여 관내토의 폐색을 파괴시켰다.

Base isolation is a well-established passive strategy for seismic response control of buildings. In this paper, an efficient framework is proposed for reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of isolated buildings subjected to uncertain earthquakes. The framework uses reduced function evaluations method, as an efficient tool for structural reliability analysis, and an efficient optimization algorithm for optimal structural design. The probability of failure is calculated considering excessive base displacement, superstructure inter-storey drifts, member stress ratios and absolute accelerations of floors of the isolated building as failure events. The behavior of rubber bearing isolators is modeled using nonlinear hysteretic model and the variability of future earthquakes is modeled by applying a probabilistic approach. The effects of pulse component of stochastic near-fault ground motions, fixity-factor of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections, values of isolator parameters, earthquake magnitude and epicentral distance on the performance and safety of semi-rigidly connected base-isolated steel framed buildings are studied. Suitable RBDO examples are solved to illustrate the results of investigations.

Friction isolators are one of the most important types of bearings used to mitigate damages of earthquakes. The adaptive behavior of these isolators allows them to achieve multiple levels of performances and predictable seismic behavior during different earthquake hazard levels. There are three main types of friction isolators. The first generation with one sliding surface is known as Friction Pendulum System (FPS) isolators. The double concave friction pendulum (DCFP) with two sliding surfaces is an advanced form of FPS, and the third one, with fully adaptive behavior, is named as triple concave friction pendulum (TCFP). The current study has been conducted to investigate and compare seismic responses of these three types of isolators. The structure is idealized as a two-dimensional single degree of freedom (SDOF) resting on isolators. The coupled differential equations of motion are derived and solved using state space formulation. Seismic responses of isolated structures using each one of these isolators are investigated under seven near fault earthquake motions. The peak values of bearing displacement and base shear are studied employing the variation of essential parameters such as superstructure period, effective isolation period and effective damping of isolator. The results demonstrate a more efficient seismic behavior of TCFP isolator comparing to the other types of isolators. This efficiency depends on the selected effective isolation period as well as effective isolation damping. The investigation shows that increasing the effective isolation period or decreasing the effective isolation damping improves the seismic behavior of TCFP compared to the other isolators. The maximum difference in seismic responses, the base shear and the bearing displacement, for the TCFP isolator are calculated 26.8 and 13.4 percent less than the DCFP and FPS in effective isolation damping equal to10%, respectively.

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.

This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. The horizontal and rocking motions of the structure are included in this study. The fluid motion is expressed in terms of analytical velocity potential functions, which can be obtained by solving the boundary value problem including the deformed configuration of the structure as well as the sloshing behavior of the fluid. The effect of the fluid is included in the equation of motion as the impulsive added mass and the frequency-dependent convective added mass along the nodes on the wetted boundary of the structure. The structure and the near-field soil medium are represented using the axisymmetric finite elements, while the far-field soil is modeled using dynamic infinite elements. The present method can be applied to the structure embedded in ground as well as on ground, since it models both the soil medium and the structure directly. For the purpose of verification, earthquake response analyses are performed on several cases of liquid tanks on a rigid ground and on a homogeneous elastic half-space. Comparison of the present results with those by other methods shows good agreement. Finally, an application example of a reinforced concrete tank on a horizontally layered soil with a rigid bedrock is presented to demonstrate the importance of the soil-structure interaction effects in the seismic analysis for large liquid storage tanks.

Due to their efficient use of materials, hybrid reinforced concrete-steel (RCS) systems provide more practical and economic advantages than traditional steel and concrete moment frames. This study evaluated the seismic design factors and response modification factor 'R' of RCS composite moment frames composed of reinforced concrete (RC) columns and steel (S) beams. The current International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE/SEI 7-05 classify RCS systems as special moment frames and provide an R factor of 8 for these systems. In this study, seismic design parameters were initially quantified for this structural system using an R factor of 8 based on the global methodology provided in FEMA P695. For analyses, multi-story (3, 5, 10, and 15) and multi-span (3 and 5) archetypes were used to conduct nonlinear static pushover analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) under near-field and far-field ground motions. The analyses were performed using the OpenSees software. The procedure was reiterated with a larger R factor of 9. Results of the performance evaluation of the investigated archetypes demonstrated that an R factor of 9 achieved the safety margin against collapse outlined by FEMA P695 and can be used for the design of RCS systems.
