In Korea, the seismic design of non-structural elements was interested by Earthquake of the 2016 Gyeong-ju and 2017 Po-hang. Among the non-structural elements, the ceiling system with steel panel used in Po-hang station showed failure examples of non-seismic design ceiling. In this study, the seismic performance of suspended ceiling with steel-panel, such as those used in Po-hang Station, was evaluated by shaking table tests. The shaking table tests were performed in accordance with the ICC-ES AC156 standard with floor acceleration being applied horizontally in one direction using a $3.3{\times}3.3m^2$ frame. The ceiling system consists of steel-panels, carrying channels, main and cross T-bars, and anti-falling clips. The anti-falling clip prevents the steel panel falling completely. The shaking table test confirmed that the damage at the previous stage had a direct impact on the damage state at the next stage. Through the shaking table test, the damage state of the T-bar type steel-panel suspended ceiling system was defined.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines in nuclear power plants (NPPs) have to meet high requirements for seismic performance. HDPE pipes have been proved to have good seismic performance, but joints are the weak links in the pipelines, and pipeline failures usually initiate from the defects inside the joints. Limited data are available on the seismic performance of butt-fusion joints of HDPE pipelines in NPPs, especially in terms of defects changes inside the joints after earthquakes. In this paper, full-scale shaking table tests were performed on a test section of suspended HDPE pipelines in an NPP, which included straight pipes, elbows, and 10 butt-fusion joints. During the tests, the seismic load-induced strain of the joints was analyzed by strain gauges, and it was much smaller than the internal pressure and self-weight-induced strain. Before and after the shaking table tests, phased array ultrasonic testing (PA-UT) was conducted to detect defects inside the joints. The locations, numbers, and dimensions of the defects were analyzed. It was found that defects were more likely to occur in elbows joints. No new defect was observed after the shaking table tests, and the defects showed no significant growth, indicating the satisfactory seismic performance of the butt-fusion joints.

In the current research, a seismic ceiling system as one of non-structural elements in buildings has been developed by applying newly designed vertical hanger clips combined with M-bar channel clips. In order to evaluate the seismic performance of the developed system, full-scale shaking table tests of one story frame structure with the conventional ceiling system or the developed seismic ceiling system were performed with time-history responses under earthquake loads. The developed system was also evaluated by the time-history dynamic analysis. From seismic test and analysis, it was shown that the developed seismic ceiling system could give improved seismic performances to minimize displacements and damages of ceiling systems as well as enhance seismic safety of the ceiling system.

In order to investigate the seismic behavior and seismic design methods in the transverse direction of a shield tunnel, a series of model shaking table tests and a two-dimensional finite element dynamic analysis on the tests are carried out. Two kinds of static analytical methods based on ground-tunnel composite finite element model and beam-spring element model are proposed, and the validity of the static analyses is verified by model shaking table tests. The investigation concerns the dynamic response behavior of a tunnel and the ground, the interaction between the tunnel and ground, and an evaluation of different seismic design methods. Results of the investigation indicate that the shield tunnel follows the surrounding ground in displacement and dynamic characteristics in the transverse direction; also, the static analytical methods proposed by the authors can be used directly as the seismic design methods in the transverse direction of a shield tunnel.

지진은 구조물에 막대한 피해를 발생시키는 것으로 보고되고 있으나, 우리나라에 내진설계규정이 도입되기 전인 1988년 이전에 설계된 건물은 이에 대한 대책이 없다. 특히 공동주택의 경우 지진저항요소가 없는 구조물이 다수 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 구조물에 대하여 내진성능의 정도를 파악하고, 성능지수가 부족한 구조물에 대해서는 적절한 보강이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이전의 연구에서 범용 구조해석 프로그램인 MIDAS를 이용하여 모델 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하여 얻어진 내진성능의 부족함을 기초로 5층 규모의 철근콘크리트 벽식 구조물에 상사법칙을 적용하고, 진동대 실험을 수행하여 국내외 규준에 의한 모델 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 진동대 실험의 경우 실험의 공간적 제약으로 인하여 원형 구조물에 대한 실험을 할 수 없어, 구조물의 원형크기를 상사법칙에 의하여 필요한 규모로 축소하여 제작하였다. 성능수준을 평가해 본 결과 내진설계가 수행되지 않은 구조물은 PGA 등급 0.2g의 지진에 대하여 사용한계수준의 내진성능을 나타내었으며 허용층간변위를 평가해 본 결과 0.2g의 지진등급까지만 허용한계수준의 층간변위를 나타내어 내진성능에 대한 보강이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate seismic performances of a modular house system developed by a simple 4-clip fastening method and double metal assembly made of lightweight metals. In order to evaluate structural and non-structural seismic performances of the system. Shaking table test was carried out with full-scale modular units, and a nonlinear pushover analysis was performed to obtain suitable seismic responses for story drifts, displacements, force resistances and dynamic properties of the system. Through 3D analysis and shaking table test, the current method of lightweight modular metal unit assembly and systems with seismic performance of a 4-clip fastening type modular house were demonstrated safe and effective to seismic design.

강릉지역은 유기질토가 생성되기 적합한 환경을 지닌 지역으로 유기질토 상부와 하부에 퇴적 모래층이 분포되어 있는 충적층 지반이 존재한다. 본 연구는 모래층 사이에 유기질토 및 점토가 협재된 지반 상부에 조성된 강릉지역을 통과하는 철도노반의 내진 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 상사율을 고려한 철도노반 및 지반 모형을 제작하여 진동대 시험을 실시하고 유효응력 해석 결과값을 비교하여 내진 안정성을 평가하였다. 적용된 지진파는 인공지진파, 경주지진파, Borah 지진파, Nahanni 지진파, Tabas 지진파를 적용하였으며 상부 모래층의 최대 응답가속도는 0.239g(인공지진파), 과잉간극수압비는 0.509(Borah파)가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 신설노반의 하부지반에 적용된 jet grouting에 의한 지반보강 효과로 인해 신설 노반의 발생변위는 기존노반에 비해 최소 33.7%에서 최대 56.7% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 진동대 시험결과는 Flac 프로그램의 Finn 모델을 적용한 유효응력해석으로 검증하였으며, 진동대 시험값과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

Shanghai Tower is a super high-rise building of 632 m height with 'mega frame-core- outrigger truss' structure system. Due to the complexity and irregularity of structure, shaking table test was carried out to investigate its seismic performance. A 1/40 scaled test model was designed, built and tested on shaking table under earthquake of small, moderate and large levels. The experimental results showed that the structure can meet the requirements of Chinese codes and reach scheduled performance objectives. Elastic and plastic time-history analysis on the structure were carried out and the results were compared to experimental results. Based on the research results some suggestions were proposed to contribute favorable effect on the seismic capacity of the structure.

Earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater occur in Korea about 10 times on average yearly, and the number of earthquakes occurring in Korea is increasing. As many earthquakes have recently occurred, interest in the safety of nuclear power plants has increased. Nuclear power plants are equipped with many cabinet-type control facilities to regulate safety facilities, and function maintenance is required during an earthquake. The seismic performance of the cabinet is divided into structural and functional performances. Structural performance can be secured during the design procedure. Functional performance depends on the vibration performance of the component. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the seismic performance of the components. Generally, seismic performance is confirmed through seismic simulation tests. When checking seismic performance through seismic simulation tests, it is difficult to determine the effect of frequency and maximum acceleration on an element. In this paper, shaking table tests were performed using various frequencies and various maximum accelerations. The seismic performance characteristics of the functions of electrical equipment components were confirmed through tests.

Earthquakes of 5.8 and 5.4 Richter scale recently occurred one after another in Korea, changing the Korean peninsula from an earthquake safe zone but 'earthquake danger zone'. Therefore, seismic reinforcements must expand to include structures with low seismic resistance in order to prepare for earthquakes on a larger scale in the future. This study investigated the performances of various seismic reinforcement systems such as X-braced steel rod reinforcement, steel shear wall with circular opening reinforcement, and slit damper reinforcement using shaking table test and computational analyses of seismic data in order to establish a proper seismic reinforcement plan. These three seismic reinforcement systems could increase the stiffness and strength of existing structures and reduce maximum drift ratio in the event of an earthquake.
