The use of Tuned mass dampers (TMD) has proved to be effective in reducing the effects of vibrations caused by wind loads and far-field seismic action. However, its effectiveness in controlling the dynamic response of structures under near-fault earthquakes is still under discussion. In this case, the uncertainty about the TMD performance arises from the short significant duration of near-fault ground motions. In this work, the TMD effectiveness for increasing the safety margin against collapse of structures subjected to near-fault earthquakes is investigated. In order to evaluate the TMD performance in the proposed scenario, the nonlinear dynamic response of two reinforced concrete (RC) frames was analyzed. TMDs with different mass values were added to these structures, and a set of near-fault records with frequency content close to the fundamental frequency of the structure was employed. Through a series of nonlinear dynamic analysis, the minimum amplitude of each seismic record that causes the structural collapse was found. By comparing this value, called collapse acceleration, for the case of the structures with and without TMD, the benefit produced by the addition of the control device was established.

Most spiders have four pairs of simple eyes. A few families of the spider have their developed eyes to an extent visual cues make up a significant of information to response from the external stimuli. Most spiders respond to the external stimuli around them. Specially, they are very sensitive to vibrations from the air, the ground, their webs, or even the surface of water. The present study was undertaken to examine the evolutionary development and function of eye with the observation of visual ultrastructure of Atypus coreanus Kim, 1985 using the electron microscopy. They have weak mobility, limited territory and low developed eyes. Atypus coreanus was collected from Mt. Ungil, Namyangju-gun, Kyonggi province. The fine structure of these eyes was examined by electron microscopy, and prepard by teasing method for scanning electron microscopic observation. As a result, the eyes of Atypus coreanus was composed of cornea, lens, vitreous body, retina, and rhabdome.

Pounding of adjacent structures are always a notable reason for damages after strong ground motions, but it is already unforeseen detail in newly constructed structures. Thus, several approaches have been proposed in order to prevent the pounding of structures. By using optimally tuned mass dampers, it is possible to decrease the displacement vibrations of structures. But in adjacent structures, the response of both structures must be considered in the objective function of optimization process. In this paper, two different designs of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) are investigated. The first design covers independent TMDs on both structures. In the second design, adjacent structures are coupled by a TMD on the top of the structures. Optimum TMD parameters are found by using the developed optimization methodology employing harmony search algorithm. The proposed method is presented with single degree of freedom and multiple degree of freedom structures. Results show that the coupled design is not effective on multiple degree of freedom adjacent structures. The coupled design is only effective for rigid structures with a single degree of freedom while the use of independent TMDs are effective on both rigid and flexural structures.

An important source of noise from railways is rolling noise caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel-rail contact. In the present paper, characteristics of rail vibration and radiated sound power from concrete slab tracks for domestic high speed train(KTX) is investigated by means of a numerical method. The waveguide finite element and boundary element are combined and applied for this analysis. The concrete slab track is modelled simply with a rail and rail pad regarding the concrete slab as a rigid ground. The wave types which contribute significantly to the rail vibration and radiated noise are identified in terms of the mobility and decay rates. In addition, the effect of the rail pad stiffness on the radiated power is examined for two different rail pad stiffnesses.

The actual ground vibrations due to NATM and foundation blasting at Seoul(weathered rock), Pusan(weathered rock) and Youngkwang(quartz andesite) have been measured, and the data were analyzed using reliability index($\beta$) to determinate the vibration equations and the maximum charge weight for efficient blast. These were suggested with the division of ultimate limit state($\beta$=0), serviceability limit state($\beta$=1.28) and safety state($\beta$=3), respectively. The reliability index 0 mean 50% data line obtained by the least squares best-fit line. The reliability index 1.28 and 3 represent bounds below 90% and 99.9% of the data, respectively. In this study, reliability index $\beta$=1.28 with security and economy was suggested. The maximum charge weight equations for efficient blast were obtained in W=(Vc/384.90)1.5151.D3(Seoul), W=(Vc/579.82)1.4706.D3(Pusan). W=(Vc/1654.01)1.3456.D3(Youngkwang), and the blast vibration equatiions in V=385(SD)-1.98(Seoul), V=580(SD)-2.04(Pusan), V=1654(SD)-2.23(Youngkwang), respectively. From this study, inference and analysis methods of vibration equations using reliability theory were established.

Seismic analysis of local site conditions is fundamental for a reliable site seismic hazard assessment. It plays a major role in mitigation of seismic damage potential through the prediction of surface ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Such analysis requires the determination of the transfer function, which is a simple tool for characterizing a soil profile by estimating its vibration frequencies and its amplification potential. In this study, numerical simulations are carried out and are then combined with a statistical study to allow the characterization of design sites classified by the Algerian Building Seismic Code (RPA99, ver 2003), by average transfer functions. The mean transfer functions are thereafter used to compute RPA99 average site factors. In this regard, coming up seismic fields are simulated based on Power Spectral Density Functions (PSDF) defined at the rock basement. Results are also used to compute average site factor where, actual and synthetic time histories are introduced. In absence of measurement data, it is found that the proposed approach can be used for a better soil characterization.

Isolation tables are widely used for precision equipments and their isolation performances have been usually expressed and evaluated by transsmissibility. However, transmissibility is a concept for 1-degree of freedom(DOF) system. In practice, isolation tables are supproted by more than 4 springs. Each spring is subjected to vertical and horizontal ground vibrations, and also the table has more than 1-DOF. Therefore, isolation tables should be treated as multi-input/multi-output(MIMO) system of which isolation performance is expressed by transmissibility matrix. However, the matrix is too complicated to be an index for a system. In this paper, maximum singular value of transmissibility matrx is suggested as a simple performance index of a MIMO isolation system. Physical meaning of singular value is explained using a simple a 2-DOF isolation table. Furthermore, maximum singular values of passive, 3-DOF active and 6-DOF active isolation tables are obtained through experiments, and their meaning are explained and compared with each other.

최근, 기후변화에 따른 하절기 기온 상승으로 인하여 전력사용량이 급증하고 있다. 이에 따라 발전시설이 새로 준공되고 있으며, 생산된 전기를 도심지로 송전할 초고압 송전선로 시설의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 쉴드 TBM을 이용한 기계화 터널 굴착공법은 기존의 재래식 공법에 비해 지반 침하와 지반에 전달되는 진동을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 도심지에서의 전력구터널 굴착을 위한 쉴드 TBM 공법이 증가함에도 불구하고, 전력구 쉴드 TBM 터널의 거동 분석에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 파쇄대를 포함하는 복합지반에서 파쇄대 너비, 각도에 따른 전력구 쉴드 TBM 터널의 거동 특성을 분석하고, 인터페이스 요소를 적용한 파쇄대와 연속체로 모델링한 파쇄대의 거동 특성을 비교하고자 한다. 쉴드 TBM을 이용한 터널 굴착은 3D FEM을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 파쇄대의 방향과 크기의 변화에 따라 세그먼트 라이닝에 작용되는 축력, 전단력, 휨 모멘트를 검토하고 지표면에서의 연직변위를 분석하였다. FEM 해석으로 얻어진 결과와 안정성 분석에 기초하여, 전방의 파쇄대를 예측하여 터널 구조물의 안정성을 확보할 수 있다.

본 연구는 제주도에서 각종 개발과정 중 발생되는 지반진동이 용암동굴에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하고, 용암동굴의 효율적인 관리보존 대책을 마련하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 제주도 거문오름동굴계분포지역에서 암질별 RMR과 Q-system 암반분류를 통해 지반상태를 평가하였고, 시추공 내에서 발파를 수행하여 만장굴 및 용천동굴에서 진동속도를 측정하였다. 암반분류 결과와 진동속도를 분석한 결과 암질이 좋을수록 진동의 영향이 크고, 암질이 불량할수록 진동영향이 작게 나타나는 경향을 보였으나 지반불균질성 등의 이유로 선형관계가 뚜렷하게 나타나진 않았다. 진동시험 결과를 토대로 진동속도(PPV)와 진동레벨(dB(V))의 상관관계식을 도출하였으며, 생활진동규제기준(진동레벨 주간 65 dB(V), 야간 60 dB(V))을 만족하려면 진동속도가 주간 0.371 cm/s, 야간 0.285 cm/s인 것으로 계산된다. 야간 진동기준이 더 보수적인 값이므로 허용진동기준은 0.285 cm/s 이하로 설정될 필요가 있다. 연구지역에서의 발파진동추정식 결정을 위하여 자승근 환산거리 및 삼승근 환산거리에 대해 선형 회귀분석을 수행한 결과, 결정계수(R²)가 0.76 이상으로 나타나 양호한 신뢰성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다. 도출된 발파진동추정식의 자승근 관계식을 적용하여 문화재 진동기준치인 0.2 cm/s를 만족하는 장약량을 산정하였고, 동굴에서 50 m 이격된 경우 2.88 kg, 100 m 이격된 경우 11.52 kg으로 계산되었다.
