  • Dynamic displacement of structures is an important index for in-service structural condition and behavior assessment, but accurate measurement of structural displacement for large-scale civil structures such as long-span bridges still remains as a challenging task. In this paper, a vision-based dynamic displacement measurement system with the use of digital image processing technology is developed, which is featured by its distinctive characteristics in non-contact, long-distance, and high-precision structural displacement measurement. The hardware of this system is mainly composed of a high-resolution industrial CCD (charge-coupled-device) digital camera and an extended-range zoom lens. Through continuously tracing and identifying a target on the structure, the structural displacement is derived through cross-correlation analysis between the predefined pattern and the captured digital images with the aid of a pattern matching algorithm. To validate the developed system, MTS tests of sinusoidal motions under different vibration frequencies and amplitudes and shaking table tests with different excitations (the El-Centro earthquake wave and a sinusoidal motion) are carried out. Additionally, in-situ verification experiments are performed to measure the mid-span vertical displacement of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in the operational condition and the cable-stayed Stonecutters Bridge during loading tests. The obtained results show that the developed system exhibits an excellent capability in real-time measurement of structural displacement and can serve as a good complement to the traditional sensors.

  • An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the dynamic behavior of a free-standing frame equipped with a movable base system using cast iron and mortar as the bearing materials. The preliminary friction test indicated that a graphite layer developed on the interface and exhibited stable friction behavior. The friction coefficient ranged from 0.33 to 0.36 when the applied normal compression stress ranged from 2.6 to 5.2 MPa. The effect of the variation of normal compression stress would be small. Shaking table tests on the free-standing frame showed that rock, slide, and rock-slide responses occurred. The cumulative slide distance reached 381 mm under JMA Kobe wave excitation; however, only a few cyclic slides occurred at the same locations along the moving track. Most surfaces sustained single slides. Similar results can be observed in other shaking conditions. The insufficient cyclic sliding and significant rocking resulted in a few graphite layers on the mortar surfaces. Friction coefficients were generally similar to those obtained in the preliminary friction tests; however, the values fluctuated when the rocking became significant. The collisions due to rocking caused strong horizontal acceleration responses and resulted in high friction coefficient. In addition, the strong horizontal acceleration responses caused by the collisions made the freestanding specimen unable to reduce the input horizontal acceleration notably, even when slippage occurred. Compared with the counterpart fixed-base specimen, the specimen equipped with the iron-mortar base could reduce the horizontal acceleration amplification response and the structural deformation, whereas the vertical acceleration response was doubled due to collisions from rocking.

  • Tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce dynamic responses of structures subjected to earthquake loads. A smart tuned mass damper (STMD) was proposed to increase control performance of a traditional passive TMD. A lot of research was conducted to investigate the control performance of a STMD based on analytical method. Experimental study of evaluation of control performance of a STMD was not widely conducted to date. Therefore, seismic response reduction capacity of a STMD was experimentally investigated in this study. For this purpose, a STMD was manufactured using an MR (magnetorheological) damper. A simple structure presenting dynamic characteristics of spacial roof structure was made as a test structure. A STMD was made to control vertical responses of the test structure. Two artificial ground motions and a resonance harmonic load were selected as experimental seismic excitations. Shaking table test was conducted to evaluate control performance of a STMD. Control algorithms are one of main factors affect control performance of a STMD. In this study, a groundhook algorithm that is a traditional semi-active control algorithm was selected. And fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was used to control a STMD. The FLC was optimized by multi-objective genetic algorithm. The experimental results presented that the TMD can effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures subjected to various excitations. It was also experimentally shown that the STMD can more effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures conpared to the passive TMD.

  • Seismic isolation and vibration control techniques have been developed and put into practical use by challenging researchers and engineers worldwide since the latter half of the 20th century, and after more than 40 years, they are now used in thousands of buildings, private residences, highways in many seismic areas in the world. Seismic isolation and vibration control structures can keep the structures undamaged even in a major earthquake and realize continuous occupancy. This performance has come to be recognized not only by engineers but also by ordinary people, becoming indispensable for the formation of a resilient society. However, the dynamic characteristics of seismically isolated bearings, the key elements, are highly dependent on the size effect and rate-of-loading, especially under extreme loading conditions. Therefore, confirming the actual properties and performance of these bearings with full-scale specimens under prescribed dynamic loading protocols is essential. The number of testing facilities with such capacity is still limited and even though the existing labs in the US, China, Taiwan, Italy, etc. are conducting these tests, their dynamic loading test setups are subjected to friction generated by the large vertical loads and inertial force of the heavy table which affect the accuracy of measured forces. To solve this problem, the authors have proposed a direct reaction force measuring system that can eliminate the effects of friction and inertia forces, and a seismic isolation testing facility with the proposed system (E-isolation) will be completed on March 2023 in Japan. This test facility is designed to conduct not only dynamic loading tests of seismic isolation bearings and dampers but also to perform hybrid simulations of seismically isolated structures. In this paper, design details and the realization of this system into an actual dynamic testing facility are presented and the outcomes are discussed.

  • 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.

  • 한반도의 3차원적인 지각구조와 진원의 특성을 P파와 S파의 주행시간 토모그래피 기법을 이용하여 연구하였다. 이 연구의 주요 목적은 진원, 분지 및 심부 구조지역에서의 Vp/Vs 비율의 이상 대를 찾기 위함이다. 이것은 한반도의 보다 세부적인 지진 구조력 데이터의 예측을 고려했다. 지진 토모그래피를 이용한 본 연구의 결과에서 진원에서의 높은 Vp/Vs 비율의 차이를 수직성분에서 찾을 수 있었다. 퇴적 분지와 추가령 구조곡 아래에서 높은 Vp/Vs 비율이 나타났다. 이는 마그마 분출 후 마그마가 고체화되고, 원생수(connate water)로 포화된 여러 파쇄대와 단층에 의한 것으로 추정되어진다. 대부분의 진원에서 높은 Vp/Vs 비율 차이(VRD)를 찾을 수 있었으며, 영월, 경주, 홍성, 대흥, 대관, 랑님 지진의 경우 상부지각에서 속리산, 사리원, 지리산 지진 등은 하부지각 또는, 모호 불연속면 근처에서 나타났다. 특히 대관, 대흥 및 운산에 있는 온천 지역과 높은 VRD가 일치함을 볼 수 있었다. 이것은 또한, 이 지역 하부지각에 용융체(partial melting)의 존재 가능성을 시사한다. 높은 Vp/Vs 비율 차이(VRD)는 단층과 파쇄대에 존재하던 액체 (connate water)가 지진발생 후 탈수화 작용(dehydration)이 발생하여, 강성률이 감소함을 나타낸다. 이러한 것은 진원이 부피의 변화, 전단 파쇄대(shear fracture), 장성률(rigid)의 변화를 포함하는 모멘트 텐서(moment tensor) 에 의해 표현된다는 사실에 기인한다는 것이다. 높은 Vp/Vs 비율의 차이(VRD)는 또한, 백두산의 40km 깊이 아래에서 찾을 수 있는데 이는 강성률을 감소시키는 마그마 방(magma chamber)가 존재함을 암시해준다.

  • 우리 민족의 영산인 백두산은 동북아시아 지역에서 가장 활동적인 화산의 하나이며, 10세기 대분화는 지난 2,000년 이내에서 가장 격렬한 화산활동이었다. 백두산 천지 일원에서는 2002년에서 2005년까지 지하 마그마의 관입에 의한 화산성 지진의 급증 및 비정상적인 지표 변형이 발생하였다. 화산구조성 지진의 규모가 2002년 7월부터 갑자기 급증하였으며, 지진발생 빈도도 한 달에 수십 회에서 수백 회로 증가하였으며, 2002-2003년도에는 하루에 백 여 회의 군발(群發)지진이 발생하였으며, 2003년에는 연간 2,100여 회 발생하였고, 2006년도부터는 감소하는 추세를 보여 현재에는 1999년-2001년의 수준을 유지하고 있다. 주파수가 대체로 5 Hz 또는 5-10 Hz의 범위에 속하는 이러한 지진들은 B-형 화산구조성 지진(VT-B)과 장주기 지진(LP)으로 지하 3~5 km 천부에 위치한 마그마방 상부의 균열과 마그마의 관입에 기인하는 것이다. 2002년도부터 2009년도까지의 GPS관측에 의한 지표면의 수평변위에 의하면 2002년 이후 천지 칼데라 정상부를 중심으로 화산체가 팽창하는 것이 감지되었으며, 2002년도 대비 2003년도에는 약 4 cm 이상이었고 2003년도 이후에 그 변화율은 감소하는 경향으로 보였다. 백두산 성층화산체 사면에서의 정밀수준 측량에 의한 지표면의 수직적 팽창 또한 최대 10 cm 이상의 변위를 보였으며, 수직 변위와 수평 변위 모두 2006년도 이후 변화율은 다소 감소하는 추세를 보이나, 여전히 불안정한 상태를 보이고 있다. 온천에서 채취한 화산가스로부터 분석된 헬륨 동위원소비($^3He/^4He$)의 높은 값은 이들 가스들이 맨틀로부터 유래된 것임을 증명하고 있다. 천지 주변의 온천수의 온도가 $69^{\circ}C$에서 점진적으로 증가하여 최대 $83^{\circ}C$에 이르고 있다. 그간 비교적 큰 규모의 지진에 의한 산사태, 암벽붕괴, 화산가스에 의한 나무의 고사 등이 관찰되었고, 올해 여름 천지 칼데라 외륜산의 절벽으로부터 수차례의 암벽붕괴도 발생하였다. 이런 모든 현상들이 백두산 천지화산이 불안정한 상태에 있으며, 잠재적으로는 충분하게 분화 가능성이 있다는 것을 지시하는 것이다. 강력한 화산 감시 모니터링과 화산재해 경감을 위한 사전 방재대책이 필요한 단계라고 평가된다.

  • 지반의 동적 변형 특성인 전단파 속도(Vs), 압축파 속도(Vp), 그리고 그에 따른 포아송 비(v)는 내진 설계나 내진 성능 평가 외에도 구조물의 거동 평가에 필요한 매우 중요한 지반 정수이다. 지난 수 십 년 동안 이러한 지반 정수를 효율적이고 정밀하게 측정하기 위해 여러 가지 검측공 탄성파 시험 기법들이 개발 및 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 가장 신뢰성이 높은 현장 탄성파 기법인 크로스홀 탄성파 시험 기법을 지반 동적 물성을 획득하기 위한 기법으로 선정하였다. 지하수위 존재 여부에 관계없이 토사뿐만 아니라 암반을 대상으로 크로스홀 시험을 성공적으로 수행할 수 있도록 연직 시추공 안에서 지반에 대한 횡방향 가진이 가능한 스프링식 발진 장치를 개발하고, 두 곳의 기존 항만 부두 부지와 두 곳의 신규 LNG 저장 시설 부지로 구성된 국내 세 지역을 대상으로 크로스홀 탄성파 시험을 실시하였다. 대상 부지에서의 횡방향 가진의 크로스홀 시험으로부터 깊이별 Vs, Vp 및 v와 같은 지반 동적 특성을 효율적으로 결정하였으며, 적용 대상 시설물인 기존 항만 부두 시설물의 내진 성능 평가 그리고 신규 LNG 저장 시설물의 내진 설계를 위한 근본 자료로 제시하였다.

  • 백두산에서는 2002년부터 화산성 지진활동의 증가, 정밀 수준측량 관측을 통한 지표면 팽창, 특정 화산가스 방출량의 증가, 온천수의 온도 증가 등 화산 전조활동이 활발해짐으로써 나타나는 전조현상들이 관측되었다. 이러한 관측결과 중 정밀 수준측량 데이터를 활용한 백두산 천지 칼데라 주변의 수직, 수평 지표변위 경향 분석을 통해 2002년 이후 2009년까지 지표가 팽창하는 경향을 나타냄으로써 백두산 지하 마그마 챔버의 부피가 증가하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이후 2010년을 기점으로 지표가 수축하는 경향을 나타내기도 하였으나 이후 다시 팽창하는 경향을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 북측 사면에서 2002년부터 2003년까지 칼데라 외륜산 일대의 지표면이 46.33 mm 융기 팽창한 것을 바탕으로 지하 마그마 챔버의 부피 변화량을 계산해 보면, 약 0.008 $km^3$ ($7.7-8.0{\times}10^6m^3$)의 부피가 증가한 것으로 계산되었다. 이는 백두산 산정부로부터 지하 약 5 km 지점에 천처 마그마 챔버가 형성되고 0.008 $km^3$의 마그마가 주입된 것으로 해석된다.

  • This paper represents the final results of a research program sponsored by the European Commission through project WIND-CHIME ($\underline{W}$ide Range Non-$\underline{IN}$trusive $\underline{D}$evices toward $\underline{C}$onservation of $\underline{HI}$storical Monuments in the $\underline{ME}$diterranean Area), in which the possibility of using advanced seismic protection technologies to preserve historical monuments in the Mediterranean area is investigated. In the current research, the dynamic characteristics of two outstanding Mamluk-Style minarets, which similar minarets were reported to experience extensive damage during Dahshur 1992 earthquake, are investigated. The first minaret is the Qusun minaret (1337 A.D, 736 Hijri Date (H.D)) located in El-Suyuti cemetery on the southern side of the Salah El-Din citadel. The minaret is currently separated from the surrounding building and is directly resting on the ground (no vaults underneath). The total height of the minaret is 40.28 meters with a base rectangular shaft of about 5.42 ${\times}$ 5.20 m. The second minaret is the southern minaret of Al-Sultaniya (1340 A.D, 739 H.D). It is located about 30.0 meters from Qusun minaret, and it is now standing alone but it seems that it used to be attached to a huge unidentified structure. The style of the minaret and its size attribute it to the first half of the fourteenth century. The minaret total height is 36.69 meters and has a 4.48 ${\times}$ 4.48 m rectangular base. Field investigations were conducted to obtain: (a) geometrical description of the minarets, (b) material properties of the minarets' stones, and (c) soil conditions at the minarets' location. Ambient vibration tests were performed to determine the modal parameters of the minarets such as natural frequencies and mode shapes. A $1/16^{th}$ scale model of Qusun minaret was constructed at Cairo University Concrete Research Laboratory and tested under free vibration with and without SMA wire dampers. The contribution of SMA wire dampers to the structural damping coefficient was evaluated under different vertical loads and vibration amplitudes. Experimental results were used along with the field investigation data to develop a realistic 3-D finite element model that can be used for seismic risk evaluation of the minarets. Examining the updated finite element models under different seismic excitations indicated the vulnerability of such structures to earthquakes with medium to high a/v ratio. The use of SMA wire dampers was found feasible for reducing the seismic risk for this type of structures.
