Structures designed for wind have an opposite design approach to those designed for earthquakes. These structures are usually reliable if they are constructed in an area where there is almost no or less severe earthquake. However, as seismic activity is unpredictable and it can occur anytime and anywhere, the seismic safety of structures designed for wind must be assessed. Moreover, the design approaches of wind and earthquake systems are opposite where wind design considers higher stiffness but earthquake designs demand a more flexible structure. For this reason, a novel Machine learning framework is proposed that is used to assess and classify the seismic safety of the structures designed for wind load. Moreover, suitable criteria is defined for the design of wind resistance structures considering seismic behavior. Furthermore, the structural behavior as a result of dynamic interaction between superstructure and substructure during seismic events is also studied. The proposed framework achieved an accuracy of more than 90% for classification and prediction as well, when applied to new structures and unknown ground motions.

A methodology to evaluate the seismic performance of interface piping systems that cross the isolation interface in the seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) was developed. The developed methodology was applied to the safety-related interface piping system to demonstrate the seismic performance of the target piping system. Not only the seismic performance for the design level earthquakes but also the performance for the beyond design level earthquakes were evaluated. Two artificial seismic ground input motions which were matched to the design response spectra and two historical earthquake ground motions were used for the seismic analysis of piping system. The preliminary performance evaluation results show that the excessive relative displacements can occur in the seismically isolated piping system. If the input ground motion contained relatively high energy in the low frequency region, we could find that the stress response of the piping system exceed the allowable stress level even though the intensity of the input ground motion is equal to the design level earthquake. The structural responses and seismic performances of piping system were varied sensitively with respect to the intensities and frequency contents of input ground motions. Therefore, for the application of isolation system to NPPs and the verification of the safety of piping system, the seismic performance of the piping system subjected to the earthquake at the target NPP site should be evaluated firstly.

While there exists a relatively large body of technical information for the engineered design of wood-frame buildings to resist seismic ground motions, the quantitative assessment of seismic resistance of conventional houses built by prescriptive requirements is less well understood. Forintek Canada Corp., in collaboration with other research and industry partners, has embarked on a research project to address this topic. This paper will report on the seismic shake table tests of a full-scale wood-frame building. The two-story specimen, $6m{\times}6m$ in plan, was built on the seismic shake table at Tongji University in Shanghai, China, according to Part 9 of the 1995 National Building Code of Canada and shaken uni-directionally in each of the two principal directions. Three different seismic table motions were applied at increasing peak ground motion amplitudes up to 0.40 and 0.50 g. The specimen was repaired after the above sets of seismic table motions, and successive runs were conducted for increased door openings. Measurements included specimen accelerations, displacements and anchorage forces. Static stiffness of the specimen was measured at low force levels, and natural frequencies were measured after each seismic loading stage by applying low-level random excitation. The results presented consist of the capacity spectra of the shake table tests, changes in specimen stiffness and natural frequencies with increasing seismic loading. These results and those from other recent shake table tests elsewhere will be compared with simplified engineering calculations based on codified values of strength, and on that basis preliminary conclusions will be drawn on the adequacy of the current code provisions and design guides in Canada and the USA for conventional wood-frame construction.

본 연구에서 피뢰기의 지진취약도 해석은 역량스펙트럼 방법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 많은 구조부재를 가진 구조물의 지진취약도 해석은 수십 혹은 수백 개의 지진하중에 대한 비탄성 지진응답을 계산하는 것이 요구되기 때문에 역량스펙트럼 방법과 같은 간단한 방법이 응답이력해석 보다 적합하다. 일반적으로 역량스펙트럼 방법에 의해 평가된 지진응답의 정확성은 응답이력해석에 의한 결과의 정확성 보다 떨어진다. 역량스펙트럼 방법의 정확성을 향상시키기 위하여 등가단자유도 방법과 성능점 계산기법이 적용되었다. 지진취약도에 대한 지진에 대한 지반효과를 평가하기 위하여 60개의 다른 지반종류의 지반운동을 입력지진으로 선정하여 사용하였다. 역량스펙트럼 방법과 응답이력해석에 의한 지진취약도 곡선의 비교로부터 역량스펙트럼 방법에 의한 지진취약도 곡선이 응답이력해석에 의한 지진취약도 곡선과 상당히 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 피뢰기의 주된 지진에 의한 파괴모드는 부싱의 파손임을 알 수 있었다.

Amplication factor spectrum has been obtained and compared with standard Response Spectrum using the observed strong ground motions database. The observed ground motions from the Miramichi, Nahanni, Saguenay and New Madrid Earthquake (vertical component 19. horizontal component 36). which are estimated to represent domestic seismotectonic characteristics such as seismic source, attenuation, and site effect, are used for the analysis of amplication factor spectrum. Amplication factor has been calculated using both observed peak values and results from responses to the observed horizontal and vertical ground motions. The comparison shows that the amplication factors resultant from this study exceeds those of Standard Response Spectrum at relatively higher frequencies. The results implie that the characteristics of the seismic strong ground motion which may represent the domestic seismotectonic characteristics differs from those of Standard Response Spectrum, which are resultant from the strong ground motions observed mainly at the westem United States.

Amplification factor spectrum, using the observed strong ground motions database, has been obtained and compared with Standard Response Spectrum, which were suggested by US NRC. The observed ground motions from the Yongwol and the Kyoungju Earthquake, respectively, which are suppose to represent domestic seismotectonic characteristics such as seismic source, attenuation, and site effect, are used for the analysis of amplification factor spectrum. Amplification factors have been calculated by comparing the observed peak ground motions with results from responses to the observed horizontal and vertical ground motions. The comparison shows that the amplification factors resultant from this study exceeds those of Standard Response Spectum at relatively higher frequencies. The results suggest that the characteristics of the seismic strong ground motion, which are supposed to represent the domestic seismotectonic characteristics, differs from those of Standard Response Spectrum, especially at hither frequencies

Based on the reconnaissance of buildings in Dujiangyan City during 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, China, structural damage characteristics and the spatial distribution of structural damage are investigated, and the possible reasons for the extraordinary features are discussed with consideration of the influence of urban historical evolution and spatial variation of earthquake motions. Firstly, the urban plan and typical characteristics of structural seismic damage are briefly presented and summarized. Spatial distribution of structural damage is then comparatively analyzed by classifying all surveyed buildings in accordance with different construction age, considering the influence of seismic design code on urban buildings. Finally, the influences of evolution of seismic design code, topographic condition, local site and distance from fault rupture on spatial distribution of structural damage are comprehensively discussed. It is concluded that spatial variation of earthquake motions, resulting from topography, local site effect and fault rupture, are very important factor leading to the extraordinary spatial distribution of building damage except the evolution of seismic design codes. It is necessary that the spatial distribution of earthquake motions should be considered in seismic design of structures located in complicated topography area and near active faults.

Ground motion modification is extensively used in seismic design of civil infrastructure, especially where few or no recorded ground motions representative of the design scenario are available. A site in Los Angeles, California is used as a study site and 28 ground motions consistent with the design earthquake scenario are selected. The suite of 28 ground motions is scaled and modified in the time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD) before being used as input to a bilinear SDOF system. The median structural responses to the suites of scaled, TD-modified, and FD-modified motions, along with ratios of he modified-to-scaled responses, are investigated for SDOF systems with different periods, strength ratios, and post-yield stiffness ratios. Overall, little difference (less than 20%) is observed in the peak structural accelerations, velocities, and displacements; displacement ductility; and absolute accelerations caused by the TD-modified and FD-modified motions when compared to the responses caused by the scaled motions. The energy absorbed by the system when the modified motions are used as input is more than 20% greater than when scaled motions are used as input. The observed trends in the structural response are predominantly the result of changes in the ground motion characteristics caused by modification.

일반적으로 속도 펄스를 가진 지반운동이 속도 펄스가 없는 지반운동에 비하여 구조물에 보다 큰 손상을 줄 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 지진가속도기록으로부터 속도 펄스의 유무의 판정과 이를 정량화하는 연구가 현재 많이 진행되어 오고 있다. 기존 지진기록들을 단층으로 떨어진 거리를 기준으로 원거리 지진과 근거리 지진으로 구분하였다. 또한, 근거리 지진은 속도 펄스의 유무를 정량화하여 펄스를 가진 지진과 펄스를 가지지 않은 지진으로 구분하였다. 최종적으로 각 지진그룹별로 40개의 원거리지진, 40개의 속도 펄스를 가진 근거리 지진과 40개의 속도 펄스를 가지지 않은 근거리 지진을 선정하였으며, 총 120개 지진가속도 기록을 지진취약도 평가를 위한 지진해석에 사용하였다. 세 그룹의 지진을 이용하여 납-고무받침과 탄성받침을 가진 두 종류의 예제교량에 대한 지진응답을 평가하여 확률론적 지진요구도 모델을 작성하였다. 확률론적 지진요구도 모델을 이용하여 지진취약도 해석을 수행하여 속도 펄스의 유무에 따른 지진취약도 영향을 분석하였다. 지진파의 속도 펄스 유무에 따른 지진취약도 곡선의 비교 결과로부터, 속도 펄스를 가진 지진의 지진취약도가 속도 펄스가 없는 지진의 지진취약도가 약 3배~5배 정도 정도 크게 나타난다. 이는 속도 펄스를 가진 지진의 경우가 그렇지 않은 지진의 경우에 비하여 교량의 손상 피해가 크다는 것을 의미한다.
