In the nonlinear dynamic structural analysis the given ground excitation as an input should be well defined. Because of the lack of recorded accelerograms in Korea it is required to generate an artificial earthquake by a stochastic model of ground excitation with various dynamic properties rather than recorded accelerograms. It is well known that earthquake motions are generally non-stationary with time-varying intensity and frequency content. Many researchers have proposed non-stationary random process models. Yeh and Wen (1990) proposed a non-stationary modulation function and a power spectral density function to describe such non-stationary characteristics. Satio and Wen(1994) proposed a non-stationary stochastic process model to generate earthquake ground motions which are compatible with design reponse spectrum at sites in Japan. this paper shows the process to modify power spectrum compatible with target design response spectrum for generating of nonstationary artificial earthquake ground motions. Target reponse spectrum is chosen by ATC14 to calibrate the response spectrum according to a give recurrence period.

The design response spectrum presented in the seismic design standard reflects the characteristics of the tectonic environment at a site. However, since the design response spectrum does not represent the ground motion with a specific earthquake magnitude or distance, input ground motions for response history analysis need to be selected reasonably. It is appropriate to use observed ground motions recorded in Korea for the seismic design. However, recently recorded ground motions in the Gyeongju (2016) or Pohang (2017) earthquakes are not compatible with the design response spectrum. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the recorded ground motion in Korea to a model similar to the design response spectrum. In this study, several approaches to adjust the spectral acceleration level at each period range were tested. These are the intrinsic and scattering attenuation considering the earthquake environment, magnitude, distance change by the green function method, and a rupture propagation direction's directivity effect. Using these variables, the amplification ratio for the representative natural period was regressed. Finally, the optimum condition compatible with the design response spectrum was suggested, and the validation was performed by converting the recorded ground motion.

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.

High-tech facilities engaged in the production of semiconductors and optical microscopes are extremely expensive, which may require time-domain analysis for seismic resistant design in consideration of the most critical directions of seismic ground motions. This paper presents a framework for generating three-dimensional critical seismic ground acceleration time histories compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes. The most critical directions of seismic ground motions associated with the maximum response of a high-tech facility are first identified. A new numerical method is then proposed to derive the power spectrum density functions of ground accelerations which are compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes in critical directions. The ground acceleration time histories for the high-tech facility along the structural axes are generated by applying the spectral representation method to the power spectrum density function matrix and then multiplied by envelope functions to consider nonstationarity of ground motions. The proposed framework is finally applied to a typical three-story high-tech facility, and the numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

This study describes a generation of artificial earthquake wane compatible with seismic design spectrum. In seismic response analysis of building structures, the input ground accelerations have considerable effect on dynamic characteristics of structures. Therefore, it is important to properly select input ground motions for seismic response analysis. In this paper, the artificial earthquake wave are generated according to previously recorded earthquake waves in past earthquake events. The artificial wave have identical phase angles to the recorded earthquake wane, and their overall response spectra are compatible with seismic design spectrum with 5% of critical viscous damping. Each simulated earthquake wave has a identical phase angles to the original recorded ground acceleration, and match to design response spectra in the range of period from 0.02 to 10.0 seconds. It is concluded that the artificial earthquake waves simulated in this paper ate applicable as input ground motions for a seismic response analysis of building structures.

국내에서 내진설계의 중요성이 점차적으로 부각되고 있으며 이에 따라 설계 시 동적 지진해석의 수행빈도가 높아지고 있다. 동적 지진해석을 수행하기 위한 가장 중요한 입력변수 중 한가지는 입력지진파이다. 그러나 현재 국내에서는 지진학적 검토 없이 미국, 일본 등에서 계측된 강진 기록을 입력지진파로 사용하거나 주파수영역에서 생성된 인공지진파를 사용하고 있다. 국외 계측 지진기록은 지진 규모에 따라 변화하는 지속시간과 에너지를 고려할 수 없어서 국내 지진환경에는 적합하지 않으며, 주파수 영역에서 생성되는 설계응답스펙트럼에 맞춤형 인공지진파는 실제 지진기록과 주파수 특성이 상이한 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 입력지진파의 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 시간영역에서 수행되는 응답스펙트럼 맞춤형 인공지진파 알고리즘을 적용하여 입력 지진파를 생성하였다. 생성된 지진파는 계측 지진기록의 고유한 성질인 Non-stationary 특성을 보존하며 동시에 설계 응답스펙트럼과 거의 완벽한 일치성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper a simple approach is presented for spectral matching of ground motions utilizing the wavelet transform and a recently developed metaheuristic optimization technique. For this purpose, wavelet transform is used to decompose the original ground motions to several levels, where each level covers a special range of frequency, and then each level is multiplied by a variable. Subsequently, the vibrating particles system (VPS) algorithm is employed to calculate the variables such that the error between the response and target spectra is minimized. The application of the proposed method is illustrated through modifying 12 sets of ground motions. The results achieved by this method demonstrate its capability in solving the problem. The outcomes of the VPS algorithm are compared to those of the standard colliding bodies optimization (CBO) to illustrate the importance of the enhancement of the algorithm.

건축물의 지진응답해석에서 입력지진동은 구조물의 비선형 응답에 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 지진동의 특성은 표층지반의 성질과 국부적인 지반 조건에 따른 여러 가지 인자에 의해 그 특성이 결정되기 때문에 구조물의 지진응답해석에서 일반성을 갖는 입력지진동을 선정하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문은 내진설계용 스펙트럼에 적합한 인공지진동파형을 작성한 후, 작성된 인공지진동에 의한 철근콘크리트 다층 골조구조물의 탄소성 응답특성을 분석한 것이다. 여기서 작성된 인공지진동파형은 과거 비교적 큰 규모의 지진에서 얻어진 기록지진동과 동일한 위상각을 가지며, 감쇠정수 h=5%일 때의 내진설계용 스펙트럼과 거의 일치하도록 작성하였다. 입력지진동의 탄성 가속도 응답스펙트럼이 동일한반면, 각 입력지진동띄 위상특성이 다른 인공지진동을 입력하여 다자유도 골조 구조물의 지진응답을 분석하여 건축물의 내진설계용 지진동으로서 타당성을 확인하는 것이 목적이다. 본 논문에서 작성된 인공지진동은 기록지진동에 비해 지진응답치가 안정된 값을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 다층 골조구조물의 비선형 지진응답해석용 입력지진동으로 타당성이 높다고 사료되며, 비선형 지진응답해석용 입력지진동의 강도를 탄성 가속도 응답스펙트럼으로 규준화 하는 것이 합리적이라고 사료된다.

Ground motion scaling techniques are actively debated in the earthquake engineering community. Considerations such as what amplitude, over what period range and to what target spectrum are amongst the questions of practical importance. In this paper, the effect of various ground motion scaling approaches are explored using three reinforced concrete prototypical building models of 8, 12 and 20 stories designed to respond nonlinearly under a design level earthquake event in the seismically active Southern California region. Twenty-one recorded earthquake motions are selected using a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and subsequently scaled using four different strategies. These motions are subsequently compared to spectrally compatible motions. The nonlinear response of a planar frameidealized building is evaluated in terms of plasticity distribution, floor level acceleration and uncorrelated acceleration amplification ratio distributions; and interstory drift distributions. The most pronounced response variability observed in association with the scaling method is the extent of higher mode participation in the nonlinear demands.

실제 관측된 강지진동을 이용하여 증폭요소 스펙트럼을 구하였으며 그 결과를 미국에서 개발된 표준응답 스펙트럼과 비교 및 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 국내의 지진지체구조특성을 충분히 대표 가능한 지진을 선택하였으며 구체적으로 Miramichi, Nahanni, Saguenay 및 New Madrid Earthquake (19 수직성분, 36 수평성분)으로부터 관측된 강지진동을 증폭요소 스펙트럼 분석에 이용하였다. 국내의 지진지체구조특성을 충분히 대표 가능한 지진으로부터 강지진동을 처리하여 수평 및 수직성분에 대한 응답을 계산하고 응답결과를 각각의 성분에 대하여 실제 관측된 강지진동값과 비교를 통하여 증폭요소 스펙트럼을 구하였다. 구하여진 증폭요소 스펙트럼을 미국에서 개발된 표준응답 스펙트럼과 비교 분석한 결과 수평 및 수직성분 공통적으로 약 10Hz 이상의 대역에서 본 연구로부터 구하여진 증폭요소 스펙트럼이 표준응답 스펙트럼에서 제시된 값보다 더 초과하고 있음을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 국내의 지진지체구조를 대표하는 지진이 향후 발생하여 이 지진으로부터 관측가능한 강지진동을 이용하여 응답스펙트럼을 분석할 경우 특히 약 10Hz 이상의 대역에서 구하여진 증폭요소 스펙트럼이 표준응답 스펙트럼이 제시한 값보다 초과할 가능성이 있음을 의미한다.
