이 연구에서는 3축 방향 지반운동이 작용하는 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 비선형 지진응답 해석을 수행한다. 비선형 거동이 예상되는 구조물과 지반의 근역은 비선형 유한요소에 의해 모형을 구성한다. 기하학적 형상과 재료 성질이 균일하고 선형 거동을 가정하는 원역지반은 무한 영역으로의 에너지 방사를 정확히 고려할 수 있는 3차원 perfectly matched discrete layer에 의해 수치 모형을 구성한다. 이와 같은 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 수치모형을 사용하여 3축 방향 지반운동이 작용하는 비선형 지진-구조물 상호작용계의 지진응답해석을 수행한다. 3축 방향 지반운동이 작용하는 경우에는 입력 지반운동의 특성에 따라 시스템의 응답이 우세하게 발현되는 방향이 존재하고 그 수준 또한 정밀한 지진응답해석을 통해 산정하여야 한다. 이 연구의 해석기법은 구조물과 지반의 재료 비선형 거동, 기초와 지반 경계면에서의 경계 비선형 거동 등 다양한 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 해석에 확장 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

지진규모, 진앙거리, 지반조건 및 가옥의 노후도를 고려하여 역사지진의 규모를 추정하였다. 진진규모 6-8, 진앙거리 5 km-350km, 단단한 지반 및 연약 지반 특성을 갖는 18개의 인공지진파를 작성하여 우리 나라 전통 초가삼간에 대한 비선형 동적해석을 수행하였다. 가옥의 경년에 따른 노후도는 목조 프레임의 수평내력에 관한 이력특성이 선형적으로 감소하는 것으로가정하였다. 초가삼간을 1질점계의 1자유도 모델로 모델링하였으며, 비선형 이력특성은 개량형 Double-Targe모델을 이용하였다. 해석결과 원거리 지진에 대해서는 지진규모, 지반조건 및 노후도에 상관없이 매우 적은 피해를 보였다. 중거리 지진의 경우 연약지반에서 규모 6.5 이상의 지진시 반파 이상의 피해가 발생하였다. 근거리 지진의 경우 지반조건 및 노후도에 상관없이 규모 6.5 이상에서 반파 이상의 피해를 나타내었다. 우리 나라 역사지진의 규모는 약 6.2로 추정된다. 우리 나라에 적합한 지반가속도-진도의 경험식을 제안하였다.

Dynamic response of Pile Supported Structures is highly depended on Soil Pile Structure Interaction. In this paper, by comparison of experimental and numerical dynamic responses of a prototype jacket offshore platform for both hinge based and pile supported boundary conditions, effect of soil-pile-structure interaction on dynamic characteristics of this platform is studied. Jacket and deck of a prototype platform is installed on a hinge-based case first and then platform is installed on eight skirt piles embedded on continuum monolayer sand. Dynamic characteristics of platform in term of natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping are compared for both cases. Effects of adding and removing vertical bracing members in top bay of jacket on dynamic characteristics of platform for both boundary conditions are also studied. Numerical simulation of responses for the studied platform is also performed for both mentioned cases using capability of ABAQUS and SACS software. The 3D model using ABAQUS software is created using solid elements for soil and beam elements for jacket, deck and pile members. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and pile-soil interface element are used for considering nonlinear pile soil structure interaction. Simplified modeling of soil-pile-structure interaction effect is also studied using SACS software. It is observed that dynamic characteristics of the system changes significantly due to soil-pile-structure interaction. Meanwhile, both of complex and simplified (ABAQUS and SACS, respectively) models can predict this effect accurately for such platforms subjected to dynamic loading in small range of deformation.

A computationally efficient algorithm to analyze a group pile behavior is proposed by consideration of both soil-pile and pile-cap interactions. Using toad transfer method the nonlinear characteristics of the soil-pile interaction for a single pile is modeled by piecewise linear soil springs (p-y, t-z, and q-z curves). Beam-column method, one of the most practical approaches, is used for numerical modeling of the soil-pile system. In addition to the group effect resulting from the soil-pile-soil interaction, for a more realistic analysis it is essential to consider the effect of pile-cap interaction including geometric configuration of the piles in a group and conectivity conditions between piles and the cap. This paper mainly focuses on the pile-cap interaction and the development of a rational numerical procedure of its incorporation with the beam-column method.

The main objectives of this work were to investigate the effects of the nonlinear behavior of the isolation pads on the seismic response of bridges with rubber bearings, and to identify when base isolation improved their seismic performance. To achieve these objectives a parametric study was conducted designing a set of bridges for three different soil types and varying the number of spans, span lengths, and pier heights. The seismic responses (accelerations, displacements and pier seismic forces) were evaluated for three different structural models subjected to three earthquakes with different dynamic characteristics. The first represented bridges without base isolation; the second corresponded to the same bridges including now rubber bearings as an isolation system, with linear elastic behavior that shifted the natural period of the bridge by a factor of 2 to 4. In the third model the seismic response of bridges supported on lead-Rubber bearings was studied accounting for the nonlinear behavior of the lead. The results show clearly the importance of the nonlinear behavior on the seismic performance of the bridges.

This paper presents a structural performance assessment of a historical masonry clock tower both using numerical and experimental process. The numerical assessment includes developing of finite element model with considering different types of soil-structure interaction systems, identifying the numerical dynamic characteristics, finite element model updating procedure, nonlinear time-history analysis and evaluation of seismic performance level. The experimental study involves determining experimental dynamic characteristics using operational modal analysis test method. Through the numerical and experimental processes, the current structural behavior of the masonry clock tower was evaluated. The first five experimental natural frequencies were obtained within 1.479-9.991 Hz. Maximum difference between numerical and experimental natural frequencies, obtained as 20.26%, was reduced to 4.90% by means of the use of updating procedure. According to the results of the nonlinear time-history analysis, maximum displacement was calculated as 0.213 m. The maximum and minimum principal stresses were calculated as 0.20 MPa and 1.40 MPa. In terms of displacement control, the clock tower showed only controlled damage level during the applied earthquake record.

It is very important to evaluate the reliable nonlinear modulus characteristics of soils not only in the analysis of geotechnical structures under working stress conditions but also for the soil dynamic problems. For the evaluation of modulus characteristics of soils, various tests have been mostly employed in laboratory. However, different testing techniques are likely to have different ranges of reliable strain measurements, different applied stress level, and different loading frequencies, and the modulus of soils can be affected by these variables. For reliable evaluation, therefore, those effects on the modulus need to be considered, and measured values should be effectively adjusted to actual conditions where the soil is working. In this paper, to evaluate the modulus characteristics of soils, laboratory testing such as free-free resonant column (FF-RC), resonant column (RC), torsional shear (TS), static TX, and cyclic M/sub R/ tests were performed. The effects of strain amplitude, loading frequency, loading cycles, confining pressure, density, and water content on modulus were investigated. It is shown that the FF-RC test, which is simple and inexpensive testing technique, can provide a reliable estimation of small strain Young's modulus (E/sub max/), and the modulus evaluated by various laboratory tests are comparable to each other fairly well when the effects of these factors are properly taken into account.

강진을 고려한 지진설계 규준은 약진지역에서는 불필요한 경제적 손실을 가져을 수 있고, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 성능기준 설계가 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서 중요하다는 것이 인식되었다. 이 연구에서는 연약지반 위에 놓인 단자유도계의 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 해석을 지반의 비선형성을 고려하여 최대지진가속도를 0.07g와 0.11g로 조정한 11개 약진에 대해 수행하였다. 지진응답해석은 지반-구조물체계에 대해 유사 3차원 동적해석 프로그램으로 암반에 지진기록을 입력하여 한 단계에 일괄적으로 수행하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 고정지반이나 선형지반을 가정한 지진응답 스펙트럼은 구조물-지반체계의 실제적인 거동을 보여주지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 합리적인 지진설계를 위해서는 지진규준에 정해진 일상적인 설계절차에 다라서 수행하는 것보다 다른 성질을 가진 여러 지반에 대해서 성능기준 지진설계를 수행하는 것이 필요하다. 약진을 받는 연약지반의 비선형성도 입력지진동을 증폭시켜 탄성, 비탄성 지진응답 스펙트럼에 심하게 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 현상은 특히 탄성 응답스펙트럼에서 두드러졌다.

불포화토에 대한 흐름문제를 해석하기 위해서는 비선형으로 표시되는 부간극수압과 함수비 사이의 관계를 알아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 주문진 표준사, 한강모래 및 세립함유율이 다른 몇가지 화강풍화토에 대하여 2가지 실험기구로 이 관계를 측정하고 그 특성을 규명하였다. 여기서 얻은 자료를 이용하여 이 관계를 실험없이 추정가능한 경험식에 쓰이는 경험상수들을 얻었다. 몇가지 경험식중 van Genuchten(1980)의 것이 실험곡선과 잘 부합된다. 화강풍화토에 대해서는 세립함유율(No.200체 통과율)의 증가에 따라 경험상수들도 거의 일정하게 증가하는 경향을 보인다는 것을 알게 되었다. 따라서 이 관계를 이용하여 화강풍화토에 대한 함수특성곡선의 추정이 가능하다.

In current seismic design codes, various elastic design acceleration spectra are defined considering different seismological and soil characteristics and are widely used tool for calculation of seismic loads acting on structures. Response spectrum analyses directly use the elastic design acceleration spectra whereas time history analyses use acceleration records of earthquakes whose acceleration spectra fit the design spectra of seismic codes. Due to the fact that obtaining coherent structural response quantities with the seismic design code considerations is a desired circumstance in dynamic analyses, the response spectra of earthquake records used in time history analyses had better fit to the design acceleration spectra of seismic codes. This paper evaluates structural response distributions of multi-story reinforced concrete frames obtained from nonlinear time history analyses which are performed by using the scaled earthquake records compatible with various elastic design spectra. Time domain scaling procedure is used while processing the response spectrum of real accelerograms to fit the design acceleration spectra. The elastic acceleration design spectra of Turkish Seismic Design Code 2007, Uniform Building Code 1997 and Eurocode 8 are considered as target spectra in the scaling procedure. Soil classes in different seismic codes are appropriately matched up with each other according to $V_{S30}$ values. The maximum roof displacements and the total base shears of considered frame structures are determined from nonlinear time history analyses using the scaled earthquake records and the results are presented by graphs and tables. Coherent structural response quantities reflecting the influence of elastic design spectra of various seismic codes are obtained.
