최근 들어 시설물별 내진설계기준이 성능기반 내진설계로 전환됨에 따라, 신뢰성있는 비선형 응답이력해석(Response-history analysis, RHA)에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 그러나, 부지응답해석 분야에 있어서는 1970년대 이후 등가선형 해석이 표준절차로 자리잡고 있음에 따라, 이를 대체하기 위해서는 비선형 응답이력해석의 신뢰성이 확보되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 1989년 미국 Loma Prieta 지진기록을 바탕으로 다층지반에 대해서 비선형 RHA를 이용한 부지응답해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 이를 위하여, 비선형 RHA를 위한 비선형 지반모델의 선정방법과 3차원 해석시 요구되는 기반암 경계조건의 영향을 평가 하였다. 평가 결과, 제한된 조건하에서 가장 정확한 비선형 지반모델과 경계조건을 적용 시 비선형 RHA의 결과는 등가선형 해석결과와 유의미한 차이는 발생하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 3차원 해석을 시행하는 경우, 전체 모델의 회전운동을 제어하기 위하여 최 하단부 흡수 경계조건을 적용해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic (CPV) is a promising alternative to conventional solar structures. These solar tracking structures need to be optimized to be competitive against other types of energy production. In particular, the selection of the structural parameters needs to be optimized with regards to the dynamic wind response. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the main structural parameters, as selected in the preliminary design phase, on the wind response and then on the weight of the steel support structure. A parametric study has been performed where parameters influencing dynamic wind response are varied. The study is performed using a semi-deterministic time-domain wind analysis method. Unsteady aerodynamic model is applied for the shape of the CPV structure collector at different configurations in conjunction with a consistent mass-spring-damper model with the corresponding degrees of freedom to describe the dynamic response of the system. It is shown that, unlike the static response analysis, the variation of the peak wind response with many structural parameters is highly nonlinear because of the dynamic wind action. A steel structural optimization process reveals that close attention to structural and site wind parameters could lead to optimal design of CPV steel support structure.

지진지반운동 증폭을 야기하는 부지효과는 지하 토사 조건과 구조뿐만 아니라 지표 지형에 의해 지대한 영향을 받는다. 그럼에도 불구하고 국내에서는 최근 수십 년에 걸쳐 주로 지질 및 토사 조건과 관련된 부지고유 지진응답 연구들이 대부분을 차지해 왔으며, 이러한 국부 지질 효과는 잘 정립되어 현행 국내 내진설계기준들에 반영되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 현행 국내 내진설계기준에서는 고려되고 있지 않은 지표 지형효과 평가의 일환으로, 세 가지 다른 경사각 조건의 유한요소 지반 모델링을 통한 이차원 지진 부지응답 해석을 수행하였다. 이차원 유한요소 해석 결과인 최대 지반가속도와 가속도 응답스펙트럼을 추가적으로 수행한 일차원 유한요소 해석 결과와 비교하였다. 최대 지반가속도와 스펙트럴가속도는 대부분의 사면상부 영역에서 지형효과로 인해 이차원이 일차원 해석에 비해 크게 나타났다.

IBC와KBC 기준의 지반계수는 지반증폭 만이 고려되고 구조물-지반 상호작용 영향이 고려되지 않은 지반계수로 합리적인 구조물의 지진거동을 예측하는데 어떤 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서는 선형과 비선형 지반 위에 세워진 구조물의 탄성지진응답해석을 의사 3-D 해석으로 수행하여 구조물-지반 상호작용 영향이 고려된 지반계수의 상 하 한계값을 평가하였다. 지반의 특성은 지반 A, B, C의 경우에는 선형으로 가정하였고, 지반 D와 E의 경우에는 비선형으로 가정하여 Ramberg-Osgood 모델을 사용하여 전단파속도를 기준으로 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비 계산식을 규정하였다. 지진해석은 중 약진 지진기록 12개를 선정하여 최대 지진가속도를 0.1g와 0.2g로 조정하고, 구조물-지반 체계에 대한 의사 3-D 해석 시에는 30m 지반 하부 암반에서의 지진기록으로 변환하여 사용하였다. 구조물의 탄성 지진응답해석을 통해서 얻은 결과로부터 구조물-지반 상호작용 영향을 고려한 새로운 표준응답스펙트럼과 단주기 영역 및 주기 1초에서의 지반계수 $F_{a}$와 $F_{v}$의 상 하 한계값을 제시하였으며, KBC 기준을 위한 새로운 지반계수도 제안하였다.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of transient stochastic analysis on nonlinear response of earth and rock-fill dams to spatially varying ground motion. The dam models are analyzed by a stochastic finite element method based on the equivalent linear method which considers the nonlinear variation of soil shear moduli and damping ratio as a function of shear strain. The spatial variability of ground motion is taken into account with the incoherence, wave-passage and site response effects. Stationary as well as transient stochastic response analyses are performed for the considered dam types. A time dependent frequency response function is used throughout the study for transient stochastic responses. It is observed that stationarity is a reasonable assumption for earth and rock-fill dams to typical durations of strong shaking.

A one-step, two-site enzyme immunoassay was developed for measuring human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in serum and amniotic fluid using monoclonal antibodies (McAb) by eliminating the high-dose hook effect. Three McAbs that recognize different epitopes were selected among 16 different clones on the basis of epitope mapping, two for immobilization and one for horseradish peroxidase conjugation. This one-step immunoassay system is more convenient and rapid compared to a conventional two-step sandwich immunoassay system. It did not exhibit the hook effect to around 2.7 mg/ml of AFP, which is probably one of the highest concentrations of AFP in the serum. The dose-response curve of the system was linear to 500 mg/ml of AFP and the system could differentiate as low as 1 mg/ml of AFP The intra- and inter-assay variations were in an acceptable range; 95~104% and 97~105% respectively Its correlation with other commercial systems was around 95%.

The local topography has a significant effect on the characteristics of seismic ground motion. This paper investigates the influence of topographic effects on the seismic response of a train-bridge system. A 3-D finite element model with local absorbing boundary conditions is established for the local site. The time histories of seismic ground motion are converted into equivalent loads on the artificial boundary, to obtain the seismic input at the bridge supports. The analysis of the train-bridge system subjected to multi-support seismic excitations is performed, by applying the displacement time histories of the seismic ground motion to the bridge supports. In a case study considering a bridge with a span of 466 m crossing a valley, the seismic response of the train-bridge system is analyzed. The results show that the local topography and the incident angle of seismic waves have a significant effect on the seismic response of the train-bridge system. Leaving these effects out of consideration may lead to unsafe analysis results.

The October 23 2011 Van Earthquake is studied from an earthquake engineering point of view. Strong ground motion processing was performed to investigate features of the earthquake source, forward directivity effects during the rupture process as well as local site effects. Strong motion characteristics were investigated in terms of peak ground motion and spectral acceleration values. Directiviy effects were discussed in detail via elastic response spectra and wide band spectograms to see the high frequency energy distributions. Source parameters and slip distribution results of the earthquake which had been proposed by different researchers were summarized. Influence of the source parameters on structural response were shown by comparing elastic response spectra of Muradiye synthetic records which were performed by broadband strong motion simulations of the earthquake. It has been emphasized that characteristics of the earthquake rupture dynamics and their effects on structural design might be investigated from a multidisciplinary point of view. Seismotectonic calculations (e.g., slip pattern, rupture velocity) may be extended relating different engineering parameters (e.g., interstorey drifts, spectral accelerations) across different disciplines while using code based seismic design approaches. Current state of the art building codes still far from fully reflecting earthquake source related parameters into design rules. Some of those deficiencies and recent efforts to overcome these problems were also mentioned. Next generation ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) may be incorporated with certain site categories for site effects. Likewise in the 2011 Van Earthquake, Reverse/Oblique earthquakes indicate that GMPEs need to be feasible to a wider range of magnitudes and distances in engineering practice. Due to the reverse faulting with large slip and dip angles, vertical displacements along with directivity and fault normal effects might significantly affect the engineering structures. Main reason of excessive damage in the town of Erciş can be attributed to these factors. Such effects should be considered in advance through the establishment of vertical design spectra and effects might be incorporated in the available GMPEs.

The soil-structure relative stiffness is a key factor affecting the seismic response of underground structures. It is of great significance to study the soil-structure relative stiffness for the soil-structure interaction and the seismic disaster reduction of subway stations. In this paper, the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of an inhomogeneous soft soil site under different buried depths which were obtained by a one-dimensional equivalent linearization site response analysis were used as the input parameters in a 2D finite element model. A visco-elasto-plastic constitutive model based on the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion combined with stiffness degradation was used to describe the plastic behavior of soil. The damage plasticity model was used to simulate the plastic behavior of concrete. The horizontal and vertical relative stiffness ratios of soil and structure were defined to study the influence of relative stiffness on the seismic response of subway stations in inhomogeneous soft soil. It is found that the compression damage to the middle columns of a subway station with a higher relative stiffness ratio is more serious while the tensile damage is slighter under the same earthquake motion. The relative stiffness has a significant influence on ground surface deformation, ground acceleration, and station structure deformation. However, the effect of the relative stiffness on the deformation of the bottom slab of the subway station is small. The research results can provide a reference for seismic fortification of subway stations in the soft soil area.

전단파괴 이전 지반의 동적비선형거동특성은 일반적으로 함수형 피팅모델과 Masing 법칙을 이용하여 수치해석프로그램에 사용된다. 그러나 대부분의 함수형 피팅모델은 특정 전단변형률 영역에서 실험결과 대비 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비의 오차를 유발하는 것이 일반적인 현상이다. 이러한 오차의 원인은 현재 피팅모델로 표현하기 어려운 지반재료의 고유 특성에 기인할 수 있다. 지금까지 상기 문제를 해결하기 위하여 몇몇 피팅모델이 제안되었으나, 오차의 영향이 지진 시 부지응답해석에 미치는 영향은 아직까지 구체적으로 검토된 바는 없다. 본 논문에서는 상기 영향 검토를 응답이력해석을 통하여 실시하였다. 세 개의 서로 다른 함수형 피팅모델을 이용하여 부지응답해석을 시행하였으며, 그 결과는 동적원심모형시험 결과의 원형 계측치를 기준으로 검증을 실시하였다. 실험과 해석 간의 오차는 입력지진 크기가 증가함에 따라 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 저-중간 강도의 입력지진 범위에서 함수형 피팅모델에 따른 해석의 정확도 차이는 실용적인 측면에 있어서 큰 차이가 나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.
