The spent fuel handling tool is used to handle the refuel bundle and treated by hoist rope on the bridge crane. The new developed handling tool of NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) should be conformed the structural stability under earthquake condition. In this study, the stress and seismic analysis of the handling tool are performed by finite element method.

The seismic responses of a base isolated Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) are investigated using a mathematical model which expresses the superstructure as lumped mass-spring model and the seismic isolator as an equivalent spring-damper. Time history analyses are performed for the 1940 E1 Centre earthquakes in both horizontal and vertical directions. In the analysis, structural damping of 5% is used for the superstructure. The isolator damping ratios of 12% for horizontal and 5% for vertical directions are used. The acceleration responses in base isolated PWR superstructure with high damping rubber bearings are much smaller than those in fixed base structure in horizontal direction. However, the vertical acceleration responses at the superstructure in the base isolation system are amplified to some extent. It is suggested that the vertical seismic responses at the superstructure should be reduced by introducing a soft vertical isolation device.

Many researches have been studied several vibration control device such as TMD and TLD to reduce the influence of wind or seismic waves for high-rise buildings. TLD provides some advantages such as easy installation and low maintenance cost. However, because of the difficulties in evaluating the characteristics of TLD, the dynamic characteristics of TLD must be investigated by experiment or analysis. In this study, the dynamic response analysis of structure with TLD was carried out to verify the vibration control ability of the proposed TLD for high-rise building. The parameter of interest was chosen by the height of the water level and the frequency of input seismic wave in the same shape of water tank.

In this study, an approach that installs seismic isolation bearings was proposed for the seismic retrofit of the existing bridges. The method that replaces all existing bearings with seismic isolators was proposed already. However, in this study, we recommend to utilize the existing bearings for the benefit of safety and cost. According to our proposal, the seismic isolators do not support vertical loads but they just function as the period shifter and the horizontal damper. To verify this approach experimentally, the real scale bearings and isolators for the real highway bridges were designed and fabricated. And the responses of this isolated bridges to the assumed earthquakes were determined by the pseudo dynamic test scheme. The test results were also compared to the responses computed by the well known structural analysis software to check the reliability of the test. From the test results, we found that the retrofitted bridges using the proposed method showed stable performances under earthquakes.

This paper presents an analytical study aimed at evaluating the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) retrofitted with different approaches. For this, 3, 6 and 12 storey MRFs having four equal bays of 5 m were selected as the case study models. The models were designed with lateral stiffness insufficient to satisfy code drift and hinge limitations in zones with high seismic hazard. Three different retrofit strategies including traditional diagonal bracing system and energy dissipation devices such as buckling restrained braces and viscoelastic dampers were used for seismic upgrading of the existing structures. In the nonlinear time history analysis, a set of ground motions representative of the design earthquake with 10% exceedance probability in fifty years was taken into consideration. Considering the local and global deformations, the results in terms of inter-storey drift index, global damage index, plastic hinge formations, base shear demand and roof drift time history were compared. It was observed that both buckling-restrained braces and viscoelastic dampers allowed for an efficient reduction in the demands of the upgraded frames as compared to traditional braces.

Spatial structures as like dome structure have the different dynamic characteristics from general rahmen structures. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately analyze dynamic characteristics and effectively control of seismic response of spatial structure subjected to multi-supported excitation. In this study, star dome structure that is subjected to multi-supported excitation was used as an example spatial structure. The response of the star dome structure under multiple support excitation are analyzed by means of the pseudo excitation method. Pseudo excitation method shows that the structural response is divided into two parts, ground displacement and structural dynamic response due to ground motion excitation. And the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of star dome structures has been investigated. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that the seismic response of spatial structure under multiple support seismic excitation are different from those of spatial structure under unique excitation. And it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure subjected to multi-supported excitation.

본 연구에서는 에너지 소산형 감쇠기가 설치된 철근콘크리트 구조물의 지진응답 저감효과를 확률적으로 평가하기 위하여 지진취약도 함수를 도출하였다. 가속도민감 영역과 속도민감 영역에 속하는 대표 고유주기를 갖는 비선형 단자유도 시스템으로 모델링된 철근콘크리트 구조물을 대상으로 강도와 강성의 불확실성을 고려하였다. 원구조물에 다양한 강성과 감쇠를 갖는 변위의존형 감쇠기를 부가하여 비선형시간이력해석을 수행하였으며, 해석결과의 통계를 바탕으로 로그정규분포 형태의 지진취약도 함수를 도출하였다. 원구조물의 종류별로 감쇠기의 설계변수에 따른 지진취약도 함수의 변화를 검토하고 이를 통해 손상확률의 저감효과를 분석하였다.

이 논문에서는 구조물의 내진성능 향상을 위한 방법으로서 구조부재 및 수동형 감쇠기의 통합최적설계기법을 제시한다. 이는 구조부재 및 감쇠기의 최적배치를 다루는 최적화기법이다. 통합시스템의 최적설계를 위하여 다목적최적화기법을 도입하고, 이를 보다 효율적으로 다루기 위하여 목표신뢰성 제한조건을 갖는 다목적최적화문제로 재구성하였다. 수치해석 예제를 통하여 다양한Pareto 최적해를 제시하였으며, 이들이 기존 설계방법에 상응하는 순차적 설계방법 및 가중합방법에 따른 단일목적함수 최적화방법을 포괄함을 검증하였다. 여러 Pareto 최적해로부터 강성 및 감쇠장치의 사용량을 달리하는 3가지 대표설계안을 선택하고 이들의 내진성능을 다양한 지진하중에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 이로부터 제시하는 방법이 구조물의 내진성능 향상을 위한 설계방법으로서 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
