Seismic fragility assessments include a procedure to combine the random variables of response and capacity to produce the relationship between failure probability and seismic intensity. The evaluation of the failure probability of simultaneous multiple failures of two or more components assumes that the failure probability of each component is independent of those of the others. However, a correlation is expected to exist because several random factors have the same cause. The multiple-failure probability can differ depending on this correlation and may be unconservative without considering the seismic correlation. Therefore, a practical methodology for fragility assessment should be evaluated using the seismic correlation and correlation coefficient for each random variable. In this study, several random variables were selected for numerical evaluation of the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient was then compared with each variable and the combined variables. The correlation coefficient using simplified and complex models were also compared to determine and analyze the differences between each of the approaches.

본 연구에서는 건물의 규모, 용도 및 형식 등에 따라 다양하게 요구되는 성능에 대응할 수 있도록 하기 위한 성능설계에 대한 개념을 검증하고, 강구조 건축물의 특성을 고려한 성능레벨 및 성능한계에 대한 분류방법을 제안하였다. 또한 강구조 건축물의 경우 강도가 높고 경량인 특성에 의해 다른 구조형식에서는 크게 고려하지 않아도 되는 거주성능 및 진동특성을 제어하여 기능을 유지하기 위한 성능레벨을 설정하여 구조물이 항복하기 전의 성능레벨을 기능유지 및 무손상의 2단계로 제시하고, 이 때의 한계치를 기능한계 및 손상한계로 구분하였다. 강구조 건축물의 손상한계를 정의하기 위해 강구조 건축물의 설계 예를 이용하여 항복 층간변형각을 조사하였다. 그 결과 구조물의 손상발생을 억제할 수 있는 손상한계를 규정하기 위해 주로 사용하고 있는 층간변형각은 구조형식 및 설계방법에 따라 편차가 크게 나타나고 있으므로 손상한계치의 층간변형각을 임의로 설정하는 것은 매우 어려우며 향후 이에 대한 해석적, 실험적 검증이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

Dynamic characteristics of a structure, i.e., natural frequency and mode shape, have been widely using as an input data in the area of structural integrity or health monitoring which combined with the damage evaluation and structural system identification techniques. It is very difficult, however, to get those information by the conventional modal analysis method from large structures, such as the offshore structure or the long-span bridge, since the source of vibration is not available. In this paper, a method to obtain the frequencies and the mode shapes of a large span truss structure using only acceleration responses is studied. The calculation procedures to obtain acceleration responses and frequency response functions are provided utilizing a numerical model of the truss, and the process to extract natural frequencies and mode shapes from the modal analysis is cleary explained. The extracted mode shapes by proposed method are compared with those from eigenvalue analysis for the estimation of accuracy. The validity of the mode shapes is also demonstrated using an existing damage detection technique for the truss structure by simulated damage cases.

As Cable-stayed bridges were constructed to the long span, they have become bigger and had weaknesses to vibration induced by earthquake, wind and vehicle loads. Structural damages induced by these loads affect the characteristic of vibration modes of structure. Damage detection of cable-stayed bridges by using existing safety diagnosis is difficult to detect the characteristic change of overall structural action. Also it requires very much time and cost. So in this study, the investigation of characteristic change of structural action and the detection of structural damages is analyzed by using characteristic properties of vibration mode before and after structural damage.

직물구조 복합재료는 일방향 섬유강화복합재료에 비해 변형능력이나 인장강도가 우수하므로, 항공우주, 첨단 산업 기기에 적용될 뿐만 아니라 다른 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있으나 복잡한 강화구조를 가지기 때문에 그 역학적 손상거동은 파악하기가 쉽지 않다. Uetsugi 등은 직물구조 CFRP 복합재에 대하여 미세구조를 고려한 유한요소모델을 제안하여 손상진전 해석하였고, 지금까지 많은 연구자에 의해 여러 가지 수법이 제안되어져 왔으나, 아직까지 명확한 파괴거동 해석수법이 확립되어 있지 않다.(중략)

화력발전설비의 주요 손상 요인 중의 하나인 응력부식 균열 성장에 대한 확률론적 잔존 수명평가에 대하여 연구하였으며, 손상해석 및 수명평가에 확률해석 기법을 도입한 확률론적 수명평가 프로그램을 개발하였다. 확률론적 수명평가는 재료물성치, 형상, 하중조건, 운전조건 등과 같은 불확실성과 변동 가능성을 고려하여 해석을 수행하며, 일정 시간 운전후 구조물의 손상이 일어날 확률을 예측하는 것이다. 응력부식 균열 성장에 대한 확률론적 잔존 수명평가 연구를 통하여 확률론적 수명평가 기술의 기반을 구축하였으며, 다른 손상기구에 대한 확률론적 수명평가를 수행하여 발전설비에 발생하는 모든 손상에 대하여 확률론적 수명평가가 가능하도록 확대할 계획이다.

A method to estimate damage of bridge structures is developed using system identification approach. Dynamic behavior of damaged structures is represented by a non-linear hysteretic moment model. Structural properties can be evaluated through system identification. To incorporate variability of the structural properties and uncertainties of structural response, damage is represented as random quantities. Numerical example is shown for the bridge structure under different ground excitation.

In this study, repair and maintenance schemes of the damaged composite structure was investigated, and a repair process of the carbon/epoxy laminate composite structure was investigated numerically and experimentally. The composite laminates were damaged by drop weight type impact test machine. The damaged composite structure was repaired using external patch repair method after removing damaged area. The compressive strength test and analysis results after repairing the impact damaged specimens were compared with the compressive strength test and analysis results of undamaged specimens and impact damaged specimens. Finally, the strength recovery capability by repairing were investigated.
